Naimee Coleman
I don't know why
You treat me like you do
I don't know why
I didn't see right through you
Words can do funny things
Think of the hurt they can bring
But I don't care about you anymore
I sit here in the darkness
Buried in my fears
Gasping as my soul
Lies drowning in my tears
Thoughts of you make me smile
Or sit and cry for a while
But I don't care about you anymore
No I don't care about you anymore
Your eyes so dark and deep
Barely meet my eyes anymore
I'm not here to abuse
Not here to ignore
I'm shouting for the silence
Alone in a crowd
I'm blinded by the darkness
Whispering out loud - out loud
But I don't care about you anymore
No I don't care about you anymore
Care about you
Care about you
No I don't care about you anymore
Naimee Coleman
Don't turn away from me
It's my turn to walk away
Don't dare to ask me why
You knew this would happen some day
It's my turn to make you feel
Like someone's caged your soul
Don't dare ask me to stop -
It's out of my control
It's out of my control
Things are not what they seem
You should know
You made them that way
You said it would all change tomorrow
Tomorrow's become today
You said that it was a secret
You said that noone should know
Well know I'm shouting out loud -
It's out of my control
It's out of my control
Your words raced through my head
You tried to confuse me
Without you my skies are blue
I can see clearly
Now I'm in control
Now I'm in control
Naimee Coleman
You insist that the weight you carry
Must be the weight of the world
Hey - the doctor left long ago
And you should already be cured
Forgive me if I shout too loud
When we are together
It's just the nurses left long ago
And you should be better
Because you're better than this
You're better than this...
When ever you fall down
I try my best to pick you back up
But you weigh yourself down
Believing that you're out of luck
My arms are getting tired
And you're getting heavy these days
I want to make it better
But I'm running out of ways
Because you're better than this
You're better than this...
You don't need me to be your crutch
You've got two legs of your own
You say you can't bear to be down
Well get up off the floor where you've been thrown
Because you're better than this
You're better than this...
Naimee Coleman
Facing you in the wind
Of the grey city
Losing my words in the thunder
You and nameless faces
In wandering nights
What do you think of me
I wonder
With six strings and drum beats
My fear is lost in the smoke
You're idle chat it made me laugh
Before I spoke
If inhibitions really do exist
I'll hide them in my silver wrists
That little girl is gone
She'll never exist
Just me and my silver wrists
Would I sound silly saying
You make me feel alive
I'm smiling at you as I
Stroke the blade of the knife
If inhibitions really do exist
I'll hide them in my silver wrists
That little girl is gone
She'll never exist
Just me and my silver wrists
Facing you in the wind
Of the grey city
Losing my words in the thunder
You and nameless faces
In wandering nights
What do you think of me
I wonder
Think of me, I wonder?
Naimee Coleman
There's an angel sitting with me
She says she's lost her wings
As the walls tumble around her
She must accept these things
The sky can seem too high
When we're stuck here on the ground
And our arms can seem too short
To be able to touch our cloud
But still she sings
But still she sings
This angel carries loads
Far too heavy for just one soul
And calmly takes things thrown at her
Because its all out of her control
She's got a light inside her
Brighter than ever seen before
And one day will shine so brightly
That nobody can ignore
When she sings
When she sings
She has never turned away
When I have needed a friend
With a voice that sings so sweetly
And a song that will never end
Still she sings
Still she sings
Naimee Coleman
Do you place me on a pedestal
Your past gone without a trace
Will I tread oh so carefully
As not to fall from state of grace
If I fall at your feet
Will you ask me to stay
Or smiling at me
Will you turn around and walk away
You're watching, listening, but never paying attention
I'll go ahead and walk away
Oblivious to your affection
You really should try not to judge me
You really don't know me at all
You stand there and say that you care for me
Hands closed tight as you watch me fall
You're watching, listening, but never paying attention
I'll go ahead and walk away
Oblivious to your affection
Your ruthless affection
Your ruthless affection
Naimee Coleman
I love summer rain
I love sunshine
I love being around you
All of the time
You've shown me things
That I've never seen before
Small smart things
I'm starting to adore
And I adore you
Sometimes
I love the way it seems so quiet in the snow
I love the way I tell you things that noone else could know
I love the way you make me laugh with just one look
We're a fairy tale romance taken straight from a book
And I adore you
Sometimes
I worry you'll go away
And never come back
Have I told you this before
Sorry I lose track
Of the times I've sat and wondered
What you really think of me
And when you stand and look at me
Exactly what you see
Do you adore me
Sometimes
I love the shape you're mouth makes when you smile
I love the way you are so grown up
With the eyes of a child
I love the way you tell me that you're mine
And I love summer rain
And I love sunshine
And I adore you
Sometimes
Yes I adore you
Sometimes
Derek Duggan/Naimee Coleman
Lying consciously my conscience
Won't let the words come out
I'm taking off my blindfold
Learning what the world's about
Because there's nothing there to remind me
Should we never meet again
I tell you that my memories
Have been lost in time
Like tears in the rain -
or so it seems
Seeing things differently to the
Way they were before
The more my mind wanders
The less I ignore
Because there's nothing there to remind me
Should we never meet again
I tell you that my memories
Have been lost in time
Like tears in the rain -
or so it seems
The hands of the clock
Have always been cruel to me
Have I found someone's hand or am I
Letting go consciously
Because there's nothing there to remind me
Should we never meet again
I tell you that my memories
Have been lost in time
Like tears in the rain -
or so it seems
Naimee Coleman
I sometimes hear my voice
Saying things that it's not meant to say
And I'll sometimes do tomorrow
Things I was meant to do yesterday
Sometimes when I try to smile
My face is captured by a frown
And while trying to stand up tall
Sometimes I fall right down
Someone once said, 'stay true to yourself
Though others may doubt in all you are
And all that you're about'
Sometimes when you look at me
I can tell what you're thinking
When I'm drowning in the chaos around me
You're the one who stops me sinking
Someone once said, 'stay true to yourself
Though others may doubt in all you are
And all that you're about'
I try my very best to be satisfied with
Who I am
But it's sometimes not enough
Even when I do the best I can
Someone once said, 'stay true to yourself
Though others may doubt in all you are
And all that you're about'
Naimee Coleman
Stand still for a moment
Stand here with me
Open your eyes up wide
There are wonders to see
Maybe your life right now
Isn't what you're about
You should realise that it's alright to shout
And say that you're frightened of all that's to come
And fall down
And hold tight
To someone
Don't speak for a moment
Be silent with me
Be wide eyed and open
There are wonders to see
Maybe where you are now
Isn't what you're about
You should realise that it's alright to shout
And say that you're frightened of all that's to come
And fall down
And hold tight
To someone
Relax for a moment
Lie easy with me
Lose your inhibitions
There are wonders to see
Maybe all of this aggression
Isn't what your about
You should realise that it's alright to shout
And say that you're frightened of all that's to come
And fall down
And hold tight
To someone
