The Missing Clue
04:29
|
|||
|
You, you said that honesty was the missing clue
The most beautiful thing and I believed you
Yeah, I believed you
We, we swore we would be just like open books
Not wearing masks, telling the truth
So much for the truth
So much for the truth
I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it to you
I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it to you
You, you had high hopes for us and expectations
But you could not live up to your own standards
No, you could not live up
We, we said we’d be fearless, dive right into
This thing we had, something good, something true
Turned into something blue
Turned into something blue
I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it to you
I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it, I gave it to you
You couldn’t see you had all you wanted
You couldn’t see it, now you’ve lost it all
You’ve lost it all and you’ve hit a brick wall
I won’t be there to break your fall
I gave you my trust I gave you my all
Then you broke my trust and destroyed it all
You couldn’t see you had all you wanted
You couldn’t see it, now you’ve lost it all
I won’t be there to break your fall
You couldn’t see you had all you wanted
You couldn’t see it, now you’ve lost it all
I won’t be there to break your fall

Stranger

I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be your other girl
I wish you didn’t tell, I wish you didn’t tell
I wish you didn’t tell me your name that night
Stranger, stranger, why do I even bother?
Stranger, stranger, don’t come any closer
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I’ve been here before, I’ve been here before
I’ve been here before, I’ve seen it all
I wish you didn’t take, I wish you didn’t take
I wish you didn’t take my hand that night
Stranger, stranger, why do I even bother?
Stranger, stranger, don’t come any closer
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I smell trouble, I smell trouble
I smell trouble, I should have known
I shouldn't have let you catch me off guard
Too sweet, too fast, so cold, so quick
My smiles don’t always lie
My smiles don’t always lie
My smiles don’t always lie
This time my smiles don’t lie
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Stranger, stranger, the sweetest kiss
You’re the stranger I’m going to miss
Stranger, stranger, the sweetest kiss
You’re the stranger I’m going to miss
Because I’m not going to be, I’m not going to be
I’m not going to be your other girl
No, I’m not going to, not going to be
No, I’m not going to be your other, other girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Escape the Reality
03:41
|
|||
|
She’s living the life of a perfect stranger
Changing who she is, she lives like a liar
Way too scared to show what her true colors are
She might win some fights, but she won’t win this war
Convincing herself she’s happy this way
She’s been mixed up for years, but it’s harder these days
The pressure’s rising, she can’t handle much more
The needs she avoided, they can’t be ignored
Not anymore
She can’t breathe
She’s running down the streets, blinded by her tears
She can’t dream
She’s praying for that needle to take away her fears
She’s falling
There’s nothing to hold on to, no one wants to hear
How she bleeds
Trying to escape the life she lives here
She’s trying to forget everything she likes
She’s burning inside, it reflects in her eyes
She’s looking for someone who will find where she hides
A savior able to see through her lies and realize
She’s not smiling, she’s not laughing
Her heart’s barely beating, there’s nothing she believes in
She’s breaking, she’s fading
She’s not brave enough to live the life she dreams of
She’s wondering what it’d be like
To be free
Free from the pressure to be someone she’s not
To be real
Doing what she wants to and not caring about
What they see
Not to care what they think, not to have second doubts
To be happy
For the first time in her life she might know what it feels like

Close Your Eyes
03:29
|
|||
|
The hours are dragging their feet
As I’m walking these streets
Alone
The minutes are burning daylight
As I’m feeling their bite
To the bone
The seconds are trying to cheat
As I feel incomplete
Time’s not my friend and I won’t pretend
Not to be sad, and I won’t go mad
Don’t you worry, I’ll wait by our tree
I’ll stay on track until you come back
With you I feel the highest highs
Getting lost in your eyes
My love
You got your plane ticket home
Now hurry back to me
You see
It doesn’t quite feel like home
When you’re so far from me
Time’s not my friend and I won’t pretend
Not to be sad, and I won’t go mad
Don’t you worry, I’ll wait by our tree
I’ll stay on track until you come back
I’ll wait for you if you’ll wait for me
I’ll wait for you if you’ll wait for me
Ohhh
I’ll wait for you if you’ll wait for me

Like You Did
04:05
|

What am I supposed to say, now that you’ve turned away?
What am I supposed to do here without you?
What am I supposed to say, now that I've lost my way?
What am I supposed to do with what's left of you?
What’s left of you
To my heart, I could never lie
Like you did, like you did, like you did
As you were making me cry
To my heart, I could never lie
Like you did, like you did, like you did
As you were making me cry
As you were making me cry
As you were making me cry
Where am I supposed to go from here? I'll never know
How am I supposed to breathe, if I can't get back on my feet?
Can you tell me where we went wrong?
Can you tell me if I meant nothing at all?
Can you say anything? Anything will do
Anything will do, anything will do
Oh, oh, oh, oh
To my heart, I could never lie
Like you did, like you did, like you did
As you were making me cry
To my heart, I could never lie
Like you did, like you did, like you did
As you were making me cry
As you were making me cry
As you were making me cry
I didn't want to believe you
When you told me we wouldn't make it through
Well, look at us now

Oh, when you left me that day, on the side of the shore, right under our tree
Oh, when I left you that day, on the side of the shore, right under our tree
I swear to you, I would rather have disappeared with the sea breeze
I wish I had the strength to get down on my knees and tell you
You left me / I was sorry / You’re not sorry / I’m so sorry to leave you
The clouds will never cry the same again
Why do I have to feel like parts of your stories are out of my reach?
I’m keeping safe the reasons that are pushing me to act this way
I don’t know who you became, but I’m sure you’re there, somewhere lost in the dark
I burned all hopes inside of me the day my sanity started to decay
You left me / I was sorry / You’re not sorry / I’m so sorry to leave you
The clouds will never cry the same again
And the sun will never shine the same again
You left me / I was sorry / You’re not sorry / I’m so sorry to leave you
Come back to me / I can’t see the light / I still need you / I can’t see the light
The clouds will never cry the same again
And the sun will never shine the same again
‘Cause all we used to be is back to dust
Yeah all we used to be is back to dust

Unspoken
03:05
|

|
We’ve been injured and we’ve been broken
We’ve been damaged with words unspoken
But I let you see the scars on my flesh
And I let you see the holes in my chest
Let me touch your soul
Let me be your all
Hopes were blistered as dreams were shaken
Joys were fractured as smiles were mistaken
We all have reasons to feel the way we do
You don’t have to justify yourself
Yeah, we all have issues, it’s ok to be sad
But you don’t have to face it all alone
Let me touch your soul
Let me be your all
We’ve been injured and we’ve been broken
We’re been damaged with words unspoken
But we will heal and we will not give up
No, we will get up and we will start again
Let me mend the scars on your flesh
Let me fix the holes in your chest
Let me touch your soul
Let me be your all
Let me mend the scars on your flesh
Let me fix the holes in your chest
Let me touch your soul
Let me be your all
Let me touch your soul
Let me be your all

Starless
05:46
|

|
Some are counting the stars, you are collecting scars
No matter where you are, you know pain isn’t far
You’ve always felt neglected, so you’ve built a world for yourself
Up on the highest mountain, a very lonely place
Who will you call when there’s no one left around?
Where will you go when there’s nowhere left to hide?
Who will dry your tears? Who will listen to your words?
No one to obey you, what will you do, what will you do?
My patience, my patience has run dry, so dry
Look around, look around, you’re all alone, we’re gone
You are responsible for your own fall
You are the maker of your own failure
Your world is getting cold from all the lies you’ve told
Your life’s taking a toll as you’re losing control
You could never come clean, confused by broken dreams
Swimming against the stream, now you fall apart at the seams
Who will you call when there’s no one left around?
Where will you go when there’s nowhere left to hide?
Who will dry your tears? Who will listen to your words?
No one to obey you, what will you do, what will you do?
My patience, my patience has run dry, so dry
Look around, look around, you’re all alone, we’re gone
You are responsible for your own fall
You are the maker of your own failure
Heart as black as a starless night
Heart as black as a starless night
Heart as black as a starless night
Heart as black as a starless night

Pulse
03:54
|
|||
|
I feel like I’m flying over this road
Nothing can stop me, I’m invincible
I’m slowly drifting out of control
What if I were destructible?
Hardly open my eyes to see this scene
Confusion, shattered glass and broken bones
The echo of my friends loudly laughing
This bloodbath looks so unreal
I don’t want to be the last heart beating
I don’t know what the f*** I was thinking
I hope you don’t know the pain I’m feeling
Stay with me
I don’t want to be the last heart beating
Please scream to let me know you're breathing
Focus on the sirens you hear coming
Stay with me
I can’t take one more second of this silence
Trapped inside this cage, surrounded by ghosts
I never wanted to be a murderer
I would give up my life if it could save them both
I don’t want to be the last heart beating
I don’t know what the f*** I was thinking
I hope you don’t know the pain I’m feeling
Stay with me
I don’t want to be the last heart beating
Please scream to let me know you’re breathing
Focus on the sirens you hear coming
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

We Need to Be Fixed
04:26
|
|||
|
Troubled minds in the storm won’t find relief, relief
We are lost children with broken brains
For one second somewhere we met, we met
But obviously, obviously, obviously
Destruction had to come along
We need to be fixed
We need something that doesn’t exist
We failed at trying to fly away
A sad attempt, a short journey
We need to be fixed
We need something that doesn’t exist
We need to be fixed
We can only live back to back, to back
Our hearts looking in different directions
Now watch me disappear as you are walking the other way
With tears of rage in your eyes
And the greatest pain in your chest
We need to be fixed
We need something that doesn’t exist
We failed at trying to fly away
A sad attempt, a short journey
We need to be fixed
We need something that doesn’t exist
We need to be fixed
I'll try not to say your name again
But I can’t erase my soul
Don't you dare say my name again
I just want to breathe, breathe, breathe
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
We don't know where we belong
We don't know where we belong
We don't know where we belong
I don’t know where I belong
