Stronger Than Pride

love is stronger than pride


i won't pretend that i intend to stop living 
i won't pretend i'm good at forgiving 
but i can't hate you 
although i have tried 
mmmm 

i still really really love you 
love is stronger than pride 
i still really really love you 
mmmm 

i won't pretend that i intend to stop living 
i won't pretend i'm good at forgiving 
but i can't hate you 
although i have tried 
mmmm 

i still really really love you 
love is stronger than pride 
i still really really love you 
mm mm mm mm mm 

sitting here wasting my time 
would be like 
waiting for the sun to rise 
it's all too clear things come and go 
sitting here waiting for you 
would be like waiting for winter 
it's gonna be cold 
there may even 
be snow 

i still really really love you 
love is stronger than pride 
i still really really love you 
love is stronger 
i still really love you 
love is stronger than pride

nothing can come between us

i always hope that you remember 
we'll never really learn the meaning of it all 
what we have is strong and tender 
so hold on 
in the middle of the madness 

when the time is running out and you're left alone 
all i want is you to know that 
it's strong still 
can't pull us apart 

nothing can come 
between us 
nothing can pull us apart 
can come 
between us 

i always hope that you remember 
what we have is strong and tender 
in the middle of the madness 
hold on 

so it truly is a good thing 
and i always wanted you to know 
there is always this 
and this is everlasting 
hold on 

it's about faith 
it's about trust, yeah yeah 
it's about faith 
it's about trust 

nothing can come 
nothing can come 
nothing can come between us 
nothing can come 
nothing can come 
nothing can come between us 

can come 
can tear 
can pull 
us apart 

can come 
can tear 
can pull 
us apart 



haunt me

haunt me 
in my dreams 
if you please 
your breath is with me now and always 
it's like a breeze 

so should you ever doubt me 
if it's help that you need 
never dare to doubt me 

and if you want to sleep 
i'll be quiet 
like an angel 
as quiet as your soul could be 
if you only knew 
you had a friend like me 

so should you ever doubt me 
if it's help that you need 
never dare to doubt me

with your head in your hands 
oh no keep looking 

say let my life alone 

some will tell you that you're wrong 
you do it all the wrong way 
some will tell you that you're wrong 
that you don't know the way 

they enjoy cheapness 
don't show your weakness 
don't let them bother you no 
they enjoy cheapness

clean heart

clean heart 
clean and sharp 
clean dream 
bad start 

he loved his brother and his sister 
luke and tony called him mister 
they made him feel much more 
like a man 
he loved his daddy though he never told him 
and how he loved his mother 
he loved 
he loved her like an italian 

little janet said you look so fine 
so fine 
something in his smile 
made them feel like strangers 
and then he straightened his belt 
with a lover's touch 
and he said i'm gonna bring home 
the things that are out of your clutch 

seemed like the hottest night in summer 
a heat that makes you feel like dying 

somewhere in the next block 
there was a baby crying 

finger on the trigger for the years to come 

and as the moon slid up over the restless streets 
sirens mocking and people stop to see 
their greedy eyes don't realise 
he's someone's son 
finger on the trigger for the years to come 

finger on the trigger for the years to come

i give you my life 
it isn't a lie 
i tell only the truth 
i give you my love 
i think i'd even die for you 

surrender your love 
surrender your love to me 
surrender your love 
surrender your love to me

i never thought i'd see the day

you shed a shadow on my life 
shed a shadow on a love 
took the shelter out of my life 
took the shelter of a lie 

i could see it in your restless eyes 
the truth i was hiding 
the truth you could not disguise 

but i never thought i'd see the day 
i knew i'd need a miracle to make you stay 
i knew 
i needed 
a miracle 
and i never thought i'd see the day 

you put a shadow on a love 
took a shelter of a lie 
took the shelter out of my life 

i wish you could shelter me 
shelter me now 
i need a miracle 
and i never thought i'd see the day
