Release 04:07
Patience is not my best virtue I wanna let go of the past But despite my best intentions I still shatter like glass Wish I could be all that you wanted But what you see is what you get I'm not gonna give up a shred of my dignity If you won't even lend me your heart The maybes and the somedays are tearing me apart I need peace and understanding to feel my weary soul I need to let you know I've got to let you go I need to let you know It's time I let you go
2.
Every night in the city, there's a heart that's shutting out the light In the shadows it ain't pretty, when no one's there to make it right And you wait for something, how long can you carry on without enoughs enough, you let go dont' call it love When the dawn finds you dreaming Another day lost in the fog And your heart feels like screaming For the one you wanted all along And you wait for something how long can you carry on without enoughs enough you let go Don't call it love Don't call it love Don't call it love Don't call it love Don't call it love

Love Song 04:05
I'm gonna right you a love song Sing it out straight from the heart You're a light in my life and I need you close Before you go, there's something that you should know We've been all over the question We've talked about it all night long But it's hard to take when we're miles apart To leave me all alone waiting in the dark Chorus: I'm gonna write you a love song Every every day I'm gonna write you a love song Please won't you stay Listen carefully to what I've got to say I've wanted you so hard from the start But I can't stand back and let you go Like you're just another man I used to know Chorus

The Dream 06:05
I fight for the days and I live for the nights I play my piano and try to stay up right The evening approaches and you call me to my dreams Singing: come on baby lets see this through Chorus: You sing, sometimes we fight but it don't make no sense But then we get it right and I'm climbing down off that fence Please pretty baby, listen to my plea Oh lets try try try try The new morning rises, I wake up alone from that dear dream The fact is we've traveled far far beyond relief Reality tell me I really should move on But I'd rather sit here and listen to you song Chorus
5.
The windows of my heart are burning Scorched by the light from you This house is in flames but this phoenix is rising And it's all because of you Chorus: The sun rises in the morning It sets down each and every single night I see the North Star shining It tells me, if you can see it too then we'll be alright The sea is rising and you're treading water Capcized by the lightning storm I'll bring you in to my safe harbour And do my best to keep you from harm Chorus
