Idols - Matt Ngesa

My desire to remain Is all that I have left as I let go And I don't wanna play this game But I don't have a choice I've been ripped from my home My flesh and bone So I'll scream your name With the only breath I have So I'll scream your name With the only breath I have left My reflection in the glass But I don't recognize what I see Please don't leave me with my past My frailties exposed in my last dance There's one more chance So I'll scream your name With the only breath I have So I'll scream your name With the only breath I have left Will my friends be there to greet me around the bend? Will they know my face, lend their grace as I ascend? And Dylan said at the end Wise men know The dark is right see the birds in flight But they burn and rage Burn at the end of the day in rage Rage, rage against the dying of the light Do not go gentle into that good night So I'll scream your name So I'll scream your name So I'll scream your name So I'll scream your name

Every day that I'm with you Somehow I always find I wish we had forever To chase our dreams together We get lost inside these moments We do it all the time I don't know what I'll do when I'm without you I wish that I could stop Turn the clock back Stay right here right now So hold on to me tight, cross your heart, make this vow I don't know Just where this story goes But through the highs and lows I'll still be who I am because I loved you Near or far You'll reach me where you are 'Cause you're my guiding star And we're still underneath one sky Even in darkness you shine so bright Together we always will win the fight No matter where you are, we'll be there Singing from the stars La la la la la la la la la la la la la I know I'll miss you But I'm learning to let go Don't forget to write me Or be prepared to fight me I think I love you more than You might ever know In a perfect world We would never be apart Look into the sky, make a wish Know that I'm wishing too Wishing for the best of luck for me and you I don't know Just where this story goes But through the highs and lows I'll still be who I am because I loved you Near or far You'll reach me where you are 'Cause you're my guiding star And we're still underneath one sky Even in darkness you shine so bright Together we always will win the fight No matter where you are, we'll be there Singing from the stars La la la la la la la la la la la la la I will always keep close, won't forget that one night We looked up at the stars and waited for the dawn Oh can you feel the tether from your heart to mine We are like heroes, legends in our own right Our story goes, on-and-on and on and on We are a miracle of love and destiny Like galaxies when stars align I don't know Just where this story goes But through the highs and lows I'll still be who I am because I loved you Near or far You'll reach me where you are 'Cause you're my guiding star And we're still underneath one sky Even in darkness you shine so bright Together we always will win the fight No matter where you are, we'll be there Singing from the stars La la la la la la la la la la la la la

We don't have a normal story It's really quite absurd That even with all we've been through I still can't find the words To explain my hesitation To express my fear That when you leave, these feelings might Suddenly disappear And if we ever meet again How will I know it's you? Even in the face of danger I don't wanna goodbye Afraid that I Might lose you without ever knowing why Next time we meet, we might be strangers But I think I'll be okay 'Cause I know somehow, I'll find my way Back to you someday I am trying to remember If I know your name Feels like you and I are players in this Never ending game Of chasing one another Of keeping secrets safe Turning 'round to see who's there with Every move we make And still we never realize And so we turn and keep on going So we spend all our time together Asking "Will you let me in?" "Where have you been?" "Where did this space between us all begin?" We know this can't go on forever Don't you hear the clock ticking down To the day when we both turn around We'll either break or we'll be found We're all the same We play this game It's too much fun to let go So still I hide Right by your side Wondering if I'll ever let you know Even in the face of danger I don't wanna goodbye Afraid that I Might lose you without ever knowing why Next time we meet, we might be strangers But I think I'll be okay 'Cause I know somehow, I'll find my way Back to you someday

Frightening All these voices saying things That I just might be wrong for choosing you Rightly All these voices saying things have never known A perfect two But I'm not leaving here unscarred It's getting deep it's getting hard This feeling sudden and familiar My broken heart I know its nothing new I should not listen to these tunes The only one I care about is you Oh I'm finding problems I definitely do not love that My world is making problems I'm worried I can't solve it no Likely All these voices making choices Forcing you to fill the void with doubts (Doubts) And rightly Most these voices helping to Measure worlds and balance your heart out (Out) But you're not leaving here unscarred It's getting deep it's getting hard The choosing of your hands Are they worthy, you say To hold a heart deemed pure Your losing grip, its hard to look back But babe, what are the plans we made Oh we're finding problems I definitely do not love that Our worlds are making problems How can we solve them Can we solve them ohh Oh Problems Oh Problems I fell in love with your reflective mind Thats why I never judged your doubting side What if is what you asked me a lot of times What if we got it wrong What if we missed our time Or started us ahead of time Well what if we was hitting it off Cause we was where we was And thats all time adorned Thats all the author wrote Thats what the lady sang and she hit the note You struck my chords You played em right I never lied, we never fought Can you tell I'm desperate I'm desperate Why cant you tell Cause my world is making problems Can I solve em Can I solve them All on my own Can I solve them

Sleep has come and sleep has gone Feeling like the sleep I'm on is druggin me And I know cause it's so different(ly) From what I had before Sitting up I hear the songs Remembering the dream alone is fighting me Cause living now is crippling from what it was before Will I still be here when I bail I've been lost in Cirque de sole Wondering if I've died to self But I'll ask if you'll remember me Remember me Remember me Remember when I wanted change I didn't want to hear the same things The basis that I want to frame is Basically someone whose makes it And even with love in the game Even with loving the game Love it enough to change it Want to hear something with passion Something that makes me react to it Something that make me a dancer Gives laughter, an adder And at the end of the day I've learned it Will I still be here when I left (When I've left) Lost in purpose, obsessed (I'm obsessed) Wondering if I've done my best But I'll need you to remember me Need you to remember me Need you to remember me Remember remember Need you to remember me Need you to remember me Remember remember Remember remember Remember, need you to remember Remember remember Remember, need you to remember Remember Remember me Remember me Remember me Remember me
