Pretend 

You’ve got the whole world on your shoulders
You and me both know how it feels
But you’re the one who keeps the distance
And I’m the one who tries to reach out 

You keep pretending
And I keep on waiting
I wanna know are you for real 

You say you’re sorry
And I say don’t worry
But who’s the fool who keeps pretending? 

You go your ways and leave me guessing
Why should I bother to keep hanging on?
But then you show up when I least expect it
And I can’t help but wonder how you’ve been 

You keep pretending
And I keep on waiting
I wanna know are you for real 

You say you’re sorry
And I say don’t worry
But who’s the fool who keeps pretending? 

We got away from it
We got it going
You were the one
I put my faith in 

But you kept pretending
And I kept on waiting
But who’s the fool, you tell me 

You keep pretending
And I keep on waiting
I wanna know are you for real 

You say you’re sorry
And I say don’t worry 

Who keeps pretending?
Who keeps pretending? 

You keep pretending
You keep pretending

Hopes & Dreams 

An empty house, early morning
Not a word was said, she left without warning
Another day in a dead-end job
Today it’s her way, she’s had enough
She still believes in her childhood dreams
Pushing herself to extremes

She’s gonna try and make it out there on her own 

She follows her heart and she leaves
She has her hopes up high and she dreams
It don’t matter what they say
She’s got her hopes and her dreams
She dances all day long
and sings along her favorite song 

She’s got her hopes and dreams 

She works all day and makes a living
At nights she dreams of a new beginning
To this day she’s been looking for her place
She’s yet to find it, she keeps at it
They hold her in such high esteem
But for her it’s never too late to dream

She’s made her mind and she will head out on her own  

She follows her heart and she leaves
She has her hopes up high and she dreams
It don’t matter what they say
She’s got her hopes and her dreams
She dances all day long
and sings along her favorite song 

She’s got her hopes and dreams 

She keeps dreaming on ’til her dreams come true 

She follows her heart and she leaves
She has her hopes up high and she dreams
It don’t matter what they say
She’s got her hopes and her dreams
She dances all day long
and sings along her favorite song

She follows her heart and she leaves
She has her hopes up high and she dreams
It don’t matter what they say
She’s got her hopes and dreams

Saturday Night Heartache 

I can still remember that Saturday night,
you walking through that door straight into my life
The way your blue eyes caught me by surprise
should have made me atleast think twice 

Right then and there we really hit it off,
you were everything that I had dreamed of
But never had I seen such a deadly smile like yours,
you left me for dead, still I was asking for more 

I fell hard when you showed the way it all could be,
the way I could feel, you ended up being my Saturday night heartache 

Saturday heartache
You left me for dead 

Next thing I remember I was already thinking about
how good your first name would look before my last
And for a moment we were right as rain,
dancing in the moonlight with a glass of champagne 

You kept smiling like you were into me,
but I guess you were not where you really wanted to be
Oh, I must have been crazy for ever thinking about settling down,
with a girl like you I never had a chance 

You found your way into my heart, you tore it apart,
you left me scarred, you ended up being my Saturday night heartache 

Saturday heartache
I never had a chance 

We had our fun misbehaving, we danced and we drank,
we made out and laughed, still you ended up being my Saturday night heartache 

Saturday heartache
You left me for dead 

Saturday heartache
I never had a chance

The Girl Who Walked Alone 

At the edge of the pier
she lays there without fear
She stares at the moon
dreaming about the stars
But the lies, they hurt the most,
she’s never felt it so close 

She appears all tough yet she feels so lost 

With time on her side
she writes down her thoughts
Hiding her feelings
within her own songs
She picks up her guitar
and a simple melody 

She dwells on her misery 

With dreams of better days
she heads out on the road
From town to town
life’s hard but she won’t back down
The people that she meets
start to fill the empty seats 

Looking for an escape that she provides 

She sings her song,
but she sings it on her own
She acts like nothing's wrong
She’s the girl who walked alone 

Walking through the night
in search of the morning light
She’s set on her ways
and ready for her big break
But it’s easy to get lost
and never find yourself 

Longing for the love that she has lost 

She sings her song,
but she’s sings it on her own
She acts like nothing's wrong
She’s the girl who walked alone 

It won't be long
before she's known
Standing tall and strong
She’s the girl who walked alone

A Life Of Her Own 

The winding road leads her forth
She drives on all alone
Wherever she ends up, that’s her home
She’s got a way to make it on her own

Another night spent on the road
Away from it all
Her love grew cold, she couldn’t stay
She chose to leave to be free 

There she goes
With a life of her own 

She lights her last cigarette
But she won’t stop just yet
She has travelled far and wide
Oh, the tears that she has cried 

And hard times, they come and they go
She knows that for sure
She stays strong, she believes
One day she’ll live her dream 

There she goes
With a life of her own 

She carries on on her own now
She’s on her way
She’ll make her stand
She’s got a life of her own 

They said “don’t waste your life you’ll only crash and burn”
”You won’t get far, you will fail and you’ll come crawling back” 

Oh, she has found her place
Living the dream she left to chase
Under the stars, in the spotlight
Every night she shows her might 

There she goes
With a life of her own
