Letra
I thought that you'd be loving me I thought you were the one who'd stay forever But now forever's come and gone And I'm still here alone BRIDGE #1 'Cause you were only playing You were only playing with my heart I was never waiting, I was never waiting for the tears to start CHORUS It was you Who put the clouds around me It was you Who made the tears fall down It was you Who broke my heart in pieces It was you, it was you Who made my blue eyes blue Oh, Never should have trusted you I thought that I'd be all you need In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven And now my heaven's gone away And I'm out in the cold BRIDGE #2 'Cause you had me believing You had me believing in a lie Guess I couldn't see it Guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye Repeat CHORUS Repeat BRIDGE #1 It was you Who put the clouds around me It was you It was you Who put the clouds around me It was you Repeat CHORUS oh, never should have trusted you oh, never should have trusted you oh, never should have trusted you - Change The World
Letra
If I could reach the stars I'd pull one down for you Shine it on my heart So you could see the truth That this love I have inside Is everything it seems But for now I find It's only in my dreams That I can change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe You would think my love was really something good Baby, if I could change the world If I could be king Even for a day I'd take you as my queen I'd have it no other way And our love would rule This kingdom we have made Till then I'll be a fool Wishin' for the day That I can change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe You would think my love was really something good Baby, if I could change the world Baby, if I could change the world That I can change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe You would think my love was really something good Baby, if I could change the world Baby, if I could change the world Baby, if I could change the world - My Father's Eyes
- Tears In Heaven
Letra
Would you know my name If I saw you in Heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in Heaven? I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in Heaven Would you hold my hand If I saw you in Heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in Heaven? I'll find my way Through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in Heaven Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please Beyond the door There's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more Tears in Heaven Would you know my name If I saw you in Heaven? Would you be the same If I saw you in Heaven? I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in Heaven 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in Heaven - Layla
Letra
What will you do when you get lonely And no one's waiting by your side? You've been running and hiding much too long You know it's just your foolish pride Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Tried to give you consolation When your old man, he let you down Like a fool, I fell in love with you You turned my whole world upside down Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane Please don't say we'll never find a way Or tell me all my love's in vain Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? - Pretending
Letra
How many times must we tell the tale? How many times must we fall? Living in lost memory You just recalled Working on the sound of the band Trying to get the music right Two go out working Three stay home at night That's when she said she was pretending Like she knew the plan That's when I knew she was pretending Pretending to understand Pretending, pretending Pretending, pretending Satisfied but lost in love Situations change You're never who you used to think you are How strange I get lost in alibis Sadness can't prevail Everybody knows strong love Can't fail Don't be pretending about how you feel Don't be pretending that your love is real Don't be pretending about how you feel Don't be pretending that your love is real - Bad Love
Letra
Oh, what a feeling I get when I'm with you You take my heart into everything you do And it makes me sad for the lonely people I walked that road for so long Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people Your love is making me strong I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love And now I see that my life has been so blue With all the heartaches I had 'till I met you But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me With you here by my side And there's no more memories to remind me Your love will keep me alive I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love I've had enough I've had enough No more bad love I've had enough I've had enough - Before You Accuse Me (Take A Look At Yourself)

- Forever Man
Letra
How many times must I tell you baby How many bridges I've got to cross? How many times must I explain myself Before I can talk to the boss 'Fore I can talk to the boss? How many times must I say I love you Before you finally understand? Won't you be my forever woman? I'll try to be your forever man Try to be your forever man How many times must I say I love you Before you finally understand? Won't you be my forever woman? I'll try to be your forever man Try to be your forever man (6x) Forever man Try to be your forever man (9x) Forever man Try to be your forever man - Running On Faith
Letra
Lately I've been running on faith What else can a poor boy do? But my world will be right When love comes over you Lately I've been talking in my sleep I can't imagine what I'd have to say Except my world will be right When love comes back your way I've always been One to take each and every day Seems like by now I'd find a love who cares just for me Then we'd go running on faith All of our dreams would come true And our world will be right When love comes over me and you Then we'd go running on faith All of our dreams would come true And our world will be right When love comes over me and you When love comes over you - She's Waiting
- River Of Tears
Letra
Its 3 miles to the river That would carry me away And 2 miles to the dusty street That I saw you on Today Its 4 miles to my lonely room Where I will hide my face And about a half a mile to the downtown bar That I ran from in disgrace Lord how long do I have to keep on running Seven hours, Seven days or Seven years All I know is since youve been gone feels like Im drowning in a river Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feels like I'm drowning Drowning in a river In 3 more days, I'll leave this town And dissapear without a trace A year from now maybe settle down Where no one knows my face I wish that I could hold you One more time to ease the pain But my times run out and I got to go Got to run away again Still I catch myself thinking One day I'll find my way back here You'll save me from drowning Drowning in a river Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feels like I'm drowning Drowning in a river Oh how long must this go on Drowning in a river Drowning in a river of tears - (I) Get Lost
