My Private Nation - lyric

Maybe one day I'll understand
Thou now I don't think I can
So I try to move on and leave
But with all the hurt you can't believe
That i could get up and go
So how I just don't know

I need to get to my place
When I find nothing but space
A spot to do all my comptemplation
Where I have my own private nation
To get away from it all
To ignore all the phone calls
Go away on a vacation
Where I have my own private nation

You want me to stay and hold on
But you know very well I want you gone
I can't have these thoughts anymore
Cos they go right to my core
Leaving everything so unorganized
While I'm the one being depised

I need to get to my place
When I find nothing but space
A spot to do all my comptemplation
Where I have my own private nation
To get away from it all
To ignore all the phone calls
Go away on a vacation
Where I have my own private nation

The strangeness that I feel
Can't possibly be real
But I know that it must
For it's what I lust

I need to get to my place
When I find nothing but space
A spot to do all my comptemplation
Where I have my own private nation
To get away from it all
To ignore all the phone calls
Go away on a vacation
Where I have my own private nation

What I Should Have Done - lyric

I've treated you so wrong
I continued it for so long
That I don't blame you for hating me
It's something that comes with the territory
Of beign left behind
In a love gone so blind.

I'm sorry for how I treated you
Always leaving you so blue
I realized it all along
But by then I was too far gone
I should've ended it sooner
Instead of leaving it all a big blur
At least that's what I should have done

What possesed me, I don't know
I just left mentally and went with the flow
I kept up a poor sad charade
While you were there being played
I don't know why I did it
But I couldn't bring myself to end it

I'm sorry for how I treated you
Always leaving you so blue
I realized it all along
But by then I was too far gone
I should've ended it sooner
Instead of leaving it all a big blur
At least that's what I should have done

Secret - lyric

The hitch in her step, the reason of being
All of it kept so inside seeming
To be of so little value to anyone else
But to her it's the key to her very pulse

She has a secret
But can she keep it
It's one she needs
The one with which she pleads
To hang on to
Cos it's her shade of blue

No one can ever know what's inside
So she stays completely wrapped up outside
Keeping it hidden, being able to mask it
As she gives up and lays in the casket

She has a secret
But can she keep it
It's one she needs
The one with which she pleads
To hang on to
Cos it's her shade of blue

With every minute and every hour
She starts to feel the power
But the true things he'll not know
Because to him she'll never show

She has a secret
But can she keep it
It's one she needs
The one with which she pleads
To hang on to
Cos it's her shade of blue

I Need To Keep Breathing - lyric

Messed up doesn't begin to explain
All of my never ending pain
It's caused by things so unsure
Leaving me so unpure

So confused
I walk around helpless
My mind in pieces
I move on all the less
Not knowing what I'm doing
Or really ever caring
I just want to go
Cos I need to keep breathing

All the emotions never end
Leaving my heart able to bend
Around all of the hurt and regret
The happiness I've never met
I would love to leave and get away
But it never goes my way

So confused
I walk around helpless
My mind in pieces
I move on all the less
Not knowing what I'm doing
Or really ever caring
I just want to go
Cos I need to keep breathing

All twisted up inside
I finally move* aside *step

So confused
I walk around helpless
My mind in pieces
I move on all the less
Not knowing what I'm doing
Or really ever caring
I just want to go
Cos I need to keep breathing

Sweet Girl - lyric

You never did anything
To deserve such a thing
Like this in you wildest dreams
That’s why it all seems
So unearthly and so unreal
And it’s hard to know how you feel

Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl
Unknowing to his evil charm
Or just how you’d be harmed
Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl
You showed no signs for help
None that could be felt
Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl

Things will never be the same
And your not to blame
But we didn’t no we could do anything
You never complained about a thing
You never cried out
You just kept you mouth shut
Acting like it was all fine
Instead of showing us about the crime
So how could anyone reach out for you
When none of us ever had a clue

Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl
Unknowing to his evil charm
Or just how you’d be harmed
Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl
You showed no signs for help
None that could be felt
Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl

You never cried out
You just kept your mouth shut
Acting like it was all fine
Never letting us know of the crime
That’s why it all seems
So unearthly and so unreal
And it’s hard to know how you feel

Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl
Unknowing to his evil charm
Or just how you’d be harmed
Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl
You showed no signs for help
None that could be felt
Cos to the eyes of the world
You were just a sweet girl

Easily - lyric

It’s like it comes natural
Maybe for me it’s universal
And I don’t know why
But I get some kind of high
When I’m alone with you or not
To me the room just gets so hot

Cos loving you comes so easily to me
It’s like I was meant to be
Your boyfriend to love
And to have
Cos loving you comes so easily to me
It’s like I was meant to be
With you and only you
It’s perfect for just us two
Cos loving you comes so easily to me

It’s not like any pain
But it’s hard to explain
What you do to me
I just want us to be
From now until the end of time
Cos I know you’ll be mine
Which is why I sit
And wait for a little bit

Cos loving you comes so easily to me
It’s like I was meant to be
Your boyfriend to love
And to have
Cos loving you comes so easily to me
It’s like I was meant to be
With you and only you
It’s perfect for just us two
Cos loving you comes so easily to me

I don’t know why
But I get some kind of high
When I’m alone with you or not
To me the room just gets so hot

Cos loving you comes so easily to me
It’s like I was meant to be
Your boyfriend to love
And to have
Cos loving you comes so easily to me
It’s like I was meant to be
With you and only you
It’s perfect for just us two
Cos loving you comes so easily to me

Don't Stop - lyric

I just wonder how
Just exactly how
You can do what you do
Just thinking about the two
Of us being together
Maybe forever
This is what you tell me
But anyone can see
That it’s not true
I can even see right thru
But it’s strange cos . . .

It seems now
I just forget how
To do anything else
It’s like an impulse
To do your biding
All the while fully committing
To doing your every command
While giving up what I used to do and
So much more than I wanted
That it seems you take me for granted
But I can’t shake the feeling
And I’ve started believing
That I don’t want it to stop

How can this go thru
Do you have something to prove
Or is it like some kind of sport
Well I don’t mean to thwart
These plans you’ve made
But I hope they fade
To the back of your mind
So we can find
What it’s really like to be
If not just for me

It seems now
I just forget how
To do anything else
It’s like an impulse
To do your biding
All the while fully committing
To doing your every command
While giving up what I used to do and
So much more than I wanted
That it seems you take me for granted
But I can’t shake the feeling
And I’ve started believing
That I don’t want it to stop

You’ve got some kind
Of mind control over my mind
And I just can’t get over it

It seems now
I just forget how
To do anything else
It’s like an impulse
To do your biding
All the while fully committing
To doing your every command
While giving up what I used to do and
So much more than I wanted
That it seems you take me for granted
But I can’t shake the feeling
And I’ve started believing
That I don’t want it to stop

It seems now
I just forget how
To do anything else
It’s like an impulse
To do your biding
All the while fully committing
To doing your every command
While giving up what I used to do and
So much more than I wanted
That it seems you take me for granted
But I can’t shake the feeling
And I’ve started believing
That I don’t want it to stop

It Just Has To Be This Way - lyric

Love is such a weird thing
Strange is the happiness it can bring
Or the unavoidable sadness
Among all of the madness
It can be confusing
But it’s never amusing
When there’s something wrong

It just has to be this way
There’s no way around the dismay
We just can’t be together
We’re not meant be forever
You just have to accept this
Even though each other’s touch we’ll miss
It just has to be this way

There’s no way around
We’re just on shaky ground
We’re not meant to last
We’ll just be a thing of the past
To be utterly forgotten
And we’ll be in
The stages of loss
Among all the moss
That covers our love

It just has to be this way
There’s no way around the dismay
We just can’t be together
We’re not meant be forever
You just have to accept this
Even though each other’s touch we’ll miss
It just has to be this way

We can't change anything now
Though we wish we could somehow
If it just didn't have to be this way

It just has to be this way
There’s no way around the dismay
We just can’t be together
We’re not meant be forever
You just have to accept this
Even though each other’s touch we’ll miss
It just has to be this way

It just has to be this way
There’s no way around the dismay
We just can’t be together
We’re not meant be forever
You just have to accept this
Even though each other’s touch we’ll miss
It just has to be this way

We can't change it now
Though we wish somehow
It didn't have to be this way

Behind The Mask - lyric

You can scream and beg
Do what you feel you must
The force will be too much
The power of one's lust

Behind the mask
Is the deciet and lies
You can't understand them
But they color in the lines
Behind the mask
Everything is dark
Nothing is pure
Though everything is marked
Behind the mask
Terror runs free
The evil surrounds you
And hear's not you plea

You feel it draw you
As it siezes your soul
It takes a hold of you heart
Then takes over with complete control

Behind the mask
Is the deciet and lies
You can't understand them
But they color in the lines
Behind the mask
Everything is dark
Nothing is pure
Though everything is marked
Behind the mask
Terror runs free
The evil surrounds you
And hear's not you plea

Nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
Only one things possible
That's to run away

Behind the mask
Is the deciet and lies
You can't understand them
But they color in the lines
Behind the mask
Everything is dark
Nothing is pure
Though everything is marked
Behind the mask
Terror runs free
The evil surrounds you
And hear's not you plea

Time To Move One - lyric

The things I live for
Are things i've seen before
I have no need for them
Yet I still see 'em
There's no purpose
But if they leave I'll miss
The comfort the bring
Thou they hurt like everything
Just like everthing and everyone else its

Time to move on
Since everyone else is gone
Nothing left here
Nothing but the fear
My mind won't get over it
At least not the last little bit
I have to leave here to handle
What I need to get off the mantle
Or else it'll be dark here forever
And I will never
See hope again

Nothing but hate and deciption
At least to my recolection
All the evil resides in this place
Leaving my mind in a never ending haze

I can't get away
This force always stays
It leaves me desperatly
Wanting to forget completely
But I can't, so I guess it's

Time to move on
Since everyone else is gone
Nothing left here
Nothing but the fear
My mind won't get over it
At least not the last little bit
I have to leave here to handle
What I need to get off the mantle
Or else it'll be dark here forever
And I will never
See hope again

I Don't Wanna Know - lyric

No questions asked
You just move on
No details to worry about
Your life goes on
It's all so easy (~why should it be so hard)

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna care
Just move on and
Keep the pain to bare
Leave me out
Do me the favor
Just go and take
Your strange behavior

I should'nt care, thou I do
And I don't know why
But you want to leave me
I can see it in your eyes
Yet you still want to be here
You want to be with me
It's just not possible
So I'm telling you to go and be

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna care
Just move on and
Keep the pain to bare
Leave me out
Do me the favor
Just go and take
Your strange behavior

I don't care
I don't want to
I don't believe
I just want us to be thru

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna care
Just move on and
Keep the pain to bare
Leave me out
Do me the favor
Just go and take
Your strange behavior

Brandon

What If It's You - lyric

We decided to go our separate ways
But I’ve been in some kind of haze
Cos all I do is think of you
I try to hide the fact that it’s true
But you stay on my mind
And I can’t move on till I leave our love behind
The only thing is that I need to know …

What if it’s you
How do we know if it’s true
What if we’re meant to be together
How do we know if we’re not meant to be forever
I don’t want to give you away
Cos I feel that you may
Be the one for me

I hate to do this
But these thoughts can’t be missed
They rattle thru my brain
Causing me such unwanted pain
Leavin me thinking of us

What if it’s you
How do we know if it’s true
What if we’re meant to be together
How do we know if we’re not meant to be forever
I don’t want to give you away
Cos I feel that you may
Be the one for me

How do we know to move on with our lives
To pull our hearts out from under the knives
What will I do if I don’t find out
Oh, I just need to know …

What if it’s you
How do we know if it’s true
What if we’re meant to be together
How do we know if we’re not meant to be forever
I don’t want to give you away
Cos I feel that you may
Be the one for me

What if it’s you
How do we know if it’s true
What if we’re meant to be together
How do we know if we’re not meant to be forever
I don’t want to give you away
Cos I feel that you may
Be the one for me

You And Me - lyric

I wouldn’t change a thing
Not for the world and over
I want to be with you
Lying here under this cover
Looking at the stars
Nothing better to do
I could lay here forever
And I know you feel the same way too

You and me
We’re undeniably true
Too good to even be right
So madly in love without a clue
So desperately falling
Dreaming all day
Of each other’s touch
Knowing that everything ’ll be okay

Here is where I belong
No doubt in my mind about it
There’s no better place to be
Than here with candles dimly lit
Under the soft light
It’s truly perfect
For us to just be
With arms around each other’s neck(s)

You and me
We’re undeniably true
Too good to even be right
So madly in love without a clue
So desperately falling
Dreaming all day
Of each other’s touch
Knowing that everything ’ll be okay

The Last To Leave - lyric

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know
Followed by a thought
With nothin' to show
To come out on the other side
And still not know

(And) I would love to be there
Just to show you the way
To keep you on the path
Keep you from being able to stray
I would be with you now
But I can't leave my life
No matter what you've been thru
No matter what the strife

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know
Followed by a thought
With nothin' to show
To come out on the other side
And still not know

Cracks of the whip
Ring out loud and clear
Busting the drum
Of your poor broken ear
Crying out in pain
I can hear you from here
Don't cry out for me
I can't be there, not near

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know
Followed by a thought
With nothin' to show
To come out on the other side
And still not know

Silhouettes of a storm
Thunder like lightning
All the while
You're stuck sinking
To survive the fight
Would be another sign
But what you gonna do
Without enough time

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know
Followed by a thought
With nothin' to show
To come out on the other side
And still not know

Just see the light
Shining your only way
Begging for you
To sit, watch, and stay
It's almost a breakdown
Of a love that you've known
Shadowed by a sign
That could only be shown

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know
Followed by a thought
With nothin' to show
To come out on the other side
And still not know

I wish there
Was an easy way to do this
But there isn't
There's no other kiss
For you to take and run
To get my feelings
To my fireflies
That catch me dreaming

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know
Followed by a thought
With nothin' to show
To come out on the other side
And still not know

Now you've gotta catch
That train before it leaves
I want you to stay, yes
But you have to believe
That I'll soon come get you
You know I will, just wait until
I can for sure
You know I will

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know
Followed by a thought
With nothin' to show
To come out on the other side
And still not know

To be the last to leave
The last to go
The one to give up
The last one to know

Walk Into The Room - lyric

I knew I’d seen the one
The minute I first you
I was pretty sure
That you felt that way too
If only I wasn’t one
To be such a nervous wreck
You’d want me to put
My arms around you neck

All you had to do was walk into the room
And my heart suffered a sonic boom
I could tell that you were one of a kind
Cos i was suddenly willing to walk the line
Just to spend a minute
With someone as cute
As you

You were the one
I wanted right away
I wasn’t into a silly game
Of love, so why play
I wanted to have you
To be my girl right then, right now
I just needed for it
To happen somehow

All you had to do was walk into the room
And my heart suffered a sonic boom
I could tell that you were one of a kind
Cos i was suddenly willing to walk the line
Just to spend a minute
With someone as cute
As you
