Burning
I've been burning
yes I've been burning
Such a burden
this flame on my chest
No insurance
to pay for the damage
Yeah
I've been burning up
Since
you left

I've been smoking oh
more than twenty a day
Blame it on rebellion
don't blame it on me
Wish
I was younger
Back to the nineteenth
of May
I had an open mind
swore to never change
Funny how time goes by
had respect for myself
That river ran dry
you reached a limit
I wasn't enough
it's like the fire
Replaced
all the love
I've been burning
yes I've been burning
Such a burden
this flame on my chest
No insurance
to pay for the damage
Yeah
I've been burning up
Since
you left
Oh if you ever
called
I would run straight
back
Give you
my forgiveness
And the shirt off
my back
No friends to turn to
yeah I messed up that
Wish we could smoke
again
Just
for a day oh
Funny how time goes by
had respect for myself
That river ran dry
you reached a limit
I wasn't enough
and it's like the fire
Replaced
all the love
I've been burning
yes I've been burning
Such a burden
this flame on my chest
No insurance
to pay for the damage
Yeah
I've been burning up
Since
you left
Yeah
I've been burning up
Since
you left
Yeah
I've been burning up
Since
you left

Drowning Shadows

Running around
chasing hearts
Chasing bodies
to fix the parts
I don't know how
I reached this place
So far from heaven
so far from grace
Am I wrong to give in
to the pressure
'Cause I feel
like the city's
Got the better
of me
Oh this casual love
isn't what it seems
And I try to imagine
something closer
And somebody
who is good for me
I'm so tired
of all this searching
Do I do I
do I do I
Go home to nothing
or stay out for more
Give in to someone
or lock down my door
Or drown
all my shadows
Drown them
like before
I'm drowning shadows
once more
The more I drink
the more I drown
If I'm not thinking
I won't get down
The more
I rise above it all
The less
I care about the fall
Am I wrong to give in
to the pressure
'Cause I feel
like the city's
Got the better
of me
Oh this casual love
isn't what it seems
And I try to imagine
something closer
And somebody
who is good for me
I'm so tired
of all this searching
Do I do I
do I do I
Go home to nothing
or stay out for more
Give in to someone
or lock down my door
Or drown
all my shadows
Drown them
like before
I'm drowning shadows
once more
Once more
once more woo
Go home to nothing
stay out for more
Give in to someone
or lock down my door
Or drown
all my shadows
Drown them
like before
I'm drowning shadows
once more

Fire On Fire ("Water..

My mother said
I'm too romantic
She said you're
dancing in the movies
I almost started
to believe her
Then I saw
you and I knew
Maybe it's
'cause I got
A little bit
older
Maybe it's all
that I've been through
I'd like
to think
It's how you lean
on my shoulder
And how I see myself
with you
I don't
say a word
But still you take
my breath
And steal
the things
I know
there you go
Saving me
from out of the cold
Fire on fire
would normally kill us
But this much desire
together we're winners
They say that
we're out of control
And some say
we're sinners
But don't
let them ruin
Our beautiful
rhythms
'Cause
when you unfold me
And tell me
you love me
And
look in my eye
You are perfection
my only direction
It's fire on fire
it's fire on fire
When we fight
we fight like lions
But then we love
and feel the truth
We lose our minds
in a city of roses
We won't abide
by any rules
I don't
say a word
But still you take
my breath
And steal
the things
I know
there you go
Saving me
from out of the cold
Fire on fire
would normally kill us
But this much desire
together we're winners
They say that
we're out of control
And some say
we're sinners
But don't
let them ruin
Our beautiful
rhythms
'Cause
when you unfold me
And tell me
you love me
And
look in my eye
You are perfection
my only direction
It's fire on fire
it's fire on fire
Fire on fire
would normally kill us
But this much desire
together we're winners
They say that
we're out of control
And some say
we're sinners
But don't
let them ruin
Our beautiful
rhythms
Fire on fire
would normally kill us
But this much desire
together we're winners
They say that
we're out of control
And some say
we're sinners
But don't
let them ruin
Our beautiful
rhythms
'Cause
when you unfold me
And tell me
you love me
And
look in my eye
You are perfection
my only direction
It's fire
on fire
You are perfection
my only direction
It's fire
on fire

How Do You Sleep?
I'm done hating myself
for feeling
I'm done crying myself
awake
I gotta leave
and start the healing
But when you move
like that
I just wanna
stay
What have
I become
Looking through
your phone oh now
Love to you is
just a game
Look
what I have done
Dialing up
the numbers on you
I don't want my heart
to break baby
How do you sleep
when you lied to me
All that shame
and all that danger
I'm hoping
that my love
Will keep you up
tonight
Baby how do you sleep
when you lied to me
All that fear
and all that pressure
I'm hoping
that my love
Will keep you up
tonight
Tell me
how do you
Love will keep you up
tonight
Tell me
how do you
Oh no how did
I manage to lose me
I am not
this desperate
Not this crazy
there's no way
I'm sticking
'round to find out
I won't lose like that
I won't lose myself
Look
what I've done
Dialing up
the numbers on you
I don't want my heart
to break baby
How do you sleep
when you lied to me
All that shame
and all that danger
I'm hoping
that my love
Will keep you up
tonight
Baby how do you sleep
when you lied to me
All that fear
and all that pressure
I'm hoping
that my love
Will keep you up
tonight
Tell me
how do you
Love will keep you up
tonight
Tell me
how do you
Love will keep you up
tonight
Baby how do you sleep
when you lied to me
All that shame
and all that danger
I'm hoping
that my love
Will keep you up
tonight
Baby how do you sleep
when you lied to me
All that fear
and all that pressure
I'm hoping
that my love
Will keep you up
tonight
Tell me
how do you

I'm Not The Only One

You and me
we made a vow
For better
or for worse
I can't believe you
let me down
But the proof's
in the way it hurts
For months on end
I've had my doubts
Denying
every tear
I wish this would be
over now
But I know that
I still need you here
You say I'm crazy
'cause you don't think
I know
what you've done
But when
you call me baby
I know
I'm not the only one
You've been
so unavailable
Now sadly
I know why
Your heart is
unobtainable
Even though Lord knows
you kept mine
You say I'm crazy
'cause you don't think
I know
what you've done
But when
you call me baby
I know
I'm not the only one
I have loved you
for many years
Maybe I am
just not enough
You've made me realize
my deepest fear
By lying
and tearing us up
You say I'm crazy
'cause you don't think
I know
what you've done
But when
you call me baby
I know
I'm not the only one
You say I'm crazy
'cause you don't think
I know
what you've done
But when
you call me baby
I know
I'm not the only one
I know
I'm not the only one
I know
I'm not the only one
And I know and I know
and I know and I know
And I know
and I know know
I know
I'm not the only one

I've Told You Now

You know
what I mean
It's like walking
in the heat
All day
with no water
It's like waiting
for a friend
Watching
everybody else meet
Theirs
on that corner
Or losing
in an argument
Though you're
right
Can't get
your thoughts in order
Still
I refrain
From talking at you
talking on
You know me well
I don't explain
But what the hell
why do you think
I come 'round here
on my free will
Wasting
all my precious time
Oh the truth
spills out
And oh oh I've
I've told you now
You know
what I mean
Although I try
my best
I still let down
the team
You're everything
I want
Why should
I resist
When you are
there for me
Should
I refrain
From talking at you
talking on
You know me well
I don't explain
But what the hell
why do you think
I come 'round here
on my free will
Wasting
all my precious time
Oh the truth
spills out
And oh oh I've
I've told you now
I've told you
now
And I've told you now
and I've told you now
Still
I refrain
From talking at you
talking on
You know me well
I don't explain
So what the hell
why do you think
I come 'round here
on my free will
Wasting
all my precious time
What the hell
why do you think
I come 'round here
on my own will
Wasting
all my precious time
Oh the truth
spills out
And oh oh I've
I've told you now

Lay Me Down
Yes I do I believe
that one day
I will be
where I was
Right there
right next to you
And it's hard the days
just seems so dark
The moon
and the stars
Are nothing
without you
Your touch your skin
where do I begin
No words can
explain
The way
I'm missing you
The night
this emptiness
This hole
that I'm inside
These tears they tell
their own story
Told me not to cry
when you were gone
But the feeling's
overwhelming
It's much
too strong
Can I lay by your side
next to you you
And make sure
you're alright
I'll take care
of you
And I don't want
to be here
If I can't be with you
tonight
I'm reaching out
to you
Can you hear
my call
This hurt
that I've been through
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
Like crazy
you
Can I lay by your side
next to you to you
And make sure
you're alright
I'll take care
of you
And I don't want
to be here
If I can't be with you
tonight
Oh lay me down tonight
lay me by your side
Oh lay me down tonight
lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side
next to you you

Leave Your Lover
I don't have
much to give
But I don't care
for gold
What use is
money
When you need
someone to hold
Don't have
direction
I'm just rolling down
this road
Waiting for you
to bring me
In from
out the cold
You'll never know
the endless nights
The rhyming
of the rain
Or how it feels
to fall behind
And watch you
call his name
Pack up
and leave everything
Don't you see
what I can bring
Can't keep this
beating heart at bay
Set my midnight
sorrow free
I will give you
all of me
Just leave your lover
leave him for me
Leave your lover
leave him for me

We sit in bars
and raise
Our drinks
to growing old
Oh I'm in love
with you
And
you will never know
But
if I can't have you
I want this life
alone
Spare you
the rising storms
And let the rivers
flow
You'll never know
the endless nights
The rhyming
of the rain
Or how it feels
to fall behind
And watch you
call his name
Pack up
and leave everything
Don't you see
what I can bring
Can't keep this
beating heart at bay
Set my midnight
sorrow free
I will give you
all of me
Just leave your lover
leave him for me
Leave your lover
leave him for me
Leave your lover
leave him for me

Like I Can
He could be a sinner
or a gentleman
He could be
your preacher
When your soul is
down
He could be
your lawyer
On a witness stand
but
He'll never love you
like I can can
He could be
a stranger
You gave
a second glance
He could be a trophy
of a one night stand
He could have
your humour
But I don't
understand 'cause
He'll never love you
like I can can can
Why are you
looking down
All the wrong roads
when mine is the heart
And the soul
of the song
There may be
lovers
Who hold out
their hands but
They'll never love you
like I can can can
They'll never love you
like I can can
A chance encounter
of circumstance
Baby
he's a mantra
Keeps your mind
entranced
He could be
the silence
In this mayhem
but then again
He'll never love you
like I can can can
Why are you
looking down
All the wrong roads
when mine is the heart
And the soul
of the song
There may be
lovers
Who hold out
their hands but
They'll never love you
like I can can can
They'll never love you
like I can can can
They'll never love you
like I can can can
We both have demons
that we can't stand
I love your demons
like devils can
If you're self-seeking
an honest man
Then stop deceiving
Lord please
Why are you
looking down
All the wrong roads
when mine is the heart
And the soul
of the song
There may be
lovers
Who hold out
their hands but
They'll never love you
like I can can can
They'll never love you
like I can can can
They'll never love you
like I can can can

Midnight Train

I choose me
and I know
That's selfish love
you are a dream
And I can't thank you
enough
But I give another
piece of me away
Every waking day
that I'm with you
Am I a monster
what will your family
Think of me
they brought me in
They helped me out
with everything
But I give a little
piece of me away
Every
single day
So I pick up
the pieces
I get
on the midnight train
I got
my reasons
But darling
I can't explain
I'll always
love you
But tonight's
the night
I choose
to walk away

Love you
so much
That I have
to let you go
I'll miss
your touch
And the secrets
we both know
But it would be wrong
for me to stay
And I'll just
give you hope
So I pick up
the pieces
I get
on the midnight train
I got
my reasons
But darling
I can't explain
I'll always
love you
But tonight's
the night
I choose
to walk away
I can't stop
crying
I hate that
I've caused you pain
But I can't
deny it
I just
don't feel the same
I'll always
love you
But tonight's
the night
I choose
to walk away

So I pick up
the pieces
Get
on the midnight train
I got
my reasons
But darling
I can't explain
I'll always
love you
But tonight's
the night
I choose
to walk away

Money On My Mind

When I signed my deal
I felt pressure
Don't wanna
see the numbers
I wanna
see heaven
You say
could you write
A song for me
I say I'm sorry
I won't do that
happily
When I go
home
I tend
to close the door
I never wanted
more
So sing with me
can't you see
I don't
have
Money on my mind
money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I don't
have
Money on my mind
money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
Please
don't get me wrong
I wanna
keep it moving
I know
what that requires
I'm not
foolish
Please can you
make this work for me
'Cause I'm not
a puppet
I will work
against your strings
When I go
home
I tend
to close the door
I never wanted
more
So sing with me
can't you see
I don't
have
Money on my mind
money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I don't
have
Money on my mind
money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
When the sun will set
don't you fret
No I have no money
on my mind
No money on my mind
no money on my mind
No I have no money
on my mind
When the sun will set
don't you fret
No I have no money
on my mind
No money on my mind
no money on my mind
No I have no money
on my mind
Just
love

Money on my mind
money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I don't
have
Money on my mind
money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
I do it for the love

Palace
My head is filled
with ruins
Most of them are built
with you
Now the dust
no longer moves
Don't disturb
the ghost of you mmm
They are empty
they are worn
Tell me
what we built this for
On my way
to something more
You're that one
I can't ignore mmm
I'm gonna miss you
I'm still there
Sometimes
I wish
We never built
this palace
But real love is never
a waste of time mmm
Yeah I know just
what you're saying
And I regret
ever complaining
About this heart
and all it's breaking
It was beauty
we were making mmm
And I know
we'll both move on
You'll forgive
what I did wrong
They will love
the better you
But I still own
the ghost of you mmm
I'm gonna miss you
I'm still there
Sometimes
I wish
We never built
this palace
But real love is never
a waste of time

I'm gonna miss you
I'm still there
Sometimes
I wish
We never built
this palace
But real love is never
a waste of time
But real love is never
a waste of time

Pray
I'm young
and I'm foolish
I've made
bad decisions
I block out
the news
Turn my back
on religion
Don't have no degree
I'm somewhat naive
I've made it this far
on my own
But lately
that xhit ain't been
Getting me higher
I lift up my head
And the world is
on fire
There's dread
in my heart
And fear
in my bones
I just don't know
what to say
Maybe I'll pray pray
maybe I'll pray
I have never believed
in you
No but
I'm gonna pray
You won't find me
in church(no)
Reading
the bible(no)
I am still
here
And I'm still
your disciple
I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
I'm broken alone
and afraid
I'm not a saint
I'm more of a sinner
I don't wanna
lose
But I fear
for the winners
When I try to explain
the words run away
That's why I am stood
here today
And I'm gonna pray
pray
Maybe I'll pray pray
for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I'll pray pray
maybe I'll pray
I've never believed
in you
No but
I'm gonna
Won't you
call me
Can we have
a one-on-one please
Let's talk
about freedom
Everyone prays
in the end
Everyone prays
in the end
Won't you
call me
Can we have
a one-on-one please
Let's talk
about freedom
Everyone prays
in the end
Everyone prays
in the end
Oh and I'm gonna pray
I'm gonna pray
I'm gonna pray pray
for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I'll pray pray
maybe I'll pray
I've never believed
in you
No
but I'm gonna pray

Stay With Me
Guess
it's true
I'm not good
at a one-night stand
But I still need love
'cause I'm just a man
These nights
never seem
To go
to plan
I don't want you
to leave
Will you hold
my hand
Oh won't you
stay with me
'Cause you're
all I need
This ain't love
it's clear to see
But darling
stay with me
Why am I
so emotional
No it's not
a good look
Gain
some self-control
And deep down I know
this never works
But you can lay
with me
So it doesn't
hurt
Oh won't you
stay with me
'Cause you're
all I need
This ain't love
it's clear to see
But darling
stay with me

Oh won't you
stay with me
'Cause you're
all I need
This ain't love
it's clear to see
But darling
stay with me
Oh won't you
stay with me
'Cause you're
all I need
This ain't love
it's clear to see
But darling
stay with me

To Die For

(It is as everyone
dies alone
Does
that scare you
I don't wanna
be alone)
I look for you
every day every night
I close
my eyes
From the fear
from the light
As I wander down
the avenue so confused
Guess I'll try
and force a smile
Pink lemonade sipping
on a Sunday
Couples holding hands
on a runway
They're all posing
in a picture frame
Whilst my world's
crashing down
Solo shadow
on a sidewalk
Just want somebody
to die for
Sunshine living
on a perfect day
While my world's
crashing down
I just want somebody
to die for
I long for you
just a touch
(Does that scare you)
of your hand
You don't leave
my mind
Lonely days
I'm feeling
Like a fool
for dreaming
As I wander down
the avenue so confused
Guess I'll try
and force a smile
Pink lemonade sipping
on a Sunday
Couples holding hands
on a runway
They're all posing
in a picture frame
Whilst my world's
crashing down
Solo shadow
on a sidewalk
Just want somebody
to die for
Sunshine living
on a perfect day
While my world's
crashing down
I just want somebody
to die for
I just want somebody
to die for
I just want somebody
to die for
(Does
that scare you
I don't wanna
be alone)
Pink lemonade sipping

Too Good At Goodbyes
You must think
that I'm stupid
You must think
that I'm a fool
You must think
that I'm new to this
But I have seen this
all before
I'm never gonna
let you close to me
Even though you mean
the most to me
'Cause every time
I open up it hurts
So I'm never gonna
get too close to you
Even when I mean
the most to you
In case you go and
leave me in the dirt
But every time
you hurt me
The less
that I cry
And every time
you leave me
The quicker
these tears dry
And every time
you walk out
The less
I love you
Baby we don't stand
a chance
It's sad
but it's true
I'm way too good
at goodbyes
(I'm way too good
at goodbyes)
I'm way too good
at goodbyes
(I'm way too good
at goodbyes)
I know you're thinking
I'm heartless
I know you're thinking
I'm cold
I'm just protecting
my innocence
I'm just protecting
my soul
I'm never gonna
let you close to me
Even though you mean
the most to me
'Cause every time
I open up it hurts
So I'm never gonna
get too close to you
Even when I mean
the most to you
In case you go and
leave me in the dirt
But every time
you hurt me
The less
that I cry
And every time
you leave me
The quicker
these tears dry
And every time
you walk out
The less
I love you
Baby we don't stand
a chance
It's sad
but it's true
I'm way too good
at goodbyes
(I'm way too good
at goodbyes)
I'm way too good
at goodbyes
(I'm way too good
at goodbyes)
No way that
you'll see me cry
(No way that
you'll see me cry)
I'm way too good
at goodbyes
(I'm way too good
at goodbyes) no
(I'm way too good
at goodbyes
I'm way too good
at goodbyes
No way that
you'll see me cry
I'm way too good
at goodbyes)
'Cause every time
you hurt me
The less
that I cry
And every time
you leave me
The quicker
these tears dry
And every time
you walk out
The less
I love you
Baby we don't stand
a chance
It's sad
but it's true
I'm way too good
at goodbyes

Writing's On The Wal..

I've been here
before
But always
hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime
running
And I always
get away
But with you
I'm feeling something
That makes me
want to stay
I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like
a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it
through the day
Then there's no more
use in running
This is something
I gotta face
If
I risk it all
Could you
break my fall
How do I live
how do I breathe
When you're not here
I'm suffocating
I want to feel love
run through my blood
Tell me is this
where I give it all up
For you
I have to risk it all
'Cause the
writing's on the wall
A million
shards of glass
That haunt me
from my past
As the stars
begin to gather
And the light
begins to fade
When all hope
begins to shatter
Know that
I won't be afraid
If
I risk it all
Could you
break my fall
How do I live
how do I breathe
When you're not here
I'm suffocating
I want to feel love
run through my blood
Tell me is this
where I give it all up
For you
I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's
on the wall
The writing's
on the wall

How do I live
how do I breathe
When you're not here
I'm suffocating
I want to feel love
run through my blood
Tell me is this
where I give it all up
How do I live
how do I breathe
When you're not here
I'm suffocating
I want to feel love
run through my blood
Tell me is this
where I give it all up
For you
I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's
on the wall
