Dark Side

There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away

Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am

Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
It can become
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am

Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Don't run away

Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay

Will you love me? Ohh
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Belief (Gavin Degraw)

Belief, makes things real.

 Makes things feel, feel alright.

 Belief, makes things true.

 Things like you, you and I.

 

Tonight, you arrested my mind.

 When you came to my defense.

 With a knife in the shape of your mouth,

 in the form of your body, with the wrath of a god.

 Oh, you stood by me, Belief

 

Builds from scratch.

 Doesn't have to relax, it doesn't need space.

 Long live the queen and I'll be the king.

 In the collar of grace.

 

Oh, tonight, you arrested my mind.

 When you came to my defense.

 With a knife in the shape of your mouth,

 in the form of your body, with the wrath of a god.

 Oh, you stood by me, belief.

 

I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops.

 I'll wear a sign on my chest.

 That's the least I can do, it's the least I can do.

 

Tonight, you arrested my mind.

 When you came to my defense.

 With a knife, in the shape of your mouth,

 in the form of your body, with the wrath of a god.

 Oh, you stood by me.

 And I'll stand by my belief.

 

I will stand by mine………….

 

belief...

 

like you stood by me, I wil l stand by mine, stand by my belief...

Trying very hard to

but it's not working.

I made a choice that was supposed to improve my life, to make things better for everyone and all it's done is make me feel more alone than ever. Some of the people I was hoping to spend more time with have pushed me so far away that I no longer even qualify for 5 mins of their time, hell I can't even sit down and have a conversation with them. No wonder they don't know I'm broken inside and that I'm sitting with a year long commitment and no way way to meet it because it looks like my bright idea has just cost me my job. So I'm alone with nobody to talk to and no way of fixing this but what does it matter, I only mean anything  to anyone when they need something from me anyway.

You haven't seen the last of me

Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there's just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I'll get up again
Don't count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me

They can say that
I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me
You don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I'm down now
But I'll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed right past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

No no
I'm not going nowhere
I'm staying right here
Oh no
You won't see me fade out
I'm not taking my bow
Can't stop me
It's not the end
You haven't seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me
