Different Kind of Love

Verse 1
You tell me that you love me every day
And you show it to me in every way
You know what I want and need
I can always depend on you

Verse 2
You accept me for who I really am
You would never try to force me to change myself
That's why I put my trust in you
You'd never hurt me intentionally

Verse 3
You show me how to be kind and generous
When I'm feeling sad, you know what to do
To lift my spirits up
You never expect me to be perfect
When I'm with you, I am comfortable

Chorus
You give me a different kind of love
One that gives and expects nothing in return
You give me a different kind of love
One that is unconditional and lasts forever

Time To Say Goodbye

Intro/Outro
All you have to do is say a word that consist of seven letters
I don't think it's very hard
Open your mouth and say goodbye

Verse 1
We were once close
Just like white on rice
But we have grown apart
I knew what you were thinking
And you know what I would say
But now we are clueless
We shouldn't be together anymore

Verse 2
The world won't collapse when I leave your side
Nor will it burn up in flames
It's not my job to ease your fears
You've got to do that on your own
Start to rely on yourself
We just don't see eye to eye anymore

Bridge
We don't really communicate with each other
We only say a few words
We've tried to make things better
But it was too late
All you have to do is say a word that consist of seven letters
I don't think it's very hard
Take a deep breath and open your mouth

Chorus
It's time to say goodbye
There's no reason for you to stay
Don't say "so long" because we'll never see each other again
It's time to say goodbye
There's no reason for you to stay
Try not to cry or stutter
Be strong

Un-Break My Heart

Verse 1
You left me all alone
What am I supposed to do?
You left me without any warning
It seems like you've disappeared without a trace
where have you gone to?
I hear our song and I am flooded with memories of you
I try to fight back the tears
But I lose and they slide down my face
I would give anything just to hold you in my arms again
I would give anything just to see you smile for me again

Verse 2
I'm sad without you
Make me happy by walking back into my life
I know you miss me
So come to me and say you'll love me
For the rest of your life
I can't enjoy life without you
The days are so unkind
The nights are colder
I can't keep warm without your touch

Verse 3
Undo all the hurt I've endured
Since you've been away from me
Uncry all these tears I've cried
Turn back the hands of time
And erase my misery
I need you to always be there for me

Chorus
Un-break my heart
Release me from this pain
Un-break my heart
Please return to me again
Un-break my heart

So Many Ways

Verse 1
There are so many ways to show you that I love you
Let me list some of them for you
I could run a 10k marathon while it rains
It'll be slippery but I'll try real hard not to fall
I could wrestle a lion, tiger or bear
Swim across the widest sea
Eat a bowl full of worms
Fly around the world in a hot-air balloon

Verse 2
I could walk on hot coals to show my love for you
Or even climb the highest mountain
Wear winter clothing during the summer
Break a mirror
Dance for twenty-four hours without stopping
Write you letters professing my love
Live in the Amazon for a week
Sleep on a bed covered with rats

Chorus
But more importantly, I will be your strength when you're weak
I will be your voice when you can't speak
I will be your sight when you can't see
And when you can't hear, I'll listen for you

Take Your Time

Verse 1
You're getting older
And hopefully wiser too
This is the moment when your peers have a big impact on you
You spend a lot of time with them in and out of school
Sometimes they are the only ones you feel closest to
What they say and what they do will ultimately influence you

Verse 2
You've always longed to fit in
And now you have the chance to
You think that all your problems will vanish into thin air
Before the dust completely settles
There will be tough times ahead

Bridge
You might be labelled as a loser
People who say that are not your friends
You're getting older
You've always longed to fit in
This is the moment when your peers have a big impact on you

Chorus
Promise me that you'll listen to what I have to say
Don't go rushing into anything you're not ready to do
There's always going to be pressure
And you will feel like an outcast
But that isn't a reason to give in
Just take your time

You Want It, You Got It

Verse 1
If you want someone to care for you
You don't need to look any further
I am standing right before you
I'll be by your side whenever you need me

Verse 2
If you don't want to be all alone
I will find a way to get to your heart
Then I'll always be with you wherever you go
You can count on me to be your safe haven

Chorus
If there's anything that you want
Ask for it and you will get it
If there's anything that you need
Don't be afraid to talk to me
I'll give you my love

Young Hearts, Broken Dreams

Verse 1
Let me tell you a story about a girl I once knew
She had beautiful hair and a smile that could light up a room
Then one day she decided to venture out on her own
She wanted to make all her dreams come true
She told her family what she intended to do
And she got a response she never expected
They told her that it was a waster of her time and money
She listened to them and never pursued her dream

Verse 2
There was a boy who everybody knew in the neighbourhood
He used to go around and say that he'll be rich and famous
Many people said that it would never happen
They would always tease him every time he went outside
And sometimes they would fight with him by using their fists
Every time that it happened, he would always lose
He started to believe what other people thought of him
He lost all of his self-esteem

Bridge
Maybe they will live their lives with a lot of regret
Maybe they'll still be chasing after their dreams
They're in a position where they could be angry or sad
Lifting their heads up and reaching for the sky is hard

Chorus 1
Her heart was young
Her dream was broken
Her family had spoken

Chorus 2
His heart was young
His dream was broken
The neighbourhood had spoken

Chorus 3
Their hearts were young
Their dreams were broken
Their family and neighbourhood had spoken

Welcome To Our Neighbourhood

Verse 1
Many people think that our neighbourhood
Is filled with guns and drugs
But you don't and we appreciate that
They day that garbage lies all around
They think our water is contaminated
And that we're to blame for the problem
But we gave you a glass of water
And you drank it till the last drop
Because you know you won't die from it

Verse 2
We've got many things to show you
And we're not going to waste your time
That's our promise to you
You will be surprised by what we can offer you
Other people think that we're no good
They don't even know us
We're kind and courteous
They label us as being low-lives
But you don't pay attention to their comments

Bridge
We know that there's rumours about us
And you knew that they're all lies
We thank you for coming

Chorus
Welcome to our neighbourhood
We hope you enjoy your visit
Welcome to our neighbourhood
We're glad to know that you're not afraid of us
Welcome to our neighbourhood

I Can't Sleep

Verse 1
I can't sleep
Even though I've tried
I can't sleep
And I think I know why
I can't get you off of my mind
Even though you're gone
It stills feels like you're here

Verse 2
I'm starting to think that my house is haunted
But I know I won't be scared at all
I will be curious and start to search around
Even though you're gone, it still feels like you're here

Verse 3
Maybe it doesn't exist
And that it's all in my head
Maybe I'm afraid of sleeping with the ghost of you and me
Someone is torturing me
Could it be myself?
Even though you're gone, it still feels like you're here

Verse 4
What do I have to do to fall asleep?
Am I supposed to convince my brain that it's tired?
This isn't healthy for me at all
Even though you're gone, it still feels like you're here

Chorus
I can't live my life without getting any rest
If I hear voices, I'll get out of bed
I'll find out where it's coming from
And try to chase it out of my head
If I see visions, I'll take pictures of them
So I can know if there's something weird going on

Outro
I can't live my life without getting any rest
But what should I do if I can't sleep

Baby, I Don't Care

Verse 1
Baby, I don't care about your life
So stop telling me what happens to you
If you want to talk to somebody
That person isn't me
If you were a CD that was being played
I'd reach for the stop button
I will not hear what you have to say
I will not give you the time of day

Verse 2
I've told you that you're annoying
But you tell me that you're not
I guess you're in denial
You don't want to accept the truth
If you're out of sight, then you'll be out of mind
There's no reason for you to stay
You should leave and never look back

Bridge
Baby, I don't care about you
I never have and I never will

Chorus
Baby, I don't care about you
I don't want to know what you do
Baby, I don't care about you
I never have and I never will
