A Man Like Me (Stewart)
She has come to understand me
And offer me redemption from the secrets in my soul
And lately I have come to be addicted
To the sunshine in her smile
And the way she makes me whole
And now I thank my lucky stars each night
Because they're the only reason I can see
Why a beautiful woman like her
Could love a man like me
I was just a poor man on a journey
Wandering through the mountains
And the valleys of my mind
And when I looked around
She was walking right beside me
Smiling cause she knows what I'm looking for
She's been there before
And so I thank my lucky stars each night
Because they're the only reason I can see
Why a beautiful woman like her
Could ever love a man like me
And you will know her when you see her
She's heaven in disguise
She's got eyes that make me wonder
How on earth an angel from above
Could fall in love with a man like me
In the times when the tide has turned against me
And I'm feeling like a stranger in this world
She tells me all she needs besides the air she breathes
Are the arms of an honest man to hold her
And so I thank my lucky stars each night
Because they're the only reason I can see
Why a beautiful woman like her
Could ever love a man like me
And so I thank my lucky stars each night
Because they're the only reason I can see
Why a beautiful woman like you
Could ever love a man like me

Shine (Stewart)
I tend to spend so much time in the shadows
And, well, often I can't tell the wood from the trees
On the times i've opened up my eyes
The clouds have been blown from my skies
And I feel lifted
Because you shine
Now the heavens are shrouded
And I drift without direction
There's no light to lead me
No guiding star
You're a beacon that I can see
You rescued me in me deepest hour of need
Because you shine
Shine, Shine like a light on me
You illuminate and set me free
Shine down so I can see you shining down on me
I survived the car crash that almost killed the teenage dream
I'm scarred but I've starred in films that never even made the screen
I live with the delusion of a saviour and a has been
And still you say that its you who needs me.
On the times i've opened up my eyes
The clouds have been blown from my skies
And I feel lifted from my knees
Because you shine

The Meaning Of Goodbye (Stewart)
Every moment since you left me
I have wondered
Why the night seems darker?
And the sun doesn't shine as brightly.
I find my mind straying
to a distant destination
to a time when we spent together
when there was you and me.
There's a hole you left inside me
a broken heart ache souvnier.
Filled with memories you left behind
to remind me you were here.
There's no point in holding back these tears
so I won't even try.
Cause now I know the meaning of goodbye.
I have searched my soul 100 times
to find an explanation.
It's always easy to look back,
in the stone cold light of day.
But I confess that I was never much
for romantic conversation.
I never told you
"Baby I love you"
I thought that you already knew.
There's a hole you left inside me
a broken heart ache souvnier.
Filled with memories you left behind
to remind me you were here.
There's no point in holding back these tears
so I won't even try.
Cause now I know the meaning of goodbye.
I held your heart in my hands,
and let it slip right through my fingers.
Please don't remind me of the fool I am.
I tell myself i'll be ok
if I make it through another day.
Since I let you go.
I don't know why.
But now I know the meaning of goodbye.
There's a hole you left inside me
a broken heart ache souvnier.
Filled with memories you left behind
to remind me you were here.
There's no point in holding back these tears
so I won't even try.
Cause now I know the meaning of goodbye
Now I know the Meaning of Goodbye.

She's so misunderstood

She's so misunderstood
She's got eyes like bruises
Lips like a wound
Lipstick make-up lies disguise the child inside
She's got nothing left to lose
Since she gave it all away
Arms like chains wrapped around as she leans into the rain
But if you've ever seen her smile
You'd know there's someone hiding
Behind feelings made of wood
She's so misunderstood
She's been left out in the open
And wouldn't change a single moment - even if she could
She's so misunderstood
It's all over now
She's been all over town
All she can remember
Is the hurt she's found
She's got scars to remind her
of a past that still finds her
Now the walls go up as the pain comes down
But if you've ever seen her smile
You'd know there's someone hiding
Behind feelings made of wood
She's so misunderstood
She's been left out in the open
And wouldn't change a single moment - even if she could
She's so misunderstood
One more lonely moment
Another ghost to haunt her
She's so misunderstood
I'm drawn to her flame
I long to burn beside her
And I don't know her name
But I can see inside
I understand the pain
And i know she won't surrender
If you've ever seen her smile
You'd know there's someone hiding
Behind feelings made of wood
She's so misunderstood
She's been left out in the open
And wouldn't change a single moment - even if she could
She's so misunderstood
One more lonely moment
Is snother ghost to haunt her
She's so misunderstood
So misunderstood
She's so misunderstood

Beautiful Lies (Stewart/ Gundell)
Baby you can fool me
It's not the edge we're on
I'm the one who's falling here
You're already gone
Just don'y say what you really feel
What i'm seeing in your eyes
Beautiful lies
Tell me
Beautiful lies
That i don't understand
'cause i just can't stand holding on
Letting you let go
So I i don't want to know that I mean nothing to you- even if its true
Whisper low and tender
The way you used to do
Then maybe I'll remember the way i felt the too
Just don't say what you really feel
Lets pretend its our surprise
Beautiful eyes
Won't you tell me
Some beautiful lies
That i don't understand
'cause i just can't stand holding on
letting you let go
So I i don't want to know that I mean nothing to you
Even if its true

Gravity (Stewart)
It seems these days I'm feeling disconnected
Six feet from the ground when I let go
Stolen hours of empty time
and weightlessness wreak havoc on my mind
When I'm free-falling
And its so familiar
Can you feel it too?
You all that I can count on to see me through
I'm slowly drifting, gently shifting away from you
I know your gravity will pull me back to you
Street lights throw strange unearthly shadows
An orbit of uncertainty still turns
Infinity won't let me in
And loneliness starts creeping
Am I too far out this time to return
And this seems so familiar
Can you feel it too?
You all that I can count on to see me through
I'm slowly drifting, gently shifting away from you
I know your gravity will pull me back to you
Gravity is spinning me, pulling me
Back to you
Gravity is spinning me, pulling me
I'm staring from a distant constellation
Gravity is spinning me, pulling me
Back to you
When I'm free-falling
Your gravity is spinning me, pulling me
Back to you
When I'm free-falling

All you have to do is let me know (Stewart)
The ocean has nothing on your deep blue eyes
And the sunshine is jealous of your smile
So how could I ignore you
Or the feelings I have for you
I just have to find a way to let you know
This I must confess, 'cause you would never guess
But I fell for you the moment I laid eyes on you
I just have to convince you, and make you believe
That I was meant for you, and you were made for me
And I'll walk a thousand miles to hear you laughing
I just hope there's something I've got to say that'll make you smile
I would give up almost anything to hold you for a while
All you have to do is let me know
Yeah, all you have to do is let me know
Every time I've tried to say it
Words keep getting in the way of it
Its simple, I'm so confused
That I don't know how to tell you that I love you
I can see into the future when I look into your eyes
A hundred million moments from here
Our children will gaze into the skies above
We believe in them because they believe in love
I'll walk a thousand miles to hear you laughing
I just hope there's something I've got to say that'll make you smile
I would give up almost anything to hold you for a while
All you have to do is let me know
Yeah, all you have to do is let me know
I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
I'll stay with you until the bitter end
It's agreed I'll be anything you need
Yeah, all you have to do is let me know
I'll be your lover, I'll be your best friend
I'll stay with you until the bitter end
It's agreed, then, I'll be anything you need, then
All you have to do is let me know

Something we lost along the way (Stewart/ Gundell)
There's an old fashioned song on the jukebox
Playing sadly in three-quarter time
There's a key to the heart and it unlocks
What was always yours and mine
Now its gone from my memory
Fading with every line
You'll never give up
You'll never begin
I can only begin to believe I can reach you with these words
That I can hardly even say
You'll never give in
That was never in doubt
Now its only about not
how much we're in love but what its cost
Something we lost along the way
Now my eyes aren't closed when I kiss you
So I know yours are open as well
I don't have to admit that I miss you
Girl, I know that you can tell
When it's love that we're making
The heart can't be breaking the spell
I'll never give up
I'll never begin
I can only begin to believe I can reach you with these words
That I can hardly even say
You'll never give in
That was never in doubt
Now its only about not
how much we're in love but what its cost
Something we lost along the way
It's something we lost along the way
It's something we lost along the way
It's something we lost along the way
