ALL MY LIFE
Lyrics By Tawny Ellis and Gio Loria
You saw me old even when I was young
And I used to say you had an old soul
Even way back then
You untangled my heart set a fire to my soul
How did you know
Love when you come how will I know
All my life I’ve spent endlessly dreaming
And all that that I needed I find here with you
And all my life I’ve spent endlessly searching
And all that I needed, I find here with you
You held me up when I was down and weak
And I used swear I’d never let go
Then I broke it apart
These delicate hearts this life this home
Cut to the bone
How could you, you stood by me
You kept holding on
This love’s too deep it can’t be undone
Love when you come how will I know
All my life I’ve spent endlessly dreaming
And all that that I needed I find here with you
And all my life I’ve spent endlessly searching
And all that I needed, I find here with you

Dear Muse
Lyrics by Tawny Ellis
Dear Muse I’m sorry for the confusion
For my grand illusions distractions procrastinations
You play your tricks on me
And just when I catch you
You untangle from my hands
Dear Muse I’m sorry for these delusions
For my lack of faith conclusions dissatisfactions
You put your fix on me
and just when I match you
You untangle from my grasp
And you rise up and you disappear
You leave me waiting
I’ll be waiting
Dear muse
I’m sorry for these retractions
For my bad decisions intoxifications
You’ve been so good to me
I know I don’t own you
And it’s unlikely that you will stay
And you rise up and you disappear
You leave me waiting here
I’ll be waiting … you rise up and you disappear
You leave me waiting, waiting
I’ll be waiting

Erase You
Lyrics by Tawny Ellis
I’m Thin as a rail
Got trouble inside me
Oh why won’t you free me
Just leave me alone
I’m not here for your gain
Just a play thing
A dangling jewel
What can I do
To Erase you
It’s not that I want to
But what can I do
Oh, To Erase you
I’ve too much to lose
Oh darling don’t you see
Oh why won’t you free me
Just leave me alone
My heart is not your game
Just a plaything
A dangling jewel
What can I do
To Erase you
It’s not that I want to
But what can I do
Oh, To Erase you
-------------------------------------------------
I Don’t Want To Fight
Lyrics by Tawny Ellis
Just stay away from me
If you can’t love me right
Just wait don’t say another word
No you can’t change my mind this time
And I
I don’t want to fight
I can see it in your eyes but
I don’t want to fight tonight
Stand back don’t try to make a move on me
It’s no use the truth has come to light
And I gave my blood, my soul freely
You consumed me with pure delight
And I
I don’t want to fight
And I was always on your side
But I don’t want fight tonight
No
And I don’t want to fight
I now have to say goodbye
Cuz I don’t want to live a lie
No I don’t want to live a lie
And I don’t want to fight tonight
-------------------------------------------------
I TO YOU
Lyrics by Tawny Ellis
A coward trudging along
With a secret here down in my bones
No starlight I don’t know where I’m going
In this dark night from you I run
How much can I want you before we are through
How much can I trust you
I to you again I go
Feel the hope alone no more
I to you
I turn back I feel the morning sun
Will you catch me from this abyss I’m thrown
Do you still want me have I been gone too long
Have I gone too far now why must I always run
How much can I want you before we are through
How much can I need you
I to you again I go
Fill the hole alone oh no
I to you again I go
Filled with hope alone no more
What would I be without your love
Would I be free could I feel love
Would I be strong or completely wrong
I to you again I go
Fill the hole alone oh no
I to you again I go
Filled with hope alone no more
I to you

She Stays
Lyrics by Tawny Ellis
She’s always on the edge of leaving
One day she’ll finally find the strength to leave him
No one knows but her
Why she stays
She Stays
She can’t name one single reason why she stay’s
Or why she loves him
She’s always on the edge of treason
She ran away to her friends for the weekend
But he knows just what to say
To make her stay
She Stays
She can’t name one single reason why she loves him
Or why She Stays
-------------------------------------------------
Tonight I Drink Whiskey
Lyrics by Tawny Ellis
It will hurt me maybe kill me
But I must go on living
I got a pretty good handle on this
But theres just those memories
That keep haunting me
My glass is empty come on hit me
I will go on living
I’ve got a pretty good handle on this
You know what I’ve been thinking
Tonight is for drinking
Tonight I drink whiskey
Play all night and sleep through the day
Tonight I drink whiskey
They say it may kill me some day
And that’s just fine with me
They love to love me then they leave me
But I will go on living
Don’t need your kind words not your pity
There is just one thing you can do for me
Just buy me one more whiskey
Tonight I drink whiskey
Play all night and sleep through the day
Tonight I drink whiskey
They say it may kill me some day
And that’s just fine with me
Now theres James and then theres Johnny
They have a pretty good handle on
Yeah…keeping me company
Tonight I drink whiskey
Play all night and sleep through the day
Tonight I drink whiskey
They say it may kill me some day
And that’s just fine
Yes that’s just fine …with me

Why Can’t I Be Her
Lyrics by Tawny Ellis
You’ve had a vision of who you would love
The ins and rounds of her secret curves
And her soft words
But if her face is not so clear
Can’t you see I’m standing here
Just pull me close I will kiss away your tears
Oh why can’t I be her
The one you dream of
Oh why can’t she be me the one that you need
You’ve been alone too long now
You have lost your heart
So many have adored you
You could have your choice
If her face is not so clear
Can’t you see I’m standing near
Just pull me close I will kiss your salty tears
Oh why can’t I be her
The one you dream of
Oh why can’t she be me the one that you need
