Consequences

 

Dirty tissues, trust issues
Glasses on the sink, they didn't fix you
Lonely pillows in a strangers bed
Little voices in my head
Secret keeping, stop the bleeding
Lost a little weight because I wasn't eating
All the songs that I can't listen to, to tell the truth

Loving you was young, and wild, and free
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences

Hesitation, awkward conversation
Running on low expectation
Every siren that I was ignoring
I'm payin' for it

Loving you was young, and wild, and free
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences

No, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Said, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey, no ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Loving you was dumb, dark and cheap
Loving you will still take shots at me
Found loving you was sunshine, but then it poured
And I lost so much more than my senses
'Cause loving you had consequences

Loving you

My Give a Damn's Busted

 

Well you filled up my head
With so many lies.
You twisted my heart
'Til something snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try
But my give a damn's busted.

You can crawl back home
Say you were wrong,
Stand out in the yard
And cry all night long.
Go ahead and water the lawn.
My give a damn's busted.

I really want to care,
I want to feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper
Naw
Sorry
Nothin'

You can say you've got issues.
You can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault,
I mean, after all you didn't pick 'em
Maybe somebody else's got time to listen.
My give a damn's busted.

Well your therapist says
It was all a mistake
A product of the prozac
And your co-dependent ways
So, who's your enabler these days?
My give a damn's busted.

I really want to care,
I want to feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper
Naw
Sorry
Nothin'

It's a desperate situation,
No tellin' what you'll do.
If I don't forgive you,
You say your life is through.
Come on, give me somethin' I can use.
My give a damn's busted.

I really want to care,
I want to feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper
Naw
Sorry
Nothin'

Just nothin'
No
You've really done it this time (Haha)
My give a damn's busted.

Like a Wrecking Ball

 

I, I been gone, I been gone too long, singin' my songs, on the road

Another town, one more show, and I'm comin' home
Don't give a damn what these keys are for
I'm gonna knock down that front door, and

I'ma gonna find out what that house is made of
It's been too many nights since its felt us make love
I wanna rock some sheetrock, knock some pictures off the wall
Love you baby, like a wrecking ball

You, look at you, send me one more shot, sittin' on a bathroom sink
Damn you, really turn me on, paintin' your toenails pink
Easy baby before you say, but if I can make it just one more day, and

That old house is gonna be shakin'
I hope those bricks and boards can take it
But I won't be surprised if the whole damn place just falls
I'm gonna rock you baby, like a wrecking ball

And that old house is gonna be shaking
Rafter and rockin' foundation quaking
Crash out through the front door, back you up against the wall
Love you baby, take it right there baby
Rock you baby, like a wrecking ball

Songwriters: Casey Beathard / Eric Church

Beautifully Broken

 

Every tear, every doubt
Every time you've fallen down
When you're hurting, feeling shame
When you're numbing all your pain
When you've lost your way
And feel so far away
You're not

You're beautifully broken
And you can be whole again
Even a million scars
Doesn't change whose you are
You're worthy
Beautifully broken

Every fear of being loved
For who you are no matter what
When you're stumbling, with each step
And you're haunted by regret
And the darkness closes in
Just listen

You're beautifully broken
And you can be whole again
Even a million scars
Doesn't change whose you are
You're worthy
Beautifully broken
You're beautifully broken (beautifully broken)
You're beautifully broken

Oh, the god who made the stars
Is the god that made your heart
And he's holding you right now
He can heal the broken parts
And make beauty from the scars, the scars
Beautiful scars!

You're beautifully broken
And you can be whole again
Even a million scars
Doesn't change whose you are
You're worthy
You're beautifully broken oh oh
And you can be whole again oh oh yeah
Even a million scars
Doesn't change whose you are
You're worthy
You're beautifully broken (you're beautifully broken)
Beautifully broken (you're beautifully broken)
You're beautifully broken

I Wanna Be Loved Like That

 

Natalie Wood gave her heart to James Dean
High school rebel and a beauty queen
Standing together in an angry world
One boy fighting for one girl

I want to be loved like that
I want to be loved like that
A promise, you can't take back
If you're gonna love me
I want to be loved like that

Daddy never gave momma a diamond ring
Momma never worried for anything
What he gave her came from the heart
A bond that was never torn apart

I want to be loved like that
I want to be loved like that
A promise, you can't take back
If you're gonna love me
I want to be loved like that

An old man kneeling all alone
Plants his flowers in a garden of stone
For seven years now she's been gone
And his devotion is still going strong

I want to be loved like that
I want to be loved like that
A promise, you can't take back
If you're gonna love me
I want to be loved like that

Songwriters: Bill La Bounty / Phil Barnhart / Sam Hogan

Love Who You Love

 I should have stolen every moment

Now there's a page with not enough on it
Where we belong
I guess I'll never understand it
Why do we take it all for granted
Until it's gone
'Cause then it's gone

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you
Love who you love

Give all ya' got like its your last day
Your heart and soul before it's too late
And pull 'em in
So close enough that they can feel it
With every single breath that you're breathin'
Breathe it in again and again

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Hold on, hold on
Love who you love
Say that you do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Love who you love
(Love who you love)

Hold on, keep on holding on
Yeah, with every single breath you're breathing

Love who you love
Love who you love
Again and again and again and again.

Before I Cry

 

I can't believe the things you said
Right now I wish that you would try
Try to stay near me
Try to be near me
Before I cry (before I cry)
'Cause I am gonna need a well
To catch the pain and lift the spell
Like you won't hear me
Can you try to heal me?
Before I cry

Hurry up, hurry up
Before I lose you
Hurry up, hurry up
Before you lose me too
Hurry up, hurry up
Before I change my mind

'Cause I'm gonna cry
If you say you don't need me
I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care
Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it
Why don't you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry

Could you please find another way?
I start to think that I'm insane
Trying to stay here
Let me just lay here
Before I cry

Hurry up, hurry up
Before I lose you
Hurry up, hurry up
Before you lose me too
Hurry up, hurry up
Before I change my mind

'Cause I'm gonna cry
If you say you don't need me
I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care
Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it
Why don't you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry

I'm 'bout to lose it
Is that so confusing?
Am I just repeating myself?
Say something loving to me before I crumble
Tell me, tell me, tell me

'Cause I'm gonna cry
If you say you don't need me
I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care
Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it
Why don't you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry
Before I cry, oh

Have I said what I needed to say?
Have you said what you wanted to say?
Did you say what you wanted to say?
Would you try and stop me before I cry?

Know it is Ok to Still Love Them

 Love is never wrong. When someone comes into your life who allows you the opportunity to experience love, that is always a true gift. Part of maturity, however, is recognizing that love by itself isn’t always enough to make a relationship work. Many other factors and circumstances, such as timing, incompatible values, or the choices we make, play a significant role in whether a relationship can thrive. But moving on from a relationship that isn’t working isn’t always about ending the love you feel. Sometimes the only way to let go is to love someone enough to want the best for him or her even if that means not being together

The Blues Man

 

He's just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
He's not a walk behinder
He's a new note finder
His name's a reminder of a blues man
That's already gone
So he started drinking and took some things
That messed up his thinking
He was sure sinking when she came along
He was alone in the spot light not to much left inside
She changed all that one night
When she sang him this song

Hey baby I love you
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me
You're some kind of macho man
You wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights

Let me shine a little love light down on that blues man

He got so sick from speeding all the things
They said he was needing if he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads

He got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old load down off of that blues man

And he sang
Hey baby I love you too
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band

I'm over 40 years old now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
He's over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with that blues man.

Songwriters: Hank Williams Jr.

Open Arms

 

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are, by my side

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

Now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Love them ...

 

Intoxicating

 SL is a drug, intoxicating the soul directly, absolutely, and without warning.

Sometimes two people meet in the dreaming. Their souls resonate together from the first moment - penetrating each other, shifting, changing and swirling until they're totally woven into one others fabric.

Africa

 

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

Fear

 

All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Holding me down

So rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage
Consume me,
My shadow see through me

'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up

I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
I'm staring through the I don't care
It's staring back at me

The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free, yeah

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me
My shadow see through me

'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
And now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
I used to fall but now I get back up

I'm moving on
Oh God just move on

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
Get back up
Get up

Feel it, fear, wow
And now fear, fear in itself can use you up
And then breaks you down
You're never enough
And I used to fall

Breathe
Ask for more
If you're bitter still
Ask him to help you carry on

Songwriters: Blue Miller / Justin Furstenfeld

I'm In You

 

I don't care where I go when I'm with you
When I cry you don't laugh cause you know me

I'm in you
You're in me
You gave me the love, the love that I never had

You and I don't pretend; we make love
I can't feel anymore than I'm singing

I'm in you
You're in me
You gave me the love, the love that I never had

Come so far when you think
you think back
You can't buy what we made, you and I

I'm in you
You're in me
You gave me the love, the love that I never had

I Finally Found Someone

 

I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin

This time it's different, dah dah dah dah
It's all because of you, dah dah dah dah
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it through
Oh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say to take my breath away

This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, oh, someone
I finally found someone, oh

Did I keep you waiting, I didn't mind
I apologize, baby, that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
And I love your hair, are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear, isn't it too tight?
You're exceptional, I can't wait for the rest of my life

This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, oh, someone
I finally found someone, oh

Whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

Fields of Gold

 

You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love among the fields of barley?
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so upon the fields of barley.
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly and there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left we'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold, when we walked in fields of gold

Songwriters: Gordon Sumner / Dusan Bogdanovic

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

 

Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground, I'm reaching for you, you, you

Feeling that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide love divides

Someday, love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways

If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways

Troubled times
Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain, in vain, in vain

If you must go, I wish you love
You'll never walk alone
Take care, my love
Miss you, love

Someday, love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways

If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways

Oh
Someday, love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you

If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you

I still love you, girl
I really love you, girl
And if he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you

No
No

Made For You

Water towers are made for hearts and names
Friday nights are made for football games
Fallin' leaves are made for fallin' in
Front porch steps are made for goodnight kissin'
And I was made for you, yeah I was made for you

Summer jobs are made for spendin' cash
Second dates are made for goin' fast
Early curfews are made for sneakin' past
2 AM was made for pissed off dads
And I was made for you, yeah I was made for you

Like a ship without a sea
Or a song without a melody
I don't know where I'd be or what I'd do
'Cause I was made for you

Smoky bars are made for "how 'bout a dance?"
Open roads are made for holdin' hands and
Laid back seats are made for young love
Two pink lines are made for growin' up
And I was made for you, yeah I was made for you

Like a ship without a sea
Or a song without a melody
I don't know where I'd be or what I'd do

My two arms are made for where you sleep
The sky was made for the moon and stars
You were made to steal my heart
And I was made for you, yeah I was made for you
