Тексты:
I Don't Want a Lover
I don't want a lover I just need a friend I don't want a lover I just need a friend You can just leave me To face life on my own I know you don't love me no more I knew this day it would come Even when it cuts so deep It's true I still want you But the harder I try The more I seem to lose I don't want a lover I just need a friend I've had time to recover Now that I know it wasn't love It's always a different story When it's me who's in the wrong But you can't have it all Cause I'm the one who's strong I've already been burnt before Once but never again I know the time will come That's when you'll need me then I don't want a lover I just need a friend I've had time to recover Now that I know it wasn't love I don't want a lover I just need a prayer I know you never cared Now that I know it wasn't love You don't even care About what I'm saying You don't even think What you're doing All you see is what you want it to be But in there there's just no room for me I don't want a lover I just need a friend I've had time to recover Now that I know it wasn't love You don't even care About what I'm saying You don't even think What you're doing All you see is what you want it to be There's just no room in there for me I don't want a lover I just need a friend I've had time to recover Now that I know it wasn't love I don't want a lover I just need a prayer I know you never cared Now that I know it wasn't love
Tell Me Why
(Johnny McElhone — Sharleen Spiteri)
Even now I can see that day The fear in your eyes Tell me why Were you so afraid Somethings they turn out this way Fire the bullet and find That you don't know what you left behind When we laid you to rest Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid You walk this line You walk this line of hate Where to people are so blind Blind to the evil it creates Never say too much Never think out loud Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid I know one day you'll find a way To heal the wounds I know one day you'll find a way To heal the wounds Tell me why were you so afraid Even now I can see that day The fear in your eyes You gave all you lived for Whilst you kept your pride Tell me why were you so afraid Tell me why were you so afraid
Everyday Now
I just woke up and I can see it now It's never been this close before Tried to tell myself I didn't care Crying out why am I here There's no point in me hiding And only now I can see Everyday now Everyday now The blame's gonna fall on me Something deep inside said move away Try to leave what's good behind And I still ask myself Why I let it go All these years were wasted time There's no point in me hiding And only now I can see Everyday now Everyday now The blame's gonna fall on me Everyday now Everyday now The blame's gonna fall on me Cause I never told you That I could never live without it Now the blame's on me Cause I never told you That I could never live without it Now the blame's on me Everyday now Everyday now The blame's gonna fall on me Everyday now Everyday now The blame's gonna fall on me Everyday now Everyday now The blame's gonna fall on me Cause I never knew the feeling And it changed me and I never knew Cause I never knew the feeling And it changed me and I never knew
Prayer for You
All I see is the truth now That's all I want you to know That I'll never turn my back on you And leave you out there on your own I could never hide my feelings I could never let you fall And I want you to remember All the love that I've found Oh, I say a prayer A prayer for you Oh, for you I could never make a promise I'd only break it in the end Then you're looking for the answers You'd never trust in me again I could never watch you suffer I could never let you down And I hope you soon discover All the truth that I've now found Oh, I say a prayer A prayer for you Oh, for you Oh, I say a prayer A prayer for you Oh, for you
Faith
(Johnny McElhone — Sharleen Spiteri)
Believe in In what i'm saying It's so much harder When it's you who is listening When i see suspicion in your eyes You know it hurts me It turns my head around No words could explain You've got to have faith in me Nothing left to lose You've got to have faith in me Nothing left to lose I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow Have faith Deceiving Deceiving only you Why should i care When it means nothing to you When i see life coming closer I turn and pray Was it all in vain Will my world change You've got to have faith in me You've nothing left to lose You've got to have faith in me You've nothing left to lose I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow Have faith Oh pleasing you has proven to be To be my weakest link yeh But if i change no place is safe Safe from a piece of mind You've got to have faith in me You've nothing left to lose Please have faith in me You've nothing left to lose You've got to have faith in me I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow Have faith You've got to have faith in me
Thrill Has Gone
(Johnny McElhone — Sharleen Spiteri)
Listening I hear your voice Together you and I have nothing left to carry on And I'm seeing you slip away Cause you never cared You never even realised Now the thrill has gone Cause I can see it in your eyes Now the thrill has gone And it was you who threw it all away Now the thrill has gone Wondering as I look outside Changes all around There's nothing left here to hide And I'm asking you have you lost your soul Cause you never cared You never even realised that I wasn't there Now the thrill has gone Cause I can see it in your eyes Now the thrill has gone And it was you who threw it all away Now the thrill has gone Say to me what I want to hear Say to me what I want to hear Cause you never cared You never even realised that I wasn't there Now the thrill has gone Cause I can see it in your eyes Now the thrill has gone And it was you who threw it all away Now the thrill has gone Now the thrill has gone Cause I can see it in your eyes Now the thrill has gone And it was you who threw it all away Now the thrill has gone
Fight the Feeling
(Armstrong — Johnny McElhone — Sharleen Spiteri)
I've looked down the saddest city lane I've looked at the people with faces of pain I can't forget it I can't forget it I looked int your eyes You think it just a game Them faces keep on looking But it's all in vain I can't forget it I can't forget it Fight the feeling Show me your strength Fight the feeling You've got to fight to the end You keep telling me my mind is too cruel But I can't help it if I live by these rules You'll never change them You'll never change them You took me for a fool And read my thoughts You never realised that I couldn't be bought I can't forget it You will regret it Fight the feeling Show me your strength Fight the feeling You've got to fight to the end You can only push me so far Before I can't take no more I've made the vow You've lost me now Don't push me so far Fight the feeling Show me your strength Fight the feeling You've got to fight to the end
Fool for Love
(Armstrong — Johnny McElhone — Sharleen Spiteri)
Have you heard the sound of disappointment It tears at you Why didn't I realise that I could be conned by you Taken for a fool But as the light go down There's no one left around What will you do Now you've hurt me I won't let you stay No matter what you say to me now I won't let you stay No matter what you say to me now Hear what I'm saying it's not what I'm thinking My head is like a chain of thoughts Twisted in vain When will you ever learn That it's always the hard way Now that we're through I've nothing left to prove To convince you To convince you I won't let you stay No matter what you say to me now I won't let you stay No matter what you say to me now I won't let you stay No matter what you say to me now You never cared what happened Now you're the one who's laughing Fool for love Those rumours were true I was your fool I won't let you stay No matter what you say to me now I won't let you stay No matter what you say to me now
One Choice
(Johnny McElhone — Sharleen Spiteri)
There's only one reason left for me to stay But you won't like the reason why Tried so many times to get through the two of you But you don't even want to try Times are hard and people need all they have got Look around and see what's left today Ain't so easy making it on your own What more do I need to say There's only one choice to be made And I can't help it If you take the wrong way Never knew a good thing Till it moved away Now it's too late to turn it back You'd buy the world if it would make me stay Listen now to what I have to say There's only one choice to be made And I can't help it If you take the wrong way There's only one choice to be made And I can't help it If you take the wrong way Sitting here thinking But nothing seems to change And I can't stand it anymore There's always someone trying to pull you down Do you really want this constant war There's only one choice to be made And I can't help it If you take the wrong way There's only one choice to be made And I can't help it If you take the wrong way
Future is Promises
(Ally McErlaine — Johnny McElhone — Sharleen Spiteri)
I saw him today at the station There was something on his mind I felt I was on the devil's mission Trying to steal him from a friend I know it hurts you And you can't ask why I know it hurts you Takes a train to cry Your only future is promises For so many years Your only future is promises I know you can make it if you try You've been living life in the past I'm gonna reach out I'm gonna grab your heart You've been living life in the eyes of a stranger You've gotta free your mind Cause I want to get nearer Your only future is promises For so many years Your only future is promises I know you can make it if you try Take the chance and make the move But don't think that I will approve For once I've finally realised Being with her wasted your life Your only future is promises For so many years Your only future is promises I know you can make it if you try Your only future is promises For so many years Your only future is promises
