BAD FOR BUSINESS And I walk alone In this tonight I look to my right but No one’s there I hope that one day soon You’ll be with me Wanting and waiting Never can I see See, what’s on the other side Waiting for me, oh me. Oh be with my heart No matter how much I want you to stay It’s a life of solitude that I must pay The price of an artist The price of my dreams Cause me to be so unhappy Guess I’m not meant to be with you now But I will wait here for you I don’t know how How, how we could just forget I don’t know now oh now Now I play instead A summer built up so high It was one of the best That’s the least that I could say You weren’t like the rest So please hold me tight And say we wont fight Cause our days are numbered Before you take flight Flight, oh flight Before you take flight, oh flight oh To the other side of town To the other side of town I hope that one day soon I’ll be here for-ever and yours alone Never to go, go, go Never to go oh never to go And there you go And there you go

EVEN WHEN I’M WITH YOU And Even when I’m with her Feels like I’m not even here Cause I believe I’ll never Feel the way she feels Girl’s come and go like the sun And we never know where to run I know when I see your face I’m meant to be in this place The east coast clouds are blocking You from the stars And I know your watching Even when you’re far And I know you’re walking With your goals set so high I’ll be here to catch you When you try to say goodbye When you try to say goodbye When you try to say goodbye oh And I wont let you leave me Even if you must Cause I’ll be there just trust me To show you why we lust For the next heart throb Or maybe the next kiss Or? While I lay here wishing You were here for this You may not know it right now But it’s why we love Choose between one or the other Is what makes us rise above Makes us rise above Over clouds and your love What Makes us rise above, oh, oh, oh, oh

IT HURT TO BE HARD And all I asked was for a taste of love But that was taken from me Given to another Guess I really don’t deserve What everyone else has Just my own world I didn’t know how to decide If I should work for my life Never love anyone Besides my work and my fun Never sharing my life With anyone from my nights I told you everything Everything you wanted to hear I told you everything To make you feel so dear I told you everything Everything you wanted to hear I told you everything To make you feel so dear And then you came into my life At the most unexpected time I didn’t see you coming But I’m glad you did And now I’m with you loving Just like we were kids And even though we know the end It’s like I don’t even care And I’ll continue loving Even when you don’t Cause it is worth it for me To feel love I haven’t had ---Break--- Entrusting you with my heart To feel like I have restart And now I’m able to love You the world my dove And now I really don’t really deserve The love your giving me hurts And I’ll continue loving Even when your gone and Busy with your studies Forgetting all that we had You told me everything Everything I needed to hear You told me everything To make me feel so near Repeat You told me everything You told me everything You told me everything And all I’ll asked was for a taste of love And how I got you is unknown Guess I really do deserve More than just these words

And that days gonna come when you lose who you love When you must face the fact that you’ll never get them back They were there at the start you’ll be there at their end No there’s nothing you can do no there’s nothing you can send And you’ll cry for days It won’t ever explain Where the pain you have Is coming from And you’ll cry some more And you’ll tend to ignore That feeling inside Girl you’ve got to realize And you’ll think of the nights where all we did was fight You’ll look back and you’ll see they did nothing to me You wont know what you had Until it’s gone, until its gone Until it’s gone And you’ll cry for days It won’t ever explain Where the pain you have Is coming from And you’ll cry some more And you’ll tend to ignore That feeling inside Girl you’ve got to realize And you’ll cry for days It won’t ever explain Where the pain you have Is coming from And you’ll cry some more And you’ll tend to ignore That feeling inside Girl you’ve got to realize

MAN VS. MACHINE I didn’t know your father I didn’t know he cared I should’ve tried harder To help you understand Oooh oooh ooh And then I guess I was wrong I hope I wait too long Cause in the middle of the night I hope you will see light And you’re the girl with the record How could I forget her? And through this black veil I watch the ships set sail Mother I know your watching With a keen eye And a judging mind With My emotions They’ll just confuse you and I The worst is over But now I don’t even know why Why? And then I guess I was wrong I hope I wait too long Cause in the middle of the night I hope you will see light And you’re the girl with the record How could I forget her? And through this black veil I watch the ships set sail Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh Man vs machine Man vs machine (man vs. machine) I hope she’ll come clean Black sails are all I see From all around me Man vs machine (man vs machine) I hope she’ll come clean Black sails are all I see From all around me (all around me) And I guess I was wrong I hope I wait too long Cause in the middle of the night I hope you will see light And you’re the girl with the record How could I forget her? And through this black veil I watch the ships set sail Oooh, oooh, ooh…

Candle Light 03:42
CANDLE LIGHT I came and saw Your angel heart I don’t know how You came and found To be my own To be my home I can’t shine fine When my candle dies The wind will blow back far So won’t conquer my stars And when it falls out the sky My candle light dies Candle light dies The flame burns strong But I can’t wait long As I make my life Better by night And I see the stars Begin to paint my walls To be alone In that delicate tone The world will hold me back from My freedom my fun And when I look at you lie My candle light dies My candle light dies In the darkness We learn to live As I make my way Down between your legs
