Scouse ( /ˈskaʊs/) is an accent and dialect of English found primarily in the Metropolitan county of Merseyside, and closely associated with the city of Liverpool and the adjoining urban areas such as the boroughs of south Sefton, Knowsley and the Wirral. The accent is known to be as far reaching as Flintshire in Wales, and Runcorn and Skelmersdale in Cheshire and Lancashire respectively.
The Scouse accent is highly distinctive, and has little in common with those used in the neighbouring regions of Cheshire and Lancashire. The accent itself is not specific to all of Merseyside, with the accents of residents of St Helens and Southport, for example, more commonly associated with the historic Lancastrian accent.
The accent was primarily confined to Merseyside until the 1950s when slum clearance in the city resulted in migration of the populace into new pre-war and post-war developments into surrounding areas of what was informally named Merseyside and later to become officially known as Merseyside 1974. The continued development of the city and its urban areas has brought the accent into contact with areas not historically associated with Liverpool such as Prescot, Whiston and Rainhill in Merseyside and Widnes and Runcorn in Cheshire.
Steven George Gerrard MBE ( /ˈdʒɛrɑrd/; born 30 May 1980) is an English footballer who plays for and captains Premier League club Liverpool. He also has 91 caps for the England national team. He has played much of his career in a centre midfield role, but he has also been used as a second striker and right winger.
Gerrard, who has spent his entire career at Anfield, made his début in 1998 and cemented his place in the first team in 2000, succeeding Sami Hyypiä as team captain in 2003. His honours include two FA Cups, three League Cups, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup, and two Super Cups. In 2005, Gerrard came third in voting for the Ballon d'Or.
Gerrard made his international debut in 2000 and has represented England at the Euro 2000 and Euro 2004, as well as the 2006 World Cup where he was the team's top goalscorer with two goals. Gerrard first captained his country at the 2010 World Cup in the absence of regular captain Rio Ferdinand, who missed the tournament through injury. He was named again as England captain for the Euro 2012.

I am lost, paid the cost
Double crossed by one heart
And I tried not to cry
As love died in my arms
You make each day a little better
Sometimes I still can't hold it together
I'm broken in pieces on the ground
But I'm willing to try so I'm keeping my heart open
Hoping love will come around and find me again
Won't you save me, I'm broken
I have prayed every day
For a way to believe, yeah, yeah
But I know in my soul how that goes
You could leave
I hang on every word you've told me
Just remember every time you hold me
I'm broken in pieces on the ground
But I'm willing to try so I'm keeping my heart open
Hoping love will come around and find me again
Won't you save me, I'm broken, save me, I'm broken
Baby, help me put it all behind me
You're the only thing that doesn't remind me
I'm broken
I'm broken in pieces on the ground
But I'm willing to try so I'm keeping my heart open
Hoping love will come around and find me again
Won't you save me, I'm broken, save me, I'm broken
I never meant to let you down, girl
Wrapped up in my own little world
You're leaving what am I missing?
Did I hear you say I never listen? Well
I never heard when you cried
I never heard when you tried
To tell me that I was slowly losing you
I never heard you mention
I should've paid more attention
And that's a fact
But when you said that you were leaving me flat
And you were never coming back
Baby, I heard that
I'll hang on to our love, tooth and nail
Keep my eye on every detail
I love you and you're gonna know it
There's no way I'm gonna let you go unnoticed, 'cause
I never heard when you cried
I never heard when you tried
To tell me that I was slowly losing you
I never heard you mention
I should've paid more attention
And that's a fact
But when you said that you were leaving me flat
And you were never coming back
Baby, I heard that, yeah yeah
'Cause I'm a new man and I can prove it
How could I have ever been so foolish?
Yeah yeah
I never heard when you cried
I never heard when you tried
To tell me that I was slowly losing you
I never heard you mention
I should've paid more attention
And that's a fact
But when you said that you were leaving me flat
And you were never coming back
Baby, I heard that
And when you said that you were leaving me flat
And you were never coming back
Baby, I heard that, oh oh
I never meant to fall in love again this way
(Oh, I'm in way too deep)
But there's somethin' 'bout the way she says my name
(I tremble every time she speaks)
I should've learned by now to take it slow
(But down I go)
I'm in way too deep, I can't help but love her
Ain't no way to keep me from goin' under
I can't breathe
(I can't breathe)
No savin' me
(No savin' me)
I'm in way too deep
(I'm in over my head)
Every little thing she said haunts me in my sleep
I'm in way too deep
(I can't dig my way out)
No livin' without her
(I'm in way too deep)
Hey, don't even bother throwin' me a line
(No, I'm in way too deep)
Ain't no need to rescue me 'cause she's so fine
(Can't fight it 'cause her love's so sweet)
She's gonna be the death of me, I know
(What a way to go)
I'm in way too deep, I can't help but love her
Ain't no way to keep me from goin' under
I can't breathe
(I can't breathe)
No savin' me
(No savin' me)
I'm in way too deep
(I'm in over my head)
Every little thing she said haunts me in my sleep
I'm in way to deep
(I can't dig my way out)
No livin' without her
(I'm in way too deep)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She's gonna be the death of me, I know
(But it's out of my control)
I'm in over my head
Every little thing she said haunts me in my sleep
I can't dig my way out, no livin' without her
I'm in way to deep
I'm in over my head, way too deep
Every little things she said haunts me in my sleep
I can't help but love her, ain't no way to keep
(I can't dig my way out)
Me from goin' under
(No lovin' without her)
I'm in way too deep
I'm in way too deep, I can't help but love her
Ain't no way to keep me from goin' under
I can't breathe
(I can't breathe)
No savin' me
(No savin' me)
I'm in way too deep
(I'm over my head)
Every little thing she said haunts me in my sleep
I'm in way too deep
(I can't dig my way out)
No livin' without her
(I'm in way too deep)
Way too deep
(I'm in over my head)
Every little thing she said haunts me in my sleep
Out of my head, no I can't sleep
(I can't dig my way out)
No livin' without her
I heard all about it, never had found it
I walked the line and danced all around it
My heart starts poundin'
And I'm pretty sure that I know why
'Cause here I am like a bird in a windstorm
Talkin' 'bout things that I'm feelin' more and more
That I never felt before
I don't know much about love
But there's just something about you
I don't have pretty words
But I'm pretty sure that
I got this thing they call love
And it's all about you
Even if I say it simple, it's still true
I love you
I've been talkin' long as I've been walkin'
I'm better at one and I've done it more often
I run without stoppin'
But I can't say what's on my mind
So here I go steppin' into thin air
I've got faith, but I'm still a little bit scared
It's kinda like truth or dare
I don't know much about love
But there's just something about you
I don't have pretty words
But I'm pretty sure that
I got this thing they call love
And it's all about you
Even if I say it simple, it's still true
I love you
There it is, I've gone and said it
Thought I would, but I don't regret it
I'm not sure where this is headed
But I just had to let it out
I've got this thing that they call love
And it's all about you
And I'm gonna say it simple, baby
I don't know much about love
But there's just something about you
I don't have pretty words
But I'm pretty sure that
I got this thing they call love
And it's all about you
Even if I say it simple, it's still true
I love you, I love you
Oh oh yeah yeah
I've got this thing that they call love
And it's all about you
If I had never failed, lost the wind in my sails
Then I'd have never needed redemption, if I hadn't lost my way
I'd have never been saved by an angel and did I mention
It was you? I would have drowned if not for your faith
You gave a lost and lonely
Reason to live and the strength to stand
Where would I be without the love I see?
In your face, you're my saving grace
Love had eluded me, it excluded me
And I'd lost all my expectations, nothing was left for me
I was destined to be alone but my salvation was in you
You saw the hero beyond the fool
You gave a lost and lonely
Reason to live and the strength to stand
Where would I be without the love I see?
In your face, you're my saving grace
It was you, you saw the hero beyond the fool
You gave a lost and lonely
Reason to live and the strength to stand
Where would I be without the love I see?
In your face, you're my saving grace
Road to love is long and winding
It's hard to know which path to take
When you're constantly reminded
Of all the times your heart will break
The odds are low of ever finding
Someone who'll go with you all the way
I know you can sense the danger
Waiting there at every turn
We both know sooner and later
We'll reach the point of no return
Baby, let me be your savior
A promise you can take me at my word
Please believe, your heart is safe with me
You'll never have to doubt the way I feel
Please have faith baby, what else can I say?
I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' you please, please believe
Now I know my search is over
It's all out of my control
I know my destiny's been chosen
You are returning my soul
All the fears that you've been holdin'
Don't you think it's time to let them go?
Please believe, your heart is safe with me
You'll never have to doubt the way I feel
Please have faith, baby, what else can I say?
I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' you please, please believe
This may be our only chance
So baby if you can just
Please believe, your heart is safe with me
You'll never have to doubt the way I feel
Come on baby, please have faith, tell me what else can I say?
I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' you please, please believe
Whoa
Now I'm down on my knees
Beggin' you please, please believe
Sunshine shining in the summertime breeze
The whole world's smiling, if you know what I mean
Cool, cool time, hangin' out with the boys
An AM radio making some noise
Tunin' in to a moment in time
When everything seemed like the perfect rhyme
Here it is, here I go, my show can't wait
Gotta do it now 'fore it gets too late
Hey man, look at me now
Nothing in the world's gonna get me down
Sparks fly, I'm on fire
Way up high and I'm getting higher
Turn it loose turning it on
On a day like this
What could go wrong?
Tip my hat, blow a kiss to the crowd
(Hey man, look at me now)
Green grass growing on the edge of my feet
Feels good knowing I'm not out of my league
Singing a song that I never have sung
Out of my reach on the tip of my tongue
Who knows if tomorrow will come
It really don't matter 'til this day's done
Gotta move gotta go my fate my turn
Still a little daylight left to burn
(Still a little daylight left to burn)
Hey man, look at me now
Nothing in the world's gonna get me down
Sparks fly, I'm on fire
Way up high and I'm getting higher
Turn it loose turning it on
On a day like this
What could go wrong?
Tip my hat, blow a kiss to the crowd
(Hey man, look at me now)
Sunshine shining in the summertime breeze
The whole world's smiling, if you know what I mean
Here it is, here I go, my show can't wait
Gotta do it now 'fore it gets too late
(Gotta do it now 'fore it gets too late)
Hey man, look at me now
Nothing in the world's gonna get me down
Sparks fly, I'm on fire
Way up high and I'm getting higher
Turn it loose turning it on
On a day like this
What could go wrong?
Tip my hat, blow a kiss to the crowd
(Hey man, look at me now)
Hey man, look at me now
(Now)
Look at me now
(Now)
Look at me now
(Now)
Look at me now
(Now)
Jack is your neighbor, you see him every day
He picks up his paper and he throws you a wave
An ordinary man, seems like a heck of a guy
An average day in his average life
He hugs his kids and he kisses his wife
Then drives his minivan to his nine-to-five
No one knew a thing 'til they caught him on tape
Breaking into cars at the YMCA
Did you hear about Jack? Everybody's talking
It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walking
No one can believe, he would ever do a thing like that
But then you don't know Jack
There's more to this story that we haven't heard yet
But it seems our friend Jack had some gambling debt
That got out of hand and he couldn't pay
And his eighty grand a year, doesn't cover his bills
When he spends it all on prostitutes and pills
But a desperate man is going to find a way
A wallet lying on the front seat of a car
Couldn't solve all his problems
But it's a good start
Did you hear about Jack? Everybody's talking
It wasn't such a straight and narrow line he was walking
No one can believe, he would ever do a thing like that
But then you don't know Jack
Late last night, Jack went for a drive
He had a revelation down on I-65
He'd be worth more dead than he was alive
Did you hear about Jack? It's all over town
They're not really sure about the way it went down
No one can believe, he would ever do a thing like that
(Steve Mandile)
I remember
It was September the third
When I said it all with just 3 little words
I know the way you wore your hair on that day
I know it sounds crazy--the heart's funny that way
But after all that you told me
I still gave it all that it's worth
I can't help how I feel
It's out of my hands
This time it's for real
I've gotta do all I can
With every kiss that I steal
The further I go
I can't help how I feel
Just like you can't help how you don't
I remember
It was December the fourth
When I finally asked you
Is it worth waiting for
I know you're still running from things in your past
I know nothing's changed, but I still had to ask
'Cause I just can't leave you
I'm just not that strong anymore
I can't help how I feel
It's out of my hands
This time it's for real
I've gotta do all I can
With every kiss that I steal
The further I go
I can't help how I feel
Just like you can't help how you don't
I've got nothing to show
Still I can't let go
With every kiss that I steal
The further I go
I can't help how I feel
Just like you can't help how you don't
Girl, you know I can't help how I feel
And you can't help how you don't
I remember a boy in his backyard
And all the games he used to play
Looking for armies to conquer
And dragons to slay
Fearlessly seeking adventure
Riding a make-believe steed
Swearing to all on his honor
To be all he can be 'cause
A brave soul fights the good fight
Defending his castle with all of his might
It's an age-old story of life, there are those
Depending on one brave soul
The day finally came when the soldier
Set out to take on the world
Armed with the heart of a warrior
With his flag unfurled
But real life was not like the backyard
Now enemies are hard to define
The difference between good and evil
Is a very fine line but
A brave soul fights the good fight
Defending his castle with all of his might
It's an age-old story of life, there are those
Depending on one brave soul
Now I'm behind the wheel of my Chrysler
At the end of my daily war
I pull in the drive and I wonder
What's it all for
Then I see a boy in the backyard
I smile at the games that he plays
He's counting on me to defend him
When there's dragons to slay
And a brave soul does all he can
And that makes a hero of an everyday man
He holds it all in his hands
Now I finally know that I am
A brave soul who fights the good fight
Defending his castle with all of his might
It's an age-old story of life, there are those
Depending on one brave soul
I remember a boy in his backyard
