About the album
Live at Gelredome is a 2008 live album recorded during Anouk's first stadium concerts at the GelreDome in Arnhem.
The concerts took place on 28 and 29 March 2008 and marked a major step in scale for Anouk, with around 30,000 tickets sold for each show.
The recording documents Anouk in a large arena setting, performing songs from different stages of her career with her live band.
Postman, the solo project of Remon Stotijn, who was Anouk's husband at the time, appeared as the support act for both shows.
The concerts featured a large-scale light show designed by German light artist Gert Hof, using 56 searchlights and a production team of around 30 people.
Rather than presenting new studio material, Live at Gelredome functions as a concert document built around the scale, energy and visual presentation of those performances.

A. Teeuwe, B. van Veen
I'm walking in the park
And I'm talking to the dark
But there ain't nobody listening
My heart has turned to stone
When I found myself alone
Now all I do is whisper to the dark
There's only so much you can take
You've gotta give yourself a break
But I don't think you're listening
If you're gonna take it all so hard
You gonna tear yourself apart
I can understand you miss him in the dark
Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now
If love is no longer being served
You've got to leave the table
Mister Aznavour told me, merci beaucoup
Though I miss him, got to let go
Though I miss him, got to let go
Let it go
It's about that time to leave it all behind you
You don't want to but life is passing by you
The hard knocks, got you twisted like dreadlocks
Catalogue your dark and set some new marks
I understand your body's filled with hesitation
Trust me it's gonna be a whole new situation
Turn this page I guess you know what to do
Rise up like phoenix I'm bringing out the beauty in you
Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now
And I'm talking to the dark
But there ain't nobody listening
My heart has turned to stone
When I found myself alone
Now all I do is whisper to the dark
There's only so much you can take
You've gotta give yourself a break
But I don't think you're listening
If you're gonna take it all so hard
You gonna tear yourself apart
I can understand you miss him in the dark
Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now

Right behind that perfect face
There's someone no one keeps
Secrets hidden
Think I don't want to know
Reasons why you're crushing
over me
I don't look back
Darling so it goes
But I regret
We couldn't
Make it rain
And all our dreams were left to dry
Can't make it rain
There's not one cloud left in the sky so
You said you tried
We bled we cried
We couldn't make it rain
We had everything to live for
Even if we didn't understand
The game of give and take
Was more than just the sum
of what we make
The most of time
So we'll move on
And leave it all behind
'Cause we couldn't
Make it rain
And all our dreams were left to dry
Can't make it rain
There's not one cloud left in the sky so
You said you tried
We bled we cried
We couldn't make it rain
Now I can't help thinking about
Places we would go
Make it rain
And all our dreams were left to dry
Can't make it rain
There's not one cloud left in the sky so
You said you tried
We bled we cried
We couldn't make it rain
There's someone no one keeps
Secrets hidden
Think I don't want to know
Reasons why you're crushing
over me
I don't look back
Darling so it goes
But I regret
We couldn't
Make it rain
And all our dreams were left to dry
Can't make it rain
There's not one cloud left in the sky so
You said you tried
We bled we cried
We couldn't make it rain
We had everything to live for
Even if we didn't understand
The game of give and take
Was more than just the sum

So we'll move on
And leave it all behind
'Cause we couldn't

And all our dreams were left to dry
Can't make it rain
There's not one cloud left in the sky so
You said you tried
We bled we cried
We couldn't make it rain
Now I can't help thinking about
Places we would go
Make it rain
And all our dreams were left to dry

The more you think about sex boys
With someone else the better it gets boys
Do you have a purpose in your life
Besides cheating on the wife
For fuck sake show some sense
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world
These days adoption is a hot thing
You can get a child for nearly nothing
You take them home to a nanny and
Buy off your guilt with toys and candy
But all that money that you work for girls
There's only one thing they can't fix
And I won't let you be misled
And that's the hole in your head
Can't do nothing 'bout that
Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world
Crazy way to get your kicks
Stop the silicone in your lips
If you fight me I will turn your back
They suck the fat right off your back
Make up your mind about your girls
They can puff 'm up so no bra will fit girls
There's only one thing they can't fix
And I won't let you be misled
And that's the hole in your head
Can't do nothing 'bout that
Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world
Yeah yeah yeah...
You tell her that she's beautiful
And put her on a pedestal
But as you Google triple x
Imagination kicks in
With someone else the better it gets boys
Do you have a purpose in your life
Besides cheating on the wife
For fuck sake show some sense
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world
These days adoption is a hot thing
You can get a child for nearly nothing
You take them home to a nanny and
Buy off your guilt with toys and candy
But all that money that you work for girls
There's only one thing they can't fix
And I won't let you be misled
And that's the hole in your head
Can't do nothing 'bout that
Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world

Hey Michel how's life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can't help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember
We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me
against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it
wasn't meant to be
Now it's you and her I see
You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping that she'll treat you right
Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me
against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it
wasn't meant to be
Now it is you and her I see
It was just a silly dream
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can't help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember
We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me
against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it
wasn't meant to be
Now it's you and her I see
You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping that she'll treat you right
Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me
against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it
wasn't meant to be
Now it is you and her I see
It was just a silly dream

Whatever you say babe
Don't you know
I'm not afraid because I know just where to go
I'm lovin' you baby
I know that love will find a place for you and I
All the time
Baby you just drive me crazy
Forget the world
For a while
Gotta have you
In my arms
Near or far
That is where I'll stay
Whatever you say babe
Don't you know
I'm not afraid because I know just where to go
I'm lovin' you baby
I know that love will find a place for you and I
All the time
Is that alright
I'm lovin' you baby
I know that love will find a place for you and I
Baby baby baby baby...
Well
I'm driving in my car the music plays
The way you make me feel it's like I'm walking on air
I just can't believe again that lovers do stay
And every now and then we fight
without walking away
I know I should have called you first but I
I couldn't stop myself from driving to you just to see
You smiling makes me wanna be with you
But I just can't help myself
And that's the reason why
If we're together
Why do you feel the need to
Why you're taking chances boy
Don't you know
I'm not afraid because I know just where to go
I'm lovin' you baby
I know that love will find a place for you and I
All the time
Baby you just drive me crazy
Forget the world
For a while
Gotta have you
In my arms
Near or far
That is where I'll stay
Whatever you say babe
Don't you know
I'm not afraid because I know just where to go
I'm lovin' you baby
I know that love will find a place for you and I
All the time
Is that alright
I'm lovin' you baby
I know that love will find a place for you and I
Baby baby baby baby...
Well
I'm driving in my car the music plays
The way you make me feel it's like I'm walking on air
I just can't believe again that lovers do stay

I couldn't stop myself from driving to you just to see
You smiling makes me wanna be with you

And that's the reason why
If we're together
Why do you feel the need to
Why you're taking chances boy

The words are slowly sinking in
Despair comes unexpected
Everything falls out of place
Now my imagination
It moves in all directions
And I can only see your face
Now please don't leave me
The water's so much colder
Ever since you went away
Hours lasting longer
Having a different point of view
That doesn't make it right for you
To decide that you don't have to stay
No please don't leave me
I'm caught in the middle
It pulls me down to places no one goes
So you need to find out
If there's a chance for us
What a difference it makes
Waking up here without you
Baby we can make this right
We can make this
This heart cannot erase you
After years replacing you
Don't you think that's kind of sad
Now please don't leave me
I'm caught in the middle
It pulls me down to places no one goes
So you need to find out
If there's a chance for us
What a difference it makes
Waking up here without you
Baby we can make this right
We can make this right
Despair comes unexpected
Everything falls out of place
Now my imagination
It moves in all directions
And I can only see your face
Now please don't leave me
The water's so much colder
Ever since you went away
Hours lasting longer

To decide that you don't have to stay
No please don't leave me

Waking up here without you
Baby we can make this right
We can make this right

Girl girl girl when I hear him talk
Ooh my mind gets blocked girl
Speak up 'cause my jaw is locked
Which is good, good for me girl
It hides like a warning sign
But I'm too blind to see
Speak up, yes I'm coming down
with an ice-cold fever
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Girl girl girl get it while it's hot they say
You see I'm burning up here
I want to but I just can't stop
And it hurts, it hurts like hell girl
You turn me inside out and upside down
you got me head over heels
I'm stuck yes I'm coming down
with an ice-cold fever
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No, I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Ooh my mind gets blocked girl
Speak up 'cause my jaw is locked
Which is good, good for me girl
It hides like a warning sign
But I'm too blind to see
Speak up, yes I'm coming down
with an ice-cold fever
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Girl girl girl get it while it's hot they say
You see I'm burning up here
I want to but I just can't stop
And it hurts, it hurts like hell girl
You turn me inside out and upside down
you got me head over heels
I'm stuck yes I'm coming down
with an ice-cold fever
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No, I don't know where I belong
Could I belong

Sure got my piece of heaven
An angel in disguise
Gone wild
But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her
It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have
I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there
So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said
He said:
There is nothing left to say
I had my fill, I went away
Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling
Well how could an angel break my heart
He said: We could still be friends
Are you kidding me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have, I don't have
But twice every year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then
I am better than, I am
An angel in disguise
Gone wild
But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her
It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have
I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there
So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said

What has she got that I don't have, I don't have

Some things are better left unsaid
You'll find a nice place to hide them
But days like this
There is just too much going on
So I'm picking up the pieces of my past
But I can't find no peace at all
So in other words
I am so ready to be found
So I'll try and I might
Stand up and fight
To leave this place someday
All I need is that moment
To make me believe that you're alive
And then I'll be alright
Paradise grown cold
One hand on my door
Way too high hopes
I can't tell right from wrong
Show me how it's done
Lord, I need to be saved
And then I'll be alright
On days like these
There is just too much going on
So I try and I might
Stand up and fight
To leave this place someday
All I need is that moment
To make me believe that you're alive
And then I'll be alright
You'll find a nice place to hide them
But days like this
There is just too much going on

I'm watching your shadow cut by the moon
Peaceful I wait for the dawn
These moments in silence are all that I need
The softness of hearing you breathe
And I know it doesn't get better than this
Funny it starts with just one little kiss
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
Your ups and your downs, powers and fears
Your presence fulfills my desire
You're all that I've wished for
You're more than I need, you're right where I wanna be
I don't ask questions or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
Peaceful I wait for the dawn
These moments in silence are all that I need
The softness of hearing you breathe
And I know it doesn't get better than this
Funny it starts with just one little kiss
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
Your ups and your downs, powers and fears
Your presence fulfills my desire
You're all that I've wished for
You're more than I need, you're right where I wanna be
I don't ask questions or try to explain
Telling myself it just happens this way
Baby all I know you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love
All my love is yours, you're no longer alone
We've started a home of our own love

All the memories that we've made
I threw them all away
This stop, stays the same
There's no need to talk it over
Don't let me get you down
Let's just move on
I am setting you free
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
Strange enough I always knew
I'm taking off today
I am setting you free
The darkness you left in my soul
Do we know how much we've lost
Will the moon be shining as bright as before
And as I'm singing this song
The tears well up in my eyes I will
always wonder
Why I will never have the life I wanted
Now I'm letting it go
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
There's not much more to say
It's too late now
I won't hurt no more
So why wait 'till morning comes
You've made it clear that it has been
'Only pain lovin' me
Things that we won't do for love
I am setting you free
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
Strange enough I always knew
I'm taking off today
I am letting you go
I threw them all away
This stop, stays the same
There's no need to talk it over
Don't let me get you down
Let's just move on
I am setting you free
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
Strange enough I always knew

The darkness you left in my soul
Do we know how much we've lost
Will the moon be shining as bright as before
And as I'm singing this song
The tears well up in my eyes I will
always wonder
Why I will never have the life I wanted
Now I'm letting it go
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
There's not much more to say
It's too late now
I won't hurt no more
So why wait 'till morning comes

graduated fool, that is what I am
for every time I failed you
you're so beautiful, I just turned and walked away
I jingle with words, tangle my tongue
stammering stutters
so I wrote you this song, to finally tell you
what you've known all along, I love you
believe in me, believe me
it was true devotion, now these mixed emotions
oh, I did it again
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
we'll be laughing again
believe in me
graduated fool, I'm better than I am
for that is what you made me
please, hold back your tears
I didn't deserve you anyway
believe in me, I still care for you, believe me
just believe in me
when I kiss your face again, all these mixed emotions
of pleasure and pain
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
we'll be laughing again
believe in me, you're so beautiful, believe me
just believe in me
for every time I failed you
you're so beautiful, I just turned and walked away
I jingle with words, tangle my tongue
stammering stutters
so I wrote you this song, to finally tell you
what you've known all along, I love you

I'm just thinkin' about the child in me,
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small
Is it you, that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out
Did I really ask too much of you baby
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say
It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naïve
When you say that our love to you was just a game
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say
It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
Damned it's so hard, why you're so hard
Why you're so hard, It's tearing me apart
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small
Is it you, that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out
Did I really ask too much of you baby
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say
It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naïve
When you say that our love to you was just a game
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is
Do you mean to say
It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
Damned it's so hard, why you're so hard
Why you're so hard, It's tearing me apart

What about those songs you sang my love
Were they meant for her
And all those words you never said before
What about those kisses in my sleep
Were they meant for her
Tomorrow will be fine
Yeah, just a little while
Oh no, this ain't no way to live
'Cause I will be
Watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'Cause if I leave you by yourself then you can hide away
I'll be watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'Cause if I leave you by yourself
What about that bracelet in your car
Was it meant for her
I am more than you deserve
Tomorrow will be fine
Oh no, this ain't no way to live
'Cause I will be
Watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'Cause if I leave you by yourself then you can hide away
I'll be watching every step, scared I won't find you again
'Cause if I leave you by yourself, yeah
Why couldn't you just lie, suicide
Why couldn't you just lie
Don't you waste my time, suicide
I am more than you deserve
Were they meant for her
And all those words you never said before
What about those kisses in my sleep
Were they meant for her
Tomorrow will be fine
Yeah, just a little while
Oh no, this ain't no way to live
'Cause I will be
Watching every step, scared I won't find you again

If roses are meant to be red
And violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you
My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before
Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
Am I the only one
And violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you
My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before
Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
Am I the only one

Who's the one that makes you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough
I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be
Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before
But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be
You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna be
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough
I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be
Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before
But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key
You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be
You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna be

I know the drill
You've got your ball and chain
It holds you down the circle round
This stop stays the same
You've got it all
What makes you hesitate
Don't just wait for things to blow up in your pretty face
Lift the weight
Try not to let it slip away
And you may find yourself again
I feel
People just don't know you like I do
I found out the second round
That some things never change
Open my eyes
And let the days come over me
And maybe I'll go away
I know the drill
You've got your ball and chain
I found out the second round
That some things never change
Open my eyes
And let the days come over me
And maybe I'll go away
I feel
People just don't know you like I do
When there's something wrong
On and on you'll see
Not everybody's here
So there is a price to pay
To be someone you're not
I know the drill
You've got your ball and chain
I found out the second round
That some things never change
Open my eyes
And let the days come over me
And maybe I'll go away
You've got your ball and chain

I might as well be cheating on you I do
I might as well be cheating on you
I always knew that you would be cheating on you I do
I might see it comin'
I didn't see it comin'
Yesterday you let me down
The only friend I thought I found
Sleepless nights heart in two
Baby who is kissing you
If this would have happened to me ten years ago
I'd make sure that you'd be lying six feet underground
But little girls we grow up
knowing love will find a way
So now we have an understanding
let's just rock 'n roll
Might as well
Be cheating on you
I might as well
Do all the things you do
I might as well
Have a little fun
Baby you inspire
It's the way we carry on
Have you ever been in love before
And does it matter
'Cause nothing ever seems to be
the way it should be
Tell me why
Don't you love me like the way you used to do
It might be worthwhile
To take a step back and ask yourself how this is gonna last
when it's all a lie
Now here me out
I swear to god that this
I swear to god I'm not lying
I will not forget
Might as well
Be cheating on you
I might as well
Do all the things you do
I might as well
Have a little fun
Baby you inspire
It's the way we carry on
I might as well be cheating on you I do
I might as well be cheating on you I do

now I believe that what I used to think was a lie is really alive
now I can see there's only one place to reach
only one thing to preach and that's the highest
it's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
there is no reason, there is no logic to feelings
cause when love is the dealer I'm addicted
so fascinated, I can't stop this constant craving
you're contagious
it's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
for someone, somehow
and I cannot hide, even if I'd try
you mean everything to me
any fool can see, what you've done to me
you mean everything to me
and when you're not here, I just cry
and when you're not here, I could die
the best is still to come dear
the best is still to come for us
it's the strangest thing that I can feel so much
for someone, somehow
and I cannot hide, even if I'd try
you mean everything to me
any fool can see, what you've done to me
you mean everything to me
and when you're not here, I just cry
and when you're not here, I could die
now I can see there's only one place to reach
only one thing to preach and that's the highest
it's the strangest thing that I can feel so much

Anything you need
Don't keep me away
You make me so confused
The one I love loves someone else
Baby what's it gonna be
is it gonna be her or me
Tell me what I have to do
'cause I know that I'm good for you
And baby when you're mine
Don't hesitate at all
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Don't keep me away
You make me so confused
The one I love loves someone else
I lay my weapon down
Won't fight no more
Tryin' to get you by my side
Though I have been in love before
But they could never take my clouds away
I don't stop the music it feels good
It keeps my mind of me missing you
Keep the DJ now
There is nothing for me here
Without you by my side
'Cause babe if you were mine
I won't hesitate at all
You just let me know
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Don't keep me away
Don't hesitate at all
The one I love loves someone else
You make me so confused
Anything you need
The one I love loves someone else
Babe if you were mine
Babe if you were mine
Babe if you were mine
If you were mine
We all are lost inside the maze
We can't find our way home
Now baby wouldn't it be great
If we could turn it all around
Don't keep me away
You make me so confused
The one I love loves someone else
Baby what's it gonna be
is it gonna be her or me
Tell me what I have to do
'cause I know that I'm good for you
And baby when you're mine
Don't hesitate at all
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Don't keep me away
You make me so confused

I close my eyes
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word
And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven
My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay
If I could have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word

And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone

Sir can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem
'Cause I have kinda lost my way

You've got it easy
But you've got the nerve to make a face
Although I'm strugglin'
You can't tell because I keep it caged
We are together
But I feel you're pushing me aside
The thought won't even cross your mind
You need to take a good look at yourself
'Cause I'm about to close up shop
If you need a servant go find someone else
It's time to step up
'Cause if I go
I'll be taking more with me than you would care to lose
Or you'll see me walk away
Time is up step it up
Just so you know
Nothing you can do could make me turn around again
Your time is up step it up
Do you'll see me walk away
It's time to step up
Yeah time to step it up
Time to step it up

Step it up
If we're together
Why do you feel the need to
Why you're taking chances boy
But you've got the nerve to make a face
Although I'm strugglin'

I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream
For the times that I killed your dreams
For the times that I made your whole world rumble
For the times that I made you cry
For the times that I told you lies
For the times that I watched and let you stumble
It's to bad, but that's me
What goes around comes around, and you'll see
That I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife
I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home
Left you lyin' in that bed alone
Was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder
Your like a stone hangin' around my neck, see
Cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older
I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
You know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my way
It's to bad, but that's me
What goes around comes around, and you'll see
That I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife
For the times that I killed your dreams
For the times that I made your whole world rumble

Surely I am willing but I won't
Claiming that I'll do it but I don't
Knowing I'll do anything you want
Pretending I am someone that
I'm not
Good God my mind
Won't let me think right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things
up in my head that never happened
In time I've gotta choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you've done
What am I gonna do
Good God my mind
Won't let me think right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things
up in my head that never happened
In time I've gotta choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you've done
What am I gonna do
So now that you have made a mess of me
And showed me stars that I have never seen
I know its wrong why does it feel so right
You haven't got me yet
but you might
You're smiling back at me
I wanna do it
I wanna be with you let me get through it
Am I gonna make it back alive
When you show me all the things that you can do
Claiming that I'll do it but I don't
Knowing I'll do anything you want
Pretending I am someone that
I'm not
Good God my mind
Won't let me think right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things
up in my head that never happened
In time I've gotta choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you've done
What am I gonna do
Good God my mind
Won't let me think right

So now that you have made a mess of me
And showed me stars that I have never seen

You're smiling back at me
I wanna do it
