How many people can´t understand what there´s between my guitar and me How can I explain to you when I drive I don´t stop singing my melody Spending all my money On my job You said nice to meet you with hopeful face but now I am your main trouble I will miss your hair in my face but now I realize that I prefer my… I don’t mind If I hear you saying something wrong about me I've got more friends than you and my band to enjoy
2.
My Turn 02:35
I know, you can burn it all Those things I have never showed you It´s my turn to make (it) all alone! I can´t be “the perfect one” you ask me for It´s my turn to make (it) all alone! I´m so tired of working I can´t feel my bones I know, you can burn it all Speaking behind my uncovered back It happened over (the) last weekend, it has been meaningless
3.
Now I think it´s time to move on Leaving the past where it should stay Don´t want to think about it another day I´m sure I will find the right way I´m not lost like I used to be Still we feel apart because of hurts I have passed months sleepless Waiting for one more chance But now I´ve changed I could say I expect your smile But the truth is I don’t mind So you can say i´m dreamless, I agree However I won´t make more mistakes
4.
To Believe 03:07
Though It´s hard to explain you are the only one capable to save the world And all of us are praying that they won´t come to hold up Every smiling faces turn to “lucky-girl” trying to seem proud Everyone knows the changes and you can be sure I will be around To believe We won´t admit a defeat, they have a lot of weapons but we count on with gifts They’re many more than us we grew having ambitions they never imagined If the sundown can make you trust us
5.
7x8 03:40
A lonely tear falls down A smile turns into frown Trickles down your cheek do not make you weak A sad and lonely heart Others break apart I know, I´m a disappointment But you´re too and we both know it You want to take are our life away But I don´t agree The salty tear is gone life will carry on With love from a friend the lonely tears will end
6.
Anywhere 02:38
Get ready for Friday night Everybody´s waiting for us Take your car and let´s buy the drugs Now just talk about plans Anywhere, It´s all right We will get together It doesn´t matter where we go We just need some girls And that’s enough to enjoy night It was close to midnight when I hit the floor cold, smoke and booze for sure made me fall down
7.
Cry 03:07
Now I don´t trust you so You can´t expect the faith you wish If we met knowing our fate May we should avoid the crossway Breaking our photograph is just a Childish reaction caused of hurts Why are you surprised about The lies you deserve Cry The solution is not crying You tell me you want to Cry /s You say you just want to cry There’s no reason for crying Feeling that everything happens as We were in a theatre stage You will understand that it’s better let it go Your dark side is not gonna help you keeping me around
8.
Could you see (the) leaves falling from the sky Could you feel my tears dropping from my eyes Bring the changes if your heart is right Blink your eyes without coming back You rant and rave These things you say can fool anyone That way can't wake me from this world Where I find something (that) will make me feel alone My imagination´s been dying for years Since my sights getting worse and worse
9.
Green Lawn 03:53
You´ll say I had nothing to hide Broken and desperate, lonely and lied Cloudy smell from your neck Brings me the best wishes from us. Just like I was cut off by your lies Sun goes down close my eyes Green lawn where your fake caress were hard to believe Good place to fate now I need look down on it I keep going straight ahead Take a look around I ask god why No more feeling in town Cause you can never see me try
10.
They used to crush out on the street While politics talk about the oil Nobody wonders when (it) will be late But I can´t see it at the headlines They are the leaders and we must accept commands We are fool and tired, but no one rises to get away Sky turns black when a phone rings But they don´t want to have anything to do
11.
Last Train 04:16
For a long time I was thinking you were mine Because I fell in love Growing older Waiting for your calls under Under the road But I think we still have time To make it up to us and fix ourselves So leave everything and let´s take our last train It could be late to find the way So leave everything and let´s take our... I don’t know destination I’m sure it’ll be perfection Just like it used to be It looks so clear That we must disappear And go far away
12.
Someone once said that we will never reach the goal They also told us it would be better let it go Can you feel it like us? The anger flowing through the veins The crowd doing what you say Succeed where many others failed Just when we thought nothing good would come out of the room Speakers gave us a magic to which we were not used Remember the time when they wanted to see us failing unfortunately they didn´t know how wrong they were so you should feel proud to show how well we did it
13.
Oh! Don´t worry about that, my heart is already cracked Broken for words that were spoken behind my back Please, pay no attention, it´s not your intention Please use discretion if you don´t mind. There’s no love, like yours There’s no soul, like ours I’m sure we’ll meet in another time and place Oh! One more day (at) home burning every photo You will remember our past when the movie starts Please, don’t cry now, just keep this song now And don’t forgive that this is the end
