01. We Live On

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, Ferry Duijsens, Arno Krabman
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen, Arno Krabman
All my life
Never really tried to make it all right
I realise

That all this time
I could have done you right
Put up the fight
We'll start tonight

'Cause We Live On, we will be strong
And we don't have to be alone
'Cause We Live On, we've just begun
And we don't have to hide anymore

Tell me why
Why deny our fate? Why did I call?
Was it nothing at all?

And all this time
I couldn't believe when you told me
It's never too late
We start today (hey hey)

'Cause We Live On, we will be strong
And we don't have to be alone
'Cause We Live On, we've just begun
And we don't have to hide anymore

All my life
I never wandered why I wasn't doing all right
But I will not hide

'Cause We Live On, we will be strong
And we don't have to be alone
'Cause We Live On, we've just begun
And we don't have to hide anymore (oh oh)

02. Treat Me Like A Lady

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, Ferry Duijsens, Arno Krabman
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen, Arno Krabman
I ran into you
You were charming as hell
But something about you is off I could tell
Your superior looks got the best of me
But I tried, yes I tried

Believing or not I was calm and collective
Didn't conceiving was overprotected
But all that I wanted was easy to see
And I tried, yes I tried

You lied
You lied
You're calling me baby
Then brush me aside
You lied
You lied
Treat me Like a Lady
Then brush me aside

You came onto me I was under your spell
I couldn't resist with your "vous êtes très belle"
Not really in love but obsessed you see
And I tried
Yes I tried

Ok, I see you totally decieve me
And now I'm in mourning, I'm in black I am grieving
I gotta take off I've had more than enough but I tried
Tried

You lied
You lied
You're calling me baby
Then brush me aside
You lied
You lied
Treat me Like a Lady
Then brush me aside

You brush me aside
(E-ay-e-ay-e-ay-e)
(E-ay-e-ay-e-ay-e)

(Ah ah oh oh)

You lied
You lied
You're calling me baby
Then brush me aside
You lied
You lied
Treat me Like a Lady
Then brush me aside

Treat me Like a Lady (hey hey-ey)
You've got to Treat me Like a Lady
(Oh oh oh oh)
(E-ay-e-ay-e-ay-e)
(Oh oh oh oh)
You brush me aside
(E-ay-e-ay-e-ay-e)
(Oh oh oh oh)
(E-ay-e-ay-e-ay-e)
(Oh oh oh oh)

03. She

Music by Daniel Gibson
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
As the night is getting darker
And he finds himself alone
He feels it's getting harder
But it's all he's ever known
His mind is playing tricks on him
It's out of this control
And all the medication
Cannot save him anymore

It's not physical, it's not chemical
But there's something you can do
The truth lies within your heart
You'll find another way

But She, She won't let him waste away
She will have something to say, whoa
Standing in the rain
Now, She, She will never make him wait
She knows he has something to say
Whoa, whoa

The toll is getting higher
Your self-esteem is low
Like a son without a father
Who has never seen him grow
Maybe he will break this spell
Clearing the smoke
By killing that desire
Of being all alone

It's not physical, it's not chemical
But there's something you can do
The truth lies within your heart
You'll find another way

But She, She won't let him waste away
She will have something to say, whoa
Standing in the rain
Now, She, She will never make him wait
She knows he has something to say
Whoa, whoa

He knows she'll breathe fire
Whenever he lets go
He knows she'll be tired
Although she's still be 'round

It's not physical, it's not chemical

She, She won't let him waste away
She will have something to say, whoa
Standing in the rain
Now, She, She will never make him wait
She knows he has something to say
Whoa, whoa

04. Drive

Music & lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen, Arno Krabman
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh

Sun glasses on, I'm Driving
I am in control: hundred fifty miles an hour
I don't mind the speed, no, but I've got my demons
I am in control: call that human power

Are you out there?
Eh-oh, eh-eh-eh-oh
Is there anybody out there?
Eh-oh, eh-eh-eh-oh

And I only want to Drive
Want to go far, far away
I only know that I am
On the road, I'm leaving today
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh
And I only want to Drive and move on

Got no brakes, I'm flying
Never losing control, moving at the speed of light
Exactly what I need, oh, and I don't need no sleep, no
'Cause I am in control and I will never stop

Are you out there?
Eh-oh, eh-eh-eh-oh
Is there anybody out there?
Eh-oh, eh-eh-eh-oh

And I only want to Drive
Want to go far, far away
I only know that I
On the road, I'm leaving today
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh
And I only want to Drive and move on
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh

Never looking back, never looking back
Never looking back, never looking back

And I only want to Drive
Want to go far, far away
I only know that I
I'm alone, I'm leaving today
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh
(Never looking back, never looking back)
And I only want to Drive and move on
(Never looking back, never looking back)
Eh-eh-oh

05. My Mother Said

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, René Merkelbach, Arno Krabman
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
My Mother Said "I gained a friend"
"At the end of the heart to heart"
My Mother asked, "Will you be fine"
"With the choices you make in your life?"

And you pick me up
And you hold me close
And you show the way
And you let me go

My father said, "Use your head"
"The guys upstairs, they just don't care"
My father asked, "Will you be safe"
"When you are always so far away?"

And you pick me up
And you hold me close
And you show the way
And you let me go

I let the light into my life
Close my eyes before I die
And you let me go
And you sent me off

Into the sky
Always believe in me, always beside me
I've come this far and I'll be going
Farther than the stars

And you pick me up
And you hold me close
And you take my hand
And you watch me grow
And you show the way
And you let me go

I let the light into my life
Close my eyes before I die
And you let me go
You let me go
My Mother Said, "I gained a friend"

06. Forgive Me

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, Daniel Gibson
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
Silence always speaks to me
Kindness always answers me
All I see is all I believe in
All I believe in is all I can be

Listen to my heart sing
You're by my side
I'll be all right

Won't you stay around a little
Longer, longer?
Don't you see, with you I'm so much
Stronger, stronger?
Forgive, Forgive Me
Forgive, Forgive Me
For loving you

Silence always speaks to me
I can hear its poetry

Listen to my heart sing
You're by my side
I'll be all right

Won't you stay around a little
Longer, longer?
Don't you see, with you I'm so much
Stronger, stronger?
Forgive, Forgive Me
Forgive, Forgive Me
Forgive, Forgive Me
Forgive, Forgive Me
For loving you

07. You Will Never Change

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, Ferry Duijsens, Arno Krabman
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen, Arno Krabman
Oh, you know, you did
You didn't even tease me
Or tried, or tried to deceive me
You did, you didn't even let me down
Oh, you know, you did
You didn't even blame me
Come oh...Come over me and betray me
You could, you couldn't even freak me out

Oh, just get up and go now
I don't even care how
You Will Never Change
Oh, just leave me alone now
You really have to go now
Before I go insane

Oh, you know, I wish
I wish you would have touched me
Or take, take the time to watch me
You did, you didn't have to let me down
Oh, you know, I wish
I wish I could believe you
When you would tell me, "Girl, I love you"
And now, and now you just freak me out

Oh, just get up and go now
I don't even care how
You Will Never Change
Oh, just leave me alone now
You really have to go now
Before I go insane

Can't blame me, can't see me
Can't feel my in heart all you could see
Can't break me, can't leave me
All my shame tells no lies

Oh, just get up and go now
I don't even care how
You Will Never Change
Oh, just leave me alone now
You really have to go now
Before I go insane

Oh, just get up and go now
I don't even care how
You Will Never Change
Oh, just leave me alone now
You really have to go now
Before I go insane

08. Mental Jungle

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, Ferry Duijsens
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen, Hayko Cepkin
You don't really know how to love yourself
You didn't really learn how to face your truth
I watch you try, you can't get up
You don't even know how to move
I realise you are sedated

It's like a Mental Jungle:
You will get lost, get lost, get lost
It's like a Mental Jungle:
You will come home exhausted

If I said I could help you to make a start
You still wouldn't have the tools to mend your heart
As I watch you try, you can't get up
You don't even know how to move
I realise you are sedated

It's like a Mental Jungle:
You will get lost, get lost, get lost
It's like a Mental Jungle:
You will come home exhausted

Birazdım, çoğaldım, elimdedir sandım
İnat içindeymiş inan ah kurtulsam
Nerdeydin ah sana uzandım da...

It's like a Mental Jungle:
You will get lost, get lost, get lost
It's like a Mental Jungle:
You will get lost, get lost, get lost
It's like a Mental Jungle:
You will come home exhausted

İçime işledi kelimeler bir an içindeydi
Günahımsa bunlar, kabul edip öderim
Üzgünüm hem de çok üzgün

09. Shooting For The Stars

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, Arno Krabman
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen
No time, no time for hesitating
No time, nobody is waiting
I say what's on my mind
And there's no way I am gonna make it
Unless I am wide awake
I know deep inside

I don't want to leave
I want to be right here in this life

Right now, now is where we are
Reaching out that high, higher than the sky
It's always on my mind, it's never gonna leave me blinded
For the Stars, Shooting for the Stars
Shooting for the stars

They say life is complicated
They say love is overrated
Nothing is black or white
And there's no way we are gonna make it
Unless we no longer fake it:
We will be all right

I don't want to leave
I want to live right here where we are

Right now, now is where we are
Reaching out that high, higher than the sky
It's always on my mind, it's never gonna leave me blinded
For the Stars, Shooting for the Stars

Hold on, you don't have to walk alone
Hold on, I won't let you go

Right now, now is where we are
Reaching out that high, higher than the sky
It's always on my mind, it's never gonna leave me blinded
For the Stars, Shooting for the Stars
Shooting for the Stars

10. The Best Is Yet To Come

Music by Anneke van Giersbergen, Daniel Gibson, Arno Krabman
Lyrics by Anneke van Giersbergen, Arno Krabman
I don't wanna be polite
I just wanna hold you tight and
Squeeze the truth out of you
Before you walk away
Let me remind you, Ray, that you're amazing
You just have no clue so shy
Stop running away

'Cause The Best is Yet to Come
You will never be like the other ones
Your life has just begun
You don't have to hide where you're coming from

Stand up and stretch out your arms
This life won't do you no harm
'Cause I'm the one
You can always count on
Before you walk away
Let me remind you, Ray, that
I will be your friend
Until the bitter end don't hide
Don't throw this away

'Cause The Best is Yet to Come
You will never be like the other ones
Your life has just begun
You don't have to hide where you're coming from

But it's just another day
And you don't have to wait
For the rain to wash away
Your dusty frame of mind
And it's just another way
You have to play the game
Don't fall behind

The Best is Yet to Come
You will never be like the other ones
Your life has just begun
You don't have to hide where you're coming from

You are not alone, don't be scared
Don't you dare give up
You are not alone, I'll be there
