Just Let It Go

I thought it was all I ever wanted,

The feeling was unforgettable but now it’s gone,

You used to be the only one, not now—

We have both come so far.

I used to dream of looking in your eyes,

Find the perfect moment and bring it home,

But I traded dreams for reality—

Hope traded in for a piece of sanity.

I’m still haunted by my past

And now I’m wondering if she’ll last.

Just let it go.

Come with me, we’ll leave it all,

Hold my hand and whisper in my ear

Help me see what I really need.

Stand right here next to me,

Smile and let’s run away—

Show me who I want to be.

By night I forget what I’ve been told

I walk where wrong starts to feel like right,

I search for salvation but find none here.

She lingers around each corner I turn,

No matter where I go she’s here next to me—

It’s unforgettable, how far we’ve come,

I once thought that you were the one,

But I’ll walk the streets forever alone

With the peace I’ve made in my endeavors.

By night I try to tell myself to

Just let it go

Come with me, we’ll leave it all,

Hold my hand and whisper in my ear

Help me see what I really need.

Stand right here next to me,

Smile and let’s run away—

Show me who I want to be.

The world around us never sleeps,

I didn’t think I would ever be enough.

My thoughts drift so far away,

I never thought I would be standing here

Completely sure what I really want.

Freedom eats away at me, I see it—

True peace lingers in her eyes

And I’m ready to try to fight for it—

I’m ready to die if I must—

I’m ready to remind myself to

Just let it go.

Just let it go.

Come with me, we’ll leave it all,

Hold my hand and whisper in my ear

Help me see what I really need.

Stand right here next to me,

Smile and let’s run away—

Show me who I want to be.

Just let it go.

Show me who I want to be.

Just let it go.

Just let it go.

Turn Back Time (Lyrics)

I walked the streets without a name,

I wished that someday you might feel the same—

My mind blank as night turned to day,

Face blank to what I had to say.

She looked so pretty in the light,

I tried to speak—she left my sight.

Never will I tell her my regret

I just pray we will both forget

  

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Sleepless nights are my best friends,

Counting stars till we meet the end.

I stand by you, try to speak—

Slowly thoughts begin to leak.

Now eyes begin to drift away,

All I want is for you to stay

But he’s the one who hears you,

And he’s the one who holds you.

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide

Hoping that words will turn back time

Bloodshot eyes affixed in a glance,

Tears down my cheeks as you begin to dance,

My heart beats—I can’t stand to glimpse,

With each breath I begin to wince.

And when he looks into your eye,

I breathe and hope I’m soon to die—

Left alone in memories of you

Walking alone in a world without you

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Hoping that words will turn back time

Hoping that words will turn back time

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Hoping that words will turn back time

Juliet

Lying face down in the streets,

Praying to stay sane, never giving in

I don’t always say what I mean

But then again I don’t always win

I’d rather not fall in love

Don’t want to pray for distance

Then again it might be fun

Might never be a difference

Take me away

And hold my hand

We could slip away

Hand in hand

It’s all I’ll ever know

Hand in hand

It’s all I know

What do you think I should say?

Biting my lips, sitting in the rain

A bus will take me away

Out the window, staring at stars again

I thought that I heard your voice

But there’s no one left around

I’ve forgotten how to breathe

I’ve learned I’ll never get out of this town

Take me away

And hold my hand

We could slip away

Hand in hand

It’s all I’ll ever know

Hand in hand

It’s all I know

I’d rather not fall in love

I’ll remain unseen, never have to speak

Juliet sits in the rain,

Don’t know what to say, never felt so weak

Take me away

And hold my hand

Juliet

Hand in hand

Take me away Juliet

Hand in hand Juliet

A World You'd Never Believe

I never thought the stars could fall

Until I seen you  in the rain.

It was your smile that did me in

Now everyone knows that I’m insane.

I should have asked you for a dance,

Or at the very least your name.

Now my words are like cinder blocks,

Waiting to break again

I’m dancing though memories of you,

No tears tonight, everything will be alright.

Hold my hand and I’ll be there for you

I’ll kiss your cheek before I leave

In a world you’d never believe.

I wasn’t dying until you held my hand

Now I’m lost in your silver eyes—

Silver stars, the bright of night.

I never throught I was meant to be broken, 

Until you broke me the way I am.

Take away my breath, pretend to feel the same,

You’re a stack of paper and I’m a broken pen.

I’m dancing through memories of you,

No tears tonight, everything is alright.

Hold my hand and I’ll be there for you

I’ll kiss your cheek before I leave

In a world you’d never believe.

Hold my hand and I’ll be there for you,

A world you’d never believe.

Staring at the Sky (Knowing We’ve Already Said Goodbye)

She takes my hand, grip so tight,

Singing don't you ever go.

My face is lost, to her tears so gold,

Words are useless, I'm torn in two.

I lose myself on a road so far from home,

Forever chasing a wayward goal.

Forget all your restless nights,

Where a song brought tears to your eyes.

I believe it was just a dream,

A dream I lived all my life.

I dream all my life.

I sat on the stairs, for so long,

Afraid I would never escape my dreams.

I reached the bottom, so long ago,

You were there, all draped in red.

My jaded eyes grew so weary,

When I forgot you were a wayward goal.

Forget all your restless nights,

Where a song brought tears to your eyes.

I believe it was just a dream,

A dream I lived all my life.

I dream all my life.

Two eyes like crystal, so clear,

They cut me as I bite my cheeks.

I speak so reluctantly,

My words are shaking in their boots.

I cross my fingers so hard,

I can't believe what I just heard.

Forget all your restless nights,

I dream all my life.

A dream brought tears to your eyes,

I dream all my life;

A dream I lived all my life.

I dream all my life.
