HARTMANN LYRICS

1. All My Life

When I opened up my eyes
I knew that something's gonna happen today
It felt so different than before
All my worries blown away, away

Like earth and time were standing still
Although I know it never will
Now it's time to realize - to come alive

I cannot stop, I can't slow down
No, I don't want to turn around this time
I've been waiting for this all my life
And I have never been so far
Though I was close I never touched the stars
But I was reaching out for all my life

So many chances passing by
Thinking about what is wrong and right
And now I'm really wondering why
Why the hell is took so long to decide

Whatever comes and goes - we'll see
What remains is you and me
The time is now to take the spark
And light up the dark

2. Like A River

She cries at night trying to let it go
The pain inside it will always show
Apologies are all in vain
And the tears keep falling cause
All the same

One day her time - it will come

Like a river she flows
And hey, here she goes
The end of the show, she's waving
To all your beautiful lies
Like a river

She'll make it right and the end will show
She's gonna take over cause it's her way to go
Yesterday's dreams are all in vain
And the rain keeps falling on her window pane

One day her song will be sung

Oh, oh, here she goes
Here she's coming, keeps on running around
Oh, oh, river flows
Times are changing, river's flowing down

3. You Are The One

Out of reach and out of sight
Running down the streets tonight
And our heds won't turn around
Can you hear the speed of sound
Just believe in me, don't fear to take my hand
You and me are here, this moment's right
We won't get another chance

'Cause you are the one
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
For you - that's true
And I can't go on and on and on
Without telling you that you belong to me
'Cause you are the one

We won't stop to run tonight
Faster than the speed of light
Look inside my heart and you will understand
Why we are here 'cause the time is right
We won't get another chance

Whatever you want me to do for you
Whenever you'll need me - I will be there

4. Fool For You

When I close my eyes
I see your face still smiling at me
It's hard to understand
But there's nothing else I see
These words you said to me
Have the sweetest sound
Maybe you're no good for me
But it's too late to turn around

No, I cannot turn my eyes from you
No chance to resist - there's nothing I can do

Maybe I'm crazy
But I can't deny I'm a fool for you
And it could be that lately
I'm not the same I used to be
'Cause I'm a fool for you

No matter how I try
I just can't come down
You make me feel so high
That my feet are losing ground
My reason's telling me
Not to lose control
But I'm in too deep
With my heart and soul

No, I cannot turn my eyes from you
No chance to resist - there's nothing I can do

5. After The Love Is Gone

You're somehow near but far
And it sometimes feels like watching a stranger
I don't know who you are
But it's plain to see you're suppressing the anger
Can't stand my own resistance
This certain feel of anxiety
You're longing for independence
You're reaching out for liberty

I'm searching for the words
But how could I explain
Although the pain still hurts
I know that something bitter sweet remains

After the love is gone and the heartache is over
And will I be moving on or will I be missing you?

How could it come to this?
What began as spring is now permanent winter
Hour to hour It's hit or miss
And the ice that we dance on is starting to splinter
Could this just be a phase
Or a testament we're bound to fail?
I'm longing for better days
And I wonder what will tip the scales

And if I close my eyes, I feel that we have changed
And something slowly dies - ain't it bitter sweet? Oh, isn't it a shame?

6. Save Me

Don't speak - I know what you want to say
'Cause all your words are calculated well
There's no leak - incontestable and waterproof
Though all your phrases leave a bad bad smell

You love to keep control, you live to pull the strings
You're silver tongued so you seem to know it all
With a perfect poker face you tell me I'm the king
To just play the ace and see the poor jack fall

I'm growing weak, I'm giving in
Does anybody hear me now?

Can someone save me and take me away from here?
I'm tied down to the track, the train is slowly coming hear
Help me, is there anybody out there who will lend a helping hand
And save me from the fire burning me?

Iron will - you never do give in
You carve the edge no matter who you raze
Go for the kill, not a care how fairly you may win
But the house you built could end up all in flames

And I just don't know why I can't let go
Does anybody hear me now?

7. Fall From Grace

It's been your own decision
Which side to choose
To help was my ambition
But you've refused
So many times that you've denied
My helping hand
And your world's so full of things
I just don't understand

Your soul is growing weaker
Your will just fades away
I see your heart is bleeding
Why do you throw it all to waste

Where is the strong believer
Where is your faith?
And who broke your heart to pieces?
Why did you lose and fall from grace?

Now the die is cast you can't turn it around
Train is running fast, you won't slow it down

So many times I've begged you
To change your ways
But no, nothing seems to stop you
To leave the maze

Oh, you're so close to madness
And I feel your inner fight
A frown so full of sadness
This desperation in your eyes

8. From A Star

Here comes the rain
Walk alone down the sidewalk on new years day
Once beautiful smile
All the memories are fading, fading away

Life comes with pain
And you got lost in the moment no one cheering your name
All the high hopes
They were crashing down the high rope
No one to blame

The memories will bring them back to life
The yesterdays
Applause still ringing in your ears
No one can take it away

From a star he's falling
When the lights go down and out of the dark
There's an audience calling
Take your bow and say your last goodbye

Last curtain call
One more night in the lime light saying
"Love you all"
Show must go on
There's a new name on the marquee
'Cause the world needs a song

And the memories will bring them back to life
The yesterdays
Applause still ringing in your ears
No one can take it away

From a star he's falling
When the lights go down and out of the dark
From above there's a calling
Take your bow and say the last goodbye

I see you then when all the streets end
And no one knows the hour or day
I'll see you there where all the streets end
Wait for me some miles away...

9. Dance On The Wire

No doubt, no doubt
You live your life on the edge
But slow down, slow down
You're much too close to the ledge
You know that it's too late to turn around
And now you're standing there
Alone with a frown

You're building your castles made of sand
And it seems you don't ever get tired
And though your personal earthquake is close at hand
You still dance on the wire
You still dance on the wire

Come down, come down
Though you believe you can fly
Shut up, shut up
Why can't you never be quiet

It's hard to understand - you really don't know what I mean
When I tell you that you're living in a dream
You better wake up
Now can't you hear me calling
Don't you see you might be falling down
But you just can't stop
It's hard to keep cool
'Cause you're dyed in the wool
And I bet you won't change
Some things will never change

10. Shout

[originally by Tears For Fears]

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white, they really ought to know
Those one track minds that took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye, you shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

They gave you life, and in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind, I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

11. Time To Face The Truth

No one but you and me who's to blame
When the silence comes
Though we tried and tried it's not the same
Though we still holding on

No more we and us, it's all yours and mine
What a difference words can show
I didn't wanna see what I could divine
It's so hard to let go

Maybe my heart will be breaking
Maybe I'll never get over you
Who knows why we both can't stop faking
And it's time to face the truth
To face the truth

These pictures in my head, once so beautiful
They all seem to fade to grey
But I can see clearly now
That these shades of blue
No, they were not meant to stay

12. The Best Is Yet To Come

Come on, dry your eyes
'Cause it's not worth to hold on
No longer sacrifice yourself
For everything that is long gone
Don't cry
For something that ain't worth to keep
I've been through this before
It doesn't matter anymore

I know that life is tough
But you are strong enough
To keep on waiting for the perfect one
And leave the past behind
And someday you will find
That someone waits for you
The bet is yet to come

Some things in life just come and go
They're not meant to stay
But wheels roll on and time goes by
And your pain will fade away
No, I can't tell you how to lead your life
The only thing I know
That in the end it's gonna show

Don't cry
I know that it's not worth to keep
I've been through this before
It doesn't matter anymore
