Strange

I was just a simple boy in search of someone
That I could share a life of simple dreams
Two story home with white picket fences
But life is not as easy as it seems
 
You weren't supposed to be the one I fell for
And I don't know what it is you see in me
My world is now extremely complicated
And I guess that's just the way it has to be
 
How did our lives get so strange?
How in the world will we cope with all the change?
What do we have to rearrange?
How did our lives get so strange?
 
I don't belong around your social circles
And you certainly aren't comfortable in mine
We go together like oil and water
But if opposites attract then we're fine
 
Let's make our own destiny
And together, you and me
We'll bend the world to fit to our desire
It don't matter what they say
Because I love you anyway
And our differences will only fuel the fire

Moving On

You were the one
And I knew from the start
I'd find a way
If I followed my heart
I was lost
When I looked into your eyes
I fell in love
So imagine my surprise
 
You told me you loved me
Then walked on out the door
You trampled my heart
And you left it on the floor
It hit me so hard
That I can barely stand
Now I'm doing the only thing I can
 
(chorus)
I'm moving on
But I'm leaving part of me behind
My trust and my innocence
They'll be left for someone else to find
Gonna chain up my heart
Can't afford to be kind
I'm moving on
If I can just get you out of my mind
 
I used to be
Such a boy among men
You'd come around
And you'd toy with me again
You promised me
Things too good to be true
But I believed
Every word that came from you
 
You know what you are
And you know what you've done
You made me believe
That I was the only one
You told me not to trust you
But I did it anyway
Now there's only one thing left for me to say
 
chorus
 
instrumental break - 16 measures
 
I guess I should thank you
For making me this way
Today I'm much smarter
Than I was yesterday
Cause now I know better
Than to believe the lies
The next time I fall into a pair of eyes
 
chorus

Keep On Reaching

The road is long and winding
And you don't know where it leads
But it's better than the place you're coming from
At the end of the rainbow
You'll find everything you need
Heaven only knows what dreams will come
Let your heartbeat be the beating of the drum
 
Keep on reaching for a star
And stay true to who you are
Don't you know that your time is coming soon
Give yourself a second chance
And don't be afraid to dance
Before too long the radio is gonna be
Playing your tune
 
Your happily ever after
Wasn't quite the way you planned
But your story still has chapters left to write
Just know that I have faith in you
And I'll always be your friend
So any time there's battles you must fight
Just call and I'll be right there by your side
 
Don't give up and don't give in
The power you need is there within
You're stronger now than you have ever been
