Everything that I say seems to upset you When I try to tell you of my love Open your eyes don't tear us apart Honey you're already wrong as your stubborn heart Stubborn heart you could be happy Stubborn heart you could be laughing We're like two lonely stars so far apart Honey you're already wrong as your stubborn heart You have turned my lonely heart into a beggar When I tried to kiss you you turned away I'm begging you now to make a new start Honey you're already wrong as your stubborn heart Stubborn heart you could be happy...

Beside you forever I'm thankful each day that you picked me for your own Your love and devotion changed my life beside you I couldn't go on Beside you darling life's one happy dream you've brought a new world to my heart My life was empty before I met you beside you till death do we part [ Steel ] Beside you proudly we'll walk down the isle to start a new world for us two The love we share will grow through the years for this happiness I all owe to you Beside you darling life's one happy dream...

It's a nasty way of living sometimes When my jar ain't holding a single dime But my glass is holding the last thing I wanna do I'm gonna drink every dime I make tonight And I'll die just to get a room It's a bad bad business, this trying to forget you Well, our souls are a little older But you can't tell we learned a thing If there's twelve that got invited, were thirteen We're that last ones to know its over And the first ones to have to beg We're the dog that crawled for miles on broken legs We're the dregs I've pawned everything I've ever owned Just to drive eight hours to this bar-room show And to play these songs and pray for a friendly face It ain't easy acting like it ain't personal And the band asked me not to curse no more So I'll sing all the sad ones, and lean on the mad ones, okay? Well, our souls are a little older But you can't tell we learned a thing If there's twelve that got invited, were thirteen We're that last ones to know its over And the first ones to have to beg We're the dog that crawled for miles on broken legs We're the dregs Now the parking lot is an old ghost-town No evidence anyone has ever been around Except a handful of gravel and a half-pint of something mean So I'll retreat somewhere and cover my wounds And pray to God that the checkout's noon If there's any luck left, it'll be halfway clean Well, our souls are a little older But you can't tell we learned a thing If there's twelve that got invited, were thirteen We're that last ones to know its over And the first ones to have to beg We're the dog that crawled for miles on broken legs We're the dregs We're the dregs We're the dregs We're the dregs

It's a long and lonely road When you are on your own, all by yourself The emptiness that lays deep within your bones To love somebody else Cause when you're gone, lord knows, you'll be gone When you're gone, oh, you'll be gone I am not a stranger to the dark or to the cold I know them well All the pride hidden deep inside my soul Oh, to be somebody else But when I'm gone, lord knows, I'll be gone When I'm gone, oh I'll be

This is not the end It's the start When all that's broken mends All that came apart And I looked into your eyes And I saw fear of hurt, because of me Of both with uncertainty And I looked into your eyes And you lied If you fall, you fall I will never let you go If you fall, you fall I will never let you go (Ooh-ooh-ooh) So you start again Pick up where you stopped You beg to be let in But still refuse to knock And I heard you when you called Oh, I heard you saying Hope in what you cannot see Hope is not some guarantee, no Oh, I heard you when you called Do you hear me? And you fall, you fall But I will never let you go And you fall, you fall But I will never let you go And you fall, you fall But I will never let you go (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Pull this little thread And watch it grow and watch it spread Wider than the dawn Further in and farther on Who could comprehend The path it takes or know its plan? Oh, the mystery of what may come And what shall be Hear the waves crash down As they shape the shore and in their sound Each one lives its life In its own way, in its own time And would you say to them Hold your tongues? Or come not hence? To live a life that's free Is to sing and dance In the melody Now I understand That there are dreams and there are plans And some shall see the light But there are those that will pass by So I've come to hope Though I can't say and I can't know That in the end I'll be With the friends I know And who know me

There's something about the winter's down in Texas Something in the wind that burns my eyes No way that I could keep from being reckless When nothing but a drink can ease my mind Now I've had enough of wanting to be wanted I've had enough of living in despair They say that brighter days will surely find me But I've never seen the sun like I did there So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home Well, in my heart there's two roads that diverge now And I'm sorry I can only travel one But living's only living once you've chosen To stop wasting time wondering what you might've done So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home Oh I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home

Here comes the flood again Watch it fall from the sky Feel it soak through my flesh and my blood Feel it burn in my eyes When I say how much more can I take I know the water's rising up Watch the waves crest and break And though I may not make a sound I fear that I may drown I fear that I may drown Here comes the wind again Cold that cuts to the bone Pack my bags and I'll head out the door Here I am on my own When I say how much more can I stand? I know my walls are falling down I let the rocks who chose the sand And though I know one left to blame Still I cursed your name I cursed your name So now the end What I've been running from Though I've tried I cannot lift my head Oh, what have I become? When I say how much more can I take? I know my time is running short I am broken and I'm breaking Though I've worn myself so thin Coming home again And though I do not know my heart But I know myself into my bones But if my bones should come apart Then I'll have nothing left to give But if you take me in Coming home again And if you take me in Coming home again
