Until the Sky Breaks

To soothe the pain & memories.
I can imagine of a thousand places where I'd want to be-
only with you.
How about Sunday?
I will dream of you
and never wake
until the sky breaks.

I would change my life
just to see your face again.
I'd give up the fight for time
just to be with you, my friend.
Can't you see?
I know you can hear me
pray every night.

To lose my sanity for once.
There are a thousand thoughts to chose from
only about you.
How about just one?
I will break the rules
and never promise a swear (again)
until the sky breaks (in the end)...

I whisper.
I hope you listen.
I pray.
I you'll stay
until the sky breaks.

I haven't come up with anything to say.
There are no words to explain
what happened on that day.
Tell me if the feelings will eventually fade away;
most likely they'll stand on a reason to stay.

All we can do is cry.
All we can do is ask why.
All we can do is feel the pain inside
from losing you, from losing you,
unless there's something more that you want us to do.

We haven't come up with an answer.
We're just putting the pieces together
to figure out this mystery
of a tragedy
that will last forever.

All we can do is try.
All we can do is say goodbye.
All we can do is have the notion to fight
from losing you, from losing you,
unless there's something more that you want us to do.

And there you go up
to greet the sun.
If we had pleaded enough
you wouldn't have left so soon.
But what could you have done?
What can we do?

'Cause we don't
want to let go.
We loved you so.
And you'll never know...
how this will affect me and the rest of the world.


"To the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre. God bless and we'll never forget you."

Road Kill

I start out with one foot in the door.
I'm ready to leave
and I don't want to see you anymore,
if you can believe.

I scream out loud,
hoping someone will hear me
Cause you've held me down
long enough to kill me.

And I'm surprised
you've given me time
for a few last words.
I want to break out and be free like a bird.

But I've flown down.
It was too late for me to turn around.
And I never fel to realize it until
the car came speeding still.
And now I'm road kill.
Your love feels like road kill.

I wish I could turn back time
to help myself.
Maybe to save my life
and be my own help
and maybe end up with someone else.

But here I am
I feel like crap
and I'm trapped
Cause you've loved me so long like that.

So tell me what you want me to say.
I'll say,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

I Always Lose

So many letters written
but no response.
I'm tired of giving.
Let's keep moving on.

Cause no matter what I do
I can't get over you,
but the best thing to do
is try to make it through.

Everyday
I feel like giving up.
I don't want to get up
and face my doom.
Every night
when the world is hushed up.
And I feel out of luck
Cause I always lose.

So many days go by
and I've only progressed so far
And, please don't ask for the reason why
Cause I think I've known it from the start.

Cause no matter what I say
I can't get over the fact
that everything is okay
except what I lack.

So many people have someone
but I'm not one.
Love's no fun
when you can't turn around and see a face shine like the sun
Cause everyday I feel like giving up.

Hell of a World

He strapped a bomb to himself
whether to die alone or to kill someone else.
This place looks worst than hell.
Are we already there?

The cars are moving no more.
Pause for a moment for us to mourn.
And his mother's heart is torn... as well.
Tell me, are we already there?

The sun is disappearing.
No one is hearing
what I'm saying.
Hoping and wanting
for this hell to fade away.
The burning flames of everyday.

I step out into a cruel world
never unexpecting to get hurt,
while seeing the boys and girls
blossoming in this quarrel.

They can hear me screaming,
but they drown out the meaning.
Only trust deceiving
when they can.

And the world is like a laser
gleaming through the holes.
And its heartbeat is pounding faster.
It's just trying to save our souls.

A Farewell to the 2007 Class

I can't believe
that this is happening.
One more year
and you're out of here-
you're out of my life.

I can't believe
that this the end.
I'll have to say goodbye to you.
I don't know what to do.
A sacrifice-
I could lose my friends.

I can't believe
that you were there for me
Stuck with me through everything.
Even if the path was hard to see,
you gave me what I needed.

I can't believe it.
I don't want to believe it.
I won't believe it.

Valentine's 2007

And your love is like the never ending flame
that melts the candle within my heart.
How that I don't feel shame
when you whisper my name
as we lay in the dark.

And I thank God for this blessing to know you
even if it's only been a few weeks.
And all I want to do is hold you
and I want to show you
that the way I feel about you is deep.

If only I could have a chance
to let you see how I feel inside
and to take your gentle hand
and to feel the real meaning of romance
on some impassioned Italian night.

And if kissing be it,
the magic that sparked it all,
that gives us this happiness
and makes the candle lit
and rekindle us if we fall.

What I Miss the Most

How often will you do this?
All I wanted was another year,
another kiss
from you.
Now what do I do?
I can't figure out

What I miss the most
is the way you used to look in my eyes.
And the times you'd hold me close
all through the night.
And what I hate the most
is everytime I cry.
Oh, oh, oh
Tell me why
Why'd we have to say goodbye.

How long will you keep me up
on top of the highest pedestal?
Haven't I suffered enough?
But you still won't give up.
You still won't give up.

What I miss the most
is the way you used to look in my eyes.
And the times you'd hold me close
all through the night.
And what I hate the most
is everytime I cry.
Oh, oh, oh
Tell me why
Why'd we have to say goodbye?

Love!
Has got the best of me.
Oh,oh,oh,oh
All that I need.
is you....
is you.

You Never

If you keep coming around,
it´ll be more difficult to say goodbye.
If I had known all that I know now
I would´ve been more sensible and nice.

You never expect to say goodbye.
You never want to say good night.
You never think that you would.
You never expect to wake up at night
and find that they´ve left your side.
You never want to cry
Cause they´ve been so good.

Oh,oh
if you could help me see
where I went wrong.
Cause I'm not sure exactly
where I belong.
Cause you haunt me in my dreams
but make a beautiful sleep for me.

You never want to say goodbye.
You never want to cry
cause you never want to lie...
for me.
And I never want to know
I never want to let go
Cause I never knew you loved me so...
tenderly.

You never,
you never
told me where you'd be
when you'd leave.
You never
you never
told me
if I would see...
you again.

What About Them?

Hey, what can I say
if they won't listen?
Let's talk about today.
It's our business.

I can't change their minds
(even if I try).
How can I make them see the light
(if it doesn't shine)?
I'm about myself and what's mine.
Forget about the rest of mankind.

But what about them?
They're hanging on the end of a limb.
How cruel we've all been.
What message are we trying to send?
Think about the children.
(Their chances are growing slim.)
What about them?

They're growing so
before my eyes.
I don't want to let go,
but soon you'll have to realize.

That
You can't start a fire
(without a flame).
If it doesn't have a desire
(it'll stay the same)
And you aren't the one to blame.
And you aren't the one to be shamed.

But what about them?
They're hanging on the end of a limb.
How cruel we've all been.
What message are we trying to send?
(Their chances are growing slim.)
What about them?

And what else is there to say?
What else can I do today?
This is a dangerous game we're trying to play.
We're lost in the dark and don't know our way.

STUPID KISSES

Why does the best always happen to her?
Is she life's favorite flower?
Why can't I forget this?
All it was was a kiss.

Hey, why don't you listen?
You're too busy to even pay attention!
Tell me
why did you give in?
Maybe I'm too stubborn to get it.
They're playing around in my head.
All of these stupid kisses!

I've grown so mad
ever since I realized you're not coming back.
But I don't have to blame you.
But I'm just stuck and don't know what to do.
I pray to God I wish I knew the truth.

Hey, why don't you listen?
You're too busy to even pay attention!
Tell me
why did you give in?
Maybe I'm too stubborn to get it.
They're playing around in my head.
All of those stupid kisses!

When I see you,
I see my life slip by.
I wish I could read your mind.
And be your type.
I think I've committed a crime.
I think I've crossed the line.
I wish I could turn back time.
Then you'd be mine-
All mine!

Hey, why didn't I listen?
I was too busy to even pay attention.
I ask,
why did I give in?
Maybe I'm too stubborn to get it.
All of these stupid kisses.
Have got me thinking about all you've said.
They're playing around in my head.
And I could have been the one getting all of these...
precious kisses instead.

So Personal

Too much going on.
How can we stay strong?
What's the meaning of this song
if you get the interpretation wrong?

Too much "he said, she said".
I think about it while laying in the bed.
Seeing them together makes me sick in the head.
I wish he loved me instead.

So confused from the past.
How long will this last?
Maybe I'm a step ahead and going too fast.
Maybe I have my hopes up too high for anyone to grasp.

Am I too hard on you?
I don't know what to do.
I'm too embarrassed to come to You.
Just help me through.

Oh, and how I love you.
Oh, and how I miss you.
Oh, and how I need You.
Oh, and how bad I want you.

So personal,
so personal.
I'm trying to be careful
not to blow my cover.
Cause you don't want to know what's up under.

Keeping It Together

Try hard as we might.
Try not to start a fight
cause I can't control myself.

Lost in a confusing light.
Just one slash of a knife
can be my source of harm or help.

Keeping it together
can be one of the hardest things to do
When we're together,
whenever I'm with you.
My little piece of heaven
has fallen through.
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Just keeping it together
has no chance of being soon.

Try hard as hell.
Try not to fail.
I can only do what I can.

But my mind is a boat without a sail.
I've gone crazy, can't you tell?
Tell me, do you understand?

I think I'm gonna go crazy (one of these days).
I think I'm gonna go crazy (totally insane).
I think I'm gonna go crazy (lost forever).
I think I'm gonna go crazy (tryna keep it together)!

By the Bullet

By the bullet.
By the gun.
You're so full of it-
the light of the sun.

Cause I'm in love with you,
but you never knew.
And I don't know what to do
when all that's killing me is the truth.

You stole my heart.
And you're running
and leaving me behind.
I should have known from the start.
But love is so cunning.
And it's left me to die.

I love feeling this way,
but I never thought to say.
It would be more than just okay
if I could have you to stay.

Die (in this dark room).
Lie (without you)
Why (must I go through)
...This alone....
I want you to hold.

By the bullet
By the gun.
Why'd you do it?
Why'd we have to love?

Something I Can't Get Over

It's always raining in my head.
I wish the sun would shine instead.
But as long as I'm in bed,
crying over you,
there's nothing I can do.

And I'm looking out of the window
hoping to find an answer.
Why do I love you so?
It's something I can't get over.
Tell me,'cause I need you so badly.
Without you, I'm never happy.
And it's something I can't get over.
It's something I won't get over.

Now that we've gone our seperate ways,
there's nothing good to look for anyway.
No matter what you try to say,
without you, I can't be okay.

Cause it hurts inside to be alone.
To have to depend to survive on your own.
Without your one true love to consol.
I'm here watching my life go...

It's somethig I won't get over. (No matter how hard I try)
It's something I can't get over. (Not even with all my might.)
It's something I won't get over. (This feeling I have inside.)
And it won't be over 'til the day I die.

After Last July

All I have is the voice
to remember her by
and the visions of her smile
in my mind.
"Just let it go"
That's what everybody says,
but I can't.
It's not that easy always.

Let's say she's still alive.
What would she say?
Why, everyday, do I act this way?
She flows through my blood inside.
Let's say she's still here.
What would she do?
Would she wipe my tears
and ease my fears?
And she beats in my heart inside.

And it's been 9 months
since I kissed her hand
and felt her skin.
But it's been fun
to cherish all the moments within.
Just let it pass.
That's what I try to do everyday,
but I can't.
I try to have her wake,
but she still lays.

All I have are the memories
that we shared.
And they let me know she cared.
"Don't dwell",
that's what she says,
but we both know well,
it won't be the same...

Oh, no, it won't be the same

Spero Stai Bene

Spero stai bene.
Cause it's been so long
too long to count the days.
Sento la tua mancanza.
Oh, I miss you everyday.

Breathing was easy
when I was with you.
Living, instead of grieving-
Now what do I do?
Ora che cosa faccio?

And here.
in lonely, empty world.
It's more quiet than before.
Il sole e le stelle
watch over me
when I sleep...

Dreaming was easy
when you were here with me.
Seeing was intriguing.
Now what memories can I keep?
Ora che cosa faccio?

Oh, somewhere, wherever you are.
Oh, there, you take care.
I'll rest on your arm.
I hope you are well.
Wherever you are,
I hope you are well.

Catching Butterflies

A little girl,
no more than 6 years old,
stands out in the yard.
Blowing dandilions,
sipping honey suckles,
dealing with all the time she's got.

And she likes catching butterflies in her net.
She thinks you're the sun in her eyes
or the gold around her neck.
She likes the color blue
if you guessed.
She knows more about you
than the flowers on her dress.

This sweet girl,
with no more than lent in her hair,
frolics and calls it "dancing with the air".
Well, I never knew her name,
I just played her games
and put her picture in a frame.

The girl who catches butterflies and
then lets them go.
It may come as a surprise,
if you knew she was alone.
Catching butterflies without a care
in the world-
a little girl no more than 6 years old.

She knows, she knows, she knows...
about catching butterflies.

Cups

I saw you.
How could you?
Do you have a heart inside?
Don't say you didn't mean it
oh, babe, cause I won't believe it.
Face it, you did wrong.

I saw cups fly.
The sound of them shatter on the floor
still plays in my mind
and how she cried,
when you left out the door.

It scares me.
It tears between
my emotions for you.
I seemed so happy
until I found out what it is that you do.

I saw cups fly.
The sound of love getting ready to die
still shows the light
and how she lied,
when you said goodbye.

The Night We Let Go

I was at a party with my friends.
Before it started, I knew this was the end.
I saw you, baby.
You looked up with those blue eyes.
The same ones you gave me when you lied.

On the night we let go,
I saw some things I never thought I would
and let me know
all I should've been told.
Thank you for the night we let go.

Was it a foolish mistake I made?
Why was I so stupid of the price I paid?
Well, things cost alot
, but not as much as I had lost.
Silly, how was the game?

You looked up with those blue eyes.
You caught me by surprise.
I should have realized.
How dumb was I...
on the night we let go?
