The Element Of Freedom (Deluxe

Alicia Keys The Element Of Freedom (Deluxe Lyrics
1.The Element Of Freedom (Intro)

( - )

And the day came
When the risk it took
To remain tight and closed in the bud
Was more painful
Than the risk it took bloom

This is the element of freed


2.Love Is Blind



See people don't see what I see
Even when they're right there
Standing next to me
And all of my friends think I'm crazy for loving you
But they don't know
There's nothing else I can do

And it's too bad 'cause love is blind
oh oh oh
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
oh oh oh oh oh
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
eh eh eh
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
oh oh oh oh oh

See people don't know what I know
They think I'm losing my mind
I know I'm losing control
Eh eh eh ehhh
All of my friends think I'm crazy but I don't care
I'm over the edge, no turning back
I belong to you I swear
Hey

And it's too bad 'cause love is blind
eh eh eh
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
come on
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
eh eh hey yeah
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
oh oh oh oh oh

Eeeehhh ehhhh
Oh oh uoh (x4)

And it's too bad 'cause love is blind
oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
eh eh eh
it's too bad 'cause love is blind
oh oh oh oh oh -

Eeeehhh ehhhh
Oh oh uoh (x4)


3.Doesn't Mean Anything



Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
But if i'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there
cause its over
That just wont be fair, darling.

I'd rather be a poor woman living on the street,
No food to eat
'Cause i don't want no pie if i have to cry
'Cause it's over
When you said goodbye

All at once
I had it all
But it doesnt mean anything
Now that youre gone
From above, seems i had it all
But it doesnt mean anything
Since youre gone

Now i see myself through different eyes
It's no surprise
But being alone would make you realize, when it's over
All in love is fair
I shoulda been there, i shoulda been there, i shoulda shoulda

All at once
I had it all
But it doesnt mean anything
Now that youre gone
From above, seems i had it all
But it doesnt mean anything
Since youre gone

I know i pushed you away
What can i do that would save our love
Take these material things
They don't mean nothing
Its you that i want

All at once
I had it all
But it doesnt mean anything
Now that youre gone
From above, seems i had it all
But it doesnt mean anything
Since youre gone
I shoulda been there, i shoulda been there, i shoulda shoulda

All at once
I had it all
But it doesnt mean anything
Now that youre gone


4.Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart



Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even in the bottom of the sea
I can still hear inside my head
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time you were telling me lies

So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart
Well you can try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, only, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown, you make my body feel heaven-bound
Why don't you hold me, need me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me

Looking in the sky I can see your face
And i knew right where I'd fit in
Take me, make me
You know that I'll always be in love with you
Right til the end

So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could have told you right from the start
It's bout fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
Or just hold onto love
And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight

So tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you


5.Wait Til You See My Smile



When the wind is blowing in your face
sometimes in life you don't see straight
Wait for him he will show

When your head is in a certain place
Nobody around to make you say
Stand strong and you will go

oooooooooooooo
wait till you see my smile
oooooooooooooo
wait till they see your smile

don't they love to see you down
kick you while you are in the ground
don't let any emotions show

people always make you late
don't let them get in your way
see they say things they don't know

oooooooooooooo
wait till you see my smile
oooooooooooooo
wait till they see your smile

Hey
So don't you look better now
Everybody comes around
cause you don't really need much
Just don't go in and your better ready for whatever
saying

oooooooooooooo
wait till you see my smile
oooooooooooooo
wait till they see your smile

oooooooooooooo
wait till you see my smile
oooooooooooooo
wait till they see your smile, smile


6.That's How Strong My Love Is



Some people call me crazy
For falling in love with you
Then can take me and love away baby
Cause there is nothing else they can do

I will be the rising moon and setting sun
Just to let you know that you always have someone
I will be the clearest day when the rain is done
So you will always know

Through a shake of an earthquake
I will never fall
That's how strong my love is
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all
That's how strong my love is

I use to feel kinda lonely
Cause in our world it so fake
No matter what i'm telling you
It's me and you only
And the fortunes of love we make

I will be the one you need in the desert land
Just to let you know you will always have my hand
I will be the woman you need to be a better man
So you will always know

Through a shake of an earthquake
I will never fall
That's how strong my love is
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all
That's how strong my love is

Oh, can nothing break us down
Oh, cause we are heaven bound
Like the mountian standing tall
And moving over here to stay
Oh,can nothing get in the way

Through a shake of an earthquake
I will never fall(i will never fall)
That's how strong my love is(that's how strong my love is)
Like a ship through the storm
We can risk it all(we can risk it all)
That's how strong my love is(that love is)

Through the deepest water
I'll never let you drown
That's how strong my love is
Like the moon in the sky
That it would never come down
That's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is


7.Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready) (featuring Drake)

( ~ )

Moment of honesty
Someones gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell u while it comes to me
If u have something to say
U should say it right now

U give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
Its become something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable will it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready

I know u said to me
'This is exactly how it should feel when its meant to be'
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually
If we gonna do something about it
We should do it right now

U give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
Its become something that's impossible to ignore
Its what we make it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable will it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready

Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can't say I can't compare
I'm suspended it the air
Won't u come be in the sky with me

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable will it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready


8.Love Is My Disease



When your gone it feels like,
My whole worlds gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now its my disease
I try to act mature
But i'm a baby when you leave
How can i ever get used to being without you

Baby, baby, baby, baby
In my addictive
When i need you here all the time
And i'm not sure if this is healthy
Is it a sickness
Cos i feel like i'm losing my mind

And i know that theres no medicine
Nothing i can take, no remedy
Baby please stay

When your gone it feels like,
My whole worlds gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now its my disease (my disease)
I try to act mature
But i'm a baby when you leave
How can i ever get used to being without you

Oh oh oh baby baby baby baby
I get a fever
Just the thought of you leaving my side
Ohohhhh
Its not the same till your back holding me
Thats all i need

When your gone it feels like (when your gone baby)
My whole worlds gone with you (gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
But now its my disease (my disease)
I try to act mature
But i'm a baby when you leave
How can i ever get used to being without you

Heres what i'm going through when your gone
Some serious symptoms of withdrawal
So sick of turning in my bed
Waking up drenched in a cold sweat
Lying here lonely for you
What am i suppose to do
When im stuck and i cant get enough of your lovvvee

Ohohohwoahhh baby

When your gone it feels like (when your gone baby)
My whole worlds gone with you (gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
But now its my disease (my disease)
I try to act mature
But i'm a baby when you leave
How can i ever get used to being without you


9.Like The Sea



Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
First your floating high
Then takes you takes you
Under under

When its cold
Cold under water
In the night time
But i dove
Dove to the bottom
To see what i find

Thats when i saw a light
A glowing paradise
Thought i stay a while
Its been calling me underwater
Everything that i ever dream

Taking my breath away
Current got a hold on me
Sweeping me away
Wish i can stay
Takes me to the top
The cycle that never stops

Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
First your floating high
Then takes you takes you
Under under

(Takes you takes you over)
(Takes you takes you under)
(Takes you takes you over)over
(Takes you takes you under)

Say i been told
Told you only find it once in a lifetime
So you better hold
Hold on strongeer then ever
Like its the last time

So when you see the night
Like a ship in the night
You will found a place
You been looking for
Like a distant shore
Don't you ever look back again

Here is something you should know
Still see you are still in control
Cheish everyday
Cause never know
It can take away
The very thing you love the most

Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
First your floating high
Then takes you takes you
Under under

(Tkes you takes you over) oh
(Takes you takes you under) so far
(Tkes you takes you over)
(Tkes you takes you under)this love like the sea

(Tkes you takes you over)
(akes you takes you under)can you feel the pull
(Tkes you takes you over)its calling you
(Tkes you takes you under)

Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
Then it pulls you in
Then it takes you, takes you
Over, over
Love is like the sea
Gets on your knees
First your floating high
Then takes you takes you
Under under

14.Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down

( - )

Oooh oooh, New York (2x)

Grew up in a town,
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere
That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway

Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than from an empty fridge

I'm going to make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compared
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah, yeah yeah

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York


15.Through It All



In the morning when you wake
When I wanna face today and all your heartache
Thinking how much can you take
Please don't ever loose a faith and don't fall under

In a world that seems to get colder & colder
Don't you worry cuz
My love will only get stronger & stronger

Cuz I I I I I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I I I I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all
Through it all

Don't think about the past, don't worry bout the future
Just live in the moment
Long as there's another day here will be another way
A chance to make it through

In a world that seems to get colder & colder
Don't you worry cuz
My love will only get stronger & stronger

Cuz I I I I I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I I I I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all

When you're down and out
Loosing dignity
Don't let go of me (hold on)
Surely there's is a brighter day right in front of me (hold on)
If you really looked inside
You would finally realise
You don't have to cry (no more)
All you have to do is see
That you can beleive in me
And I will never leave

Cuz I I I I I'm gonna love you gonna hold ya through it all
I I I I'm gonna love you gonna never let you fall
Through it all


16.Pray For Forgiveness



Beautiful garden, where have you gone
My self delusions are leaving me in the storm
Taking for granted, all the goodness that ive found
Somewhere i lost all, the control came crashing down

And i pray for forgiveness
Look for the answer
Cause its hard
For me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Cant you see
This state that im in
No one would notice
Nobody noticed
Cause its me where it begins

Beautiful morning, please dont wake me from my sleep
Cause i need some comfort, to regain my sanity
I dont wanna to feel this crazy
I dont wanna to feel this heartache
Shall I that ? it in peaces
Im so broken hearted
No where left to run
No where left to go
So i hope

I pray for forgiveness
Look for the answer
Cause its hard for me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Cant you see
This state that im in
And no one would notice
Nobody noticed
That its me, where it begins
And i pray for forgiveness within

I swear that everyday i feel like my mind is haunting me
I think of every little stupid mistake that has been made
This time ill have the strength to gather myself
Im falling to pieces

And i pray for forgiveness
Look for the answer
Cause its hard for me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Cant you see
This state that im in
Pray for forgiveness
Looking for justice
Searching for answers
Call to my mother
Pray for forgiveness
Breaking the silence

Nobody knows it, nobody noticed
Thats it me
Where it begins
