Different Lives
There’s a maze I get lost in every day, with all of my thoughts running on replay I wish I could just speak, and let all of my opinions free There are hundreds of things I want to say, but I can’t just yell them right away there’s danger in my words and safety in my secrecy there’s a galaxy inside me and if you ever need to find me... I won’t fade away, I’ll be here Even on the greyest day, I won’t disappear So don’t pretend that you can’t hear me, don’t pretend that you can’t see me or look at me with all of that pity in your eyes Cause we’re all just people living different lives I get scared sometimes when it's 2am, wishing I could start my life all over again but every life is hard, and I guess I'm used to this one now It could be a bit better but truth be told, so could every other thing that's in this world and I know that I will grow to love my weaknesses somehow there’s a galaxy inside me and if you ever need to find me... I won’t fade away, I’ll be here Even on the greyest day, I won’t disappear So don’t pretend that you can’t hear me, don’t pretend that you can’t see me or look at me with all of that pity in your eyes Cause we’re all just people living different lives There's a galaxy inside me and a galaxy in you There are black holes in my mind that I occasionally fall through, but maybe you could be my sun and I c an try to be your moon I won’t fade away, I’ll be here Even on the greyest day, I won’t disappear So don’t pretend that you can’t hear me, don’t pretend that you can’t see me or look at me with all of that pity in your eyes Cause we’re all just people living different lives we’re all just people living different lives Promise I'll Forget
I promise that I will have forgotten you by tomorrow I'll try with all of my might, I've got no time left to borrow Don't lie to me oh can't you see I knew that it would end this way The grass is only greener where the clouds decide to rain But it's falling too fast, falling too hard Why can't the past just be disregarded so we can restart Admit all our mistakes were just mistook and write a new beginning to our book Write a new beginning to our book I promise that I will have forgotten you by tomorrow I'll try with all of my might, I've got no time left to borrow Don't lie to me oh can't you see I knew that it would end this way The grass is only greener where the clouds decide to rain but it's missing the grass and going down the drain I wasn't right, but I wasn't wrong so I'll take my flight, just like a songbird singing her song I'll fly up North to a place where I can roam and if the winter is too cold I might come home If the winter gets too cold I'll travel home Home, the only place where I can be alone 'til you turn up in my dreams and say hello and make me wish I'd never let you go, never let you go I promise that I will have forgotten you by tomorrow I'll try with all of my might, I've got no time left to borrow Don't lie to me oh can't you see I knew that it would end this way The grass is only greener where the clouds decide to rain but it's missing the grass and going down the drain Missing the grass and going down the drain Another Day
The day draws away for another night and the moon shows it's face She sat alone by candlelight wondering how she got there in the first place. Too early to sleep, too late to think One last drink might keep the ghosts away for another day another day, another day Books open wide on the pages she likes pretending that they never had a cover thinking I'm not the same, I am more than my name and you can't judge me by my father or my mother. Nothing to do, nothing to say just trying to keep the ghosts away for another day, another day Look a little closer around you as the light illuminates all the dust What if someone were to tell you that you had to trust In the lies they fed us? Every day, every day But it’s too early to sleep, and too late to think one last drink might keep the ghosts away for another day Look a little closer around you as the light illuminates all the dust What if someone were to tell you that you had to trust? The Downfall
Raindrops fall down the window pane conducted by the winds of fate to win the race Fill up the sea with only the best Even the water must be perfect Although it's flaws we cannot taste Lay down your weapons don't you know that they can't help you win this fight at least not tonight Look at this world that we are in try to forget how cruel it's been stop seeing things so black and white The perfection is poison The peace leads to violence You're lost in the noise when you just wanted silence, but silence speaks louder than words ever can And that is the downfall of man Give me a reason to believe in all the wisdom that you speak talk is cheap When everybody's thoughts are known it's hard to recognise your own and your opinions become weak The contradictions are ignored Perfection in itself is flawed Where there is peace there must be war and even my silence can roar The perfection is poison The peace leads to violence You're lost in the noise when you just wanted silence, but silence speaks louder than words ever can And that is the downfall of man Away with the Fairies
I can't tell you what tomorrow brings without a guaranteed shadow of doubt I'm always getting myself into things and I can't always get out but I got lost in your eyes Cross your heart love and promise me that the day you leave me out on my own you won't let all of our memories become forgotten pictures on your phone While life just passes you by I'm frozen in the cold Drifting away with the snow oh why'd you have to go away with the fairies that captured your soul? Echos of all of the words you said still linger in my mind You told me "don't take it personally but the seasons change and so must I" The sun shone bright in the sky and I got lost in your eyes Emotions you cannot control I know you had to go away with the fairies that captured your soul Cards on the table Life on the line How can I miss you when you were never really mine anyway and I tried my best to bring you back to Earth The magic possessed you but for what it's worth I'll keep on trying to bring you back to reality, out of this fantasy I can't tell you what tomorrow brings and I can't read your mind The voices singing in your head are fairy words not mine Your smile lights up the whole sky And I get lost in your eyes Saviour
Lost in my mind, just like a ghost I often find my thoughts have run away but I don’t mind losing the ones that hurt the most I’ve decided that I cannot let them stay I lock them up so they stop whizzing round my head, along with all the dreams I’d rather not remember but there is nowhere for me to throw the key, and there are memories refusing to surrender. Saying "happiness is fake, but in sadness you can trust" Well then make me out of plasticine, It’s more robust I’m never gonna break but I can’t be saved from this heart ache I can't be saved from this heartache Little cracks from where the hidden have escaped Always feeling tired because every day’s the same Then you realise that nothing’s gonna change if you lie in bed and dream your life away But in dreams I am content, In a world where nothing’s true but you wont stop running round my head and I wonder if I’m running round your’s too Running up and down the mountain tops for you All of our chances were ruined by doubt and unfortunate coincidence Negative charges in our hearts, they pulled us apart but you were my saviour, I wish you happiness my friend and if it’s really what you want I won’t speak your name again, but only your thoughts can decide, you’ve got nowhere to hide The flowers grow but you’ll never know how you left my world so cold You were my saviour but our happiness was fake and I don’t know what else to trust You were my saviour and now I keep myself awake with the memories of us And I still remember how you made everything seem right when I knew that it was wrong You left me in embers but I made it through the flames and came out twice as strong You were my saviour though I wish I could forget You were my saviour and I wish you happiness |
Gone in a Second
Stargazing in the night sky Slow motion as the stars fly, wondering why I wasted so much time defining what was wrong and what was right inside my mind at the time I didn't ever let myself have fun I was too worried 'bout the outcome Out of control, my soul was old in it's ways and nothing had changed for days and days and days But, I feel more alive with my every breath Although it scares me half to death Hold on, cause soon it could all be gone Count your blessings on one hand Hold me with the other so I know you're around and Hold on You know I haven't been sleeping Every thought I have is keeping me awake I know I should wait patiently but how long's it gonna take? Take me way back to when everything made sense Or fast forward to the days when nothing is wrong So we can look back on these times and say they made us strong Cause I feel more alive with my every breath Although it scares me half to death Hold on, cause soon it could all be gone Count your blessings on one hand Hold me with the other so I know you're around and Hold on… Cause it could all be gone in a second Stargazing in the night sky Everything could change within the blink of an eye But promise me that you won't let the memories die Cause I feel more alive with my every breath Although it scares me half to death Hold on, cause soon it could all be gone Count your blessings on one hand Hold me with the other so I know you're around and Hold on… Cause I feel more alive with my every breath Although it scares me half to death Hold on, cause soon it could all be gone Count your blessings on one hand Hold me with the other so I know you're around and Hold on… Cause it could all be gone in a second Tempting Fate
The stars and your heart won't always align Everybody's got a mountain that they have to climb but I made a promise to myself a long long time ago that I would still believe in magic every year I grow Blood is thicker than the water swirling down the sink but nothing kicks the same as all the caffeine that we drink and through the coffee's bitter taste and the energy we waste I wonder if I'll ever live the life that I have chased If I keep walking down the road I've been on for so long never changing direction, well I guess there's something wrong so I'm tempting my fate and letting magic push me on You see a signpost with two arrows pointing left and right you have to chose which way to move or you'll just stand there all night and one way might be fast, while the other may be slow It doesn't matter which you pick so long as you go If I keep walking down the road I've been on for so long never changing direction, well I guess there's something wrong so I'm tempting my fate and letting magic push me on I am tempting my fate and letting magic push me on Every time a baby bird discovers it can fly Every time a child starts to ask the reasons why Every leaf falls down in the cold November sky Memories that I'll remember till the day I die And each time we say hello, I forget our last goodbye cause I can always see the magic shining in your eyes If I keep walking down the road I've been on for so long never changing direction, well I guess there's something wrong so I'm tempting my fate and letting magic push me on Letting magic push me on Let the magic push me on Shine Again
Pick myself up, wait until my eyes adjust I got a suitcase full of photographs from when we were on the same path The moon still glows and it's the only way I know that even when I'm left and you are right we're still walking by the same light Don't tell me you can't stay this time you can't always run away like this You can't always be afraid Don't hold back, let it out They won't hear unless we shout We're puzzle pieces you and I, and I need you by my side Don't worry about anything Everything is going to wash away like rain and it will shine again Shine again Will you regret putting me trough this loneliness? Well I was quite upset but it gave me a chance to prove to myself that I could stand without you there to hold my hand but the more I think, the more I find you never left my mind and I'm gonna fight until the end cause I miss calling you my friend I need you here my friend Don't hold back, let it out They won't hear unless we shout We're puzzle pieces you and I, and I need you by my side Don't worry about anything Everything is going to wash away like rain and it will shine again Shine again And everything could soon be gone but there's a right to every wrong and all that we can do is keep moving on without a guide, side by side Don't hold back, let it out They won't hear unless we shout We're puzzle pieces you and I, and I need you by my side Don't worry about anything Everything is going to wash away like rain and it will shine again Shine again Outside of the Lines
When I was a little girl I never understood why things would never go the way I thought they should and now after all I’ve seen, the world still makes no sense to me at all but I wont fall Cause I have a tendency to slip up, slip up falling down, down, down to the ground But I am never gonna give up, give up when I’m out of luck and my head spins round I am the painter of my own life, and I’m not afraid to colour outside of the lines Every year that passes by feels shorter than the last Time seems to move too slow then suddenly to fast but deadlines should never be a number one priority I’ll wait as long as it takes Cause I have a tendency to slip up, slip up falling down, down, down to the ground But I am never gonna give up, give up when I’m out of luck and my head spins round I am the painter of my own life, and I’m not afraid to colour outside of the lines Memories and melodies seem to go hand in hand and music is the only thing I’ll ever understand and as I grow older still I don’t think that anything will change and that’s ok Cause I have a tendency to slip up, slip up falling down, down, down to the ground But I am never gonna give up, give up when I’m out of luck and my head spins round I am the painter of my own life, and I’m not afraid to colour outside of the lines No I'm not afraid to colour outside of the lines Hiding in the Dark
Clouds rush over the rooftops as if they’ve somewhere better to be. You rushed out of my world, guess you found somebody better than me Threw me away like a pebble to the sea skimming the surface and trying to breathe Washed away with the water, I dragged myself back to the shore well I’ve been there too many times now, I couldn’t bare it anymore You left them behind so you could be free but now no-one’s around and you’re trying to breathe Trying so desperately You try, and you try, and you try Cause every night the sky’s alive with sparks and you’ll never see the light if you’re hiding in the dark I think that too much stardust has made it’s way into his dreams Turning stormy waters from violent tides to calming streams oh can I have some stardust too? Sleeping seems so easy for you He asked for me to tell him the things I think of while I sleep Well I haven’t dreamed for a while now, my thoughts are strong and my mind’s so weak But heavy thoughts will come and go It’s just a little tiring you know You know, and you know, and you know That every night the sky’s alive with sparks and you’ll never see the light if you’re hiding in the dark You try, and you try, and you try to see the light You try, and you try, and you try Cause every night the sky’s alive with sparks and you’ll never see the light if you’re hiding in the dark Oh every night the sky’s alive with sparks and you’ll never see the light if you’re hiding in the dark |
