As Good As You By John Carter


I've been trying to make the most
Of the days you've given me
Tried to be a gracious host
But I'm starting now to see

I'll never be as good as you
But that doesn't mean that I won't try
No, I'll never be as good as you
But that doesn't mean I'll say goodbye

Been trying to get a handle
On what's wrong and what's right
But I still can't hold a candle
To your brilliant, shining light

I'll never be as good as you
But that doesn't mean that I won't try
No, I'll never be as good as you
But that doesn't mean I'll say goodbye

They say the best part of me is you
They say that I'm the luckiest man alive
I rely so much on you to see me through
To hold these tears and hide the pain inside

I'll never be as good as you
I'll never be as good as you

I'll never be as good as you
But that doesn't mean that I won't try
No, I'll never be as good as you
But that doesn't mean I'll say goodbye...

Through By John Carter

Tonight it's over
Tonight we're through
Oh, how I wish
Your words didn't ring true

But one last thing
Before I go
There's one last thing
I want you to know

I loved you the day
I looked in your eyes
And I know that you saw
Through my simple disguise

And I never did stop
Loving you like I do
But I know I can't make
You love me too

I tried my best
We gave it a chance
But you can't build trust
Out of fickle romance

I tried to make your
Dreams from this sand
And believe when I say
This is not what I planned

I loved you the day
I looked in your eyes
And I know that you saw
Through my simple disguise

And I never did stop
Loving you like I do
But I know I can't make
You love me too

This is more than I dreamed
This is more than I planned
And a fire has grown
From the spark that we fanned

My intentions were good
You just can't understand
That I know your soul
Like the back of my hand

I loved you the day
I looked in your eyes
And I know that you saw
Through my simple disguise

And I never did stop
Loving you like I do
But I know I can't make
You love me too...

I'm just too wise
To be surprised
By all the lies
That you tell me

You've hurt me more
Than you did before
Now what's in store
For the lonely?

Beneath The Moon By John Carter

Moonlight plays across your face
Your scars look out of place
The shadows seem to dance tonight

Long lost heroes come to life
And fall under the knife
You put up such a splendid fight

Step back from the edge
Of escape so cold and dead
I'll give anything to be with you

Open darkened eyes to see
And save yourself for me
I'll do anything to see this through

You're not the only one
To sleep under the sun
And live beneath the moon

Take another breath and sigh
I'll fill in the blanks inside
And make you feel so whole again

Living must be hard to do
When all that's real is you
Does it help to know you've got a friend?

Step back from the edge
Of escape so cold and dead
I'll give anything to be with you

Open darkened eyes to see
And save yourself for me
I'll do anything to see this through

You're not the only one
To sleep under the sun
And live beneath the moon

What could make you so depraved
That you cannot be saved
Tell me what you've got to hide

Fragile weakness starts to show
Your silent truth aglow
I know you're not so dark inside

Step back from the edge
Of escape so cold and dead
I'll give anything to be with you

Open darkened eyes to see
And save yourself for me
I'll do anything to see this through

You're not the only one
To sleep under the sun
And live beneath the moon...
