Lies

You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding
Do you feel happier yet?
D’you say some things you regret?
Cos I’m feeling better alone
But I know I know I know
You messed me up yeah real bad
Can’t take those stabs in the back
I know I’m better than that
But I’m sure I’m sure
I’m in over my head
You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding
Empty talk but it never had no meaning
Stuck here just staring at the ceiling
Now it’s overdue
Cos I’m so over you
Call me blind but it was the last time
Cos all your lies they just caught up with you
And all those secrets I told
You used to get your control
So hot and then you’re so cold
It’s too late too late
I’m in over my head
You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding
Empty talk but it never had no meaning
Stuck here just staring at the ceiling
Now it’s overdue
Cos I’m so over you
Call me blind but it was the last time
Cos all your lies they just caught up with you
All the years that went by
Kept me in the dark why?
I’ll forgive but I won’t forget
Yeah we all make mistakes
But yours I just can’t shake
You’re now a little too late
You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding
Empty talk but it never had no meaning
Stuck here just staring at the ceiling
Now it’s overdue
Cos I’m so over you
Call me blind but it was the last time
Cos all your lies they just caught up with you

Unwanted

You’re so good yeah you’re so good
At making me feel like nothing
Making me feel unwanted
My distorted view on us
Is starting to get too much
I kept it locked away
So deep with the damage you caused me
The lack of empathy
You don’t love anybody
I wanna prove that you still care
But your silence fills the air
You’re so good yeah you’re so good (so good)
At making me feel like nothing
Making me feel unwanted (but I know)
You’re no good yeah you’re no good (no good)
And that’s why I’m so guarded
You make me feel unwanted
You make me feel unwanted
Why did you keep me hanging on?
If you knew all along
I’d never fit your perfect life
You didn’t compromise
And I’ll never know why
I’m nothing but a goodbye
You’re so good yeah you’re so good (so good)
At making me feel like nothing
Making me feel unwanted (but I know)
You’re no good yeah you’re no good (no good)
And that’s why I’m so guarded
You make me feel unwanted
You make me feel unwanted

The Hard Way
03:26
|
|

We were just strangers
Didn’t know your name but
I could tell you were good at hiding your pain
The ones you kept closest
Didn’t even notice
But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away
And lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed
That you were okay
But I learnt the hard way
Thought it wasn’t my place
But I learnt the hard way
You left us too soon
Such pain they put you through
Only felt safe in your room
Needed someone to turn to
A delicate flower
They took all power
And got in your head before you could even bloom
But lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed
That you were okay
But I learnt the hard way
Thought it wasn’t my place
But I learnt the hard way
Pretending everything’s ok
I should’ve taken on your weight
Then I wouldn’t have to learn the hard way
And why does someone have to lose?
And why did that have to be you?
Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way

Jealousy
03:12

|

Jealousy is haunting me
So bad at biting my tongue
It gets so hard to breathe
Wish you were mine from day one
Don’t mention any other name
That doesn’t sound like mine, mine yeah
I don’t ever wanna know
Who you’ve been with before
Burn all your old photos
They don’t exist anymore
You know I’ll never be replaced
Cos I satisfy, I
Cos your smile tells me everything I need to know, You need to know that
It never ends
Look at the shade of my eyes
And I won’t pretend
And I won’t apologise
I gotta have you, I gotta have you to myself
Why would I want anybody else?
In my defence
Jealousy’s my best friend
People like to shame me
You think that I care at all?
So bad at sharing
You know you infect my soul
Don’t want it any other way
Cos it gets you high, I
I know I can’t change the past
Better believe that I tried
Never meant to last
Makes me so happy inside
Come on my baby time to play
Cos you set me on fire, I
It never ends
Look at the shade of my eyes
And I won’t pretend
And I won’t apologise
I gotta have you, I gotta have you to myself
Why would I want anybody else?
In my defence
Jealousy’s my best friend

Alone

Before you talk to me
I’ve heard a lot of things
You and your reputation
Everyone knows you’re fake
Cos all of your mistakes
You and your own delusion
Call me up call me up but I won’t pick up
It’s the furthest thing from love
Wish I could go back to the night when I met you
So I could tell you to go to hell
I’d rather spend my entire lifetime alone
Knew from the moment I saw you
You’d be an ultimate waste of time
I’d rather spend my entire lifetime alone
Starting to get to me
Hearing your fantasy
I feel your desperation
No matter how hard you try
Not gonna change my mind
Will somebody put me out of my misery now
You stay up you stay out just to find someone
You’ve already come undone
Wish I could go back to the night when I met you
So I could tell you to go to hell
I’d rather spend my entire lifetime alone
Knew from the moment I saw you
You’d be an ultimate waste of time
I’d rather spend my entire lifetime alone
What makes you think you could be all over me
Open your eyes it’s easy to see
I never gave you that impression
Call me up call me up but I won’t pick up
It’s the furthest thing from love
Wish I could go back to the night when I met you
So I could tell you to go to hell
I’d rather spend my entire lifetime alone
Knew from the moment I saw you
You’d be an ultimate waste of time
I’d rather spend my entire lifetime alone

Clean

I tripped and let you in
And so it all begins
The high was unexpected
These sheets are wearing thin
Now you’re underneath my skin
Guess I never learn my lesson
And you strip me down into nothing
Show me what I've been missing all of this time
You’re the one girl that I just can’t get enough of
Maybe it’s love or maybe a moment
You’re the one drug that I don’t want to get clean from
Is it too soon to say that I’m falling?
I can’t get off of you
What’s there left to say?
It’s really not my choice
I bang my head against the wall until I hear your voice
Yeah I’ve come undone
I’m hooked and I’m withdrawn
And I don’t really care if it’s my fault
You’re the one girl that I just can’t get enough of
Maybe it’s love or maybe a moment
You’re the one drug that I don’t want to get clean from
Is it too soon to say that I’m falling?
I can’t get off of you
And you strip me down into nothing
Show me what I've been missing all of this time
You’re the one girl that I just can’t get enough of
Maybe it’s love or maybe a moment
You’re the one drug that I don’t want to get clean from
Is it too soon to say that I’m falling?
I can’t get off of you
No I can’t get off of you
I can’t get off of you

Without You
03:40
|
|
||
|
People move
Seasons change
It’s no fun to stay the same
So I drift on with the tide
You get hurt
Then you learn
Light the candle let it burn
Cos there’s darkness in the light
Feels like a piece of me is missing
But I’ve tried absolutely everything
And I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
Without you
Without you
Cos we’re not who we used to be before
Without you (the world still spins)
Without you (the day begins)
Cos the truth is you’re not here anymore
I guess I’ll learn to carry on without you
It is such a tragedy
All I have is these memories
To get me through the night
After all is said and done
I fought my best but never won
And my world changed to black and white
Feels like a piece of me is missing
But I’ve tried absolutely everything
And I don’t know how I’m supposed to act
Without you
Without you
Cos we’re not who we used to be before
Without you (the world still spins)
Without you (the day begins)
Cos the truth is that you’re not here anymore
I guess I’ll learn to carry on without you
I tried and tried to make you stay
Was there something I didn’t say?
I live with that now
I live with that now
Now my tears could fill an ocean
And I’m stuck here in the same emotion
I survived somehow
Yeah I survived somehow
Cos I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
Without you
Without you
Cos we’re not who we used to be before
Without you (the world still spins)
Without you (the day begins)
Cos the truth is you’re not here anymore
I guess I’ll learn to carry on without you
How am I supposed to live without you?

Only Problem
03:03
|
|
||
|
You can call me naïve
For hoping you would fix me
I’m foolish to believe
You could pick up the pieces
Push me pull me back
When there’s nothing left
Cos that’s what you do best
I’m thinking maybe you’re the only problem
I can’t figure out
Pulling me up from the bottom
Just to watch me drown
Now I guess I have to do this on my own
Baby it’s time to let you go
I feel so pathetic
Forever thinking you were somebody else
Although I regret it
I can’t help but to think of you now
Push me pull me back
When there’s nothing left
Cos that’s what you do best
I’m thinking maybe you’re the only problem
I can’t figure out
Pulling me up from the bottom
Just to watch me drown
Now I guess I have to do this on my own
Baby it’s time to let you go
Every bad thing I would do
It was always with you
But I stepped back
It was hard for me to see
That the problem wasn’t me
It was you you you
I’m thinking maybe you’re the only problem
I can’t figure out
Pulling me up from the bottom
Just to watch me drown
Now I guess I have to do this on my own
Baby it’s time to let you go

You're So Vain
02:43
|
|

|
I’m a princess so gimme my crown
Yeah I’m gonna bring I’m gonna bring you down
I’ve tried my best to bite my tongue
But I’ve listened to your shit for far too long
Your ignorance makes me wanna vomit
You’ll get what you deserve baby I promise
Everybody knows and they all can tell
That if you could you’d go and marry yourself
You’re so vain yeah
I’m in pain
When you open up your narcissistic mouth
All you do is let me down
Cos you’re so vain yeah
You think you’re always right and you think that you’re perfect
But putting up with you was never ever worth it
I think you’re mistaken cos you can’t see
You’re blinded by your own vanity
You take what you need and you don’t give back
Cos I guess your mother never really taught you that
The world it doesn’t spin with you on top
You think it’s all about you when it’s really not
You’re so vain yeah
I’m in pain
When you open up your narcissistic mouth
All you do is let me down
Cos you’re so vain yeah

Reasons To Live
02:47

I was standing in the rain
I had nowhere to go
Nothing remained
Just a stranger in these clothes
The joke of the party
Drinking all alone
With no one beside me
The only place I’ve ever known
Don’t say I’m gonna stay this way
I hit rock bottom
With nothing left to give
All love forgotten
Finding reasons to live
You picked me up when I was down on the floor
You showed me how to love myself a little more
I’m scared to go to sleep
Demons watching over me
How am I supposed to breathe?
When I feel this fucking weak
You are the medicine to get me by
You are the therapy to ease my mind
When I fall you catch me every time
When I’m falling you come calling
Don’t say I’m gonna stay this way
I hit rock bottom
With nothing left to give
All love forgotten
Finding reasons to live
You picked me up when I was down on the floor
You showed me how to love myself a little more
Don’t say I’m gonna stay this way
I hit rock bottom
With nothing left to give
All love forgotten
Finding reasons to live
You picked me up when I was down on the floor
You showed me how to love myself a little more
You are the medicine to get me by
You are the therapy to ease my mind
When I fall you catch me every time
When I’m falling

Numb
02:47
|
|

|
Lying on the floor today
I haven’t moved since yesterday
And I don’t think I’m going anywhere
The ceiling it’s caving in
And I’ve lost every single win
But I’m too numb to even care at all
I can’t even run away when I try
It’s just the downfall of me and my mind
Let me be free
I look for all of the reasons why
Happiness is something I can’t find
Need to just breathe
It’s the downfall of me and my mind
Drinking for the hell of it
A cliche yeah I’ll admit
And I don’t even know what I’m here for
Sick and tired of feeling the same
Drowning in the London rain
There’s gotta be something more than this
I can’t even run away when I try
It’s just the downfall of me and my mind
Let me be free
I look for all of the reasons why
Happiness is something I can’t find
Need to just breathe
It’s the downfall of me and my mind
The curtains I’ve drawn them shut
I feel lost and I’m giving up
Cos I’m too numb to even care at all

Act My Age
02:53

So tell me when did it start falling apart?
Everything that I know
Hitting me hard caught me off guard
Where did all the time go?
Days are getting colder
When I think of getting older
I go back to when I had no doubts
Thought those times would last forever
Took a good look in the mirror
Better get my shit together now
Wish that I could slow this down
I gotta face it now
Wish you were still around
So tell me when did it start falling apart?
Everything that I know
Hitting me hard caught me off guard
Where did all the time go?
I can feel those easy days slip away as
Memories fade nothing’s the same
Guess I’d better act my age
Filled with innocence
But lately nothing's making sense
I try to get it right but don’t know how
Took it all for granted
Guess I didn’t understand it
They say that youth is wasted on the young
So tell me when did it start falling apart?
Everything that I know
Hitting me hard caught me off guard
Where did all the time go?
I can feel those easy days slip away as
Memories fade nothing’s the same
Guess I’d better act my age
I miss the days when we were younger
Cause now I feel like I’m going under
Somehow time slipped through our fingers
Yeah I miss the days miss the days
When we were younger
So tell me when did it start falling apart?
Everything that I know
Hitting me hard caught me off guard
Where did all the time go?
I can feel those easy days slip away as
Memories fade nothing’s the same
Guess I’d better act my age

We were driving so fast oh
I don’t know how we lost control
The breaks were cut loose
Like the story of me and you
You gave up on us I know
Without water the flowers don’t grow
Stuck in the back seat
You didn’t even notice me
Didn’t know that you could be so fucking cruel to me
Watched you slowly let go
And I think that you oughta know
Another day goes by
I’m going nowhere
And it’s no surprise
That you just don’t care
Like you were never mine
My stomach’s torn in two
I’m so sick of missing you
Every time I go downtown
I hear your name but there’s no sound
I tell myself that I’m getting better without you now
Cos you picked me up and dropped me when you want
Cos loving you is something that I don’t wanna do
Another day goes by
I’m going nowhere
And it’s no surprise
That you just don’t care
Like you were never mine
My stomach’s torn in two
I’m so sick of missing you
Didn’t know that you could be so fucking cruel to me
Watched you slowly let go
And I think that you oughta know
Another day goes by
I’m going nowhere
And it’s no surprise
That you just don’t care
Like you were never mine
My stomach’s torn in two
I’m so sick of missing you
