WHAT A MESS YOU MADE
(McCarty/Watts)

Ooo – baby, what a heart of stone -

You tease ’em & leave ‘em all alone –

You like to think their hearts will never be free –

And you do it so comfortably –

___________________________

You steal a life… you break a heart –

You like to watch it all fall apart –

Enjoy the drama… you love the game –

Not win or lose, but where you place the blame -

___________________________

(Chorus)

Another back, another knife -

She’ll stab, and stab, ‘til you can’t survive –

Don’t let her fool you, she’ll hide the blade -

Ooo – baby, what a mess you made -________________________________________________

All those memories we made will fade –

Walls will fall, where the stones were laid -

You’ll just be one more mistake I made –

One more party I overstayed -

(Repeat Chorus w/) She’ll stab & stab ‘til she gets it right -

(Bridge)

It’s not all about you – There’re other people here too –

It’s a beautiful world –

________________________________________________

You’ve never, ever even had a clue –

You’re so afraid someone else’ll hurt you –

You can’t really love while you’re afraid –

(Chorus out w/) It’s a beautiful world –

HARD ENOUGH

Hard Enough

(McCarty)

I heard what you’ve been sayin’,

Yeah, I got the call –

And I know who’ve you’ve been seein’,

Now I’ve seen it all –

Nobody cares if you’re lyin’

You’re the one who takes the fall –

You think you fool everybody ---

Baby, you don’t fool anybody at all –

You always get what you want,

You don’t care how.

You want it all when you want it,

And you want it now –

Nobody cares how you get it,

You’re the one who takes the fall –

You think you fool everybody,

Baby, you don’t fool anybody at all –

When it all comes crashin’ down around you,

When you feel you’re all alone –

I’m not the one that made it hard on ya darlin’ –

Life is hard enough on it’s own –

You’re still young, and ya know how to use it –

(It doesn’t mean your dreams come true)

One of these days, I know you don’t believe it ---

You’re gonna find out --- it’s not all about you –

Is this what you’re all about? Looks & wealth?

Who are you ever gonna trust --- when you can’t trust yourself?

Nobody cares if you’re lyin’ –

The universe won’t fall apart –

You think you fool everybody ---

Baby --- you’re not that smart –

When it all comes crashin’ down around you,

When you feel you’re all alone –

I’m not the one that made it hard on ya darlin’ –

Life is hard enough on it’s own –

Life is hard enough ---

I'm Over You

McCarty/Watts

I know you’re worried ‘bout the other night –

I was worried too, but now it’s all right –

You went a little crazy, baby, that’s what you do…

Now I’m Over You –

Don’t think twice about the things you said –

You impressed everyone… at least in your head –

You’re crazy, that’s OK… I’m crazy too…

And I’m Over You –

I’d like to have a fairytale romance come true –

Who wouldn’t love to have somebody love you?

But you can’t have it all and act like you do…

I’m Over You –

Don’t give another thought to things you’ve done –

Everybody loves you, you’re always so much fun – Looking for answers and you don’t have a clue…

That I’m Over You –

I know you love to have everybody look at you –

You crave attention… it’s all a dream come true –

Well, you can’t have it all and act like you do…

I’m Over You –

I’m Over You -

I SAY - YOU SAY

(Things Will Get Better)

McCarty/Watts

I know sometimes the road is long –

And it’s not fun…

Trying to fix the things you’ve left undone –

---------

That’s when you realize you’re strong –

When you go through fire…

The other side is brighter - reaching higher –

---------

(B Section #1)

You can always sit around and wait –

But as long as you begin, it’s never too late –

---------

(Chorus)

I say – You say – Things will get better –

I say – You say – Things will be fine –

(1^st & 3^rd time)

You know we’re all just trying to survive –

I Say – You Say –

Things will get better – Things will get better –

(2^nd Time)

We’re only human, just trying to get by –

I Say – You Say – Things will get better – Things will get better –

---------

People lose their homes and lose their minds –

Long as you’re alive…

Something good can come your way – help you get by –

---------

We should help each other through bad times –

‘cause you never know…

the love you give today could return tomorrow –

(B Section #2)

You can always sit around and cry –

But since you’re here you may as well give it a try –

---------

(Repeat Chorus)

(Solo Over Verse)

(B section #1)

(Chorus)

Things will get better – Things will get better –

Things will get better

OLD FRIEND

(For Celest)

McCarty

Our friend – Our old friend –

You left us here – waiting at the end –

Just when the journey…is about to begin –

You’re leaving us behind…old friend –

Some souls are lucky – they’ll have you now –

What we have lost – they have found –

Life is hard – I hear there’s a plan –

I guess one day, we’ll all understand –

But ‘til that day – you’re with us too –

And we’ll all try and stay…as strong as you –

On that day, we meet again – that lovely day we meet again –

We’ll see your warm loving smile…old friend –

Your beautiful soul…old friend –

Doesn’t matter why – doesn’t matter when –

Can’t matter now – won’t matter then –

Always together…never alone –

When we’re finished here, we’re all going home

And we’ll see you then…old friend –

Yes, we’ll all see you again…old friend -

WAKE UP

(It's Here)

McCarty

Sometimes I’m asleep –

I can’t always tell you when -

But I know time’s been here,

that will never come again –

Too tired to notice – Too far-gone to care –

Another moment, here and lost,

and I wasn’t even there –

There are angels - there are demons -

and if you don’t stay awake…

it can be hard to tell which advice

to ignore -- or which to take –

There’s a path that leads out of the cities…

the villages and towns –

Far past the things that we collect…

beyond the sacred ground –

Wake up – Shake your head –

Wipe away the tears and fear -

Wake up – Something’s happening…

It may not be too clear – but,

Before you miss another chance –

Before you disappear –

Wake up, your next moment

Is here –

You can bury them, or burn them –

scatter them at sea –

Ashes to ashes -

What will be, will be, will be ---- but

When it’s over, it’s not over –

Not ‘til the lady sings her song –

Sometimes she sings too quickly…

sometimes she takes so long-

Wake up – Shake your head –

Wipe away the tears and fear -

Wake up – Something’s happening…

It may not be too clear – but,

Before you make another mistake –

Before you disappear –

Wake up, your next moment

Is here –

(Solo)

Before you miss another chance –

Before you disappear –

Wake up, your next moment

Is here -
