โ if you want it youโre gonna bleed, but itโs the price you payย โ
โ you can taste the bright lights, but you wonโt get them for free โ
โ if you got a hunger for what you see, youโll take it eventually โ
โ you can have everything you want, but you better not take it from me โ
โ where the grass is green and the girls are pretty โ
โ iโm a hard case thatโs tough to beat โ
โ you gotta keep pushinโ for the fortune and fame โ
โ why iโm here, i canโt quite remember โ
โ tell me who youโre gonna believe โ
โ turn me around and take me back to the start โ
โ there wasnโt much in this heart of mine โ
โ i think about you, honey, all the time, my heart says yes โ
โ i think about you, deep inside, i love you best โ
โ something changed in this heart of mine โ
โ where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky โ
โ now and then when i see her face, she takes me away to that special place โ
โ if i stared too long, iโd probably break down and cry โ
โ iโd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain โ
โ if i say i donโt need anyone, i can say these things to you โ
โ i can turn on anyone, just like iโve turned on you โ
โ iโve got a tongue like a razor, a sweet switchblade knife โ
โ i can do you favours, but then youโll do whatever i like โ
โ i might be a little young, but honey i ainโt naive โ
โ i might be too much, but honey youโre a bit obscene โ
โ iโve seen everything imaginable pass before these eyes โ
โ iโve had everything thatโs tangible, honey youโd be surprised โ
โ iโm a sexual innuendo in this burned out paradise โ
โ if you turn me on to anything, you better turn me on tonight โ
โ if you need a shoulder or if you need a friend, iโll be here standing till the bitter end โ
โ no one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain โ
โ donโt ever leave me, say youโll always be there โ
โ all i ever wanted was for you to know that i care โ
โ shed a tear โcause iโm missing you, iโm still alright to smile โ
โ was a time when i wasnโt sure, but you set my mind at ease โ
โ there is no doubt youโre in my heart now โ
โ all we need is just a little patience โ
โ i sit here on the stairs โcause iโd rather be alone โ
โ if i canโt have you right now, iโll wait dear โ
โ sometimes i get so tense, but i canโt speed up the time โ
โ but you know, love, thereโs one more thing to consider โ
โ you and iโve got what it takes to make it, we wonโt fake it, iโll never break it โ
โ hard to see with so many around, you know i donโt like being stuck in the crowd โ
โ i ainโt got time for the game โcause i need you โ
โ talk to me softly, thereโs something in your eyes โ
โ donโt hang your head in sorrow and please donโt cry โ
โ i know how you feel inside, iโve been there before โ
โ somethingโs changing inside you and you donโt know โ
โ donโt you cry tonight, i still love you baby โ
โ donโt you cry tonight, thereโs a heaven above you baby โ
โ give me a whisper and give me a sigh โ
โ give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye โ
โ donโt you take it so hard now and please donโt take it so bad โ
โ iโll still be thinking of you and the times we had, baby โ
โ you gotta make it your own way, but youโll be alright now, sugar โ
โ youโll feel better tomorrow, come the morning light now baby โ
โ when i look into your eyes, i can see a love restrained โ
โ but darlinโ when i hold you, donโt you know i feel the same โ
โ nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change โ
โ itโs hard to hold a candle, in the cold november rain โ
โ weโve been through this such a long, long time, just tryinโ to kill the pain โ
โ but lovers always come and lovers always go โ
โ no oneโs really sure whoโs letting go today, walking away โ
โ if we could take the time, to lay it on the line โ
โ i could rest my head just knowing that you were mine, all mine โ
โ so if you want to love me, then darlinโ donโt refrain โ
โ or iโll just end up walking, in the cold november rain โ
โ do you need some time, on your own โ
โ do you need some time, all alone โ
โ everybody needs some time, on their own โ
โ i know itโs hard to keep an open heart, when even friends seem out to harm you โ
โ but if you could heal a broken heart, wouldnโt time be out to charm you โ
โ when your fears subside and shadows still remain โ
โ i know that you can love me, when thereโs no one left to blame โ
โ so nevermind the darkness, we still can find a way โ
โ cause nothing lasts forever, even cold november rain โ
โ everybody needs somebody, youโre not the only one โ
โ you can find it all inside, no need to restle with your pride โ
โ nobody understands, quite why weโre hre โ
โ weโre searching for answers that never appear โ
โ sometimes i feel like iโm beating a dead horse โ
โ iโd like to think that our loveโs worth a tad more โ
โ i was only a small child when the thought first came to me โ
โ you canโt trust freedom when itโs not in your hands โ
โ look at the lies weโve swallowed, i donโt wanna hear no more โ
โ all iโve seen has changed my mind, but still the wars go on as the years go by โ
โ yesterday, there was so many things i was never told โ
โ now iโm starting to learn, i feel iโm growing old โ
โ time just fades the pages in my book of memories โ
โ iโll keep on moving along with no time to plant my feet โ
โ some things could be better if weโd all just let them be โ
โ itโs getting dark, too dark to see, feels like iโm knocking on heavenโs door โ
โ that cold black cloud is coming down โ
โ when sometimes we get burned, youโd think sometimes weโd learn โ
โ the one you love is the one that should take you higher โ
โ sometimes weโre so far off the beaten track, weโll get taken for a ride โ
โ when i look around, everybody always brings me down โ
โ remember in this game we call life, that no one said itโs fair โ
โ iโve come to know the cold, i think of it as home โ
โ when there ainโt enough of me to go around, iโd rather be left alone โ
โ if i call you out of habit, iโm out of love and i gotta have it โ
โ fun how everything was roses when we held on to the guns โ
โ just because youโre winning donโt mean youโre the lucky oneโs โ
โ you can fool yourself, you came in this world alone โ
โ so whatโll happen to you baby, guess weโll have to wait and see โ
โ young at heart but itโs getting much too late, to find ourselves so far apart โ
โ how could you say that i never needed you, when you took everything โ
โ no one i know can seem to help me now โ
โ when i find out all the reason, maybe iโll find another way, find another day โ
โ with all the changing seasons of my life, maybe iโll get it right next time โ
โ seems everything weโve ever knownโs here, why must it drift away and die โ
โ iโll never find anyone to replace you โ
โ guess iโll have to make it through, this time, oh this time, without you โ
โ iโm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn and iโll rip your heart in two โ
โ iโll be out the door before you wake, itโs nothing new to you โ
โ you could be mine, but youโre way out of line โ
โ when i come home late at night, donโt ask me where iโve been โ
โ it donโt matter how we make it โcause it always ends the same โ
โ i donโt have plans and schemes and i donโt have hopes and dreams โ
โ i donโt have anything, since i donโt have you โ
โ when you walked out on me, in walked old misery โ
โ i know somewhere inside, there is a special light, still shining bright โ
โ thereโs no one else could ever make me feel iโm so alive โ
โ please allow me to introduce myself โ
โ whatโs puzzling you, is the nature of my game โ
