Say Something 02:07
lyrics
buy track
Why am I the only one to start the fight? You just lie there, never talking, always right Why don't you speak? Why don't you speak? We both know deep down inside, there's something wrong And I don't think there's anything we could have done In hindsight In hindsight I wish you'd say something Say anything at all Say something You must know that we're about to fall

Go Easy On Me 02:48
lyrics

Have patience with me, you know that I try Just give me space and maybe some more time Please don’t fight me, it’s not like me to be this way Let it go if you can Go easy on me Go easy on me Go easy on me, I try, you know I try I’m miles away from where I was before I’ve drifted with the current and I don’t know where I am anymore I go too far, I check out, I’m not home You say I’m hard to love Go easy on me Go easy on me Go easy on me, I try, you know I try Not easy to love, not easy to love, not easy to love, to love me Go easy on me Go easy on me Go easy on me, I try, you know I try

Lull Yourself to Sleep 03:15
lyrics

What is going on? Is it me, or is there something wrong? Tell me honestly, do you want to be here? Do you want to be here? Or be released, or be free There’s something else inside I see it in your eyes – I see it in your eyes There’s no shame in wishing it was yesterday In wishing you could fly away So lull yourself to sleep Sink into your dreams And darling I will meet you there, you there I know it’s tough right now To push it down inside, to smile with your eyes It gets hard now and then, to carry on forgetting and try and stop remembering Lull yourself to sleep Sink into your dreams And darling I will meet you there, you there Lull yourself to sleep Sink into your dreams And darling I will meet you there, you there

That Place Where I Belong 03:27
lyrics

There was a time when I felt safe It was nestled in your arms With your hands on mine and my face pressed against yours Take me back, take me back To that place where I belong – I was wrong There was a time when I felt new I had hopes and I believed that If we were good, they would come true. Look at us now. Take me back, take me back To that place where I belong – I was wrong I’m putting on a brave face in case you stop to ask me how I’m doing And I should be fine, 'cos this was my idea I’m putting on a brave face In case we start to reminisce how we ended up here Don’t remind me dear There was a time I had no fear I would run headfirst and leap I would not think twice, or doubt that I’d clear the chasm before me Take me back, take me back To that place where I belong – I was wrong I’m putting on a brave face in case you stop to ask me how I’m doing And I should be fine, cos this was my idea I’m putting on a brave face In case we start to reminisce how we ended up here Don’t remind me dear

After Everything, & Me 02:51
lyrics

Sorry for what I said I hope you still remember all of the good bits too From when we were together, so long ago I know towards the end we lost sight of each other I was not who you met And you were not the lover I used to know I wish you the best I wish you everything you want I hope you’ve everything you need and that you’ve found something more Oh I wish you the best and I hope that finally After everything, and me, I hope that you – - you – find what you’re looking for It was another life, we used to laugh together We laughed until we cried And said we’d always weather the storms to come But how were we to know? We had the best intentions ‘No matter what’ we said But that means something different to each person I wish you the best I wish you everything you want I hope you’ve everything you need and that you’ve found something more Oh I wish you the best and I hope that finally After everything, and me, I hope that you – - you – find what you’re looking for Oh people can change, you said Oh, people will change, I said And so I wish you the best I wish you everything you want I hope you’ve everything you need and that you’ve found something more Oh I wish you the best and I hope that finally After everything, and me, I hope that you – - you – find what you’re looking for

I Would Do It All Again 02:53
lyrics

I would do it all again I’d pick up my shoes and I’d run with my hand holding tight onto yours Like you’re anchoring me, so I don’t fly away with the wind I can’t believe that we’re strangers now And It feels weird to me that you don’t know how I’ve been recently And I don’t know how you are, too I would do it all again I’d pick up my shoes and I’d run with my hand holding tight onto yours Like you’re anchoring me, so I don’t fly away with the wind I can’t believe that we don’t talk now When you are the one that knew me inside out And I’ve yet to find just how to prise you from under my skin But I would do it all again I’d pick up my shoes and I’d run with my hand holding tight onto yours Like you’re anchoring me, so I don’t fly away with the wind You said that we wouldn’t be like this I thought we agreed, we were better than this Now, finally, I am letting you go But I would do it all again I’d pick up my shoes and I’d run with my hand holding tight onto yours Like you’re anchoring me, so I don’t fly away with the wind But I would do it all again I’d pick up my shoes and I’d run with my hand holding tight onto yours Like you’re anchoring me, so I don’t fly away with the wind
