When's the day you start again
And when the hell does you'll get over it begin
I'm looking hard in the mirror
But I don't fit my skin
It's too much to take
It's too hard to break me
From the cell I'm in
Oh from this moment on
I'm changing the way I feel yeah
From this moment on
It's time to get a real
Cause I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
Cause you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
So how'd you pick the pieces up yeah
I'm barely used to saying me instead of us
The elephant in the room keeps scaring off the guests
It gets under my skin to see you with him
And it's not me that you're with
Oh from this moment on
I'm changing the way I feel yeah
From this moment on
It's time to get a real
The Script Long gone and moved on lyrics found on
Cause I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday

Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
No I can't keep thinking that you're coming back
Cause I got no business knowing where you're at
And it's gonna be hard yeah
Cause I have to wanna heal yeah
And it's gonna be hard yeah
The way I feel that I have to get real
I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on

Eh eh, oh oh
Eh eh, oh oh
Oooo, oooo
Oooo, oooo
I've been kicked right down, I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled way down to the lowest place
I've been lied to, shamed, I have been disgraced
Been excommunicated from every holy place
I've been beat up, robbed, I've been left for dead
For the way I look, for the things I said
And when trouble thinks it's found us
The world falls down around us
I promise baby, you won't ever, you won't ever feel a
thing
'Cause I will take it on the chin, eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front, I'll take the blow for you, for
I've been put on the street, I've been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up, had them shot full of holes
I've been laughed at, hurt, been the butt of the joke
I've been lit up in flames, I have gone down in smoke
I've been stabbed in the back, while being promised the Earth
Trying to keep my head high for all I'm worth
Outside there's trouble blazing, I know a war is raging
I promise baby, you won't ever, you won't ever feel a
thing
'Cause I will take it on the chin, eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front, I'll take the blow for you, for
you, yeah
And if I fall here
At least you know, my dear, that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing
And if I fall here
At least you know my dear that I would die for you
Promise you won't ever feel a thing
'Cause I will take it on the chin, eh, for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing, no
'Cause everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front, I'll take the blow for you, for
Yeah, everything the world could throw
I'll take the sticks, I'll take the stones for you, for
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Together we cry
Together we cry
Jenny was a poor girl living in a rich world
Named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen
She was hoping for a better world for this little girl
But the apple doesn?t fall too far from the tree
When she gets that call Hope?s too far gone
Her baby?s on the way, nothing left inside
Together we cry
What about the junk head? Could have gone the whole way
Lighting up the stage trying to get a deal
Now he?s lighting up the wrong way, something for the pain
Man, you wanna see this kid he was so fucking unreal
When he gets that call he?s too far gone
To get it together to sing one song
They won?t hear tonight the words of a lullaby
Together we cry, yeah, yeah
Together we cry, whoa
Together we cry, oh, we cry, we cry, oh, we cry, we cry
Together we cry, oh, oh
Oh, Mary?s ambitious, she wanna be a politician
She been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought that she?d be the one who could change the world
Always trying to pave the way for women in a man?s world
But life happened, house, kids, two cars, husband hits the jar
Cheques that don?t go very far now
Now she in it, can?t change it, she keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages rile her, oh
Together we cry
Together we cry
There's so much sad, gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for the world is broken
Together we cry, oh, we cry, we cry, oh, we cry
There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It?s hard to let your children go, leave home
Where they go? Who knows
Getting drunk, getting stoned all alone
Teach a man to fish, you feed him now for life
You show your kids the truth, hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they?ve gone to something better
Bet you're sorry now, I won?t be coming home tonight
I?m sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry, together we cry
Together we cry, cry
Together we cry, oh yeah
There's so much sad, gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for the world is broken
Together we cry, oh yeah
Together we cry, cry
Together we cry, cry, yeah, yeah
Together we cry
I don't know why she's with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her by now I would have left me
I would have walked away but now I've broken away
Somehow instead she forgave me
She said a woman's got to do what she's got to
Even if it means she denied herself the truth
'Cause when you're in too deep you wake up when it's
too late
You've fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
'Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
'Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby, it sure as
hell ain't me
So walk away
(Walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
So walk away
(Walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays
She's standing in the heart of darkness
Saying I know you got a soul even though you're
heartless
How could any woman in their right mind be so blind
To find something this safe
Instead of walking with me she should have walked away
She finds color in the darkest places
She finds beauty in the saddest of faces
For such a groovy and headstrong city girl
Could've had the world but she's fallen in love in the
worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
'Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
'Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby, it sure as
hell ain't me
So walk away
(Walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
So walk away
(Walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays
But still she stays
I don't know why she's with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her by now I would have left me
I would have walked away
But you've fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
'Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
'Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby, it sure as
hell ain't me
So walk away
(Walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
So walk away
(Walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays
But still she stays, eh
I'm saying walk away
Yeah, I'm saying walk away
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays

It's in the eyes of the children
As they leave for the very first time
And it's in the heart of the soldier
As he takes a bullet on the front line
It's in the face of a mother
As she takes the force of a blow
And its in the hands of the father yeah
As he works his fingers to the bone yeah
I'm standing under a white flag oh
Can you see me oh, can you see me oh
I'm standing for everything we have oh
Can you hear me oh, can you hear me
This is why we do it this is worth the pain
This is why we bow down and get back up again
This is where the heart lies, this is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down, get back up again
Love is where the heart lies love is from above
Love is this, this is love
This is love (x3)
It's in the soul of a city
What it does after it crumbles and burns
And it's in the blood of a hero
To know where he goes he may never return yeah
I'm standing under a white flag oh
Can you see me oh, can you see me oooh
I'm standing for everything we have oh

Bridge (rap)
If you could be anywhere that you wanted to be
With anyone that you wanted to be with
Do anything that you wanted to do
What would it be and who would it be with you
Time flies but you're the pilot
It moves real fast but you're the driver
You may crash and burn sometimes
This is why we do it this is worth the pain
This is where we bow down get back up again
This is where the heart lies this is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it, love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down get back up again
Love is where the heart lies love is from above
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
How can I move on when I've been in love with you
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving
I'm not moving
Policeman says son you can't stay here
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving
People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl, oh whoa
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world
Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we meet
Oh, you see me waiting for you on a corner of the street
So I'm not moving
('Cause if one day you wake up, find that you're missing me)
I'm not moving
(And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be)
I'm not moving
(Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet)
I'm not moving
(Oh, you see me waiting for you on a corner of the street)
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Sometimes tears say all there is to say
Sometime your first scars won't ever fade away
Tried to break my heart, well it's broke
Tried to hang me high, well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me, well I'm soaked, soaked to the skin
It's the end where I begin, it's the end where I begin
Sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes
And sometimes we've no choice but to walk away, away
Tried to break my heart, well it's broke
Tried to hang me high, well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me, well I'm soaked, soaked to the skin
It's the end where I begin, it's the end where I begin
Now I'm alive and the ghosts are gone
I've shed all the pain, I've been holding on
The cure for a heart is to move along
So move along, so move along
Now I'm alive and the ghosts are gone
I've shed all the pain, I've been holding on
The cure for a heart is to move along
So move along, so move along
Now I'm alive and the ghosts are gone
I've shed all the pain, I've been holding on
What don't kill a heart only makes it strong
Sometimes tears say all there is to say
Sometimes your first scars don't ever fade away
Tried to break my heart, well it's broke
Tried to hang me high, well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me, well I'm soaked, soaked to the skin
It's the end, end where I, end where I, end where I begin
It's the end where I, end where I, end where I begin
Sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes
I can feel the colour running
As it's fading from my face
Try to speak but nothings coming
Nothing I could say that'll make you stay
Grabbed your suitcase called a taxi
It's 3am now where you gonna go?
Gonna stay with friends in London
And that's all I get to know
Just a cigarette gone
No you couldn't' be that far
So I'm driving in my car where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down
We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head
and try to open up your eyes
This is relationship suicide
Cos if you go, I go...
Taking shortcuts through the alleys
While your racing through my mind
Cops can chase but they wont catch me
Not before I get to speak my mind
If there's still time
Just a cigarette gone
No you couldn't be that far
So I'm driving in my car where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down
We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head
and try to open up your eyes
This is Relationship suicide
Cos if you go, I go...
Cos if you go, I go...
Cos if you go, I go...
Cos if you go, I go...
We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head
Just a cigarette gone
No you couldn't be that far
So I'm driving in my car where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can turn around
We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head
and try to open up your eyes
VERSE 1:
you've read the books, you've watched the shows
what's the best way, no one knows, yeah
meditate, get ,hypnotized
anything to take it from your mind
but it won't go
you're doing all these things out of desperation
you're going through six degrees of separation
you hit the drink, you take a toke
watch the past go up in smoke
you fake a smile, you lie and say
you're better now than ever and your life's ok
when it's not ...no
you're doing all these things out of desperation
you're going through six degrees of separation
CHORUS:
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you've fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little
No no there aint no help, it's every man for himself
VERSE 2:
you tell your friends, yeah, strangers too
anyone who'll throw an arm around you
tarrot cards, gems and stones
believing all that shit's gonna heal your soul
well it's not...no
you're only doing things out of desperation
you're going through six degrees of separation
CHORUS:
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you've fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little
BRIDGE:
oh no there's no starting over
without finding closure
you take them back no hesitation
that's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation
oh no there's no starting over her
without finding closure
you take them back no hesitation
that's how you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation
CHORUS:
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you've fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little
No no there aint no help, it's every man for himself
Tried to break love to a science
In an act of pure defiance, I broke her heart
And as I pulled apart her theories
As I watched her growing weary, I pulled her apart
Having heavy conversations
'Bout the furthest constellations of our souls, ooh
And we're just trying to find some meaning
In the things that we believe in, but we got some ways to go
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just knocks me dead
You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
I tried pushing evolution
As the obvious conclusion of the start
But it was for my own amusement
Saying love was an illusion of a hopeless heart
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that knocks me dead
You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just knocks me dead
You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
But you know you had it coming
Know you had it coming
Everyone's running from something
But we don't know when it's coming
So we keep running and running, gotta
Everyone's running from something
But we don't know when it's coming
So we keep running and running and running
Now I'm looking up the bible tryna find a loophole
Yeah, I'm living for revival dying for a new soul
Now there's no light to guide me on my way home
Now there's no time to shine my rusty halo
(It's been a long time coming)
It's been a long time
(It's been a long time coming)
Yeah, it's been a long time

Been so long, but I gotta shine, shine, shine
My rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo, whoa
Gotta shine my rusty halo
Now I'm running for the light in the tunnel but it's just the train
But it's just the train
Yeah, I'm looking for the right type of pleasure but all I find is pain
Now there's no light to guide me on my way home
Now there's no time to shine my rusty halo
(It's been a long time coming)
It's been a long time
(It's been a long time coming)
Yeah, it's been a long time

Everyone's running from something

So we keep running and running, gotta
Everyone's running from something
But we don't know when it's coming
So we keep running and running and running
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local
Down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying
Trying not to drag my feet
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'm never
Only they can see where this is gonna end
But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around
I now that I'm drunk but I see the worst
If she'll listen this time even though this lust
I'll dial her number and confess to her
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know I'm with her face to face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk stand by tend leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around
And I now that I'm drunk but I see the worst
If she'll listen this time even though this lust
I'll dial her number and confess to her
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing, oh, I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Then I ever was with her
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around
And I now that I'm drunk but I see the worst
If she'll listen this time even though this lust
I'll dial her number and confess to her
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing, I got nothing
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Whooo ooo
There are no words
Yeah, I swear this what is true
There aint no word in this world that describes you
I could talk all day long about life
After so many wars, how we're all still alive
I could speak all night long about the world
I'm gonna leave this place
I've made a snap decision
I'm gonna find another earth and start my own religion
There, I'm shooting through space
Where there ain't no division
I'm gonna see some change
That you wont see on television
No no ooh
Now it's started,
Over day we parted
Leaving you,
This heart aches till the song kicking in,
I'm ready to go
(Chorus)
I've got my moon boots on
And I'm the man on the mission
I've built a rocket to the sky
Gonna say goodbye,
Gonna cut of all transmission
Yeah (2x)
(Yeah yeah)
I've made to a far place
A stranger in a distant land
I've come my parachute off
To see if I could stand
I'm heading for breakthrough work
Somewhere were there ain't no feast
Discovering that the earth inside and same
The only difference, is you're not here, you're not here
No Job will start and
Over day, we parted...
Till the song kicking in and I'm ready to go
(Chorus)
Yeah yeah yeah...
(She said 5x)
She said why you're always getting at your face more
You're never happy while you're living in this place more
She said why you're all leaving us behind more
You're always trying while this wraps up your mind
(Chorus)
Yeah yeah...
I'm gonna leave this place
I've made a snap decision
There kicking us out saying it's time to close
We're leaning on each other try'na beat the cold
Carry your shoes and I give you my coat
Walking these streets like their paved gold
There anyone excuse's not to go
Neither one of us want to take that taxi home
ref.
Singing our hearts out standing on chairs
Spending our time like we are millionaires
Laughing our heads of, the two of us there
Spending our time like we are millionaires
Millionaires
ooohoh ooohoh
Lost my heart and I hope to die
Seeing that sunlight hit your eyes
Been up all night but you still look amazing to me
Yeah,
Half the time of the night you only dream about
If a god came down he could take me now
Cause in my mind, yeah we will always be
ref.
Singing our hearts out standing on chairs
Spending our time like we are millionaires
Laughing our heads of, the two of us there
Spending our time like we are millionaires
Millionaires

Look at us since six in the morning
If time was money, yeah we'd be worth a fortune
I swear you may think your'e rich
You could have a million euro but you cant buy this
bridge.
And the band was on, playing our song
We messed up the lyrics as we sang along
But we didn't care,
Cause it felt like we where the only ones there
My feet where sore, my bones where raw
They're turning off the lights, when we where shouting more
Shouting more,
ref.
Singing our hearts out standing on chairs
Spending our time like we are millionaires
Laughing our heads of, the two of us there
Spending our time like we are millionaires
Millionaires
ooohoh ooohoh
Look at us since six in the morning
If time was money, yeah we'd be worth a fortune
I swear you may think your'e rich
You could have a million euro but you cant buy this
Walking these streets like their paved gold
There anyone excuse's not to go
Neither one of us want to take that taxi home
Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's too late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would've done
Yeah, gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
Yeah, we got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we let fall out of our lives
So when we long for absolution
There'll be no one on the line
Yeah, gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' if
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
You never know a good thing till it's gone
You never see a crash until it's head on
All these people right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Yeah, gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' if
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Give me highs, give me lows,
Give me thorns with my rose
I want everything
When you laugh, when you cry,
If you're sober or high,
I want everything
Give me love or hate,
You can bend me 'til I break
Give me fire, give me rain,
I want joy with my pain
I want your fears, your hopes,
The whole kaleidoscope
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide with you
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide with you
Oh oh oooh yeah
Give me nothing, give me faith,
I want give with my take,
I want everything
Give me life, give me death,
Or your biggest regrets,
I want everything
Show me your fears, show me your scars,
I'll take whatever is left of your heart
Give me heaven, give me hell,
All the dreams you try to sell,
I want your fears, your hopes,
The while kaleidoscope
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide with you
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide with you
Oh oh oooh yeah
Without you it's shadows through night's black pitch,
There's a hundred thousand light bulbs but there ain't no switch
Living in darkness, fear in the night,
Oh what a feeling when I see that light
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide with you
With you, with you
Our colours come alive when I collide with you
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
Tell me if you see Kay
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
Tell me if you see Kay
She said I won the battle but I lost the war
And now my head is sore
And if I try and sail back in
She's gonna push me from the shore
Now I won't ever get the time of day
No way, no way, no
Not for what I said but for what I didn't say
What I didn't say
So if you see Kay will you tell her that I love her?
And if you see Kay let her know I want her back
If she listens say I miss her, everything about her
Make sure you say I'm sweet FA without her if you see Kay
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
Tell me if you see Kay
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
Tell me if you see Kay
She got me saying sorry through the door
She don't care anymore
She says it's to late now
Should have thought of this before
But I ain't gonna take this as defeat
No way, no way, no
'Cause I'm gonna shout it out
To everyone I, everyone I meet
If you see Kay will you tell her that I love her, oh yeah?
And if you see Kay let her know I want her back
If she listens say I miss her, everything about her
Make sure you say I'm sweet FA without her if you see Kay
Now I'm sitting here in disbelief
How it truly broke my heart to have to watch her leave
But she was torn between what she wants and what she needs
They say you love someone enough you've gotta set them free
She said that she was born to leave this town behind
Knew the truth but still looked me in the eyes and lied
Saying it's time to cut the ties, time to say goodbye so she left
But she never, never left my, never, never left my mind
If you see Kay will you tell her that I love her, oh yeah?
And if you see Kay let her know I want her back
If she listens say I miss her, everything about her
Make sure you say I'm sweet FA without her
And make sure you say I lost my way without her if you see Kay
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
Tell me if you see Kay
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
Tell me if you see Kay
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
Tell me if you see Kay
If you see my friend, doesn't matter where or when
If you're standing with your suitcase
But you can't step on the train
Everything's the way that you left it
I still haven't slept yet
And if you're covering your face now
But you just can't hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter
But eating without ya
If the truth is you're a liar
Then just say that you're okay
I'm sleepin' on your side of the bed
Goin' out of my head now
And if you're out there tryna move on
But something pulls you back again
I'm sitting here tryna persuade you
Like you're in the same room
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never crossed your mind
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back
Now they say I'm wasting my time
'Cause you're never comin' home
But they used to say the world was flat
But how wrong was that now?
And by leavin' my door open
I'm riskin' everything I own
Something I can lose in the breakin'
That you haven't taken
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you can still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never crossed your mind
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
Oh, just remember this, oh, just remember this
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
It was February fourteen, Valentine's Day
The roses came, but they took you away
Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone
And I'll never get to show you these songs
Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on,
I see you standing there next to Mom
Always singing along, yeah arm in arm
And there are days when I'm losing my faith
Because the man wasn't good he was great
He'd say music was the home for your pain
And explain, I was young, he would say
"Take that rage, put it on a page
Take the page to the stage
Blow the roof off the place"
I'm tryna make you proud
Do everything you did
I hope you're up there with God
Saying that's my kid
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now
(Oh if you could see me now)
If you could see me now would you recognize me
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me
Would you follow every line on my tear stained face
Put your hand on a heart that's was cold as the day you were taken away
I know its been awhile but I could you see clear as day
Right now, I wish I could hear you say
I drink too much and I smoke too much dutch
But if you can't see me now that shit's a must
You used to say I won't know---
Like I wont' know real love till I've loved then I've lost it
And if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son
And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now
So if you get a second to look down at me now
Mom, Dad, I just missing you now
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now
Oh.. Oh..
Would you call me a saint or a sinner?
Would you love me a loser or winner?
Oh.. Oh..
When I see my face in the mirror
We look so alike that it makes me
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now
Oh..
You could see, you could see me now
You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
Listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap your thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much but I'm yours
You healed these scars over time
Embraced my soul, you loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came, my best friend died
My knees went weak and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much but I'm yours
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
Neither one of us is getting out of here alive
Both of us are stranded and we won't make it back inside
The whole world is blowing away
We just watch it pass us by
Ya, it swept up both our
Feet when we meet in the northern sky
Like thunder and lightning go in the one
Together we make a perfect storm
You're like the wind I'm like the rain
Together we both make hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
We're heading towards each other at 150 miles an hour
Knocking us of course with the forces once you feel the power
Where tryna get away tryna clear the path
From everything we buried in the aftermath
Swear like a super sale legging getting lager and lager
Like thunder and lightning go in the one
Together we make a perfect storm
You're like the wind I'm like the rain
Together we both make hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
On my own I'm just another cold rainy day
Before the winter gone along and take me away
But she's just a breeze on a sunny day
But once the two of us together
Man were blown away
Like thunder and lightning go in the one
Together we make a perfect storm
You're like the wind I'm like the rain
Together we both make hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes

Oh if you could see me now
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow?
Oh if you could see me now
Oh...
You could see, you could see me now
My hands are cold my body's numb
I'm still in shock what have you done
My head is poundin, my vision's blur
Your mouth is moving, I don't hear a word
And it hurts so bad that I search my skin
For the entry point, where love went in
And ricocheted and bounced around
And left a hole when you walked out yeah
Chorus
I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Whoooooaa uuuh where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wounds, where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
Marks a battle still feel raw
A million pieces of me on the floor
I'm damaged goods for all to see
Now who would ever want to be with me
I've got all the baggage drink the pills
Yeah this is living but without the will
I'm Blacken out I'm shutting down
You've left a hole, you walked out yeah
Chorus
I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wounds ... where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wounds .... where their leaving, the scars you're keepin
Loose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are
That's who you are
Marks a battle still feel raw
A million pieces of me on the floor
Chorus
I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wounds ... where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
(Verse 1)
You knocked me sideways
When you said that you were leaving.
You knocked me over
When you cried and told the truth.
And you left me speechless
The secrets you've been keeping
You're running now, cause someone's chasing you
And you bought a ticket
But you don't know where you're going
And you won't tell me
For fear I'll follow soon
And you're tryin' to save me
From your past bad decisions
But my decision's always gonna be
To follow you (To follow you)
(Chorus)
Never gonna stop 'til the clock stops tickin'
Never gonna quit 'til my legs stop kickin'
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (Yeah)
No I'm never givin' up 'til my heart stops beatin'
Never lettin' go 'til my lung stops breathing
I will follow you and we'll both go missin' (Yeah)
No I, And we don't even know where we're going
But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing (Ooh)
Verse 2
I woke up this morning
To a kiss just like a whisper
An empty suitcase
And I knew that you were gone
And you left the motel
When you're headin' off of nowhere
But the lady on the door said
You haven't left that long,long,No...
(Chorus)
And we don't even know where we're going
But I'm feeling with you and I'm glowing (Ooh)
(Bridge)
I still watch as she's runnin' away
So she was born to live this way
Bad man's gonna take her away,take her away,Yeah
I still watch as she's runnin' away
So she was born to live this way
I'll never let a bad man take you away,take you away
So I'll
(Chorus)
And we don't even know where we're going
But I'm feeling with you and I'm glowing (Ooh)
And we drove all night with all we got
We have everything we own in a cardboard box
And we drove all night with all we got
We got everything we own in a cardboard box
And we drove all night with all we got
To your brother, to your sister, to your misses, to your mister.
To your friends, to your foes, give the love around and back around it
Goes.
It all comes from the top and it spreads right round
Treat a man wrong he's gonna pass it on down
To the next in line, who's probably his wife bringing up his kids
Now watching mamma cry
And they pick it up, cause they learn everything
Life has a funny way of going in a ring,
End up growing up in trouble with the law
Standing in the cuffs that the father once wore
Now it seems that every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in the foundation
Their trying to fill the holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost it's trust (that's lost it's trust)
We gotta change before the train leaves the station and realize the
Revolution in a revelation it takes blood, sweat, tears, innovation It
Starts with us, it starts with us.
(Chorus)
Yeah, stuffs like, give the love to your brother,
Give the love to your sister,
Give the love to your misses,
Love to your mister
Give the love to your friends,
Love to your foes,
Give the love around and back around it goes (X2)
Round it goes, round it goes, round it goes goes goes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Oh we're all just folks working in a wheel
Spinning all around life's cruel battlefield
Draw circles in the sand on a rainy day,
Watch it wash away I bet it shows up on a sunny beach a thousand miles away
Flutter from a butterfly forms a storm
Over half a million people die Oh we don't care because we're all
Desensitized
We don't realize we're putting all this shit before our children's eyes
Now every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in their foundation
We're tryna fill a holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost it's trust (that lost it's trust)
We gotta change before the train leaves the station
And realize the revolution in a revelation
It takes blood, sweat, tears, innovation It starts with us, it starts with
(Chorus)
Give the love around and back around it goes (around it goes)
Give the love around and back around it goes (around it goes)
Love to your friends (around it goes)
To your folks (around it goes)
Give the love around, back around it goes See the thing about
Karma is she loves a bit of drama, yeah
Loves to hunt you down and pay ya back for the things you did
Before you turn a positive to a negative
Better pray before you know exactly who the fuck you're dealing with
This is not a dance rehearsal, let me tell you kid
Whatever you put out there is coming back again
Years may burn (ohh)
Tables gonna turn
Karma's coming back around
Either way you're gonna learn
To give love to your neighbour, love to yourself
It don't matter bout your status
Man your health is your wealth
We can all point a finger but there's four pointing back at yourself
I'll be the bigger man now Give a little help
(Chorus)
Give the love around back around it goes
Around it goes (x2)
Give the love around back around it goes
Around it goes (x4)
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar and we don't know how
How we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work, but, man, these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I got a new job now on the unemployment line and we don't know how
How we got into this mess, is it God's test? Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best
Trying to make things work, but, man, these times are hard
But we're gonna stop by drinking our cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
She's in line at the dole with her head held high
While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride, and we both now how
How we're going to make it work when it hurts, when you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
Tryin' to make it work, but, man, these times are hard
But we're gonna start by drinking our cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, doing things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Drinking our cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
For the first time
Oh, for the first time
Yeah, for the first time
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me, baby
Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a god that I don't believe in
'Cos I got time while she got freedom
'Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
The best days of a summer far worse
She'll find a man and a man who's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake shes no trouble sleeping
'cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces
They say that things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even ohhh
And what am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
And what am I suppposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm faling to piecesx3
I'm still alive but the other one's leaving
'cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the blame
you took the suitcase - I took the blame
Now I'm trying to make sense of what little remains
Oh cos you left me with no love in order to remain
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a god that I don't believe in
'Cos I got time while she got freedom
'Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break no it don't
break no it don't break even
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even
And what am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
I'm faling to piecesx3
I'm still alive but the other one's leaving.
I'm faling to pieces
'cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Oh it don't break even no, it don't break even no
it don't break even no
Does that bring you down, down, down?
Does that bring you down, down, down?
Does that bring you down, down, down?
Does that bring you down, down, down?
Don't keep yourself away, don't live your life that way
Of course, he's gonna say anything you want
Then leave quicker than he came, now you got yourself to blame
Don't put yourself back in the fire again
It's the same damn things you're so quick to believe
You do it over and over again
And it's the same mistakes that I'm watching you weep
You do it over and over again
So before they bring you down
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
No, you'll fall for anything, no, you'll fall for
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
No, you'll fall for anything, no, you'll fall for
Love that bring you down, down, down
Love that bring you down, down, down
Love that bring you down, down, down
Love that bring you down, down, down
Oh, please don't be so naive, don't wait 'till your heart bleeds
Love wasn't built for speed, listen to me girl
He keeps fuckin' with your head, tryna get you into bed
And in the morning you'll just hate yourself
It's the same damn things you're so quick to believe
You do it over and over again
And it's the same mistakes that I'm watching you make
You do it over and over and over again
Before they bring you down
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
No, you'll fall for anything, no, you'll fall for
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
No, you'll fall for anything, no, you'll fall for
Love that bring you down, down, down
Love that bring you down, down, down
Love that bring you down, down, down
Love that bring you down, down, down
And you give until there's nothing to give
Until there's nothing to give, until there's nothing to give
And you give until there's nothing to give
Until there's nothing to give, until there's nothing to give
And you give until there's nothing to give
Until there's nothing to give, until there's nothing to give
Before they bring you down
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
No, you'll fall for anything, no, you'll fall for
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for everything
No, you'll fall for anything, no, you'll fall for
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
No, you'll fall for anything, no, you'll fall for
You've gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
No, you'll fall for anything
Before they bring you down, down, down
'Cause girl they'll bring you down, down, down
'Cause they'll bring you down, down, down
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
[x2]
I see you standing there but you're already gone
I'm holding your hand but you're barely holding on
I'm kissing your lips but it just don't feel the same
Am I a dead man now left living with the blame
Oh, I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
Already broken, already gone
Already know you're moving on
(Am I breathing) talking

Already see it in your face
Already someone in my place

(Dead man) walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man
We're in the same room just one million miles away
With all these books around but we ain't got two words
to say
Am I a dead man now left living with the shame
Already broken, already gone
Already know you're moving on
(Am I breathing) talking
(Dead man) walking
Already see it in your face
Already someone in my place

[x2]
I'm in the boot of a car breathing air through a hole
She's driving me down to the river
She'll watch over me in the tears in her eyes
Couldn't dig my own grave any deeper
She's pushing me blindfolded down to my knees
But her finger still shakes on the trigger
She's untying my hands though I gave her the rope
This is so much harder to leave her, leave her, leave
When you're forgiving but you can't forget
Feels like you're drowning but you still got breath
And we've been tryna lay this ghost to rest
Oh but there ain't no getting out of this mess
No there ain't no getting out
There ain't no getting out
There ain't no getting out of this mess
Now she's showing me mercy as much as she can
She's letting me live with my demons
See her washing her hands as she's walking away
Oh but still she looks back, she looks back
But she's leaving, she's leaving
When you're forgiving but you can't forget
Feels like you're drowning but you still got breath
And we've been tryna lay this ghost to rest
Oh but there ain't no getting out of this mess
No there ain't no getting out
There ain't no getting out
There ain't no getting out of this mess
No there ain't no getting out
No there ain't no getting out of this mess
What's done is done
Can't resurrect the setting sun
What's done is done
Oh you can't reverse the bullet from a gun
What's done is done
Can't resurrect the setting sun
What's done is done
Oh you can't reverse the bullet from a gun
When you're forgiving but you can't forget
Feels like you're drowning but you still got breath
And we've been tryna lay this ghost to rest
Oh but there ain't no getting out of this mess
When you're forgiving but you can't forget
Feels like you're drowning but you still got breath
And we've been tryna lay this ghost to rest
Oh but there ain't no getting
There ain't no getting out of this mess
Out of this mess
Out of this mess
Out of this mess
Out of this mess
Out of this mess
This time he's gonna wear an iron suit,
This time she's gonna fix her heart and make it
bulletproof,
He says he's gonna take a bite from the forbidden
fruit,
She says never never bite more than you can chew,
But this time he's not gonna be another coulda' been,
This time's she's gonna get real, love the skin she's
He says a winner never quit, quitters never win,
She's says this time she's built to face anything,
This time he's gonna stand for who he is,
This time she's gonna live to work, she's not working
to live,
He says just because you say it's true, it don't mean
it is,
She says if it seems too good to be true, well then it
probably is,
This time he's hell bent, yeah, he's heaven bound,
This time she's gonna pick herself up, no more breaking
down,
He says he's gonna turn the wheel, turn this shit
around,
She says if he's looking for love, then she don't wanna
be found, oh
Shoot across the sky like a broken arrow,
It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and
narrow,
When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow,
Full of hope...
Yeah, when you hit the ground, it's hard to get to
heaven when you're full hell bound!
(Oooh,oooh yeah)
This time he's gonna make it through the aftermath,
This time she's gonna raise her head and choose the
righteous path,
He said well maybe we'll look back and it will make us
laugh,
She said better to have and not need, than to need and
not have,
Not matter what the cost, it's better to have nothing
lost,
Have you ever met a man who never loved at all?
Yeah the higher they are, the bigger they fall,
You have to choose something cos you can't have it all,
No, he's not gonna be the last to the finish line,
She said think even losers get lucky sometimes,
He says it's gonna get better like a fine wine,
She says it's hard to smell the roses when the sun
don't shine,
This time he's gonna find another way,
This time she's gonna take it to the good old days,
With no air to grace it, only warm embraces,
We're just two little street angels with dirty faces,
Shoot across the sky like a broken arrow, (shoot across
the sky)
It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and
narrow, (Oh hard to keep yourself)
When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow,
(shoot across the sky)
Full of hope...
Yeah, when you hit the ground, it's hard to get to
heaven when you're full hell bound!
Yeah, when you hit the ground, it's hard to get to
heaven when you're full hell bound!
Yeah when you hit the ground, it's hard to get to
heaven when you're full hell bound!
Every break, every burn,
Every toss, every turn,
Every sin, anything you've learned
It's all programmed, all programmed
Every break, every burn,
Every toss, every turn,
Every sin, everything we've learned
It's all programmed, all programmed
Shoot across the sky like a broken arrow,
It's so hard to keep yourself on the straight and
narrow,
When you shoot across the sky like a broken arrow,
Full of hope...
Yeah, when you hit the ground, it's hard to get to
heaven when you're full hell bound!
Yeah, when you hit the ground, it's hard to get to
heaven when you're full hell bound!
Yeah, when you hit the ground, it's hard to get to
heaven when you're full hell bound!
(Broken arrow, broken arrow,
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no
What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no
What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break
No it don't break, no it don't breakeven, no
What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
It?s been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day that you walked
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
So explain to me how it came to this
Take it back to the night we kissed
It was Dublin city on a Friday night
With vodkas and coke, I was getting insomniac
We were sitting with our backs against the world
Saying things that we thought but never heard
Oh, who would've thought it would end up like this
But everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decided it?s time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let?s try and take it back before it all went wrong
There was a time that we?d stay up all night
Best friends, yeah talking 'til the daylight
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to lose but so much to gain
Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don?t wanna miss
That you would drift on memory bliss
It was Grafton street on a rainy night
I was down on one knee and you were mine for life
We were thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Oh, who would've thought it would end up like this
But everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decided it?s time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let?s try and take it back before it all went wrong
If the clouds don't clear
Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it
Heavens gate is so near, come walk with me through
Just like we used to, just like we used to, yeah, yeah
Let's take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decide it's time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong
Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong
My head is saying "no"
But my heart keeps giving in
So hard to let it go
When it's there, under my skin.
Well if this is the face of a sinner
And if heaven is only for winners
Well I don't care
Cause I won't know
Anybody there.
Thought that I'd let it slide
But it's me that's slipping in
Thought that I'd go for a ride
Before this crash I'm dying in.
Well if I'm judged on the life I've been living
And if heaven is not so forgiving
Well I don't care
Cause I won't know
Anybody there.
I don't care
Cause I won't know
Anybody there.
My head is saying "no"
But my heart keeps giving in
So hard to let it go
When it's there, under my skin.
Well if I'm judged on the life I've been living
And if heaven is not so forgiving
Well I don't care
Cause I won't know
Anybody there.
I don't care,
Cause I won't know
Anybody there.
I don't care,
Cause I won't know
Anybody there.
Is there anybody there?
Is there anybody there?
She told me that I talk nonsense
She said I never boost her confidence
She came home wearing a brand new dress
But I never gave her a compliment
No emotion, no attention
She wants me to pop the question
But I never said a word
Not even a mention
That's why they call me a bad boy
They call me a bad boy
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad boy
I know she knows, I know she ain't the one
She calls me every name under the sun
Waste man, lazy, she's mad, she's crazy
She ain't the girl that you wanna lie to
But like a fool one day I still try to
Like I never forgot your birthday
I was just trying to surprise you
She told me that I talk nonsense
She said I never boost her confidence
She came home wearing a brand new dress
But I never gave her a compliment
No emotion, no attention
She wants me to pop the question
But I never said a word
Not even a mention
That's why they call me a bad boy
They call me a bad boy
I know you're buff, I know you're pretty
But listen up, honey, I'm not Billy
You're too deep in love
You need to jump out the water like Free Willy
'Cause all you do is just moan and complain
It was all good when your friend came
But any time my friends wanna come around
You start going insane in the membrane
She told me that I talk nonsense
She said I never boost her confidence
She came home wearing a brand new dress
But I never gave her a compliment
No emotion no attention
She wants me to pop the question
But I never said a word
Not even a mention
That's why they call me a bad boy
They call me a bad boy
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
That's why they call me a bad boy
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad
They call me a bad

I never have a dream when I go to sleep at night
my dream begins when I walk outside
now I'm on stage and I feel like I'm looking through Michael Jacksons eyes
stories, rumours and accusations so I gotta stay self conscious of my hand gestures before they call me a Mason or say that I'm working with satan
but even a blind man could see, I would never sell my soul for the P
when you're looking at Skepta, you're looking at grime so the only thing I gotta stay true to is me
I don't need a helping hand, stand up tall, I'm my own man
find me on the tallest building in the country singing as loud as I can
[N-Dubz - Chorus]
I-I feel so alive, so alive
(S-K-E-P-T-A)
Got my two feet on the ground
but it feels like I'm in the sky
it's time to enjoy the sun cause we made it through the rain
put your hands up in the sky like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive
(Boy Better Know-oh-oh, yeah)
[Dappy]
Shit what have I done
raa, everyone singing along to my bars
went triple platinum, see me I'm trying to do what Elvis done
and the stage is way too big for me
Labels never thought this guy from the ghetto could make all these girls sing for me
nana, nana, nana, niiiiii
I got a big NANA chain hanging down to my navel
tell the bartender "take a fat bottle of champagne to Polydor's table"
big men acting like school kids
say there gonna run up on me with a full clip
so I pull down the two flaps on my cap cause I didn't want to hear that bullshit
[N-Dubz - Chorus]
I-I feel so alive, so alive
(D-A-Double P-to-the-Z)
Got my two feet on the ground
but it feels like I'm in the sky
it's time to enjoy the sun cause we made it through the rain
put your hands up in the sky like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive
[Fazer]
It's time to get dark
Blacker than Cilla
Fazer aka 6 figure n-gga
man said I got robbed for my chain
until I put a picture on Skepta's twitter
when I go to the Gucci store I dress rags
security think that I aint gonna buy shit
then I pull out my card, swipe it, bowl out with 20 bags
If i like them, cop them, f-ck the hater, can't stop them
MC's wanna diss N-Dubz but they can't get a top twenty let alone a top ten
so if it weren't for the fans I woulda had a haters blood on my hands
I'mma mastermind behind the keyboard so I'mma carry on stacking up these grands
Only got 1 bottle when iIwalked through the door
1 oclock and I bought one more
2 oclock in the corner skanking
2.30 I bought one more
1 bottle when I walk through the door
1 oclock and I bought one more
2 oclock in the corner skanking
2.30 I bought one more

Well i been breaking it down for you baby,
Been running around, I cant see no love for me,
Somebody rescue me
Im the king of the town Mr crazy,
creating the sound, there's still no love for me,
somebody rescue me,
Just rescue me,
Rescue me,
Rescue me
Skepta
They call me S-K-E-P-T-A,
Before i start i just wanna say,
Boy Better Know all day,
I got bumble bee's tryin to figure out how i got this buzz,
All i want is a kiss and a hug but somebody told specsavers i still cant see no love,
Days, month, years, blood, sweat, tears,
I walk the street of london facing my fears,
And everydays like truth or dare,
So spin that bottle,
Cus if it lands on me, imma stay true to my word,
I dont want anymore respect than i deserve
Well i been breaking it down for you baby,
Been running around i cant see no love for me,
somebody rescue me
Im the king of the town Mr crazy
creating the sound, theres still no love for me,
Somebody rescue me,
Just rescue me,
Rescue me,
Rescue me
Skepta
Just, no ceiling, no doors, i walk all over the beat,
No floors i tell a hater i love you loads,
Tell a supporter how i love you more,
And they say ive changed, I say im making a change,
I left the road making a brand new lane,
Still i get no thank you, no round of applause,
So i keep on driving, im upset but i keep on smiling,
And when i get knocked down i get back on my two feet and i keep on fighting,
I sacrifice still privacy so i can live my dream what a irony,
Cus now my reality is far from the place i would like to be,
Well i been breaking it down for you baby,
Been running around i cant see no love for me
somebody rescue me
Im the king of the town Mr crazy
creating the sound
theres still no love for me
somebody rescue me
I would hate me too
If I had the same myspace views as you
If I saw Skepta go from sitting on the wall
To sitting in a white V6 Coop
I think I'm the best and I call it competitve confidence
Not Vanity
It's not my fault them man have got a childish mentality
And they don't know how to make a tune for the mainstream radio road man
And the stageshow at the same time
Watch what too many man and sunglasses at night do in two double o nine
Let me tell you why I'm the king of grime
You write a hundred million different flows
I write that classical line to last me my whole life time
[Chorus]
I wouldn't like me either
If I had a flow like yours that left no space for a breather
Then Skepta comes around
With a flow that breaks down
More times then a P reg Vauxhall Tiva
Too book Skepta ain't getting no cheaper
But promoters still want me to feature
Your sitting at home telling yourself the shit weed your smoking is a creeper
It's not creeping
Stop lying to yourself fam you might as well have bought Sisha
I'm too real nobody realer
Too deep nobody deeper
Flow like gus will nigger street sweeper
[Chorus]
Wouldn't even come out their yard
About victim
You think I rap way too fast and your thinking this grime thing ain't the in ting
But you know what I hear that killer
But don't mistake me for that nigger
I get mad when I think this ting's got me spitting with people like Boya and Saskilla
Look right
It's not what it looks like
I stay with gang live a good life
I used to shot grams on a push bike
But I wern't a brand name like suk knight
I took time I kept a low profile I had the food that make that cats go wild
Before music I had a booming line
[Skepta:]
All my old school teachers wanna beg friends with joseph
I get doh, bread, HOVIS
Me and my paper stick together like sticha and otis
Girl better know boy better know this
Brought an R6 got chased by boy dem and got shift
Then I got a fine and 6 month driving ban so I sold it
Am on the tottenham team like lennon
Meridan walking one seven
You mandem turnt bad in 07
WAIT
Can you smell that
What's that chesse or lemon
Wrap that up like a christmas present
Pablo pass me the ting I will shoot from anywere like david beckham
[Chrous:]
You must be smoking the rocks
I open you up
When am holding the glock
I'll take you over the top [x2]
[Bossman:]
I make paper
Diss me I will put your face in the paper
Ask skeps ask hater
They'll tell you bossman his a bader
I carry more weight than a weighter
In my hooded stone island blazer
Don't tell me about skeng
Cause on my gun I carry lazer
Am hard when I spray
These mans could'ntgive half what I say
If I should you what the skeng done to his head
The judge woulda gave me life that day
Can't stop now it's too late
Am infamous face is bait
Hold tight junior, shout out drake
One gun merdian estate
[Chrous:]
You must be smoking the rocks
I open you up
When am holding the glock
I'll take you over the top [x2]
[Big H:]
Back to the jungle back to my roots
Tell pablo strap up the zoots
Call up the soilders, bring out the troops
Just like stryder tings in boots
Man all the handstand, jump through hoops
I don't wanna hear about, abandon groups
18 shots that will take off Who?
Hold tight the youngers big up the youts
Can't ask me why I look vexed
It's not wretch, it's not ghetts
It's not Jay-Z or DMX
Spray out the place and ask whos nexts
Send for your armour put on your vest
That don't might I will step in your chest
18 shots will leave man in a mess
H corparation, You Know the rest
[Chrous:]
You must be smoking the rocks
I open you up
When am holding the glock
[JME:] Oh my days Oh my gosh [x8]
[Verse 1:]
Here we go again
I got locked up by the po po again
I've been in here since half past ten
It's half past two now when's all this gonna end
I only had one phonecall so I used it
To call my best friend
I told him get all the stuff out the house
Before the po po come searching the prem
The fed keeps looking at me through the flap
Blad, go check somebody else
He took my shoelaces n took my belt
Look we both know there's no way I can hang myself
One minute I saw blue lights
The next minute I'm getting read my rights
Officer the cuffs are way too tight
Your taking the piss out my life
It's a hypppeee
[Chorus:]
When I woke up this morning
I never thought I'd be sitting in a cell
On a blue mat no blanket yawning
Hoping that I get bail
Mum said that I gotta change my ways
But I'm a typical man wanna be a boss
But then I got shift like oh my days
Now I'm sitting in the cell like oh my gosh
[JME:] Oh my days Oh my gosh [x8]
[Verse 2:]
Na no I don't wanna cup of tea
Just press R-E-C-O-R-D
My name's Joe all I just wanna say N-O
C-O double M E-N-T
Only thing I know about is me
Chat about next man I can't hear or see
Never talk on behalf of my co - d
And I don't want a quiet word with a PC
I don't wanna cigarette no I don't smoke
And I definatly don't wanna bust no joke
I know blacks but I don't know brown
N I don't like fizzy drinks I don't know about no coke
One minute I saw blue lights
The next minute I'm getting read my rights
Officer the cuffs are way too tight
Your taking the piss out my life
It's a hypppeee
See I used to think like you
So to diss you wouldn't be fair
But at the same time if I listen to what you tell me I wouldn't be here
Shit turns to gold when I touch it
So me looking at youtube comments is counter-productive
Cos none of that criticism is constructive
So I switch off the mac like f*** this
You're never gonna see me switchin'
Another twitter account with no pic, 10 followers, following everybody he's dissing
I found myself now I'm missing
They love the grime flow I'm spitting
I took it to the chart now they're listening
I can't wait till I'm on tour I'm itchin'
Make some noise
Somebody tell Will Smith I am Legend
What dya know about looking in the fridge and all you can see is a white light like heaven
When I was young I used to beg mum for some money to buy a birthday present
And now parents want to book me for a sweet 16
I'm a birthday present
[Chorus]
They didn't want to rate me
But all my supporters came together and saved me
Tears in my eyes
Head high, pointing to the sky
Screaming nobody made me, nobody made me
Put your hands in the air
For the grime MC of the year
Some say I came out of nowhere
Little d'they know it's been a four year nightmare
Running around with no runner
Had to pay for my own radio plugger
Watch'd everybody eating
While I sat there with no bread, no butter
I told myself I gotta do this
Whatever the weather I get through this
Long as I keep making the hits
My distributors gotta move those units
So I never gave up hoping, naa
Forget crying and sulking
They said I was too grimey
Now me and P. Diddy on the iChat laughing and joking
Make some noise
And I hope all you A and R's heard that
I got so much more that I wanna say
But I'm looking foward I cant turn back
Remember it's boy better know all year from october to september
We built this ourselves so the only man that can ever knock me down is Skepta
[Chorus]
They didn't want to rate me
But all my supporters came together and saved me
Tears in my eyes
Head high, pointing to the sky
[Verse 1: Skepta]
Listen to my emotions I'm letting out she came in a taxi I'm watching her as shes getting out. It's that pretty face and the sexy body that I'm checking out, and I nearly died when I saw them Ed Hardy shoes stepping out.
You know how much work I put into get this princess to my place, we can take I(t fast take it slow princess this ain't a race.
Kiss my neck kiss my chest and kiss below my waist, what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom I ain't watching faze.
[Chorus: Skepta]
You're doing a madness to my head. [x4]
[Verse 2: Skepta]
I ain't playing with you this ain't no game, we can look at each other in the mirror who said that we can't be vain.
Then I turn you round pick you up so you can see my name, I'm looking in your eyes so deep I think I see your brain.
Your sexy voice sounds sweet to the ear like a song Bob Marley sang, I wanna throw you in a ring give you a body drop and a power slam.
The way I start whistling in the bedroom just call me Macho Man or call me Junior call me Joseph or Ed Hardy Dan.
[Chorus: Skepta]
You're doing a madness to my head. [x8]
[Verse 3: Skepta]
We ain't together so there's no breaking up and it don't look like were gonna argue so there's no making up.
I can tell that I'm doing the right thing by the way shes shaking up, and I swear princess if this is a dream then I ain't waking up because...
[Chorus: Skepta]
You're doing a madness to my head. [x8]
Where?
London.
London?
London.
London?
Yes, London! You know: fish, chips cup o' tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins, London.
Whoo Kid
[Skepta]
Too many wannabe badboys flexin' like they're so rowdy
Look a badboy straight in the face, tell him I'm a real badboy f-ck Mike Lowery
I don't take disrespect neither do the guys that are standing around me
I do it how they didn't wanna do it now they wanna try an do it but I'm telling them 'low me
When I shut one eye and aim, I hit the target
Ben Cook now sitting at home now tryna figure out how he f-cked up his artist
If the game was a tray full of ice cubes then I'll be the coldest and the hardest
The last MC that dissed me, blood on the ceiling, blood on the carpet
See I've got more heart than Tony Hawk but when I'm riding I ain't ramping
I'm ready for all out war them man are lying on the floor camping
said keep it professional, Skepta forget the mad ting
I just say Candyman five times in the mirror but nothing ain't happening
When I say that I stick it in the pussy'ole, cuz it ain't no sexual innuendo
I been producing since Mario came on the Super Nintendo
So if a man wants to violate me I will make this beat at the fastest tempo
Kill another MC then go Spain and change my name to Lorenzo
[Sample]
What happened to him?
He got shot in the face Lincoln. I would have thought that was obvious.
What'd you do that for? You mistake him for a rabbit? What do you want me to do about it?
Sort it out.
I'm not a f-cking witch doctor.
But you are a bad boy yardie and bad boy yardies are supposed to know how to get rid of bodies.
I create the bodies. I don't erase the bodies.
There ain't no clowns round here when I find one go to the circus
F-ck a suspended sentence, I'll re-offend if I ever get nervous
I say what I mean, mean what I say so when I say it I'm saying it on purpose
I tell a man that wants to rob me don't bother coming if you ain't got burners
I gave up smoking and then I got stressed out told KJ get the weed in
Lying in bed paranoid thoughts in my head, staring at the ceiling
100 nightmares in my brain clearly tryna stop me sleeping
1000 diamonds in my chain and its hurting a lot of mans feelings
You wanna know why they call me Guy Fawkes in the club just look at my table
Now they wanna know what Skepta's worth they wish they knew my appraisal
Black carbon fibre on the roof of the white Audi I'm so interracial
I start with a little bit of foreplay, have sex then finish off with a facial
When it comes to the bedroom ladies better know I'm so X-rated
I met her on Monday made love on the same day 'cause I ain't Craig David
Big high grade spliff, Courvoursier n-gga I'm so wasted
I can't drive like this but it's okay because Jamie's driving a spaceship
