I couldn't close my eyes,
I just remembered that you swore
I take no prisoners
I don't know
You got the best of me
I've learned to trust myself
I take no prisoners
REPEAT CHORUS :
I take no prisoners
REPEAT CHORUS :
I stayed up all night
I thought of promises
you gave me for life
Your words were racing through my head
"Forever together"
you won't lie
Cause you're in love again
there's nothing to hide
Of all the other ones you've had
Baby you can't fool me
I have no demands
But baby let me make you understand
what you did last night
Keep your secrets, maybe I'll keep mine
Watch your step
like I told you to
I'm keeping my eye on you
Keeping my eye on you
I think that's allright
But don't you mess with me
you'll never survive
Cause there's a part of you I feel
That drives me crazy
and nobody else
It's in the way you look at me
I can tell
You try so hard to make me feel good
Baby, I don't buy it
I have no demands
But I don't want a lover second hand
I don't take a chance
I'd pull the trigger
and you'd understand
Bad Blood
Bad blood, rivers run dry
Too many questions, so many unanswered times
REPEAT CHORUS :
In my confession, I swear and cross my heart
REPEAT CHORUS :
Swimming hard and fast
REPEAT CHORUS :
Thunder comes and the Children cry bad blood
never can change, no one here to blame
bad blood, older than time
followed me down from my fathers tribe
bad blood, making me shake
Running through my veins, bad blood
Most times the finger points at me
In my confusion, might slip and cross the line
I'm not to blame for all you see
you can't help me it's in my soul
pray for mercy, nowhere else to go
I stand before you what I am
gunpowder ready, just waiting for a spark
and those before me understand
please protect me, keep me safe
heaven help me, save me from this fate
against the time
lost in a flood
of ancient fire
Last Day Of My Life
It's the first thing in the morning
I'm feeling that you're leaving
You said it's forever
You said you'd always love me
Oh I don't know
I'm lost inside without you
You said it's forever
REPEAT CHORUS :
Now I'm still waiting
REPEAT CHORUS :
In the night when you told me you never let me go
and the last thing late at night
I get overwhelmed with sorrow
I know I won't survive
just when the time is right
and I know there's no tomorrow
will I ever see the light
what did I do
do you remember
I meant everything to you
Till the very last day of my life
Are you saying... now it's time to die
you swore you'd never leave me
Till the very last day of my life
are you saying that you change
your mind tonight
where it started
but I know where it will end
and I pray that you'll still love me
'Cause my life is in your hands
I hope you are as well
and I feel my soul is stranded
alone in this living hell
what did I do
do you remember
I meant everything to you
alone here in the dark
collecting all the pieces
of another foolish heart
in the night I'm still waiting for you
to hold me, you to .......
in the night you will hold me and tell me we will go
and never let me go
and never let me go
Born To Bleed
I just know it I can feel it
Sometimes I feel I was born to love you
I just knew it - you're not in here
REPEAT CHORUS :
Home at last - well, there's your car in the driveway
REPEAT CHORUS :
there's something in the air tonight
maybe the moon just gave up and fell
something's not quite right
my heart feels so empty
my mind's so full of doubt
I should just stay in, and go to bed
but now I'm stepping out
sometimes I feel I was born to die of need
I ache at the thought of you - holding another
I can't shake the feeling that I'm
born to bleed
and this where you said you'd be
talking with your friends, just being yourself
well that's the part of you that worries me
I should stay here, sort of hang out
but I quit smoking and I hardly drink
the only bad habit that I've got
Is dealing with the thoughts I think
when I get in that house I'm gonna give you
a piece of my mind
you're sound asleep - I might have known it
well what's this? You left me a note
says you waited up for me, till the sun came up
let's see what else you wrote
Cryin'
You like to play with me
I went too far on the road to nowhere
You make me haul like the wind
Crying, shake it up
I see the trouble
Just say a word and make me
I'm freezing cold
You better know that I'm losing my head
REPEAT CHORUS :
You gotta know that you pushed me to far
REPEAT CHORUS :
you drive me wild
you hurt me really deep
and I don't know why
It seems to me that I'm a long
long way from home
It's you and me in a living nightmare
I gave up everything just to stay
close to your heart
I don't know how you got under my skin
If I cry like a baby
Does it do it for you
Crying, ain't enough
If I cry till forever
Will I ever get through
and I feel the danger
Is my heart beating for a heartless stranger
see the things I don't understand
and its getting colder
I'm losing hope
I can't wait no longer
If I could read your mind
I wouldn't come around here no more
And when I go love will never come back
You'll soon know how that feels
I tell you now: there's only one way out
My last chance is, I turn it around
You Ain't Lived (Till you're loved to death)
Well you've watched the sun set on the seven seas
You ain't lived till you're loved to death
When I'm close to you baby, yeah I can tell
You ain't lived till you're loved to death
Ooh there's a whole new world
You ain't lived till you're loved to death
You ain't lived till you're loved to death
Let me love you
dined in the company of killers and queens
you think there isn't much that you haven't done
you've tasted everything that can turn you on
but there's an innocence in your eyes
another magic that you haven't tried
you ain't lived till you're loved
believe me baby, there is so much left
you ain't lived till you're loved - to death
you've never been to heaven
cause you're scared of hell
and think you know love, but it's all in vain
you've never felt the passion if you feared the pain
knocked on the door, but you never walked in
well let me take you places that you've never been
you ain't lived till you're loved
believe me baby, there is so much left
you ain't lived till you're loved - to death
here inside my heart for you
baby let me take you there
you ain't lived till you're loved
believe me baby, there is so much love
you ain't lived till you're loved
you ain't lived till you're loved
believe me baby, there is so much left
you ain't lived till you're loved to death
let me love you to death
believe me baby there is so much love
you ain't lived till you're loved to death
So Alone Together
I've been looking 'round and this is what I found
There's not one of us like the rest of us
All of us cry, all of us try to find someone
If it were not for you,
REPEAT CHORUS :
there's not one of us
who wants to be somebody else
we would trade places, even trade faces
but when it comes to the heart
we wanna stay true to ourselves
there's no two of us alike
and that will never change
all of us know it and all of us show it
but when it's down to the heart
I guess all of us are the same
whose love will last forever
all of us know, all of us are on our own
It's up to us, to make ourselves feel better
all of us so alone together
I don't know what I'd do
and I just hope we go to heaven when we're gone
I've heard it's nice up there
you just sort of walk on air
and the best part's knowing
nobody ever has to walk alone
All I Want
You turned my world around a long time ago
All I want is your love
I'm caught inside a web of mystery
REPEAT CHORUS :
I'm burning up for you, you're all that I need
REPEAT CHORUS :
I just can't take no more, got to let you know
now I'm burning with fire
passion burns along with desire
and I'm standing here waiting for the night
you belong to me
I'm burning up for you, so deep inside my soul
It's the stuff
where dreams come from
all I want is your love
take me there with your magic touch
all I want is your love
can't get enough
holding on to what I think I need
and I'm lost here without you
I know I'm a fool to allow you
and I wonder when it was
that I said you can't feel good
I'm burning up for you,
now I might loose control
the heat that I want
Is what I breathe
Enough For You
Every time you call
And every time we talk
I never had this feeling
What can take me into your heart
Everywhere I go
And every night I pray
Would it really matter
What can take me into your heart
I never had this feeling
REPEAT CHORUS :
you can't imagine what it's like
I'm getting chills
I hear you're voice each time
I get shivers down my spine
I can't deny
you're always on my mind
never so strong before
with every day I want you more
I can't stop believing
I can't stop dreaming
oh God I wish I would know
what can I do
would you help me from falling apart
Is my love enough for you ?! Enough for you !
I wish you would pass me by
I keep on waiting for you anytime
you would think of me sometimes
hope I could move your heart
your soul your mind ......
If I knew you better
would you know which way to go
I can't stop believing
I can't stop dreaming
It's you or no one in this world !
what can I do
would you help me from falling apart
Is my love enough for you, enough for you
never so strong before
with every day I want you more
I can't stop believing
I can't stop dreaming
oh God, I wish I would know
Heaven With You
I thought you'd love me forever
Now you leave me with
It's heaven with you only knowing
Standing here in the shadows
REPEAT CHORUS :
I can feel you when I'm sleeping
Now you leave me with nothing at all
REPEAT CHORUS :
I thought nothing could change your mind
as long as we were together
through every war
I could still survive
you meant everything to me and my heart
nothing at all
I know I'm falling apart
It's hell without you, are you going away
to leave me here a broken soul
In the cold and screaming dark
It's heaven with you, was I dreaming
It's hell without you, were you leaving me
and all good things come to pass
walking tall on broken glass
from my heart
heaven with you
all alone, feel it deep inside
hanging on to forever
with you here it would be so right
now I find myself coming apart at the seams
hand in hand with a memory
on a road of shattered dreams
but I wake to find I'm dreaming
and I hope to god you need me
the way that I need you
I know I'm falling apart
Don't Go
I feel my days
I wish I could exist
Don't go
I know the way you feel
Don't go
When you look into my eyes
REPEAT CHORUS :
are running away like rain
I'm trying to hold on
even though it's in vain
off and on
every day we change
all and all
love and pain remain
without your love
I wish I wouldn't be
dependent on
don't lie to me
to make it all allright
when your eyes
are telling me good-bye
you're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you so
Don't go
you're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you more than you know
Don't go
won't stay the same
I wish that I could rise
above the pain
on and on
I'll take it day by day
all in all
I make it through the rain
you're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you so
Don't go
you're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you more than you know
you're breaking my heart
Don't go
you tear me apart
Don't go
you're all that I have
Don't go
cause I love you more than you know
can you see the fear I'm holding back
I don't want to let it out cause this
fear is keeping me on track
I just got to let you know
I don't want to see you go away
I won't change
love and pain remains
Alles Ist Gut
