Better Days Verse 1 I’m not the only one - I’m not the only one saying I’m not the only one saying you stepped out of line I’m not the bitter man I’m not the bitter man you left behind. Chorus: Is there a reason you’ve changed your mind? Are your decisions meant to lead the blind? Or are you just searching to find your way to live for yesterday? Verse 2: You’re not the only one, You’re not the only one with memories. You’re not the only one, You’re not the only one with pain. Chorus Bridge: Turn away let her take her fall She’s gotta learn she can lose it all Chorus Tag: Or are you just searching to find your way to live your life for better days, not yesterday.

Fighting For Control Verse 1: All that I wanted to be was on my own two feet Until you knocked me down and taught me how to bleed Pre-chorus: You’re holding on to what you’ve seen But baby time’s been good to me You’re holding on to what you think you saw.. Chorus: But baby there’s more and I need your hope You can’t be sure of what you don’t know I can be all you need - trust in me Trust in me to fix a love that’s old Verse 2: Fighting for control over what we never could own I know that you think I’ll be holding you back But since you’ve gone baby I’ve grown Pre-chorus Chorus Bridge: And when you’re on your own Tell me that you ain’t ever missing me at all And when you’re on your own Tell me you’re happy… tell me you’re whole… Chorus

Stay Verse 1: Well it’s all laughter and fun For the first few months When the charm is still turned on You’re thinking she’s the one Pre-Chorus: And then the waves - the bastard waves of time They bring the grave to our love as they sweep by so.. Chorus: Stay baby stay Don’t let the sweetness of the sirens calls carry you away Cus I won’t let them just take you back from me Hear me baby as I’m falling at your feet baby stay Verse 2: No fights since we met No it’s all been laughter and cheer But when ugly rears its head Will you still be here?

I’ll Never Say Verse 1: You can say we’re in love Just cus you say it don’t make it true I never said that I loved you What’s that you’re whispering of? I guess that you just went ahead and assumed Well babe assuming can hurt you Chorus: Take it from someone who’s been there before Take it from someone who’s been on the lines of war And I won’t say it no not even if it’s true I’ll never say that I loved you Verse 2: The one who keeps his mouth shut Wise as an owl and never shows his cuts And no one knows that he’s hurting, no… If you take the first shot Chances are it’s not long before you’re downed You know that everything comes around Chorus Verse 3: I guess we all have our turn What good is life if you never ever learn? I’ll tell you baby I’m learning Chorus

Remarkable Plans Verse 1: Only takes a moment to get it right Only takes a second to fail But if you play like a fool Suffer the rules to make it right Only takes a minute to see it through That’s when it matters the most Stay true to the girl Give her the world and she’ll hold on to you Chorus: Even through the sound of the wind and the sirens Caught my eye with a wink and a smile and I fell without a doubt Till you opened up your mouth I bet it all on a whim and a weakness Going out on a limb and it’s leafless Baby don’t you cut me down Verse 2: Maybe there’s a reason to tell the truth Maybe there’s a reason to hide But your remarkable plans lay dead in the sand Like they were made for you Baby there’s no way we can get it right Without breaking some rules Chorus Bridge: Through the sound of sirens With a wink and just a smile and You opened up your mouth Down Verse: Only takes a moment to get it right Only takes a second to fail.. Chorus: Even through the sound of the wind and the sirens Caught my eye with a wink and a smile and I fell without a doubt Till you opened up your mouth I bet it all on a whim and a weakness Going out on a limb and I need this Baby don’t you cut me down Tag: Baby don’t you cut me, baby don’t you cut me Baby don’t you cut me down.

Losing Ground Verse 1: I’ve been on my own too long I’m tired of myself I’ve been on my own two feet It’s about time that I fell You’ve noticed I’m a man of my word You’ve seen the reaction So now I plan to be a man of my heart And put my head out of action Pre-Chorus: I’d readily make another mistake if it means You’re there when I need Chorus: Someone to be around (but every time) I feel I’m losing ground (well never you mind) How long it takes me Maybe love will provide Verse 2: I need a lover who will settle the score Not try to write me a new one And though I make her feel like never before It’s my heart or my tongue would you choose one Pre-Chorus Chorus Bridge: Take me away to another place unknown Where I’m breathing again, I’m wondering when Someone will take me and love will provide I’d readily make another mistake… Chorus

Second Best Verse 1: I don’t want your promise - all I want is you I don’t need your reasons - reasons don’t ring true I don’t wanna be pushed to the side Second guessing my obsession Chorus: And I’ll be forever holding your hand The one you can stand on through stormy weather I’ll stay through the rain and hope that you’ll come back again. Verse 2: I don’t want no trouble - I don’t want no pain I just want to feel that I can make someone happy again I don’t wanna be pushed to the side Second best is still a blessing Chorus: And I’ll be forever holding your hand The one you can stand on through stormy weather I’ll stay through the rain and hope that you’ll come back to me again I hope that you’ll come back again

Fooled Me Verse 1: Did I fall for all your games? Or are you really just that innocent? Am I just another name? Baby tell me do you feel anything? Chorus: You wear that halo on your head And you fooled me baby And when you gave me your bed Well you fooled me baby And when your face was painted red You took me by surprise and you fooled me baby Verse 2: They should paint it on your door An “X” for all the ones that came before They took your lies they took your lies as truth, as gospel oh. Is there anything real; is there anything real about you? Chorus Bridge: Can you tell me what are you trying to prove by baiting my pride, I’m hung out to dry… Don’t you know that when you hide it there’s nothing to lose Is losing my love not on the line? Down Chorus Chorus You wear that halo on your head And you fooled me baby And when you gave me your bed Well you fooled me baby And when your face was painted red You took me by surprise and you laid before my eyes And you fooled me baby

Le Café De Flore Verse 1: I’m thinking about my masterpiece All these trophies on the wall I’m thinking about how young I am I’ll see the day where they fall Chorus: Tell me you’re watching me Tell me you see me from wherever you are You faded so far away Tell me you’re watching me Tell me you see me from the great halls With the white light at the door Verse 2: And never has anyone asked me why I feel I deserve to sit and write And not find my way breeding pain Washing dishes in the back room well I’d say… That you said it’s alright Chorus: Tell me you’re watching me Tell me you see me from wherever you are You faded so far away Tell me you’re watching me Tell me you see me from the great halls With the white light at the door From a distance I don’t see you anymore…
