1. A MILLION LOVE SONGS



Put your head against my life, what do you hear
A million words just trying to make
The love song of the year
Close your eyes but don't forget what you have heard
A girl who’s trying to say three words
The words that make me scared

A million love songs later
And here I am trying to tell you that I care
A million love songs later and here I am

Looking to the future now this is what I see
A million chances pass me by

A million chances to hold you
Take me back, take me back to where I used to be
And hide away from all my truths
Through the light I see

A million love songs later
And here I am trying to tell you that I care
A million love songs later and here I am

A million love songs later
And here I am trying to tell you that I care
A million love songs later and here I am
A million love songs later and here I am

2. I AM YOU




How many times
Are you gonna take it
Look in my eyes
Help me make this make sense

Night after night
You sat up and cried
Wondering when you're gonna see things clearer
You don't even realise
That at this very moment
You're talking to yourself in the mirror

It's true
So you think I'm strong but you're feelin that you're weak
Baby I'm you
But we're one in the same so you're just as strong as me
Baby I'm you
And we deserve better it's time for us to leave
You know what to do
Cause I'm not a fool
So neither are you
Baby I'm you

Oh you're not crazy
If only you'd realize

That you and I
Have all the help we need

So why are we sitting here on the floor
(listen to me)
We ain't cryin no more
I am your soul
I am your heart
My strength is yours (Oh my strength is yours)

Baby it's true
So you think I'm strong but you're feelin that you're weak
Baby I'm you
But we're one in the same so you're just as strong as me
Baby I'm you
And we deserve better it's time for us to leave
You know what to do
Cause I'm not a fool
So neither are you
Baby I'm you

So pick yourself up right now
We've been here too long
We've overstayed it enough
That might have been
It's been a long time gone

So wipe away the tears
Ain't nothing for us here
The time has come to move on

Oooohhhhhwwww

Baby we deserve better
And we're far too strong
To let this go on
Baby I'm you

So you think I'm strong but you're feelin that you're weak
Baby I'm you
But we're one in the same so you're just as strong as me
Baby I'm you
And we deserve better it's time for us to leave
You know what to do
Cause I'm not a fool
So neither are you

Baby I'm you [x3]

3. BLEEDING LOVE

Send "Bleeding Love" Ringtone to your Cell
Bleeding Love lyrics
Songwriters: Mccartney, Jesse; Tedder, Ryan;

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass before you know it you're frozen

But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater than the rush
That comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe


But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh, they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see

I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

4. NAKED

You could've left me on a Friday
Would've loved to at least have the weekend
To go under and stay under to
To get better and to stay better

But you had to pick a Monday
Now i've gotta go to work and get
Through 5 days
And get throught it, if i can do it, no i can't do it

There's a heartbreaking chill running through my bones
Got my clothes but i can't really feel them on
Oh no whatever i do, i'm naked, i'm naked
Without you
Can't go out can't go home can't go anywhere
Covered up but i'm still watching people stare
Oh no now what can i do, i'm naked, i'm naked without you

Trying to focus
To go unnoticed
But the harder i try to stay dry it rains
And i can't do it, no, they see through it
Yeah they see through it

There's a heartbreaking chill running through my bones
Got my clothes but i can't really feel them on
Oh no whatever i do, i'm naked, i'm naked
Without you
Can't go out can't go home can't go anywhere
Covered up but i'm still watching people stare
Oh no now what can i do, i'm naked, i'm naked without you

Inside i'm still hiding
Outside i'm just too exposed
But i know that
I should let go
But i miss you

There's a heartbreaking chill running through my bones
Got my clothes but i can't really feel them on
Oh no whatever i do, i'm naked, i'm naked
Without you
Can't go out can't go home can't go anywhere
Covered up but i'm still watching people stare
Oh no now what can i do, i'm naked, i'm naked without you

5. I AM SO INTO YOU

Boy, there you go
You're telling me that you love me
But boy you know
That you belong to another girl who loves you

You are so fine, you blow my mind
With the things you do to me
Blind, she's not blind
Things you do for me, but I know

I'm so into you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Boy, you got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do

Friends ask how could I give myself
To one who belongs to someone else
They just don't know your love's so good
That they would want it for themselves

Anyone can see, so fine, you blow my mind
With the things you do to me
Blind, she's not blind
Things you do for me, oh my God

I'm so into you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Boy, you got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do

I'm so into you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Boy, you got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do

You're not, you're not mine
You're not, you're not mine
You're not, you're not mine
You're not
What am I supposed to do

I'm so into you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Boy, you got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do

I'm so into you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Boy, you got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do

I'm so into you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Boy, you got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do

I'm so into you
Boy, you got me so confused
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm so into you

6. L.O.V.E. U



Lately I don't know what's coming over me
Keep on thinking about what we could be
Now I know we're just friends, is there more to us
Can't help thinking that just ain't enough

I'm into you and what you do
Lets make a move baby you lead the way
Head over heals is how I feel you know the deal
I think that you feel the same

Oh is this for real
Everything that you can make feel
Oh it's time that I L.O.V.E
Oh is this for true I can see myself tripping on you
And oh oh it's time that you L.O.V.E

I know some people say that
When you're friends you're friends
Make a move and your relationship ends
But I am a chancer in life and I can take my heart
Better to have loved and lost then never to have love at all

I'm into you and what you do
Let's make a move baby you lead the way

Head over heels is how I feel you know the deal
I know that you feel the same

Oh is this for real
Everything that you can make feel
Oh it's time that I L.O.V.E
Oh is this for true I can see myself tripping on you
And oh oh it's time that you L.O.V.E

Take a chance and my hand
Discover a whole new land
If we don't we'll never know what we could be

Boy you better L.O.V.E love me
Cause I am gonna L.O.V.E love you

How I'm gonna love you
I am gonna love you
Are you gonna tell me
How you're gonna love me

Oh is this for real
Everything that you can make feel
Oh it's time that I L.O.V.E
Oh is this for true I can see myself tripping on you
And oh oh it's time that you L.O.V.E

7. LOVE LETTER

I cant wait for the day to end
So I can finally see your face again
We'll find a way if this wish comes true tonight

Even though I
never met you
i still miss you
i can feel you in my dreams
and i hope that
when you wake up
just maybe you'll remember me

And now I believe that this is fate
'Cause baby we belong together
I know everything is gonna be ok
Just as long as we have each other
Through the sunshine and through the rain
I know that it'l last forever
Just last night I stayed up late
And I wrote you a love letter

I set your letter on the window pane
I thought of you as I let it fly away, and away

8. A MOMENT LIKE THIS


[Songwriters: Reid, John; Eloffson, Jorgen;]

What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me, would you agree?
It's almost that feeling that we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell your love has come here and now

A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this, some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Everything changes but beauty remains
Something so tender I can't explain
Well, I may be dreaming but till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever?
And I'll cherish all the love that we share

A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this, some people search forever

For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Could this be the greatest love of all?
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
A moment like this

9. FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND


[Songwriters: Cowell, Simon; Kreuger, David Bengt; Magnusson, Per Olof; Page, Richard;]

You walked with me, footprints in the sand
And helped me understand where I?m going
You walked with me when I was all alone
With so much I know along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you, I?m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I?ll carry you when you need a friend
You?ll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life flash across the sky
So many times have I been so afraid
And just when I have thought I lost my way
You give me strength to carry on
That?s when I heard you say


I promise you, I?m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
And I?ll carry you when you need a friend
You?ll find my footprints in the sand

When I?m weary, well, I know you?ll be there
And I can feel you when you say

I promise you, I?m always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair
I?ll carry you when you need a friend
You?ll find my footprints in the sand

I promise you, I?m always there
When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I?ll carry you when you need a friend
You?ll find my footprints in the sand

10. STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT


Hold Up… Hold on… Don’t be scared,
You’ll never change what’s been and gone.
May your smile… Shine on…
Don’t be scared,
Your destiny may keep you warm.

‘Cos all of the stars have faded away,
Just try not to worry,
You’ll see them some day.
Take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.

Get up… Come on… Why you scared?
You’ll never change what’s been and gone.

‘Cos all of the stars have faded away,
Just try not to worry,
You’ll see them some day.

Just take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.

Interlude

‘Cos all of the stars have faded away,
Just try not to worry,
You’ll see them some day.
Just take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.

When all of the stars were fading away,
Just try not to worry,
You’ll see them some day.
Just take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.

Stop crying your heart out. (X3)

11. FORGIVE ME


[Songwriters: Kelly, Claude; Thiam, Aliaune Abou; Tuinfort, Giorgio;]

There's a first time for everything
It's definitely one of them nights
I knew when I looked in his eyes
That he was gonna be trouble for me

I never wanted to lie
I knew that my baby would cry
If he knew what we were doing

But if his love don't pass the test
I gotta get it from somewhere else
Well I'm gone and I need a man
Hope he understands, forgive me baby

But I gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself and I
Can't wait no more, sitting all alone
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me

Oh oh, hope you forgive me
Oh oh, hope you forgive me
Oh oh, I can't wait no more
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me

Been a long time since I
Did something good for myself
But why should I be put through hell?
When he's doing what he wanna do

I finally found somebody else
Who really wants to make me feel
Things that I've been missing so long

And his love always passed the test
It's a shame I had to look somewhere else
Well I'm gone and I need a man

I just hope that he understands
(Forgive me baby)

But I gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself and I
Can?t wait no more, sitting all alone
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me

Oh oh, hope you forgive me
Oh oh, hope you forgive me
Oh oh, I can?t wait no more
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me

Forgive me but I need to be loved too
Forgive me but I can't wait around for you
Forgive me if I found a man
Who understands just what I need, oh

Forgive me but I need to be loved too
Forgive me if I can't wait around for you
Forgive me if I found a man who understands
Forgive me baby

But I gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself and I
Can?t wait no more, sitting all alone
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me

Oh oh, hope you forgive me
Oh oh, hope you forgive me
Oh oh, I can?t wait no more
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me

But I gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself and I
Can?t wait no more, sitting all alone
Man, I really hope, hope you forgive me
