STRENGTH LYRICS

 
Heaven or hell

You broke my heart
When you broke my face
It came apart
When you brought disgrace
And I'll never know
What's on your mind

Well I took my blows
And I took my pain
There was nothing lost
And there's nothing gained
But I know that down deep
In your heart there's a place that's
Much finer than the
Look in your eyes

Don't you wanna go to Heaven
Why you live your life in hell
Baby everything's forgiven
It's Heaven or Hell

It tore me up
And it pushed me round
And it turned my everything
Upside down
And I still l luv u
And I don't know why

So the time has come
that you come to me
turn our messed up notes
into harmony
'Cause we're humming a song that
we don't really know
let's get back to the one that
we knew long ago

Don't you wanna go to Heaven
Why you live your life in hell
Baby everything's forgiven
It's Heaven or Hell

Can't you try to roll a seven
Can't you try to ring a bell
Baby everything's forgiven
It's heaven or hell

And I know that down
Deep in your heart there's a
Place that's much finer
I know then the look on your face.

Don't you wanna go to Heaven
Why you live your life in hell
Baby everything's forgiven
It's Heaven or Hell

Can't you try to roll a seven
Can't you try to ring a bell
Baby everything's forgiven
It's heaven or hell
 
 
Missing you

I'm feelin like I'm needin'  a drink
Here I am
Without you
I can't go on I can't even think
I'm a man
Who can't do
What I'm need to do
to get over you

After all that we've been thru
'Cause I'm wantin you
and I'm need you
and I'm missin you
Oh I'm missin you

You left with out a trace
and no one can take your place
'cause I'm missin you
Oh' I'm missin you
I can't believe your gone
How am I to carry on
Missin you

I love you and I need you so much
And you're tearin me apart
You've been so cold you don't keep in touch
'N' all I want is a fresh start

And I hope I Do Get over you
After all that we've been thru
'Cause I'm wantin you
and I'm need you
and I'm missin you
Oh I'm missin you

You left with out a trace
and no one can take your place
'cause I'm missin you
Oh' I'm missin you
I can't believe your gone
How am I to carry on
Missin you

And I hope I Do Get over you
After all that we've been thru
'Cause I'm wantin you
and I'm need you
and I'm missin you
Oh I'm missin you

You left with out a trace
and no one can take your place
'cause I'm missin you
Oh' I'm missin you
I can't believe your gone
How am I to carry on
Missin you

I can't believe your gone
How am I to carry on
You left with out a trace
Now no one can take your place
'Cause I'm missin you
Oh I'm missin you
I can't believe your gone
How am I to carry on
 
 
Strength

Now is no time
to judge our love
with all the mess around us times are tough

And I know it takes
more than I give now
to build a world where you and I can live

But I need you now
to help me through
to be the one
I know is true
To hold my hand
to keep the faith
to be my guard
to be my strength

I know that I
want you to be mine
Friend for life
the arms that comfort me

But baby
It's gonna take some time
to be like others
to build a world to build a family

But I need you now
to help me through
to be the one
I know is true
To hold my hand
to keep the faith
to be my guard
to be my strength

But I need you now
to help me through
to be the one
I know is true
To hold my hand
to keep the faith
to be my guard
to be my strength
 
 
In Crowd

To live to be in the public eye
Is so miserable
to have to dress a certain way
is so miserable
to run your life by what people say
is so miserable

My hair's too long
and you can't pronounce my name
my favorite songs everybody says are lame

I've just been rejected by the in crowd
my life's not affected
by the in crowd

always have cool things to say
is so miserable
always have cool chicks to lay
is so miserable
to always have to have a look
is so miserable
to have to live your life by the book
is so miserable

I can't find love no matter how I try
But I don't mind
cuz it takes you for a ride

I've just been rejected by the in crowd
my life's not affected
by the in crowd

I'm so unselected
I'm so unrespected
Who is the in crowd any ways

My hair's too long
and you can't pronounce my name
my favorite songs everybody says are lame
I can't find love
No it's just a losing game

I've just been rejected by the in crowd
my life's not affected
by the in crowd
 
 
Hollywood ya

today I wanna send the papers
tomorrow gonna blow it off
then I'm gonna tell the neighbors
I've finally had enuff

I'm livin on paper money
but the paper ain't thick enuff
to pay the price of lovin somethin
I just don't seem to love

Hollywood ya be my merry-go-round
In this hard stone cold world
that's got my feet on the ground
and all the seasons taste bad
in my  mouth
and it's got me down
Hollywood ya

I haven't got time for wondering
ain't makin no time for hope
gotta be doin something
instead of gettin hooked on dope

It's got me over the barrel
but I feel like standin up
life ain't always fair now baby
controlling your own luck
Hollywood ya be my merry-go-round
In this hard stone cold world
that's got my feet on the ground
and all the seasons taste bad
in my  mouth
and it's got me down
Hollywood ya

Hollywood ya try to keep my head on right
hollywood ya fill my hungry appetite
oh Holly could i find the fruit and take a bite

you  gotta stand here in my corner
as I win this fight

I'm livin on paper money
but the paper ain't thick enuff
to pay the price of lovin somethin
I just don't seem to love

Hollywood ya be my merry-go-round
In this hard stone cold world
that's got my feet on the ground
and all the seasons taste bad
in my  mouth
and it's got me down
Hollywood ya
 
 
The world is a gutter

get your crack here
your guns
whores
anything

here is your world
world that you made
made it destroy you
oh what a world
screwed up young girls
all unemployed too

you can't touch nobody
trust nobody
be somebody
oh ho no

crack, junkies, gun
sluts 'n' cocaine
men killin men
feelin no pain
we've all gone insane
the world is a gutter

why's it today
that things are this way
and what have we done here
the money we pay
they tax it away
for nothin we see clear

all the poor are dying
war planes flying
drugs been buying
oh ho no

crack, junkies, gun
sluts 'n' cocaine
men killin men
feelin no pain
we've all gone insane
the world is a gutter

crack, junkies, gun
sluts 'n' cocaine
men killin men
feelin no pain
we've all gone insane
the world is a gutter

Stay with your race
and your color face
that don't sound like brothers
the heat on your case
cuz you can't erase
what you've done to others

it's to late to save us
fate has gave us
in' that claim us
oh ho no

crack, junkies, gun
sluts 'n' cocaine
men killin men
feelin no pain
we've all gone insane
the world is a gutter
 
 
 good-bye

pretty women drive me out of my head
she said a lot of thing she should not have said
and i know the feelings for her in my heart are dead
cuz now we're sleeping separate beds

now that the blue's turned to gray
now that our hearts long to stray
there's nothin warm there's nothin true
with every staged kiss goodnight
I guess it's better that suicide
not touchin me not touchin you

Now that time has took it's toll on our love
and there is no magic in it left
and the only words i can think of are good-bye babe

why should i care what you do
after the pain that we've been through
I guess that's all we've shared as two
and i know it's easier to stay
But we can't just walk away
it's killin me it's kill you
 

Now that time has took it's toll on our love
and there is no magic in it left
and the only words i can think of are good-bye babe

pretty women drive me out of my head
she said a lot of thing she should not have said
and i know the feelings for her in my heart are dead
cuz now we're sleeping separate beds

Now that time has took it's toll on our love
and there is no magic in it left
and the only words i can think of
 are good-bye babe
 are good-bye babe
 are good-bye babe
 are good-bye babe
 are good-bye babe
 
 
Long way to go

I met her on a weekend
she didn't have no boyfriend
every vibe that she'd shed
told me what i need to know
don't wanna take it too slow
we've done a whole lot of shaken
but we still gotta long way to go

do it the back seat
do it on a dark street
in between the bed sheets
anywhere two lovers can go

Don't wanna take it too slow
We've done a whole lot of shaken
but we still gotta long way to go

underneath a full moon
in the little girls room
listen to the old tunes
ya anyway two loves can go
Don't wanna take it too slow
We've done a whole lot of shaken
but we still gotta long way to go
We've done a whole lot of shaken
but we still gotta long way to go
We've done a whole lot of shaken
but we still gotta long way to go
 
 
Mother's eyes

isn't it wrong
and isn't is strange
that a man goes by the color of his face
and isn't it time
we've drawn the line
and decide to become a human race

behind my mother's eyes
what makes a man so tough
that he don't care if anybody lives or dies
give him some love
give him some love
it might say your life

night after night
I say the same prayer
and if anybody's listening out there
give it a break
it's all give and take
and the taken and given isn't fair

behind my mother's eyes
what makes a man so tough
that he don't care if anybody lives or dies
give him some love
give him some love
it might say your life

I'm just a man
who don't understand
why is one man not just like another man
nothing can change
til we arrange
all of life's important fingers on one hand yeah

behind my mother's eyes
what makes a man so tough
that he don't care if anybody lives or dies
give him some love
give him some love
it might say your life
 
 
Baby loves you

you know I
I got a little problem
I have to be the one
second guy to none

Well I've got a pretty little girlfriend
who tells me all the time
she'll be forever mine
and she says..

that your baby loves you
yes your baby loves you
when your baby loves you
then nothing's gonna hurt you

some nights
i lie here with eyes open
with so much on my mind
my teeth begin to grind

and she'll just hold me
and bring me to my senses
and everything's ok
when I will hear her say

that your baby loves you
yes your baby loves you
when your baby loves you
then nothing's gonna hurt you

love me tonight
love me tonight
come on pretty baby
won't you love me tonight
hat your baby loves you
yes your baby loves you
when your baby loves you
then nothing's gonna hurt you
 
 
Blue island

things used to be so good
made love the best we could
but at times when I should
have understood
that we would be what we'd be

all she'd do wa complain
all I acted was insane
she came out of the rain
found out my game
i took a plane
nothing's the same

my baby doll
i left her back in blue island
thru it all
all she got from me was pain
come a day
when we forgot the time we spent crying
I'll be around my baby doll

hung out with all my friends
some weekends never ended
but again and again
I made her fend
for herself
left her unattended

my baby doll
i left her back in blue island
thru it all
all she got from me was pain
come a day
when we forgot the time we spent crying
I'll be around my baby doll

look back there was so much fun
hung out with nearly everyone
she slept the nights when I never saw the sun
she cooled down i left my motor run
if i could get her back some day
I would do things in a different way
remember all the things you say
and baby I'll remember your birthday

my baby doll
i left her back in blue island
thru it all
all she got from me was pain
come a day
when we forgot the time we spent crying
I'll be around my baby doll
I'll be around my baby doll
I'll be around my baby doll
I left her back in Blue island
 
 
the way home

a little spark has started fire
my will to be alone is over now
I'd slay the dragon
walk a wire
this little girl just takes me
higher higher and higher

if I lose her
my everything would crumble
If  i lose her
life would not be the same
If I lose her
my world would take a tumble
in her eyes
I see the light
I see the way home

She makes me wanna be a man
I take a little pride in being with her
She moves me anyway she can
just what she sees in me
I'll never understand

if I lose her
my everything would crumble
If  i lose her
life would not be the same
If I lose her
my world would take a tumble
in her eyes
I see the light
I see the way home
 
 
 
Coming home

taken from the best years of your life
took your main intentions
and replaced them with a knife
gunfire ringing
thru your weary mind
fighting for your life
a hell on earth
but now it's over

and we're all there to greet you
cause there's no one could beat you
though we can't hardly reach you
you're comin home

what went thru your mind
after the kill
will nightmare wake you up
I know they probably always will
trying to pick up where you left behind
they put you in a war
a hell on earth but now it's over

and we're all there to greet you
cause there's no one could beat you
though we can't hardly reach you
you're comin home

Good to see you hate to be you
but we're all there to greet you
you're comin home

something for free

you're feelin like the world
fell down around you
you're feelin like you just don't even care
and all that hate and hurt that seemed to find you
and stealing may be all that gets you there

when everybody seems to talk behind you
and you can't believe a word nobody says
and the pill in the bottom of the bottle
where I've come to find you
is your best friend
well that's all gotta end

Cuz baby
you got somethin' from me
somethin' for you
something for free
you got somethin' from me
somethin' for you
something for free

it's so sad the way you don't want to talk about it
and playing all your money on one hand
when anything goes smooth you tend to doubt it
but understand
that everything in life you've got to pay for
and you can't avoid every unpleasant thing
if life's so bad then tell me what you stay for

well here's one thing baby here's
here's one simple thing that you got

you got somethin' from me
somethin' for you
something for free
you got somethin' from me
somethin' for you
something for free

you got somethin' from me
somethin' for you
something for free
you got somethin' from me
somethin' for you
something for free

it's so sad the way you don't want to talk about it
and playing all your money on one hand
when anything goes smooth you tend to doubt it
but understand
 
Time to let you go

You've lost that feelin in your kiss
I'm only holding up the show
my god your face i'm gonna miss
But I see it's time to let you go

You don't dig lovin me no more
we used to make it long and slow
I've cried so long my eyes are sour
I see it's time to let you go

It ain't no good if it don't feel good
real good, it still felt good to me
if you feel you should it's understood
go where you should be

take everything that smells like you
leave no reminders left to show
that at one time that we were two
but now it's time to let you go
