Lonely Lover

You can fall, you can run

But love's gonna find you

You can put up a fight, not believe anyone

But love's gonna find you...

Chorus:

When it's right, you'll know

When it's real, it's gonna show

There will be, a lot of crumbled roses

There will be, seas filled with tears

You've got to have faith, because heaven's watching out for you

Don't give up, don't lose hope

Because when it's right, you'll surely know.

You may lose yourself along the way,

You just have to pick up the pieces,

It'll be a brighter day.

Bridge:

Hold on to your hear, lonely lover

Don't be afraid, to give it to another

Just recognize, what you really need

Don't sell out, you'll find your peace, eventually.

Chorus

Bridge

Hold on to your heart, lonely lover

Hold on to your heart--

Hold on to your heart, lonely lover.

Only You

You never stopped to think

That she could be the one.

Well, maybe you did, for a blink

Of a second. A heartbeat.

But you still kept talking to everyone

About your search, what you want.

Instead of staying awhile,

And getting to know every inch of her

Not just every inch of skin that your touches

Cause to vibrate from memories and sighs

But the soul’s mind-heart, that has grown

And altered. Instead of looking

You should be knowing. The woman

Before your eyes, that is always put to the side.

Don’t say the word love lightly.

Don’t say you wish and you want

If it will soon fall empty. Feeding lines

To a jaded heart, will eventually

Make that one numb. You keep hunting

And she’ll shut down. Chances have been given,

Only you can help the us now.

Slip Away

That’s it.

I’m done.

Us?

You’re gone.

I don’t believe the three words:

I love you.

Let’s not.

Gave you chances,

Let my feelings show,

Yeah, I was wrong

Once more.

Like the devil

You pulled me

Time

And again.

Seasons change

Just like them,

You come and go.

Give me words

And kindness…

I don’t know the truth

Of if you’re here or there.

You don’t know how to stay.

Stay? Is that a reality?

Nay.

I’ll believe it when you act.

Come in and remain,

Or else…I’ll slip away.

Train's Comin' In

Bridge:

Train’s comin’ in,

It’s my time, to get on it.

Got my past, in my bag

My dreams in my chest pocket.

Take me away, take me home

Take me to, where I belong.

Sun’s coming up and I’m taking chances

It’s my turn for no backward glances.

Chorus:

Hear that whistle, hear that moan

Got my heart, got my soul.

Faith and freedom keep me strong,

Love is what’s right and wrong.

Take me away, take me home

Take me to, where I belong.

Sinners and saints, they’ve got their places

I’m gonna bet all my aces.

Chorus

Take me away, take me home

Take me to, where I belong.

Heaven and Hell’s had a word with me,

My sanctuary is my humanity.

Chorus

Take me away, take me home

Take me to, where I belong.

Got my ticket in my hand,

It’s my life, my right to stand.

Bridge

Won't Go Back

Last year, I probably would’ve said yes.

Take you back even if it couldn’t work.

Deal out multiple second chances.

So I could always hold onto you.

Chorus:

But now, you wouldn’t know me

I’m no longer the same

And I’m not going back to who I was,

And even though a piece of me

Still loves you like an everlasting flame,

I won’t go back, no I ain’t going back.

Press rewind and take in all the memories,

Nostalgia’s a bitch, don’t I know it.

Hear people talking about hurt and pain,

And all of them think staying and returning is going to be worth it.

Chorus

Don’t come crawling to me,

I won’t care if you bring me flowers, begging on your knees.

You may think my heart’s grown cold,

Truth is, I just did what I had to, became stronger.

Chorus

I won’t go back to me and you.

Not Gonna

I don’t hear you.

I don’t see you.

And then there you are;

I’m not gonna hide.

Coming in, you want to fix things,

But there’s not much that you can do,

After you smashed my heart like broken glass.

Chorus:

There’s no fixing to what you broke before.

There’s no changing back after all this hurt.

I’m not the one that made you my world.

I can’t let you in, I’m done giving chances.

Some of my friends,

All agree, you’ve downgraded.

What does the other have to offer

When I gave you everything?

People have it in their heads,

That I’m gonna take you back,

But I’m smarter than that.

Chorus

Chorus

Winning and Losing Game

Ally once knew boy

Who was her first love,

He taught her how to kiss

And to keep on wishing—

He knew she deserved better than him,

So he let her go.

Chorus:

Now she’s got two weeks until she’s twenty,

And she’s already loved,

She’s already lost…

She knows that loving is a winning and losing game,

But she’s done letting time tell her,

Her heart’s score.

Ally went on to college,

Finally had her heartstring by the hand,

She gave him everything she could in friendship

But she wanted more of the man,

Unfortunately he couldn’t meet her demands

And left her feeling low.

Chorus

Ally’s taking chances,

Not letting men decide her fate.

She’s flipping coins and letting the coins fall

Not paying attention to what others say.

If fate’s going to intervene she thinks,

Then the right man will come her way.

Chorus

And she’s already loved,

She’s already lost…

She knows that loving is a winning and losing game,

But she’s done letting time tell her,

Her heart’s score;

And Ally’s not going to let it be sore no more.

She knows that loving is a winning and losing game,

And her heart’s not going to be sore no more.
