2. HEARTACHE EVERY MOMENT

From lashes to ashes
And from lust to dust
In your sweetest torment
I'm lost
And no heaven can help us
Ready, willing and able
To lose it all
For a kiss so fatal
And so warm

Oh, it's heartache every moment
From the start till the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby, with you

We sense the danger
But don't wanna give up
'Cause there's no smile of an angel
Without the wrath of God

Oh, it's heartache every moment
From the start till the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby, with you
My darling, with you

From lashes to ashes
And from lust to dust
In your sweetest torment
I am lost
And we sense the danger
But don't wanna give up

Oh, it's heartache every moment
From the start till the end
It's heartache every moment
With you
Deeper into our heavenly suffering
Our fragile souls are falling
It's heartache every moment
Baby, with you
That's right.

3. LOSE YOU TONIGHT

Don't run away
'Cause I can't live without you
Please stay
And I learn to love you right

'Cause I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I've been crying for you
Die for you all this time
Yeah, 'cause I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I'm not gonna lose you tonight

Don't run away
I never wanted to hide you
Please stay
And I learn to treat you right

'Cause I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I've been crying for you
Die for you all this time
Yeah, 'cause I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
I'm not gonna lose you tonight

'Cause I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I've been crying for you
Die for you all this time
I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I ain't gonna lose you tonight

I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I've been crying for you
Die for you all this time
I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I ain't gonna lose you tonight

I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I've been crying for you
Die for you all this time
I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life
And I've been crying for you
Die for you all this time

I was waiting for you
Waiting for all my life.

4. IN JOY AND SORROW

Oh girl, we are the same
We are young and lost and so afraid
There's no cure for the pain
No shelter from the rain
All our prayers seem to fail

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart

Oh girl, we are the same
We are strong and blessed and so brave
With souls to be saved
And faith regained
All our tears wiped away

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow it's breaking my heart.

5. PRETENDING

Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are its willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame

Trust is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
The more we have, the more we want
And the more it hurts our hearts, my baby
It always ends up in tears

So keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it's alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending, it's alright

When doubts arise, the game begins
The one we will never win, my baby
It always ends up in tears

So keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it's alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending, it's alright

Come on

So keep on pretending
Our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on pretending, it's alright
So keep on pretending
It will be the end of our craving
Keep on pretending, it's alright

Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though we are its willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame.

6. CLOSE TO THE FLAME

The kiss sweetest
And touch so warm
One smile kindest
In this world so cold and strong

We're so close to the flame
Burning brightly
It won't fade away
Leave us lonely

The arms safest
And words so good
The faith deepest, yeah
In this world so cold and cruel

We're so close to the flame
Burning brightly
It won't fade away
Leave us lonely

So close to the flame
Burning brightly
Won't fade away
Leave us lonely

Close to the flame
Burning brightly
Won't fade away
Leave us lonely.

7. YOU ARE THE ONE

Love I won't surrender
At any cost
A little something so sweet and tender
From my heart
Yes, I've done my evil
I've done my good
Just believe me, honey
I won't let go of you

You are the one
And there's no regrets at all
You are the one
And there's no regrets at all

We've had our share of misfortune
We've had our blues
And God is not our Messiah
Yes, it's true
But you keep forgetting, baby
The beauty of us two
There is no one who could take that away
From me and you

You are the one
And there's no regrets at all
You are the one
And there's no regrets at all

You are the one
And there's no regrets at all
You are the one
And there's no regrets at all.

8. PLEASE DON'T LET IT GO

We're drifting apart, but I won't give in, no
Wherever you are I belong
Love sings us a song, but we fail to sing along
Wherever you go I will follow

So please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go
So please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go

You try to be strong, but you're only so alone
Whatever I do, I do it wrong
Death sings our song, and we eagerly sing along
Whatever you do I adore

So please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go
So please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go

Don't let go of life
Let go of love
Let go of all we have
Don't let go of trust
Let go of lust
Let go of all we share

So please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go
Please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go

So please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go
Please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go

So please don't let it, please don't let it go
'Cause if you won't let it, I won't let it go
Please don't let it, please don't let it go.

9. BEAUTIFUL

Just one look
Into your eyes
One look
And I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful
Just one kiss
And I'm alive
One kiss and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful, yeah

Just one touch
I'm on fire
One touch
And I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful
Just one smile
And I'm wild
One smile and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful, yeah

Oh, and you're so beautiful
My darling
Oh, you're so beautiful
Oh, you're so beautiful
Oh, my baby
You're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful, yeah
Oh, my darling, oh my baby
And you're so beautiful.

10. IN LOVE AND LONELY

In love and lonely
In love and lonely

I'm not with you, my baby
Just to see you cry
I'm in love with you
Not the tears in your eyes
I can't remember
The last time we smiled
Oh, I know how it feels
I know what it's like

To be in love and lonely
In love and lonely

Don't know what to do, my baby
It's not alright
This can't be the end
The time to say goodbye
Oh no, I won't walk away that easy
After all this time
Oh, you know how it feels
You know what it's like

To be in love and lonely
In love and lonely
In love and lonely
In love and lonely

Oh, you know how it feels
You know what it's like
You know how it is
But you just can't stop crying

In love and lonely (8 x)
That's right.

11. DON'T CLOSE YOUR HEART

I know how it feels to be on your own
In this cruel world
Where hearts are bound to turn to stone
Where you are alone
And tired of breathing
It's all going wrong
And you just can't stand the pain
Anymore
You're too numb to believe in
In anything

Baby, just don't close your heart
Baby, just don't close your heart
Baby, just don't close your heart
Darling, don't let me down

I know how easy it is to let go
Surrender to despair lurking at your door
You lose your soul
And all your feelings
Strength all gone
And so many things left unsaid
And deeds undone
Oh, you've stopped caring
'Cause it's all in vain

Baby, just don't close your heart
Baby, just don't close your heart
Baby, just don't close your heart
Darling, don't let me down

You're so alone
And tired of breathing
It's all going wrong
And you just can't stand the pain

Baby, just don't close your heart
Baby, just don't close your heart
Baby, just don't close your heart
Darling, don't let me down
Don't let me down, ooh yeah
Don't let me down, yeah, yeah
Just don't let me down.

12. LOVE YOU LIKE I DO

On my heart I'll bear the shame
No prayer can ease the pain

No one will love you
No one will love you the way I do
No one will love you
Love you like I do

And there's no escape
Just countless mistakes

No one will love you
No one will love you the way I do
No one will love you
Love you like I do

And never be the same
Witness trust fade away

No one will love you
No one will love you the way I do
No one will love you
Love you like I do

No one will love you
No one will love you the way I do
No one will love you
Love you like I do

Love you like I do
Love you like I do (4 x).
