"I think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
"And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world" you said
"And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead"
Then you smiled for a second
"I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain" you said
"And it's all running out like it's the end of the world" you said
"And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead"
Then you smiled for a second
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
"It's just the way I smile" you said

There was truth
There was consequence against you
A weak defense, then there's me
I'm seventeen, looking for a fight
All my life, I was never there
Just a ghost, running scared
Here our dreams aren't made
They're won
Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers, I
Found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
Bought my fate, straight from hell
Second sight has paid off well
For a mother, a brother and me
The silver of a lake at night
The hills of Hollywood on fire
A boulevard of hope and dreams
Streets made of desire
Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers, I
Found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
I am home

Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still
I will not kiss you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Now turn away
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say
Goodbye today
I'd ask you to be true
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

It took time, took time to develop a concept
A new me, based upon the traits from which I could not flee
It took time, took time to embrace the nature of my dreams
All this time just turned into a sad long wait
This sad long tale of moments passé
must come to an end before it is too late
Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love
but I never knew it was so hard
It took time, took time to accept the fact that one must lose
everything except what you do not choose
It's taken time, long time and yet more time it will take
before my heart is free and brave enough to break
This sad long tale of moments passé
must come to an end before it is too late
Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love
but I never knew it was so hard
This sad bouquet of forget-me-nots
that I threw away is growing scars and spots
on this weary heart where there's a bird, so shy
but one of these days that bird will learn to fly

We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Your ways, my ways
Never, always
My future, my past
My first, my last
Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand any more
Why can't you understand?
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria...
Right time, wrong line
Myself, I'm alien
I swear to god, lies and bad thoughts
1, 2, 3, 4, let go
Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand any more
Why can't you understand?
Euphoria, take my hand
Euphoria...

Sunday (Hurts)

There are times when we question the things we know
We never thought that the cracks would begin to show
We both know love is not that easy
I wish I'd known that it would be this hard to be alone
Please, come home
The loverless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday
Is this the end of a love that has just began?
I always hoped that the best, it was yet to come
So please, come back, don't you leave me
We're both so young, I know you need me too
And there'll always be times like these
The loverless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday
And maybe we'll see that we were wrong
If ever we look back one day
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday
Lonely, lonely
If you don't come back tomorrow
I'll be left here in the cold
If you don't come back tomorrow, I'll go
The loverless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday
And maybe we'll see that we were wrong
If ever we look back one day
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday
Lonely (lonely Sunday)
Lonely (lonely Sunday)
Lonely Sunday

You (Glasvegas)

A door I've yet to open
A secret I need knowing
A rock I cherish instead of throwing
My river to this sea still flowing
You
My glow in the dark sea horse never not glowing
Through my sails this breeze is blowing
My child, my flame forever growing
My scars from the past I admit I'm postponing for you
You
A life long debt I don't mind owing
It was to you Bowie sang 'he rose in'
Never my loneliness can truly be alone
When future visions of true love is everyday showing
You

It is about time to face it
Surrender and then start again
I don't know if I could make it
But there has got to come an end
If I stay in this place every hour is another day
Let the walls come falling down and the fear washes away
Running forever
Longing for your love so cool
For something better
I'll never stop following you
So may the road rise up to meet me
May the wind be at my back
All of this will soon be over
I don't think I'll be coming back
Though I fear what is to come I must soldier on and try to see
At the end of the road someone holds out for me
Running forever
Longing for your love so cool
For something better
I'll never stop following you
I was longing for your love
Longing for your love so cool
Running forever
Longing for your love so cool
For something better
I'll never stop following you
Let's run forever
Looking for your love so cool
To somewhere better
I'll never stop following you
I was longing for your love
Longing for your love so cool

Stay (Hurts)

My whole life waiting for the right time
To tell you how I feel
And though I tried to tell you that I need you
Here I am without you
I feel so lost but what can I do?
'Cause I know this love seems real
But I don't know how to feel
We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away
Stay, stay
'Cause all my life I've felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay
Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?
We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away
Stay, stay
'Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay
So change your mind
And say you're mine
Don't leave tonight
Stay.
Say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away
Stay, stay
'Cause all my life I've felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay
Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me.

I won't regret saying this
This thing that I'm saying
Is it better than keeping my mouth shut
That goes without saying
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
I won't be out long
But I still think it better if
You take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
