1. _ Love Forgot
Learn to love and you learn to survive My mistake was thinking love wouldn't catch me It was the story of my life I awakened seeing with new eyes I begged forgiveness, but love wouldn't hear me Taught you to fear me, baby Love forgot we used to be just fine And love forgot about the tender times Love forgot to ask you if you'd want to give me Give me one more try Maybe love forgot this time Love can't love someone who breaks a vow But I was not myself, my heart wasn't in it I still loved you every minute I could fix it if you show me how You didn't hear it from somebody else, I told you Praying you'd let me hold you (I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive (I'mpossible) And love forgot that we depend on it (It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way Our poetry will ever rhyme I think love forgot this time But who would have ever known I'd ever be tempted, but I'm hopin' Love will show me what to do Cuz if it was all so easy Then anybody else coulda shown me I don't understand how you wouldn't know I never even meant it (I can't believe) Did love forget this was the only time (I'mpossible) Did love forget I tried to set things right (It couldn't be) Did love forget to remember That regret lives in this heart of mine Maybe love forgot this time (I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive (I'mpossible) And love forgot that we depend on it (It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way That poetry will ever rhyme Maybe love forgot this time Did you forget this time Did you forget this time Don't forget me now Don't forget me now Did you forget somehow Did you forget somehow more free lyrics |
2. _ Like I'm Invisible
You talk about me as if I'm not there You don't even whisper cuz you just don't care I stand there and listen to my life go by And at times I wonder why I even try Well I try because I like to finish what I start And I have faith it can get better tomorrow But it won't if you keep treating me Like I'm invisible [1] - Say that you won't treat me The way you're treating me Say that you won't I see you but you just keep looking right through me Like someone you don't even see Like I'm invisible You brag to your friends how much I must want ya You said I was someone you could do with or without You're so confident that I'd never leave you No wonder you're surprised that I am walking out Well, I have to leave no matter how sad it might be Because this hurt's become my reality And I won't let you keep on treating me Like I'm invisible [Repeat 1] Well I finally got the nerve to move on Cuz a fly kind of guy like me Surely deserves more, much more My new love can see what's inside of me And she told me to thank you For the good love that you blew, and oh I wish you could see the way she looks at me She don't keep me insecure or treat me lovelessly She don't hide me from her friends when we have company And she never ever makes me feel Like I'm invisible And after we lay here, she wants me to stay here I'm not just for making love then expected to leave I'm not only someone used for helping her ends meet And she'd never ever walk on by me Like I'm invisible Like I'm invisible more free lyrics |

I hope you hear this cuz I'm about to say it now Guess I'm to blame and it's just a shame Cuz I had the chance to tell you what you meant But I lived my life thinking I had time And that in my mind I'd get to it Now you've gone away, not a single day goes by When I don't think about it Your spirit's all around, I can say it now I hope you hear this Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way And it ain't the same Cuz you never ever got to hear me say That I love you, cuz I waited too late So oh, I've got to tell everybody Don't make the same mistake [1] - It's alright to say I love you out loud And it's all good, so don't you keep it inside Let it out, do it today No no no, don't you wait Cuz it just might be too late To say I love you Don't walk a mile inside my shoes Cuz if you do, you're gonna regret it Don't take it lightly thinking they might be Here or there tomorrow Why you wanna wait, communicate Don't assume that they already know How much, how much you're really feeling And you really, really love them Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way And it ain't the same Cuz you never ever got to hear me say That I love you, cuz I waited too late It's like I would tell anybody Don't make the same mistake like I did [Repeat 1] Those three words make all the difference in the world You might wait and miss your chance So don't be scared to say what you're feeling You can't turn back the hands of time If you get the chance, do it right Let it out, say it now Say it [Repeat 1] [Repeat 1] I'm ready Ready to shout it out, shout it out loud So ready Oh how I wish I could tell you right now But I waited too late So today I won't make the same mistake, no I won't do it, and if I get the chance I'll say it [Repeat 1] [Repeat 1] [Repeat 1] It's alright more free lyrics |
