Hearts Don't Bend
03:26
|
|||
|
You put me in a suitcase, to follow your lead
Nice and neat, but I could barely breathe
I came for the view but I was in the dark
You held me 'til I nearly fell apart
So I opened up and jumped out before it got too late,
but I gotta say, gotta say
Didn't anybody tell you that's more than I could take
Didn't anybody mention that Hearts don't bend, they break.
Put my heart in a jar, to try to keep it safe
Was trapped inside no way to escape.
Held your ear to the glass and shook me all around
I called your name, you didn't hear the sound
So I smashed through to exit and finally ran away,
I just gotta say, gotta say
Didn't anybody tell you that's more than I could take
Didn't anybody mention that Hearts don't bend, they break.
You squeezed me and tried to fit me in your pocket
If it's love you want, then don't you know you got it
Don't fold me to hold me, I'm not made of paper.
So long I'll be, Seeing u later
Didn't anybody tell you that's more than I could take
Didn't anybody mention that Hearts don't bend, they break. they break.
Didn't anybody tell you that's more than I could take
Didn't anybody mention that Hearts don't bend, they break.
Hearts don't bend, they break.

Not Who You Say
02:33

You fought the bulls in Barcelona, drilled for oil in Oklahoma,
Surfed your way through California. Ain't that cool.
You climbed the mountains 'round the world, dug for gold and swam for pearls,
now all you want is just one girl to give your heart to.
You must think I'm a fool.
Coz I know how you play the game.
Takes more than words to pull my chain.
Don't even try to steal my heart.
I hate to cut you down to size,
the truth is right there in your lies.
Go on and play the part you're
Not Who You Say you are.
So keep on coming onto me. Dropping names but honestly.
You think I'll get what you promised me? Yeah, Alright.
Maybe one day, but not tonight.
Coz I know how you play the game.
Takes more than words to pull my chain.
Don't even try to steal my heart.
I hate to cut you down to size,
the truth is right there in your lies.
Go on and play the part you're
Not Who You Say you are.
You're just a poser. Your act is over.
How's this for closure. Goodbye.
Coz I know how you play the game.
Takes more than words to pull my chain.
Don't even try to steal my heart.
I hate to cut you down to size,
the truth is right there in your lies.
Go on and play the part you're
Not Who You Say you are.
Coz I know how you play the game.
Takes more than words to pull my chain.
Don't even try to steal my heart.
I hate to cut you down to size,
the truth is right there in your lies.
Go on and play the part you're
Not Who You Say you are.
You're not who you say you are.

Lay It All Down
03:08
|
|||
|
She wears your heart upon her crown, forgets that it is fragile
A jewel to add to all the rest, like you're replaceable
You don't know very well, I never introduced myself
It might be forward of me, but I know what you need
Lay it all down, throws your hands up and surrender
Coz I wanna be with you
Lay it all down, wave the white flag and surrender.
Coz I wanna be with you
She thinks that life is a stage , she's putting on a big show
White lies in a grand parade, you watch her from the front row
But coloured lights just leave u blind, I'm sitting here if you'd take the time
To beat my heart like a drum, and say that I'm the one
Lay it all down, throws your hands up and surrender
Coz I wanna be with you
Lay it all down, wave the white flag and surrender.
Coz I wanna be with you
Don't you see that it's me and I'm over the edge this time.
She don't care and I want to be there now I got you in my sight
Lay it all down, throws your hands up and surrender
Coz I wanna be with you
Lay it all down, wave the white flag and surrender.
Coz I wanna be with you
Lay it all down, throws your hands up and surrender
Coz I wanna be with you
Lay it all down, lay yourself back and surrender.
Coz I wanna be with you
Lay it all down, wave the white flag and surrender.

Crash Landing
03:29
|

|
I'm running every red light.
I just drive straight through
No, It wont be a pretty sight.
This much I can tell you
Foot to the pedal is never is fast enough
I'm sure I'll hit the wall, this is how I fall in love
Crash landing,
I don't understand it
This is so not like I planned it
But I'm crash landing
Mark an X there on your floor
That I can see from here
Bless me with signal,
Make it crystal clear
No matter what you're thinking, it wont change how I feel
You probably wont catch me I'm praying that you will
Crash landing,
I don't understand it
This is so not like I planned it
But I'm crash landing
Falling head first, down to the earth from the sky
This a blur, maybe this time I'll fly
Crash landing,
I don't understand it
This is so not like I planned it
But I'm crash landing, Oh
Crash Landing
I don't understand it,
I just drive straight through

(We Started A) Fire
03:26
|
|||
|
Your hands 'round my waist, It's an unknown world
I will take your name, Be your only girl
We're walking on water, But it's heating up inside
Trying to put the flames out, Coz we set something alight
I don't wanna stop before we started
But this is bigger than you and I
Slow it down before it burns out
We started, we started a fire, we started a fire.
Wearing your tshirt, In this waking dream
But I'm thinking right now, You'd look better on me
The Blaze taking over, Heart's like a shooting star
I can't say where it's going, Tonight we are what we are
I don't wanna stop before we started
But this is bigger than you and I
Slow it down before it burns out
We started a fire
I don't wanna wait a single moment
take a breath while the flames subside
slow it down before it burns out
We started, we started a fire
I pray it rains, and the sky will open up, temper the flame
I'm seeing sparks fly when I look into your eyes
I don't wanna stop before we started
But this is bigger than you and I
Slow it down before it burns out
We started a fire
I don't wanna wait a single moment
take a breath while the flames subside
slow it down before it burns out
We started, we started a fire

I Can't Wait
03:06

Last plane boarding I'm sitting by the window
I'd get some sleep but it's so hard you know
At the carousel and suddenly a breakthrough
I know the three words I would say to you
When I open up my mouth to speak it, speak
it is everything I want. Can you see it?
I can't wait to tell you I'm crazy
what can I say, that's how you made me
I can't wait to tell you I love the way
You say my name, I can't wait
Setting sun, your eyes, waitin' for a green light
The touch of your hand gives me butterflies
kiss me for the first time, take me somewhere brand new
The sun comes up I'm lying next to you
World is spinning so fast I cant take it, take
The beating of my heart says we can make it.
I can't wait to tell you I'm crazy
what can I say, that's how you made me
I can't wait to tell you I love the way
You say my name, I can't wait
Who would have known, it was you all along
This time I am sure that I know what I want
I waited so long to say that we belong
I cant wait to tell you I'm crazy
what can I say, that's how you made me
I can't wait to tell you I love the way
you say my name, I can't wait
I can't wait to tell you I'm crazy
what can I say, that's how you made me
I can't wait to tell you I love the way
You say my name, I can't wait
ooh I can't wait

Penelope
03:42
|

Old boots kick up the dust in this lonely town
Trying to shake the past that’s been following me around
When I look into the mirror, no matter how I try
There’s still dirt on my face, from making you cry
Coz I took a ride to Texas with some friends of old
Working hard to strike it lucky, bring back my weight in gold
With enough green in my pocket to the Kansas borderline
On my way home to you, I changed my mind
Penelope, Penelope, you’re everything I’d ever need
So hold me if you can, but I’m like water in your hands
Forgive me Penelope given time I hope you see
I couldn’t break your heart, so I’m not coming back
And Penelope you deserve much better than that
From the Colorado River up to the Northwest trail
I got me to Portland with a dream to set sail
Although you’re on the East coast waiting for my call now
I’d pick up the phone, but I’d be letting you down
I couldn’t find my sea legs, it was much too cold to bear
In Montana, worked the railroad for beer and hotel fare
Said I’d meet you at the station on the 25th of May
And I’m sure you were there, but I didn’t board the train
Penelope, Penelope, you’re everything I’d ever need
So hold me if you can, but I’m like water in your hands
Forgive me Penelope given time I hope you see
I couldn’t break your heart, so I’m not coming back
And Penelope you deserve much better than that
Penelope, I still love you my friend
But I don’t know what I will say if I see you again
Penelope, I just need some time
One day I’ll come back to you, I hope you’re doing just fine
Penelope, Penelope, you’re everything I’d ever need
So hold me if you can, but I’m like water in your hands
Forgive me Penelope given time I hope you see
I couldn’t break your heart, so I’m not coming back
And Penelope you deserve much better than that

Save You The Trouble
03:18

Do you ever question yourself?
When it comes to you I need some help
I know that you've been hoping for rain
but this storm won't leave you the same
I'm breaking, and you can't save me
that's why i say goodbye before you leave
Tell me this isn't love, this isn't right
you don't need me in your life
trying to save you the trouble this time
No it's Not what you think, it's not black and white
Get out while you're still alive
I'm trying to save you the trouble this time
You start the fire then you get burnt
so take back the love that I cant return
I'm breaking, and you can't save me
that's why i say goodbye before you leave
Tell me this isn't love, this isn't right
you don't need me in your life
trying to save you the trouble this time
No it's Not what you think, it's not black and white
Get out while you're still alive
I'm trying to save you the trouble this time
coz I'm the mess you don't need
And we both know you're better off without me
Tell me this isn't love, this isn't right
you don't need me in your life
trying to save you the trouble this times
No it's Not what you think, it's not black and white
Get out while you're still alive
I'm trying to save you the trouble this time
trying to save you the trouble this time
trying to save you the trouble tonight

Jaded
03:25

When all you said was let's wait a minute
Speed up the pace coz I can't deal with it
There I go reading between the lines
like we're running out of time
You tell me you love me, i hear you say you don't
You held my hand, I only feel you letting go, oh
Coz I'm Jaded, My heart's a little Jaded.
I hope that you can save it, I'm a little Jaded from you
Turn the key, you open up the front door
With groceries that you place down on the floor
But I'm sure your thinking how much would fit inside
Your suitcase as you're leaving us behind
You kiss my cheek, I try not to forget
You'll break my heart, you just haven't done it yet
Coz I'm Jaded, My heart's a little Jaded.
I hope that you can save it, I'm a little Jaded from you
Broken promises laid upon the floor
My heart Is bruised I come back for more
Can't blame you for what you haven't done
When I feel safe and warm - that's when I will run
Coz I'm Jaded, My heart's a little Jaded.
I hope that you can save it,
That's what you made it, coz I'm Jaded, from you

Walk On
03:26

Seems however tall I feel,
I am so small, my dreams are always out of reach
I breathe, the pressure burdens me
And all I must do, so I start with my two feet
And take a step, followed by the next
Into tomorrow, I’ll take it slow
For every one, there’s a thousand gone before
All of the laughter and the tears make it worth it all
If there’s a stop in the road, my soul will go beyond
My will is strong, and I’ll walk on, I’ll walk on
When the dawn begins to fade
Suddenly blind and I’m praying for the light
Again, it’s raining down on me
My faith is shaken and I don’t know what is right
I turn to see just where I have been
How far I’ve come, then I see the sun
For every one, there’s a thousand gone before
All of the laughter and the tears make it worth it all
If there’s a stop in the road, my soul will go beyond
My will is strong, and I’ll walk on, I’ll walk on
I take a step, followed by the next
Into tomorrow, I’ll take it slow
For every one, there’s a thousand gone before
All of the laughter and the tears make it worth it all
If there’s a stop in the road, my soul will go beyond
My will is strong, and I’ll walk on, I’ll walk on

Candlelight
03:57

You've been to hell and returned
I know you didn't send a postcard coz it would have got burned
And it's a winding road through the rain when you have no cover
Undoubtedly, your back's against the wall
When the world seems frozen when you're bruised and broken
Like a single grain of sand in the hourglass stalls
Let me try to turn it back around so you don't fall
It's a long way through the night
Let me be your Candlelight, show you everything will be alright
It's so dark outside
I will be your Candlelight and everything will be alright
You've been to Rome and to the Andes
Travelled all across the world but you never found what makes you happy
Well, I could show you the way to see what's in-between, if you come with me
Undeniably don't it make you feel small
When the world seems frozen when your bruised and broken
Like a single grain of sand in the hourglass stalls
Let me try to turn it back around so you don't fall
It's a long way through the night
Let me be your Candlelight, show you everything will be alright
It's so dark outside
I will be your Candlelight and everything will be alright
Looking back down the road you came
A million miles somehow you lost the way
Your heavy heart can now be safe
You don't have to be afraid, anyway coz
It's a long way through the night
Let me be your Candlelight, show you everything will be alright
It's so dark outside
I will be your Candlelight and everything will be alright
