WHAT PART OF MY BODY HURTS THE MOST

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now, and let's see

There times in the still of the night
When I don't think I'll get over you
But I got no choice — I must
There are times when I need a new light
When your darkness has dissolved
And I can see — but only just

You'll always be here with me, you're a ghost and I've been cursed
But if you were excorcised, it would only make it worse
A demon or angel — it doesn't matter all that much
I toss and I turn every night and I try to feel your touch

And I can't stop wondering
I can't stop wondering

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now and let's see

Is it my arms? Always reaching out, but you're never there
Is it my legs? Running after your image as it soon disappears
Is it my lips? I can trace all the kisses that I missed in the night
Is it my eyes? I can still see a vision of you but it's out of my sight
You're always out of my sight

And I'll never get away from…
Never get away from it

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now, lets see

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now, let's see
Faster than the speed of love
Love, love (for crying out loud)

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now and we'll see

BRAVER THAN WE ARE

Pretty much the same as the DOTV-versions, with an new verse:

Girl:
There are secrets I never can tell
There are shadows of darkness and heaven
There are so many suburbs of hell
And their hours are 24/7

NOT ALLOWED TO LOVE

Boy:
I am not allowed to love, not allowed to fall
It seems that after all some rules must be unbroken
I am not allowed to swoon, romanticize or croon
The beauty of your eyes must still remain unspoken

But my head will be unbowed
I'm certainly no fool
I'm no fool
For I know I'll always be allowed
To find exceptions to the rule

Girl:
I'm not allowed to love, not admit career / 'til they legalize it here
There's just so little time — I can afford to be wrong
I'm not allowed to cry, tremble, whimper, sigh
These signs of weakness are avoided — I must be strong

The pessimism must be disavowed
Life couldn't be so cruel
Be so cruel
And I know, a girl must be allowed
To find exceptions to the rules....

Both:
But my head will unbowed
I'm certainly no fool
I'm no fool
For I know I'll always be allowed
To find exceptions to the rules

Boy:
Say that you will
I'll hang on every word
I'll hang on every letter

Nothing's gonna change the truth:
My night is better

Both:
Nothing's gonna change the truth:
My night is better....

SPEAKING IN TONGUES

Ooh-ee-oooh
Ooh-ee-oooh

For a mighty oak to grow
You got to plant a tiny seed
Words are all you know
Body language is what you need

Now I can barely breathe
Your fragrance fill my lungs
It's time we started speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues

Ooh-ee-oooh
Ooh-ee-oooh

It's time to start a fire
And I know we'll make it good
We're overflowing with desire
You got the spark — I got wood

We got to let our voices soar
More than any song we've ever sung
It's time that we start speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues

Ooh-ee-oooh
Speaking in tongues
Ooh
In tongues

(IT HURTS) ONLY WHEN I FEEL

There are things I have come to believe
Since the new resurection of love
There are visions I finally see
There are signs everywhere, they're below and above

There are things that I finally know
There are secrets and dreams never seen in the light
And we're suddenly plunged in the dark
Our soul is a beast that goes bump in the night

There are endless nights, they just go on forever
There are scars on scars that I know will never heal
There's relentless pain — it tortures me forever
I've got to pretend it ain't real

But at least it only hurts
At least it only hurts… only when I feel

It hurts only when I feel....

Give me some words I can live by
Give me commandments to know
Give me some fables and proverbs
Give me some signs where to go

I'm a desperate, lonely child and I don't have enough
I've come to know the rules of all the scriptures of love

If it ain't real — fake it!
If it ain't yours — take it!
If it's all gone bad — forsake it!
And if it ain't broke — break it!

If it ain't real — fake it!
If it ain't yours — take it!
If it's all gone bad — forsake it!
And if it ain't broke — break it!

Everything I've ever dreamed of
Has begun to fade to black
I don't know where I ever lost love
Or where to go now to get it back

There are designated angels who just might save our soul
They give me rules to live by — and that's all that I know

If it ain't real — fake it!
If it ain't yours — take it!
If it don't exist — you make it!
And if it ain't broke — break it!

If it ain't real — fake it!
If it ain't yours — take it!
If it's all gone bad — forsake it!
And if it ain't broke — break it....

There are endless nights, they just goes on forever
Scars on scars that I know will never heal
There's a ruthless pain that tortures me forever
I've got to pretend it ain't real...

At least it only hurts…
At least it only hurts… only when I feel!

At least it only hurts…
At least it only hurts…
At least it only hurts…
At least it only hurts… only when I feel

It hurts only when I feel

If it ain't real — fake it!
If it ain't yours — take it!
If it don't exist — you make it!
And if it ain't broke — break it!

If it ain't real — fake it!
If it ain't yours — take it!
If it's fallen asleep — you wake it!
And if it ain't broke — break it!
