"When You Love Someone"

No one could have seen it coming
That you'd go running off, my dear
And no one could quite understand
Why I still act like you haven't disappeared

But when you love someone
It doesn't go away
The feelings leave, but the heart still stays
When you love someone
They never go away
No they never go away

There's still a mountain here to climb
I know in time I'll see the end
The meadow on the other side
But until then I pretend

Cause it's a bitter pill that's sticking still
A grave you thought you'd never fill
Each word comes like a final will
These days

But when you love someone
It doesn't go away
The feelings leave, but the heart still stays
When you love someone
They never go away
No they never go away

I'm holding to the thought that you're still right here with me
That a part of you is lingering, that you never really leave
The day's too hard to handle, so I'll retreat into my dreams
Where you are
Where you're still a reality

Cause when you love someone
You only see their face
As a golden light
All the imperfections fade
When you love someone
When you love someone
Love is all that remains

"Never Mine To Lose"

I know I shouldn't care the way I do
It isn't fair to me or fair to you
And I wouldn't call it love
Not when it distances so much
But when you go, I'll know, all that I've held onto

And someday near in the future
When I'm not sutured, not cut by nail and tooth
I'd like to think you'd be my girl
That I could hold you like a pearl
Oh, but you were never mine to choose

So they say if you let it go
That it might return to you
But you were never mine to lose
You were never mine to lose

And baby, you know I'm missing you so dearly
When clearly, the same just isn't true
One war, one battleline
That's drawn out only in my mind
So I'll raise a flag and surrender to the truth

There's a constant fight
There's a wrong and right
There's a beautiful light
That I just can't refuse

They say if you let it go
That it might return to you
But don't get tangled in false hope
Or hold on to half truths
Cause she'll be all right
She'll be just fine
Without you
Yeah, she was never yours to lose
Never yours to lose

"I Cry Out"

When the emotion's gone
And I'm all that's left
Just a heavy,
Hesitating breath
I just want to do what's right
Oh God I want to stand upright

I cry out
For more, for more than a feeling
I cry out
For the truth, yeah I just want the real thing
I cry out
For you, for your healing

The pain is so heavy
It's weighing on my chest
The whole world
In all its loneliness
We're all searching for that open ear
To understand and hear

And I know that you hear my every call
But I make it so hard for you to do your job
When I don't give you
The same courtesy

I cry out
For more, for more than a feeling
I cry out
Behind this broken heart you're beating
I cry out
And you're the only one who's listening
The only one who really hears me

In every action, every flaw
See the heart behind it all
I'm trying so hard to be whole
That I trade, I trade my soul
And you remind me every time
That it's not by my design
That every lie is truth disguised
That every shadow comes from light, light

I cry out
Without words, my actions shout
I cry out
In every misstep, every doubt
For a bit of that divinity
To define, and filter out
Cause behind these eyes I pray
That I can be that every day
So I cry out

"You Can't Make Someone Love You"

Think you're deserving
That you're worth something more
But still you stand hurting
Though you're working so hard
With nothing to show
And it's coming up slow
The pain in your chest, you're depressed
Without rest and your heart
Is just barely aglow

It's got nothing to do with them
It's got nothing to do with you
No matter what you do
You can't make someone love you

Starting to wonder
Are you under a curse
Cause strangers and family,
Their roles are reversed
And you're all alone
Lost looking for home
Is this all that's left, just a breath
Makes no sense that you're here
Worn down to skin and bone

It's got nothing to do with them
It's got nothing to do with you
No matter what you do
You can't make someone love you
And maybe you're deserving
Yeah the rest of it is true
But no matter what you do
You can't make someone love you

And oh, this weight
I've got nothing to show
And my heart is just barely aglow
Just give me a spark of hope

No matter what you do
You can't make someone love you
You could raise a flag in honor
Or be painted black and blue
But you can't,
No you can't make someone love you

"Let It Die"

Without pain, I wouldn't know
Without it, couldn't let you go
Without pain, oh
To be without pain

And these scars, they stay
Scars remind me every day
Without scars, ay
I wouldn't feel this way

I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart
I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart

To be whole, too much to ask
Whole, even with the past
To wear each moment without mask
To be whole

But you still cripple me
A flaw the builders didn't see
It forms and breaks in the air I breathe
Still haunting

I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart
I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to tear it apart

Oh, in the silence that follows
Oh, in the cold desperate nights
You don't have to give me false hope
You don't have to keep that fire alive
Let it die, let it die

I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart
I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to break my heart
No, you didn't have to tear it apart
Let it die, let it die

"Trial & Error"

Love
Does it look the same to you
Cause I've done everything I can
To get through
True love
With a grasp of the whole truth
Love that echoes and returns
That heals the world as the cities burn

Why, does it have to be so hard
Been dealt losing hands through this whole deck of cards
And why, does it tear apart my soul
To leave me broken every time, the thing that's meant to make me whole

Love
Am I doing it wrong
Shed self consciousness and worries
And it's a song
So where's the divide
Between yours and mine
What will it take
For us all to sing in time

Why, does it have to be so hard
Been dealt losing hands through this whole deck of cards
And why, does it tear apart my soul
To leave me broken every time, the thing that's meant to make me whole

Be yourself
I hear you say
Though you'll face trials
In the errors of your ways
Perfect love
In the imperfection you display
You can either let it stumble out
Or let it be a shout

"Prodigal Son"

I'm all out of options
So much so that I've become undone
You can spend your whole life running away
Just to find the problem still remains

What are you looking for
What are you looking for
It's been here all along
What are you looking for
Do you see what's lost
In the circle that you've spun

I'm breaking to pieces
I've done so much to avoid being defeated
But when you're as grounded as the dirt that you're standing on
Tossed in the wind before too long

What are you looking for
What are you looking for
It's been here all along
What are you looking for
Do you see what's lost
In the circle that you've spun

Cause you can run away
You can run away
And still come back, not quite the same
You can run away
You can run away
And still come back

What are you looking for
What are you looking for
I've been here all along
What are you waiting for
I've watched what you've lost
My prodigal son
My prodigal son
