Tell Me What You Want
Tell me what you want
And I will do it for you
I'll do anything to make you love me
Whatever it is
That your heart desires
Becomes a mission
For me
Cause whatever it is
I'll never tire
I'll do it
If it makes you happy
Tell me what you want
And I will do it for you
I'll do anything to make you love me
Whatever I have
You know it's yours
Just ask
And I'll give to you
All I ask
Is that in return
You tell me
That you love me
Tell me what you want
And I will do it for you
I'll do anything to make you love me

I Don't Know Me
03:09
|
|||
|
I Don't know Me
How can I
Find the drive
To survive
With my world
Closing in
Collapsing
Maybe I
Don't understand
God's plan for
My life
When my sin
Is my friend
I feel so much pressure
To comprehend
How to fill the hole caused
By what I let in
How do I know what to change
When I don't know me
Hard to stop things from staying the same
When I don't know me
How can I
Shed the chains
Grab the reigns
With my world
Imploding
Exploding

Stand Up
03:29
|
|||
|
Stand Up!!!
I can't martyr myself
For you
Even if heaven
Is what I got to lose
No matter what you say
I've got to find my own way
I Cannot die living life for you
I don't know if what you say
I am believing
All I know is what you say
I'm not receiving
I'm going to be who I am
And be what I'm called to be
And I don't give a damn
What you say about me
I won't suffer any more
For you
So even your love
I am willing to lose
I let your love imprison me
But now I'm ready to be free
I will not live on blended knee
I got to unleash what's in me
And be what I'm called to be
I don't care what you do and
What you say about me

I'm A Chameleon

I’m A Chameleon
Verse 1
I smile on the outside
Portraying that it’s alright, it’s alright
But deep inside I am dying
I laugh on the outside
Showing that it’s alright, it’s alright
But deep inside I am crying
But one day, in some way
The truth will shine through
Cause one day, in some way
I will show you, that
Chorus
I’m a Chameleon
I’ll be what you want me to be
With colors in the millions
Let you see what you want to see
I’m a Chameleon
I’ll say what you want me to say
Your reality’s my fiction
I’ll play what you want me to play
Change
I live a life filled with compromise
Cause who I really am you’ll only despise
Verse 2
I agree on the outside
Saying that it's alright, it's alright
But deep inside I am lying
I submit on the outside
Showing that it’s alright, it’s alright
But deep inside I’m rebelling
But one day, in some way
The truth will shine through
Cause one day, in some way
I will show you, cause
Chorus
I'm a Chameleon
I'll be what you want me to be
With colors in the millions
Let you see what you want to see
I’m a Chameleon
I’ll say what you want me to say
Your reality’s my fiction
I’ll play what you want me to play
Change
I live a life filled with compromise
Cause who I really am you will only despise.

She Knows What She Wants
02:58

|
She Knows What She Wants
She didn't know where the road would lead
All she knew is that she had to be free
She felt so trapped and afraid, but was numb
Her shackles and chains were the price she paid
For her freedom
Though she was broke, she was free
Peace of mind would be all that she needs
A normal life at a high price
Full of strife would never suffice
She knows, she knows what she wants
She knows, she knows what she wants
She never was told how to fulfill her dreams
All she knew was low self esteem.
Late one night, something changed in her mind
She knew she would leave her old life behind
Though she was broke, she was free
Peace of mind would be all that she needs
A normal life at a high price
Full of strife would never suffice
She knows, she knows what she wants
She knows, she knows what she wants

The Passion
03:29
|

|
The Passion
To keep your fire burning
When it's raining
You immerse yourself
And become consumed in it all
To keep your desire churning
When it's freezing cold
You risk your life
And don't care if you lose it all
What's worth dying for
Is what we're living for
No matter what you do
You got to keep the passion burning in you
To keep your torch shining
In a darkened cave
You believe in the light
Even when it flickers and dims
To keep ambition high
When they're doubting you
You don't stop moving
No matter what is said to you
|

You're My Hero
04:26
|
|||
|
You're My Hero
The sun will shine again tomorrow
Even though I cry tonight
Can't seem to get beyond the sorrow
Even when I can see the light
Things bring me down
Make me lose my ground
Make me question who I am
Things wanting my soul
Trying to take control
Make me question who gives a damn
Through my tears
I know that you are here
Cause You're my Hero
I know I will stand again tomorrow
Even though I crawl today
So my smiles I will borrow
Knowing laughter is on the way
Fear making me blind
Doubt gripping my mind
Make me lose faith in you
Faults are taking a toll
Make me heart grow cold
Make me doubt what to do
Through my tears
I know that you are here
No matter what I say
Your love will find a way
Cause You're my Hero

Say "Yes"
03:28
|

|
Say Yes
Don't trouble your mind
About what I say
Cause when I say it
You know, it must be this way
Don't trouble your heart
About what I do
Cause when I do it
You know, it's good for you
Say yes
To control
It will save your soul
Say yes
To the dream
Join the machine
Say yes
And say no
To your mind
Say yes
And embrace
What is divine
Don't trouble your eyes
With what appears to be true
Cause if I see it
You know, I will tell you
Don't analyze
What I say to you
Cause thinking
You know, is not good for you
Say yes
To control
It will save your soul
Say yes
To the dream
Join the machine
Say yes
And say no
To your mind
Say yes
And embrace
What is divine
Accept all
That I say as true
Cause what's in me is greater
Than what's in you
All that I want
Is what is best for you
But to achieve this
I must break you

When I feel low
Everything will be right
If I'm with you

Every single night

Feel you soothing my mind
Feel your love taking hold
Take me somewhere divine
You Take Me Higher And Deeper
You Take Me Higher And Deeper love
I know
That I grow
Every single time
That I'm with you
Cause with you
I bloom
And I can't fail
Because of you

Keep me from falling apart
And help me touch the sky

Heavy Heart

Heavy Heart
Why is my heart so
Heavy when I'm
With you my heart slows
To a stand still
With you my mind goes
And leaves me empty
No spark nothing flows
I feel so wasted
And your love on my heart
Weighs so heavily
Your love on my heart
Brings me down
And your love on my heart
Weighs so heavily
Your love on my heart
Breaks me down
My heart has grown cold
For your love now
Cause your words have grown old
And power devoid of
Have I lost my soul
Because of you
Or have I become bold
In spite of you
And your love on my heart
Weighs so heavily
Your love on my heart
Brings me down
And your love on my heart
Weighs so heavily
Your love on my heart
Breaks me down

I Am Free
Don't get mad at me
For wanting to be free
So Stop trying to change me
To who you think I ought to be
Please don't fight with me
For striving to be free
Trying to put chains on me
And define my destiny.
I Am Free
So don't get mad at me
For strutting confidently
Declaring totally
My individuality
I Am Free
Don't put your shackels on me
Don't put your chains on me
Don't cast your doubt on me
And try to make me not believe
I Am Free

So Much Better
Verse
I tell ya baby
You really took me for a ride
Being with you
I nearly lost my mind
Bridge
As I changed my
Whole world for you
I realized
My life was so untrue
As I changed my
Whole life for you
I realized
That my pain only grew
Change
As I faded away
I knew my life was mine to reclaim
Now every passing day
Your control started to wane
Chorus
My Life, So much Better
My Life, So much Better
Verse 2
Your love for me
Gave me insecurity
Your attempts to change me
Left me incomplete
Bridge
As I changed my
Whole world for you
I realized
My life was so untrue
As I changed my
Whole life for you
I realized
That my pain only grew
Change
As I faded away
I knew my life was mine to reclaim
Now every passing day
Your control started to wane
Chorus
My Life, So much Better
My Life, So much Better
