Incomplete
Tell me now
The way that I should feel
Show me how
I can make this real
Talk to me
Tell me
That I have your love
Touch me there
Kiss me here
Take us to the clouds above
All the nights I'm waiting (keep)
All the nights I'm losing sleep
All the nights I'm fading (deep)
All the nights I feel so...

How Could You Have Known
Tender moments even though
they aren't supposed to be
Rushed and careless
awkward goodbyes
when you should be holding me
I imagined you were trying
to explain or justify
To make it hurt less
trying to look past me
while you dared to confess
How could you have known
What would you have done
Your heart would feel the same
and we would come undone
But how could I have known
What would I have done?
I'd take you in my arms
after you had gone
You can't do anything with knowing
yet sometimes knowing is enough
You can't promise forever or
move closer to the fall
when the waters feel too rough
My mind talks too much for you
Things you may not think
words you may never say
But it leaves me with loud silence
and clear confusion every day
How could I have known
What would I have done
I'd take you in my arms and
tell you you're the one
How could you have known
What would you have done
Your heart would never feel the same
and you would turn to run
How could you have known
What would you have done
You never felt the same and
I didn't know how to run
they aren't supposed to be
Rushed and careless
awkward goodbyes
when you should be holding me
I imagined you were trying
to explain or justify
To make it hurt less
trying to look past me
while you dared to confess
How could you have known
What would you have done
Your heart would feel the same
and we would come undone
But how could I have known
What would I have done?
I'd take you in my arms
after you had gone
You can't do anything with knowing
yet sometimes knowing is enough
You can't promise forever or
move closer to the fall
when the waters feel too rough
My mind talks too much for you
Things you may not think
words you may never say
But it leaves me with loud silence
and clear confusion every day
How could I have known
What would I have done
I'd take you in my arms and
tell you you're the one
How could you have known
What would you have done
Your heart would never feel the same
and you would turn to run
How could you have known
What would you have done
You never felt the same and
I didn't know how to run
Shadows
Your eyes
they capture me
You move my soul
Your voice
it takes me there
I lose control
I want to feel you near
my one desire
To hold you close to me
I want you to know...
(c)
Shadows covering my eyes
can't see
But I can feel you
walking through my dreams
Take my hand
we'll run away from here
Close your eyes and
I will be right there
You know
I'm wanting this
to feel your touch
I need
to make you see
just how much
I taste
your breath upon
my snow white skin
You feel
me touching you
I want you to know...
(c)
Shadows covering your eyes
can't see
But you can feel me
walking through your dreams
Take my hand we'll run away from here
Close your eyes and
I will be right there
Close your eyes and
I am always there
they capture me
You move my soul
Your voice
it takes me there
I lose control
I want to feel you near
my one desire
To hold you close to me
I want you to know...
(c)
Shadows covering my eyes
can't see
But I can feel you
walking through my dreams
Take my hand
we'll run away from here
Close your eyes and
I will be right there
You know
I'm wanting this
to feel your touch
I need
to make you see
just how much
I taste
your breath upon
my snow white skin
You feel
me touching you
I want you to know...
(c)
Shadows covering your eyes
can't see
But you can feel me
walking through your dreams
Take my hand we'll run away from here
Close your eyes and
I will be right there
Close your eyes and
I am always there

Metamorphosis
Beneath the harsh, cold January freeze
A butterfly safe in her cocoon believes
Inside of her, a fragile and protected heart
A strength from within that will carry her far
Wings are forming and will bring new changes
the beauty of her destiny revealed in stages
Quietly she sleeps still and secure
Words heal her wounds and her love remains pure
The wind whips harshly through the forest and trees
Safely dreaming the butterfly is forever at ease
Watch this miracle emerge into the light
As she flutters her wings and embraces life
The butterfly flies far and forever to find Home
And silently lands on the branches alone
She is a guardian angel to your deep love
Even a butterfly can be found in the stars above
Throughout time and seasons she follows a path
Softly smiling and thinking, she remembers the past
Anticipating the place where her restless soul will
stay...
Her colors are different now
but they will never fade away
A butterfly safe in her cocoon believes

Let Me Go
(guitar intro)
The moonlight shining on your face
takes me to a brighter place
One where we would sit underneath the stars
But now I wonder where you go
when you're lookin' out your cold window
Are you missing her?
Is she wonderin' where you are?
I've seen red and I've been blue
but I know what you really wanna do
So pack your bags and head right for the door
I can't take these games we play
(you never really loved me anyway)
and my broken heart
won't stay around for more
(c)
I've been crying crying to myself
and not feeling so strong
Am I just lying lying to myself
wishing for much more
You love her
and he loves me
That's the just the way it's gonna be
so let me go, or let it be
Then I saw you yesterday
I didn't know what to do or say
When I saw you walkin' through the park
You never held my hand so tight
or kissed me in the broad daylight
Now I realize we would never get that far
Years will pass and we will fade
in another's arms we'll find our faith
But you can't erase the pain that we both know
If I could do it all again
I'd walk away before the end
so I wouldn't have to stay around...
anymore
(C)
Cause I've been crying, crying to myself
and not feeling so strong
And I've been lying, lying to myself
knowing it's so wrong
You love her and he loves me
and that's just the way it's gonna be
so let me go, or let it be
You love her and he loves me
and that was the way it was meant to be
so let me go...
and let it be
The moonlight shining on your face
takes me to a brighter place
One where we would sit underneath the stars
But now I wonder where you go
when you're lookin' out your cold window
Are you missing her?
Is she wonderin' where you are?
I've seen red and I've been blue
but I know what you really wanna do
So pack your bags and head right for the door
I can't take these games we play

Transcendental Lullaby
The door was opening
But I couldn’t see your face
I contemplated for one moment –
Felt so out of place
And then you sang to me
Your transcendental lullaby
But now you’re leaving me
And I will not ask you why
Matters of the heart
Are complicated and too deep
Why would I give to you forever
Something false and incomplete
And when you sang to me
Your transcendental lullaby
I felt you lift me up
But my wings will never fly
The room turned darker soon
And everything looked so unclear
You ran from what I couldn’t give you
Your mind relied too much on fear
I tried to sing to you
Our transcendental lullaby
But with no voice to give
You had to say goodbye
The door closed long ago
While I was standing in the rain
I wandered through a maze of shadows
Fell to my knees and asked for grace
I heard your song again
Some transcendental lullaby
But I walked on my love
And I never saw you cry
But I couldn’t see your face
I contemplated for one moment –
Felt so out of place
And then you sang to me
Your transcendental lullaby
But now you’re leaving me
And I will not ask you why
Matters of the heart
Are complicated and too deep
Why would I give to you forever
Something false and incomplete
And when you sang to me
Your transcendental lullaby
I felt you lift me up
But my wings will never fly
The room turned darker soon
And everything looked so unclear
You ran from what I couldn’t give you
Your mind relied too much on fear
I tried to sing to you
Our transcendental lullaby
But with no voice to give
You had to say goodbye
The door closed long ago
While I was standing in the rain
I wandered through a maze of shadows
Fell to my knees and asked for grace
I heard your song again
Some transcendental lullaby
But I walked on my love
And I never saw you cry

How My Heart Can Bleed
The shadows pull me closer
to the emptiness I feel
when you're around
you don't see me or hear me
I'm breathing thoughts
into your mind
imprisoned by your shallow soul
and want...to be set free
But you forgot to love me
You forgot to show me
(what was behind your steel walls)
they are rising higher
and I have no more ways to show you how.....
How my heart can bleed
Lost, and so alone
I cry out begging for you to feel me
when you're near but you ignore me
look past my eyes
You take my needs away from me
and crush the strength that heals me
and I want...to be set free
But you forgot to know me
You forgot to cherish what was given
(to your empty heart)
You never opened up
and I have no more ways
to show you how...
How my heart can bleed
I feel the pain
(growing inside)
Push you away
(I have to hide)
You can't be
(the one for me)
I have to leave...
It hurts to stay
(goodbye to you)
I cannot play
(such twisted games)
My soul must be set free...
Now I feel
a stronger part of me
that takes this burden
and destroys all that you gave me
(nothing at all)
Listen as I walk away
and cry out in the loudest voice -
I cannot find you...
You forgot to hold me
You forgot to taste my sorrow
(carry me through)
storms and darkness find you
but I had no more ways
to show you how...
How my heart could bleed
to the emptiness I feel
when you're around
you don't see me or hear me
I'm breathing thoughts
into your mind
imprisoned by your shallow soul
and want...to be set free
But you forgot to love me
You forgot to show me
(what was behind your steel walls)
they are rising higher
and I have no more ways to show you how.....
How my heart can bleed
Lost, and so alone
I cry out begging for you to feel me
when you're near but you ignore me
look past my eyes
You take my needs away from me
and crush the strength that heals me
and I want...to be set free
But you forgot to know me
You forgot to cherish what was given
(to your empty heart)
You never opened up
and I have no more ways
to show you how...
How my heart can bleed
I feel the pain
(growing inside)
Push you away
(I have to hide)
You can't be
(the one for me)
I have to leave...
It hurts to stay
(goodbye to you)
I cannot play
(such twisted games)
My soul must be set free...
Now I feel
a stronger part of me
that takes this burden
and destroys all that you gave me
(nothing at all)
Listen as I walk away
and cry out in the loudest voice -
I cannot find you...
You forgot to hold me
You forgot to taste my sorrow
(carry me through)
storms and darkness find you
but I had no more ways
to show you how...
How my heart could bleed
