Lorraine, Lorraine, why can’t you see it Lorraine, Lorraine, why don’t you feel it I really mean it, you’re in an awful way Lorraine, Lorraine, I think you know it Lorraine, Lorraine, something is broken Please be awoken, I’m begging you to stay There’s nowhere to fly, and nowhere to land You consider it all too much It’s drawing you in, and taking you out It’s tearing your soul apart Lorraine, Lorraine, you can’t conceal it Lorraine, Lorraine, look in the mirror No longer a dreamer, never seen yourself so blue There’s nowhere to fly, and nowhere to land You consider it all too much It’s drawing you in, and taking you out It’s tearing your soul apart Lorraine, Lorraine Lorraine, Lorraine

Better With You I can tell how you feel by the look in your eye And I'm falling' Such a strange surprise And I can already see what's comin' down the line Mmm-hmmmm I'm lost in the sound, won't you stay for a while 'Cause right now I, I feel like I'm flying I can already see the way you set me free Mmm-hmmmm And on my darkest days My thoughts only get in the way You take me to a place I can turn to you and say Every single day Ooh my life is better with you Better with you Ooh my life is better with you Better with you Now that we're here, I cannot stop What you started Don't make me decide because I'm already here In the space I wanna be Mmm-hmmmm It comes across in waves (I feel the change) I'm no longer afraid (You make me brave) My hesitation fades (far away) As I turn to you and say Every single day Ooh my life is better with you Better with you Ooh my life is better with you Better with you My life is better with you (Ooooh) My life is better with you Ooh my life is better with you Better with you Ooh my life is better with you Better with you My life is better with you

Hold on Hold on Don't be scared You'll never change what's been and gone May your smile (may your smile) Shine on (shine on) Don't be scared (don't be scared) Your destiny may keep you warm 'Cause all of the stars are fading away Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday Take what you need, and be on your way And stop crying your heart out Get up (get up) Come on (come on) Why're you scared? (I'm not scared) You'll never change what's been and gone 'Cause all of the stars are fading away Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday Take what you need, and be on your way And stop crying your heart out 'Cause all of the stars are fading away Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday Just take what you need, and be on your way And stop crying your heart out We're all of the stars, we're fading away Just try not to worry, you'll see us some day Just take what you need, and be on your way And stop crying your heart out Stop crying your heart out Stop crying your heart out Stop crying your heart out

Happiness 02:42
I used to think that our love Was as big as an ocean But that was then Just a silly notion I've been down every road you laid Believing the words you said I'm done with the masquerade I'm goin' back to me I should have seen the symptoms That you didn't care anymore Stayin' out all night Brushin' off my attention I can't ignore When it means that much to me You should reciprocate how I feel Now our love seems in complete I'm goin' back to me No matter where the sun sets (I'll be feelin' fine) That's where I'm gonna go (it's good to be alive) I will find happiness without you Without you (without you) Without you (without you) I will find happiness (yes I will, yes I will) I will find happiness (believe me) I will find happiness (oh baby) I will find happiness (yes I will, yes I will)

LOVE IN THE DARK Lyrics by Shannon Hurley In the shadows where we meet again I get lost in your kiss How do I stop from going too far When it feels like this You’ve got a girl who’s got everything But she takes you for granted So let me give you all that I can give To take away your sadness I know you’ll never leave her so I’m down I’m gonna give you my heart As long as you want me, I will be around To give you love in the dark (ohh) It’s dangerous to be close to you But I can’t stop There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do Don’t care about the cost Do I choose fiction or reality? So sad we have to pretend Isn’t obvious to all who see That we are more than just friends I know you’ll never leave her so I’m down I’m gonna give you my heart As long as you want me, I will be around To give you love in the dark I know you’ll never leave her so I’m down I’m gonna give you my heart As long as you want me, I will be around To give you love in the dark (ohh) Can’t give it, can’t give it up This love in the dark Can’t give it, can’t give it up This love in the dark Can’t give it, can’t give it up This love in the dark Can’t give it, can’t give it up This love in the dark

Where We Belong We cried for the children Our world was broken A shadow had fallen on us We wept for the future Our spirits diminished All we ever wanted was trust We ran through the dark to the edge of the night We made it through to the other side Where we belong Where we belong We lost our direction But we didn't lose the lesson Or the cause that we'd been fighting so long Pain didn't make us falter It only made us stronger And now we come together as one We ran through the dark to the edge of the night We made it through to the other side Where we belong Where we belong Where we belong Where we belong, aah Hope's getting nearer Thanks to the heroes A change is coming to this world Don't give up the fight The end is in sight How long we have waited for those words We ran through the dark to the edge of the night We made it through to the other side Where love finds a way, we can see a new day And hope is a light that shines Where we belong Where we belong Where we belong Where we belong, aah Where we belong, aah

You like the attention Everyone was crowded around But there was one thing You didn't count on When I look in your eyes I can tell there's something wrong All I see is lies You are barely holding on To your deception Sweet deception You didn't wanna cause a scene You didn't wanna panic Even though you Knew it was dangerous I look in your eyes I can tell there's something wrong All I see is lies You are barely holding on To your deception (Aaah) Sweet deception (Aaah) Your deception (Aaah) Sweet deception (Aaah) Come clean come clean Or I won't come round no more I bleed I bleed Can you tell me what for When I look in your eyes I can tell there's something wrong All I see is lies You are barely holding on When I look in your eyes I can tell there's something wrong All I see is lies You are barely holding on To your deception (Aaah) Sweet deception (Aaah) Your deception (Aaah) Sweet deception (Aaah) Your deception (Aaah) Sweet deception (Aaah) Your deception (Aaah) Sweet deception (Aaah)

Her hair is Harlow gold Her lips a sweet surprise Her hands are never cold She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll turn her music on you You won't have to think twice She's pure as New York snow She got Bette Davis eyes And she'll tease you, she'll unease you All the better just to please you She's precocious, and she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blush She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes She'll let you take her home It whets her appetite She'll lay you on a throne She got Bette Davis eyes She'll take a tumble on you Roll you like you were dice Until you come out blue She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll expose you, when she snows you Off your feet with the crumbs, she throws you She's ferocious and she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blush All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes (Aah Aaah) Bette Davis eyes (Aah Aaah) Bette Davis eyes (Aah Aaah) Bette Davis eyes

Goodbye Baby 03:32
Goodbye Baby Though it’s not easy I’ve got a new life to make I didn’t want to change but you leave me no choice in the matter You laid it all out like cards on the table to take You saw my future I could no longer resist your greatest desire Everywhere I look, it’s the same love It’s time I take a look all around I’ll move on, I’m walking in the sun because I know it’s what you’d want me to do I’ll take a step and I’ll be fine, I’ll make the most of life, I’ll do it for you Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye I took a snapshot in my mind of you and me and I remember How you loved to be the center of attention But I guess that was the end of an era It hardly seems fair Time has a habit of vanishing into thin air Instead of getting lost in the winter I’ll learn to look for gold and the silver I’ll move on, I’m walking in the sun because I know it’s what you’d want me to do I’ll take a step and I’ll be fine, I’ll make the most of life, I’ll do it for you Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye I’ll move on, I’m walking in the sun because I know it’s what you’d want me to do I’ll take a step and I’ll be fine, I’ll make the most of life, I’ll do it for you Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye Now I’m saying goodbye baby, goodbye
