Forget I Ever Knew You - CLAY AIKEN

Forget I Ever Knew You - CLAY AIKEN

I lie awake while the rest of the world sleeps happily
I'm tossing and turning in the dark
I try to make some sense of the mess that calls itself my life
Just wish I knew where I should start

I'd go back in time if I could
and erase you from my mind for good
I get so tired of trying
Maybe I should just...

Fly away let my heart pretend
My dream comes true and the story ends
I get on my feet and start again
And forget I ever knew you
I leave the past and rise above
I let you go and fall in love
With everything that I'm made of
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you

I turn the page I've got nothing to say but I'll start writing anyway
Something that gets me moving on again
Stuck in this place I'm putting one foot in front of the other foot
Maybe today I'll let this be over and done again

I'd make up my mind if I could
And leave this all behind me for good
I'm getting tired of trying
So maybe I should just...

Fly away let my heart pretend
My dream comes true and the story ends
I get on my feet and start again
And forget I ever knew you
I leave the past and rise above
I let you go and fall in love
With everything that I'm made of
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you

The sun can shine a little brighter now
I'm gonna make it on my own somehow
And I will start feeling alive again, yeah

I'll start living life with no regrets
'Cause the best hasn't happened yet
I'm just fine with you out of my life

I'll just, fly away let my heart pretend
My dream comes true and the story ends
I get on my feet and start again
And forget I ever knew you
I leave the past and rise above
I let you go and fall in love
With everything that I'm made of
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you
And forget I ever knew you

I never knew you
Say goodbye to all I've been through
And forget I ever knew you

Proud Of Your Boy - CLAY AIKEN

Proud Of Your Boy - CLAY AIKEN

Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma
You're in for a pleasant surprise

I've wasted time
I've wasted me
So say I'm slow for my age
A late bloomer, Okay, I agree

That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousin' up
Messin' up, screwin' up times

You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good
Cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy

Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am

Water flows under the bridge
Let it pass, let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know, but

Someday and soon
I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller
Or smarter or handsome or wise

I'll do my best, what else can I do ?
Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you
Mom, I will try to
Try hard to make you
Proud of your boy

Solitaire - CLAY AIKEN

Solitaire - CLAY AIKEN

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unshared
Until it died in his silence

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaireee
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire
