Daughtry – Traffic Light

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:47:30 +0000

The traffic light
Waits for you to tell me the tale of a shattered life, tonight
And I just passed by when you have had the chance to fight
Or would you spend your last days alone
Thinkin nobody would have cared
or known just look me in the eye and see that its a light
So you’re telling me, this is how you’re going down
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Well you are way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how Id never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
What I left behind, what I left behind
Need a change
In a minute of my time did I get your name?
Well you say, that I haven’t been asked that in years
Now I think, the traffic light that stood in the way
So that I can hear what you had to say
I’m half way through your story
Cant help thinking that you’re just like me

This is how I’m going down
I thought that they never really wanted me around
Well I was way off track to think like that
Coz now I’m taken back, everything that I ever said
bout how they’d never want to see me again
Well this is what I, what I left behind

Forgetting about ourselves
Is like history that dust is covering left on the self, on the self
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say

Yeah, this is how you’re going down
You thought I’d never really wanted you around
Well you were way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how I never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
This is how you’re going down
This is what I, what I left behind

Daughtry – One Last Chance

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:47:02 +0000

Tell me what you need and I will find a way to stop the bleeding;
No, don’t add to my mistakes.
Tell me you’re not leaving and I’ll tell you everything you need to know.
Don’t throw it all away, don’t say my words are just too late.

I don’t want to be left behind, I’ve been so blind to all that I have broken.
Can we put this back together?
No more empty promises, they don’t exist; just me out in the open.
I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?

You say the story’s ending but I think it’s time we stop pretending;
No, can’t let you turn the page.
Does your heart remember when we used to say forever, don’t let go.
Don’t throw it all away; don’t say these words are just too late.

Give me one last chance to make it right,
A last chance to make it right
A last chance to make it right
No more empty promises, they don’t exist; just me out in the open.
I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?

Daughtry – Get Me Through

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:46:36 +0000

Cry out all who care to know
I’ve been hollow way too long
I know where I’m going wrong
There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…

Color blind I paint your blue sky grey
But this time you’ll shed some light on me
Just before I fade away
There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…

All the chances that you’re takin’
The promises that I keep breaking down
Writings on the wall
Can’t make out all the letters
But I know it’s getting better now
The writings on the wall

Get me through…

There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…

Daughtry – On The Inside

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:46:00 +0000

[Verse 1:]
Your life is like a crack in the mirror
7 years of bad luck it aint getting better now
Not till all is said and done
Reflection in the window is the same old face
Background small town everywhere you look around
Tell me what you’re runnin from

Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but its tails

[Chorus:]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you’re sure you wont be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can pretend it’ll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside

Still you on the inside…

[Verse 2:]
Nothin faster than the speed of your leavin
A hundred miles an hour and there aint no slowin down
But you cant outrun yourself
Hey you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck
But now you’re skipping like a broken record goin round
You’re the last to ask for help

You flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but its tails

[Chorus:]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you’re sure you wont be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can’t pretend it’ll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside

Still you on the inside

[Bridge:]
Its never really been a question of how far
And at the end of every destination there you are

[Ending Chorus:]
You can move to another town
Hide where you’re sure you won’t be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can pretend it will be alright
No matter how you sell it
When you tell it its a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside (You can go and change and to me you’ll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (You can try and run and know you’ll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside (You can go and change and to me you’ll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (You can try and run and know you’ll always be the same inside)
Still love you on the inside.

Daughtry – What Have We Become

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:45:33 +0000

All those years
One day changes everything, and
Gone and your life and the passion fades away
Saving for something
That you’ll never see in your days
Shutting out everything that you need

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for “ever after”
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Giving in or leaving this now
Now we have what we have become
All the tears
We never thought we’d see the day when
The trappings of your life would seem to disappear
Goin through the vacancy you leave behind
Not what you have promised,
Not what you believed

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for “ever after”
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters
Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away
Now we have what we have become
Now you fight to ease your pain
Now you know it’s not the way out
Now you know it’s not the way out
Not the way out

Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters
Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away
Now we have what we have become

Daughtry – Long Way

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:45:04 +0000

Dusty roads
Hopeless nights
Looking at.. blinding lights
Saw your ghost here tonight
It lingers on and I feel your life
Pulling me back to the place
But the thought of staring back at you is more than I can face
And its a long way down
From where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land.
And its a long way down..
To you

Dusty roads,
Hopeless nights..
Looking at blinding lights
Saw your ghost,
Its alive.
It lingers on, feel your life.
Pulling me back to the place…
But the thought of staring back at you was more than I could face

And it’s a long way now,
From where I used to rest my head
And it’s safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land
It’s a long way down to you..
To you
To you
To you…

Saw your ghost..
It’s alive.
Lingers on, I feel your life..

And it’s a long way now
To where I used to rest my head
And it’s safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
And It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down
To where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
And it’s a long way down to you…

Daughtry – Call Your Name

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:44:35 +0000

You never said, you never said, you never said
That it would be this hard
Love is meant to be forever, now or never seems to discard
There’s gotta be a better way for me to say
What’s on my heart without leaving scars?
Can you hear me when I call your name?

And when you fall apart
Am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There’s so much to be said and with a broken heart
You walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?

Complicated situations are the makings of all that’s wrong
And I’ve been standing in the river of deliverance way too long
There’s gotta be a better way for me to say
What’s on my heart without leaving scars?
Can you hear me when I call your name?
So, can you hear me when I call your name?

And when you fall apart
Am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There’s so much to be said and with a broken heart
You walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?

Daughtry – Tennesse

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:44:12 +0000

I open my lungs to breathe in forgiveness and love
Haunting me now reminders of how I used to be
And on down the road my troubles are sure to follow
Looking out the window, the hell if know where I will go
So I’ll just keep on driving

On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away
I’ve sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I’ve learned?
So this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my, well it’s my heart I’ll follow this time

Who would’ve known that pride is so hard to swallow
As I rest on the shoulder of a road growing colder
With the trouble I own, should I just keep on driving?

I know I must be doing something
Head the other way, back to where I started out
Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight
And stop living with doubt

I’m gonna turn it all around tonight at the Tennessee line

Daughtry – Supernatural

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:43:44 +0000

Lost from the start, I might as well be on the moon
Much colder than I thought even in the month of June
No communication makes ya feel so alone
All we need is patience in which I’ve never really known

But now it’s too late, it’s taking over me
It feels so supernatural and I’m pulled the other way
It’s more than I can take and I’m losing hold of everything
And no matter how I try you know I can’t deny
‘Cause you feel so supernatural

Every step I’ve taken has led me here to where you are
But all that I believe in is keeping me from seeing too far
Throwing out the questions, waiting for the right reply
Looking for the answers, tell me will it be tonight?

But now it’s too late, it’s taking over me
It feels so supernatural and I’m pulled the other way
It’s more than I can take and I’m losing hold of everything
When it’s more than physical it’s kind of hard to see beyond the glow
And no matter how I try you know I can’t deny
‘Cause you feel so supernatural

Through the atmosphere I’m seeing
Glimpses of the past I’m leaving
Holding on for life as we collide

Daughtry – Learn My Lesson

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:43:13 +0000

Tonight the sunset means so much
The one thing that you know you’ll never touch
Like the feeling, the real thing
I reach out for that sweet dream

But somehow the darkness wakes me up
I’ve felt this emptiness before
But all the times that I’ve been broken
I still run right back for more

You’d think that I’d learn my lesson by now
You’d think that I’d somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You’re bound to feel the flame

You think that I’d learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven’t learned a thing

Sometimes I think I’m better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
And give up the longing, believing in belonging
Just hold down my head and take the loss

You’d think that I’d learn my lesson by now
You’d think that I’d somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You’re bound to feel the flame

You’d think that I’d learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven’t learned a thing
