Track Name: I Need You
It was all so perfect, walking on water, holding onto you
i knew the day would come when I'd try to do it on my own
And I'd fail, cos in my own strength nothing is possible
and I'd sink, and flap helplessly crying out to you

I need you to rescue me, I need you to pull me out
I need you to save me now before I drown in myself, get me out

I was almost winning, fighting a war, fighting a war for you
I knew the day would come where the enemy found strength
And I fall, because I left my best man standing at the side
And I die, because I didn't let Jesus fight this fight

It's all very well living on cloud nine but one day that cloud will burst
It's all very well, going to heaven but you need to find God first
It's all very well, pretending it's ok, when you are sat in church
It's all very well, It's all very well
Track Name: Make You Smile
There’s a girl, standing at the corner
Pouring out her soul
To a world that mistreats her

She’s just a girl, with an aspiration
Waiting for a chance
To escape the life she leads

She’s trapped inside, a one track lifestyle
Kept and controlled by men who just don’t care
She wants a chance, to fill her dreams
She doesn’t know how she’ll get there

I just wanna make you smile, I wanna take this life style, Away from you
I wish that I could make you well, get you off this path to hell
I just wanna make things better
I just wanna make you smile

I see this girl, standing there so helpless
Bruised, broken and hurt
Waiting for someone to save her


She’s still a girl, dreaming of a future
With a nice young man
Who will come and marry her

He’ll take her pain, he’ll make her better
He will love, cherish and care
She wants a chance, for him to meet her
She doesn’t know how he’ll get there

And I will pay you for the night
I’ll pay to make things right
Take you to a nice hotel
Dress you up, feed you well
And I will treat you like a queen
Help you out of your bad dream
Why don’t you stay with me a while
Whilst I try and make you smile
Track Name: All Fake & Just So Selfish
I don't understand what your agenda is
you're being selfish and just don't give a flip
about us I see straight through your speech
it's kinda sad that you boiled down to this

emotional blackmail is your game
you don't see we won't let it be the same
we won't lie down and take it like you did
why don't you just get over it


We don't care, about your speech
it's all fake and just so selfish

Can't you see that you just crossed the line
dirty tactics never will be fine
they went wrong because your acting was saw through
you just lost, any respect for you

You never listen, you don't even try
you always seem to think you're right
can't step down as anger rises
I don't care how wide your eyes get
We stand up, we know what's right
See the regret inside your eyes
as we do what you wish you'd done
just admit that you are wrong
Track Name: Station Girl
Hey station girl, over there, you look so pretty with the snow in your hair
and with that piercing on your lip which was cut by your boyfriend
who left you for a blonde on the 5th

he never cared about you

Hey station girl, over there, you look so pretty with you're red dyed brown hair
and your cheeks, reflect the cold, and you're heartbroken smile is telling me
your heartbreak is old...

they never care about you

You're the one who's going under
feeling down and he's just up and gone
just like the guys that have come before him
you sit and wonder what went wrong
they never care about you

You're sick of being broken
You're tired of being ripped in two
Fed up with all of these guys
content on hurting you
they never care about you
Track Name: It's Not Right
You changed your status on facebook to say
you're in a relationship from this time today
and I hope, it doesn't last that long
They'll be people out there saying that is so harsh
I don't really love you I just like your arse
so I'll say, it's just the way it is

Cos we all have someone we don't want to grow up, get married have kids
we all have someone we have a little crush on, we just never admit
All of our days, we just sit in a daze as we ponder the phrase 'what if?'
we think all our lives, and we don't sleep at night, yet we know deep inside,
that it's not right

You changed your status to say you're engaged
I'm sorry to say I didn't want things that way
and I hope, he breaks it off real soon

They'll be people out there saying that is so cruel
and I should want you happy if I loved you at all
so I'll say, it's just the way it is

your wedding invitation came
I hope that it pours with rain
thunder on your wedding day
I'm sorry that I'm thinking like that

I'll always have that one regret
that our lips they never met
I just guess we're incompatible



I guess I'll always wonder why
there was never you and I
I'll hold this secret till I die
of you.....
Track Name: Summer Of 2005
I know that you don't love me
You probably never will
I know you'll break my heart each time we talk

I know you've got my number
your best friend told me so
I know I'll see you backstage at the show

I wanna go back to the summer of 2005
I know you'll fall for me, this second try
I wanna go back to the summer of 2005
I know we'll fall in love this time

You never meant to hurt me
and push the knife right in
when you broke my heart at his 18th

You didn't make me angry
you made me want to cry
but I couldn't bring a tear to my eye
Track Name: Marry Me
If I had one final breath I’d use it now to say to you
That I love you and if I could I would spend my days with you
You brighten my darkest days you make me feel like I’m alive
I’m so grateful for all of you, I’m so glad you’re in my life

Just stay, please marry me today,
I don’t care that we’re so young please notice
that I love you more and more each day
Just stay, please marry me today,
I don’t care that we’re so young please notice
that I love you more and more each day

If I had one final day I’d like to spend it all with you
We’d go somewhere in the country, I’d just lay and gaze at you
I don’t want to think of life without you right there by my side
We’ll go travelling, go together, we’ll make it through bumpy rides
Track Name: Escape This Town
disconnected with my surrounds
wanting to get out of this place
fed up with the same scenes and pictures
fed up with all the same old faces...

I want something new with you....

Escape this town, move on out
find a place we can call our own
Escape this town, move away
Don’t wanna see this town every single day

I'm so fed up with all the distance
I spend my life getting on and off trains
I hate it when we're 200 miles apart
When I see you it's time to leave again.
Track Name: Something So Unbreakable
I'm sitting here in the dark
waiting for your call
now I'm getting bored

Words fall on dry ground
your mind is so damn closed
I'm sitting here alone

We're running out of time
too far into this
I know we are through

God can't help us now
We've lost the hope of dreams
We'll just drift away

And I...always thought I'd be there
and I...always thought we'd be
something, something so unbreakable
that was, another stupid dream

My heart breaks at the thought
of someone else with you
get your hands off her

Did he rip your clothes?
Or tie you to the bed?
or did you just make love?

Was it in my house?
whilst I was away
did you meet him there?

God can't help you now
you threw it all away
watch us fall apart
Track Name: Violence Doesn't Give Salvation
I wake up with an empty feeling
from the dream that I just dreamt
This world's become a living nightmare
My heart is filled with discontent

I see a world of hurt and anger
people crushed by their own pride
countries that cry for freedom
where human beings have no rights

And justice isn't here no more, we've thrown away our dignity
we're frightened of these terrorists and leaders on a killing spree
dropping bombs to save a world and wiping out whole nations
why don't we just stop all this? violence doesn't bring salvation

I walk the streets with an empty feeling
I see the broken pass me by
people battle with their own demons
people lost yet don't know why

I see a world of hurt and anger
people crushed by their own pride
countries that cry for freedom
where human beings have no rights

It’s falling apart, the world falls apart, in front of our eyes
Track Name: Trading Your Faith
You trade your faith for vodka martini’s
Give up your degree for sea breezes
Lose your inhabitations with after shock

Taking shots of sourz and you think you’re so much fun
but let me tell you now you’re not the dream of anyone

And all the drunken nights out and Ann Summer’s parties
Making out with random guys, don’t get me started
Going to the breeze bar and drinking ‘till you’re drunk
Don’t think that I care cos I don’t give a damn about you

Forgetting Jesus with pints of lager
Not wearing much just the dress from prada
Drinking because you think it makes you fun
Track Name: Pleading Insanity
I'm in a coma, trapped inside my own subconsciousness
I see my life and wonder how it became such a mess
I see the people on the streets living their lives so sane
I wonder if my life will ever be like that again

my head is spinning I feel like I'm in outa-space
my mind is churning and i feel like I need to escape
fed up with being stranded all alone
I need something to wake me up & call me home

I'm pleading insanity
don't know where I'm going
don't know where I've been
I'm pleading insanity
just lock me up and throw away the key

The phyciastrist says I have these voices in my head
I just wish they'd all give up and leave me here for dead
My world's an ecstasy, fed up with prescription drugs
I just wish I could feel again, somebody wake me up

Double vision stood before me
three voices whirling my head
Don't know what reality feels like
Don't know where fantasy ends...
Track Name: Hopeless Romantic
I know I'm a hopeless romantic
by which I mean I'm not romantic at all
I never bought you flowers or chocolates
do they really mean I love you more?

I guess it's time to make a change
I guess it's time to show you that I love you

No one but God, loves you like I do
No one but God, feels this way
I just love this warm fuzzy feeling
I just want for you to stay

I know I'm passionate about you
by which I mean no one could love you more
Even though I'm so damn unromantic
It doesn't mean that I don't love you at all

I know I let you down again. I know I let you down today
Just give me one last chance to show you that I love you
I'm a hopeless romantic but I'll be romantic today
Track Name: Secret
You were standing on a cold street corner
waiting for me to come and meet you there
the icy wind blowing circles round you
the dusty snow scattered in your hair

You spoke to me and like a spark to petrol
we lit up the coldest night
two broken hearts making one together
I just wanted to hold you tight

Will you tell me what it is you're feeling
Will you tell me what you feel inside

I was feeling out of inspiration
then you came and brightened my songs
With every note my mind thought of you
you don't know that I've felt this for so long

I am hiding what goes on within me
all these feelings I will keep closed in
shut up tight in my heart forever
locked away where no one will enter in

I won't tell you what it is I'm feeling
I won't tell you what I feel inside

The first time I saw you I knew you were someone special,
I was taken in by your beauty, totally captivated by what you said but at the same time completely surprised as to why you were actually talking to me.

As I left the place that first night I knew it was love, all I could think about was you. Every morning, every night, constantly you'd invade my thoughts.

I kept telling myself that the next time I saw you I'd tell you how I felt. I thought that on some level if I felt that strongly about you then maybe you'd feel the same way.
Track Name: Joanna
It's been far to long since I poured out my soul at this keyboard
& It's been such a while since I made you smile with a song
everything's changing and this next year will be no different
but we'll be the same, yes I know we'll always be strong

in less than a year we'll be committing to us for a lifetime
A lifetime's a while but know it'll pass us by fast
People have struggles and I doubt we'll be any different
but if we communicate our fears I know deep inside we'll last

Joanna I hope that you're hearing this song
and I hope that you that it's took me so long
to verbalise thoughts in a way that even half explains the way I feel
I you'll always be there in my heart
and I hope that we never drift apart
and I hope that this song serves to remind you
that I love you so

I know that sometimes I'll get it all wrong and upset you
I'll offer solutions rather than hearing you out
my ears will close up as I plan out my next sentence
but give me some time and I'll try to improve on all that

One day we'll both grow old in love together
and I'll still think you're pretty when lines run down you face
we'll be just as in love as the Christmas eve we got together
we'll prove to the world that a marriage can last for ever
