Sounds And Lyrics

Mariah:
I shouldn’t have walked away
I would’ve stayed if you said
We could’ve made everything OK
But we just
Threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I’m still on the ground

I couldn’t have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all
‘Member we used to touch the sky
And

Lightning don’t strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love’s a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry

C’mon babe can’t our love be revived
Bring it back and we gon’ make it right
I’m on the edge just tryin’ to survive
As the angels cry

Ne-Yo:
I thought we’d be forever and always
You were serenity
You took away the bad days
Didn’t always treat you right
But it was OK
I do somethin’ stupid
And you still stay with me

But you can only go for so long
Doing the one you claim to love wrong
Before too much is enough
You look up
Find your love gone
And

We were so good together
How come we could not weather
This storm and just do better
Why did we say goodbye

‘Cause lightning don’t strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love’s a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Now every night
I feel the angels cry

Mariah & Ne-Yo:
C’mon babe can’t our love be revived
Bring it back and we gon’ make it right
I’m on the edge just tryin’ to survive
As the angels cry

Baby I’m missin’ you
Don’t allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I’m reaching for you

Baby I’m missin’ you
Don’t allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I’m reaching for you

Lightning don’t strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love’s a gift
But we let it slip
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry

Oh babe, the angels cry

Yeah, uhh
They say money can’t buy you love
They say money can’t buy you love
They never seem to listen
I’m all ears

Just copped your girl a brand new Rolex
But you can never find the time to spend at home
Thinkin’ it’s gon’ keep her happy
When time is all she wanted all along

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin’ but don’t hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what’s right in front of your face
But you can’t see it

So you think that you know what’s important
Steady chasin’ your fame and your fortune
But you don’t know
You’re chasing a dime losin’ a treasure
Those dollars don’t make sense to me at all
Ooh, it goes

Duh da duh da
You give her spending money
Duh da duh da
But all she wanna spend is time alone (tonight)
Keep givin’ her
The finer things but
But she don’t really need that
If you don’t stop you’re
You’re gonna end up alone (alone)
The world without love (duh duh da duh da)
Why would you do it

[Chorus x2]
It’s the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin’ but don’t hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what’s right in front of your face
But you can’t see it

It’s the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin’ but don’t hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what’s right in front of your face
But you can’t see it (listen)

Stop tryna buy her love
‘cuz you won’t ever have enough
There’s always someone with more than you
You need to pay her attention
Give her what she needs
Do the simple things
Before you lose your girl to me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah
Yeeeah yeah
Play on playa
Yeah
Your girl comin’ wit’ me shorty, haha
I’m tellin’ you man
‘cuz u know

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin’ but don’t hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for what’s right in front of your face
But you can’t see it

You better look out
I hear you talkin’, i hear you talkin’ (ha)
But what are you saying
Oh hoo oh hooo
Don’t be a fool
You got a good thing
Man are you blind
Stupid or crazy?
You got a good thing (uh)
You got a good thing
If that’s your lady
You better hold on
And give her what she want
Before she move on
Man I tell you cars, clothes, and fancy things don’t mean a damn thing
If you ain’t kickin it baby

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things in life we forget
You hear her talkin’ but don’t hear what she said
Why do you make something so easy so complicated
Searching for whats right in front of your face
But you can’t see it

[Fade]
Don’t let this be the thing you’ll always regret, no
It’s right there, it’s right there

Verse 1-

For the way you changed my plans
For being the perfect distraction

For the way you took the idea that i had
of everything that i wanted to have
and made me see there was something missing…

For the ending of my first begin *ad-libs*
(And) For the rare and unexpected friend *ad-libs*

For the way you’re something that I’d never choose
but at the same time something i don’t wanna lose
and never wanna be without ever again…

Chorus-

You’re the best thing I never knew I needed
when you appear i had no idea…

You’re the best thing i never knew i needed
so now it’s so clear i need you here, always…

Verse 2-

My accidental happily (ever after)
The way you smile and how you comfort me (with your laughter)

I must admit you were not a part of my book
but now if you open it up and take a look
you’re the beginning and the end of every chapter…

Chorus-

You’re the best thing i never knew i needed
when you appear i had no idea…

You’re the best thing i never knew i needed (that i needed)
so now it’s so clear i need you here, always…

Bridge-

Who knew knew that I could be…
So unexpectedly…
Undeniably happy (yeah)
With you right here, right here next to me…

Chorus-

You’re the best thing i never knew i needed
when you appear i had no idea…

You’re the best thing i never knew i needed (that i needed)
so now it’s so clear i need you here, always…

…Now it’s so clear, I need you here always

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

Are you having trouble keeping up? 
Seeing this thing through 
I want to know who you’re running from 
Me or you? 
You’re too confused to open up 
Feel the way I do 
I want to know who you’re thinking of 
‘Cause I really have no clue 

Another game of charades 
Don’t you know everybody plays? 
I don’t want to lose to you that way 
Maybe we’ll be different this time around 
Maybe we’ll be different, I don’t know 
Don’t want to strangle this 
So I’m holding back for now 

Calm down, don’t take it too far 
I know only time can heal scars 
So I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 
Don’t want any false starts 
I can do without the time apart 
So I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 

Are you having trouble keeping up? 
You know that I will wait 
I wonder if it’s good enough to make you stay 
You’re too confused to open up 
You don’t know what to say 
Well, you can tell me if you think it’s love 
I won’t be far away 

Another game of charades 
Don’t you know everybody plays? 
I don’t want to lose to you that way 
Maybe we’ll be different this time around 
Maybe we’ll be different, I don’t know 
Don’t want to strangle this 
So I’m holding back for now 

Calm down, don’t take it too far 
I know only time can heal scars 
So I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 
Tied down, don’t want any false starts 
I can do without the time apart 
So I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 

I want to know if you’re thinking of me 
I’ll be counting the hours even though I know I’m free 
Too soon to take a chance 
No more questions left to ask 
I could be anything, but the one thing 
I’m not sure you want to be 

Calm down, don’t take it too far 
I know only time can heal scars 
So I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 
Don’t want any false starts 
I can do without the time apart 
I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 

Calm down, don’t take it too far 
I know only time can heal scars 
So I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 
Calm down, don’t want any false starts 
I can do without the time apart 
So I’m ready when you are (when you are) 
I’m ready when you are 

Calm down, I’m ready when you are 
Calm down, I’m ready when you are 
Calm down, I’m ready when you are 
Calm down, I’m ready when you are
