Come Alive lyrics - Beth Crowley
I am a wanderer
I never needed anyone
But you've stopped me in my tracks
And I like the way you scare me
So let's leave the past behind
The future's anybody's guess
Just give me right now baby
I don't want to keep my distance anymore
[Chorus:]
Because I come alive
In your arms, in your arms
You touch me and I
Fall apart, fall apart
Let the world melt away
Blur all the lines between love and the pain
Cause tonight is when I come alive
You are a blinding light
A darkness courses through my veins
And somehow you chose me
I refuse to let you down
So come here a little closer
I'll love you past the breaking point
You're what I never wanted
But now I have never wanted something more
[Chorus]
If good and evil do exist
And we're on different sides of it
Take my hand and walk me through the fire
[Chorus]
I never needed anyone
But you've stopped me in my tracks
And I like the way you scare me
So let's leave the past behind
The future's anybody's guess
Just give me right now baby
I don't want to keep my distance anymore
[Chorus:]
Because I come alive
In your arms, in your arms
You touch me and I
Fall apart, fall apart
Let the world melt away
Blur all the lines between love and the pain
Cause tonight is when I come alive
You are a blinding light
A darkness courses through my veins
And somehow you chose me
I refuse to let you down
So come here a little closer
I'll love you past the breaking point
You're what I never wanted
But now I have never wanted something more
[Chorus]
If good and evil do exist
And we're on different sides of it
Take my hand and walk me through the fire
[Chorus]
Midnight lyrics - Beth Crowley
I know I’m different
Than what you expected
But I’ve been playing a role
It’s time that you know the truth
You may not want me anymore
I’m not what you’ve been looking for
But under these pieces and parts
Is a beautiful heart and it loves you
So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight
I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight
Always told what to believe
Now nothing is quite what it seemed
It’s a battle of head versus heart
Can’t tell them apart like before
But the truth is concealed in the lies
I’ve decided I’m done trying to hide
I won’t sit back and watch the world burn
When I know it’s my turn to fight this war
So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight
I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight
Fog starts to lift, is my mind playing tricks?
Cause you look like home
Then I know this real, I trust what I feel
That neither of us has to be alone
You don’t have to be alone
So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight
I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight
Than what you expected
But I’ve been playing a role
It’s time that you know the truth
You may not want me anymore
I’m not what you’ve been looking for
But under these pieces and parts
Is a beautiful heart and it loves you
So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight
I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight
Always told what to believe
Now nothing is quite what it seemed
It’s a battle of head versus heart
Can’t tell them apart like before
But the truth is concealed in the lies
I’ve decided I’m done trying to hide
I won’t sit back and watch the world burn
When I know it’s my turn to fight this war
So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight
I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight
Fog starts to lift, is my mind playing tricks?
Cause you look like home
Then I know this real, I trust what I feel
That neither of us has to be alone
You don’t have to be alone
So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight
I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight
Always lyrics - Beth Crowley
We were both children when,
So full of innocence,
We used to play our games in flowery fields,
You're the one who could see,
The good inside of me,
And I knew then that I had something real,
I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
But you were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always,
For years my feelings grew,
But I was losing you,
The only happiness I'd ever known,
Another came along,
And slowly won your heart,
I cared enough for you to let you go,
I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
You were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always,
A thousand times the words just died right on my lips,
Regret came over me with its swift and stinging kiss,
I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
You were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always.
So full of innocence,
We used to play our games in flowery fields,
You're the one who could see,
The good inside of me,
And I knew then that I had something real,
I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
But you were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always,
For years my feelings grew,
But I was losing you,
The only happiness I'd ever known,
Another came along,
And slowly won your heart,
I cared enough for you to let you go,
I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
You were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always,
A thousand times the words just died right on my lips,
Regret came over me with its swift and stinging kiss,
I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
You were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always.
Here We Go Again lyrics - Beth Crowley
Here we go again
Our game of tug-o-war
For me it’s real now
I’m not playing anymore
You try to wear me down
With your pretty pretty words
Just when I think I’m done
I’m halfway out the door
You pull me in again
Promising to give me more
Yet I’m still surprised every time that I get hurt
I reach out to touch the flame
Cuz I refuse to think it burns
Retreat and lick my wounds
But of course I never learn
You’re a rocket to the moon
I’m stranded on the ground
Come back for what you lost
Let me show you, show you what I found
Here we go again
I lose myself in you
Your love defines me
In a way I didn’t want it to
If I keep holding on
You’re going to bend me til I break
I’m coming face to face
With what I’ve always known
That I am terrified
Of who I am when I’m alone
But now it’s time to choose
Which one of us I’m going to save
You could be
The greatest chance I’ll never take
You’ll always be
My worst and favorite mistake
Our game of tug-o-war
For me it’s real now
I’m not playing anymore
You try to wear me down
With your pretty pretty words
Just when I think I’m done
I’m halfway out the door
You pull me in again
Promising to give me more
Yet I’m still surprised every time that I get hurt
I reach out to touch the flame
Cuz I refuse to think it burns
Retreat and lick my wounds
But of course I never learn
You’re a rocket to the moon
I’m stranded on the ground
Come back for what you lost
Let me show you, show you what I found
Here we go again
I lose myself in you
Your love defines me
In a way I didn’t want it to
If I keep holding on
You’re going to bend me til I break
I’m coming face to face
With what I’ve always known
That I am terrified
Of who I am when I’m alone
But now it’s time to choose
Which one of us I’m going to save
You could be
The greatest chance I’ll never take
You’ll always be
My worst and favorite mistake
Make Me Yours lyrics - Beth Crowley
Don't say a word or I am going to lose my nerve
I guess your silence might be
More than I deserve
We've always had excuses
For why we couldn't make it work
But I have to stop pretending
That being without you
Doesn't hurt
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
I've said too much but I have got to get this out
Don't blame the timing
'Cause the only time is now
And if we're done we'll go our separate ways
And say goodbye
But I think we'll both have our regrets if we do not give this a try
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
I guess your silence might be
More than I deserve
We've always had excuses
For why we couldn't make it work
But I have to stop pretending
That being without you
Doesn't hurt
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
I've said too much but I have got to get this out
Don't blame the timing
'Cause the only time is now
And if we're done we'll go our separate ways
And say goodbye
But I think we'll both have our regrets if we do not give this a try
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine
This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours
2007 lyrics - Beth Crowley
A parking deck,
At 3am,
He's on the other line,
Through fearful whispers,
He can tell that I am far from fine,
Honestly,
He might have saved my life that night,
The year 2007,
I began to fight,
'Cause you can't call a doctor,
And just tell him where it hurts,
You weigh the choice to live or die,
And don't know which is worse,
Stumbling through darkness,
Grasping for a shred of light,
Wrestling your demons,
'Till you reach the other side,
Others chalk it up to heartbreak or a passing phase,
In fitful sleep you scream I'm not supposed to feel this way,
I don't have answers,
But I made it through the rain,
And happiness is worth the temporary pain,
'Cause you can't call a doctor,
And just tell him where it hurts,
You weigh the choice to live or die,
And don't know which is worse,
Stumbling through darkness,
Grasping for a shred of light,
Wrestling your demons,
'Till you reach the other side,
'Cause you can't call a doctor,
And just tell him where it hurts,
You weigh the choice to live or die,
And don't know which is worse,
Stumbling through darkness,
Grasping for a shred of light,
Wrestling your demons,
'Till you reach the other side.

How It Ends lyrics - Beth Crowley
There’s a darkness that plays behind your wicked smile
Aching sadness as you cradle me like I’m a child
This is madness
We’re descending into madness
And it chills me to the bone
Even when you’re gone I’m not alone
I’m never alone
I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends
I am frightened as we tumble down the rabbit hole
My grip tightens, I’m clinging to your missing soul
You can fight them
Together we can fight them
Tell me you’re not too far gone
That I’m not a fool for holding on
I have to hold on
I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends
Deep within your twisted truth
You've made yourself a home
But it’s a place where I can’t follow you
Don’t leave me on my own
I can’t do this on my own
I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends
Aching sadness as you cradle me like I’m a child
This is madness
We’re descending into madness
And it chills me to the bone
Even when you’re gone I’m not alone
I’m never alone
I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends
I am frightened as we tumble down the rabbit hole
My grip tightens, I’m clinging to your missing soul
You can fight them
Together we can fight them
Tell me you’re not too far gone
That I’m not a fool for holding on
I have to hold on
I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends
Deep within your twisted truth
You've made yourself a home
But it’s a place where I can’t follow you
Don’t leave me on my own
I can’t do this on my own
I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends
Porcelain Heart lyrics - Beth Crowley
I couldn't help myself, watching your moonlight silhouette as we all sat fire side,
I was hanging on to every word you said, in that moment all I wanted was a chance to love you.
So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defenses, to my porcelain heart
You came and stood by me, your crooked smile brighter than the stars.
And you pulled me to my feet whispering the summer time is ours, and I felt it as we melted into something wonderful
Oh we danced cause we were feeling young you looked at me like you couldn't get enough
So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defenses, to my porcelain heart
Oh we danced cause we were feeling young you looked at me like you couldn't get enough
So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defences, to my porcelain heart
I was hanging on to every word you said, in that moment all I wanted was a chance to love you.
So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defenses, to my porcelain heart
You came and stood by me, your crooked smile brighter than the stars.
And you pulled me to my feet whispering the summer time is ours, and I felt it as we melted into something wonderful
Oh we danced cause we were feeling young you looked at me like you couldn't get enough
So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defenses, to my porcelain heart
Oh we danced cause we were feeling young you looked at me like you couldn't get enough
So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defences, to my porcelain heart
Skin And Bones lyrics - Beth Crowley
I used to dream about the heroes of stories
As life became an endless night
When hope was gone you resurrected my spirit
Brought me from darkness into light
I can sense a storm is coming
Anchoring you to me
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength
Might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
And when I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
I listen closely and hear sweet strains of music
I'm captured in a reverie
Through all these years you've been my quiet salvation
Reflecting who I want to be
Please for my sake no more talk of
Blessings and curses tonight
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
When I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
Standing in silence we look out at the water
Amazed how much the world has changed
I see behind your eyes such wisdom and sorrow
You're wondering if we're still the same
I felt more love than I could
Give in just one lifetime
Far beneath my skin and bones
I safekeep our united souls
My greatest source of strength was not my downfall
Because love was not a choice for me
I held your hand and took a leap
I'll never lose myself
You help me stand so tall
As life became an endless night
When hope was gone you resurrected my spirit
Brought me from darkness into light
I can sense a storm is coming
Anchoring you to me
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength
Might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
And when I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
I listen closely and hear sweet strains of music
I'm captured in a reverie
Through all these years you've been my quiet salvation
Reflecting who I want to be
Please for my sake no more talk of
Blessings and curses tonight
Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
When I lose myself
You help me stand so tall
Standing in silence we look out at the water
Amazed how much the world has changed
I see behind your eyes such wisdom and sorrow
You're wondering if we're still the same
I felt more love than I could
Give in just one lifetime
Far beneath my skin and bones
I safekeep our united souls
My greatest source of strength was not my downfall
Because love was not a choice for me
I held your hand and took a leap
I'll never lose myself
You help me stand so tall
My Good Days lyrics - Beth Crowley
We met across a great divide
Took a running start and watched our stars collide
You shine the brightest for me
Suddenly I didn't care
About hospital rooms or sympathetic stares
I never felt so free
We fell in love beneath a champagne sunset
Living a lifetime in the moments we spent
Chasing forever trying to change our fate
You were every one of my good days
We were both on borrowed time
Going uphill on a roller coaster ride
Scared to give up control
But still you refused to quit
Trying anything to more than just exist
You wanted your story told
We fell in love beneath a champagne sunset
Living a lifetime in the moments we spent
Chasing forever trying to change our fate
You were every one of my good days
One day my tired heart will take its final aching beat
I'll smile cuz I'll remember how we redefined infinity
Maybe in the somewhere you believed in we will dance
And love the way we craved to when we didn't get our chance
We'll fall in love beneath a champagne sunset
We'll live a lifetime in the moments we spend
Chasing forever knowing we're okay
You'll be every one of my good days
You were every one of my good days
Took a running start and watched our stars collide
You shine the brightest for me
Suddenly I didn't care
About hospital rooms or sympathetic stares
I never felt so free
We fell in love beneath a champagne sunset
Living a lifetime in the moments we spent
Chasing forever trying to change our fate
You were every one of my good days
We were both on borrowed time
Going uphill on a roller coaster ride
Scared to give up control
But still you refused to quit
Trying anything to more than just exist
You wanted your story told
We fell in love beneath a champagne sunset
Living a lifetime in the moments we spent
Chasing forever trying to change our fate
You were every one of my good days
One day my tired heart will take its final aching beat
I'll smile cuz I'll remember how we redefined infinity
Maybe in the somewhere you believed in we will dance
And love the way we craved to when we didn't get our chance
We'll fall in love beneath a champagne sunset
We'll live a lifetime in the moments we spend
Chasing forever knowing we're okay
You'll be every one of my good days
You were every one of my good days
Nothing Left lyrics - Beth Crowley
I remember that night clear as day
Feeling helpless as you walked away
Wish I could rewrite history
To a story where you stay with me
Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say your tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
Forever's what I promised you
But forever's meant for liars and fools
A check mark on my lessons learned
That you don't always get what you deserve
Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say you tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say you tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
Feeling helpless as you walked away
Wish I could rewrite history
To a story where you stay with me
Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say your tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
Forever's what I promised you
But forever's meant for liars and fools
A check mark on my lessons learned
That you don't always get what you deserve
Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say you tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say you tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved
This Goodbye lyrics - Beth Crowley
My world caught fire
You're the one who lit the spark
Now I'm playing with matches
All alone here in the dark
I had to learn the hard way
That salvation has its price
But I'll never forgive myself
That you were the sacrifice
And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye
Some days the guilt inside
Becomes too much to bear
I stopped seeking redemption
I don't have the will to care
I know I should be stronger
Cause I think that's what you'd want
You'd be so ashamed if you
Could see the nothing I've become
And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye
And I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you
I gladly would have taken your place
I wanted to always protect you
But I broke every promise I made
Please don't leave me
Cause I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye
This goodbye
You're the one who lit the spark
Now I'm playing with matches
All alone here in the dark
I had to learn the hard way
That salvation has its price
But I'll never forgive myself
That you were the sacrifice
And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye
Some days the guilt inside
Becomes too much to bear
I stopped seeking redemption
I don't have the will to care
I know I should be stronger
Cause I think that's what you'd want
You'd be so ashamed if you
Could see the nothing I've become
And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye
And I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you
I gladly would have taken your place
I wanted to always protect you
But I broke every promise I made
Please don't leave me
Cause I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye
This goodbye
Warrior lyrics - Beth Crowley
You fascinated me
Cloaked in shadows and secrecy
The beauty of a broken angel
I ventured carefully
Afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled
You take me by the hand
I question who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
My memory refused
To separate the lies from truth
And search the past
My mind created
I kept on pushing through
Standing resolute which you
In equal measure
Loved and hated
You take me by the hand
I'm seeing who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
Lies a warrior...
You take me by the hand
I'm sure of who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
The pictures come to life
Wake in the dead of night
Open my eyes
I must be dreaming
Clutch my pillow tight
Brace myself for the fight
I've heard that seeing
Is believing
Cloaked in shadows and secrecy
The beauty of a broken angel
I ventured carefully
Afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled
You take me by the hand
I question who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
My memory refused
To separate the lies from truth
And search the past
My mind created
I kept on pushing through
Standing resolute which you
In equal measure
Loved and hated
You take me by the hand
I'm seeing who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
Lies a warrior...
You take me by the hand
I'm sure of who I am
Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin
Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along
That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior
The pictures come to life
Wake in the dead of night
Open my eyes
I must be dreaming
Clutch my pillow tight
Brace myself for the fight
I've heard that seeing
Is believing
Pretend It's Home lyrics - Beth Crowley
Breathe it in
Let the fear consume you
Then force it out
Remember that it's not true
The higher you climb
The farther you fall
But don't be ashamed
Of wanting it all
Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home
Take control
Be strong in your conviction
Embrace the pain
A dangerous addiction
Once you make a choice
There's no turning back
Trust only yourself
When you're under attack
Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home
I'm a secret, I'm a lie
I'm the weakness I despise
I am selfish, I am brave
I'll prove to you that I am not afraid
That I am not afraid
Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home
So pick a place, pretend it's home
Let the fear consume you
Then force it out
Remember that it's not true
The higher you climb
The farther you fall
But don't be ashamed
Of wanting it all
Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home
Take control
Be strong in your conviction
Embrace the pain
A dangerous addiction
Once you make a choice
There's no turning back
Trust only yourself
When you're under attack
Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home
I'm a secret, I'm a lie
I'm the weakness I despise
I am selfish, I am brave
I'll prove to you that I am not afraid
That I am not afraid
Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home
So pick a place, pretend it's home
Girl Like Me lyrics - Beth Crowley
She's blonde, I'm not,
I know you think she's hot,
By all standards, she's a perfect ten, it's true.
She's your living dream,
Off the pages of a magazine,
Probably, a better than me for you.
But I've got a sexy personality,
Not a size two,
Don't have big boobs,
But I've been told I'm kind of funny.
(Yeah, I made that up.)
Just don't give in to the stereotype,
Of what a guy, who looks like you is supposed to like.
I know it may be crass but I could kick that skinny bitch's ass,
Just take a chance on a girl like me.
She's a piece of work,
No one should have that much perk,
Oh so classy while she's dancing on the bar.
While I read Keats and Poe,
And as far as looks go,
No one's run away from me in fear so far.
'Cause I've got a bangin' set of listening skills,
I know how to bake,
Well just the box kind of cake,
But I think it still tastes pretty good,
Especially funfetti.
(What? It's delicious.)
Just don't give in to the stereotype,
Of what a guy, who looks like you is supposed to like.
I know it may be crass but I could kick that skinny bitch's ass,
Just take a chance on a girl like me.
Baby you should be with me,
Oh I could give you fifty reasons,
Face it all she'll ever give you is,
Venereal diseases.
You'll break my heart if you prove that the movies lie,
But in the end the quirky chick still gets the guy.
So don't give in to the stereotype,
Of what a guy, who looks like you is supposed to like.
I know it may be crass but I could kick that skank whore's fake tanned ass,
Just take a chance on a girl like me.
I know you think she's hot,
By all standards, she's a perfect ten, it's true.
She's your living dream,
Off the pages of a magazine,
Probably, a better than me for you.
But I've got a sexy personality,
Not a size two,
Don't have big boobs,
But I've been told I'm kind of funny.
(Yeah, I made that up.)

Gone lyrics - Beth Crowley
My greatest love is gone
He might as well have died
An impostor wears his face
One I barely recognize
And something burns inside of me
Anger eats me alive
But lock us both up in her cage
I’m the one who will survive
So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
My greatest love is gone
You took him far away
He sits right next to me
But he’ll never be the same
You thief you found my weakness
And you went on the attack
But look over your shoulder
See my target on your back
So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
Fight or flight
Was the decision ever mine?
It was never mine
So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
He might as well have died
An impostor wears his face
One I barely recognize
And something burns inside of me
Anger eats me alive
But lock us both up in her cage
I’m the one who will survive
So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
My greatest love is gone
You took him far away
He sits right next to me
But he’ll never be the same
You thief you found my weakness
And you went on the attack
But look over your shoulder
See my target on your back
So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
Fight or flight
Was the decision ever mine?
It was never mine
So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
My Forgiveness lyrics - Beth Crowley
I never claimed to be a saint
but keep in mind neither are you
you wield your book like it's your greatest weapon
but did you ever stop and think that maybe
that was not its intention, its intention
So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
but this tapestry of hate you've woven
has begun to fray
because in the end words are only words
yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt
so forgive me if I do not follow suit
then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
You have the right to disagree
For what it's worth I'll respect your beliefs
Can't you afford the same compassion
to your fellow man even if you do not
understand his actions, his actions
So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
but this tapestry of hate you've woven
has begun to fray
because in the end words are only words
yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt
so forgive me if I do not follow suit
then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
And if your heaven won't let me in
because I refuse to cast my stones
I'll spend eternity wandering
searching for a place to call my own
but I won't be alone
I never claimed to be a saint
but keep in mind neither are you
So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
but this tapestry of hate you've woven
has begun to fray
because in the end words are only words
yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt
so forgive me if I do not follow suit
then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
but keep in mind neither are you
you wield your book like it's your greatest weapon
but did you ever stop and think that maybe
that was not its intention, its intention
So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
but this tapestry of hate you've woven
has begun to fray
because in the end words are only words
yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt
so forgive me if I do not follow suit
then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
You have the right to disagree
For what it's worth I'll respect your beliefs
Can't you afford the same compassion
to your fellow man even if you do not

So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet

because in the end words are only words

then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
My Version Of You lyrics - Beth Crowley
I probably looked at you a thousand times
I never really saw you
I had a picture of you in my mind
I thought you could live up to
You drew a line between us in the sand
The tide came and washed it away
But God, it felt amazing when you held my hand
Like you heard everything I wasn’t brave enough to say
I put you on a pedestal
Gave you so far to fall
I came to see that knowing you
Wasn’t knowing you at all
So can we go back
To when I thought you were perfect
I want to believe
In your mystery
Because you’re the dream I
Had for so much of my life
Who will I become
If I give you up
So even if it’s not true
I want another moment
With my version of you
I saw you floating in a crystal sky
But you were always out of my reach
How come I never stopped to wonder why
It was okay you didn’t need me
Somewhere inside of me I think I know
We’re not the people that we were then
I watched you leave but I can’t let you go
In spite of everything it doesn’t feel like it’s the end
My paper thin arguments
Don’t hold weight anymore
The paths we chose will never lead
To the way things were before
You are a figment of my imagination
You are a being of my own creation
I wish you could exist
No other way than this
I never really saw you
I had a picture of you in my mind
I thought you could live up to
You drew a line between us in the sand
The tide came and washed it away
But God, it felt amazing when you held my hand
Like you heard everything I wasn’t brave enough to say
I put you on a pedestal
Gave you so far to fall
I came to see that knowing you
Wasn’t knowing you at all
So can we go back
To when I thought you were perfect
I want to believe
In your mystery
Because you’re the dream I
Had for so much of my life
Who will I become
If I give you up
So even if it’s not true
I want another moment
With my version of you
I saw you floating in a crystal sky
But you were always out of my reach
How come I never stopped to wonder why
It was okay you didn’t need me
Somewhere inside of me I think I know
We’re not the people that we were then
I watched you leave but I can’t let you go
In spite of everything it doesn’t feel like it’s the end
My paper thin arguments
Don’t hold weight anymore
The paths we chose will never lead
To the way things were before
You are a figment of my imagination
You are a being of my own creation
I wish you could exist
No other way than this
Red lyrics - Beth Crowley
Red is the new dawn
Red is the fall leaves
Red is the anger
At the lies you made me believe
And I said we're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
You'll be seeing red
I am the lightening
I am the rain storm
I am a soldier
And I am marching into war
And I said we're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
I have worn so many faces
Hiding in plain sight
Your downfall
Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
You'll be seeing red
Red is the fall leaves
Red is the anger
At the lies you made me believe
And I said we're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
You'll be seeing red
I am the lightening
I am the rain storm
I am a soldier
And I am marching into war
And I said we're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
I have worn so many faces
Hiding in plain sight
Your downfall
Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
You'll be seeing red
Seventeen lyrics - Beth Crowley
I can go for days, even months
without thinking of you, not even once
then like a wave you come crashing into my dreams
I'm sitting with you in your beat up car
laughing and looking up at the stars
a shadow falls over your face as you turn to me
You say I won't be happy til I give you the world
Don't you know you'll always be my girl
and I wake up with your words echoing through my head
[Chorus:]
Are you thinking of me where you are now?
Are you happy with how your life's turning out?
I know we were kids back then
but it's not fair to downplay it
Too many years have since gone by
to confess what's been haunting me all of this time
That a part of me is seventeen
and still in love with you
I leave my eyes closed so I can keep
slow dancing with your memory
But the image that once burned brightly starts to fade
I know I romanticize all that we were
at the end of the day you and I didn't work
Yet so much of who I am I owe to you
[Chorus]
If I knew back then what I know now
Could have foretold the end somehow
I still don't think I would change a thing
about how I felt at seventeen
[Chorus]
without thinking of you, not even once
then like a wave you come crashing into my dreams
I'm sitting with you in your beat up car
laughing and looking up at the stars
a shadow falls over your face as you turn to me
You say I won't be happy til I give you the world
Don't you know you'll always be my girl
and I wake up with your words echoing through my head
[Chorus:]
Are you thinking of me where you are now?
Are you happy with how your life's turning out?
I know we were kids back then
but it's not fair to downplay it
Too many years have since gone by
to confess what's been haunting me all of this time
That a part of me is seventeen
and still in love with you
I leave my eyes closed so I can keep
slow dancing with your memory
But the image that once burned brightly starts to fade
I know I romanticize all that we were
at the end of the day you and I didn't work
Yet so much of who I am I owe to you
[Chorus]
If I knew back then what I know now
Could have foretold the end somehow
I still don't think I would change a thing
about how I felt at seventeen
[Chorus]
