I've been lost in the middle
Always trying to find the wishing well
Running around in circles
Never crossing the line
Don't want to touch you
Don't want to see
You've got a knife in your heart
Don't say that you did it for me
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
You know right where you want it
But you never gave it in return
Running me in circles
Always crossing the line
Don't want to touch you
Leave you confused
You took the easy way out
When you looked through the eyes of a fool
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is strong
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
Never, never
Never, never
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
I'm never gonna set you free
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
Never unchain the night

The Hunter
Clouds roll by as I look to the sky
And then the feeling comes, it comes on again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire of sin
Oh, will I ever learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But then the shadows fall and I'm gone again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
Care for you, you know that I always will
I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill
But then it calls to me when the moon rises full in the sky
You know it's not denied
Will I ever find love and peace of mind
On these streets again, will it ever end
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire within
I guess I'll never learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But when the shadows fall, you know I won't be home
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again
And then the feeling comes, it comes on again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire of sin
Oh, will I ever learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But then the shadows fall and I'm gone again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
Care for you, you know that I always will
I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill
But then it calls to me when the moon rises full in the sky
You know it's not denied
Will I ever find love and peace of mind
On these streets again, will it ever end
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire within
I guess I'll never learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But when the shadows fall, you know I won't be home
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again

In My Dreams
Toss and turn all night in the sheets
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams

Slippin Away
Like a whisper, you came in the night
Gone forever, seems you were right
Long ago, thought it was real
Should've believed love's not forever
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
Gentle one, so soft and warm
I tried to touch you, I meant you no harm
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold one
Save me
Save me
Save me
Like a whisper, you came in the night
Gone forever, seems you were right
Long ago, I thought it was real
I should've believed that love's not forever
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
I just can't hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
I'm slippin' away
Now that you're gone
Gone forever, seems you were right
Long ago, thought it was real
Should've believed love's not forever
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
Gentle one, so soft and warm
I tried to touch you, I meant you no harm
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold one
Save me
Save me
Save me
Like a whisper, you came in the night
Gone forever, seems you were right
Long ago, I thought it was real
I should've believed that love's not forever
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
I just can't hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
I'm slippin' away
Now that you're gone

Lightnin Strikes Again
The lights go down
You can feel it all around you
Like a razor's edge that cuts through the air
You can hear the sound
It's coming down like thunder
You don't have to tell me why
You don't have to care
When the lightnin' strike again
And the lights go down
And you might be near the end
When the lightnin' strikes again
You draw the line
And you leave it all behind you
You lost your mind and then you lose control
By the time
That you feel the lightnin' strike you
You know you've been holding back
You've got to let it go
You can feel it all around you
Like a razor's edge that cuts through the air
You can hear the sound
It's coming down like thunder
You don't have to tell me why
You don't have to care
When the lightnin' strike again
And the lights go down
And you might be near the end
When the lightnin' strikes again
You draw the line
And you leave it all behind you
You lost your mind and then you lose control
By the time
That you feel the lightnin' strike you
You know you've been holding back
You've got to let it go

Its Not Love
Told you I had to leave, I had my reasons
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that I'm feelin'
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore
Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you
It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When I told you
Is he putting you down
Down, down, down
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that I'm feelin'
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore
Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you
It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When I told you
Is he putting you down
Down, down, down

Jaded Heart
I didn't know you, but I could see it in your eyes
Shattered dreams and hopes, you'd been hurt too many times
Well I've heard your past from a friend I'd seen today
Told me of your heart, that you had been away
How I wish I could take you away
I would show you that my love's not the same
But I see I've found you too late
Jaded heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me
I realize you've heard it all before
Lies and promises, you don't listen anymore
How I hope that I will find a way
To break down all these walls that you have made
But my eyes see that it's too late
Jaded heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded heart
Jaded heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me
How I wish that I could take you away
I would show you that my love's not the same
Can it be that I found you too late
Jaded Heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded Heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me
Shattered dreams and hopes, you'd been hurt too many times
Well I've heard your past from a friend I'd seen today
Told me of your heart, that you had been away
How I wish I could take you away
I would show you that my love's not the same
But I see I've found you too late
Jaded heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me
I realize you've heard it all before
Lies and promises, you don't listen anymore
How I hope that I will find a way
To break down all these walls that you have made
But my eyes see that it's too late
Jaded heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded heart
Jaded heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me
How I wish that I could take you away
I would show you that my love's not the same
Can it be that I found you too late
Jaded Heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded Heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me

Dont Lie To Me
You didn't see me, but I overheard
A short conversation was just a few words
A lie and a whisper, a knife in my back
The things you were saying lead me to believe
You want no part of me
Leave me go, turn and walk away, turn your back on me
If you stay, there's just one thing that I've got to say
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Voices that whisper, dark deep despair
Burns me like fire, these things that I hear
Leave me go, turn and walk away, turn your back on me
If you stay, there's just one thing that I've got to say
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Tell me it's over, don't tell me you care
Don't wanna hear it no more
Don't say you love me, if the feeling's not there
Just turn and leave me, I want no part of you
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Just don't lie to me
Or I'll be on my way
Just don't lie to me
I won't be back again
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Just don't lie to me
A short conversation was just a few words
A lie and a whisper, a knife in my back
The things you were saying lead me to believe
You want no part of me
Leave me go, turn and walk away, turn your back on me
If you stay, there's just one thing that I've got to say
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Voices that whisper, dark deep despair
Burns me like fire, these things that I hear
Leave me go, turn and walk away, turn your back on me
If you stay, there's just one thing that I've got to say
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Tell me it's over, don't tell me you care
Don't wanna hear it no more
Don't say you love me, if the feeling's not there
Just turn and leave me, I want no part of you
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Just don't lie to me
Or I'll be on my way
Just don't lie to me
I won't be back again
Just don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
Just don't lie to me
Like the way you used to do
Just don't lie to me

Will The Sun Rise
In the name of liberty, we set off to the sea
In the name of glory, fighting to be free
But one mistake can set it all to rest
No one sees and no one wins the game of chance
I need to know
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise another day
A simple answer, that all of us should see
Let things be what they may be
Open your eyes, do you think that you're the best
Try to see the light before the final test
I need to know
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun ride, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise another day
Someone is watching, waiting to see
If there's a chance before the sun fades for eternity
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise another day
Will the sun rise, I need to know
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise, I need to know
Will the sun rise, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise
Will the sun rise
When it's over
In the name of glory, fighting to be free
But one mistake can set it all to rest
No one sees and no one wins the game of chance
I need to know
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise another day
A simple answer, that all of us should see
Let things be what they may be
Open your eyes, do you think that you're the best
Try to see the light before the final test
I need to know
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun ride, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise another day
Someone is watching, waiting to see
If there's a chance before the sun fades for eternity
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise another day
Will the sun rise, I need to know
Will the sun rise when it's over
Will the sun rise, I need to know
Will the sun rise, will there be a sky
Will the sun rise
Will the sun rise
When it's over

Til The Livin End
It's too late to tell me you're sorry
It's too late to walk out the door
Last time, last time you left broken hearted
Only to come back for more
I'm not with you for love
You'll be back on your knees again
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
You know I can't wait
Can't wait, til the livin' end
It was you that wanted affection
It was you and all of your lies
This time, this time I'm changing direction
Changing the look in your eyes
I'm not with you for love
You'll be back on your knees again
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
You know I can't wait
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Got no hope for the future
When you live in the past
Not gonna wait for tomorrow
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
You know I can't wait
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Can't wait, til the livin' end
It's too late to walk out the door
Last time, last time you left broken hearted
Only to come back for more
I'm not with you for love
You'll be back on your knees again
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
You know I can't wait
Can't wait, til the livin' end
It was you that wanted affection
It was you and all of your lies
This time, this time I'm changing direction
Changing the look in your eyes
I'm not with you for love
You'll be back on your knees again
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
