"Kris Allen" (2009)



Live Like We're Dying lyrics - kris allen

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you,
What would you wish you would've done

Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution,
There'll no one on the line, yeah

Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing till it's gone
You never see a crash till it's head on
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it's gone

Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying..

Before We Come Undone lyrics - kris allen

You could break this silence with
Words we wish we'd never said
But I can hear it like a scream
What's become of you and me?
Are we still inside this night
Or am I going crazy?

I'm just trying to understand
Who I was, who I am
But you are changing just the same
So can you tell me who's to blame
Could we put our weapons down
Just to figure this out?

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone

If you say that it's too late
Those are words my heart can't take
And this night is out to kill
And we let it, it will
Could we both forgive somehow
Cause I'm not letting you down

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Watch out, here we go
There's no turning back you know
We can't keep going round and round
And round and round

So now pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Cause I know we can make it before
Make it before we come undone

Can't Stay Away lyrics - kris allen

I see you girl walking over here
Can't look away
I see you left a trail of broken hearts
On your way to me
I've tried to not let it show
But I know that you know, yeah

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

There's something about the way
You make me feel
I'm ready to confess
That you take my heart
And baby, I'm a mess
I'm done trying to deny
That without you I'll be alright

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

24 hours a day ain't nearly enough, no way
To get to know you from head to toe
You know how to captivate
Please baby, don't make me wait
I'm at your door, I need more
More, more, more, more, ohhh

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay away from you, ohhh
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

The Truth lyrics - kris allen

Lying next to you
Wishing I could disappear
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth

I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losing sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth

Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin, oh yeah...

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
It's easier than telling the truth

Written All Over My Face lyrics - kris allen

I always played you songs
To say what I never could
Other people say it better
Say it better than I would
But for every word left unsaid
I thought you understood

It was easier to kiss you
Than to tell you how I feel
Oh and I don't want to lose you
But you can't see that through your tears
You're saying that I hurt you
But I had no idea...

(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?

You're not one of my boys
You can't get inside my mind
I'm not one of your girlfriends
Who's gonna see it from your side
What you lay on the table
Well I choose to keep inside

(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face

There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we could talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
All over my face
All over my face
When it's written all over my face
All over my face

There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation...

Bring It Back lyrics - kris alllen

Unspoken, in silence
Let's stay here tonight
There's no reason to ask me
Cause you know what's inside

Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

At sundown on the freeway
Is no place for goodbyes
Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

I've got a different ending to our story
I know it's hard for you to hear it through
But listen as I read

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

Red Guitar lyrics - kris allen

It may not be the best one
It may not be like the rest of 'em
But she makes it sound so sweet
The melodies she makes it's saying

On her red guitar
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
It's been through hell

Oh, the sound it makes
It takes me to some higher place
She doesn't have a clue
Oh, that I love to listen to...

Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Of her red guitar

She plays it soft, so only I can hear
The same old song
That she played last year
And it may not have all the strings
Oh, but she strums it beautifully

On her red guitar, yeah
Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Of her red guitar, of her red guitar

Is It Over lyrics - kris allen

This time you say it's for good
You've played kind
For as long as you could
With your head in hands
And your tears on my chest
I think to myself, I'm not giving up yet

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone?

So take your time
As you're headed for the door
Cause I might find
The right words to say
If you give me a second more
I'm no good at goodbyes
And my pride's here to see
That I won't let you go
As you walk out on me

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?

I wish I could make you stay,
Just like you should
So take this love, before you go
And if it's all that I am, let me ask you again
Cause I need to be sure
Is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
If I crawl on my knees, would you come back to me?
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?
Would you care, or are you already gone?

Let It Rain lyrics - kris allen

So many things are trying to keep me
And so many voices trying to reach me
To tell me that this is not the way
To tell me that this is my mistake

Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain

I know that this is not the way
That you imagined it would be
Oh, but nothing you say is gonna stop me
No matter the weather that you bring

Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain

So many things are trying to keep me
So many voices trying to reach me

So oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
So many things are trying to keep me...

Alright With Me lyrics - kris allen

I'm a little pawn still in your game
And you ignore my advances
I turn my head and I look away
But I can't control my eyes are on you

Oh, you're on the run and I'm chasing you
Feels like war with all your glances
I'm just a boy without a clue
And I can't control following you

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

I know you better than you know
You can fight but it's not over
I say to stop but you start to go
I guess that means it's L-O-V-E

I say to look but you turn away
I say we put our best foot forward
Will you believe, come next to me
Oh, why can't you see, I'm begging you, please

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

(Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)

And I'm knocking on your door
Baby baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please
I keep knocking on your door
Baby, baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

Lifetime lyrics - kris allen

I wake up, put my poker face on
It's roughly the same hand
I was dealt yesterday
I stand up and stare out at the skyline
It's roughly the same town
That I saw yesterday

Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars of my heart
That prove that I'm still alive
That I'm still alive
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right

Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

I Need To Know lyrics - kris allen

Life's been blinding me
From what I thought I'd see
Is there clarity in this insanity? (yeah)
What's she want from me? (yeah)

Roads in front of me
Taking me astray
Are you leaving me?
Or are you leading the way?
Can you hear what I'm saying?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

Feel like I'm trying to breathe under water
Trying to climb but I keep falling farther
Will you take my hand?

Feels so far away
I want to see your face
Are you even there?
Can you show me?
Can you make me believe?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

Heartless lyrics - kris allen

In the night
I hear 'em talk
Coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me you know
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

How could be so Dr. Evil
You're bringin' out a side of me that I dont know
I decided we weren't gon' speak so
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me fo'
Homie I dont know she's hot and cold
I won't stop I won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than
Me

'Cause in the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night

In the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far far far he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless
Oh

'Cause in the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless

Send Me All Your Angels lyrics - kris allen

What am I gonna do tonight
When I’m one step closer to the other side
It’s easy to pretend
Tryin' hard not to fade away
But the world’s got me feeling so out of place
How will all this end?
It’s so hard to say

Send me all your angels tonight
I’m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now

Everyday, gotta face the fact that
I’m trying to reason with the demons on my back
And I’m hoping to hold on
Don’t wanna make friends tonight
With the faces, with the faces
Not this time
When will all this end?
Just give me a sign

Send me all your angels tonight
I’m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now

Better days are sure to come
I don’t wanna come undone
So show me what I’m living for, yeah

Send me all your angels tonight
I’m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now
Send me all your angels now
Send me all your angels, now
Oh, ooh

What am I gonna do tonight
When I’m one step closer to the other side

From The Ashes lyrics - kris allen

I hate it when the light goes from your eyes
And there's nothing I can say to make it better
If it's true love that's keeping us alive
Could we find a way to fight this war together?

Time falls like sand
Watch it fallin'
Right through our hands

[Chorus:]
Could we be most afraid of what will save us
Breakdown to find out what we're really made of
If we're standing on the edge
Hold on when it crashes
Could we rise up from the ashes

It's crazy after everything we've planned
How it feels like we are never gonna get there
Standing on the bridge, watching it burn
No more yesterday tomorrow's all that matters

Time falls like sand
Watch it fallin'
Right through our hands, yeah

[Chorus]

You just said you lost your way
Like you've forgotten how to dream awake
But I know you (I know you)
But I know you

And I know you
Don't be scared, just close your eyes
We don't ever have to say goodbye
Well it's alright, it's alright

[Chorus]

Ain't No Sunshine (originally by Bill Withers) lyrics - kris allen

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Well, ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know, I know, I know, well, I know
I know, I know, I know, well, I know
I know, I know, I know, well, I know

I ought to leave the young thing alone
'Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Anytime she goes away
Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Apologize (originally by OneRepublic) lyrics - kris allen

I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin' what you're saying, but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait

Tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say that
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat, it's nothin' new
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turnin' blue, and you say
Sorry like the angel, heaven let me think was you, but I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah

I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground

Falling Slowly (originally by The Frames) lyrics - kris allen

I don't know you but I want you all the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me and I can't react
And games that never amount to more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly eyes that know me and I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me and I'm painted black
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had the choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Let It Be (originally by The Beatles) lyrics - kris allen

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right infront of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in this world with me
There will be an answer
Let it be
And though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Let it shine on until tomorrow
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be
Let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

No Boundaries lyrics - kris allen

Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait?
Every moment lasts forever
When you feel you lost your way

And what if my chances were already gone?
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away

So here I am still holding on

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries!

I fought to the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets?
Don't know where the future's headed
But nothing's gonna bring me down

I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I've risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why!

So here I am still holding on

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you and your dreams

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe

Yeah! There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries!

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries

To Make You Feel My Love (originally by Bob Dylan) lyrics - kris allen

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
There is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
Make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
Down on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love, to make you feel my love

What's Going On lyrics - kris allen

(originally by Marvin Gaye)

Mother, mother there's too many of you crying
Oh brother, brother, brother there's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Father, father we don't need to escalate
You see war is not the answer for only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Picket lines and picket signs, don't punish me with brutality
Oh and talk to me so you can see
What's going on, oh what's going on
Yeah what's going on, oh what's going on

Mother, mother everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us simply because our hair is long
Oh you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs, don't punish me with brutality
Oh and talk to me so you can see
What's going on, oh what's going on
Come on, what's going on, oh what's going on
