Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead.
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead.
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me

I WILL SURVIVE By Gloria Gaynor

At first I was afraid; I was petrified,
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side,
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong,
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.
So you're back, from outer spaceI just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face,
I should have changed that stupid lock,
I should have made you leave your key,
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me,
Oh and now GO! Walk out the door! Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes,
D' you Think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive...oh as long as I know how to love,
I know I am still alive.
I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,
I will survive, hey hey!

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
Now I am trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high,
And you see me, somebody new..I am not that chained up

Scared.
It's as if I'm terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It's clear we don't understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we're in this together.
Don't scream - there are so many roads left.
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you. (x4)
(Relax)
It's as if I'm scared.
It's as if I'm terrified.
It's as if I scared.
It's as if I'm playing with fire.
Relax
It's as if I'm terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax
Relax

MONSOONBy by Tokio Hotel

I'm staring at a broken door,
There's nothing left here anymore.
My room is cold,
It's making me insane.
I've been waiting here so long,
But the moment seems to 've come,
I see the dark clouds coming up again.

CHORUS

Running through the monsoon,
Beyond the world,
To the end of time,
Where the rain won't hurt (?)
Fighting the storm,
Into the blue,
And when I loose myself I think of you,
Together we'll be running somewhere new
Through the monsoon.
Just me and you.
A half moon's fading from my sight,
I see your vision in its light.
But now it's gone and left me so alone
I know I have to find you now,
Can hear your name, I don't know how.
Why can't we make this darkness feel like home?

CHORUS

Running through the monsoon,
Beyond the world,
To the end of time,
Where the rain won't hurt (?)
Fighting the storm,
Into the blue,
And when I loose myself I think of you,
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you.
Through the monsoon. Hey! Hey!

BRIDGE

I'm fighting all this power,
Coming in my way
Let it sail me straight to you,
I'll be running night and day.
I'll be with you soon Just me and you.
We'll be there soon So soon.

CHORUS

Running through the monsoon,
Beyond the world,
To the end of time,
Where the rain won't hurt (?)
Fighting the storm,
Into the blue,
And when I loose myself I think of you,
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you.
Through the monsoon.
Through the monsoon.
Just me and you.
Through the monsoon.
Just me and you.
