How to change your life in a day



While many instantly life-changing experiences – such as meeting the love of your life or winning the lottery – may seem like a symptom of fate and not something we can control, there are many things you can do in a day to help change the course of your life forever.


Discover your passion
Fed up of drifting through your days with a lack of purpose and sense of fulfillment? Jazz up your routine by taking some time to consider what it is that would make you feel happy and fulfilled. What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning? What makes you feel really alive? Think about the activities that have made you feel this way – even if you have to reflect back to things you haven’t done since you were child – and make a plan to incorporate these into your life.

Take a first step
As stated by the Lao Tzu, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. No matter how overwhelming your ambitions may seem, you will never achieve anything unless you take that first step and get started. Whether you want to write a novel, run a marathon or learn a new language, make today a day to remember by making it the day you start pursuing your dream.


Sign up
Due to lack of time, energy or motivation, we often end up putting off our dreams and goals for “another day” which may never actually arrive. To help boost your motivation, make a commitment to doing something life-changing today, such as signing up for voluntary work abroad, entering a challenging fitness event or even signing up to an online dating site. By signing up and committing yourself in writing you will feel more obliged to go through with your plans.


Chat to someone new
Our relationships and the people we surround ourselves with have a huge impact on our happiness and quality of life. Therefore, it is important to take every opportunity you can to expand your circle of friends and make room for someone new. Whether they could be your new best friend, introduce you to the love of your life or become a great new career contact, you never know the impact someone could have on your life. Make today a potentially life-changing day by making time to chat to someone new – be it a colleague you have never spoken to or that friendly girl in your yoga class.


Make a decision
If you’ve been putting off a big decision for a while, make today the day you take control of your future and decide. Give yourself a deadline of the end of the day and spend some time seriously pondering your choices. Consider the implications of each outcome, weigh up the pros and cons and seek a second opinion to help you make the right decision. Then, once your deadline is up, go with your gut instinct and start planning for the path you have chosen.


Clear out the clutter
Our lives tend to be filled with clutter, both of the metaphorical and literal variety. To help make room for the positive new things in your life, try clearing out the junk that’s weighing you down. Firstly, have a spring clean of your home and get rid of all the stuff you no longer need.  Not only will this give you space for more useful things, but it can also boost your mental health. Secondly, think about all the happiness drains in your life you may need to think about getting rid of – such as unhappy relationships or an unfulfilling job. Thirdly, try decluttering your mind by starting to let go of all the negative emotions you may be harboring.


Change your mindset
To give your mind that essential spring clean, you need to make a conscious decision to let go of negative emotions such as anger or regret or any grudges you have been holding on to. It’s not easy but it’s important to remember that holding on to these will not change the past; it will only ruin your present. Maybe consider talking to a counsellor if you think this is something you will struggle with. Also, make a decision that from today onwards you will start to adopt a more positive outlook. Try creating a “happiness diary” to help you, where you jot down the positive things that have occurred each day, no matter how little they may be.


Break a bad habit
While it will take more than one day to break a bad habit, often getting started is the most difficult thing. If you’ve been promising yourself that you’re going to ditch a bad habit for a while, make today the day you take the plunge. Set yourself a specific and measurable goal and write down how you can achieve it, breaking it down into small steps. Next, think about telling somebody about your goal. Sharing your intentions can make them seem more ‘real’ and make you more motivated to see them through.


Write it down
Once you have decided on your plan of action for changing your life and made your first steps to achieving this change, it is important to write it down. Having vague plans in your head is all well and good, but getting it down on paper will help to give you a clear plan to follow and help you feel like you are already on the way to achieving something. Write down what you have down today, what you can build on going forwards and how you can ultimately bring about the life you want.


Learn to enjoy being you
One of the biggest mistakes we too often make is relying on external things to make us happy, which means putting our happiness in the hands of fate or other people. Make a life-changing decision today to take control of your happiness by learning to be happy with who you are, regardless of the situations you are in. Make a list of all the good qualities you have to offer and all the reasons you are completely loveable, then keep this list somewhere handy to look at every time you need a boost.


Can laughter therapy boost your health?



How laughter therapy could improve your lifestyle
Laughter has long been associated with happiness and emotional release, but now researchers are suggesting that watching a side-splitting film or comedy show could also do wonders for your health. With the rise of ‘laughter therapy’ classes and even laughter-inspired yoga, is it really possible that a good chuckle (or three) could boost your mental and physical health?
What is laughter therapy?

Depression may not seem like such a laughing matter, but certain therapists believe they have struck upon the perfect solution to banish society’s malaise. Pioneered by the Indian physician Dr Madan Kataria, ‘laughter therapy’ has become a surprise hit amongst those looking to beat credit crunch stress through enjoyable yet strenuous exercise.
Laughter therapy groups are a growing trend in the western world, with people seeking to banish their everyday concerns and fears through a variety of hearty chuckles, light giggles and rumbling belly-laughs. Though certainly not for the faint of heart, this form of therapy aims to promote a number of laughter-inspired health benefits. Developing group camaraderie through jokes, funny memories and, yes, chortling contests, laughter therapy is both fun and friendly, emphasizing that laughter needn't be restricted to happy moments but can even boost the mind when it’s forced.
Can laughter therapy really develop your health and fitness?

We’re not having a laugh with you here ... Studies by American researchers have found that laughter therapy is a viable form of cardiovascular (CV) exercise, powerfully working out the body’s heart and lungs in the same way that a rowing or bike machine session might. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that laughter boasts a wide range of health and fitness benefits, aiding everything from stress relief through to blood flow. The following points describe just some of the many key areas that laughter exercise can improve.
Emotional release through laughter — If you’re the kind of person who stores up all emotion, becoming more and more anxious simply to keep a brave face, laughter could really help you release all your pent-up feelings. In the same way that primal scream therapy gets rid of inner demons, loud and lengthy laughter offers a fine way of venting your spleen. You’ll be feeling smiles better in no time!
Beating stress, fear and anger through laughter — This is no joke ... laughter really can elevate your mood away from the everyday fears and worries that make life less enjoyable. Scientists have suggested that the body can’t actually tell the difference between real and fake laughter so even if you’re feeling down in the dumps, a strenuous fake chuckle could still trigger happiness hormones in your brain.
Burning calories through laughter — As well as relieving stress and cooped-up emotions, laughter therapy offers an even better physical punch-line. By working out a number of key muscles, a hearty belly-laugh can really cut down your calories. Some studies have indicated that a strenuous, one-minute laugh could burn as many calories as 10 minutes spent on a rowing or bike machine. What a wheeze, eh?
Boosting blood flow through laughter — Studies have found that laughing exercise can raise the flow of blood in the body by as much as 22 per cent, as the heart and lungs work harder to supply oxygen to key muscles. As well as boosting blood flow, relaxed arteries also help regulate blood pressure at normal levels. So why not give laughter therapy a try? You’ll soon feel a ho-ho-whole lot better!
Boosting the immune system through laughter — Even if you’re immune to the concept of smiling, you certainly won’t be when it comes to preventing certain illnesses. Thankfully though, help is at hand ... if you’re just willing to lighten up a bit! A quick dose of laughter could seriously boost the immune system of even the most purse-lipped prude. Research has found that the body’s level of killer cells — essential in attacking viruses and cancers —are significantly increased after a laughing session. In contrast, these killer cells are reduced during lengthy periods of stress. So if you want to stay healthy and free of disease, it might be time you enjoyed a good laugh ...
Whilst it may not be for everyone, laughter therapy has clearly helped a number of people to combat mental and physical pressures through heart-warming and expressive chuckling. Even if you don’t fancy bursting into giggles amongst a group of strangers, it’s just as easy to enjoy laughter therapy at home, simply by watching a funny film or TV show. So don’t be a clown... why not try laughter therapy today? You’ll be a laughing stock if you don’t!


How to Lose Her in One Week



Once you overcome a few nerves, getting past the first date hurdle isn't too hard – it's maintaining a constant attraction and moving into the relationship zone afterwards that many guys find that they start to lose the girl. What are you doing wrong?

Be predictable

If you really like someone, chances are you've set the bar really high to impress them in the first few dates: You've gone to romantic dinner places, came up with mysterious date ideas, and acted like the kind of guy every girl wants: the creative and unpredictable romantic.

The problem with that schtick, however, is that you're acting like the guy every girl wants. Sooner or later, the act's going to get blown and you'll soon revert to the standard-fare dinner-movie date ideas. So while you may be interested in her, she, however, will take the back-peddling to “regular” dates as a sign that you're uninterested and giving up the chase.

Solution: Don't go all out to impress her all the time – as we've said before, it's not your job to entertain her by playing the role of her ideal date. There's nothing wrong with the regular date – if she likes you, enjoying your company should be what matters – as long as you mix it up occasionally with something special once every two or three dates.

Call or text her all the time

No one likes to be a pest; the guy or girl who constantly bugs their date for attention, and gets insulted when there's no reply. A person who does that says two things about themselves: (1) They're insecure about themselves and need constant validation that someone likes them; and (2) they can't respect a person's time and space.

The bottom line is this: if she likes you, she'll text back soon. And if she doesn't pick up the phone? Don't call again and again as if you're having a heart attack – leave her a polite text about what you wanted to say.

Solution: If she doesn't reply to your messages immediately a few times, it doesn't mean she's brushing you off. But, if she does it most of the time, and her answers are curt and non-committal, chances are she's not interested. And so what? Pick yourself up again and move on. Remember: Attraction's a two-way street, and you won't change her mind by pestering her.

Don't take charge

“I'll do anything you want to, dear” is the last thing you'd want to say to a girl. It speaks of an indecisive character. Be proactive; make suggestions about where to go or what to do, and nudge her if she's undecided about something out of her comfort zone. This isn't to say that your decisions are final and not up to negotiation – that's just being inconsiderate and chauvinistic.

Solution: Always take the initiative to ask her out, plan the night out, and when the time comes, know when to make the first move. If you want to lose her within a week, be passive and do nothing.

Second guess what she feels

It's normal in wanting to have a sense of control over the relationship. You want to be the guy who anticipates what she feels, knows what to say at the right time, is so connected to her that you can finish her sentence before she does.

The truth is, there's nothing more annoying than a guy who wants to get into her head and anticipate her thoughts before she can speak them. These wants may be well-intentioned, but carry on and she'll soon be pleading for some “space”, with a break up inevitable.

Solution: Don't try too hard, son. There are some thoughts that women choose to reveal to other people besides you. Don't pester her with constant questions of “What are you feeling/thinking right now?”. More importantly, don't assume the reasons for her annoyed emotions and tell her your theory. You'll always be wrong.

Playing too hard to get

You may think waiting a week or two before sending a text will make her want you more, but by that point any girl will have moved on to the next guy that comes along. Screw playing games here: make your move or else she’ll make hers—on someone else.

Solution: After a date, just send a text message saying that you had a nice time, and look forward to the next time when you meet again. That way, the ball's in her court, and it's up to her to make the next move.

Crazy About Her? Send Her the Right Signals

You can be straight up but where’s the fun in that? Be sure you send out the right signals...
Be yourself. Nothing is sexier than a man who’s comfortable in his own skin, be it a wild child or a nerd.
Treat service staff with respect. How you treat them is a sneak preview into your attitude towards other people, especially her. She’ll be paying attention. She always does.
Switch off the phone or put it on silent and put it away. Make sure she’s the object of your attention for the entire night, not your shiny new smartphone.


10 reasons your crush picked the other girl




One of the worst feelings ever is finding out that the guy you have a crush on likes someone else. What’s worse is if the other girl’s a mutual friend – that is, you’re obliged to feign happiness while watching the blissful couple cooing at each other all day.
It’s a weird situation to be in. You want to know why he chose her, but any answer other than “Huh, you like me? Okay, I've changed my mind,” would cast you into a tempest of self-loathing. If the guy’s a decent person, he’ll spare you the details.

1. He liked her even before he met you
Sorry, girl. Finding love is about being in the right place at the right time, and unfortunately, she got there before you did. If he’s had his heart set on her all along, don’t try so hard to present yourself as the better alternative. Just know that even if he did go for you instead, the girl he liked before you might always remain in his mind as a giant “what if.”

2.  He didn't know how you felt
Maybe he didn't think he had a chance with you, while the other girl’s intentions were obvious. Sometimes you don’t consider the other person as relationship material because you didn't think there was anything brewing between you to begin with. Nobody likes being rejected, so unless he was dead set on having you no matter what (which clearly wasn't the case), he’s going to pursue somebody more available.

3. She threw herself at him and he couldn't resist
More than one of our male friends have admitted that they were won over by pure persistence. If you've ever been a little grossed out seeing a girl throwing herself at a guy who’s clearly less invested than she is, well, it’s a thousand times more maddening when she’s doing it to the guy you like – and he goes for it! “How can a guy like someone so desperate?”In a perfect world, you think, you’d have been rewarded for showing a little more dignity. But maybe he simply had more opportunities to get to know her since she was always around, while you were barely a blip on his radar.

4. She presented more of a challenge
On the other hand, some guys like the chase and the uncertainty. Maybe you were the one overselling yourself, while she talked to him as if she had nothing to prove. If you were a little too available, he might have gotten bored and decided to pursue the more ‘mysterious’ girl.

5. His friends encouraged him to date her
Maybe they’re friends with her and have always dreamed of seeing the two of them as a couple. Or maybe they simply have more insight into him as a person than you do, and recognize that he and the other girl are a better match. In that case, you dodged a bullet by not dating a guy whose friends aren't that into you. Relationships are always easier when you know that your partner’s friends have your back.

6. You’re in the friend zone  
People always ask if it’s possible for girls to be in the friend zone. Or if the friend zone even exists. But we’re here to tell you that if your crush has always seen you as “one of the guys” or as his “best bud,” it’s going to be a lot harder to distract him from that attractive girl he just met two weeks ago. Chances are, he doesn't even put the two of you in the same category of women.
If you’re tired of being in the friend zone, don’t just hang around, being the ultra-dependable girl secretly pining for her best friend. Reinvent yourself, date other people, be less available to him, and hope that he’ll eventually see “the new you” in the way that you want to be seen.

7. He was more attracted to her physically
This one’s a tough pill to swallow, but the other girl has a natural advantage if she’s more of his physical type than you are. That doesn't mean that you’re less attractive than her, it just means that when it comes to this guy, you always had your work cut out for you. Think about it in terms of food.
If you prefer pasta to pizza, then you’re probably going to order linguine over a calzone while eating Italian. Sure, you can still enjoy the latter, but it’s never going to be your first choice. At any rate, it’s better to date someone who can’t help liking you than date with someone who has to work at it.

8. You let your nervousness get the best of you
Lots of women freeze up when confronted by the man of their dreams. Some guys like a cute, bubbly girl who can’t quite hide her nervousness. But if you’re the type who shuts down around guys that you like, now would be a good time to develop some self-confidence. It’s not easy to have chemistry with someone who gives off a passive, frigid impression. Make more male friends and go out in mixed-gender groups, which are less intimidating than being around a whole bunch of guys.
With a little bit of time, you’ll become comfortable and confident enough to be natural when you’re with a person you’re interested in.

9. It was never a competition to begin with
It’s easy to get caught up in this narrative of “me versus her,” but if he didn't like you in the first place, then he never had to choose between the two of you. You just happened to be someone (perhaps one of many) who also liked him. Instead of obsessing over how she was the winner and you were the loser, or how she “snatched” him away from you before you had a chance, keep in mind that if it wasn't her, it’d be someone else. He just doesn't like you that way.

10. She was 'The One'
Sorry, but he and she were soul mates. They’re happy, they’re married, and there’s nothing you could have done about it if they were just meant for each other. You can compete with another girl for the same guy if he’s vaguely interested in you both. But not when she’s his dream woman. If you believe in destiny, then you’ll know that there’s little we can do to stop it. Just be happy knowing that if there’s a plan for them, there’s one for you too.


10 ways to look great while working out





While none of us expect to look like a supermodel while we’re pounding away on the treadmill, looking good while working out can help to boost your confidence, which can in turn help you to work harder and get better results.


Flatter your figure
While fashions come and go, the important thing when choosing clothes to work out in is to go for something you feel completely comfortable in. If you’re not 100 per cent sure when you try it on then don’t buy it – it’s unlikely to grow on you. Also, just as you would when planning an outfit for any other event, go for clothes that flatter your body shape, aren't too tight or too baggy and which show off the parts of your body you’re proud of.

Opt for breathable materials
Sweat patches aren't the best accessory for any outfit, but luckily they are easily avoidable. As well as using an antiperspirant before your workout, make sure you avoid wearing cotton if you are heading out for a run or intense workout, as the material will absorb heat and moisture and cling to your skin. Instead, go for clothes made from lightweight, breathable materials such as polyester, nylon and spandex.


Go for natural makeup
While many ladies think bare-faced is the best way to go when working out, some of us need a bit of extra confidence to spur us on. For a flawless yet fresh-faced complexion, opt for a light base of tinted moisturiser or mineral foundation. Mineral makeup is particularly good for those with oily or acne-prone skins as it will help to reduce shine and provide coverage without blocking pores. Pair this with waterproof mascara and some tinted lip balm for a natural look.


Wear a well fitted sports bra
Not only can wearing the wrong bra size (or one not specifically created for exercise) lead to health problems including back, neck and breast pain and poor posture, it can also affect the appearance of your breasts, both short and long term. Make sure you get measured and choose a supportive bra to ensure you are getting the support you need.


Create your perfect silhouette
If you’re feeling self-conscious about your lumps and bumps, consider investing in some shape-wear which can help smooth and conceal problem areas. As well as tummy-control trousers and leggings for running or exercise classes, you can purchase swimming costumes with tummy control features or padding at the bust to help you create the look you want and feel confident for your workout.


Go for color
No matter how much you love exercise, we all have days when we just can’t get ourselves motivated or in the right frame of mind. For those days when you’re feeling lacking in energy or enthusiasm, why not invest in some vibrant workout gear to help brighten up your workout? Pair a colorful top with some slimming black trousers or shorts for the perfect fun workout look.


Opt for an updo
Girls, no matter how much you love wearing your hair down, trust us, at the end of an energetic workout or run, you are not going to love this look quite so much. To keep your hair neat, groomed and out of your face while you are working out, go for an updo such as a high ponytail, ponytail braid or bun. To make sure it is completely out of the way (and to prevent it from getting sweaty) you could complete the look with a cotton hair band..


Blot away shine
There’s nothing like an oily, sweaty complexion for spoiling your look while working out, but luckily these problems are easily fixable. To blot away shine and cool down while you are at the gym, take a bottle of water and towel and try blotting your face with the dampened towel during your workout. Alternatively, try a sports sponge, such as those by Ramer or Konjac. These absorbent and cleansing sponges can be kept moist in their containers for a refreshing wipe as you exercise.


Accessorize
OK, so you’re probably not going to want to wear your best pair of dangly earrings or necklace down to the gym (and we would definitely advise against it if you do); however, accessorizing your workout gear with some unique (and useful) accessories such as a decorative water bottle, a nice sports watch or a colorful kit bag is a great way to add some personality and fun to your workout look.


Tone down redness
Together with a sweaty and oily complexion, sporting the red-faced look is one of the biggest beauty problems when working out. Fed up of resembling a tomato? There are plenty of things you can do to tone down this look. Wearing some light mineral face powder can help to even out your complexion. Also, try to drink plenty of water before, during and after your workout. Investing in a water spray, like Avene Thermal Spring Water spray, can also help you to stay looking cool and refreshed.




Top 10 worst female health habits




Wearing heels

More and more of us are opting to wear heels on a daily basis, and this could be bad news for our health. High heels affect our posture, put pressure on joints, and can lead to a range of conditions including arthritis, hammer toes, back pain and tendon injuries – and that’s before you take into account any heel-related accidents! To minimize damage, limit your heels to 1.5 inches for daily wear, and wear insoles to help reduce the pressure on joints.

Carrying a heavy handbag

With the rising number of gadgets and accessories the majority of women haul around, many of us are carrying around several pounds of weight on our shoulders every day. As a result, lots of us are also putting our long term health at risk. While you may not feel the effects right now, lugging around a heavy handbag can lead to serious back problems and neck pain as well as poor posture. Don’t wait until the damage is done – do your health a favor and try clearing out all non-essential items and switching to a smaller bag.


Sleeping in makeup

Most of us have succumbed to the temptation to sleep in our post-party makeup at some point. However, leaving makeup on overnight – along with the dirt and oil that naturally accumulates on skin throughout the day –is a quick route to clogged pores, congested skin and spots. Sleeping with mascara and eye makeup on can also affect your health by causing eye irritation, bloodshot eyes or even infection.


Matching men drink for drink

From networking drinks to first dates and social events, there are many instances when women may feel compelled to keep up with the drinking habits of the opposite sex. However, women not only tend to weigh less than men but they have less body water to dilute the alcohol, which means they tend to get more drunk more quickly. To minimize the risks of alcohol on your health, try to keep within the recommended guidelines for alcohol consumption and alternate alcohol with soft drinks.


Wearing the wrong bra size

It is thought that more than 70 per cent of women are wearing the wrong bra size. However, wearing a badly fitted bra can not only affect the look of your clothes, but research suggests it can cause a range of health problems including back, neck and breast pain, breathing difficulties, poor posture, skin irritation, circulation problems and even irritable bowel syndrome. Rather than guessing your size, make sure you get measured to ensure you are getting the support you need.


Worrying and harboring regrets

Stress is damaging to both our physical and mental health, and women are twice as likely as men to suffer from stress-related disorders, as well as having higher rates of depression and anxiety. While it is thought there may be biological reasons for this, worrying about the future and dwelling on regrets can also add to our problems, with research suggesting that women are more than twice as likely as men to harbor regrets over lost loves and broken relationships.


Obsessing over appearance

While both genders suffer from body insecurity, many women tend to overly obsess over their idea of the “perfect” body. Research findings published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology found that 16 per cent of the normal or underweight women studied believed themselves to be overweight, while a study commissioned by Dove found that 90 per of women wanted to change at least one aspect of their appearance. Body insecurity not only affects our mental health, but it can also lead to physical damage caused by extreme diets, yo-yo dieting, eating disorders and cosmetic surgery.


Emotional eating

While comfort eating affects both genders, research has suggested that men are more likely to reinforce positive emotions with food, while women comfort eat when they’re sad. Women are also more likely to satisfy their cravings with sweet, high calorie foods. Rather than letting your waistline suffer next time you’re feeling blue, try distracting yourself from cravings by doing something you enjoy, or boost your endorphins and health with an uplifting workout.


Not getting enough sleep

Not only can lack of sleep make us look and feel at our worst, but insufficient shut-eye can also lead to increased accidents, calorie consumption and heart disease risk. Unluckily for women, statistics suggest that sleep problems affect more women than men, while a study by the University of Michigan found that women are more than twice as likely to give up sleep to care for others. Unfortunately, sleep has been found to affect women’s blood pressure and mood more than men’s, making it imperative that you do your best to get a good night’s sleep.


Putting themselves last

Not only are women more likely to compromise their sleeping habits to care for children and others, they are also prone to putting their own wants and needs at the bottom of a hectic to-do list of chores and obligations. To avoid running yourself into the ground, learn to sometimes say no to those requests and commitments that are less than essential, and make sure you set aside some “me” time each week to do something enjoyable just for you.


Demi Lovato "Give Your Heart a Break"

The video is based on Lovato trying to win her boyfriend again, portrayed by Alex Bechet, after a fight, showing him that she is the one meant to be with him. The music video starts with Lovato and her boyfriend having an argument over the phone. After hanging up, she starts singing the song and recollects memories of them together. She is then shown collecting pictures of her and her boyfriend, inter-cut with her walking down a road while singing the second verse, and pasting the photos collected by her on a wall. Each picture has a memory behind it, which is recounted by her. At the end of the video, Lovato's boyfriend looks out his window as he beholds a large collage of pictures, depicting a picture of them smiling. Lovato is shown walking back home, as she turns around and smiles, confident that her plan has worked.

Demi recently released a new video on her Youtube opening up about the meaning behind her current single “Give Your Heart a Break.” She says that “Give Your Heart a Break” is not at all about someone who has a broken heart – in fact, Demi says this song is about faith, fighting for the one you love and mostly believing that you’re worth falling for.

The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was

Now here we are
So close yet so far
Haven't I passed the test
When will you realize
Baby, I'm not like the rest

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

On Sunday you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love
But you did not reply

The world is ours if we want it
We can take it if you just take my hand
There's no turning back now
Baby, try to understand

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

When your lips are on my lips
Then our hearts beat as one
But you slip out of my fingertips
Every time you run, whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break

'Cause you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes
You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
Don't wanna break your heart
Maybe, I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
