Don't Give Up

Hide behind a bottle

Hide behind a vice

It always served you well

You're keen to pay the price

Used to be so angry that it spilled out

of your veins

But you've been getting over the sum

of all that pain.

Ch:

So don't give up, don't give up

You're gonna see the rainbow

Love will fill up all your cup.

Don't give up, don't give up

You're gonna see that rainbow

Love will fill up all your cup.

Fill up all your cup.

Don't need the white lies

Don't need the fear

But, don't you be afraid

To unleash all those tears

You always feel the need

To stand as though you're strong

But emotion is reality

And realness can't be wrong

-

Ch

-

Remember to laugh

Remember to play

You're only here a while

And then we go away

So blaze a wild trail

Take another bend

When you come around the corner

Bliss will find you in the end.

V1:

Looking Deep Inside The Well, Inside The Well

Looking Deep Inside

Throwing Stones Inside The Well, Inside The Well

Throwing Stones Inside

Ch:

Could It Be Impossible, Impossible

Could It Be To Feel So Deep

'Cause I Could Drown In All My Insecurity

Or, Get Back On My Feet

V2:

Crossed An Ocean To Be Right Here, To Be Right Here

Oh, To Be Right Here

Touched The Wave As It Came Rolling In

As It Rolled Right In

Ch:

Could It Be Impossible, Impossible

Could It Be To Feel So Deep

'Cause I Could Drown In All My Insecurity

Or, Get Back On My Feet...

Diamond Hands - (Written 2007- L Diaz)

Diamond hands, one night stands

He joked about it, but the shoe falls where it lands

He had some dreams, had some plans

Wasn't just about pleasing all his fans

(no, no, no, no__no, no, no)

-

He was a man, lonely with regret

Using the bottle, trying to forget

There were some loves, there were some leaves

Looking at him, he's not quite all he seems

(no, no, no, no__no, no, no)

-

Diamond hands, he's just a man

Loves his family, will do all that he can

To make things right, he'll always fight

When he states his words, he'll try to do it right

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah_yeah, yeah, yeah)

-

Don't mistake his smile and attitude

For the inside of this contemplative dude

He may be holding back the tears

But he's just as good at masking all his fears

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah_yeah, yeah, yeah)

-

Diamond hands, one night stands

He didn't choose this life, it fell into his hands

He had a woman, given her his name

She broke his heart, and he wasn't quite the same

(no, no, no, no__no, no, no)

-

He's coming back though, stronger than before

Don't wanna battle those demons anymore

He's got his art, a great big heart

And that's the building blocks for his brand new start

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah_yeah, yeah, yeah)

Everybody needs an Everyday Song

To get you through the everyday throng

Of birth and death and in-between

For most of us the average scene

*

Chorus:

Well, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away

Yeah, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away

*

Everyday I build a karmic bridge

With links to people all-around

Good or evil I forge a trail

That I have to walk along

*

It's not unusual at the end of the day

To feel spent and needy in some way

Feeling passed along on the conveyor belt

Of human trouble and pained self-doubt

*

Chorus:

Well, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away

Yeah, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away

Yeah, everyone goes away someday

*

Can't blame others when you've lost the glow

The way you play or treat your soul

Toil and tumble and fall in-line

Losing track of what's divine

*

Chorus:

Well, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away

Yeah, everyone, yeah, everyone goes away

Yeah, everyone goes away someday

Everyone goes away Someday

Everyone, Everyone, Someday

Everyone, Everyone, Someday

Everyone, Everyone, Someday

Easier That Way

I Saw You Hurting
But You Never Cried
And, I Saw How Poverty
Couldn't Steal Your Pride

And, You Never Complained
About Life Being Fair, No
Somehow You Knew That
It Would Just Turn Out Square

You Cared, You Even Called Me
Friend
Said You Loved Me
Even In The End

You Gave Me Peace
When I Felt Awkward And
Scared
And, You Sheltered Me
When No One Else Cared

Chorus:
Maybe, I Was Running So Far
So Fast
Thinking Our Kind Of Love
Wasn't Meant To Last

Maybe, I Didn't Hear What
You Had To Say
Maybe, Ties Are Broken
Easier, Easier That Way

So, Now We're Living
Different Lives
Never Sewed Together
Them Old Broken Ties

My Self-Destructive Anger
And, My Fierce Denial
Meant I'd Never Go
The Extra Mile, For You

Chorus:
Maybe, I Was Running So Far
So Fast
Thinking Our Kind Of Love
Wasn't Meant To Last

Maybe, I Didn't Hear What
You Had To Say
Maybe, Ties Are Broken
Easier, Easier That Way

Bridge:
Now Times Are Changing
And It's Me Who's Reaching Out
I Keep Coming Up Empty
And Know Exactly What It's
All About

Chorus:
Maybe, I Was Running So Far
So Fast
Thinking Our Kind Of Love
Wasn't Meant To Last

Maybe, I Didn't Hear What
You Had To Say
Maybe, Ties Are Broken
Easier, Easier That Way

Hey, this is a story about living in the right now

'Bout being grateful for the past

The lessons learned and the lessons still to come

My, the days go by so fast

*

Just gotta keep movin'

Gotta keep groovin'

Don't let the daily grind get you low

Have faith in your own way

Remember to go play

Just like a child learning to run

Hey, we all need a little fun

Yeah, we all need a little fun

*

Yeah, you feel the weight of the world

Sometimes feel tired and blue

And there's been moments of pain and rejection

But you manage to pull through

And there are times when you may not have the answers

Well, is that really true?

'Cause you got senses and instincts like radar,

And, yeah, they talk to you

(And they say)

Chorus:

Just gotta keep movin'

Gotta keep groovin'

Don't let the daily grind get you low

Have faith in your own way

Remember to go play

Just like a child learning to run

Hey, we all need a little fun

Yeah, we all need a little fun
