Breaking Through From Down Under

Hey, what would you say
If i can't play the hero tonight
Cos lately i've been feelin' like
I can't get anything right

I've been fading into the woodwork again
And i'm feelin' like i just wanna hide
But guess what
I'm gonna try something just a little bit different this time

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine
I'm gonna shine so bright
Gonna make every head wanna turn
You're finally gonna see me
Give myself permission to shine
Gonna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world

I've been crazy
I've been holdin' myself back for so long
But i've got so much i can give
Don't wanna be afraid to be wrong

You know i'm not too good at too many things
But i've been gettin' real good at gettin' down on myself
But guess what
I'm gonna try to break free from this prison i"ve built

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine
I'm gonna shine so bright
Gonna make every head wanna turn
You're finally gonna see me
Give myself permission to shine
Gonna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world

Oh, that's right
I'm gonna try something just a little bit different this time

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine
I'm gonna shine so bright
Gonna make every head wanna turn
You're finally gonna see me
Give myself permission to shine
Gonna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world

(give myself permission to shine)
I wanna light up the night
Shine a little of my light on the world

For all of the days when the world seems crazy
All of the nights when you cry alone
For all of the times when your heart's in trouble
Facing the storm and you're on your own

Someway, somehow
Even though i feel so helpless now
I know your love will see me through somehow
Someway, somehow
As you turn to me and say
Somehow love will show us the way

All of the times when it's such as struggle
All of the heartache you've ever know
And when the tears seem to come so easy
There's just no joy that you can call your own

Chorus

When i need a beacon to guide the way
When i fell too weary to face the day
Trying to make it through the darkest hour
You can turn to love and feel it's power....

I know love will see us through
Someway, somehow

I guess i had no reason, talking to you that way
It's just so unexpected, seeing you here today
Why now? has it been long enough, for all the hurt to fade?
Oh, how i'm waiting for the day

I guess i had no business, asking who you're hanging 'round
You like to keep your secrets, it's a lesson i've learnt now
But don't act like i feel nothing for you, and everything's ok
Oh, how i'm waiting for the day

Seems that you've been kind enough, to spare my innocence
And let me keep my illusions safe from harm
To think when friends revealed the truth, i'd leap to your defence
Strange the way the cruellest cuts have come

It's late, i guess i'll be going, but don't expect me to wish you well
There's too much gone between us, whatever's left now i can't tell
But i know there'll be a time when i won't crumble like today
No i, won't felling like screaming out should i see you glance at me
Yes i might find some bright new future that you can't steal away
Oh, how i'm waiting for the day
Oh, how i'm waiting for the day....

Turn out the lights, see what i've been seein'
This is the love i have not been feelin'
A chill in the bone as it begins to change
Don't talk to me cos things are not the same
Yeah

You know i am i am
And i will be closer to you
Than you to anyone
You know i cannot see
The earth, the sun
For all the damage we have done

Oooh - so tired of playin' in the water
Oooh - don't wanna be your saint, your martyr
So sorry babe - so sorry baby it's my mistake
The years have blown away

Blown away

Hold down the dog i'm here to raise this ceiling
This is the love i cannot believe in, yeah
A quarter to four and it begins to tell
Don't talk to me cos nothing's gonna sell
Yeah

You know i am i am
And i will be closer to you
Than you to anyone
You're so full of conceit
You beg to be undone
You torment just for fun

Oooh - so tired of playin' in the water
Oooh - don't wanna be your saint, your daughter
So sorry babe - so sorry baby it's my mistake
The years have blown away
Blown away

You know i am i am
And i will be closer to you
Than you to anyone
You know i cannot see
The earth, the sun
For all the damage we have done

Oooh - so tired of playin' in the water
Oooh - don't wanna be your saint, your martyr
So sorry babe - so sorry baby it's my mistake
The years have blown away

Im so tired - so tired of playin' in the water
I can't be - don't wanna be your saint, your martyr
So sorry babe - so sorry baby it's my mistake
The years have blown away

So tired of playin' in the water
Don't wanna be your saint, your daughter
So sorry babe - so sorry baby it's my mistake
The years have blown away

Ooh
I gotta let you go
Ooh
I gotta let you go

It's a sad day
But some good will come of it i guess
And maybe it'llbe for the best
As you walk away i know
I gotta let you go

It's not easy
Watching something you cherish fade
But it's the only choice that i can make
You wanna be somewhere else i know
I gotta let you go

Chorus

It's ok
There's really nothing you can say
And i don't hate you that it's gone this way
Somethings just ain't meant to be
And i gotta let you go

Chorus

I still can't digure why
Joy can erase in the blink of an eye
You no longer need me
Just when i let you belong in my life

We had something
But whatever it was has gone
And i gotta let you go
So don't stay here
If you wanna move on
I gotta let you go

Chorus

There's no reason
We should still be holding on
And i gotta let you go
So don't stay here
If our chances have gone
I gotta let you go

Chorus

What does it mean
What does it mean
When you use my toothbrush
What does it mean
What does it mean
When i pay for lunch with you
All day all night all week and still
It don't seem like too much
I wear your sweaters
And you wear my shoes

What does it mean
What does it mean
When you do my laundry
How come it's ok that
You use your key to my front door
You steal the blankets while we sleep
I steal your last beer
But i guess that we ain't keeping score

This must be love
Cos what else could make us
Act the way we do
Just think it through
This must be love
I don't think anything else could be to blame
This must be love
O-o-oh
Like it or not

Cos what else could it mean
What could it mean
You drinks my dregs of coffee
How come it's ok when i buy you stuff with your credit card
All day all week all month and still
It don't seem like too much
To spend a year with you won't be to hard

Chorus

What does it mean
What does it mean
Your wallet holds my photo
How come each place i go seems
So much better if your there
We light up candles, stay up late
Always hate to go
I guess there's no chance we don't really care
