everything changes

EVERYTHING CHANGES: 1993

EVERYTHING CHANGES

Girl, come on over here, Let me hold you for a little while

And remember I’ll always love you forever more, Everything changes but you

We’ve said goodbye, the taxi cab is waiting

Now don’t you cry, just one more kiss before I have to go

Hey girl I know the situation changed

And so much is new but

Something in my life remains the same ‘cos

Refrain

Everything changes but you

We’re a thousand miles apart but you know I love you

Everything changes but you

You know that every single day I’ll be thinking about you

The rumour is true, you know that there have been others

What can I do, I tell you baby they don’t mean a thing

Now girl don’t go and throw our love away

I’ll be home soon

Back in your arms to hear you say that

Refrain

Though everything changes around us (baby don’t you cry)

We will be the same as before forever more

PRAY

When the time drew near for me to show my love,

The longer I stayed away for

Hiding from a word I need to hear now, Don’t think I’ll hear it again

But the nights were always warm with you,

Holding you right by my side (right by my side)

But the morning always comes too soon

Before I even close my eyes

All I do each night is pray

Hoping that I’ll be a part of you again some day

All I do each night is think

Of all the times I closed the door to keep my love within

If you can’t forgive the past I’ll understand that,

Can’t understand why I did this to you

And all of the days and then nights I’ll regret it,

I never showed you my love

But the nights were always warm with you, Holding you right by my side

But the morning always comes too soon, Before I even close my eyes

Refrain

Surely we must be in sight of the dream we long to live

If you stop and close your eyes you’ll picture me inside

I’m so cold and all alone, straight on back to me

WASTING MY TIME

Wasting My Time

You’ve maybe seen me walk behind you

I follow you just everywhere you go

I’ve heard a whisper, they’re telling me you’ve missed her

I know you’re loving someone else instead of loving me

So I’ve been wasting my time, running after you girl

Wasting my time, still I feel a sense of love

Never be mine, you’re someone else’s lady

Always on my mind, that I could steal your love away

 

Even now I know it doesn’t change me

Maybe some day you’ll be free again

Till then remember babe

I won’t surrender, still hurts me when

I know you’re loving someone else instead of loving me

So I’ve been wasting my time, running after you girl

Wasting my time, still I feel a sense of love

Never be mine, you’re someone else’s lady

Always on my mind, that I would steal your love away

You said that you’ve been missing me,

But how can that be girl, how can that be girl.

Now all our plans that used to be are passing us by

You say I wanna be free.

RELIGHT MY FIRE

Help me escape this feelin’ of insecurity

I need you so much but I don’t think you really need me

But if we all stand up in the name of love

And state the case of what we’re dreamin’ of

I’ve got to say I only dream of you

But like a thief in the night

You took away the love that I knew

Relight my fire, Your love is my only desire

Relight my fire, Cos I need your love

Turn back the times ’til the days when our love was new

Do you remember?

No matter what was happenin’ I was there with you

But if we all stand up for what we believe

And maybe live within our possibilities

The world would be wild for the dream

So baby don’t turn away

Listen to what I gotta say

Refrain 2x

You gotta be sure enough to walk on through the night (yeah)

There’s a new day on the other side (yeah)

‘Cos I got hope (hope) in my soul

I keep on walkin’, keep on walkin’ baby

Refrain

LOVE AIN’T HERE ANYMORE

Baby, don’t you want me to go

So honey, why don’t you beg me to stay for love

And talk the way we used to talk

Till we both know what we’ve lost

Never say the words we did before

When it was over

Love ain’t here anymore

Love ain’t here anymore

It’s gone away, to a town called yesterday

Love ain’t here anymore

Listen, oh listen, I don’t wanna let go

So maybe we can change the way we feel for love

And open up the way we did before

Now is the right time and I’m sure

You’d never said the words you did before

Until you knew it was over

Refrain

And when I find a place for me to keep my sweet love

Then I will leave it there forever more

And when I find someone to share, I’ll never give up

I will hold and believe that this life leads to more

 

IF THIS IS LOVE

You came to me baby and

I thought that I saw love in your eyes

But all the promises you made were not to be

I should have seen through your disguise

Oooh no baby you know you always tried to make me look the fool

What’s goin’ on you used to be so good to me

Now what is wrong

Tell me why you wanna hurt me

Is this the way that love has got to be

Now baby I can’t take it

If this is love then love’s not meant for me

Not meant for me (oooh if this is love)

What has happened to you lately

I don’t sense that lovin’ feelin’ anymore

Every time you bring me down I wanna cry

Do you wanna see me walkin’ out that door

Refrain

No baby you know you’re always tryin’ to make me look the fool

Won’t you tell me why you wanna hurt me

Is this the way that love has got to be

No baby I can’t take it

If this is love then love’s not meant for me

WHATEVER YOU DO TO ME

I’m mad at you, because of all the things you do

I want you to see, the way your games are hurting me

So why did I ever fall in love with you

You’re all of my nightmares and dreams come true

What can I do to make you talk this problem through

You said you’ve nothing to hide so, Let me hear your feelings inside

I never dreamed that I’d see this kind of thing in my life

So baby, please let me go, let me go

Whatever you do to me somebody else will do to you

However you break my heart somebody else will break yours too

All I can see are strary eyes of mystery,

I’ve tried to look behind, Before you take my dignity and pride

We sit and talk all night, Still you never seem to lose your height

You believe in yourself, I hope I’m never gonna need your help

Refrain

You don’t want me, you don’t need me

I got news now cause babe I don’t need you too

You don’t want me, you don’t need me

So careful how you move cause baby I’m watching you

Refrain

MEANING OF LOVE

Deceit and lies is all I’ve taken

Let me surface to breathe

No sacrifice, no inspiration

Can you understand me?

Why should I ask you, why should I worry?

You never worry about me

Why should I need you, why don’t I let you go?

And let me heartaches run free.

I thought I knew the meaning of love

Now I’m asking you why

I thought I knew the meaning of love

Now open wide

What’s on my mind, so many questions

Though the answers I can guess

You slip away, shelter from confrontation

Look my life is such a mess (Bridge)

I thought I knew the meaning of love

Now I’m asking you why

I thought I knew the meaning of love

Now open wide

WHY CAN’T I WAKE UP WITH YOU

Can’t decide if I should read or think

I’ll keep an open mind, ’til the day sets in

Hear you thinking. Hope you hear me thinking too.

Why can’t I wake up with you

So you’re there when I open my eyes

Baby why can’t I wake up with you. You’re my life.

Feel alive, so I’ll just begin

To rest my mind, before you ring me

Hear you call me, I’m so willing to call back

Hear you thinking. Hope you hear me thinking too.

 

Why can’t I wake up with you

So you’re there when I open my eyes

Baby why can’t I wake up with you. You’re my life.

So good to be near you.

So dark when you walk from my side

Baby why can’t I wake up with you.

You’re my life, you’re my life

YOU ARE THE ONE

You hurt my mind, you hurt my soul

Never believing what I’m saying

I’ll hunt you down, I’ll make you mine

You’ll be the game I’ve started playing

And if you won’t be there I will know where you’re going

And if you won’t be there I’ll try every way of showing you that

 

You are the one, you are the one, the one for me

You are the one, you are the one, the one I need

You understand, you realise the scene that I’m creating

And all the while you compromise on the liberties I’m taking

If you don’t believe I want just you and I together

Then you won’t believe the dream of you and I forever because

You are the one, you are the one, the one for me

You are the one, you are the one, the one I need

ANOTHER CRACK IN MY HEART

I am just one man with just one pair of eyes

I dress in normal clothes and I don’t try to disguise

I’m looking out for love, however it may seem

I never do return in the always winning team

Maybe I should try to live alone

Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown

Maybe I should run and hide away until another day

Another crack in my heart, another picture on the wall

Another way to spend an evening when there’s no one there at all

Another kiss to say goodbye, another cross upon a chart

Another suitcase at the door, another crack in my heart

 

I had my spills and thrills of love and held it in my hand

I held on tight until it broke and I crashed to the ground

Love cannot be on my side, it’s clearer every day

That every time I reach for love it always runs away

Maybe I should try to live alone

Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown

Maybe I should run and hide away until another day

Another crack in my heart, another picture on the wall

Another way to spend an evening when there’s no one there at all

Another kiss to say goodbye, another cross upon a chart

Another suitcase at the door, another crack in my heart

BROKEN YOUR HEART

It’s good to be near you, even though I’m alone

Reviving memories of our happy home

No sign of the sunlight since you ran away

These rooms get darker now every day

Even though I have broken, even though I have broken your heart

Will you still love me, will you still love me?

The consequences of freedom

But now you have what you dreamed

Just understand that things are not as they seem

Even though I have broken, even though I have broken your heart

Will you still love me, will you still love me?

I don’t wanna be lonely because you’re not there for me to love

I don’t wanna be lonely I wanna be loved

Even though I have broken, even though I have broken your heart

Will you still love me?

BABE

I come to your door to see you again

But where you once stood was an old man instead

I asked where you’d be, He said « She’s moved on you see

All I have is a number, you’d better ask her not me »

So I picked up the phone and dialed your number

Not sure to put it down or speak

Then a voice I once knew answered, In a sweet voice she said « hello »

Then paused before I began to speak

Babe, I’m here again, I tell you I’m here again, Where have you been?

Babe, I’m back again, I tell you I’m back again, Where have you been?

You held your voice well, there were tears I could tell

But where were you now? Were you gonna tell me in time?

Just give me a town and I’ll be straight down

Got so much to tell you about where I have been

As I walk down your road, can’t wait to be near you. Can’t keep the feeling in inside

As I stand at your door you answer, In a sweet voice you say « hello »

Then pause before I begin to speak

Refrain

As I looked away I saw a face behind you, A little boy stood at your door

And as I looked again I saw his face was shining, He had my eyes, he had my smile

Refrain
