Loved Me Back To Life (Lyrics)

1.
LOVED ME BACK TO LIFE

I was walking dead
Stuck inside my head
I couldn't get out
Turned the lights down
The voices inside were so loud
Needed a jump start
Catatonia
I couldn't feel
I wished that i could disappear
The voices inside were so real
But you stood by my side
Night after night
Night after night
You loved me back to life
Life...
From the coma
The wait is over
Life...
From the coma
We're lovers again tonight
You woke me up
One touch and I felt alive
Back to life thought I'd die
The voices inside were so quiet
But you stood by my side
Night after night
Night after night
Life...
From the coma
The wait is over
Life...
From the coma
Strong hands
Thick skin
And an open heart
You saw through the pain
Saw through the mask
You never gave up on me
Life...
From the coma
The wait is over
Life...
From the coma

2. SOMEBODY LOVES SOMEBODY

I dont want another piece of your mind
So take it somewhere else for the night
Cause I cant take another goodbye
If you want a fight
Bite your tongue before you explode
Don't let this get out of control
You don't want me to leave you alone
When somebody loves somebody
Thats the way its supposed to be
Cause you know nobody else
Would put up with your games, oh
I don't believe you lover
You don't wanna go, no
Thats not the way it is
Wait
Im hearing every word that you say
You wonder if we made a mistake
Its written all over your face
You know its too late
We've already fallen in love
Tell me is it askin too much
For you to stick it out when its tough
Is it ever enough
Some people live their lives
Never believing in love
I don't want that for us
'Cause you know nobody else

3. INCREDIBLE (duet with Ne-Yo)

Whole world is watching us now
Its a little intimidating
But since theres no way to come down
Lets give em something amazing
Lets make them remember
Using one word
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
We were incredible
Simply incredible
We even counted us out
We werent sure wed make it
But we learned no matter what they dish out
Its nothing, we can take it
Well go down in history
Theyll describe our love as
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
That we were
We were incredible
Simply incredible
Theyll describe our love as
Incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh incredible
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
That we were
We were incredible
Simply incredible
Lets give em something amazing

4. WATER AND A FLAME

Seven days has gone so fast
I really thought the pain would pass
Its been nearly an hour
Since I thought of you
But youre not answering the phone
Id settle for a busy tone
At least by that Id know that youre okay
A guy like you aint meant to go away, no
Now youre gone
Theres nothing else I want
Now that its over
What have I done
Looks like I was wrong
Is everything really meant to change
I guess were like water and a flame
Water and a flame
Im tired of this empty house
I need a drink to get me out
A couple more til I forget your name
I saw a guy that looked like you
I did not know quite what to do
It took a power of will to break my stare
I realized what I wanted wasnt there
Now youre gone
Now that its over
What have I done
Water and a flame
And if you see me coming
Look away, look away
And if your mind is made up
Look away, I will look away
And, if youre worried about me
Im okay, Im okay, yes I am
Now youre gone
Now that its over
What have I done
Water and a flame

5. BREAKWAY

From the fire in your words
To the dagger in your eye
I just have to lay my body down
Go and lay my body down
I pretend to be asleep
But I know you hear me cry
But if I really wanna change
Then I must admit that Im the one to blame
If I could breakaway
Cut the chord
For worse or better
If I could turn the page
At last and say
Goodbye forever
But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am
Without the pain
Is empty heartache
I could breakaway
Is it true what people say
That its darkest before dawn
Any hope we might have saved
Is too weak to let live on
And if I really wanna change
Then tonight Im gonna need all of my strength
Cut the chord
For worse or better
At last and say
Goodbye forever
Oh, anything is better than this
I know
Anything is better
Cut the chord
For worse or better
At last and say
Goodbye forever
But on the other side
Of yesterday
Beyond the heartache
What if all I am
Without the pain
Is empty heartache
I could breakaway

6. SAVE YOUR SOUL

Princess painless
Empty pillowcases
One love too blind
I held you, felt you
Shook you past I love yous
My scars, your lies
Oh cause I
Kept believing every word you said
Wrapped up in every kiss you poisoned
I could swear I never tasted sin
But if I just knew
Ill forget what youve done
But I cant save your soul
I wont preach, I wont judge
Save your soul
You could get on your knees
Baby, just let me be, whoa
Oooh oooh
Baby I cant save your soul
Oooh ooooh
I cant save your soul
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh
Black tears streaming
No more slick concealing
No trust, no love
I cant hear you
No, I dont even know you
Door shut, case closed
How could I
Keep believing every word you said
Wrapped up in every kiss you poisoned
I could swear I never saw the sin
But if I just knew
Ill forget what youve done
I wont preach, I wont judge
Save your soul
You could get on your knees
Baby, just let me be, whoa
Oooh oooh
Oooh ooooh
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh

7. DIDNT KNOW LOVE

I thought I had it long ago
I held on but it let go
It kissed me on a subway train, and I melted
It got my hand, it brushed my cheek
It moved right in, it cut me deep
You know it even had a name, I really felt it
I didnt know love, not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than Ive
ever known
Its making me weak, making me strong
Its making me afraid Im gonna wake up and
find it gone
I didnt know love
Its a blessing, its a curse
You know youve found it when it hurts
It can drive you off a cliff
But its worth it
Careful where you spend the night
Its complicated when its right
You can make me such a mess
Yeah, youre perfect
But, I didnt know love, not even close
ever known
find you gone
I didnt know love
No, I didnt know love
Now youre lying in my arms beside me
In the past, Id settle for a touch
Id tell myself it was enough
I was lying, lying, lying,
Cause I didnt know love
I didnt know love, not even close
ever known
find you gone
I didnt know love
No, I didnt know love
I didnt know love
I didnt know love

8. THANK YOU

Down and out, all alone
Sitting here, sad and blue
Sun is now going down
Kinda cold, seeking refuge
Or just a friendly face
Or maybe just a smile
Someone that understands
What Im going through right now
And just before I lay me down to never wake
I look up and I see you
So with everything I am
Thank you
Thank you
Because you didnt have to
Thank you
Thank you
With everything I am
Thank you
For the real sacrifice and the truth
Behind your given heart
And how you never judge a fault in me
Help because you want it too
And for your friendly face
And for just your smile
Simply understanding
What Im going through right now
Just before I lay me down to never wake
I look up and I see you
So with everything I am
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Cause when no one else would care, you did
And when no one else was there, you were
Now I am so aware
Youre a blessing to me
What did I do to deserve
To deserve you
Theres no words
That could describe
That could describe
How much I
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

9. OVERJOYED (duet with Stevie Wonder)

Over time
Ive been building my castle of love
Just for two
Though you never knew you were my reason
Ive gone much too far for you now to say
That Ive got to throw my castle away
Over dreams
I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you Ive been
dreaming
And the sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you dont believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what Ive searched to
discover
Ive come much too far for me now to find
The love that Ive sought can never be mine
And though you dont believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you
Over you

10. THANKFUL

Circle round like butterflies
Escape the pourin rain
Run into the alleyways
Steal a little kiss again
Youre my only weakness
But somehow you make me strong
After chasin ghosts and fairytales
Im right where I belong
And I dont know where Ive been lookin
And I dont care where you have been before
But Im thankful to be here
Thankful to feel clear
Thankful my prayers have been answered
Im thankful you listened
Thankful to heaven
Thankful for feelin alive again
Thankful that hearts always mend
I write it all on paper dolls
Let them play their little games
Of who loves who and what is true
No one ever takes the blame
I see you through the window
And it takes my breath away
And I lose the floor beneath me
And all thats left to say is
I dont know where I was goin
And I dont care where we have been before
Thankful to heaven
And I caught rainbows falling down
When I stopped spinnin around and around and
around
Thankful to heaven

11. AT SEVENTEEN

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The Valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth...
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say Come dance with me
And murmured vague obscenities
It isnt all it seems at seventeen...
A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
Said Pity, please, the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve
The rich-relationed hometown queen
Marries into what she needs
With a guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly...
So remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
In debitures of quality and dubious integrity
Their small-town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise when payments due
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen...
To those of us who knew the pain
Of Valentines that never came
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
When dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me...
We all play the game, and when we dare
We cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say Come dance with me
And murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me, at seventeen...

12. ALWAYS BE YOUR GIRL

I listen to my heartbeat and I try to follow where
it leads me
Thats right, I dont wake up in the shadows
anymore
I can finally breathe
I did a little deep-down searchin
Took a little time to work it through
But I found everything the day that I had you
I once was the lost one
Like a wayward child
Now youre the light that leads the way
I can melt the drops of freezing rain
I will fly in and save the day
I will always try to make it better than it was for
me
Youll always be the first one in my prayers
Just close your eyes and I am there
Its a better world since youre my boy
Ill always be your girl
Im pickin up all the pieces
When I put em back together Im like new
Cause my greatest wish has already come true
Well always be connected, baby
Like a button to a sleeve
And this lullaby will send you off to sleep
Its hard to imagine my life before you
Cause youre the light that leads the way
me
Ill be holdin the rope if you tumble and fall
Theres love after love after all
Well always be connected, baby
Youre like a button on my sleeve
And this lullaby
me

13. UNFINISHED SONGS

So youre thinking its ending
But its only just begun
Your whole life is there right
Right in front of you
Lifes a story that is all twists and turns
All that matters is the lessons we learn
Cause were all unfinished songs
Waiting for the best part to come along, hey,
hey
And were all pictures half drawn
We can be anything we want, hey, hey
Now is your time
Its your life
No ones living it but you
In your hands is your chance to live the life you
choose
Lifes like music
Theres so much still unsung
Make it magic
Theres so much still to come
hey
You can write the song
And write the story
Live all of this life in all its glory
Take the time to make the time to make each
moment count
Its your life
Its your call
Grab the chance
Have it all
hey
hey
You can write the song
And write the story

14. HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING?

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too
fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your way
And how do you not run out of new things to
say?
And since we know were always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for him
It's now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in his arms I may not see forever.
Forever...
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it
grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends
I know the way I feel for him
It's now or never!
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in his arms I may not see forever
Forever...
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it
grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

15. LULLABYE (GOODNIGHT, MY ANGEL)

Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient
heart
You'll always be a part of me
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this
lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of
me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I will be
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient
heart
You'll always be a part of me
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this
lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of
me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I will be

16. OPEN ARMS

Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
And 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

But 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
