DOKKEN LYRICS

1. Standing On The Outside

You knew there'd be consequences,
when I gave you the keys to my heart.
You knew that I had intentions,
and you knew it right from the start.

Give me one more day.
I'll give ya reason to stay
I wanna make you see, but you don't listen to me.
I'm trying to find a way.

I feel you inside, while I'm standing on the outside
I feel you inside, while I'm standing on the outside
Standing on the outside
Looking in.

I gave what you said you needed.
Then you called me and asked for more.
I'm sinkin down so deep, but I just can't reach,
Tell me what I'm fighting for.
I'm feeling upside down.
Headed for the ground.
If you could only see, it should be you and me
flying at the speed of sound.

I feel you inside, while I'm standing on the outside
I feel you inside, while I'm standing on the outside
Standing on the outside
Looking in.

I feel you inside, while I'm standing on the outside
I feel you inside, while I'm standing on the outside
I feel you inside, while I'm standing on the outside
Standing on the outside
Looking in.

2. Give Me A Reason

I've had enough
Livin' on the outside
It's harder every day
I feel I'm fallin'
Into the emptiness
I'm tired of livin' in pain

I stand in this lonely place
I try to survive

Give me a reason
To say I love you
Give me a reason
To show I care
Give me a reason
To keep on lovin' you
Give me a reason

Wasted days and nights
Fallen from your lips
Bleedin' through my every vein
You know it's hard enough
Tryin' to survive
You seem to think it's a game
A poison arrow
Straight through my heart
You know your aim was so true
I feel I'm fallin'
Into the emptiness
There's nothing more I can do

I stand in this lonely place
You know it's hard to survive

Give me a reason
To say I love you
Give me a reason
To show I care
Give me a reason
To keep on lovin' you
Give me a reason

3. Heart To Stone

I can't see your face anymore
through our broken past
I can't feel your pain anymore
I am free at last

this love is lost like a distant sun
in an endless sea
I tried to spread my wings and fly
nothing's left of me

I can't feel this love anymore
you turned a heart to stone
I can't feel this pain anymore
you turned a heart to stone

I can't feel your touch anymore
though you're next to me
can't taste the tears anymore
fit of misery

our day is lost like a setting sun
that's all right by me
I gave my soul and you won't give it back
what do you want from me

I can't feel this love anymore
you turned a heart to stone
I can't feel this pain anymore
you turned a heart to stone

I just can't believe
that I'm feeling this way
I finally see
this love just can't be saved

[solo]

I can't feel this love anymore
you turned a heart to stone
I can't feel this pain anymore
you turned a heart to stone
I can't feel this love anymore
you turned a heart to stone
I can't feel this pain anymore
you turned a heart to stone

you turn (you turn)
the heart to stone (the heart to stone)
you turn (you turn)
the heart to stone
you turn a heart...
you turn the heart to stone

4. Disease

You never saw me comin'
With your naive eyes
You're the right kind of spirit
With the right kind of time
Now you don't pay attention
We get off with a bang
Your reckless obsession
Washed away all your shine

I'm you disease

You embrace my infection
When I cross your lips
You pretend not to notice
When I tighten my grip
I'm your brand-new monkey
On your back if you please
Gonna show you no mercy
When I feed your disease

I'm your disease

I could never ignore you
Any time that we meet
No sign of it slowin'
When you're dead on your feet
I'm your brand-new monkey
On your back if you please
Gonna show you no mercy
When I feed your disease

I'm your disease

5. How I Miss Your Smile

Thinkin' 'bout the days spent with you
All The Things that we used to do
Memories of simple things revolve around you
Visions in my mind keep coming through
It Wasn't you and i've known for awhile

How I Miss Your Smile

Funny how this all came to be
Miscommunication it seems
Looking back I realize the truth
I wish that i had listened to you

It' the simple things that change in our lives
Maybe someday I'll get it right

How I miss your smile

This foolish heart is broken there's no cure
And this lonliness is all that I have
We can't take it back the words that we said
Without regrets

Baby I admit that I lied
No Excuse for makin' you cry
I keep starin' at your picture every day
Please forgive me is all I have to say

How I miss your smile

6. Oasis

Sometimes long roads
We must travel on
It's not easy
When we walk alone
Always searchin'
To see the sun
Then your bright eyes
Bring me back home

Sometimes it's hard to see the sky
Now I know the reason why
You are my oasis
My calm within the storm
You are my oasis
Always leading me back home
When I miss you
Into the day
One more reason
To keep the faith
Give me patience
Waiting for you
Till that moment
I'll be there for you

You are my oasis
My calm within the storm
You are my oasis
Always leading me back home

7. Point Of No Return

Lost in a world that only criticizes all of my sins
Who are they to say they understand
The way that I've had to live
There was a day that we could live or die upon the sword
Of all the words we've spoken
Such a tragedy to everyone and so much more

I need to know
Are we livin' in a picture show
That these feelings that we feel are black and white

I feel that I'm comin' to the point of no return
The pyre that will show us the way
The point of no return
The vision that releases all our pain

Cast down your promises
The revolutions that I should believe
As you touch the tender face of innocence
Not mutually agreed
Send me conviction promise that all the words you say
Come from the other side
Written down only yesterday

I need to know
Are we livin' in a picture show
That these feelings that we feel are black and white

I feel that I'm comin' to the point of no return
The pyre that will show us the way
The point of no return
The vision that releases all our pain

Save me give back my soul
Hopeless world guess that I'll never know
So long into the abyss
I give myself into the point

The point of no return
The pyre that will show us the way
The point of no return
The vision that releases all our pain

8. I Remember

There was a time when our hearts were one
Almost lost you somewhere in the storm
Wings of passion cold and hard to bear
I remember you were standin' there

As we look to the sky
Watching love pass us by
One more time we try to catch a ride
In our hearts there is a dream
Sometimes lost so it seems
Don't let love pass us by this time

I remember the tears of joy we shared
In the darkness when I held you oh so near
Like a dream I have lost you with the dawn
In the fields standing there alone
Searching for home

As we look to the sky
Watching love pass us by
One more time we try to catch a ride
In our hearts there is a dream
Sometimes lost so it seems
Don't let love pass us by this time

Searching for love
Sometimes so hard to see
Searching for love
Sometimes lost in our dreams

As we look to the sky
Watching love pass us by
One more time we try to catch a ride
In our hearts there is a dream
Sometimes lost so it seems
Don't let love pass us by this time

9. Judgement Day

Say a prayer, for the day, that you first began
all the lies, broken truth, they don't understand
mesmerized by the world if they only knew
you kept your soul in a place that was safe for you

what will you say
when the angels come for you
what will you say
on judgement day

don't want to live without you
you are my world, you are my life
don't wanna be without you
on judegment day

touch your heart, take it out, so they all can see
now exposed to the fate of your misery
I'll sedate all the fears that you say are true
now exposed to the ones that don't care for you

what will you say
when the angels come for you
what will you say
on judgement day

don't want to live without you
you are my world, you are my life
don't wanna be without you
on judgement day

[solo]

what will you say
when the angels come for you
what will you say
on judgement day

don't want to live without you
you are my world, you are my life
don't wanna be without you
on judgement day
don't want to live without you
you are my world, you are my life
don't wanna be without you
on judgement day

[end solo]

10. It Means

I've been wasting away
Waiting for you, you
All the things that you say but never do, you
Gotta stay away from the light
Gotta save what's left of my life
Even if it means without you

I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me
I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me

How can this love prevail so hard to tell it's been surreal
Still it's hard to let go after the show
Gotta save what's left of my life
Gotta save what's left of my life

I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me
I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me

I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me
I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me

Gotta stay away from the light
Gotta save what's left of my life
Even if it means without you
Even if it means without you
It means when I'm without you

11. Release Me

How did I get to this place
My indecision put me in this hole
Deep down walking with the dead
No resurrection it's too late

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

Shadows wrapped around my soul
Taken all my feelings
Now they're left out in the cold
So high that mountain I must climb
I hope I make it while there's time

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

There's no more wishin' wells or fairy tales
Those days are over now
And in the dark where there's no light
It's hard to fight what you can't see

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

How did I get to this place
My insurrection put me in this hole
Deep down walking with the dead
No resurrection it's too late

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

12. This Fire

On and on we go again
There seems no point of view
Over under upside down
I don't know what to do
There used to be passion
Don't know when it slipped away
I look around at everyone
It happens every day
I need to get off this spinnin' merry-go-round
I'm upside down

No sense in talkin' till the morning comes
I need to feel it once again

This fire is dyin'
I can't feel it burnin' inside anymore
This fire is dyin'
I can't feel the passion that we had before
Anymore

Contradiction, trepidation, different points of view
Sitting in a place I said I'd never go with you
Given half a chance I guess I'd throw it all away
My opinion doesn't matter when there's shades of gray
I need to know what you're lookin' fore

No sense in talkin' till the morning comes
I need to feel it once again

This fire is dyin'
I can't feel it burnin' inside anymore
This fire is dyin'
I can't feel the passion that we had before
Anymore

I need the passion to live my life
Live my dreams the way I like
Give no reasons for what I have
I tried to love you
The best I can

This fire is dyin'
I can't feel it burnin' inside anymore
This fire is dyin'
I can't feel the passion that we had before
Anymore
