V1)
Don't say a word, don't say a thing
Don't say anymore, I can't think
I can't, I can't
Just wanted you to understand
All I was asking was just
A chance, one chance
I'm trying to simply love you
But I can't get through
CH)
Cuz she got the claim on your heart
And I got the broken parts
And she got the best of you
I get the rest of you
V2)
I'm not her, she's not me
Why is it so hard to see
I'm not to blame
But nothing I do proves it to you
Time and again I must pay for her mistakes
I'm dying to simply love you
Just let me through
(repeat CH)
BR)
I know you told her that it's over
But her ghost keeps coming back
And with her breathing over my shoulder
How can I compete with that
Baby I can't
If she got your body and soul
Then I've gotta know what's left for me
CH2)
She got the claim on your heart
And I got the broken parts
And she got the best of you
I get what's left of you
What's left of you
Left of you

V1:
Heard it said that love can move mountains
But I could never get close to him
A million miles between his voice and me
Not about to let me in
And it's the hardest thing
To let him bleed
But that's the only choice he leaves me
CH:
I cannot bear his cross
I cannot ease his pain
I cannot cleanse his soul
Or wash away his shame
I cannot be his truth
Or overcome his fear
There isn't any use
In crying Alan's tears
V2:
Blinded by the sins of the father
He doesn't know his strength of heart
But if he won't believe then I can't make him see
I'm not enough to heal those scars
So I give up the ghost
And I'll let him go
No matter how I want to keep hold
(CH)
(Guitar solo)
And it's the hardest thing
to watch you bleed
And even though inside this kills me
(CH2)
I know I cannot bear your cross
I cannot ease your pain
I cannot cleanse your soul
Or wash away your shame
I cannot be your truth
Or overcome your fear
There isn't any use
I cannot, I will not
There's no use

V1)
Childhood, my eyes full of wonder
At what life will offer
Growin' up, my soul unaffected
And overprotected
Did what I was taught
Learning right from wrong
Woman, goodbye adolescence
Goodbye innocence
I learned how a heart becomes jaded
And a soul becomes tainted
Still have hope in my sights
Lookin' for the keys to life
CH)
I wanna know why my heart breaks
At the memory of a kiss
I wanna see where I am goin'
Is there ever more than this
I wanna read between the lines
And hear more than what I'm told
I wanna know, I want to know
What the angels know
Someday I'll lose my luster
My days will be numbered
Did I make good decisions
Accomplish my missions
Will I be old and wise
Or was I living a lie
(CH)
The best laid plans may not hold
So let the mysteries unfold
(CH)

V1)
Down this road go I
A new world before my eyes
With broken feet I'll go
And it's so dark tonight
But my heart still feels allright
I believe I've got the soul
God help me I'm afraid
To abandon yesterday
But I'll have it no other way
CH)
Freedom
I'm finding my way back home
Freedom
I'm finding my own road
V2)
I'm not what you think
No, you never knew me
Didn't think I had the strength
But I'm made of tougher stuff
The years have proved as much
No, my spirit did not break
And if I feel lonely here
There's a whisper in my ear
The end is drawing near
(CH)

V1)
Look at you there smilin' like a saint
I ain't worried 'bout what you are babe
I am worried 'bout what you ain't
I don't think you can keep me satisfied
Truly satisfied
I'm tired of the same low class routine
All of these games make a little girl mean
Give me somethin' that I can keep
Somethin' that can keep me satisfied
Truly satisfied
Well I don't want your money
You don't got to pay my rent
I just want somebody
Who can be a man outside of bed
CH)
I need a man who can keep me satsfied
Cuz true love is hard to find
I want you to make it worth my time
Then I'll be truly satisfied
V2)
Baby have a seat we'll go over the list
There's a couple things I think you missed
I need more than a fiery kiss
Somethin' more to keep me satisfied
Truly satisfied
I need a man who is strong and sure
Loves his woman with a heart that's pure
Someone who'll let me be his world
These are the things that keep me satisfied
Truly satisfied
Listen to me honey
It's as simple as I said
I want you to love me
But I'm gonna put you to the test
(CH)

V1)
I like to drive myself just a little crazy
And I like to pity myself when I'm feeling lazy
I'm slow to take the blame when all my plans go wrong
But if I can point a finger, man it does not take me long
Well I'm good at being ugly and bad at being good
But I don't know how to change it, I just wish I could
CH)
When will I find sunshine in the rain
Any minute these clouds are gonna break
I keep thinking that love is on the way
When will I find sunshine in the rain
V2)
Sometimes I'm much too frightened to even make a start
Feels like it's been declared open season on my heart
When I decide to close the door, you are not to knock
Nothing you do can get you in and no one can break the lock
Well I'm tired of being angry and sick of crying too
I just want to be happy, what's a girl to do
(CH)
(guitar solo)
I know beggars can't be choosers so I guess I'll just make do
Gonna carry this umbrella till the sun comes through
(CH2)
When will I find sunshine in the rain
Any minute these clouds are gonna break
I keep thinking that love is here to stay
When will I find sunshine in the rain

V1)
You can't run
You can't scream till it goes away
You can't sleep it off
Morning comes to stare you back in the face
Stare you back in the face
You can't hide
You can't build a wall around your soul
You can't hop a train
And hope the truth won't follow where it goes
Follow you where it goes
Run litte boy from what's inside you
Run little girl I am right beside you
CH)
Your destination is peace
When you think you're heart is empty
But there's still some power left
A little bit is plenty
Just a little bit
It's all you need
And your destiny is peace
V2)
You're a snake
Slithering out of hell
But your sight is poor
It's been so long since you've been to the well
Since you've been to the well
You're a mouse
Burrowing in the wall
But the cat is quick
And he's sure to find you out no time at all
In just no time at all
Run little boy from what's inside you
Run little girl I am right beside you
(CH)

V1)
Everybody's saying if there ever was a fool
Well it surely must be me baby, to believe the likes of you
Like candy from a stranger, got sugar in your kiss
I did not know the danger, ignorance is bliss
Oh if I had only known
You were leaving slow like
CH1)
Honey
Slipping away from me
You're just like
Honey
When are, when are you leaving me
V2)
I'm stuck and I am stranded in an amber pool of love
And just as I'd surrendered, you had given up
Lord won't you save me now
For I am about to drown in
(CH2)
Honey
Slipping away from me
You're just like
Honey
The pain is bittersweet just like
Honey
When are, when are you leaving me
Br)
You give up fast, you go out slow, just like honey
You give up fast, you go out slow, just like honey
You give up fast, you go out slow, just like honey
You give up fast, you go out slow
You're just like, just like, just like
(CH)

Personally, my favorite song by Darci is, My Own Road. It's sooooo passionate, and filled with an emotion that I can't describe. The chorus grabs my heart, and pulls me in, and I actually cried the first time I heard it, for some reason.

Y'all are totally making me blush. Thanks for doing this!
