The Point of No Return

by Oh! Paulo

I have seen everything I didn't wish to see through the light you walked with him you couldn't look at me I have been a different man since you closed the door in my face and in my life you want to go to war Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar You played with my mind for years you never let me be, the man that I know I am a prisoner now free Where did you claim the right to hurt and criticise, why the hell couldn't I see behind those steely eyes Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar How could you play the part of breaking me right down, you took my soul you took my pride I couldn't make a sound I am now back to my best the shackles have been thrown, you cannot break me now my mind is now my own Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar Now I see you as you really are, airbrushed pictures you're no superstar

Look at the sky I see the sun's gone down, you're not around Look out to sea no waves are crashing now, you're not around Listening out for music there's no sound, 'cos you're not around Hear me I can be the one to stop your tears from falling past the point of no return Look for the stars nothing to see but cloud, you're not around Look to the hills the peaks all foggy bound, you're not around Listening out no birds are singing now, 'cos you're not around Hear me I can be the one to stop your tears from falling past the point of no return Hear me I can be the one to stop your tears from falling past the point of no return Look at the sky I see the sun's gone down, you're not around You're not around

Out of Time 03:32
You looked around and you saw what you wanted, a packet of pills and a vodka bottle This decision came way too easy, for you but your gonna do it your way anyway Something in your eyes the last time I saw you, your happy sad smile just gave you away I didn't know what it was you wanted, you said you're alright and I believed you Where you gonna go when you're out of time? where you gonna go when you see the light? Where you gonna go when you're out of time? tonight I write my side tonight I write my side of the story Put on your best clothes and fold up the old, in your hotel bed it's keeping out the cold The letters that you wrote neatly on the side, you're waiting for your pain to subside Where you gonna go when you're out of time? where you gonna go when you see the light? Where you gonna go when you're out of time? tonight I write my side tonight I write my side of the story It's coming I'm gonna get the news, the ashen-faced doctor comes into the room I can't believe I'm never going to see you ever, ever again Ever, ever again Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Prisoner 03:40
Light me up strip me down punch me out into the ground Soak me through kill my senses beat my legs break my defences All I want is time with you my freedom calls but no time soon All I want is time with you my innocence won't break me through Pinned on my back blood flowing free no protection or help for me The beating stops but not my heart I heal once more so it restarts All I want is time with you my freedom calls but no time soon All I want is time with you my innocence won't break me through I am a prisoner I am a prisoner Tie my hands we go again take me away just fill my veins Light me up keep it shining I'll walk towards and start flat-lining All I want is time with you my freedom calls but no time soon All I want is time with you my innocence won't break me through I am a prisoner I am a prisoner I am a prisoner I am a prisoner

Hold me inside don't let me go, 'cos I don't need to see another road Hold me in your arms don't let me go, 'cos I can't wait to snap out of this low Ooooooh Ooooooh Hold me inside don't let me cry, 'cos I can't stand the blackness of this night Hold me in your arms don't let me cry, 'cos I can't watch what's all around me die Ooooooh Ooooooh Hold me inside don't let me go, 'cos I don't think that I can go it alone Hold me in your arms don't let me go, you look at me you know it's all for show Ooooooh Ooooooh You can see the lies upon my face You can see those lies upon my face Hold me in your arms don't let me go

What did you think when I turned my back on the world for the moment? Did you reach out or look for my hand it's easy to see that I'm just a man Who-oh-oh Who-oh-oh What did you think when I turned my back on the dreams I had held so dear? I never heard you coming around or digging me out but you're just a man Who-oh-oh Who-oh-oh you're just a man What do I need to make me believe in the world? there is goodness here Will it come find me or I search the land it's easy to see that I'm just a man Who-oh-oh Who-oh-oh I'm just a man There is time for me to get it together There is time for me to piece it back together What do you think now I'm facing back to the world for the moment? Can you reach out or take my hand I can admit that I'm just a man Who-oh-oh Who-oh-oh I'm just a man

Falling gently to the ground, I'm within the here and now See the lightning follows thunder, your blackened eyes are full of wonder Now, hold on Now, hold on Wake beside you breathing softly, last night's another simple memory There's more to take when you come around, make me feel like a king in his crown Now, hold on Now, hold on The sun on my back makes me feel alive The sun on my back makes me feel alive Now, hold on Now, hold on I feel it in my vein again I need it coursing to my brain I feel it in my vein again I need it coursing through my brain Now, hold on Now, hold on Hold on, hold on now Hold on, hold on now Now, hold on Now, hold on

You came over and talked with me, as I stood alone We drank and danced the night away, then you took me home I could feel the thunderbolt, cascading from the sky That night I didn't want to end, your body entwined with mine Those bright blue eyes, made me melt inside Those bright blue eyes, imprinted in my mind We barely knew one another, we got on like old friends Time together is short and sweet, but it had to end I thought we could carry on, you told me outright This cannot we're too far apart, and I just lost the fight Those bright blue eyes, make me melt inside Those bright blue eyes, took so long to find Don't say it's over over over, I can't take the hurt Don't say it's over over over, I can't stand the hurt Bright blue eyes Bright blue eyes Those bright blue eyes, now make me hurt inside Those bright blue eyes, can't get them outta my mind

Talk to Me 02:47
All I want is to see your face I'm watching you from far away But you won't talk to me You won't talk to me One last time I need your voice, but I can't you made your choice You won't talk to me You won't talk to me I understand the way you feel, these aren't just words this is real You won't talk to me You won't talk to me You're my last chance my only hope, I hate that you don't want to know Cos you won't talk to me You won't talk to me You're my last chance my only hope, I hate that you don't want to know Cos you won't talk to me You won't talk to me
10.
Wrong Ones 03:41
I always find the wrong ones I always take the wrong turns baby you never look for me I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, give me your sympathy Wait for the time to pass my clock is ticking by so fast, give me your sympathy I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, give me your sympathy Is it too late missed the bus only need to find the right one once, give me your sympathy I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, give me your sympathy I always find the wrong ones, I always take the wrong turns baby you, will you stay with me?
11.
The Window 04:02
You know you missed the window, when she won't let you round You used all your last chances, but you just let her down You know you missed the window, she's had time to grow Her life's moved on without you, you've reaped the seeds you've sown Why all this heartache? Why all this heartache? You know you missed the window, the train has left the track The future may seem bleak now, look forward don't look back Why all this heartache? Why all this heartache? You know you missed the window, resist the urge to phone Her wounds have started healing, just leave the girl alone Why all this heartache? Feel all my heartache Heal all my heartache Heal all my heartache

You with your beauty in that bridesmaid dress, while I stand uneasy in an ill-fitting suit The spotlight shines, all eyes are on you You pull me close with your head on my shoulder, I smell your hair a deep citronella You move me around, 'cos I can't dance at all And then the lights go down, and you trip over me, and my two left feet You look in my eyes and smile it's alright, I turn red embarrassed legs start to stall You say follow don't worry, I'll never let you fall And then the lights go down, and you trip over me, and my two left feet The bar shuts down they grab their coats, need one more song to hold you close You with your beauty in that bridesmaid dress, while I stand uneasy and take in the view The spotlight shines, all eyes are on you And then the lights go down, and you trip over me, and my two left feet
