Clay Aiken - On My Way Here (2008) by Clay Aiken (보컬) on maniadb.com

I took my first step
On that black and
white kitchen floor
I sometimes wonder
if that house
Is even there anymore
I had my first
glimpse of love
When I was five
I watched two people
split apart
But still the three
of us survived
I've seen the best
I've seen the worst
I wouldn't change what
I've been through
I've touched the sky
I've hit the wall
But I did what I had to
Ooooohhhh
On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to
leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end
it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here

My address has changed
Almost every year
I've found that standing still
Can quickly make a
lifetime disappear
I'd rather try and fail
A thousand times denied
And this whenever
you feel pain
It lets you know
that you're alive
I've been a fool
I've been afraid
Yeah I've been loved
I've been lied to
I've been wrong
And I've been right
I stood up when I had to
On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to
leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end
it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here
No guarantees
I believed that I would find
An open door or a light
To lead me to the other side
I guess that is why

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want
to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want
to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here

Someone told me
what doesn't kill you
only makes you stronger
sets you free
From all that held you down
With all my heart
I beleived the end of burning
Was a dream deep in me
When everything
went up in flames
I still walked away
Turn around and see
what love's done for me
You would not beleive
the way I used to be so cold
Maybe love requires walking
through the fire
To set me free so
I can rise up from the ashes

I was broken
A million pieces left to whole
I was frozen my heart
left out in the cold
Looking back I can't see
a voice of reasoning
Can't remind me I was never
good enough somehow
Try to remind me now
Turn around and see
what love's done for me
You would not beleive the way
I used to be so cold
Maybe love requires
walking through the fire
To set me free so I can
rise up from the ashes
Ended up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I'm no pain
One more life
Turn around and see
what love's done for me
You would not beleive the way
I used to be so cold
Maybe love requires
walking through the fire
To set me free
To set me free
To set me free so
I can rise up from the ashes

The ashes
To rise up from the ashes

Get out of my dreams
There's no room left
Get out of my bed
we did goodbye yesterday
Don't you think
I heard what you said
You want to much
You play to hard
invade
my morning light again
Don't wanna answer the phone
I went to sleep last night angry
I'm sure I was alone
You know me well
Always ring my bell
And tell me what
would I want from you
Cause you tried so
hard to be who you are
but there's no way
I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
cause come this far
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need

I don't wanna listen to answers
To the questions I didn't ask
It's all about you I wanna move out
before the breakdown starts
It's all wrong
Won't you let me go
And tell me
what would I want from you
Cause you tried so
hard to be who you are
but there's no way
I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need
You fill my head
You block my view
It's killing me
You're everything I don't need

Every all I do I'll be free
cause you've taken everything
Everything I don't need
What would I want from you
Cause you tried so
hard to be who you are
but there's no way
I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far
but it has to stop
You're everything
everything I don't need
Last of a dying breed

Stop the music, play the song We'll dance together all night long The spotlight glows, somehow it knows, That there's something about us Something about us People smile when they walk by There's too much magic to deny A fool can see we're meant to be 'cause there's something about us, something about us The words on every poet's tongue Every love song ever sung about us, it's about us From Romeo and Juliet, to plays they haven't written yet It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two of our perfectly perfect love You can see it in our ways in how we spend our nights and days A crazy laugh, a photograph There's just something about something about us The words on every poet's tongue Every love song ever sung about us, it's about us From Romeo and Juliet, to plays they haven't written yet It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two of our perfectly perfect love So stop the music, play the song And we'll dance together all night long We'll reminisce of moments like this Cause there's something about us something about us yes, there something about us....

Silence long lost friend You've come to me again Night comes closing in And the lonliness within I'm older- should be wiser Still I never seem to learn I'm closer than ever to the edge And I'm falling- I am falling From the world I use to know Been tring to hold on for something for so long Now this never ending dream wont let go I am falling Restless I lie awake And try to escape Memories that never sleep Taste of bitter sweet And I hold on to forever Still I'm stuck in yesterday I'm closer than ever to the edge And I'm falling I am falling From the world i used to know Been trying to hold on to something for so long Now this never ending dream wont let go Come back and try to wake me up again I can face this world alone In my dream I return again I am falling I am falling I am falling I am falling From the world I used to know Been trying to hold on to something for so long now this never ending dream wont let go I am falling I am falling I am falling I am falling Been trying to hold on to something for so long now this never ending dream wont let go I am falling I am falling I am falling I am falling

It's all as it should be You're the best thing that ever happened to me I melt every time we kiss I never felt anything like this It's almost too perfect And just like the thunder brings the rain Something beautiful brings on the pain It looks like it's going to be the same this time around I want to let you in but I don't know how I've been here one to many times Seems like whenever I let somebody get this close I'm right back where I got hurt the most And that's why, oh that's why Around my heart is where I draw the line I wish I could just forget Not have one more regret behind me to remind me What I've given up Could I ever live with this Knowing that I might have missed my last chance For love to find me I could stay here drowning in the rain Unless you have the strength to save me Nothing's going to change And it's going to be the same this time around I want to let you in but I don't know how I've been here one to many times Seems whenever I let somebody get this close I'm right back where I got hurt the most And that's why, oh that's why Around my heart is where I draw the line Either you're gonna rescue me Or you're gonna be the death of me It's going to be the same this time around I want to let you in but I don't know how I've been here one to many times Whenever I let somebody get this close I'm right back where I got hurt the most And that's why, oh that's why Around my heart is where I draw the line Around my heart is where I draw the line

Foolish heart looks like we're here again Same old game of plastic smile Don't let anybody in Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break How much will they take before I'm empty Do I let it show, does anybody know? But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Oh, cause you see the real me Painted on, life is behind a mask Self-inflicted circus clown I'm tired of the song and dance Living a charade, always on parade What a mess I've made of my existence But you love me even now And still I see somehow But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Oh, cause you see the real me Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into A perfect tapestry I just wanna be me But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Oh, cause you see the real me And you love me just as I am Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me

Has anybody else but me Ever felt this way before Like the world is spinning Much too fast And you're falling thru the floor Struck by lightning It so frightening When the morning feels like war Unbreakable (Don't you wish you were) Unbreakable So, when you fall Down, Down, Down Don't get down on you Don't you know that Everybody gets Down, Down, Down Why you trying to Carry the weight of the world Some folks say that We've been blessed And I know deep down They're right But when you're feeling cold Alone and desperate and can't get thru the night It seems the only time You test your wings You're crashing through the sky Unbreakable (Don't you wish you were) Unbreakable So, when you fall Down, Down, Down Don't get down on you Don't you know that Everybody gets Down, Down, Down Why you trying to Carry the weight of the world Has anybody else but me Ever felt this way before So, when you fall Down, Down, Down Don't get down on you Don't you know that Everybody gets Down, Down, Down Why are you trying to Carry the weight of the world (Down, Down, Down) Don't get down on you Don't you know that Everybody gets Down(Down, Down) Why are you trying to Carry the weight of the world I know its hard to see The way you are right now I know it's hard to breathe Just let the world go round And, Round, Round, Round Why are you trying to Carry the weight of the world (Down, Down, Down)

Why do we have to fight Why can't spend our time trying I wanna be close to you Keep love from slipping through my hands The words said in anger aimed at someone Are hard to take back once the damage is done Let's stop now As long as we're here alive on this earth I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth And one of these days we're gonna take off and fly Let's make the most of of our time As long as we're here (yeah) Some people live their lives Holding their fears inside them Afraid to build windows To let the light of the world in They hide in the darkness of self-imposed walls If they could just tear them down they'd have it all As long as we're here alive on this earth I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth And one of these days we're gonna take off and fly Let's make the most of of our time As long as we're here (yeah yeah yeah) When you're with me I breathe easy You are my need right now love me As long as we're here (as long as we're here) I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you) And one of these days we're gonna take off and fly As long as we're here alive on this earth I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth And one of these days we're gonna take off and fly Let's make the most of of our time Oh make the most of our time As long as we're here As long as we're here

Sometimes I feel like I'm chasing the shadows in your eyes Loosing my footing and looking for something I recognize You tell me youre here for forever But act like youre passing through Which ones the real you Which ones the real you Are you only practicing until you find the real thing Taking up space until you find yourself the perfect face Are you looking over my shoulder am I enough or just the sacrificial love I know when we started I kind of talked you into it I was good for the moment but now somethings missing from your kiss I see you lying beside me but I feel your moving on Which ones the real you Which ones the real you Are you only practicing until you find the real thing Taking up space until you find yourself the perfect face Are you looking over my shoulder am I enough or just your sacrificial love Do I have to spill my tears Teach you how to say goodbye If thats not what I am to you then what am I What am I Are you only practicing until you find the real thing Taking up space until you find yourself the perfect face Are you looking over my shoulder am I enough or just the sacrificial love Or just your sacrificial love

Some folks always get the rough ride Seem they end up on the wrong side Constant battle just to survive on any given day I watched a mother on my TV Hungry children that she can't feed Still I've got everything that I need And that just don't seem right That I sleep safe tonight There's got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Mother Earth is down on her knees Poison rivers run to dead seas Cities eating up the green fields We never question why How truth turns into lies There's got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I Sometimes it's hard to believe In a truth that you can't even see But faith holds the hope for the world And I know, I know There's got to be some rhyme or reason why We turn away and we close our eyes If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering There but for the grace of God go I When I'm thinking it's a bad day Feels like nothing's going my way I pass a wreck out on the freeway And I pray that they survived There but for the grace of God go I

Maybe I've convinced myself I've really been in love And I've been wrong All along For all I know the feeling and the picture That I've tried so hard to find isn't mine Could be it's all just a waiting game Wanna share my everything And on my own it's hard to tell my heart it will be all right This love it holds will one day find a home As hard as love can be it's harder still it seems To be a lover all alone without love Picking up the pieces makes me wonder if I only built it all to watch it fall The faster it can go away it means the less of me Has gone to stay I'm ok But I only found tomorrow comes anyway I'm alone for another day Another day And on my own it's hard to tell my heart it will be all right This love it holds will one day find a home As hard as love can be it's harder still it seems To be a lover all alone without love And on my own it's hard to tell my heart it will be all right And this love it holds will one day find a home As hard as love can be it's harder still it seems To be a lover all alone without love A lover all alone without love Maybe I've convinced myself I've really been in love But I've been wrong all along
