Anything (song #137)

Anything

Did I mislead you by telling you the truth?

Did you lead me on by telling me it’s what you wanted me to do?

Did you rely on all the changes we would make?

Did I lie to get you to forget all my mistakes?

Anything to stay away

Anything not to have to be okay

Anything

Anything

Did I remind you of what you felt you missed?

Did you mind not getting what you’d wished?

Did you replace your hope for a fear?

Did I place your heart far away from here?

Anything to stay away

Anything not to have to be okay

Anything

Anything

Can’t change what’s always been the same

Can’t stop what does not want to change

Anything to stay away

Anything not to have to be okay

Anything

Anything

And I Don’t Want To Lose You Now (song #136)

And I Don’t Want To Lose You Now

There she stands alone in the night

Trying to put her finger on exactly what's not right

What do I say?

What should I do?

Don’t you tell me (that) this is not true

And I don’t want to lose you now

And I don’t want to lose you now

Where she holds my heart in her hands

From such a long way off I can’t understand

There is much more

There is no way

To keep reaching - it’s easier to turn away

And I don’t want to lose you now

And I don’t want to lose you now

Slipping through my fingers

Is every promise that we made

But words can’t be all that’s left

When there’s nothing left to say

And I don’t want to lose you now

And I don’t want to lose you now

So she looks past me and my ways

Waiting for reminders of others days

What’s not left

When time’s too short

The things that makes me want more

And I don’t want to lose you now

And I don’t want to lose you now
