I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Though I have tried
Ah
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Mmm
I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried
Mmm-ah
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Mmm
Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It's gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Love is stronger
I still really love you
Love is stronger than pride

Nothing Can Come Between Us
I always hope that you remember
We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender
So hold on
In the middle of the madness
When the time is running out and you're left alone
All I want is you to know that
It's strong still
Can't pull us apart
Nothing (can come)
Can come (nothing can come)
Between us (nothing can come)
Nothing (between us)
Can pull us apart (yeah baby)

I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness
Hold on
So it truly is a good thing
And I always wanted you to know
There is always this and this is everlasting
Hold on
It's about faith
It's about trust, yeah, yeah
It's about faith
It's about trust

Haunt Me
Haunt me
In my dreams
If you please
You're breath is with me now and always
It's like a breeze
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me
And if you want to sleep
I'll be quiet
Like an angel
As quiet as your soul could be
If you only knew
You had a friend like me
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me
In my dreams
If you please
You're breath is with me now and always
It's like a breeze
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me
And if you want to sleep
I'll be quiet
Like an angel
As quiet as your soul could be
If you only knew
You had a friend like me
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me

Clean Heart
Clean heart
Clean and sharp
Clean dream
Bad start
He loved his brother and his sister
Luke and tony called him mister
They made him feel much more
Like a man
He loved his daddy though he never told him
And he loved his mother
He loved
He loved her like an italian
Little jane said, you look so fine
So fine
Something in his smile
Made them feel like strangers
And then he straightened his belt
With a lover's touch
And he said I'm gonna bring home
The things that are out of your clutch
Seemed like the hottest night in summer
A heat that makes you feel like dying
Somewhere in the next block
There was a baby crying
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
And as the moon slid up over the restless streets
Sirens mocking and people stop to see
Their greedy eyes don't realise
He's someone else's son
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Clean and sharp
Clean dream
Bad start
He loved his brother and his sister
Luke and tony called him mister
They made him feel much more
Like a man
He loved his daddy though he never told him
And he loved his mother
He loved
He loved her like an italian
Little jane said, you look so fine
So fine
Something in his smile
Made them feel like strangers
And then he straightened his belt
With a lover's touch
And he said I'm gonna bring home
The things that are out of your clutch
Seemed like the hottest night in summer
A heat that makes you feel like dying
Somewhere in the next block
There was a baby crying
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
And as the moon slid up over the restless streets
Sirens mocking and people stop to see
Their greedy eyes don't realise
He's someone else's son
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come

I Never Thought Id See The Day
You shed a shadow on my life
Shed a shadow on a love
Took the shelter out of my life
Took the shelter of a lie
I could see it in your restless eyes
The truth I was hiding
The truth you could not disguise
But I never thought I'd see the day
I knew I'd need a miracle to make you stay
I knew
I needed
A miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day
You put a shadow on a love
Took a shelter of a lie
Took the shelter out of my life
I wish you could shelter me
Shelter me now
I need a miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day
Shed a shadow on a love
Took the shelter out of my life
Took the shelter of a lie
I could see it in your restless eyes
The truth I was hiding
The truth you could not disguise
But I never thought I'd see the day
I knew I'd need a miracle to make you stay
I knew
I needed
A miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day
You put a shadow on a love
Took a shelter of a lie
Took the shelter out of my life
I wish you could shelter me
Shelter me now
I need a miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day
