1. TASTE THE PAIN

Flat on my back
In a lonely sprawl
I stare at the ceiling
Because I cannot fall
Asleep tonight
No not at all
Head lights flash
Across my bedroom wall
Crying eyes open
Because I cannot fall
In love with you
No not at all

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

Busted in two
Like a brittle stick
I can not drink
Because my throat constricts
Lovesick from you
That will never do
Open my mouth
I couldn't make a sound
I could not scream
I could not shout
It out to you
Nothing to do

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid
This may come as a shocking surprise
I have to take a walk
I have to kiss it goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my love
I am not alive

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

3. SHOW ME YOUR SOUL

In a world that can be so insane
I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you
I wanna know more than your brain

Into my life you were injected
Not something that I expected
Now I smile from your affection
We have made a soul connection
Just for whom does your bell toll
Don't be cold show me your soul

Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you
You're my best friend
Show me your soul

In a world that can be so insane
I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you
I wanna know more than your brain

Yes, I find you so appealing
When you show me how you're feeling
You my friend need not be kneeling
Open up and start revealing
Trust in me my heart is whole
I need to see, show me your soul

In a world that can be so insane
I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you
I wanna know more than your brain

Don't expect too much from me
Perfection is no test for me
Because the best I'll ever be
Is just like you
A human being
You won't offend I need to know
Please my friend show me your soul
