Dont Die On Me Tonight - Ten Second Epic

You coulda heard a pin drop When they walked through the door Had to turn my eyes away My heart fell to the floor Someone whispered, "Where's her halo?" She had an angel's face He stood there smiling, holding on To the one who took my place So tonight, the heartache's on me, on me Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see Bartender pour the wine 'cause the hurtin's all mine Tonight, the heartache's on me I wonder if he told her She's the best he's ever known The way he told me every night When we were all alone She'll find out when the new wears off He'll find somebody new She'll learn what heartache's all about And what I'm going through But tonight, the heartache's on me, on me, yeah Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see Bartender pour the wine, 'cause the hurtin's all mine Tonight, the heartache's on me But tonight, the heartache's on me, on me, yeah Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see Bartender pour the wine, 'cause the hurtin's all mine Tonight, the heartache's on me Oh yes, tonight, the heartache's on me

Just a minute 'fore you leave, girl Just a minute 'fore you touch the door What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl? Do you think we can talk about it some more? You know, the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know, it's not even safe no more In the palace of the Pope Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be And I need you, yeah Come over here from over there, girl Sit down here, you can have my chair I can't see us goin' anywhere, girl The only place open is a thousand miles away, and I can't take you there I wish that I'd been a doctor Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost Maybe I'd have done some good in the world 'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be And I need you, oh, yeah I ain't too good at conversation, girl So you might not know exactly how I feel But if I could, I'd bring you to the mountaintop, girl And build you a house made out of stainless steel But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting That's hanging in the Louvre My throat start to tickle and my nose itches But I know that I can't move Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's gone but the past lives on Tomorrow's just one step beyond And I need you, oh Who are these people who are walking towards you? Do you know them or will there be a fight? With their humorless smiles so easy to see through Can they tell you what's wrong from what's right? Oh, do you remember St. James Street Where you blew Jackie P's mind? You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet And laid his life on the line Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl No more booby traps and bombs No more decadence and charm No more affection that's misplaced, girl No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants? He looked so baffled and so bewildered When he played and we didn't dance Don't fall apart on me tonight I just don't think that I could handle it Don't fall apart on me tonight Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be And I need you, yeah, you Ah, I need you

I'm not the only one I'm not the only one I know what your thinking Honestly, your carefree Life on weekends is starting to tear us apart Honestly, why can't we Leave the nightlife for the lonely And spend your evening right beside me And when the drinks go down too fast You slow down baby It's time to come clean [Chorus] I'm not the only one I'm not the only one (I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking now) I'm not the only one I'm not the only one (I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking, I know what your thinking now Honestly, think clearly when conscious Feels unconscious And black and white perspective Turns to gray Honestly, sleep soundly but while you Fall asleep I'm leaving So enjoy all the things you're dreaming And when the drinks go down too fast You slow down baby It's time to come clean [Chorus] You hate what you don't know It's just a matter of time for you [Chorus]

Somewhere in the world now you're getting out of bed You're standing on your own feet to shake your sleepy head If you win you take the credit, if you lose you take the blame No one knows where you are and they never will again I can still remember the day you up and left I swear it was a moment I will never forget You said you'd take no prisoners, but that's just what you did You took my heart captive, hope you know that you are missed Welcome to your life, welcome to goodbye You see the big world through small town eyes Welcome to the point, the point of no return Let the past ignite and memories burn I say welcome to wherever you are I can see you in a doorway with the daylight flooding in It must have hid your secrets, I know more than I did then Looking back I should have noticed, there was a longing in your eyes And underneath the surface there's a truth you could not hide All the time we spent together, every night we stayed up late All the looks that I've forgotten and the plans we never made Do you ever wonder about everything you left? Do you question your decisions, do you ever second guess? Welcome to your life, welcome to goodbye You see the big world through small town eyes Welcome to the point, the point of no return Let the past ignite and memories burn I say welcome to wherever you are You are, you are, wherever you are Welcome to your life, welcome to goodbye You see the big world through small town eyes Welcome to the point, the point of no return Let the past ignite and memories burn I say, say Welcome to your life, welcome to goodbye You see the big world through small town eyes Welcome to the point, the point of no return Let the past ignite and memories burn I say, say welcome to wherever you are

You said there's no way the days should feel this short As soon as one ends the other starts You said all day I feel you're playing a part When all you ever want to do was leave a mark Every day, another one wasted Every day you get up and face it Every day is a chance for redemption Every day, every day You said time moves fast but you're still stayin' in park As every chance takes off you don't depart But it's just the defense for all the moments That name and define what we do, well how about you? We're all scared of breaking through Every day, another one wasted Every day you get up and face it Every day is a chance for redemption Every day, every day Every day, another one wasted Every day you get up and face it Every day is a chance for redemption Every day, every day There's gotta be that something more that gets me through the night I'm out of touch, it's obvious, I'm out of place and over this There's gotta be that change that takes my path from wrong to right You said life is way too short as soon as one ends another starts Every day, another one wasted Every day you get up and face it Every day is a chance for redemption Every day, every day Every day, another one wasted Every day you get up and face it Every day is a chance for redemption Every day, a chance for redemption Every day, a chance for redemption Every day, a chance for redemption Every day, a chance for redemption Every day, every day
