Lost Melody

Such a sweet melody
That my mother sang when I was just a babe
But now the melody is gone and it's been years since I looked in her eyes
Seems like yesterday she was next to me but I was never good with goodbyes
Such a sweet song she sang for me
And though the melody's forgotten, the beauty of her voice held true
I still recall her face
I think about her every day
And though she's gone, her love lives on inside of me
Inside of me
Such a sweet melody
That my mother sang when I was just a little babe
I still recall her face
I think about her every day
And though she's gone, her love lives on inside of me
And though she's gone, her love lives on inside of me
Inside of me

City Lights

All these winter days, keeping me inside
Blinded by the city lights and days gone by
Seemed like yesterday was never too far
So unexpectedly, you walked into my arms
I've been living a lie, don't it seem?
But what are lies to love if you don't know what they mean?
Don't it seem strange enough, now that you're gone?
Keeping me up, I don't know if I can be that strong
I've been chasing the light
Fearing the night, scared of my own dreams
I've been fooling myself
Looking for love when I don't know what it means
So give me those winter nights
Give me those lonely times
And maybe then, we'll meet again
Under those city lights

Lean On Someone Else

I've been waiting for you on the other side
But you never did give me a break
I've been shouting your name in the morning light
Something tells me that that's a mistake
Am I wrong to think I suffered?
Am I wrong if you agree?
So lean on someone else
Cause clearly you don't need me
So pack your bags cause you're leaving tonight
Now you'll see what kind of man I can be
Now you'll see what kind of man I can be
I've been looking into the mirror
Saying, “who is this man that I see?”
Now he's looking a little bit older
I still don't believe that he's me
Is he wrong to think he's suffered
Is he wrong if I disagree
So lean on someone else
Cause clearly you don't need me
So pack your bags cause you're leaving tonight
Now you'll see what kind of man I can be
Now you see what kind of man I can be
I'm not trying to be funny
That's not exactly my kind of game
I'm not scared to say “you gotta be on your way”
But if I knock on the door and see you crying on the floor
Well this is what I'll say
Oh these will be the words I say
Lean on someone else
Cause clearly you don't need me
So walk out that door
Don't come back no more
Now you see what kind of man I can be
Now you see you weren't meant for me

Don't You Know Them?

She was standing on the corner with her trench coat
He was driving down the street with his headlights out
Then he thought he caught her smiling at him
Down and out and then he turned his car around
By the time she got next to him
Blood was on the floor and the money was gone
And it always stays the same
All that changes are the faces and the names
Don't you know them?
Always hiding our faces in shame
Never thought to look at the man in the mirror
Do you think he was to blame?
Midnight, starting his day job
Never thought things would get so low
Flippin' rock on his spot on the west side
Make a dime on a poor man's little high
Face down in a pool of his own blood
Another dime on someone else's life
Just as soon as his name hit the headlines
She was walking out the door with the baby in her arms
Saying, “Better or for worse, life will go on for you anyway”
And it always stays the same
All that changes are the faces and the names
Don't you know them?
Always hiding our faces in shame
Never thought to look at the man in the mirror
Do you think he was to blame?
And I hope that this time
Will be the last time I see myself as the enemy
And first time I realize my place in this life
