Whiskey in a cup
Put in a straw
Start to walk aimlessly
Nowhere to go

All my friends know
What they need to know
There's nothing to worry
And I have moved on

I just want to get on a plane
And go somewhere in the world
Where I don't feel pain
How much longer can I pretend?
Only time will tell

It pains me to know
Nothing in this world
Can bring you back to life
You’ll live only in my mind

I see people laugh
It's been a while
They're so naive thinking
That's gonna last

Nothing ever lasts
Whether good or bad
Don't kill the messenger
That's how is life

I just want to get on a plane
And go somewhere in the world
Where I don't feel pain
How much longer can I pretend?
Only time will tell

It pains me to know
Nothing in this world
Can bring you back to life
You’ll live only in my heart

ONLY TIME WILL TELL

I know you needed me there
I didn't feel it was fair
Giving you a bit of tough love
So much you don't understand

Just because I don't complain
Doesn't mean everything's great
If I'm to win at this game
I need to put myself first

When I was feeling sore
When I was on the floor
When everything was gone
Where were you then?

When I was out of luck
When I was crying drunk
When I was all alone
Where were you then?

You say you want me to stay
Then give me what I deserve
Ready in case you should stall
You're gonna let me just fall

Just because I don't fight back
Doesn't mean I'm fine with that
You gave me it all every day
And then you took all away

When I was feeling lost
When I gave up on hope
When I could cope no more
Where were you then?

When I was out of air
Everything went to hell
Nobody seemed to care
Where were you then?

Sometimes it's too much to bear
Sometimes it's just what it is
Life is a well of despair
And I'm down to my last wish

WHERE WERE YOU THEN

You thought this was a poker game
And tried to play it cool and safe
Come on baby you should have known
The game was chess all along

You like to fancy yourself a king
That's not a very powerful piece
Seriously though, you're such a bore
I'd much rather be all alone

Hey Baby I'm the Queen
The most powerful piece there is
I can tell you're a beginner
You could never be a winner
This is checkmate for you my dear

You thought the game was hide and seek
Played hard to get, far from my reach
Come on baby you should have known
The game was chess all along

You assumed I'd love you no matter what
And didn't mind to break my heart
now you're back, won't leave me alone
But my heart's cold like a stone

Hey Baby I'm the Queen
The most powerful piece there is
I can tell you're a beginner
You could never be a winner
This is checkmate for you my dear

CHESS

Do you feel safe in your fear?
Because fear is all you know
But what if I told you, what if I showed you
there's something else and you're safe and loved

Do you feel safe in your grief?
'Cause your soul can sink no more
But what if I told you, what if I showed you
there's something else and you're not alone

Open your eyes
And take a look around
There are angels everywhere
To dry your tears, to tame your fears
And to fly with you far away

Just believe
And the angels will be here
Just believe
And they'll carry you in their wings

Do you feel safe in your anger?
Because that way you can't get hurt
But what if I told you, what if I showed you
That your heart will be fine if you just let go

How long has it been
Since you felt loved and seen?
What if I told you, what if I showed you
That the angels are there if you just believe

Open your eyes
And take a look around
There are angels everywhere
To warm your heart, love you as you are
Embrace you with their wings tonight

Just believe
And the angels will be here
Just believe
And they'll carry you in their wings

Just believe

JUST BELIEVE

You asked for a kiss and I said no
You wouldn't give up and now look at us
You won't compromise, you chickened out
Hey baby that's not how it works

You said you wanted to get on a plane
Cause you couldn't wait to see my face
But when the time comes you're thinking twice
Baby don't worry I have other guys

I know you don't mean bad
But I need a guy who's not so blind
Who's real and there for me,
Who's gonna hold me tight tonight

I know you're cool and all
But I need a little more than words
Either put yourself together
Or I'll move to something better

And that's how it works, it works, it works
That's how it works

THAT’S HOW IT WORKS

Don't you worry about me
I'll be fine on my own
No need to look back
Dive deep into the unknown

Fly fly fly fly away
As far as you can go

The time has come
I need to let you go
Me too, It's time
To spread my wings and just

Fly fly fly fly away
As far as I can go

I know you'll be just fine
Your soul will bloom and glow
The future's beautiful
And starts tomorrow

Fly fly fly fly away
As far as you can go

Time to move on
Go out and see the world
The moment's now
Before the rain comes

Fly fly fly fly away
As far as I can go

Let's say goodbye
We knew this day would come
It's part of life
The joys and sorrows

Fly fly fly fly away
As far as we can go

BUTTERFLY

I hope baby that you enjoyed the show
'cause I won't be around tomorrow
Go find someone else to waste her time
Or stay where you are, I don't give a dime

Now that I'm leaving you suddenly appear
Looking all fearful that I'll disappear
Didn't think of that, when you gave me crap
Now it's my time to be the bad guy

You can kiss the kisses goodbye
Find another girl to fantasize
I'm also a human being
Not just a piece of meat
I hope I never see you around

Go back to your boring life
Back to undress me only in your mind
Without me you're a dead guy
You're never gonna last
But that's your problem now, not mine

There's just one thing that I don't get
Why in the world did I ever care?
A girl like me with someone like you
You must have been all over the moon

Once I told you, you were a good guy
And you called yourself an idiot no doubt
And you know what? You were actually right
And that's the only thing that wasn't a lie

You can kiss the kisses goodbye
Find another girl to fantasize
I'm also a human being
Not just a piece of meat
I hope I never see you around

Go back to your boring life
Back to undress me only in your mind
Without me you're a dead guy
You're never gonna last
But that's your problem now, not mine

KISS THE KISSES GOODBYE

Who said breakups had to be very tough?
Not for me, no
I'm walking with my head up

I may miss you every once in a while
Not too much though
'Cause you're not worthy of my time

Everyday that goes by
Takes me farther away from you
And I can't wait 'till
You are as far away as the sun

Everyday that goes by
It's a day full of hope and light
No matter where I land
You'll be part of the past

I'll be awesome, more than I ever was
The best part is
You won't be part of that

Got girl power, I'm ready to kick ass
Better run and hide
Like the coward you are

Everyday that goes by
Takes me farther away from you
And I can't wait 'till
You are as far away as the sun

Everyday that goes by
It's a day full of hope and light
No matter where I land
You'll be part of the past

EVERYDAY THAT GOES BY
