Speak in Lyrics

[Gemme]

Chains

Your arms are warm but they make me feel
As if they're made of cold, cold steel
A simple kiss like a turnin' key
A little click and the lock's on me
Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands
I won't admit to where I am
But I know baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains

I pretend I can always leave
Free to go whenever I please
But then the sound of my desperate calls
Echo off these dungeon walls
I've crossed the line from mad to sane
A thousand times and back again
I love you baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains

Should have known passing through the gate
That once inside I could not escape
I never thought this could happen to me
Never thought this is where I'd be
But baby, baby, baby, look at me
Baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I never thought this is where I'd be
Never thought this could happen to me


No Shame

It took me twenty years to stand up straight and tall
It took me all of twenty seconds for everything to fall
I don't worry about my pride anymore
'Cause pride is something, I just can't afford

I'd go beggin' in the rain
If I could spare you any pain
When it comes to you, I have no shame
No shame, no shame

There's no life by your side, I wouldn't live
There's no sin you could commit that I would not forgive
I don't try to understand anymore
'Cause I just know my world begins at your door

If I could keep you from the cold
If I could make your tears my own
I'd do anything, I have no shame

No shame - for the first time in my life
No shame - to get it right for you I wouldn't think twice
No shame - nothin' I won't sacrifice
There's nothing I won't do baby
To get you through the night

Fallin', fallin'
I'll be there to reach you baby
To catch you when you're cryin'
I'll be callin', I'll be callin'
With a love for you that no name
I have no shame

I'd go beggin' in the rain
If I could spare you any pain
When it comes to you, I have no shame

No shame - for the first time in my life
No shame - to get it right for you I wouldn't think twice
No shame - nothin' I won't sacrifice
There's nothing I won't do baby
To get you through the night


Sixteen Years

I'm leaving now
Sixteen years and comes to this
Parting lines and a final kiss
Your hands are shaking
A cab waits in the rain
Now I've never felt more alone

I can't believe that these days are gone
After all that we've begun
You say you'll be there
I just have to call
Must you choose between
Me and all your dreams
When you can be free right here with me

Those sixteen years
Don't they mean anything to you
How can you leave
With so much to lose
When you walk away
You're taking the morning from my day

Show me the pain
That's inside of you
I need to understand

Sixteen years now, my thoughts run wild
How you held me like a child
I'll fight these tears
But I can hide the way I feel
When you find what you want
Isn't it all you need
When you wanna run right back to me

Those sixteen years
Don't they mean anything to you
How can you leave
There's so much to lose
Oh, when you walk away
You're taking the morning from my day
Show me the pain that's inside of you

Time moves on
And you'll be gone
And I hold on to the finer things
I need to keep me strong
But one sweet day
We'll put them all away
I'll hope you know that no one stays the same

Those sixteen years
Don't they mean anything to you
How can you leave
There's so much to lose
Yeah
When you walk away
You're taking the morning from my day

Show me the pain that's inside of you
I need to understand
Someday you'll understand
Yes you will


Show Me Heaven

There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey babe
Come over here and shut them tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand
Don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please

Here I go
I'm shaking just like the breeze
Hey babe
I need your head to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened a much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine, and it feels divine
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please

Do you know what it's like to dream a dream
Baby hold me tight and let this be
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please


If I Was a River

If I was the sun
I would shine my light
To light your world
If I was the rain
I would wash your tears away
I keep your world right
Be your light in the night
If I was the sky
I would rain down love into your life

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I
If I was a river

If I was the wind
I would carry you
Above the clouds
And if I was the earth
I would be your solid ground
If I could I'll be
All you ever would need
I would be your world
You're the only world there is for me

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I
If I was a river

I'll run into your arms
Into your arms
Oh yeah
I'll run to you baby
Oh yeah

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I
If I was a river
