BREAKAWAY
(M. Gerrard / B. Benante / Avril Lavigne)
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I’d just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I’d end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I’d pray
I could break away

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly.
I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love.
I’ll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jetplane
Far away
And break away

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly.
I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging with revolving doors
Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me but
Gotta keep movin on movin on
Fly away
Break away

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly.
Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won’t forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away
Break away
Break away

SINCE U BEEN GONE
(Kara DioGuardi / John Shanks)
Here’s the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You’re dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long ‘til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you’d ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That’s all you’d ever hear me say

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I’m so movin’ on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone

How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I’d never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I’m so movin’ on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want
Since you been gone

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

Since you been gone (since you been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I’m so movin’ on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin’ on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know) that I get
I get what I want

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone

BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES
(Lukasz Gottwald / Martin Sandberg / Kelly Clarkson)
Seems like just yesterday, you were a part of me
I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight, everything it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong

Now I can’t breathe, no I can’t sleep
I’m barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces, can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything, opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright, for once in my life
Now all that’s left of me, is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside

‘Cause I can’t breathe, no I can’t sleep
I’m barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces, can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me, then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you, it kills me now
No, I don’t cry on the outside anymore
Anymore

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces, can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces, can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes


BECAUSE OF YOU
(Ben Moody / David Hodges / Kelly Clarkson)
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you


GONE
(Kara DioGuard I /John Shanks)
What you see’s not what you get
With you there’s just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there

Your eyes they sparkled
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care

You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you’re broken
That was me whenever I was with you

Always ending, always over
Back and forth, up and down, like a roller coaster
I am breaking that habit today

You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I’m already gone

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn’t cut it babe
Take the hit and walk away
Cause I’m gone

Doesn’t matter what you do
It’s what you did that’s hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

What you see’s not what you get

You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone


ADDICTED
(Kelly Clarkson / David Hodges / Ben Moody)
It’s like you’re a drug
It’s like you’re a demon I can’t face down
It’s like I’m stuck
It’s like I’m running from you all the time

And I know I let you have all the power
It’s like the only company I seek is misery all around

It’s like you’re a leach
Sucking the life from me
It’s like I can’t breathe
Without you inside of me

And I know I let you have all the power
And I realize I’m never gonna quit you over time

It’s like I can’t breathe
It’s like I can’t see anything
Nothing but you
I’m addicted to you
It’s like I can’t think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts, in my dreams
You’ve taken over me
It’s like I’m not me
It’s like I’m not me

It’s like I’m lost
It’s like I’m giving up slowly
It’s like you’re a ghost that’s haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head are mine alone
And I know I’ll never change my ways
If I don’t give you up now

It’s like I can’t breathe
It’s like I can’t see anything
Nothing but you
I’m addicted to you
It’s like I can’t think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts, in my dreams
You’ve taken over me
It’s like I’m not me
It’s like I’m not me

I’m hooked on you
I need a fix
I can’t take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I’ll handle it, quit it
Just one more time, then that’s it
Just a little bit more to get me through this

It’s like I can’t breathe
It’s like I can’t see anything
Nothing but you
I’m addicted to you
It’s like I can’t think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts, in my dreams
You’ve taken over me
It’s like I’m not me
It’s like I’m not me


WHERE IS YOUR HEART
(Chantal Kreviazuk / Kelly Clarkson / Kara DioGuardi)
I don’t believe
In the smile that you leave me with
When you walk away and say goodbye

Well I don't expect
The world to move underneath
Baby, but for god's sake, could you try?

I know that you’re true to me
You’re always there, you say you care
I know that you wanna be mine

Where is your heart?
Cause I don’t really feel you
Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard to give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed
And that’s all I’m asking for
Where is your heart?

I don’t understand
Your love is so cold
It’s always me who's reaching out for your hand

I always dreamed
That love would be effortless
Like a petal falling to the ground
A dreamer following his dream

Where is your heart?
Cause I don’t really feel you
Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard to give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed
And that's all I’m asking for
Where is your heart?

It seems so much is left to say
But you can say anything
Oh anytime you need
Baby it's just you and me

I know that you’re true to me
You're always there, you say you care
I know that you wanna be mine

Where is your heart?
Cause I don't really feel you
Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard to give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed
And that’s all I’m asking for

Where is your heart?

WALK AWAY
(Kelly Clarkson / Kara DioGuardi / Chantal Kreviazuk / Raine Maida)
You’ve got your mother and your brother
Every other undercover
Tellin’ you what to say (say)
You think I’m stupid
But the truth is
That it’s cupid, baby
Lovin’ you has made me this way
So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger
Oh yeah
You need to know this situation’s getting old
And now the more you talk
The less I can take, oh

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why are you still standin’ here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

I waited here for you
Like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed (showed)?
I gave you everything
And never asked for anything
And look at me
I'm all alone (alone)
So, before you start defendin’
Baby, stop all your pretendin’
I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow
Let's get the show on the road today
Hey

I’m looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why are you still standin’ here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

I wanna love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I wanna man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me?
Die for me?
Live and breathe for me?
Do you care for me?
‘'Cause if you don’t then just leave

I’m looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why are you still standin’ here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

If you don’t have the answer
Walk away
Just walk (walk) away
(Just walk away)
Then just leave
Yeah yeah
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

YOU FOUND ME
(Kara DioGuardi / John Shanks)
Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don’t wake me from this high
I'd become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it’s like
When everything’s right
Oh I can’t believe

You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn’t leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

I was hiding till you came along
and showed me where I belong

You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know?
How did you know?

You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn’t leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad and the things (everything) in between
You found me
You found me

I HATE MYSELF FOR LOSING YOU
(Kara DioGuardi / Jimmy Harry / Shep Solomon)
I woke up today
Woke up wide awake
In an empty bed
Staring at an empty room
I have myself to blame
For the state I’m in today
And now, dyin’ doesn’t seem so cruel

And oh, I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know anyway, anymore

I hate myself for losing you
I’m seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror?
And staring at you is why he’s not here

You got what you deserved
Hope your happy now
Cause everytime I think of both of you
It’s killing me inside
And now I dread each day
Knowing that I can’t be saved
From the loneliness of living without you

And oh, I don’t know what do
Not sure that I’ll pull through
I wish you’d know

I hate myself for losing you
I’m seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror?
And staring at you is why he’s not here

I hate myself for losing you

And oh, I don’t know what to do
Not sure that I’ll pull through
I wish you knew
I wish you knew
And oh, I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know anyway, anymore

I hate myself for losing you
I’m seeing it all so, I’m seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror?
And staring at you is why he’s not here

What do you say when everything you said?
Is the reason why he left you in the end?
How do you cry when every tear you shed?
Won’t ever bring him back again?
I hate myself for loving you

HEAR ME
(Kelly Clarkson / Kara DioGuardi / Clif Magness)
Hear me, hear me

You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I’m waiting...

Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I’m hoping my dreams bring you close to me
Are you listening?

Hear me, I’m crying out
I’m ready now
Turn my world upside down, find me
I’m lost inside the crowd, it’s getting loud
I need you to see
I’m screaming for you to please
Hear me
Can you hear me?

I used to be scared of letting someone in
But it gets so lonely, being on my own
No one to talk to
No one to hold me
I’m not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?

Hear me, I’m crying out
I’m ready now
Turn my world upside down, find me
I’m lost inside the crowd, it’s getting loud
I need you to see
I’m screaming for you to please
Hear me

I’m restless and wild
I fall but I try
I need someone to understand (can you hear me)
I’m lost in my thoughts
And baby, I fought for all that I’ve got
Can you hear me?

Hear me, I’m crying out
I’m ready now
Turn my world upside down, find me
I’m lost inside the crowd, it’s getting loud
I need you to see
I’m screaming for you, to please
Hear me
Can you
Hear me?
Can you hear me? (oh, no)
Hear me

BEAUTIFUL DISASTER
(Matthew Wilder / Rebekah Jordan)
(¡ao vivo!)
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems
More Heaven than a heart could hold

And if I tried to save him
My whole world could cave in
Just ain’t right
Just ain’t right

Oh and I don’t know
I don’t know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
He's such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
But do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on me tight
Hold on me tight

Oh cause I don’t know
I don’t know what he’s after
But he’s so beautiful
He’s such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster

I’m longing for love and the logical
But he’s only happy hysterical
I’m searching for some kind of miracle
Waiting so long
Waiting so long

He’s soft to the touch
But frayed at the ends he breaks
He’s never enough
And still he’s more than I can take

Oh cause I don’t know
I don’t know what he’s after
But he’s so beautiful
He’s such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster?

He’s beautiful
Just a beautiful disaster...
