"If It Wasn't For You" - Lyric Sheet 1     [to Lyric Sheet 2]
For Lovin' You: Music & Lyrics by Diane Altomare © Diane Altomare 2003
You didn't love me at the right time...Even though I waited here for you...The mystery of love is
when it comes...And that you didn't need me...like I needed...you

But I'll be alright, you'll see...Don't worry about me...'Cuz I've always made it through &...
I'll be better someday for lovin' you

So thank you for being you... And leaving me when you did...The pain it gave me, oh I needed to feel...
To see the spaces I was trying to fill with you

But I'll be alright, you'll see...Don't worry about me...'Cuz I've always made it through &...
I'll be better someday for lovin' you

Love me, leave me, C'mon break me, teach me...Who I am and all I'm meant to be

But I'll be alright, you'll see...Don't worry about me...'Cuz I've always made it through &...I'll be better someday...
Yah I'll be better someday.

I'll be better someday, someday, whoa, someday, someday, for lovin' you.

It's a God Thing: Music & Lyrics by Diane Altomare © Diane Altomare 2003
Miracles happen, babies conceived, the things we can't see...Unexpected man arrives, with what you so deeply need.
Fingers moving, music writing, too big to just be you...Hearin' that little voice inside, acting on it, with no reason, no clue

It's a god thing. It's a me thing. It's you. It's a god thing...What we can't see but we know is real.
A god thing. A me thing. It's You. It's a God thing...What we can't see but we know it's real.

Seeing a vision in your mind, paintin' it, makin' it come alive...Bringing yourself to the world, knees shakin', your heart breakin'
The perfect bloom of a rose unfolding before your eyes...Knowing through the storm of life, that somehow it's gonna be, it's gonna be alright

It's a god thing. It's a me thing. It's you. It's a god thing...What we can't see but we know is real.
A god thing. A me thing. It's You. It's a God thing...What we can't see but we know it's real.

It's inexplicable, inexplainable, unjustifiable, undeniable,
Indefinable, indescribable, but oh, so reliable, when we have faith, when we have faith

It's a god thing. It's a me thing. It's you. It's a god thing...What we can't see but we know is real.
A god thing. It's a me thing. It's You. It's a God thing...What we can't see but we know it's real.
We know it's real, oh, oh, oh I know it's real. I know, I know it's real.

Still Here: Music & Lyrics by Diane Altomare © Diane Altomare 2003 << back up to top
Through all the scrapes and the bruises; through my failures; all your excuses.
Through the pain and-the-wars inside my head, that wouldn't go away,
Through the times you used me, all the ways life's abused me,
Through the painful blessings, the many lessons, I've learned. . . One thing remains. .

I'm still here. Still here. Still here.
Through all the mistakes I've made. . I'm still here.

Through all the trash you said about me; behind my back & in front of me
Through all the fights; how you always had to be right.
Through the games we played, the mess we made, how much it truly jaded me
Through the joy you stole from me; the villain you made me out to be

I'm still here. Still here. Still here.
Through all the mistakes I've made. . I'm still here.

You were the perfect one to show me, how strong I really am & all I can withstand

I'm still here. Still here. Still here.
Through all the mistakes I've made
I'm still here. Still here. Here.
Through all the mistakes I've made I'm still here. . whoa. . still here. .

I'm Not Yours: Music & Lyrics by Diane Altomare © Diane Altomare 2003 << back up to top
One more time, like an old tune, please don't judge me, I'll break right through
Tell me you're heart aches the same, when we hurt each other this way
One more game, I can hardly play, looking through your eyes, I see your pain
Tell me you can see mine too, and all we put each other through

I'm not yours, to bash or bruise, I struggle, just as much as you do
Promise you'll try, to see me through, the same loving eyes I use for you

Can't get me to be your pain, Own the truth in your family, or your name
It's the past you chose to bury, your bitter right, to keep it all the same

I'm not yours, to bash or bruise, I struggle, just as much as you do
Promise you'll try, to see me through, the same loving eyes I use for you

It never made sense to me the pain; the scene; what you believed
And how you could blame me for the way you feel

I'm not yours, to bash or bruise, I struggle, just as much as you do
Promise you'll try, to see me through, the same loving eyes I use
I'm not yours, to bash or bruise, I struggle, just as much as you do

Running to You: Music & Lyrics by Diane Altomare © Diane Altomare 2003 << back up to top
Broken in pieces, my heart shattered beneath, the tough edges you see, all that's left of me.
Climbing this mountain with you, Left my voice behind, stepped aside again, so you could shine.

Gotta stop running to you, to pick up the pieces...Can't Keep leaving behind, who I am, what I feel inside.
I'm walking back to my life. Come with me- just take my hand...If you can't, I'll understand, oh, oh

Your presence a blanket, it covered my tongue; so much underneath; a rebel stuck underground
In the distance a light, I see it re-appearing, the silence, a force that pushed my voice to come back so clearly

Gotta stop running to you, to pick up the pieces...Can't Keep leaving behind, who I am, what I feel inside.
I'm walking back to my life. Come with me- just take my hand...If you can't, I'll understand, oh, oh

I feel the pieces, coming back, the pieces. coming. together again. . together again. . together again

Heal: Music & Lyrics by Diane Altomare © Diane Altomare 2003
<< back
up to top

I was walking I was talking I was singing the blues
And I was lying, I was crying over you
I was breaking I was faking I was so confused
And I was trying to get over you

Heal this hole inside I gotta feel whole
Heal this hole inside I gotta feel whole again
Heal this hole inside I gotta feel whole again

I was falling I was crawling in my mind back to you
And I was trying to make our dreams come true

CHORUS

I was praying, I was failing, I was taking in the news

CHORUS
