PAPERCUT
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here is not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that I watch every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here in me
Right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside, too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can
But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
And watches everything
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you, too
Right inside your skin
It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin
It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
..................................................................................
IN THE END
It starts with one thing; I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind; I designed this rhyme
To explain, in due time, all I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away; it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watched the time go right out the window
Tried to hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
One thing; I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind; I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised that it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter

RUNAWAY
Graffiti decorations under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension on top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me, I learned were never true
Now I find myself in question, they point the finger at me again
Guilty by association, you point the finger at me again
I want to run away, never say good bye
I want to know the truth instead of wondering why
I want to know the answers, no more lies
I want to shut the door and open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action these words were never true
Now I find myself in question, they point the finger at me again
Guilty by association, you point the finger at me again
I want to run away, never say good bye
I want to know the truth instead of wondering why
I want to know the answers, no more lies
I want to shut the door and open up my mind
I'm going to run away and never say good bye
Going to run away, going to run away
Going to run away, going to run away
I'm going to run away and never wonder why
Going to run away, going to run away
Going to run away, going to run away
I'm going to run away and open up my mind
Going to run away, going to run away, mind
Going to run away, going to run away, mind
Going to run away, going to run away, mind
Going to run away, going to run away
I want to run away, never say good bye
I want to know the truth instead of wondering why
I want to know the answers, no more lies
I want to shut the door and open up my mind
I want to run away and open up my mind
I want to run away and open up my mind
I want to run away and open up my mind
I want to run away and open up my mind

BE MYSELF
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?
Or do I trust none and live life in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves, but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade, but then
I just end up getting hurt again by myself, myself
I ask why but in my mind, I find
I can't rely on myself, myself
I ask why but in my mind, I find
I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I turn my back, I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me until everything is gone
If I let them go, I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them, I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself, myself
I ask why but in my mind, I find
I can't rely on myself, myself
I ask why but in my mind, I find
I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think I've lost so much?
I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do?
When all I know is what you tell me to
Don't you know?
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
Don't you know?
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

A PLACE FOR MY HEAD
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn't give life to the moon
Assuming the moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me
About things that you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
-While I find a place to rest-
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
And now you see how quiet it is, all alone
(2x:)
I'm so ''sick'' of the tension (''ahh?'')
Sick of the hunger (''lalalalala?'')
Sick of you acting like I owe you this (''lalalalala?'')
Find another place, to feed your greed
-While, I find a place to rest-
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, GO AWAY!
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Get away!
I am so sick of the tension (Scream)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this (Scream)
Find another place to feed your greed
-While I find a place to rest-
I'm so sick of the tension (Scream)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this (Scream)
Find another place (''get away'')
To feed your greed (''from me!'')
-While I find a place to rest-

FORGOTTEN
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
We're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
Duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
And nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
Watchin the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes me by
And a young, shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change, the box stays the same
And the figure inside could bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday i'm hopin to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
I'm here at the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What's happening
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
For real, this society's deprivation depends not on our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited aid, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage where rent isn't paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspread like permanent plauge
I'm the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
.............................................................................
SOMEWHERE I BELONG
When this began,
I had nothing to say and
And I'd get lost in the nothing inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find/that I'm
not the only person with these things in mind (inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I got left to feel.(nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own,
and the fault is my own.
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (Erase all the pain til it's gone)
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere/ only to find That it's
not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?)
What do I have but negativity?
'Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me.(
nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own,
and the fault is my own
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long(erase all the pain 'till it's gone.)
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know
myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel,
anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
anything 'til I break away from me
And I will break away,
and find myself today
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (erase all the pain til it's gone)
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong.
I want to heal.
I want to feel like I'm,
Somewhere I belong, Somewhere I belong.

CAROUSEL
she can't hide no matter how hard she tries
her secret disguise behind the lies
and at night she crys away her pride
with eyes shut tight staring at her inside
all her friends know why she can't sleep at night
all her family asks is she alright
all she wants to do is get rid of this hell
well all she's got to do is stop kiddin herself
she can only fool herself for so long [x3]
I,m too weak to face me
(she can only fool herself)
[chorus]
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me [x2]
when it comes to how to live his life and can't be told
says he got it all under control
thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with
but in reality it would be a problem to just quit
an addict and he can't hold the reins
the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
trys to slow down the problem he's got
but can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
he can only fool himself for so long [x3]
I'm too weak to face me
(he can only fool himself)
[chorus x2]
Try to fly with the wings I gave you,
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you [x2]
[chorus x2]

stay here tonight
I know it's late and you're tired
And we'd been talking for hours here
You don't have to tell me
I see that look in your eyes
And I know soon we'll say our goodbyes oh yeah
I feel it coming
And I hear you take a deep breath
And my hands are starting to sweat
I don't want you to
I don't want you to leave yeah
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, oh, no
I need you, I need you
You grab your coat and I'm dying
But I know you're still deciding, yeah
'cause nobody's moving
Time stops and everything's quiet
I'm begging on for my life in you
You don't even see it
And then you come in closer
And baby it's not over
Till I hear you say, till I hear you say
Goodnight oh yeah
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, oh, no
I need you, I need you
Something about you saying is not
Something about you makes me feel like I'm nobody
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, oh, no
I need you, I need you
Stay with me tonight (stay with me tonight)
Stay.. [fade out]

sweet isabel
The autumn leaves are falling,
Like tears from her eyes,
There's no reason recalling,
The pain you felt inside,
And I know you're feeling like,
You should run away, run away,
And I know you're wondering,
Oh why you should stay,
Why you should stay
Oh Sweet, sweet Isabel,
Just believe it will be alright,
Sweet, sweet Isabel,
No, you don't have to leave tonight
You feel that change is coming,
But you're so afraid inside,
I know your hearts been broken,
Oh way too many times,
And i know you're feeling like,
You should run away, run away
Oh Sweet, sweet Isabel,
Just believe it will be alright,
Sweet, sweet Isabel,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
You don't have to leave tonight,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
Nooo, no you don't
Oh Sweet, sweet Isabel,
Just believe it will be alright,

I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

A PLACE FOR MY HEAD
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn't give life to the moon
Assuming the moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me
About things that you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
-While I find a place to rest-
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
And now you see how quiet it is, all alone
(2x:)
I'm so ''sick'' of the tension (''ahh?'')
Sick of the hunger (''lalalalala?'')
Sick of you acting like I owe you this (''lalalalala?'')
Find another place, to feed your greed
-While, I find a place to rest-
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, go away!
YOU try to take the best of me, GO AWAY!
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Get away!
I am so sick of the tension (Scream)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this (Scream)
Find another place to feed your greed
-While I find a place to rest-
I'm so sick of the tension (Scream)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this (Scream)
Find another place (''get away'')
To feed your greed (''from me!'')
-While I find a place to rest-

FORGOTTEN
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
We're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
Duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
And nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
Watchin the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes me by
And a young, shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change, the box stays the same
And the figure inside could bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday i'm hopin to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
I'm here at the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What's happening
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
For real, this society's deprivation depends not on our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited aid, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage where rent isn't paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspread like permanent plauge
I'm the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

SOMEWHERE I BELONG
When this began,
I had nothing to say and
And I'd get lost in the nothing inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find/that I'm
not the only person with these things in mind (inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I got left to feel.(nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own,
and the fault is my own.
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (Erase all the pain til it's gone)
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere/ only to find That it's
not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?)
What do I have but negativity?
'Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me.(
nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own,
and the fault is my own
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long(erase all the pain 'till it's gone.)
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know
myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel,
anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
anything 'til I break away from me
And I will break away,
and find myself today
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (erase all the pain til it's gone)
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong.
I want to heal.
I want to feel like I'm,
Somewhere I belong, Somewhere I belong.

CAROUSEL
she can't hide no matter how hard she tries
her secret disguise behind the lies
and at night she crys away her pride
with eyes shut tight staring at her inside
all her friends know why she can't sleep at night
all her family asks is she alright
all she wants to do is get rid of this hell
well all she's got to do is stop kiddin herself
she can only fool herself for so long [x3]
I,m too weak to face me
(she can only fool herself)
[chorus]
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me [x2]
when it comes to how to live his life and can't be told
says he got it all under control
thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with
but in reality it would be a problem to just quit
an addict and he can't hold the reins
the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
trys to slow down the problem he's got
but can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
he can only fool himself for so long [x3]
I'm too weak to face me
(he can only fool himself)
[chorus x2]
Try to fly with the wings I gave you,
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you [x2]
[chorus x2]

stay here tonight
I know it's late and you're tired
And we'd been talking for hours here
You don't have to tell me
I see that look in your eyes
And I know soon we'll say our goodbyes oh yeah
I feel it coming
And I hear you take a deep breath
And my hands are starting to sweat
I don't want you to
I don't want you to leave yeah
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, oh, no
I need you, I need you
You grab your coat and I'm dying
But I know you're still deciding, yeah
'cause nobody's moving
Time stops and everything's quiet
I'm begging on for my life in you
You don't even see it
And then you come in closer
And baby it's not over
Till I hear you say, till I hear you say
Goodnight oh yeah
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, oh, no
I need you, I need you
Something about you saying is not
Something about you makes me feel like I'm nobody
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, oh, no
I need you, I need you
Stay with me tonight (stay with me tonight)
Stay.. [fade out]

sweet isabel
The autumn leaves are falling,
Like tears from her eyes,
There's no reason recalling,
The pain you felt inside,
And I know you're feeling like,
You should run away, run away,
And I know you're wondering,
Oh why you should stay,
Why you should stay
Oh Sweet, sweet Isabel,
Just believe it will be alright,
Sweet, sweet Isabel,
No, you don't have to leave tonight
You feel that change is coming,
But you're so afraid inside,
I know your hearts been broken,
Oh way too many times,
And i know you're feeling like,
You should run away, run away
Oh Sweet, sweet Isabel,
Just believe it will be alright,
Sweet, sweet Isabel,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
You don't have to leave tonight,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
No, you don't have to leave tonight,
Nooo, no you don't
Oh Sweet, sweet Isabel,
Just believe it will be alright,
Sweet, sweet Isabel,
No, you don't have to leave tonight
The autumn leaves are falling,
Like tears from her eyes,
There's no reason recalling,
The pain you felt inside.
