Murderer of Love (©2010)

this is not the way i wanted it to be
never how i pictured it in my wildest dreams
my heart is growing silent, but i really want to scream

i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i guess it's true, that's what i do

i wonder how it ended up this way
i wake up in the morning and it bothers me all day
i want to make it better but there's nothing i can say

i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i guess it's true, that's what i do

i wish that i could somehow make it right
the damage has been done and no forgiveness is in sight
the one i love with all my heart cannot see the light

i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i guess it's true, that's what i do

so stop me 'fore i love again
there's nothing left to gain
i don't think I can handle
all the sorrow and the pain
i know if will get better
but I feel like i've been drained

i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i am a murderer of love
i guess it's true, that's what i do


Gone Long Gone (©2010)

i've been driving down a one way road
over my shoulder is a heavy load
i've been haulin' it around but now i'm through
gonna keep drivin' 'til I'm long, long gone
hands on the wheel but my mind's on a song
nothing's gonna stop me 'til I make my way to you

and we're rollin', rollin' again

and i've been gone from here for quite some time
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind

tired of actin' poor every single day
gonna cut loose in a great big way
promise you baby it will all be over soon
back to the hills and the great big sky
little bit of land and a whole lotta time
it's easier to breathe when you give yourself some room

and we're rollin', rollin' again

and i've been gone from here for quite some time
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind

gotta stay patient for a little more time
ain't never been there but it sure sounds fine
get a little spread i can finally call my own
it's never gonna happen if i stay right here
barely pay the rent and a six-pack of beer
it don't make sense so I guess i'll hit the road

and we're rollin', rollin' again

and i've been gone from here for quite some time
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind

i'm gone, long gone, long gone good-bye
i'm gone, long gone, long gone good-bye
i'm gone, long gone, long gone good-bye


Sun Goes Down (©2007)

you're going nowwhere slowly, i'm going nowhere fast
you are the one and only, i know i won't outlast
you always come and go, i come by now and then
through years of highs and lows you've been my constant friend

i've been waiting 'round for something more
i've been waiting 'round, don't know what i'm waiting for

sun goes down and everybody gathers 'round
sun goes down and nothing's changed and no one's found
sun goes down for a hundred thousand million years
sun goes down on my ocean of tears

you've been around forever, i'm sure you've heard it all
well, here's another good one, it's probably typical
nothing seems to make much sense to me
just when everthing is going good i have to leave

i've been waiting here to turn the tide
i've been waiting here and now it's finally on my side

sun goes down and everybody gathers 'round
sun goes down and nothing's changed and no one's found
sun goes down for a hundred thousand million years
sun goes down on my ocean of tears

someday i know i'll probably understand
someday some way
somehow i know i'll finally work it out
someday, i hope it's not too late

you've seen it all a million times before
it makes me wonder what i even came here for
i guess i'll turn around and say my good-byes
truth of the matter is you never were that wise

i've been waiting here to turn the tide
i've been waiting here and now it's finally on my side

sun goes down and everybody gathers 'round
sun goes down and nothing's changed and no one's found
sun goes down for a hundred thousand million years
sun goes down on my ocean of tears
sun goes down on my ocean of tears
sun goes down on my ocean of fears



Rain Again (©2010)

Here comes the rain again
Just like an old lost friend
Like breathing oxygen

Here comes another storm
This time it’s gonna pour
I guess that’s just the score
Why can’t the rain just wash away my pain

It’s really comin’ down
I wonder if I’ll drown
Don’t even make a sound

Those clouds keep a-rollin’ in
They’re building up again
Lightenin’ and thunderin’
Why can’t the rain just wash away my pain

Well I’m rollin’ down my window
Gonna put my hand outside
That summer breeze is blowin’
And there’s nowhere left to hide
I might as well just open up my arms
Let it bury me alive
One thing I can count on is
Here comes the rain again

Here comes another day
There’s nothing left to say
Why don’t we walk away

There’s nothing left unsaid
So why get out of bed
It’s all inside my head
Why can’t the rain just wash away my pain

You might think that I’m okay if you
Sat down and talked to me all day long
I would never admit that there’s only
One thing that is keeping me strong
I wonder what else I can do
I know that I will make it through
I hope that don’t go insane while I’m
Standin’ in the rain

Here comes the rain again
Just like an old lost friend
Lightenin’ and thunderin’ yeah


It's Too Late (©2009)

Three years down the road
from the first time that you told
me that you didn't love me any more.
Did you think that things would change?
Well, the whole thing seems so strange.
I thought that I could fix it all before
it's too late.

There was nothing left to gain.
Just regret and pain.
You put me through it time and time again.
I'm not hangin' 'round
'cause one thing that I've found
is I don't need another friend.
It's too late.

It's too late to wonder why.
It's too late. Don’t waste your time.
It's too late to even try.
It's too late.
It's too late and there's no way out.
It's too late to scream and shout.
It's too late there can be no doubt.
It's too late.

You told me you were through.
There was nothing I could do.
I wouldn't let myself admit it's true.
You were pushing me away
every night and every day.
And I was holding on though I knew
it's too late.

It's too late to wonder why.
It's too late. Don’t waste your time.
It's too late to even try.
It's too late.
It's too late and there's no way out.
It's too late to scream and shout.
It's too late there can be no doubt.
It's too late.

Why did I cling so tight
to something so not right?
It doesn't make much sense to me.
It's really no surprise,
So, why not cut the ties?
I guess I just can't quit so easily.

It's time to set things straight.
No need to sit and wait.
Our time has come and gone.
It's just too late.

It's too late to wonder why.
It's too late. Don’t waste your time.
It's too late to even try.
It's too late.
It's too late and there's no way out.
It's too late to scream and shout.
It's too late there can be no doubt.
It's too late.
