undone

k. kelly

look what we’ve done now
those words they chill the air
one can hardly choose
when the heart’s beyond repair

gone is my innocence
stripped of my tenderness
lost are the father and son
i’m holding up walls till the war is won -
where is my holy one?
what will they say when i come undone?

see me here tonight
take all that you can hold
naked and so ripe
just so you can steal my soul

you take me through all of your sacraments
stealing till i relent 
pushing until i dissolve
i’m holding up walls till the war is won -
where is my holy one?
what will they say when i come undone?

i can see you through the light 
i know you mean no harm
i’ll give you all i can tonight
though it’s wrong, i’m so wrong

you can hardly see 
these fault lines that i hide
you can tear down all these walls
but i won’t let you inside

i’m finding that love here is just a game
chaos without a name
i’m thinking that i’ve lost my mind
but even now all has been said and done 
it’s me i keep running from
what will they say when i come undone?

if thats what you want

k. kelly

yes i can pretend if that’s what you want
we’ll act like more than friends if that’s what you want
so i’ll just close my eyes
but please don’t ask me why
cause for you i’d try if that’s what you want
if that’s what you want

so i will be your world if that’s what you need
and yes, i’ll be your girl if that’s what you need
and i will hold you tight
all through the still of night
and i will make things right if that’s what you need
if that’s what you need

hold me - never let me go
leave me - i’m the one that will break your heart i know
that i’m running towards the one thing
that i know i cannot find
and i know in the end i will leave
this love behind

so i will let you go if that’s what you say
you only say the words and i will make this pain go away
don’t read between the lines
cause i’m afraid you’ll find
that love’s not always kind when you find what you want
when you find what you need
when you find what you want

speak my heart

k. kelly

i can feel it in my bones
it’s been hanging on my soul
anytime i need to tell you 
i just close my eyes and know
i can go there in my dreams
float a million miles away
imagine everything i would tell you tonight
all the things i cannot say

it’s the way you speak my words
it’s the way you know my heart
it’s the way this heart’s been aching
every moment we’re apart
and i can see it in your eyes
i can hear it in your voice
the way that you’re making me feel inside
you know you give my heart no choice

i can tell you stories through the winter cold
i can sing you lies and you’ll never know
we can count the stars until the morning sun
i’ll give you all of my secrets one by one
i can make you laugh until you wanna cry
i can read your mind in the blink of my eye
can make you feel until you fall apart
tell you all of these things but i cannot
speak my heart

it’s the closest thing i’ve found
it’s the truest thing i see
it’s the hardest words i never spoke
yet it’s the seed that sets me free
it’s the prize i cannot touch
it’s the feeling i can’t know
it’s the piece of my heart that i’m running to find
it’s the heart i can’t let go

chorus

on and on i go...........wondering if you’ll ever
meet me there
on and on i go...........spilling all my dreams
into the air
on and on i go...........wondering if you’ll ever
feel it to
on and on i go...........how can you not see
that all i want is you?

i can tell you stories through the winter cold
i can sing you lies and you’ll never know
we can count the stars until the morning sun
i’ll give you all of my secrets one by one
i can make you laugh until you want to cry
i can read your mind in the blink of my eye
can make you feel until you fall apart
tell you all of these things but i cannot
speak my heart

sing me to sleep

k. kelly 

i will blind your eyes in darkness so you don’t have to
watch me crawl
i can finally see the answers, but i don’t know where to fall
and you say it’s hard to hold me
and you don’t know where to start
and i know inside if only you could find your way into my heart

well i’ve learned to just ignore it, but i know i’m losing sleep
i could listen to all the others, but i’ve learned their talk is cheap
i’ve not the strength to go and argue, if i could only fill this hole
you could catch me while i’m falling and never let go of my soul

sing me to sleep
tell me some lies
that everything will be alright if i close my eyes
and i’ll believe that it’s true and it’s pure and complete
i’ll believe what you say 
so won’t you sing me
sing me to sleep

if i had the words to tell you
i’m not sure that i could speak
cause i’m lonely and i’m restless and i’m tired and i’m weak
i can’t be the one you wanted
i can’t be the girl you keep
i’m not half of what you thought me
i’m the stuff of your dreams when you sleep

i can push it all beneath me
i’m a master of that trade
i’ve got a way of jumping ship just as your heart goes on parade
and i can see the way you hate me 
i can feel it in your eyes
but you’d give your last breath to me
you’d give me the stars and the sky

chorus

i know you’ll never understand
why i’m so hard to get through
but baby, somewhere in my plan
there was a place for you

sing me to sleep
tell me some lies
that everything will be alright if i close my eyes
and i’ll believe that it’s true
and i’m pure and complete
i’ll believe what you say
so won’t you sing me
sing me to sleep

jaded

k. kelly

used to be so young
used to be so strong
used to be you’d just outrun the ghosts that did you wrong
now the storm has settled in 
and it’s darkened up your skies
you turned to run but found you had no place to hide

and now you’re leavin’
you’re already gone
i can see it in your eyes
you stopped believin’
there’d come a better day
you cast your innocence aside

so they crushed your every hope
smashed your dreams open wide 
you throw your hands up in the air
and plead your God to tell you why
you can’t find your way out
you can’t find your way in
you surrender and await your day of reckoning

and now he’s leavin’
he’s already gone
i can see it in his eyes
he stopped believin’
he’d find a better day
he cast his innocence aside 

did you lose yourself out there?
did you somehow lose your way?
did you let yourself get jaded by the games they play?
now you’re coming up for air 
and your comin’ up for truth
you’re out to hang the thieves that came and stole your youth

let it go, let it be
you can have a medal for your bravery
let it go, let it rest
let it go, let it be
you’re gonna win this war but lose your sanity
let it go, let it be
close your eyes and you’ll set yourself free

and now he’s leavin’
he’s already gone
i can see it in his eyes
he stopped believin’
he’d find a better day
he cast his innocence aside

outside lookin' in

k. kelly / m. shilansky

i left you way back there in the land of Florida
said my good-byes in the eye of the hurricane
never looked back to see if you were behind me
never looked back to trace the hands of blame

got a lump in my throat it seems the size of Texas
you couldn’t make me swallow it if you tried
ever since i left that god-forsaken land behind me
it seems that i’ve forgotten how to cry

do you ever think back? do you ever think back?
do you ever think back to those days and wonder?
do you ever think back and wonder how you slept at night
while you held our heads down under?
someday the water’s
gonna rise up and wash away this sin
someday you’ll wake and then you’ll find yourself
on the outside lookin’ in

it’s funny how you claim you can’t remember
funny how you can not place your part
if you need some help remembering,
let me be the one you ask for
i’d love to help remind you how to break a heart

you say that your best friend well his name is Jesus
you and Jesus you see eye to eye
better find the words that scream forgiveness
better say some extra prayers tonight

do you ever think back? do you ever think back?
do you ever think back to those days and wonder?
do you ever think back and wonder how you slept at night
while you held our heads down under?
someday the water’s
gonna rise up and wash away this sin
someday you’ll wake and then you’ll find yourself
on the outside lookin’ in

when the morning comes

k. kelly

here we go again
i know these feelings oh too well
creeping in my soul
i feel defenseless
here we go again
another sleepless night
listening to the stars
give me my fortune

and your voice calls
and the night falls
without you in my arms
i can hear my heart beating
and the day breaks
still this heartache
will find me here alone
when the morning comes
when the morning comes
when the morning comes

strangers turn to friends
friends turn to strangers
people walking in and out of my life
is nothing new
and there, there’s you 
through thick and thin
where you have always been
won’t you tell me where i’m supposed to run
when i cannot run to you

chorus

i would sell my soul tonight
just to feel your touch
i’d give up my wildest dreams if you’d
take me away

and your voice calls 
and the night falls 
without you in my arms
i can hear my heart beating
and the day breaks
still this heartache
will find me here alone
when the morning comes
when the morning comes
when the morning comes

who you are

k. kelly

i remember the day they told me
was crisp and clear just like today
it’s better this way was the line they sold me
but we all knew it another way

well i guess we paid for the words unspoken
when silence stole your heart of song
i never knew that your heart was broken
i just looked up and you were gone

and you know i’ve been fine
and you know i’ve been strong
and you know that i have prayed to you
when the nights they seem so long
so when they judge and they scorn
well i stay true to you
there’s nothing left here that you’ve got to prove

i can see you - when my world all turns to gray
and i never thought you’d be the one to heal me
when this emptiness won’t go away
i can feel you - when there’s no where left to fall
i look and you are there 
you come and free me
so believe me when i’m telling you
i’m finally seeing, i’m just finally seeing who you are

i never looked back to judge your reasons
or all the pain i never knew
your sorrow moved with the change of seasons
autumn came and your storm blew through

we never found time for last confessions, never knew 
how heavy was that cross you bore
how hard you tried to conceal your feelings behind
that smile on the mask you wore

pre-chorus
chorus

don’t you know that i’ve stood at the edge of time
and i’ve screamed your name out loud
i’m still waitin’ for you, still waitin’ for you
don’t you know that i’ve stood here a thousand times
and i’ve dreamed your face out loud
i’m still waitin’ for you, still waitin’ and waitin’.......

if i came to you in my darkest hour
would i have the strength to ask you why
you couldn’t see through that wall of heartache
i wasn’t reason enough to try?

i can see you - when my world all turns to gray
and i never thought you’d be the one to heal me
when this emptiness won’t go away
you are the strength inside that just won’t leave me 
when i’ve no where left to fall
i look and you are there 
you come and free me 
so believe me when i’m telling you
i’m finally seeing
i’m just finally seeing
i’m finally seeing who you are

protecting your crown

k. kelly

go slow my heart
be true and be wise
take one at a time
give yourself another try

cause you’re stirring up the landslide and you’re
jumpin’ in the deep end
when you’ve hardly learned to swim
and you know if you let them they’re somehow gonna
find their way in
so you’re setting up your roadblocks 
wearing armor on your heart
you keep yourself so cold and thin
do you think there’ll come a day when you finally
let yourself win?

you’re lookin down the line
seems harder every day
growing stronger with time
but scared you won’t find your way

so you’re hiding in the crawl space 
where you’re holding all your fears
paralyzed and scared to try
covered in your cobwebs and catwalks and worries and lies
so you’re living out your nightmares
and sleeping out the storm
you keep your soul so cold and thin
do you think there’ll come a day when you finally
let yourself win?

you’re running in circles protecting your crown
you live your whole life wondering who you’ll let down
you never give up and you never give in 
you’ll never let go till you let your heart win
to tired to rest or to ask yourself why
to stubborn to quit and too angry to cry
you’ve know all along it’s a hard price to pay
if you’d only believe that your heart knows the way

go slow my heart
i know that you’re tired
let yourself off the line
take your soul off the fire

cause you’re running down the speedway
and climbing up the walls
but you’re going no where fast
and the way you spin yourself around there’s no way
you’re ever gonna last
so you’re trippin’ on the barbed wire
tangled in your fears 
you keep your heart so cold and thin
do you think there’ll come a day when you finally
let yourself win?

be strong my heart
patient and kind
look deep within
the answers you’ll find
you know the way
so tried and true
all that you need 
it’s inside of you

closer to you

k. kelly

i’ve sailed around this world a million times
under skies that weren’t so blue
i’ve seen the seasons change
winters blow into cold dark rains
these things i know to be true

now i’ve wandered out where stars don’t even shine
trying to find that kind of peace
somewhere where the angels fly
darkness turns into sweet blue skies
that’s my place where i find you

i don’t know the reasons 
we choose the paths we choose
and i don’t know where mine will run
but this i know without a shadow of a doubt
my time will come

now i’ve seen all kinds of craziness in this world
and i’ve had my share of tears
seen my friends as they come and go
seen my dreams unfurl in this dark little world
but i’m not giving up on you
i’m not giving up on you

i don’t know the reasons 
we choose the paths we choose
and i don’t know where mine will run
but this i know without a shadow of a doubt
my time will come
my time will come

now i don’t know if you believe in love
but i’ve got to believe that it’s true
cause i don’t want to leave this world without knowing
don’t want to leave this world without you

now i’ve sailed around this world a million times
but i still don’t know my way
but with every step I take 
every dream that’s crushed 
every smile I fake
surely brings me closer to you
brings me closer to you
