simon webbe - after all this time

After all, the broken stones
That were thrown for no good reason
Inside, she's loving him still
After all this time
And though her heart bears the scars
No sign of healing
It's all right
She's loving him still
After all this time

Trying to push the past away
Still waiting for the lights to change
But she'll try, try
For the sake of their pride, pride
Learning to barely feel the pain
The thicker the skin, the less the strain
And though it's really hurting
She ain't breaking, breaking, breaking
'Cause she's loving him still
After all this time

Now he knows his weakness shows
Selfish soul, never changing
That's fine
Because she's loving him still
After all this time
And to the outside eye
You'll see a family getting by
And it all seems perfect
And that's how she wants it
'Cause she's loving him still
After all this time

[Chorus]

After all this time....
After all, after all, after all this time

Bones have to grow, and age it shows
Though we try and hide it
Inside, she's loving him still
After all this time
And behind his tired eyes
She sees the boy with his arms wide
Who made her feel like an angel

Ohh that's why
She's loving him still
For the rest of her life
She's loving him still
For the last of many miles
She's loving him still
After all this time

simon webbe - sanctuary

Can't keep a flower underground
Can't keep the sun from shining down
And I can't make you stay
You feel your world is undefined
You feel that what you need is time
Open up your wings and find your way

And I won't try to hold you back
And I hope you already know that

[Chorus]
I'll be your sanctuary
Be the last one left here standing
If you're feelin all alone
When the world feels so temporary
And you think there's such a long
Long way to go
You're all ready home
You're home

You might be somewhere flyin free
The same sky is watching over me
Close your eyes and look around
What ever ocean that you cross
Thought you many drift you're never lost
And I will be your solid ground

Cause I know that inside my heart
Gonna get back to where we started

[Chorus]

You're already here in my arms
The way that you are tonight
Just give me till mornin' comes
It's gonna be all right - [repeat]

I'll...(Sanctuary)
I'll...I
[Repeat]

[Chorus (Repeat to fade)]

simon webbe - a little high

Stranded
I've been watchin while your buring bridges, around you
Think your helpless,
Broken by then alibi's and promises that wernt true

But its not all bad
You no that you can bring it all back
Reach out and find what you once had
You'll see if you read all the signs

[chorus]
I can see that your in need of some protection
Dont fret dont cry
Just go ahead and change it
Just gota face it
Everybody needs a little high
I can make you the centre of attetention
Let me dry your eyes
{cant get these
Two lines}
Everybody needs a little high

Oh your life is wasted,
The colours in your heart are slowly fading, inside you
Branded by the words you heard, that left you jaded, confussed

But its not all bad
You no that you can bring it all back
Reach out and find what you once had
You get where you want if you read all the signs

[chorus]

All your mistakes are easy to change
Dont let regrets stand in your way
Your intuition on which way to take
Woah, yeah

[chorus]

simon webbe - ashamed

Is there something wrong tonight
Or am i being paranoid
I guess I might have had
A little too much to drink
I wonder who she's talking to
Cos I'm about to act the fool
I smell something cooking and
I don't know what to think

[Bridge:]
What's going on?
I don't know whose right or wrong
Yeah, Tell me babe
It looks like you've been crying
What did he say before he walked away
Maybe I was outta line thinking you
were flirting with another guy...

[Chorus:]
I realise that we all can make mistakes
And I'll do whatever it takes babe
(you know I'd do anything for you)
I don't know if I could stand the pain
If you'd taken your love away babe
If you asked me now I guess I feel
Ashamed

Ashamed, Ashamed, Ashamed

I didn't mean to cause a fight
Cross my heart and hope to die
I guess I'm terrified of the thought
Of losing you
You say he's just a friend
But I don't think it's true
Once upon a time it would never have
crossed my mind

[Bridge / Chorus]

Ashamed, Ashamed, Ashamed [repeat]

[Chorus (repeat)]

simon webbe - coming around again

I been sitting in the darkness
But the sunlight?s creeping in
Now the ice is slowly melting
In my soul and in my skin
All the good times my friend
Are coming around again
Oh yeah

I been thinking reminiscing
Of better nights and better days
Hiding in a refuge
Of memories I've made
I got a feeling within
It?s coming around again

CHORUS
[It's coming around again]
We been so long waiting
For the all time high
We got a damn good reason
To put your troubles aside
And all your winter sorrows hang ?em out to dry
Throw it away
Gotta throw it away
All the colorful days my friend
Are coming around again

That?s right
Yeah yeah Mmm

I got someone waiting for me
It's been so long since we met
And I may not be your salvation but I?ll offer nonetheless
And if like me u wanna take that chance
It's coming around again
Ooh yeah

CHORUS

Yeah yeah Mmm

I can feel a change of fortune
No more riding on my love
Feel the weight is off my shoulders
As my feet become unstuck
And all the good times on which we do depend
Oh it?s coming around again

CHORUS

simon webbe - don t wanna be that man

I know just how you feel, cos I?ve been there before
You thought you found something that was for real that was for sure
You?re taking it so bad, now you?re counting for the cost
Not looking out for what you have, just what you?ve gone and lost
This is not like you, it?s not the friend I?m used to, so we?re gonna get you through oh

[CHORUS]
Fine the life find the life, that you used to know
Let memories touch your soul, of all your deepest hopes, oh
Shine the light shine the light, that you used to hold
Though you say you?re just the same, well you know it ain?t so
Oh deny it all you can, but you don?t wanna be that man

Nobody?s to blame, just like when leaves fall
Scattered dry and left to wonder the reason for it all
Seasons they do change, and as they change we grow
In time we all get older wiser learning as we go
Where?s the friend I knew, the one I used to turn to, here?s what you gotta do oh

[CHORUS]
Fine the life find the life, that you used to know
Let memories touch your soul, of all your deepest hopes, oh
Shine the light shine the light, that you used to hold
Though you say you?re just the same, well you know it ain?t so
Oh deny it all you can, but you don?t wanna be that man

(that man) who left his hopes and dreams somewhere in the past
(that man) who?s letting life go by through an empy glass
(that man) just look at what you got, don?t wish for what you had
Cos your life could be so good, I just wish you?d live it like you should, so

[CHORUS]
Fine the life find the life, that you used to know
Let memories touch your soul, of all your deepest hopes, oh
Shine the light shine the light, that you used to hold
Though you say you?re just the same, well you know it ain?t so
Oh deny it all you can, but you don?t wanna be that man

You don?t wanna be that man
You don?t wanna be that man

simon webbe - free

What a way to wake up
Just to find you there and
Touch you in the morning
You turn your head and look up
There's no need to catch me
Baby, I'm not falling
Could have guessed after all that
Id be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]
Free
When you're near me
Yeah I'm free
All the time
I just need you to hear me
It's only you that makes me free
I'm not used to being loved, not me

Open up the window
Just as the sun comes over the horizon
What a perfect moment
Trying to catch my breath
I find it so surprising
Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]

Seem to exist with these
Chains around me
I thought that I was free
I never knew that's not
An easy thing to be
It's just the way that
Your love surrounds me
Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel
Free, when you're near me

Who'd have guessed after all that
I'd be standing tall
You make me feel

[chorus]

Not me

simon webbe - give a man hope

I was damned from the day i was born
No wake up call
I was locked into falling apart
And said to waste it all
I was out of control, cold
And i think it showed
And its gettin hard to play the part, buts its all that i no
And its getting so complicated (so complicated)

[chorus]
I guess what im trying to say is
If you give a man hope, you no, something to believe in
You get more if you give a little sometimes
(you get more if you give a little sometimes)
Forget about gold, oh no
You no you don't need it (you don't even need it)
Its clear to see,
You gotta give a man hope,
You no, you no, you no, you gotta give a man hope

No where to stay, no place called home
What happened here, when you step into the unknown,
Outside my comfort zone
Oh yeah
I'm not the man you used to no
I'm in control, gonna kick back, relax
Not my low (not to sure on this line)

'caus its gettin so complicated (so complicated)

[chorus]

Things will never be the same again
Give a man a little trust and faith
A ray of light, i can see day break ahead
A little confidence is all it takes
And whatever happens from today,
They see the good in me, the light comes shinning through

[chorus]

If you give a man hope, you no, something to believe in
You get more if you give a little sometimes
You get more if you give a little sometimes
Forget about gold, oh no
You no you don't need it (you don't even need it)
Its clear to see
You no you no you no, you've gotta give a man hope

simon webbe - go to sleep

The light is fading i't's the end of the day, she's lying awake.
Wondering if tommorrow's gonna be her friend.
She's too youn to understand but knows something's wrong.
Now mama has gone, and daddy's doing all that he can to recompense.
And out of these lonely days, she's trying to make the most.
This unfamiliar place, she's trying to make it home.
She's working hard to get the kind of love her mama gave, oh.

Chorus
(go to sleep my little baby).
Go to slepp my little baby
(go to sleep my little baby).
Go to sleep my little baby.
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay.
Don't leave nobody but the babe.

She take the pressure and she hides it away.
Still wakes everyday, and always sets the table for an extra place.
This ain't what she chose, this it what she's got.
Hope that when she grows old, no one needs to pay the cost.
She's working hard to be the kind of girl her mama was, oh.

Chorus
(go to sleep my little baby).
Go to slepp my little baby
(go to sleep my little baby).
Go to sleep my little baby.
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay.
Don't leave nobody but the babe.

Your daddy's gonna stay...
Your daddy's gonna stay.

simon webbe - grace

(Grace, grace)
Reaching out, looking for some way to escape the crowd
You whispered words that I?ve been searching for
Somehow you answered my call
Reaching out I feel I?m rising up

[Chorus]
You give me (grace)
In a world that doesn?t sleep at all
You give me (grace)
It?s a place I?ve never been before
You give me (grace)
And in all of the confusion you?re the peace in my soul
That?s why I will never really be alone

Suddenly, I?m up on the surface now where I can see
And picture the person who I need to be
And I know, yes I know I can make it
See me now, I?m slowly rising up

[Chrous

Well yeah, these are difficult times
These are difficult days
But I know we can face it
Ours are difficult lives
In a difficult place
Oh you give me grace to say when I got it wrong
The grace and the will to carry on
Reaching out I feel I?m rising up

[Chrous x 2]

simon webbe - i ain t you

Some days when I was young and I was dressed up as I do
Not looking like the rest but, what I felt as cool
They said that I was the one who was playing a fool for attention
I'd stand out the way that I do

They use to pick and tease not take me seriously
But see I did not care cos we were only kids
So back then they did laugh and make fun out of me
But developing my style, looking right as I did.

They say that I don't eat
And that I don't get no sleep
They say that I ain't cool and that I look like a freak
I said I ain't you and you are not me
We are who we are let us be

Here are reunion and I meet them same old kids
Don't recognise their kids but do remember me
So back then they did laugh and make fun out of me
But developing my style looking right as I did.

They say that I don't eat
And that I don't get no sleep
They say that I ain't cool and that I look like a freak
I said I ain't you and you are not me
They say that I don't know and that my mind is too weak
They say my body's slow and say I ain't got no beat
I said I ain't you and you are not me
We are who we are let us be

So my story to you is stand up and be proud
If you're quiet then that's cool
If your not shout it loud

They say that I don't eat
And that I don't get no sleep
(It's all about foolish kids)
They say that I ain't cool and that I look like a freak
They say that I don't know and that my mind is too weak
They say my body's slow and say I ain't got no beat
I said I ain't you and you are not me
We are who we are let us be
I said I ain't you and you are not me
We are who we are let us be

They say that I don't eat
And that I don't get no sleep
(It's all about foolish kids)
They say that I ain't cool and that I look like a freak
They say that I don't know and that my mind is too weak
They say my body's slow and say I ain't got no beat
I said I ain't you and you are not me
We are who we are let us be
I said I ain't you and you are not me
We are who we are let us be

What a foolish thing to say

simon webbe - lay your hands

Sometimes life can be a burden,
Trying to stay one step a head,
Feel the world up on my shoulder each time,
I'm standing out on the edge,
And my hopes have all deserted me,
Like they've washed away in the sand,
And it's hurting my pride, trying to survive,
But I know that I stand a chance,
When you lay your hands,

Cos it's the only thing I have that still makes sense,
Oh, baby, when I'm calling out,
Give me love and affection, keep telling me, showing me the
way,
Oh, when you see me falling down,
Lift me up from the shadows, will you take me away to a better
place,
And when I'm in my darkest hour,
Be by my side, to turn the tide,
Until my suffering fades,
When life is getting me down, getting me down, and close to
defeat,
Come and lay your hands on me,

Feel this road is getting longer now,
And I'm too far away from home,
Cos I gotta keep on movin on,
But I can't do it on my own,
Baby keep my head above water,
Help me swim for my life,
Cos the game is getting harder,
The strain is getting stronger,
And i can only face the fight,
When you lay your hands,

Cos it's the only thing I have that still makes sense,
Oh, baby, when I'm calling out,
Give me love and affection, keep telling me, showing me the
way,
Oh when you see me falling down,
Lift me up from the shadows, will you take me away to a better
place,
And when I'm in my darkest hour,
Be by my side, to turn the tide,
Until my suffering fades,
When life is getting me down, getting me down, and close to
defeat,
Come and lay your hands on me,

Till I'm healed again,
Rediscovered my strength,
And those bitter blues are gone, all gone,

Oh, baby when I'm calling out,
Give me love and affection, keep telling me, showing me the
way,
Oh, when you see me falling down,

Lift me up from the shadows, will you take me away to a better
place,
And when I'm in my darkest hour,
Be by my side, to turn the tide,
Until my suffering fades,
When life is getting me down, getting me down, and close to
defeat,
Come and lay your hands on me.
