Deja Vu
03:35

I think I'm nearing my breaking point, baby
Think I've been burning too bright for too long
The gig is up, tell the band to stop playing
The party's over, the fire's out, go home
I pack my suitcase and hail a taxi
My whole life's work leading up to this day
But when I told the pilot I'm heading toward happy
He laughed, gave me a parachute, sent me on my way
And I got Deja Vu
Oh, well, how nice it would be to be free
I know what I want and it's waiting for me
So I drew a map but somehow
Every road leads me back to the start
Put on my uniform, count up my ammo
Say a prayer, hug my family goodbye
My mother's sure I'll come back from this battle
Either way, I just hope it's the last fight
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
All my life I'm
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', getting nowhere oh I'm
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' all my life I'm
Runnin', runnin', runnin', getting nowhere and
Oh, well, how nice it must be to be free
I know what I want and it's waiting for me
And I try so hard but I get nowhere far
Cause I always end up back at the start
Enemy quiet while I lay here hoping:
Maybe there is no need for this war
But when the ground shook and rudely awoke me
I got this feeling like I've been here before

I Couldn't Reach
03:36
|

Facebook still reminds me of you sometimes
And it hurts so much I have to close my eyes
Before the tears come streaming down again
And I wonder, when will it stop?
I’ve had enough, I’ve had more than enough
And I hate all this stuff that you gave me
It’s nothing without you, so take it away
With your coat and your lies
And the coward inside that you are
The coward inside that you are broke my heart for no reason
I guess it was easier to leave me here freezing
Than to turn up the heat
For me
When I couldn’t reach
And your friends still follow me on Instagram
And occasionally they still ask me how I am
I guess they know it ain’t true what you say
That I am not crazy
That I was just hurting, and you walked away
And I hate that I gave you so much of me
And you had a side that I couldn’t see
While I was busy picking up all of the pieces
You broke me into
The pieces you broke me into over and over for no reason
I guess it was easier, knowing I’d do the cleaning
Than to keep it together
For me
When I couldn’t
So go on, keep running away like you do
When shit hits the fan, know I can’t count on you anyway
And honestly, not much has changed since you left
I’ve just got a different kind of loneliness
Oh, but you left such a mess
It was easier, I guess
To leave me here in my bed
Than to turn up the heat
For me
When I couldn’t reach

You Were Right
03:39
|
|||
|
When we met, it was crystal clear, was meant to be
Had no cares, no worries, no fears, it was just you and me
So we painted our perfect picture so vibrantly
But the colours were always bound to fade eventually
You were right when you guessed I wasn’t happy
You were right
You were right, I was lying when I told you
We’d be fine
You were right, and I never should have promised you
Otherwise
But you’re wrong if you think I ever meant to hurt you
I apologise
Something changed between us and I didn’t know what to do
But I knew I didn’t wanna rush into losing you
Those three words, I’d say them to your face, but you can’t see
My fingers crossed behind my back, childishly
But you were right when you guessed I wasn’t happy
You were right
You were right, I was lying when I told you
We’d be fine
You were right, and I never should have promised you
Otherwise
But you’re wrong if you think I ever meant to hurt you
I apologise
You were right, you were right
You were right when you guessed I wasn’t happy
You were right
You were right, I was lying when I told you
We’d be fine
You were right, and I wish I’d never promised you
Otherwise
But you’re wrong if you think I ever meant to hurt you
I apologise
Yeah, you’re wrong if you think I never really loved you
I hope you realise

Do you ever think about
The words that come from your mouth
Before you spit ‘em out?
‘Cause we’ve been here a thousand times
And now I look into your eyes
And I’m starting to doubt
Whether you listen to me
Do you ever listen to me?
Do you even care what I need from you?
‘Cause this ain’t the first time that I’ve told you
Baby, just listen to me
Right now I’m holding the key
To the toolbox we need to put us back together
‘Cause the hinges are loose, and the floorboards weathered
And you say
“I don’t wanna raise kids in a house
Where we’re fighting all the time”
Well, neither do I
So why don’t you stop hurting me?
You know you can’t put this on me
Always telling me that shit never happened
I’m overreacting, that I need therapy
When all you gotta do is stop hurting me
Lately I’ve been noticing
That you get mad around my friends
And I don’t know where it came from
You say I change in front of them
(You change in from of them)
And that you know that’s not who I am
(I know that’s not who you are)
Well, that sounds like an ultimatum
You say that I don’t listen to you
(You don’t listen to me)
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
When you’re crying and screaming at me
(When I’m crying and screaming at you)
A thousand words a second, where do I speak?
You tell me that I don’t understand you
(You don’t understand me)
Well maybe we don’t stand a chance now
Maybe you’re right, I haven’t been drawing plans up
(Maybe I’m right, you haven’t been drawing plans up)
The way that you have
(The way that I have)
‘Cause I don’t wanna raise kids in a house
Where we’re fighting all the time
So I’ll say goodbye
Or you could just stop hurting me
You know you can’t put this on me
Always telling me that shit never happened
I’m overreacting, that I need therapy
When you could just stop hurting me
Can’t you see you’re hurting me?
And it’s taking its toll and I’m crashing
And you say I’m acting differently
Well, all you gotta do is
(Stop hurting)
Just hold me when I cry
(I can hear you when you’re crying)
Instead of getting mad
(It’s late and now I’m tired)
Instead of getting angry
(I’m so sick of fighting)
Just hold me when I’m sad
(Maybe I can't meet your demands)
Just meet my despair
(Baby, I don’t know how)
With open loving arms
(To navigate this mess)
Not with gritted teeth
(I think I’m gonna go now)
And fingers curled to palms
(Before I do something I’ll regret)
I don’t wanna raise kids in a house
Where we’re fighting all the time
So what you gotta do is stop hurting me

Lemon Difficult
01:33

Is love supposed to be this hard?
‘Cause lately I’ve been hearing different things
My mother claims it should be easy
But some say it ain’t true unless it stings
And how many times can you break my heart
Before I stop handing you back the pieces?
I’m shards of glass on the floor
And you walk right through me on the way out
Yet still, you’re the only one I want to pick me up

Darling, Are You
05:06
|
|||
|
I haven’t laid in your arms for a year now
And I still haven’t quite figured out how to sleep on my own
I lay awake just to welcome my tears now
‘Cause you’re not coming home
And you took all of my second chances
And you threw them in my face
When all I needed were some answers
You just laughed while I fell from grace
And you found all of the words to hurt me
But there’s one thing I never heard you say
“Darling, are you okay?”
Tonight I realised that I’ve lost a year now
Haunted by everything you
And I’m distracted by all kinds of fear now
Like if you came back, maybe I’d take you back
I bet that’s what I’d do
And you’d take all of my third chances
And you’d throw them in my face
‘Cause when I was begging you for answers
You just laughed while I fell from grace
And you found all of the words to destroy me
Just to avoid ever having to say
“Darling, are you okay?”
It was as simple as “Are you okay?”
A pretty obvious thing to say
Never again will I let anyone close enough
To learn how to hurt me
So since you already know me so damn well
Maybe I should let you come back to me
And I’ll give you a hundred thousand chances
The skin is thicker now on my face
And maybe I don’t need all of the answers
Don’t wanna see anyone taking my place
So go on and give me all you’ve got
And I’ll never ask for you to say
“Darling, are you okay?”
It was as simple as “Are you okay?”
A pretty fucking obvious thing to say
Darling, are you okay?
Darling, are you…?

Rise With The Light
03:40
|

|
Heavy eyes, tired mind
Stop trying to rewind
Embrace the day
The gift of being
Rise with the light
Little girl, the world’s so big
Take it from me, there’s so much more than this
With just one step
And then another
You can follow the light
Ooh
Ooh
Precious thing, save your tears
If you never leave, how can you know what you fear?
When darkness falls
You might hide
But promise me now that with the sun you’ll rise
This life has loops and drops and bends
And when you’re upside down
It can feel like it never ends
But hold on tight
I know you’re brave enough
To stay on the ride
Ooh
Ooh
There’s a mountain you can climb
There’s a river you can swim
You’ve got so much love behind you
And so many songs to sing
Darling, if you give up now
How will you know what you missed?
There is so much more than this
There is so much more
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Rise with the light
You don’t know what lies ahead
And you just might like what’s next
So breathe in deep
‘Cause this ain’t over
Rise with the light
If you get lost, the light will find you
Just give it time

Better

I always thought that we would forever last
I can’t believe I’m talking in the past
You said I was your sunshine every day
And then you turned and walked away
And I don’t know what to do
I am nothing without you
I thought I knew you better
I thought I knew you better
I thought I knew you better
I thought that you were better
I thought I knew you better
Better than I know myself
I guess I should’ve known better
I thought I knew you better than I know myself
Remember when you promised there was no one else?
You told me that you loved me and I believe you
Well, what a thing to do
And I thought that we were strong
Well, I guess that I was wrong
I thought I knew you better
I thought I knew you better
I thought I knew you better
I thought that you were better
I thought I knew you better
Better than I know myself
I guess I should’ve known better
(I should have known, I should have known better)
I guess I should’ve known better
(I should have known, I should have known better)
I guess I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
Better than I know myself
I can only trust myself
And now I know better
(Better)

Love And War
05:24
|
|||
|
Shattered my confidence, made me hate all my friends
Because of you, I put my family through the worst of things
You loved me harder than I’d ever been before
And then once I was vulnerable, you slammed the door
And I try to move on
But I don’t know how
‘Cause you’re always there
You’re in all of my favourite songs
And in the scent of the air
I’ve never been hurt like this before
And they say all is fair in love and war
And I’ve known all kinds of pain
But never this strong
Turns out I never knew sad
Before you came along
But all is fair in love and war
So leave with my innocence, and all of my better bits
All of the parts that I don’t know how to fix
You know I can’t afford this, do you get off on it;
That you found me whole, and you left me broken?
I try to pick myself up
Brush off the dirt
And keep keeping on
But with three steps forward and two back
Oh, it's taking so long
I’ve never been hurt like this before
And they say all is fair in love and war
And I’ve known all kinds of pain
But never this strong
And I’m not the same as I was
Before you came along
But all is fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war
In love and war, in love and war in
All is fair in love and war
In love and war, in love and war in
All is, all is, all is fair in
All is, all is, fair in love and war
All is, all is, all is fair in
All is, all is, fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war
In love and war, in love and war in
