Thankful Lyrics

The Trouble With Love Is

Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind
It'll fool ya every time

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
Its stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See you've got no say at all

Now I was once a fool its true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my worlds a deeper blue
I'm sadder but I'm wiser too
I swore I'd never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn't worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name

Chorus

Every time I turn around
I think I've got it all figured out
My heart keep callin'
And I keep on fallin'
Over and over again
The sad story always ends the same
Me standin in the pourin rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two

Chorus

Miss Independent

Miss independent
Miss self sufficient
Miss keep your distance
Miss unafraid
Miss out my way
Miss don't let a man interfere, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She'd never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
I said ooo, she fell in love

CHORUS:

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise its time to feel whats real
What happened to Miss independent
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye old you when love is true

Miss guarded heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didnt want to end up jaded
And this Miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love

Chorus

When Miss independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to Miss no longer afraid
It took some time for her to see

How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
Im so glad I finally see

Chorus

Low

Everybody's talking
But they dont say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don't want their sympathy
Its cool you didn't want me
Sometimes you can't go back
By why'd you have to go
And make a mess like that
Well I just have say before I let go

CHORUS:
Have you ever been low
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know
Were you left out in the cold
Cause what you did was low

No I don't need your number
There's nothing left to say
'Cept I never thought itd
Hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I've gotta go

Chorus

I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can't say that
This to show for all the time I loved you so

Chorus

Some Kind Of Miracle

Prayed for an angel
To come in the night
And shine some sweet light on me
Found only strangers
Then you came to me
Just when I'd given up, you gave me love
My world was tumbling down
You turned it around baby

CHORUS:
You, you're some kind of miracle
You are, you're a miracle to me

Sweet revelation
That look in your eyes
Your touch in the night
I find the sweetest salvation
In your arms baby
Warm as the morning sun, your tender love
Came and just lifted me up
Look what you've done baby

Chorus

You brought joy to my heart
I found love in your arms
See what you've done to me
You set my soul so free
You came and you gave me the love that I need

You, you're some kind of miracle
You are, you're a miracle, a miracle to me
Baby you are, a miracle to me

What's Up Lonely

Blue, I'm getting kinda close to you
Like a shadow I can't lose
Hey, you've been hangin with me every day
Now you're gettin' in my way
I know you understand me
But dont ya think that maybe its time to move on

CHORUS:
What's up lonely
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me heartache
Whats it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today
Just when I think that you're gone
Youre in the mirror lookin' back at me
So what's up lonely

Sometimes, I wish you weren't by my side
Can't you find another shoulder, cause I
I wanna leave this broken heart behind
We been wastin' too much time
Find someone else to rain on
Im really getting tired of singin this sad song

Chorus

Don't wanna give you a reason
To hang around anymore
You won't be hurting my feelings
If you find another broken heart you can lean on

Just Missed The Train

Roll over baby, the time has come
to make a little bit more room
I've hung around you, it's getting tough
I think I'm gonna break down soon

I remember, crying in the park, it was getting dark
Suddenly I looked up
You were my sky
So go on and
Sleep darling
Why don't you pretend we were just a dream
It's cool baby
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
It's such a shame
We just missed the train

Be quiet angel, don't make a sound
Save it for a rainy day
Oh can't you see me, I'm such a mess
trying hard to find my way

Do you remember, wasting all that time, we were feeling fine
Though we couldn't walk a line
We were alright

So go on and
Sleep darling
Why don't you pretend we were just a dream
It's cool baby
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
It's such a shame
We just missed the train

Oh, why'd that train just pass us by
Didn't anyone see
We were stuck at the light
Or we would've made it on time

So sleep darling
Why don't you pretend we were just a dream
It's cool baby
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
It's such a shame
We just missed the train

Beautiful Disaster

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's a damned as he seems
More Heaven than a heart could hold

And if I tried to save him
My whole world could cave in
Just ain't right
Just ain't right

Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
If I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight

Chorus

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waiting so long

He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the ends he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take

Chorus

You Thought Wrong (ft. Tamyra Gray)

I see how you're tryin' to weasel
Your way in and boy I know how
You maneuver with your
Your confusion

You tell me that I'm your only
And how bad that you want me
Then why are you so shady
If I'm supposed to be your lady

Why should I believe anything you say
And how could you shame me that way
Tell me where, where'd you get the nerve
To even think I'd do you could play me for

CHORUS:
You thought we didn't know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your cover's blown
'Cause we both know now, oh no
You thought you had us both
At your beckon call
But now who's the joke
And look who's laughing now

Now you're trying to use us
Against one another but it won't work
I see right through your game boy
And I know exactly where the blame falls

You, you try to deny all your actions
For once in your life be a real man
At least give me the proper respect of the truth
I already know you did it

Why should I believe anything you say
And how could you treat me that way
Where'd you get the nerve to even think that you
You could play me boy

Chorus

Now I see right through you baby
You try to tell me you want me
Can't you just get it through your thick head
'Cause I have seen this game before and
Now I'm showing you the door so
Shut your mouth I'm night tryin' to hear your lies again

Sorry you couldn't be a better man

Chorus

Thankful

You know my soul
You know everything about me theres to know
You know my heart
How to make me stop and how to make me go
You should know
I love everything about you
Dont you know

CHORUS:
That I'm thankful
For the blessings and the lessons
That I've learned with you by my side
That I'm thankful
For the love that you
Keep bringing in my life
In my life

You know my thoughts
Before I open up my mouth and try to speak
You know my dreams
Must be listening when I'm talking in my sleep
I hope you know
I love having you around me
Don't you know

Chorus

For the lessons that, that I've learned
From the troubles I've known
For the heartache and pain
Thrown in my way
When I didn't think that I could go on but you made me feel strong
With you I am never alone

Chorus

Anytime (featured in J2K)

Anytime you feel
Like you just can't hold on
Just hold on to my love
I'll help you be strong

But you're so afraid to lose
And baby I can't reach your heart
I can't face this world it's keeping us apart
And I could be the one to show you
Everything you missed before
Just hold on now
'Cause I could be the one to give you more

CHORUS:
Anytime you need a love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one that can make it all right
Anytime you need a love baby you're in my heart
I could make it all right

I look into your eyes
And I feel it coming through
I can't help but want you more than I want to
So baby take our love your way
Cast them all on me
That's all I ever wanted was just to make you see

But I could be the one to heal you
All that you've been searching for
Just hold on to my love
And baby let me give you more

Chorus

Now there's no way out
And I can't help the way I feel
'Cause baby I'm on fire
And I'll be waiting right here
You know our love isn't real

Chorus

A Moment Like This

What if I told you it was all meant to be
Would you believe me, would you believe
Its almost that feelin' we met before
So tell me that you dont think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Everything changes but beauty remains
Some things so tender I can't explain
Well I may be dreamin' but until I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll try to show the love we share

Chorus

Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Chorus

Before Your Love

I wonder how I ever
Made it through a day
How did I settle for a
World in shades of grey
When you go in circles
All the scenery looks the same

And you don't know why
Then I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out
In front of me
And I realized

I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love

I wanted more than
Just an ordinary life
All of my dreams
Seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you
And my heart is in
Your hands

And I don't know how
I survived without your kiss
'Cause youve given me
A reason to exist

Chorus

And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me
Just in time

Chorus
