Tip Of My Tongue There’s no point in settling the score ‘Cause you knock me down and I beg for more Like an addict, struggling to break free You tighten your grip on me And I am six months clean, trying to stay that way If you’d just let me Oh, what are you running from Oh, what are you running to Hide and seek yourself away from me I’ll be blind to this empty shell of you You tread the fine line Omitted truths, your sweet little lies You have preyed upon my sympathies, Manipulated reality Tell me, what is your motivation Can you rationalize what you have done Oh, what are you running from Oh, what are you running to Hide and seek yourself away from me I’ll be blind to this empty shell of you What I would like to say to you is on the tip of my tongue Words for her form on the tip of my tongue But I will never say to you what is on the tip of my tongue Oh, what are you running from Oh, what are you running to Hide and seek yourself away from me I’ll be blind to this empty shell of you

Waiting 04:46
Waiting It’s the empty right side of the bed And the pictures that I can’t bear to take down It’s the song that I can’t get out of my head I am waiting for you to come around It’s your mail that comes to where you don’t call home And the two car garage with just the one It’s the way my heart pounds at the phone I am waiting on a hope that doesn’t come These days are haunted by these ghosts An aching phantom pain I don’t know what to do with these holes I am waiting for you to fade I am waiting for you to fade I am praying for you to fade It is how you expect me to be okay The re-written history that I don’t know It’s the dent on my finger where my ring laid I am waiting to be alone These days are haunted by these ghosts An aching phantom pain I don’t know what to do with these holes I am waiting for you to fade I am waiting for you to fade I am praying for you to fade Did you get what you wanted (Maybe I don’t want to know) Did it go like you thought it would (Maybe I don’t want to know) These days are haunted by these ghosts An aching phantom pain I don’t know what to do with these holes I am waiting for you to fade I am waiting for you to fade I am praying for you to fade

Save You 03:33
Save You I’ve been thinking of your prophecy All those years back I’m overwhelmed by your hypocrisy What do you do to fill the gaps Who’s gonna save you now Who’s gonna praise you now Who’s gonna save you now I never needed you to stand with me I’m doing fine here by myself Still could’ve been nice to have the company Guess you were busy someplace else Who’s gonna save you now Who’s gonna praise you now Who’s gonna save you You’re so busy with your rules You can’t ever see beyond You hear the beep beep beep of the alarm But then you miss the waking of the dawn If one day you find that life has led you Down an unexpected path Maybe you’ll learn a different kind of lesson About what love could bring you back Who’s gonna save you now Who’s gonna praise you now Who’s gonna save you now Who’s gonna save you now

The Last Time This is the last song that I will write about you This is the last tear that I will cry for you This is the last time that I will worry for you No more sleep will I lose over losing you Seasons change and I remain Steady as a rock What have I got This is goodbye The final lie This is the last breath that I will catch missing you This is the last beat my heart will sound for you These are the last words that I will heed from you No more will I feel what I have felt for you Seasons change and I remain Steady as a rock What have I got This is goodbye The final lie ‘Cause I am not worthless, you are not worth this No matter what you say about me I am not worthless, you are not worth this You’re not worth what I have done to myself ‘Cause I am not worthless, you are not worth this You are not my problem anymore Seasons change, I move away Free of the weight I couldn’t take This is goodbye The final lie

I Still Believe I can feel that a change is coming The tiniest shift in the way the wind’s blowing March in Detroit when the ground is still frozen And I can smell spring in the warmth of the sun I think I’m ready to finally say goodbye Maybe I’m a fool to believe But I still believe in love ‘Cause I need to believe in a love That never leaves Yes, I need to believe in a love That never leaves I am living in the past and the future No such thing as present tense Time’s as fluid as the ocean Current pushing me with each breath Breathe in and the moment is gone Breathe out as you beg for another one Maybe I’m a fool to believe But I still believe in love ‘Cause I need to believe in a love That never leaves Yes, I need to believe in a love That never leaves And I know it takes more than hard-earned faith To move me onward to a better place How much more would you ask me to take What of mercy And what about grace ‘Cause I need to believe in a love That never leaves (What of mercy, what about grace) Yes, I need to believe in a love That never leaves (I’m begging for mercy, I’m begging for grace)
