Bridges Set to Burn
03:11

|

Every step I take, every move I make, every time I say your name
Every breath comes in and goes out again, every heartbeat quickening
All my dreams led to you
All my dreams led to you
Every broken piece of the shell that's me tried to find it's place for you
Every tiny shard of my neglected heart tried to mend itself, it's true
All my dreams led to you
All my dreams led to you
I've spent my whole damn life in the dark of night, would you share your light with me?
Cos I can barely breath, let alone break free, from the darkness taking over
Taking over me
Taking over me
All my dreams led to you
All my dreams led to you
What am I supposed to do
With no one left to carry me through?
How am I supposed to learn
With all my bridges set to burn?
Every step I take, every move I make, every time I say your name
Every breath comes in and goes out again, every heartbeat quickening.

The Way I Fell For You
04:45
|
|
||
I hoped you'd be waiting when I came home
I walked to my bedroom, but I was alone
So I left the door open in case you stopped by as a surprise
But the sun's nearly setting - I won't see you tonight.
[prechorus]
But you should know that I am waiting for you
Whenever you're ready, I will go steady,
I will be flawless and perfect for you
Whatever I do
[chorus]
Because you're all I have
You're all I need
Whenever you're ready, come find me and you will see
That I've been here waiting for you to fall for me
The way I fell for you
I hoped you'd be staying, I hoped you'd never leave
Cos when you're around me, it gets easier to breathe
Tell me you're staying, tell me you will never leave
Tell me you need me the way I that I need you
[prechorus]
[chorus]

Seafoam
02:44
|
|
||
I find it easy to tell you the truth
I never really loved you
But your seafoam eyes and steady gaze
Were just too much for my mind to erase
And standing up to you was tough
When I finally decided I'd had enough
Of the love you never gave
Of my love you pushed away
If you never wanted me to fall
You should have made it clear or not at all
So take your time to tell me the truth
It's not like I'm relying on you
To be the change
That I need made
Now in the history of me
You're just a part of the tragedy
No regrets
I won't forget
The love inside my heart
Bursting at the seams, tearing me apart
I never wanted you to leave
But you always left so easily
And now, I wonder how
I let myself get so down
What is life without love?
But what is love if not enough?
What is life without love?
But what is love if not enough?

Straight to Hell
04:28
|
|
||
The night that I left you, it was dark and it was raining
And you were still sleeping inside
My bare feet on pavement felt like freedom, felt like terror
And I tore through the night like a knife
And you can stop calling my phone
I gave up on you long ago
All I could think was how mad you would be when you woke and I was no longer there
All I could do was keep running from you and breathing in the bitter winter air
In the back of my mind I saw the look in your eyes
And I told myself not to be afraid
Cos I've been waiting for this day for so many years
And now it's finally here
So I run
I'm free, finally
The girl you once knew who was weaker than you and couldn't stand up for herself
She is no longer here, she broke free from her fear, and you can take that with you
Straight to hell.
The day that you found me, half-awake and barely breathing, staring down the barrel of a gun
I'd made up my mind, this was the last time; after this day, I was done
And you can stop saying my name
In your mouth, it doesn't sound the same
I feel sorry for you
You poor, wretched soul
I don't know when, but you lost control
And now you beg me, "Please do not leave."
But love, I've been gone
You just couldn't see
That I've been waiting for this day for so many years
And now it's finally here
So I run
I'm free, finally
Every second I waste is a step toward my grave and I won't go down by myself
So I'm running from you and the girl you once knew and you can take your shit with you
Straight to hell.

Through the Night
03:24
|
|
||
I've been wandering this world for so long alone
Waiting for someone to call me home
And if I hear your voice across a field
I'll tell myself it's just a dream
So stand out on the porch and wave your hand
Call to me so I can understand
That someone cares where I go to sleep at night
Someone's watching over me so I can close my eyes
I need you
I need you
Like a sailor needs the wind to blow
I'm a prisoner and I need hope
To get me through the night
Get me through the night
All this time I've been confusing
Strangers with loves with in-betweens
All these laughable loves that come and go
I just want to be good enough for someone to love me
I need you
I need you
Like a child needs her mother's hand
I'm a soldier in a foreign land and
I need you
I need you
To get me through the night
Get me through the night

Halfway Gone
03:20
|
|
||
I can't keep coming home to this bed we used to share
Cos all I can think is how you used to sleep right there
And I could hold you while you slept and you would kiss me in the morning
I was so in love with you, I couldn't see the warning signs
[chorus]
That I was still a wreck
Halfway gone to total mess
Unnaturally disastrous
I couldn't see I was bad for us
And I was still in pain
Halfway gone and half insane
I was so afraid of losing you
I pushed and pulled and confused you away
I can't keep going on pretending I'm not even lonely
There's a smile on my face but I wish that you could only see
The darkness that just starts slowly tearing me apart
The emptiness I tried to fill with pieces of your heart
[chorus]
I know I made mistakes and you can't look at me the same
Believe me when I say I'm so ashamed
It's unfair for me to try but I still pray you change your mind
I need you more than anything I've needed all my life
But I am still a wreck
Halfway gone to total mess
Unnaturally disastrous
I'm frightened I am poisonous
I never meant to cause you pain
I only wanted you to stay
I still believe that you're the one
To bring me back from halfway gone away
Halfway gone
Bring me home
Be my home.

Dream of You
05:21
|
|
||
When we first met, we were both out of our skin
And we had no idea the trouble we'd get in
We acted out of impulse cos that's all that we've learned
The ones who came before showed us how love hurts
And we learned that the passion you feel is a piano
Dangling from a rooftop right above your head
And soon, one day, your lover comes to cut the wire
So it's easier to never fall in love instead.
But I want to wake up with you by my side
I want to feel your kiss on my eyes when I go to sleep at night
And I want to know, as hard as I love you, that you love me too despite what we've been through
I want to dream
I want to dream of you
And it's all that I do.
I faced my fears and the darkness of my past
To show you that I'm here to stay and I think we could last
But I can see you're running, you're scared to face your heart
In case it shows you something that tears your world apart
Now, I'm not one for patience, I was born to soldier on
My restlessness will carry me until the day is done
But there's something about your smile that tethers me to you
So I will wait here patiently, until you see me too.
Cos I want to wake up with you by my side
I want to feel your kiss on my eyes when I go to sleep at night
And I want to know, as hard as I love you, that you love me too despite what we've been through
I want to dream
I want to dream of you
And it's all that I do.
