Journey

[Verse]
Hold me... Let me dry those tears for you
Be the healer... Of your heart he broke in two
I wanna hold you close... But somethin' tells me
To wait
Is it too soon to touch, to reach for the love that you hide away
Talk to me... Tell me with your eyes
What did he do... To make you feel this way inside

[Chorus]
Empty words, and promises made
I'm not that way
Come to me and don't be afraid
I'm not that way
Silence... Was meant to be broken
Like waves on the shore let your tears wash away these emotions
I can't change the world, I can change your mind
I'll always be here, for you until you realize

[Chorus]
Empty words, and promises made
I'm not that way
Broken trust... A failure in faith
I'm not that way
I'm not that way
Because life's too short for wasting
Wasting precious time
If time is what you need baby
I'll give you all of mine

[Outro]
One day you're going to look at me
And love is what you'll find
Empty words, and promises made
I'm not that way
Come to me
Bring back your faith
Don't be afraid
I'm not that way[x2]
I want to hold you
I want to hold you close
Let me hear your heart baby

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
