Goodbye
04:46

If I
Wake up in the morning
Just know that I love you
More than I love myself
‘Cause it
Hurts to be broken
Drowning in oceans of
Wishing on somebody else
These lines are a weakness
They bind us and keep us
Entwined somewhere
In my dark soul
Old handwritten letters
The scent of your tresses
A pain that will
Never grow old
Is this goodbye?
Will I open my eyes?
Will I see you, will I see you again?
If this is goodbye
Just know that I tried
More than you will ever realise
Though you’re
Ashamed of your scars
I’ve seen who you are
An angel who’s had her wings clipped
Though you
Don’t wanna hear it
These lost eyes think you’re perfect
That don’t kill me as much as you did
Is this goodbye?
Will I open my eyes?
Will I see you, will I see you again?
If this is goodbye
Just know that I tried
More than you will ever realise
Exhausted my arrows
Tilting at shadows
For you
You
Is this goodbye?
Will I open my eyes?
Will I see you, will I see you again?
If this is goodbye
Just know that I tried
More than you will ever realise

Foreigner

It’s been a year of summers
Since the last time I saw you
It’s been a quiet life
Since the last time we met
Where have you been
How are you now
I’ve been trying to ask
I’ve been dying to tell
[Pre-chorus]
You don’t know
I don’t care
How this goes
So let’s play pretend
[Chorus]
When two hearts break
So many more fall apart
When two lives wait
So many more come to pass
When two hearts ache
So many more leave so fast
When two lives hate
So many more
So many more
So many more
So many more
So many more
‘Cause I’m a foreign stranger
In the hometown I once knew
All our words unstated
The gaps they’ve fallen through
It’s been shredded hearts
And wary eyes
Telling lies and
Taking sides
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
It’s
Too little too late
Too much too soon
We’ve left it too long
To start anew
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
We’ll never be the same
No matter what you say
Forgotten faces
Foreign names
Our worlds have shifted
Our rules have changed
[Quiet Chorus]
[Chorus]

Better
03:52
|

Heart in my throat and my soul is heavy
Truth on the tip of my tongue and I'm nearly
Losing myself in a world full of pity
On the last train to nowhere
Cross my fingers
Close my eyes and
Hope this blessing
Sheds its disguise
Nobody told me that love would be painful
Nobody said it's a game I can't win
Nobody told me I'd lose every struggle and
Still want to try again
Cross my fingers
Close my eyes and
Hope this curse never
Meets its demise
Do you wanna watch me dream?
Do you wanna hurt with me?
Do you wanna cast off the lines and
Wish we were better?
Do you wanna be bent and broken?
Do you wanna be torn wide open?
Do you wanna set ourselves on fire and
Wish we were better?
Cross my fingers
Close my eyes and
Hope this pain can
Last for all time
Do you wanna watch me dream?
Do you wanna hurt with me?
Do you wanna cast off the lines and
Wish we were better?
Do you wanna be bent and broken?
Do you wanna be torn wide open?
Do you wanna set ourselves on fire and
Wish we were better?
Wish we were better

Masks
03:46

We put on our masks you and I
And pretend to the world we're all right
But both of us know
When we're on our own
It's more than it's worth to try
I've been crawling in the trenches
You've been mustering your forces
But no one's gonna win this war
It's been months since the world
Has been safe as it is
And our feet were firm on the shores
Our hearts are weeping
Our eyes are bleeding
Now we're falling, falling
Again
We put on our masks you and I
And pretend to the world we're all right
But both of us know
When we're on our own
It's more than it's worth to try
I sleep but I never dream
You're alive but you never breathe
There's a weary storm pounding at the door
Resuscitate me just so I can drown again
Paralyse me just so I can let you in
Again
We put on our masks you and I
And pretend to the world we're all right
But both of us know
When we're on our own
It's more than it's worth to try
Hide me till the fight is over
Forsake me till the skies get colder
And now we're falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling again
- Instrumental chaos -
Tread softly now
Even though we don't know how
Every word an anthem
For the hearts that sing inside
It's the dreams of the hopeless
Hung out to dry
It's a graveyard where
All the broken souls go to die
Washed out photographs
Make the bravest soldiers cry
What used to be
What used to be
We put on our masks you and I
And pretend to the world we're all right
But both of us know
When we're on our own
It's more than it's worth to try

Stay Away
03:40
|
|||
Wistful siren
See the wanderlust in your eyes
The world has made you perfect
You'll never need to try
Brooding sailor
Hide the melancholy in your eyes
The world is harsh and cruel
It'll knock you down every time
So stay away now
Stay away now
Stay away
If you can
Just play the game now
Play the game now
Play it
If you dare
And round and around and
Around here we go
You learn not to trust and
You learn not to show
Oh spindrift
Of the waves upon the shore
The tide is always receding
But he keeps coming back for more
Oh beleagured
Agonising mind of yours
She's too flawless to want your damaged heart
What are you waiting for?
So stay away now
Stay away now
Stay away
If you can
Just play the game now
Play the game now
Play it
If you dare
And round and around and
Around here we go
You learn not to trust and
You learn not to show
And round and around and
Around here we go
You learn not to trust and
You learn not to show
So stay away now
Stay away now
Stay away
If you can
Just play the game now
Play the game now
Play it
If you dare
And round and around and
Around here we go
You learn not to trust and
You learn not to show
Staying away is the hardest thing
So much to say not sure how to begin
Maybe it's for the better
Give in to calm surrender
All that you love will leave in the end
Shattered dreams don't ever mend
We used to be more
We used to be closer
Is this goodbye?
