we can be that change

i know it’s ours to claim 

we can build on what’s begun 

and I’m hoping you might,  just take the time

to see what plays out on this ride 

oh yes it started tough

but I know we got enough…  to stand up and walk these miles 

we surely won’t pretend about what we intend 

we can make it through these trials  

 

it’s just that good 

what we’ve made so far 

it’s just that good 

gonna work it real hard

 it’s just that good worth all the fuss

 just that good and its all up to us

 

and we learn from each other

about how to be a lover 

give all ourselves this time 

and we took this chance together

and it just doesn’t come whenever 

we can make it through these trials 

 

it’s just that good 

what we’ve made so far 

it’s just that good 

gonna work it real hard

 it’s just that good worth all the fuss

 just that good and its all up to us

 

all up to us

in our love we can trust

all up to us 

 

we can build on whats begun

​

girl said I was no good for nothing that's what she said

but I think I'm good for some things

even though she wished me dead 

and I can tell you one thing that’s how some days flow

you got just one assumption then out the door you go 

don't blame me 

can't you see

the writing is on the wall

and they hate on me 

but I can see, now,  the truth behind it all 

 

i've always done things my way and I’ve made my bed

worked real hard to have my day always trying to stay ahead 

and If I’ve learned just one thing lots of games get played 

funny how it just happens

that it breaks down this way 

 

don't blame me 

can't you see

the writing is on the wall

they hate on me 

i can see truth behind it all 

 

you always give me he thumbs down.

nothing good is said 

your bad vibes always around 

gotta keep it out my head 

and if i’ve learned just one thing I'll walk my way 

i’ll keep my head held high I'll never gonna astray 

 

don't blame me 

can't you see

 the writing is on the wall

and they hate on me 

but I can see the truth behind it all 

oh yeah baby can’t you see

the writings on the wall

when you hate on me

I can see the truth behind it all 

 

The truth behind it all

​

it’s hard to say it but I know that it’s true

with all the shady things that you do

acting crazy and I ain’t no fool I can tell

it’s hard to say it but I’ve had my fun

the sleepless nights when you wait for the sun 

you always know good things could be done but I can tell

 

your presence takes my breath away

​

and I already saved the lies you gave

I can’t take your crying when

it’s not all you take but what you make comes back again

you can try to fake your sad state

but no one‘s going to help you when

it all yeah it all comes back again

comes back again

​

it’s hard to say it but the time has come

to hang up what used to be fun

you always know when it’s done it’s done I can tell

 

and I already saved the lines you gave

i can’t take your crying when

it’s not all you take but what you make that comes back again

you can try to fake your sad state

but no one‘s going to help you when

it all yeah it all comes back again

comes back again

​

​

this complacent life has got to change

has got deep into my veins

an unforgiving time

caused a strain 

but it’s not the way I live today

and I can say that I planned it

i won’t take another heartache because I can’t stand it 

 

and those restless nights

caused a drain on my strength and now I’m praying 

for a better time to come my way and when I finally felt ok

is when I could say that I planned it 

i won’t take another mistake because I can’t stand it

i can say that I demand it

i won’t take another heartache because I can’t stand it

no no no no 

 

and I failed to recognize false hopes and needed change

and my hours seem like days

that dragged on for sometime but I had to break away 

i reached a point and can see the way 

​

now I can say that I planned it I won’t take another mistake because I can’t stand it

well I can say I demand it 

i won’t take another heartache because I can’t stand it

​

​

heaven save me from myself this time

don't wanna go and lose what i made mine

yes heaven save me from myself this time

and i don't know if i got what it takes

to be who i need to be

​

seven days and it seems like i've been gone so long

won't be the same when i come back around
i try to change but you know i'm not that strong

and i don't know if i got what it takes

to be who i need to be

​

ya but i'm going to try 

to take a different stand 

to be a better man 

to prove who i am 

and that i can 

​

heaven save me from myself this time

don't wanna go and lose, lose what i made mine

sometimes the hardest change 

can bring about the very best of things

and i don't know if i got what it takes 

To be who i need to be

​

ya but i'm going to try 

to take a different stand 

to be a better man 

to prove who i am 

and that i can 

​

yes heaven save me from myself this time

 don't know if i got what it takes

to be who i need to be

​

sometimes you got to make a change

when you know you’re on the wrong road

and sometimes you got to look at things

from a view that’s not your own

and sometimes you gotta draw some lines

start living for your own life

and sometimes you oughta take the time

to look around and see the signs

Oh oh

 

and it won’t be long

just shake it up wake up look for this new day dawn

well it won’t be long

 

sometimes I think about some things that

i shouldn’t have to worry on

and sometimes it feels like I’m flying with broken wings

when I should be hurrying on

sometimes with all that evil brings

you think by now we’ve made a change

and sometimes i want to take my dreams

and turn them to something I can believe 

oh oh

 

and it won’t be long

just shake it up wake up look for this new day dawn

well it won’t be long

fix it up mix up it up and look to be moving on 

and it wont be long 

wont be long 

 

come to your senses and move on

find your heart and know that you can carry-on

down in your soul you know you’re strong

come to your senses and move on

oh move on

​

​

someone I used to know 

had a side that he didn't show

he was blind and out of control 

from the demons he concealed down below 

​

and i bet you know how his story goes

a sad sad struggle that nobody knows

down the drain there it goes

cuz he couldn't fight the Urge and Temptation

​

oh no no no The urge and temptation

there must be some way out 

of this fixation 

oh no no no

how you showed no elation 

there must be some way out 

some way out yeah 

​

she said babe you got to go 

that was the last thing he heard before

she turned away and slammed the door

cuz he just couldn't fight 

the urge and temptation

​

the long road it set its course

he was to proud to feel remorse 

but the taste of poison was more his style 

warm greetings became fake smiles

friends melted into enemies

this was more than he was willing to see

there was so much more he could be

just couldn't fight the Urge and Temptation 

​

oh no no no the urge and temptation

there must be some way out 

of this fixation 

oh no no no

how you showed no elation 

there must be some way out 

some way out yeah 

​

​

​

it's storming outside 

it's so cold and grey

feel so withdrawn 

staring through the haze

and for one brief moment i falter 

down and away

and then a swift warning comes

and leaves me sleeping wide awake

because you blow me away 

​

she said she won't take long 

she's coming here to stay

coming down strong 

in the pouring rain 

and for one brief moment i tremble 

because love makes me afraid

and then a swift warning comes

and reminds me its all okay

you blow me away 

​

this whole thing can work out 

and what you think is nothing can turn into something 

can we take the steps to break this open now

ya this whole thing can work out 

because what you think is nothing can turn into something 

can we take the steps and one thing i gotta say

​

don't want to screw this up 

i might make the wrong move

don't want to let this fall apart

yes i'm afraid to lose 

these thoughts fill my head 

better off left unsaid

​

​

​

you go and live your life 

with nothing to regret

you give it all you can 

you go and live your life

and there's nothing you won't let 

get in the way of happiness

​

so who are you to take this kind of fall

when  you shouldn't be the one at all

so who are you to take this kind of fall

 you shouldn't be the one at all

​

troubles as they come 

you let roll off your back 

nothing seems to get you down 

troubles as they come 

don't get you off track

when there's no hope to be found

​

you seemed to have it all

but I guess fate it came to call 

so hard to watch you fall 

watch you fall 

​

a bad memory can linger on in time

it's not easy to forget 

a bad memory can linger in your mind

but only if you let it.

​

 

that’s what you get when you don’t tell it straight

that’s what you got now it’s much too late

you didn’t hold on and make it last, now

now you can only dream about the past

because you’re never going to get my lovin baby

never going to get my heart 

never going to get my lovin baby

i shoulda know right from the start 

​

that’s what you get when you don’t tell the truth

leave me tired, used and confused

you just keep on living on your lies

now at all I’m going to do is say goodbye

because you’re never going to get my lovin, baby 

never gonna get my heart

never going to get my lovin baby

shoulda know right from the start

 

that’s what you get playing me for a fool

acting out and not following rules

you left me hoping about things that can’t be

and I really want to tell you now I can see

that you’re never going to get my lovin baby

never going to get my heart

 

never going to get my lovin baby 

i should’ve known right from the start

no no no no no

never going to get my lovin baby

never going to get my heart

never going to get my lovin baby

you should’ve known right from the start
