Lyrics
Words
It’s an all day, all night, big city
Don’t it shout so loud
We got fast times, headlines, it ain’t pretty
Ain’t no turning it down
Freight trains, jet planes and the sirens
Filling up my head
But I won’t trade that for the silence
Of my empty bed
The sound of my breaking heart
The sound of my breaking heart
There ain’t no pity here in the city
For the sound of my breaking heart
This town’s no place for whispers
Ain’t what it’s all about
When the pain inside gets louder
They come to drown it out
To let the city take over, louder than thunder
Maybe then I can pretend
That I can’t hear the cries and the tears and the whys
And the "when will this pain ever end?"
The sound of my breaking heart
The sound of my breaking heart
There ain’t no pity here in the city
For the sound of my breaking heart
(x2)
I remember when my heart, it used to sing
When the sweetest of sounds was your name
I remember when we used to get away
Where we whispered the love, love
We made
There ain’t no pity here in the city
For the sound of my breaking heart
Can’t turn it down in my head
Give me the city instead
There ain’t no pity here in the city
For the sound of my breaking heart
Does your heart still beat a rhythm?
Are you just leading me on?
Sometimes I just think you are kiddin’
You say the words, but all the feeling’s gone
How can you love if you don’t give your heart away?
Don’t really know what happened here
But I just can’t hold on
Without a connection all hope is gone
If it’s just fake affection it don’t last that long
For something to matter it’s got to be real
Ain’t nothin’ gonna change until you learn to feel
Apologies only go so far baby
I’m tired of hearing them every single day
You’re a merry-go-round breaking down
You’re driving me crazy
It’s a nasty job and it just ain’t worth the pay
How can you love if you don’t give your heart away?
Don’t really know what happened here
But I just can’t hold on
Without a connection all hope is gone
If it’s just fake affection it don’t last that long
For something to matter it’s got to be real
Ain’t nothin’ gonna change until you learn to feel
When you gonna learn to change?
No more playing silly games
For something to matter it’s got to be real
And I just can’t hold on
Now love’s an unknown journey when it starts
You never know to where or just how far
Could it be paradise or regret?
A thousand miles or just one step?
But look at us, just look at where we are
We’ve come too far just to turn around
The top of the mountain is ours
And we’re so close, got to stay on the road that we found
No we just can’t turn back now
There may have been some trials along the way
But we found strength and no, we did not stray
We’re getting closer now, with every step,
A place no one’s discovered yet
Made for only us, I know it waits
We’ve come too far just to turn around
The top of the mountain is ours
And we’re so close, got to stay on the road that we found
No we just can’t turn back now
(x2)
This road, staying on this road
Gotta stay on this road
Ah-ah-ah-ah
(x2)
We’ve come too far just to turn around
The top of the mountain is ours
And we’re so close, got to stay on the road that we found
No we just can’t turn back now
When you’re feeling colder than a stone
And hope is like a candle burning low
And it’s the darkest night you’ve ever known
And it goes on and on and on and on
Remember…….
Sunrise never fails
(when darkness feels like it will never end)
Sunrise never fails
(you wonder will it ever shine again)
Sunrise never fails
(there ain’t no night that never turned to day)
Sunrise never fails, sunrise never fails
Even when you can’t see your way out,
Feeling like no light can find you now
Remember that the world’s still turning around
And it goes on and on and on and on
Remember…….
Sunrise never fails
(when darkness feels like it will never end)
Sunrise never fails
(you wonder will it ever shine again)
Sunrise never fails
(there ain’t no night that never turned to day)
Sunrise never fails, sunrise never fails
Think of all the people holding on
Trying through the darkness to be strong
Looking to the promise of the dawn
Tryin’ to remember, you’ve got to remember
(there ain’t no night that never turned to day)
Sunrise never fails, sunrise never fails
I felt you long before I touched you
In the deepest place
I heard your voice before I met you
Whispering my name
Do you believe in deja vu?
Do you believe in fate?
From the moment I first saw you
Felt like I was home again
Love moves in mysterious ways
For it's wonders to perform, baby all I can say
Love moves in mysterious ways
Yeah,to bring us together
Love moves in mysterious ways
I sensed you coming closer baby
Before you walked my way
Somewhere way back in my dreams
I swear I saw your face
Seems like something guided us
In ways we never see
Like a golden pathway that was
Right there beneath our feet
Love moves in mysterious ways
For it's wonders to perform, baby all I can say
Love moves in mysterious ways
Yeah, to bring us together
Love moves in mysterious ways
I never believed in magic baby.
I'm no believer in fate
But I cant explain how this happens baby
How you came to me
How I knew we'd be
Only thing I can say is..
Love, is love
Moves in mysterious ways
Yeah to bring us together
Love moves in mysterious ways
For it's wonders to perform, baby all I can say
Love moves in mysterious ways
Yeah,to bring us together
Love moves in mysterious ways
Straight into my heart, mysterious
Believe in magic, believe in fate
If only life could be like fairytales
If only I could find a wishing well
Then baby I would have you here again
Instead of being here all by myself
So hard for me to face reality
All that I got left right now is fantasy, oh
If I found a wishing well,
I know what I would do
If anything I wished for would come true,
Or a genie in a lamp to tell me
What I had to choose,
If I had 3 wishes what I'd choose,
Is you, you, you
(you’re the one for me)
And maybe some would wish for millions
Maybe some would choose forever young
But I would use my wishes, every one
To bring back the one I love
So hard for me to face reality
All that I got left right now is fantasy, oh
If I found a wishing well,
I know what I would do
If anything I wished for would come true,
Or a genie in a lamp to tell me
What I had to choose,
If I had 3 wishes what I'd choose,
Is you,you,you
(and darlin’ listen)
I wish that I could hold you in these arms of mine,
I wish that you'd forgive me, put it all behind,
I wish that I was looking deep into your eyes,
For evermore
(instrumental)
(all I want is 3 wishes)
If I found a wishing well,
I know what I would do
If anything I wished for would come true,
Or a genie in a lamp to tell me
What I had to choose,
If I had 3 wishes what I'd choose,
Is you, you, you
I’ve been so cold no matter the season
Felt like winter forever more
Rain or sun well it made no difference
I was frozen right down to the core
When you're beside me
My temperature it gets to rising
You’re the sunshine
Out of the blue, breaking through
After all of this time
When you're smiling
Straight into my heart it's shining
Feels like i’m in love,
I’m in love
This heart of mine was all out of hoping
And to feeling nothing, resigned
Caught in a spell that could only be broken
By the same thing that turned it to ice
When you're beside me
My temperature it gets to rising
You’re the sunshine
Out of the blue, breaking through
After all of this time
When you're smiling
Straight into my heart it's shining
Feels like i’m in love,
I’m in love
Baby you're the reason
For the change of season
In a place long frozen
Something's starting to stir
And if we got closer
If I dared to hold ya,
Something tells me that winter
It would never, never return
No matter where I go it’s true,
Every road it leads to you
(x2)
I've been searching all of my life
For someone who I thought I’d never find
Turning left when I shoulda turned right
Just going round in circles all the time
And you've been there in everything
Right through the thick and through the thin
Searching everywhere for what I've been missing
Can't believe how blind I've been
Baby it's you
The one I always come back to
No matter where I go it's true
Every road it leads to you
No matter where I go it’s true,
Every road it leads to you
All my friends say it's no surprise
Knew that it was you, just a matter of time
'Til I saw it and opened my eyes
Now all I see is loving you
Baby it's you
The one I always come back to
No matter where I go it's true
Every road it leads to you
(x2)
I've been around the world to find
What was right in front of me
Now I see it in your eyes (lord I know)
Baby it's been you all the time, all the time
I never was that man who
Dreamed about a love to last forever
Was never in my plan to find
Someone to spend a life together
Now all at once
Those days are gone
Look what you've done to me, yeah
I know I couldn't live without ya
Not even for a day
You got me here forever
Ain’t going no place
When we're not together
The aching starts
Cos you got me by the heart
I always thought I'd be
That easy come and easy going lover
It never bothered me
When things went wrong no,
I'd just find another
Now all at once
Those days are gone
Look what you've done to me, yeah
I know I couldn't live without ya
Not even for a day
You got me here forever
Ain’t going no place
When we're not together
The aching starts
Cos you got me by the heart
You got me somewhere deep inside,
You got me in a place that never lies
And even if walk away
I know that I would never get too far, get too far
Cos I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you
Lord, I know...
I know I couldn't live without ya
Not even for a day
You got me here forever
Ain’t going no place
When we're not together
The aching starts
Cos you got me by the heart
There's an empty place at my table
And there's a hole here in my heart
A space I can't fill
I don't know where to start,
(where do I even start)
It's like you're only in the next room darlin'
But I can't seem to find that door
I wanna hold you so close to me
Even for just one moment more, once more
Then I seem to get a funny feeling
Somewhere deep inside
Telling me that everything is alright, and
There is a place not so far away from here
Where all of our sorrows just disappear
We'll be together someday, somewhere
Wait for me, I'll meet you there
They say that nothing lasts forever
But lord I know that just ain't true
'Cos I feel you so close to me,
I feel you helping me through,
You’re helping me through
And I seem to get a funny feeling
Somewhere deep inside
Telling me that everything is alright, and
There is a place not so far away from here
Where all of our sorrows just disappear
We'll be together someday, somewhere
Wait for me, I'll meet you there
I will meet you there, meet you somewhere
That's beyond time and space
A lifetime’s just a heartbeat away
Meet you there where I know
You’re gonna save me a place
And we'll be together, back together again
We'll be together someday, somewhere
Wait for me, I'll meet you there
