Looking Over My Shoulder

Album: Voices carry

If I'm calling you out of the blue
It's because it's never-ending
and if I'm dragging out pictures of you
it's because I'm only pretending

and if I'm looking over my shoulder
it's just because I hope you'll be there
and if I'm looking older and older
it's because I know I haven't a prayer

When I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
it wears out after a fashion
and I'm finding it hard to believe
your whole-hearted lack of compassion

and if I'm looking over my shoulder
it's just because I hope you'll be there
and if I'm looking older and older
it's because I know I haven't a prayer

I Could Get Used To This

Album: Voices carry

So far-
or should I take it just a little farther
So good-
and if I think about it, it gets better
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
feeling the way that I do
So long-
or should I stay just a little longer
So much
for keeping it a secret
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
feeling the way that I do
Oh, all the times I told myself
I could never fall in love
Love is just too difficult
Oh, too bad
I'm only talking to myself about it
So sad-
I guess I'm going to have to live without
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
feeling the way that I do
I know, I know, I know how it goes
Baby, will I get the chance?
I could get used to
feeling the way that I do.

No More Crying

Album: Voices carry

There is no love here (there is no love)
Only some sort of blackmail
whatever you feel
(whatever you feel)
probably only comes down
to male and female

No more crying
over you
No more crying
over you
No more crying
over you
No more crying
because of you

Found myself thinking
(you shouldn't think)
he was almost sincere
but you know rumours
(you know that talk)
you believe what you hear

No more crying over you
No more crying over you
No more crying over you
No more crying

I saw it coming
(but you let it come)
it's the same old story
you ignore his lying
(lying)
believe him when he says
that he's sorry

No more crying over you
No more crying over you
No more crying over you
No more crying over over you

No more crying over you
No more crying over you
No more crying over
you

Voices Carry

Album: Voices carry

In the dark, I like to read his mind
but I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
to tear him away
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
why does he say

Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Uh-uh

I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I'll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear

Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Uh-uh

He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line

Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Hush hush shut up now voices carry
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Oh hush hush, darling, she might overhear
Hush, hush - voices carry
He said shut up - he said shut up
Oh God can't you keep it down
Voices carry
Hush hush voices carry
I wish he would let me talk.

Winning The War

Album: Voices carry

You fight just for the sake of it
You know what hurts the most
You might have once been faking it
but now it cuts too close

Winning the war
and losing every battle
you close the door
on happy ever after

We should have stopped it long ago
when there was love still
but we would give in to ego
and never stop until

Winning the war
and losing every battle
you close the door
on happy ever after

I know, you know
winning the war
is not winning at all
I know, you know
winning the war
is not winning at all

Winning the war
and losing every battle
you close the door
on happy ever after

You Know The Rest

Album: Voices carry

Here I go again
making promises
if I tell you no
it still sounds like yes

You know the rest
do I have to say it?

Am I in too deep?
Can I still confess?
-when you trusted me
that was just a guess

I guess
you know the rest
you know the rest
do I have to say it?

Well, I warned you once
but without success
and I just escape
with my heart
a mess

know the rest
(it's not so easy)
you know the rest
(its not that easy)
do I have to say it?
you know the rest.

Maybe Monday

Album: Voices carry

Tell me again you only want what's good for me
tell me again you're gonna make me happy
tell me again I have promises to keep
tell me again- I might stop crying in my sleep

maybe Monday he'll call
maybe Monday he'll call- maybe Monday - oh
maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never
maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never

Tell me again I am almost over it
tell me again pretty soon I'll forget
tell me again you're gonna fix my broken heart
tell me again- maybe I will not fall apart

maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never
maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never

It makes me laugh
I'm spending all my time
Staring at his photograph
and that's the catch
oh, I feel foolish
but I know it's really all I have
maybe Monday he'll call
maybe Monday he'll call
maybe Monday - oh

maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never
maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never
maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never
maybe Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe never

Are You Serious?

Album: Voices Carry

There was a lesson I never learned
Oh, I wouldn't be warned
how many looks does it take
to read your mind oh, on your face?

Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? What in the world are you thinking of?
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?

Calling you up and over the phone
I hear, tell her I'm not at home
Are you afraid to see me crying,
or is it that you're just to used to lying

Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? What in the world are you thinking of?
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?

Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? I don't know what you're thinking of
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?

There's a lesson I'll never learn
ooh, I wouldn't be warned
I dive in deeper, and you've got colder
But I will not cry, oh one more [death comes to love]

Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? I don't know what you're thinking of
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?

Don't Watch Me Bleed

Album: Voices carry

I guess you gave as good as you got
I guess this love is dead at last
But I paid such a lot
the price you pay for living under glass

So don't just kiss me goodbye
that's not what I need
Don't just kiss me goodbye
Don't watch me bleed

You tried to keep me in my place
Said it was love that kept me there
How could you lie right to my face?
And smile at me - and sound so sincere

So don't just kiss me goodbye
that's not what I need
Don't just kiss me goodbye
Don't watch me bleed

Don't just kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
that's not what I need
Don't just kiss me goodbye
Don't watch me bleed

Sleep

Album: Voices carry

You are on your honor, now be on your way
I'll be right behind you, you can hear me say

Sleep, close your eyes, say goodnight now
he is waiting
Sleep, close your eyes, say your prayers now
he is waiting

Thought you'd live forever, thought you'd never die
I am so familiar, with each lonely cry
Oh baby don't cry

Sleep, close your eyes, say goodnight now
he is waiting
Sleep, close your eyes, say your prayers now
he is waiting

Thought you'd live forever
thought you'd change your mind
oh, when you get to heaven
tell me what you find
Peace of mind, I hope

Sleep, close your eyes, say goodnight now
he is waiting
Sleep, close your eyes, say your prayers now
he is waiting

Sleep, close your eyes, say goodnight now
he is waiting
Sleep, close your eyes, say your prayers now
Oh I'll be waiting

Say goodnight
You're not forsaken
say goodnight
he's waiting
