Vs 1: Can I leave Can I let it all go Can I just walk away from the life that we’ve built Into all I don’t know Can I follow my heart Does it lead me to you Will I regret all the things that I said or The things that I couldn’t help but do Vs 2: Where is my life Tell me where did it go I saw for a moment the way it could shine Then I lost all control And where is my light Guiding me through And how can I see past the days and the words When all I can see is you Chorus: Oh Give me the space to return And give me the lessons to learn There has to be reasons for Bridges We Burn Oh Vs 3: Well is it all here If I walk away Will I look back and see all of the things that I thought I needed And wished I stayed Or will I stand tall And know I chose right And will I still feel all the strength that I feel After every cold and lonely night Chorus Oh Give me the space to return And give me the lessons to learn There has to be reasons for Bridges We Burn Bridge: Or do we just burn Burn down every road I’ve been on Burn down every memory and every last song Burn down all the things that I thought I did wrong Oh Oh Oh Oh Can I leave Can I let it all go Can I just walk away from the thing that I thought would be the only thing I’d always know

I’m sorry baby but I tried Sorry for telling you those lies Sorry for messing with your mind I never meant to make you cry You say you can’t believe the things I do Can’t believe the words I say But I’m just trying to catch the truth So I can throw the scars away Well you had your distance to review You had your miles in the way I’m sorry baby but I tried Sorry for telling you those lies Sorry for messing with your mind I never meant to make you cry Well I’m not the one you wanna hold onto I’m just the one who got confused Your eyes they can’t see through the bruise From the girl you thought you knew Well my lips are twisted and refuse To find the words to say to you I’m sorry baby but I tried Sorry for telling you those lies Sorry for messing with your mind I never meant to make you cry You were everything, everything, everything And I came so close to being, close to being, close to being All the things that I’m supposed to be, supposed to be, supposed to be But am I supposed to be for you or just for me? I’m sorry baby but I tried Sorry for telling you those lies Sorry for messing with your mind I never planned to say goodbye

If I were looking I’d never find you I’d keep my eyes peeled on a door you’d never walk through Well I made my choices to live my life Then you pulled your car up right beside me But I’m Someone Else’s Wife If I never knew you I’d never know The way your eyes feel like the ocean when my body’s trapped in snow And I’d never see the light you are Or the beauty in the darkness As I slip and fall apart Woah How many days can I be standing here Woah With your eyes on mine Woah Fixed and intent to draw me near As you confuse the life Of Someone Else’s Wife I don’t regret the life I chose But I wish I knew why you were here and where this will go Well you have your choices like I had mine And I know you’ll choose to walk away if I give it time So I’ll give it time Woah How many days can I be standing here Woah With your eyes on mine Woah Blurring the lines I thought were clear As you confuse the life Of Someone Else’s Wife And I can’t let you walk away But I know I can’t let you stay And I don’t want to let go of your green eyes or your beautiful face Your beautiful face Woah How many days can I be standing here Woah With your eyes on mine Woah Whispering truths I’d always feared As you consume the life

Can you feel the waves between us Can you feel the way they pulse The way they sound Cause I can feel when you step closer I can feel the way the world is all around We've become this Beautiful tortured mess We've become this mess Can you feel the way I see you Can you feel the way I want you Around Cause I can feel when I step closer Yes I can feel my walls falling down We've become this Beautiful tortured mess We've become this mess I could tell you that I don't feel a thing I could tell you that I think it's all a dream But can you feel the waves between us Can you feel the way they pulse The way they sound Cause I can feel when you step closer I can feel the way you are all around We've become this Beautiful tortured mess We've become this mess

One More Day 04:50
You were warm as the winter
 You were strong as the sea
 Hold my arms under water
 Let you wash over me My body like your weather vane
 Your lightning struck through me Give me one more day
 Give me one more way to feel the pain I'm in
 Then you're free to walk away
 But give me one day
 Before you fade away I still feel you in moonlight
 Pull your hands through my hair
 I still thought you'd be waiting
 I still see you everywhere My body is your weather vane
 Your lightning runs through me Give me one more day
 Give me one more way to feel the pain I'm in
 Then you're free to walk away
 But give me one day
 Before you fade away I'm still waiting for the answers
 I'm still waiting to feel the way you knew we would
 I'm still waiting for answers
 And I believed
 I thought you believed So give me one more day
 Give me one more way
I swear I can handle the pain
 Then you're free to walk away Give me one more day
 Give me one more way to feel the pain I'm in
 Then you're free to walk away
 But give me one day
 Before you choose to fade away

Looking straight ahead Thinking of what you said when you said ‘stay on the track, don’t ever look back’ All that you said was true Somehow you always knew Yeah you knew I’d work it out I had my doubts but you said Run Run baby, Run Follow your feet into the distance It’s only just begun Oh run Run baby, run Don’t ever wait until tomorrow for your time in the sun Just run Something has knocked you down What’s got you spinning round, spinning round Wondering when This circus will end Well take it from yourself You know that no one else No one else knows it like you You know what to do Run Run baby, Run Follow your feet into the distance It’s only just begun Oh run Run baby, run Don’t ever wait until tomorrow for your time in the sun Just run You showed me how to make it through And now I give it back to you I give it back I give it back to you Run Run baby, Run Follow your feet into the distance It’s only just begun Oh run Run baby, run Don’t ever wait until tomorrow for your time in the sun Just run

Till I Die 02:42
You wanna tell me how to live You wanna tell me what to keep and what to give You wanna tell me when to stay And that’s okay Kiss me and cut me open Throw me to the ground Let the rocks fall where I’m open And leave me with no sound This is my life that I am building A life that isn’t yours And no matter how you scrape me or lead me in a lie This is my life that lay before me And I’ll live it till I die You led me down this gravel road Drag me around and tell me this is how it goes You let the grit get in my eyes But I am fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine So Go On Kiss me and cut me open Throw me to the ground Let the rocks fall where I’m open And leave me with no sound This is my life that I am building A life that isn’t yours And no matter how you scrape me or lead me in a lie This is my life that lay before me And I’ll live it till I die You want You want You want You want from me So I I gave I gave I gave I gave until I bleed Oh You want You want You want You want from me So Come On Kiss me and cut me open Throw me to the ground Let the rocks fall where I’m open And leave me with no sound This is my life that I am building A life that isn’t yours And no matter how you scrape me or lead me in a lie This is my life that lay before me And I’ll live it till I die

How many days can I spend walking up to you Hands on your face as I try to work through Why I Always say goodbye I can see the kindness in your smile And the gentle way you linger As you catch me for a while But I Don’t want to tell you how I need to turn and run So just for now can we pretend that I’m the one? Can you hold me for a day Knowing I could never stay Will it break you down inside After everything I’ve tried Still it’s always time To say goodbye But I can’t tell you why I still remember when I wanted nothing more Then spending days curled up beside you on the floor And I Can still see why But I have changed and everything we knew Is out of focus now and slipping out of view And I Can’t understand whatever’s pushing you aside That doesn’t mean that I don’t miss when you were mine Can you hold me for a day Knowing I could never stay Will it break you down inside After everything I’ve tried Still it’s always time To say goodbye But I can’t tell you why Why? I swear I've tried Can you hold me for a day Knowing I could never stay Will it break you down inside After everything I’ve tried Still it’s always time To say goodbye I wish I could tell you why Can you hold me for a day Knowing I could never stay Will it break you down inside After everything I’ve tried Still it’s always time To say goodbye But I can’t tell you why

Walk Away 02:52
I look inside my heart for you and I can see you’re everywhere I look inside my world for you and I can’t find you anywhere And I can feel me pull away And I wonder if you should stay I look inside my mind for you and I can see you’re fading fast I look into this empty room and I am scared to think that I thought it would last And I can feel me pull away And I wonder if you should stay I kept you in this perfect world cause I – I wanted everything But now I see, one look around, that I kept you in a dream And I can feel me pull away And I wonder if you or I should stay Or should we walk away
11.
It’s another day I wake up tired again and hear myself begin to say ‘Wait just another night You might find what you’re looking for if you just stay and fight’ Stay and fight But how do you know how to win When you just begin? I’m still learning to breathe But I’m a beautiful girl And I’ll be learning till I walk out of this world And I don’t always get it right But I deserve the song I sing and the love I bring And the chance to live my life Sometimes I’m wrong But I still deserve the chance to stand and sing along You don’t know what’s best You have your eyes to see and I have mine So let it rest Let the fire rest Night will come tomorrow too And when it does will I know what to do? I’m still learning to breathe But I’m a beautiful girl And I’ll be learning till I walk out of this world And I don’t always get it right But I deserve the song I sing and the love I bring And the chance to live my life I don’t know what tomorrow brings All I know is I’ll be fine If I just sing I’m still learning to breathe But I’m a beautiful girl I’m a beautiful girl I know that I’m a beautiful girl I’m still learning to breathe But I’m a beautiful girl And I’ll be learning till I walk out of this world And I don’t always get it right But I deserve the song I sing and the love I bring And the chance to live my life

In My Bed 03:10
I wanna feel you in my bed I wanna know if it feels the same As it does in my head I wanna feel you in my sheets And feel the way the world gets tangled Up in our feet Pull me closer to you baby Let me feel the way your skin can dance with mine Pull me closer to you baby And take your time Take your time I wanna feel you in the room I wanna know the way you whisper And the way that you move I wanna feel you inside I wanna know that it’s not just Inside of my mind Pull me closer to you baby Let me feel the way your skin can dance with mine Pull me closer to you baby And take your time Take your time Woah Oh Pull me closer to you baby Let me feel the way your skin can dance with mine Pull me closer to you baby And take your time Take your time

Boxes waiting patiently for me to make up my mind What stays and what goes What’s his and what’s mine It’s been coming for a while, now I’m running out of time He’ll be home soon trying to change my mind Standing on the Edge of Goodbye Lord knows how long we’ve tried It’s hard for this broken heart to understand why All these memories seem like someone else’s life Trying to see the other side Standing on the Edge of Goodbye Staring down the door Like I've done so many times If I go turn the knob Will she still be inside This used to be a home But it's turned into a cage I've done everything she wanted But let her fly away Standing on the Edge of Goodbye Lord knows how long we’ve tried It’s hard for this broken heart to understand why All these memories seem like someone else’s life Trying to see the other side Standing on the Edge of Goodbye There’s nothing to decide anymore And nowhere else to go but through that door Standing on the Edge of Goodbye Lord knows how long we’ve tried It’s hard for this broken heart to understand why All these memories seem like someone else’s life Trying to see the other side Standing on the Edge of Goodbye Standing on the Edge of Goodbye

Carry On 03:40
I don’t like the girl I am When I can see me holding another’s hand When I can see myself making other plans When I can see the heart of another man And I don’t like the girl I see With a perfect world stretched in front of me And all the love that a heart should need And all I think is that I should leave Woah But you can’t stop the world from spinning And you can’t keep your heart from moving on You can’t go back to the beginning So carry on, carry on, carry on I just spent another day Trying to tell myself there’s another way Trying to tell myself that it’s all okay Trying to tell myself that I should stay But that just keeps me hanging on And keeps me singing another song It keeps me thinking that I am wrong It keeps me thinking that I’m not strong Woah But you can’t stop the world from spinning And you can’t keep your heart from moving on You can’t go back to the beginning So carry on, carry on, carry on Who knew Who knew But if you If you If you’re scared of the road you’re on You’re not wrong ‘Cause you can’t stop the world from spinning And you can’t keep your heart from moving on You can’t go back to the beginning So carry on, carry on, carry on You can’t stop the world from spinning And you can’t keep your heart from moving on You can’t go back to the beginning So carry on, carry on, carry on Head up, hope strong, carry on
