Caught Up In The Blues

(Reiter)

It’s too dark down here
I need to find my way out
It all felt so certain
Now I’m buried in doubt
Lookin’ for a ray of hope
But all I get is bad news
Say it’s time to move on
But I’m caught up in the blues

The blues don’t bother knockin’
They just walk right in
Pull up a chair beside you
Start countin’ up all your sins

I keep turning my head
All that I see
Is a pile of those shattered dreams
That weren’t meant to be
Tryin' to find a reason
Just leaves me so confused
Every step I take now
Feels like I’m caught up in the blues

The blues don’t bother knockin’
They just walk right in
Pull up a chair beside you
Start countin’ up all your sins

Got too many questions
Runnin’ circles in my mind
There’s gotta be some happiness
I just can’t find
I did all I was supposed to
And I sure ’nuff paid my dues
Every road leads me right back here
Got me caught up in the blues

Blame It On Me

(Reiter)

Blame it on me
Blame it on me
Whatever wrong you may see
Go ahead and blame it on me

I’m so used to being wrong
Cos I’ve been told all along
No matter what I do
I seem to end up hurting you

I’m tryin’ to fix what I can’t mend
You twist the truth and I just don’t understand
But I don’t cry, I don’t plead
I’ll let you blame it on me

I’m owning up
To every fault in the world
Just to make you stay
If things gonna work that way
Keep on playing your game, little girl
And I’ll toe every line to keep you mine

I say I’m sorry every time
Even when the fault ain’t mine
But I know how this will go
You get the high, I take the low

I’m owning up
To every fault in the world
Just to make you stay
If things gonna work that way
Keep on playing your game, little girl
And I’ll toe every line to keep you mine

I’m tryin’ to fix what I can’t mend
You twist the truth and I just don’t understand
But I don’t cry, I don’t plead
I’ll let you blame it on me

Blame it on me
Blame it on me
Whatever wrong you may see
Go ahead and blame it on me

And I won't cry, I won't plead
I'll let you blame it on me

What's The Use

(Reiter)

I can keep tellin’ myself I did my best
Still I’m stuck down here in this mess
Just leaves me wonderin’ where did I go wrong

I kept searchin’ for the right words to say
Hopin’ I would make it through another day
It’s a shame baby, we just couldn’t get along

What’s the use of holdin’ on when it’s already gone?
What’s the use of stayin’ strong when I’ve been weak too long?
I keep on runnin’, but I can’t break loose
If love ain’t enough, then what’s the use?

Spent my time tryin’ to make things right
But each and every spark we had just lost its light
And there’s no denyin’ everything was all in vain

Now I’m lookin’ back with a different point of view
I’m second-guessin’ everything I thought I knew
And all that’s left for me is nothing but the pain

Said I keep on runnin', but I can’t break loose
If love ain’t enough, then what’s the use?

Gonna keep on runnin', but I can’t break loose
If love ain’t enough, then what’s the use?

You Ain’t Got Nothing On Me

(Reiter)

You’re trying your best to put me down
I guess you mistake me for some kind of clown
You’re all talk and no action, that’s plain to see
Why don’t you show me what you got
I know it can’t be a lot
You ain’t got nothing on me
You ain’t got nothing on me

You keep talking ’bout what you’re gonna do
I’d be surprised if your claims were true
If you’re tryin’ to be slick, well I’m not impressed so easily
Why don’t you show me what you got
I know it can’t be a lot
You ain’t got nothing on me (no, you don’t)
You ain’t got nothing on me

You’re wastin’ your time
Tryin' to mess with my mind
If you think you’re so strong
Go ahead, bring it on
Bring it on
You ain’t got nothing on me

I don’t need your double-talk, that’s for sure
Is that really everything you have in store
I may have taken some punches but I’m standing on my own two feet
Come on and show me what you got
I know it can’t be a lot
You ain’t got nothing on me (no you don’t)
You ain’t got nothing on me (...)

Thief In The Night

(Reiter)

Under cover of darkness
My life was broken into
The midnight sky black and starless
Couldn’t help conceal it was you

You got what you wanted
But I know you’re coming back for more
Tryin’ to end what you started
And then kicking me when I’m down on the floor

The moon is your partner in crime
Just like the ghosts of the past that you left behind
Stealin’ away out of sight
Just like a thief in the night

No one saw you coming, no one saw you leave
It’s all part of your game
You got a whole lot of dirty tricks up your sleeve
Sneaking through the night, feelin’ no shame

You tried to leave the scene without a trace
But your evil scheme’s gonna fall apart
Cause all the evidence will fall into place
Your fingerprints all over my broken heart

The moon is your partner in crime
Just like the ghosts of the past that you left behind
Stealin’ away out of sight
Just like a thief in the night

Cold Comfort

(Reiter)

It’s been raining for ten days straight
The sky don’t look like it’s gonna break
Trying to figure out just how I got hurt
You must have stabbed me in the back and left me face down in the dirt

Reaching for your warmth, but the bed’s stone cold
Still trying to make sense of all the lies you told
Wrapping myself in a thin old blanket on this freezing night
It ain’t enough to keep me warm from the chill outside

But cold comfort is better than none
Cold comfort is all that’s left since you’re gone
Cold comfort takes the edge off the pain
But cold comfort baby won’t stop the rain

Maybe the sun will find its way
Through all these clouds someday
Maybe this flood will finally run dry
But even blue skies won’t explain why
You left me standing in the rain

Cold comfort is better than none
Cold comfort is all that’s left since you’re gone
Cold comfort takes the edge off the pain
But cold comfort won’t stop the rain

Cold comfort is better than none
Cold comfort is all that’s left since you’re gone
Cold comfort takes the edge off the pain
But cold comfort won’t stop the rain
I said cold comfort baby won't stop the rain

You Can Count On Me

(Reiter)

In the darkest night
I’ll be there for you
If you need a little light baby
To help you see things through
Whenever life ain’t fair
Just call me cause I care
Whatever it may be
You can count on me

If your world’s grown cold
Just come into my arms, baby
With all my heart and soul
I’m gonna keep you warm
I’ll drop by late at night
Make everything all right
Whatever it may be
You can count on me

You can count on me when you’re lonely
You can count on me when you’re down
You know you can count on me baby
Cause I’ll always be around

You can count on me when you’re lonely
You can count on me when life ain’t fair
You know you can count on me baby
Cause I’ll always be there

You know you can count on me baby
You know you can count on me
I'll make everything alright
You know you can count on me baby
'Cause I'll always be around, baby
