Simon Webbe - Sanctuary (2005) by Simon Webbe (보컬) on maniadb.com

Sometimes life can
be a burden
Tryna stay one step ahead
I feel the world upon
my shoulder each time
I'm standing out on the edge
my hopes have
all deserted me
Like they washed
away in the sand
And it's hurting my pride
Tryna survive
But i know i stand a chance
When you lay your hands
Oh yeah
'Coz 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
show me the way
Oh
if 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
You're by my side
to turn the tide
Until the suffering fades
When life is getting me down
getting me down
i'm 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
Still I gotta keep
on moving on
But I can't do it on my own
Baby keep my head
above water
Help me swim for my life
'Coz the game is
getting harder
The strain is
gettin stronger
And I can only face
the fight
When you lay your hands
Oh yeah
'Coz 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
show me the way
Oh
if 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
You're by my side
to turn the tide
Until the suffering fades
When life is getting me down
getting me down
i'm close to defeat
Come and lay
your hands on me
'Til I'm healed again
Rediscovered my strengths
Those bitter blues are gone
Oh gone

Oh baby when I'm calling out
Give me love and affection
Keep telling me
show me the way
Oh
if 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
You're by my side
to turn the tide
Until the suffering fades
When life is getting me down
getting me down
i'm close to defeat
Come and lay
your hands on me

lay your hands on me
on me

lay your hands
lay your hands
Come and lay
your hands on me
lay your hands
lay your hands

So, is this how it goes,
Think you've come this far,
And then it'll show,
But that aint so, oh no,
You don't see where you are,
And if you don't wanna look back
You'll never know,
Cuz you think that you've been here
Just treading water
Waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
And you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah
To the life you're imagining

(I just know your life's gonna change)
Maybe not today, maybe not today,
But some day soon you'll be alright,
(I just know your life's gonna change)
Turn the other way, turn the other way,
Feels like luck is on your side,
No worries, no worries,
No worries, no worries

After all, the broken storms
that were thrown, for no good reason
inside, she's loving him still
after all this time
And though her heart, begs the stars
No sign of healing, It's All right
She's loving him still, after all this time.

ohh yeahh

Trying to push the past away
still waiting for the lights to change
try, try for the sake of it
learning to barely feel the pain
(cant figure out this line??)
And though it's really hurting
she aint breaking, breaking, breaking
coz 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 see you found a different guy
and it all seems perfect,
and that's how she wants it
coz she's loving him still,
after all this time.

Trying to push the past away
still waiting for the lights to change
try, try for the sake of it
learning to barely feel the pain
(cant figure out this line)
And though it's really hurting
she aint breaking, breaking, breaking
coz she's loving him still, after all this time

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 thats why she's loving him still
for the rest of her life, she's loving him still
for the last of many
she's loving him still
after all this time

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

<i>[chorus]</i>
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

<i>[chorus]</i>

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

<i>[chorus]</i>

You say, you've got all you'd ever want
Then how come you're Demanding everything
A little more from everyone
You're always
Turning all my rights to wrongs
With the bitter words you're whispering
I see we've come undone, well
There's something wrong about it
Your life's too over crowded
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I Guess
I'm wasting your time, baby
If something within you
Can't be satisfied
Then Get up, Get out, Give In, oh if
I'm cramping your style, lately
If something is greener on the other side
Then go on, and have
The time of your life


Shameful, always treated me the same
Twisting every little circumstance
In to your gain
Resentful, gone too far to give a damn
All those things that did belong to me
Keep 'em like you planned, well
There's no two ways about it
My life's too short for shouting
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I guess
I'm wasting your time, baby
If something within you Can't be satisfied
Then Get up, Get out, Give In, oh if
I'm cramping your style, lately
If something is greener on the other side
Then go on, and have
The time of your life


Ain't no reason in me holding you down
So move on baby, and someone else
proud, because...
I'm wasting your time, baby
If something within you
Can't be satisfied
Then Get up, Get out, Give In, oh if
I'm cramping your style, lately
If something is greener on the other side
Then go on, and have
The time of your life
The time of your life
The time of your life
The time of your life
The time of your life
There's no two ways about it
My life's too short for shouting
I'm tired of giving it all
And taking the fall, I guess

Good love, left me feeling kinda bad,
Riled up, after all the fun we had,
Put off, by your dirty meddlin'
Ain't that long since,
I was your hootchie cootchie man,

But you're getting off spreading dirty lies,
Ya' broke promise don't come as no surprise,
No, no, that ain't gonna bother me,
I ain't making a scene,

Chorus
So have it your way,
But you'll pay the price,
You had ya chances,
Still got no answers,
No leaving with your head held high,
I ain't gonna run,
I ain't gonna fight,
So don't go making business,
When you ain't got no witness,
I guess you gotta let love lie,
Unjustified,

So sad, turning on me like you did,
Cold cash, got you like a sedative,
Lifestyle, live the life of luxury,
While somehow, I'm sleeping with the enemy,

You'll get none of that money making lies,
You can't bare to do better thinking twice,
If you're taking me on, you're doing it all wrong yeah,
And where d'ya get that attitude from?

Chorus

I thought that I was seeing something else,
Something sweeter, nothing like the rest,
But you were trouble dressed as tenderness,
'cause this deception that you played on me,
Has left you where you didn't wanna be,
But don't come knockin' here for sympathy,

Chorus

Yours were the words that I won't forget,
Mine are the ones that I won't regret,
Made me feel good and I told you that,
But you twist the knife when I turned my back,
You took a chance and you lost control,
Got little heart and you got no soul,
Guess all of these things, gotta let love lie,
Unjustified

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
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
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,
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
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
not me

the sun is shining through
oh this perfect morning
and I know that I am blessed
but I'm guilty nonetheless
so many people lost
so many people hurting
and I wish I had a way
to make everything okay
I don't know why
how we got here
but i reach inside
and the answer clear
only love can heal the pain
it can right the wrong
can take the blame
only love can realize
nothin' more we need
cause it's all inside
so we fight, fight, fight
and we won't let go and we reach up high
til everybody knows
only love can understand
only love can bring us together again


and it seems since time began
that people just been fightin'
and it ain't just black or white
and it ain't just wrong or right
and I get so overwhelmed
so disconnected
til you reach out to me
you know just what I need
as long as I
can hold you near
it's gonna be alright
won't have no fear
only love can heal the pain
it can right the wrong
can take the blame
only love can realize
nothin' more we need
cause it's all inside
so we fight, fight, fight
and we won't let go and we reach up high
til everybody knows
only love can understand
only love can bring us together again
I pray for peace to shine on you and me
I pray for strenght, hope and faith
for love to lead the way
and we won't run run
and we'll rise above
only love, love, love
and we'll fight, fight, fight
for the light, light, light
and we won't stop, no
only love can heal the pain
it can right the wrong
can take the blame
only love can realize
nothin' more we need
cause it's all inside
so we fight, fight, fight
and we won't let go and we reach up high
til everybody knows
only love can understand
only love can bring us together again
Only Love

Ask me where the worst place
Could possibly be,
Well I'm already there girl
Guess how long it took
To set all my demons free
Well I'm already there girl

I got my wake up call
When you shut that door
And it all became clear to me

[Chorus]
All I want is you
I'm no longer confused
My life is not the same and I'm to blame
I need you babe
Say this love won't die
Give me one more try
Don't really have to say
You gotta leave you wanna break
I need you Baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

I swear I'll change my ways
If you promise to stay
Wanna know my biggest fear girl

So take a look at me
See how I've changed
There's no-one to take your place

[Chorus]

I need you babe

Girl I know I did you wrong
Yeah baby
I gladly take you back if I could oh..
I don't wanna fuss and fight
Just gotta make things right
We've still got the time

All I want is you
I'm no longer confused
My life is not the same and I'm to blame
I need you babe
Say this love won't die
Give me one more try
Don't really have to say
You gotta leave you wanna break

[Chorus]

All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

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 too, 'cause' 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 who's 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??br>
Chorus
I realize 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, I 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)

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

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

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’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

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

all of the boys and the girls at the party
and I'm the only one alone
so I crossed the dance floor
heading for the back door
ready to make my way home
but wait a minute what's this I see
J-lo glow and legs to spare
something you got put it on me
guess I ain't going anywhere
I don't know what it is
but it's shining like a star
so come on over
and show me who you are
a little closer I can't touch it from afar
just you and me girl
dirty dancing in the dark
and oh..
well we could talk a little
laugh a while and maybe talk a little more
but let's sidestep the usual bullshit
make our way onto the floor
baby there's something bright about you
youe eyes, your smile, youe style of dress
you make me feel like I'm a sinner
and now I'm ready to confess
I don't know what it is
but it's shining like a star
so come on over
and show me who you are
a little closer I can't touch it from afar
just you and me girl
dirty dancing in the dark
and oh..
and oh if you let me touch your body
girl I'll let you put it on me
I can make you feel so good, so good..
and oh if you let me touch your body
girl I'll let you put it on me
and I really wish you would, you would
so everybody, everybody
nice and slow now
with the flow now
so everybody, everybody
nice and slow now
with the flow now
so everybody, everybody
nice and slow now
with the flow now
so everybody, everybody
nice and slow now
I don't know what it is
but it's shining like a star
so come on over
and show me who you are
a little closer I can't touch it from afar
just you and me girl
dirty dancing in the dark
and oh..
