Adan Torres

So I woke this morning
Tears running down my eyes
My heart still in pain
She's no longer by my side

Silent days
Sleepless nights
Emptiness fills my heart
Memories echo in my mind

She walked away
Leaving all behind
Without a say
Without the hurt defined
Was it words I said or something I did
Did her dreams get to her instead

I tried so hard
I poured my heart
I wanted her to stay
But she thought otherwise

Were there words I could’ve said
Was there something I could’ve done
There’s no guilt but regret lingers in my mind

She walked away
Leaving all behind
Without a say
Without the hurt defined
Was it words I said or something I did
Did her dreams get to her instead

She walked away
Leaving all behind
Without a say
Without the hurt defined
Was it words I said or something I did
Did her dreams get to her instead

She walked away
Leaving all behind
She's no longer by my side
But I can’t get her off my mind

(she walked away)

Nights lived in silence
Secrets hide in shame
From the soul there's no hiding
Memories remain

(ohh…)

The truth lies beyond
Far beyond mundane
One truth about the young
Actions go unexplained

(ahh… ahh…)

How could one forget
The soul lives in shame
You may recall
Memories remain
How could you forget
The mind relives the past
There’s no compromise
Thoughts haunt the hourglass

(ohh… ohh…)

There’s no control
Thoughts come and go
(ahh…)
And they remind what you don’t wanna know

(oh…)

And late at night
When deep in thoughts
You’ll come to realize
The past does not disguise

(ohh…)

How could one forget
The soul lives in shame
You may recall
Memories remain
How could you forget
The mind relives the past
There’s no compromise
Thoughts haunt the hourglass

(ahh… ohh…)
(soft, held…)

As another night comes down
You will come to learn
The mind circles back around
Is the morals you will yearn

(ahh… ahh…)

How could one forget
The soul lives in shame
You may recall
Memories remain
How could you forget
The mind relives the past
There’s no compromise
Thoughts haunt the hourglass

(ohh…)
(ahh…)
(memories remaim....)

Every moment passing by
Every night you close your eyes
I’ll be by your side
Ensure you find your calm in life

Through the day and through the night
When you need me by your side
I will help you through the morning light
Get you through the night

When you find yourself alone
In days when I’m not home
Know you’re in my heart
The thought of you is in my mind
When you feel nights are long
And loneliness fills the home
Know you’re in my heart
Because you’ve been there from the start

Our love has been
Through good and bad
It doesn’t just remain
It grows as time goes by
And in our lives
We share our love
A love defined
Through struggles that make us whole

When you find yourself alone
In days when I’m not home
Know you’re in my heart
The thought of you is in my mind
When you feel nights are long
And loneliness fills the home
Know you’re in my heart
Because you’ve been there from the start

Now at home, I hold you near
You’re where you wanna be
Inside the home we both hold dear

When you find yourself alone
In days when I’m not home
Know you’re in my heart
The thought of you is in my mind
When you feel nights are long
And loneliness fills the home
Know you’re in my heart
Because I’ve loved you from the start

The wait is over
The night is here
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Than to be with you, my dear

This night is the best night of my life
This night is the best time one could ever have
You wear the smile that says to me
You’re the one I love
You’re where I wanna be
A night nothing less than magical
A night to forever be recalled
A special night for you and I
Is the night where I wanna be

The candles resting on the table
The wines and their fancy labels
The roses and sweets
And perfume you wear for me

The romantic words
The steps on the dance floor
The cupid aiming the hearts
And the cuddles late at night

This night is the best night of my life
This night is the best time one could ever have
You wear the smile that says to me
You’re the one I love
You’re where I wanna be
A night nothing less than magical
A night to forever be recalled
A special night for you and I
The night where hope and love collide

The precious ring
The passion love brings
All under one night
The moment that signals paradise
In this night love finds the way
I turn to you
You hear me say

This night is the best night of my life
This night is the best time one could ever have
You wear the smile that says to me
You’re the one I love
You’re where I wanna be
A night nothing less than magical
A night to forever be recalled
A special night for you and I
The night that changes our lives

This is the best night of our lives

I want you by my side
And I wanna say the reason why
Let you know I want you near
Whisper in your ear
Say the words you’ll wanna hear
Let you know love is you my dear

Your love means the world to me
Your love is where I wanna be
My heart opens up for you
You know my love is true

No one loves me like you do
No one feels like you
No one comes close to you
The reason I want you by my side
The reason I pray for you at night
The reason I wanna live my life
Baby, for your love I’m willing to fight
Oh baby, you’re the reason why

Not a single day goes by
Not a single night without you on my mind
Baby, you’re the reason why

It’s you I live for
It’s you I adore
No other love comes near

Has always been
Will always be
Your love is my one true love
You’re the one for me

No one loves me like you do
No one feels like you
No one comes close to you
The reason I want you by my side
The reason I pray for you at night
The reason I wanna live my life
Baby, for your love I’m willing to fight
Oh baby, you’re the reason for life

My heart never leaves your side
My thoughts keep me warm inside
The joy to hear your name
Without you it wouldn’t be the same

The sound of your voice at night
Your whisper ensures my life
The joy to have you near
Love is you, my dear

Every step I take
Leads back to you
Through night and day
I know the truth
I walk through life knowing you’re there
I wake to morning light without a care
I smile while you make our fate clear
Endless hope because you’re here

[Instrumental – soft melodic reprise of chorus]

The tears I sometimes cry
The fear I feel inside
Not more than life and doubt
But your love takes away the cloud

All comes back to life
Warmth again fills my heart
It all becomes so clear
It’s because you’re here my dear

I walk through life knowing you’re there
I wake to morning light without a care
I smile while you make our fate clear
Endless hope because you’re here

With final thoughts I come to you
I will love you forever
Just like you do

I walk through life knowing you’re there
I wake to morning light without a care
I smile while you make our fate clear
Endless hope because you’re here
Right here, by my side
Side by side

He woke every day
Knowing she’d be there
He slept without a care
Forgetting life isn’t fair

But there would come a day
Life came crashing down
She left with nothing to say
He knelt on the ground

I said, life isn’t fair
When things didn’t go my way
But when she was here
I decided to play
I said, life isn’t fair
And I would cry aloud
But not once did I bother to tell her
Without you life comes crashing down

But just like a knife
Life may cut both ways
And like all those other guys
Who decided to play

The wound would stay
Long after the knife
The life isn’t fair
Would also apply to his ex-wife

I said, life isn’t fair
When things didn’t go my way
But when she was here
I decided to play
I said, life isn’t fair
And I would cry aloud
Now I can see
The shock may come when you’re feeling proud

Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Yeah, I said life isn’t fair
I said life isn’t fair
Have it your way
But remember I said life isn’t fair

Yeah I said life isn’t fair
I said life isn’t fair
Have it your way
But remember a knife may cut both ways

[Spoken]
Don’t ask me why
It’s just the way it goes
Don’t ask why cause I truly don’t know but here we go

Here we go

[Yelled]
Wowwwwwwwwww!!!!

[Verse 1]
It could be night
It could be morning
It could be rain
It could be storming
It doesn’t change
It’s there for me
One step ahead and never willing to retreat
I look ahead
Not to the sides
I know it’s there
It never hides

Chance goes my way
I don’t know why
I come prepared
And that’s no lie

[Chorus]
It could be night
It could be morning
It could be rain
It could be storming
It doesn’t change
It’s there for me
One step ahead and never willing to retreat
I look ahead
Not to the sides
I know it’s there
It never hides

[Extended Instrumental Break – driving rhythm]
(Guitars build, drums open up, no vocals)

[Bridge – half time, restrained vocals]
A tossup in the air
Always on my side
You say it isn’t fair
I’m not gonna lie
Not gonna lie
No-no
Not gonna lie
Not gonna lie

[Instrumental Drop – minimal]
(Kick and bass only, crowd-like claps fade in)

Wowwwwwwwwww!!!!

[Chorus – re-entry]
It could be night
It could be morning
It could be rain
It could be storming
It doesn’t change
It’s there for me
One step ahead and never willing to retreat
I look ahead
Not to the sides
I know it’s there
It never hides

[Yelled – surprised]
Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!!!!

[Chant Breakdown – audience response]
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Pop-pop-pop-pop
(repeat, crowd response grows)

[Extended Instrumental Break – driving rhythm, variation]

Ooooooooooooh

You got one on me
That’s good for you
But it shouldn’t be
It shouldn’t be
It shouldn’t be

Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Pop-pop-pop-pop
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Pop-pop-pop

[Final Chorus – full energy]
It could be night
It could be morning
It could be rain
It could be storming
It doesn’t change
It’s there for me
One step ahead and never willing to retreat
I look ahead
Not to the sides
I know it’s there
It never hides

[Outro – stripped back, reflective]
It never retreats
(beat drops out, final word hangs)
