These clouds aren't going nowhere, baby
Rain keeps coming down
I just thought I'd try to call you, baby
For you got too far outta town
And I hope that you get this message that I'm leaving for you
'Cause I hate that you left without hearing the words that I needed you to
The city of angels is lonely tonight
Keep myself alive by candlelight
Say she can't love you like I do
Look me in the eyes and say it's true
I ask myself is this love at all
When I need you most you let me fall
I'm always here at the side of your stage
Let you live your life
Pretend I'm okay
I can pretend that I don't see you
I can pretend I don't wanna hold you when you're around
When you're around
I can say that nothing was right
But we know if I looked in your eyes
I'd break down
Yeah let's break down
It's been like this from the start
One piece after another to make my heart
You mistake the game for bein' smart
Stand here, sell this, and hit your mark
I've been stranded on a lonely street
Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
The cries and the suffering
I walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless
For those who don't know me, I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way, yep, 24 hours a day
'Cause I'm hot like that
Every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention
Like I'm under inspection, I always get the 10s
'Cause I'm built like that
Imagining you're far away
Searching for the words to say
I feel it when you fall apart
Our lives are our greatest art
I don't want to change your mind
'Cause I accept you
For everything you are and will be
Stay here with me now
We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
[Chorus:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could let you know somehow
I guess
[Chorus]
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but the scar, that scar will remain
[Solo]
I know I could saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
and now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess
Oh, can you take care of her
Oh, maybe you can spare her
Several movements of your consideration
Leading up to the final destination
Oh, the earth is calling out
These four walls
They whisper to me
They know a secret
I knew they would not keep
Didn't take long for the room to fill with trust
And these four walls came down around us
I have to wonder if this wave's too big to ride
Commit or not commit is such a crazy time
It's sooner than I thought but you called me out
I lost control and there's no doubt
I'm gonna start all over
wake up here I go
Cram it all down my throat
Stomach so full that I wish I could choke
7 am my heads already in a spin
As soon as I'm out that door
Bam it hits me like a ton of those red bricks
Can't dig myself out of this highest ditch
This madness
I swaer sometimes i can't tell
Which way is up
Which way is down
It's all up in my face
I need to push it away
Somebody push it away
So all I can hear
Is a simple song
Sing along now
La la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
La
i got my sights set on you and i'm ready to aim
i have a heart that will never be tamed
i knew you were somethin' special when you spoke my name
now i can't wait to see you again
Why do I just lie awake and think of you?
I need some sleep.
Tomorrow I have things to do.
Everytime I close my eyes I see your face,
So I try to read, but all I do is lose my place.
