after all you put me through,
you'll think i dispise you,
but in the end,
i wanna thank you
cause you made me that much stronger

Well I thougt I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I , I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joyride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame

After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that
I hold resentment for you
but uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it

Chorus:
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
thanks for making me a fighter

oohoow 4x
ohoew yeah yeah yeah ohoew

Never saw it coming me, all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're going round playin, the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more
uh,uh,It's over
Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now
and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denail
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WON'T- STOP-ME

I am a fighter and I
I ain't going' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
thanks for making me a fighter

You thought I would forget, but I
I remember, yes I remember,
I remember

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
thanks for making me a fighter

Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall,
Young girl its alright,
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly.


When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream,
of a place where nothing's harder than it seems,
No one ever wants to bother to explain,
of the heartache life can bring and what it means.

CHORUS:
When theres no one else look inside yourself,
like your oldest friend just trust the voice within,
then you'll find the strength that will guide your way,
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within.


Young girl don't hide,
you'll never change if you just run away,
young girl just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day,

Now in a world where innocense is quickly claimed,
its so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid,
no one reaches out a hand for you to hold,
when you look outside, look inside to your soul


CHORUS


Life is a journey,
it can take you anywhere where you chose to go,
as long as your learning,
you'll find all you'll ever need to know,
(be strong)
You'll make it
(hold on)
You'll make it
(be strong)
just don't forsake it because
no one can tell you what you can't do
no one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you,


CHORUS

Young girl don't cry I'll be right here when your world starts to fall

Tears are forming in your eyes,
a storm is warning in the skies,
the end of the world it seems,
you bend down and you fall on your knees,
well get back on your feet ,yeah,
don't look away, don't run away,
baby it's only life,
don't lose your faith,don't run away,
it's only life.
you were always playing hard,
never could let down your guard,
you can't win, if you never give in,
to that voice within, saying pick up your chin,
baby let go of it , yeah,
don't look away, don't run away ,
baby, it's only life.
don't lose your faith, don't run away,
baby it's only life.(repeat)
take your hesitance, and your self defense,
leave them behind, it's only life,
don't be so afraid of facing every day,
just take your time, it's only life,
i'll be your stepping stone, don't be so alone,
just hold on tight,it's only life,
oh..don't look away, don't run away,
baby it's only life,
don't lose your faith, don't run away, baby, it's only life (repeat),
it's only life, it's only life,
don't look away...

This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town

Even so, I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me, yeah

So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Somewhere, every body starts there
I'm counting on a small prayer,
Lost in a nightmare
But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears

Everything worth having, oh
Comes with trials worth withstanding

So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Oh, Lift me up

Down and out is overrated
And I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough
No, I would rather rise above

So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Oh, oh, oh, just begun
Lift me up, yeah, oh, oh, oh, yeah, now
Oh, oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up

well im going
downhearted and hoping
im close
to some new beginning
i know
theres a reason for everything
that comes and goes

[chorus:]
but so many people are looking to me
to be strong and to fight
but im just surviving
and i may be weak but im never defeated
and ill keep believing
in clouds with that sweet silver lining

most days
i try
my best to put on a brave face
but inside
my bones are cold and my heart brakes
but all the while
somethings keeping me safe
and alive

[chorus]

and i wont give up like this
i will be given strength
now that ive found it
nothing can take that away

[chorus x2]

Won't be so easy
This time to hurt me
You can try
This time, know baby, there are no tears left here to dry
If you think you can wound me like before
If you think you can do that anymore
Won't get to far, nooo
You can't break a broken heart

So try your best now baby
Try your best to break me
You can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now
I'm immune to you now
You can't break what broke apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

Hurt me before now
Won't hurt no more now
Not this time
You might do better messing with someone else's mind
Cuz you're not gonna break me down again
Your done with doin' me the way you did
It's gone to far, yeah
You can't break a broken heart

So try your best now baby
Try your best to break me
You can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now
I'm immune to you now
You can't break what broke apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

So don't waste your time
Your time has come and gone
What are you here for?
You can't hurt me any more

So try your best now baby
Try your best to break me
You can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now
I'm immune to you now
You can't break what broke apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

So try your best now baby
Try your best to break me
You can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now
I'm immune to you now
You can't break what apart
There's nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

Break a broken heart

ooh ooohh

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you ,
I never strayed too far from the sidewalk
Because of you ,
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you ,
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you ,
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I can not cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you ,
I never strayed too far from the sidewalk
Because of you ,
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you ,
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you ,
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you ,
I never strayed too far from the sidewalk
Because of you ,
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you ,
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you ,
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you ,
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you ,
I am afraid

Because of you...yeah...
Because of you...mmh....

[verse 1]
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But, when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could break away

[chorus]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But, I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away

[verse 2]
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jetplane, far away
And break away

[chorus]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
and I take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away

[bridge]
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
But, gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, break away

[chorus 2]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta
Take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But, I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away

Break away
Break away

I used to be a little bit shy
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my
Emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without you
Explaining what we are

This is gonna sound kind of silly
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes opened
Baby can you tell me what does that mean?
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on

Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't wanna stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance get over you
No no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true, no
Don't let me stop you

A lot of things I can take
Got a high thresh hold for pain
But let's get one thing straight
I'm not down to share you with anyone
If that's not what you're looking for
Nice knowing you but there's the door
Cause I know that I can find someone
Who'll give me what I want

This is gonna sound kind of silly
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on

Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't wanna stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true, no
Don't let me stop you

Even if I end up broken hearted
I won't lie
I don't wanna hear goodbye
But either way I'll be alright

Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't wanna stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true, no
Don't let me stop you

Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't wanna stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No no, don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true, no
Don't let me stop you

What you see's not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkled
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care
You know you did it

Chorus:
I'm gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending, always over
Back and forth, up and down, like a roller coaster
I am breaking that habit today
You know you did it

Chorus:
I'm gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it babe
Take the hit and walk away
Cause I'm gone

Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

What you see's not what you get 2x
You know you did it.
(repeat chorus)
I'm already gone 3x
I'm gone

Maybe no one told you
There is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate
That keeps your secret soul
Do you think that there’s enough you might drown

If no one will listen If you decide to speak
If no one’s left standing after the bombs explode.
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I'll be here still.

No one can tell you
where you alone must go
there’s no telling what you will find there.
And god I know the fear
eats away at your bones
Screaming every step “ just stay here”

If no one will listen If you decide to speak
If no one’s left, standing after the bombs explode.
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I'll be here still.

If you find your fist are raw
and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find that you’ve been settling
For a world of grey
So you wouldn’t have to face down your own hate.

If no one will listen If you decide to speak
If no one’s left standing after the bombs explode.
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I'll be here still.
If no one will listen If you decide to speak
If no one’s left standing after the bombs explode.
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I'll be here still.
I'll be here still

The only one who took you in
The only one who held your hand
Defended you against the others
Had your back on everything
Never let you down
You turned around betrayed your only brother
Forgetting me, you took things in your hands and left me out
After we'd been through so much, how could you let me down?

I didn't know, I didn't know
I couldn't see, I couldn't see
Never thought you'd forget me
Couldn't believe, couldn't believe
How you deceived, you deceived
I never thought you'd do that to me

I will never be like you
I'll never do the things you do
Selfish and lonely, what's your problem
Letting go of you and this
Is harder than I thought but I will not be poisoned by your actions
Forgetting me, you took things in your hands and left me out
After we'd been through so much, how could you let me down?

I didn't know, i didn't know
I couldn't see, I couldn't see
Never thought you'd forget me
Couldn't believe, couldn't believe
How you deceived, you deceived
I never that you'd do that to me

Forgetting me, you took things in your hands and left me out
After we'd been through so much, how could you left me down?
Down, you let me down

Here's the thing we started off friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since you've Been Gone

You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since you've Been Gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But Since youve Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin' on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since you've Been Gone

How can I put it? you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah yeah
Since you've Been Gone

How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way

But Since youve Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin' on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
I get what I want
Since you've Been Gone

You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

Since youve Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get
I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time

That I get

Since youve Been Gone
Since youve Been Gone
Since youve Been Gone

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella

Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can run into my arms
It's OK don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other

It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to me
It's raining
Oh baby it's raining!

I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
I wanna let you walk away tonight without a word

I try to sleep, yeah
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling
OOoh, if you were here right now,
I swear I'd tell you this

[Chorus:]
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable

I climb the walls, yeah
I can see the edge,
But I can't take the fall, no
I've memorized the number
So why can't I make the call
Maybe cause I know you'll always be with me
In the possibility

[Chorus]

No, no, no

I don't wanna be like this
I just wanna let you know
That everything I hold in
Is everything I can't let go (oooh, can't let go)

Cause BABAYYYYY

[Chorus]

Don't you know it baby
I don't wanna waste another day
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh, I'm inconsolable
Whoaa yeah
I'm inconsolable

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin’ my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There´s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

You can´t give up!
Lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
You never know but when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.


Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.
