Olivia Rodrigo lyrics, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love edition

▸ i know that the bar closes at 11. ▸ one night i was bored in bed and stalked you on the internet. ▸ you're looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles. ▸ i feel the most alive i've ever been but kiss me and i might drop dead. ▸ i feel like i might throw up. ▸ you're so, so pretty, boy. i'm paranoid i made you up. ▸ i'd love it if you walked me home if you promise we can go real slow. ▸ i've been dropping hints all night that i'd love if you held my hand, goddamn. ▸ i think we might go really nice together. ▸ if you let me stay the night, i think i might just have to stay forever. ▸ they say that honest love is a cage that makes you feel free. ▸ you're a spark in the dark. ▸ you should feel how i feel when somebody says your name. ▸ i want you more than any stupid song could ever say. ▸ i feel right, i feel wrong, i feel totally insane. ▸ if there is a god, he's the bond that's between us two. ▸ every night like the one before, i dream of you from like 1 to 4. ▸ postively and truly sure, nobody's wanted somebody more. ▸ i'm going crazy, i'm going mad. i want you, baby, so bad. ▸ so i guess that it's true time can heal even the worst of wounds. ▸ let's just walk in the dark. ▸ i love the way you look at me. ▸ even when i'm quiet, i love you, baby, i promise. ▸ would you sit and keep me company? ▸ in the dark, i'm not scared. ▸ my day is so mundane, i don't think i left the house. ▸ i'm a zombie in my body, i'm a train off the track. ▸ i feel dirty, i feel rotten and all the colours are all flat. ▸ sometimes, at a low point, i even wish for tragedy 'cause i know [you/they] would come over and take real good care of me. ▸ what can i do but think of you? ▸ i know everybody changes but i hope that we don't. ▸ tell me yet again about when we met and what you thought of me. ▸ sometimes, i get overwhelmed and way too far ahead of myself. ▸ they say, modern love's a cruel endeavour and to that i say, "fuck it, whatever." ▸ you linger in the air just like a bad perfume. ▸ you're in my way now. ▸ don't go where you don't belong. ▸ you keep calling but you never get the message. ▸ i wonder what you think is gonna go down or maybe you're just trying to get me riled up now. ▸ here's a map of the lines i drew. ▸ so where'd you get that confidence from? ▸ maybe i'm a petty bitch but you made me resort to this.

▸ it's a small world when it only can revolve around us two. ▸ i had big dreams 'til i tied myself to you. ▸ are we so in love? are we too attached? ▸ i thought i found the antidote this time. ▸ i'm feeling so alone, i might as well be on the moon. ▸ my head is full of poison and my heart is full of doubt. ▸ i got toxins in my bloodstream, you tried hard to suck them out. ▸ it doesn't matter how your love feels anymore. it'll never be the cure. ▸ why can't you come stitch me up? ▸ why can't it ever be enough? ▸ all that i want is to know undoubtedly that you just have eyes for me. could you make it clear? ▸ all that i want is to sit here silently and watch movies on tv. ▸ they say it's a virtue to not let good love slip away. ▸ nothing's quite enough when i know that to get it, i begged. ▸ i feel trapped inside my life. ▸ i'm overwhelmed, i'm underfed. ▸ i'm not feeling like myself and nothing ever seems to help. ▸ every movie that i see makes me cry. ▸ it's like somebody put a weight on my chest. ▸ i think you're what's wrong with me. ▸ i keep looking for distractions, hope the feeling passes but i've got to say it's getting harder every day. ▸ what if this isn't what i want? ▸ i tried meditation with a bottle of wine. ▸ all amber lights and warning bells. ▸ i don't wanna talk. let's just go to bed or something. ▸ maybe it'll fix itself tomorrow. ▸ if loving me means letting go and wishing me the best, then i guess i wish you loved me less. ▸ this isn't what it should feel like. ▸ i could try convincing you they're just intrusive thoughts but you've seen me truly happy so you know right now i'm not. ▸ i think this is the end. ▸ [he] wasn't smart or funny, i convinced myself [he] was. ▸ took a couple of months but now i am secure. ▸ your indecision is painfully unattractive. ▸ past mistakes are just new information. ▸ these days, i've got expectations. ▸ i've got hope, i've got drive, i will not lose my faith. ▸ i regret you and how long i stayed. ▸ i resent you for not being brave. ▸ you said that i made loving look easy 'til i made it hard. ▸ give me back my time and i will give you back your heart. ▸ i thought we played the perfect couple 'til you didn't want the part. ▸ some nights can be so fucking lonely but it's better than begging for [you] to stand up for me. ▸ why'd i try at all?

Noah Kahan lyrics, The Great Divide edition

▸ if these trees started talking, i bet you they'd only talk shit. ▸ we never do anything real, we just talk about it. ▸ i thought getting older meant knowing it's too late to try. ▸ i tried getting sober, i swear i did better this time. ▸ everything you see out here will die. it's a matter of time. ▸ anything you need, i will provide. a ride home or an alibi. ▸ i know the traffic light you can speed right by cause the camera's down. ▸ it's a place where most kids just grow up and have kids who grow up and have kids. ▸ i'd hurt anyone i could. anyone who got too close and anyone who wouldn't look. ▸ you were unsuspecting, not unwarned. ▸ you put your money on red, i'm a sure bet at a losing streak. ▸ it gets harder to see me the closer you look. ▸ have you ever stared directly at the sun? have you ever shared some closeness, so exposed, to have it spit back by someone? ▸ forgive me if i jump at the rattle of your keys. ▸ i'll be gone so long before the anger comes. ▸ i'll be only what you've known of me until now. ▸ i hope you're moving on. ▸ i was working on a plan to disappear completely, gaslighting my friends into thinking i was busy. ▸ if drinking was a day job, i'd be asking for more money. ▸ you're here and we're so grateful you are. ▸ you're gonna fix it. you're gonna patch it up. ▸ you always come running back whenever i ask. ▸ i hate to drag you back here but i think [he's] really lost it. ▸ make [him] talk, make it stop, all i want is a dialogue. ▸ we're drowning here, i've gotta stay for [mom]. ▸ you know how to talk. well, you did back then. we could talk so much and it's fine we don't but can you come home? ▸ there's something about the window seats that got you feeling like a poet. ▸ i think that we had everything. until now i just didn't know it. ▸ we'll be strangers in the morning. ▸ you know you never really could quite place when i'm angry and i'm joking. ▸ you state a feeling like a fact. ▸ call me when it goes to shit. ▸ i swear i won't tell anyone. ▸ i don't mind being your dead end. ▸ i think it's fine to never move on. ▸ i'm hoping that you open up to someone kind and they hold it all against you. ▸ i'll keep rooting for your downfall. ▸ i called you but i'd run out of words. ▸ if you were here, you'd make a joke of it. ▸ your love is like an open flame, i'm a running car and you're a closed garage. ▸ people grow up and then move away but you don't care and i don't mind at all. ▸ in the interest of time, we've got a whole lot to waste. ▸ i can't recall the last time that we talked. ▸ we ain't friends. we're just morons who broke skin in the same spot. ▸ i'm high enough to still care if i die. ▸ you know i think about you all the time. ▸ you know i think about you all the time and my deep misunderstanding of your life and how bad it must have been for you back then and how hard it was to keep it all inside. ▸ i hope you settle down. ▸ i hope you're scared of only ordinary shit. like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin and not your soul and what he might he do with it.

▸ the world is scared of hesitating things. ▸ i hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass. ▸ i hope you're with someone who isn't scared to ask. ▸ i hope that you're not losing sleep about what's next. ▸ it ain't a high road now, it's just uneven ground. ▸ if a lie turned true, a lie it would still be. ▸ you ain't a goddamn hero now cause you cry on live tv. ▸ at least i got a soul still, even if i'm in a bad place. ▸ you're showing up like bad news and leaving like a bad dream. ▸ help me if it helps you sleep. ▸ you grew your hair out long, now you think you're jesus christ. there ain't nobody mistaking your guilt for some great sacrifice. ▸ you walked into a haunted house and got angry at the ghosts. ▸ we were fine without you, baby. ▸ despite all odds, that was great. ▸ i'm willing and able if you wanna kick this rock around. ▸ i'll stay here til morning. we can fight like we used to fight. ▸ look at you leaving again, it's all you know how to do. ▸ they all say you're a light, all i see is the shadow. ▸ if i call you out, i'm an asshole but i tell the truth when i drink. ▸ i wish you could know me and i wish i could know you much more sometimes. ▸ you always went looking for an easy way out. ▸ you tell yourself lies and disguise them as facts. ▸ turns out that you're still an asshole. ▸ all your new friends look a lot like your last and i wonder why. ▸ it ain't our fault that you aren't suddenly somebody else cause you've worked on yourself. ▸ half as drunk as i thought i'd be by now, that's good. ▸ even when you're not here, it becomes about you. ▸ if i never see you again, you could be anything i want. ▸ stay gone. ▸ i still ball up my fists when they mention your name. ▸ no one gets to talk shit but the ones you've shit on. ▸ i would ask how you've been, it's all over the internet but, hey, i mean, you knew that after all. ▸ it is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine but i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. ▸ there ain't no shame in calling this thing quits. ▸ i ain't holding breath, ain't holding any faith at all. ▸ i'll pray for you, be in pain for you. ▸ i'll leave the porch light on. ▸ i guess you're my fault. ▸ i wanna see you lose it. i wanna hear you say it. ▸ i wanna know the dark that i share a brain with. ▸ tell me when you were broken. ▸ do you still have a heart or has somebody stole it? ▸ i'm far too tired to watch you lie.

▸ another thing we don't talk about anymore. don't worry, i won't bring it up. ▸ you can scream at me when i come home drunk. ▸ when i ask about the past, you deny. ▸ we're both exhausted for different reasons. ▸ i used to care to know your secrets. ▸ you said you got a guilty conscience but i ain't ever seen it. ▸ you'll get told to go to hell by some summertime flatlander with a "coexistence" sticker on the bumper of their car. ▸ it's gone to shit without you. ▸ it was shit before but at least i had you. ▸ i've been taking your advice and trying to scream less at the tourists. ▸ if i see one more cybertruck, i swear to god, i'm gonna floor it. ▸ i need somebody here to talk me out of things i can't undo. ▸ i can't make myself whole, most days i'd be lucky just to get half. ▸ you've seen me in places so low, you can recognize when it's real bad. ▸ i love you and i can't fake that for a moment. ▸ we go way back. ▸ tell me i don't need options, that i have substance, that i'm important. ▸ i'm always trying to run from what i'm known for. ▸ we're north of nowhere now. ▸ tell the fellas at the morgue that i'm heading back on tour. ▸ wipe your hands and wash your face. ▸ i wanna be you but i don't wanna be that. ▸ where i'm from and what i'm worth have gotten too damn intertwined. ▸ if i'm gone this time next year, i hope you've had a decent time. ▸ i swear you're gonna get it, kid. someday. ▸ they did not look scared at all. ▸ tell me when it feels you cannot escape me. ▸ i'm just happy you still call. ▸ i couldn't make it back even if i tried. ▸ some things live forever, even when they die. ▸ know i wanna beat it. i wanna beat it bad. ▸ i'm always on my own. ▸ you can vanish, yes, love, you can try to disappear. ▸ maybe i'm manic again but i think this time i'm out for good. ▸ this ain't mine anymore, i made too much goddamn noise. ▸ you're appealing to the parts that you know i hold dear. ▸ you've been the best five minutes of a shitty old year. ▸ we're so alone most of the time. ▸ where do we go when we die? i wouldn't mind right here. i wouldn't mind at all. ▸ you tried to tell me how unfair it is that i have what i have and you got what you got. ▸ i'd give it all back if i could. i cannot. ▸ i hated the way i made it all about me. ▸ every day from back then is like a bad old dream. ▸ flip a rock, see the bugs sleeping sound. hey, that's us. ▸ you and i will be found. ▸ don't the sky look pretty up here?

Bastille lyrics, Bad Blood edition

▸ i was left to my own devices. ▸ many days fell away with nothing to show. ▸ but if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? ▸ if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before? ▸ how am i gonna be an optimist about this? ▸ we were caught up and lost in all of our vices. ▸ where do we begin, the rubble or our sins? ▸ these are the things we lost in the fire. ▸ we sat and made a list of all the things that we had. ▸ i was the match and you were the rock. maybe we started this fire. ▸ we were born with nothing and we sure as hell have nothing now. ▸ do you understand that we will never be the same again? ▸ the future's in our hands. ▸ i don't wanna talk about it. ▸ you said you always had my back. ▸ these little things define you forever. ▸ all this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? ▸ if we're only ever looking back, we will drive ourselves insane. ▸ as the friendship goes, resentment grows. ▸ we will walk our different ways. ▸ i don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore. ▸ these words are all we have. ▸ we'll be talking. ▸ you lean towards despair. any given opportunity you're there. ▸ what is there to gain when you're always falling off the fence that way? ▸ i don't want them. ▸ they pull me back and i surrender to the memories i run from. ▸ we have paved these streets with moments of defeat. ▸ i won't show my face here anymore. ▸ in my mind, it's like you haunt these streets. ▸ passing through, i think i see you in the shapes of other women. ▸ all that's left behind is a shadow on my mind. ▸ a shadow cast upon the wall is a silhouette and nothing more. ▸ all that you desired when you were a child was to be old. now that you are here, suddenly you fear you've lost control. ▸ do you like the person you've become? ▸ look who's digging their own grave. ▸ you'll drink yourself to death. ▸ look who makes their own bed lies right down within it and what will you have left? ▸ icarus is flying too close to the sun and icarus' life, it has only just begun. ▸ it scares me half to death. ▸ look out to the future but it tells you nothing so take another breath. ▸ you put up your defences when you leave. you leave because you're certain of who you want to be. ▸ when oblivion is calling out your name, you always take it further than i ever can. ▸ when you play it hard and i try to follow you there, it's not about control but i turn back when i see where you go. ▸ are you going to leave a path to trace? ▸ when all of your flaws and all of my flaws are laid out one by one, we pick ourselves undone. ▸ there's a hole in my soul, i can't fill it. ▸ you have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve and i have always buried them deep beneath the ground. ▸ dig them up, let's finish what we started. ▸ all of your flaws and all of my flaws, when they have been exhumed we'll see that we need them to be who we are. without them, we'd be doomed. ▸ look at the wonderful mess that we made. ▸ you thought the lions were bad. well, they tried to kill my brothers. ▸ for every king that died, they would crown another. ▸ it's harder than you think telling dreams from one another. ▸ felled in the night by the ones you think you love, they will come for you. ▸ oh, to see what it means to be free of the shackles and the dream that you claim to see. ▸ the night was all you had. ▸ you ran into the night from all you had. ▸ you ran into the night, you can't be found. ▸ this is your heart. can you feel it? ▸ what a year and what a night, what terrifying final sights. ▸ how am i gonna get myself back home? ▸ we are the last people standing at the end of the night. ▸ we are the greatest pretenders. ▸ this is just another night and we've had many of them. ▸ the birds are mocking me. ▸ there's an albatross around your neck, all the things you've said and the things you've done. can you carry it with no regrets? ▸ can you stand the person you've become?

Mitski lyrics, Nothing's About to Happen to Me edition

▸ i'd never live in a small town. i've made too many mistakes. ▸ in a big city, you can start over. ▸ everywhere you go makes your heart ache when you've done enough walks of shame. ▸ some days, [i] just go the long way to stay off of memory lane. ▸ i've tried very hard to be good but when they think you're bad, people act worse. ▸ where did it go? where's my phone? ▸ where did i leave? where'd i go? ▸ i just want my mind to be a clear glass, clear glass with nothing in my head. ▸ i keep thinking, 'surely, somebody will save me.' at every turn, i learn that no one will. ▸ i won't leave you 'cause i still love you. so it's up to you if you choose to go. ▸ you say, 'it's so hard' but it feels simple to me. it feels so simple to me. ▸ i've been trying to stop trying to be like someone you'd still like. maybe if i could, you already would. ▸ if i leave, somebody else will love you but nobody else could forgive me quite as often as you. ▸ if i leave, somebody else will find you but nobody else could see me quite as clearly as you. ▸ only you know. i've let only you know. ▸ how could i lose you? ▸ who else could love me quite as kindly as you? ▸ would you have liked me better if i'd had died so you could tell my story the way it ought to be? ▸ if i'd died willing, you'd have taken it nice. ▸ ransack the house for what you'll auction, what you'll keep. ▸ [she] gave [her] life so we could have [her] in our dreams. ▸ i'm not here. i'm where nobody can reach. ▸ instead of live, i was lying on the floor with Death crouching beside me and i still got up for more. ▸ i'm done after this. ▸ is this what it's worth? ▸ the stars never answered back. ▸ excuse me, i'll be opening my box of old friend misery, my secret treat to feel like myself again. ▸ i won't be here, i'll be where nobody can reach. ▸ how do i let our love die when you're the only other keeper of my most precious memories? ▸ yeah, i've been drinking. why's that gotta mean i can't call you about you and me? ▸ 'cause i'll do anything for you to love me again. ▸ if you don't like me now, i will change for you. ▸ bars, such magic places. you can be with other people without having anyone at all. ▸ i'm loitering outside, watching all the cars passing by like a kid waiting for my ride. ▸ i'll come over. i'll be dressed like your best idea. ▸ you'll be gentle. you will ruin me. ▸ i'm nobody's anyone anymore. ▸ i'll be alone for a while but i'm only crying 'cause it feels good. ▸ i'll have a new haircut, i will be somebody else. ▸ please pretend that you don't see how i'm no longer there behind my eyes. ▸ things will leave you. they get broken, they get lost. the only thing you can trust is what you lived through. ▸ how about when i die? what do you hold on to? ▸ [they're] meeting every night, keeping vigil in the place where [their] people went away. ▸ she almost was one of the girls who died in that house. ▸ all hail the rain, running like ghosts on the roof. ▸ here we are. we've been waiting to be born again. ▸ when i die, could i come back as the rain? ▸ if i'm dark, all the better to reflect the moonlight. ▸ if i mourn, all the better to behold the sunrise. ▸ i can hear the song of my death.

Mumford & Sons lyrics, Prizefighter edition

▸ well, here's my final serenade. ▸ here's all the mistakes i made for too long. ▸ here's my address and the ones i blame. ▸ while you're sitting taking names, i just want to belong. ▸ here's a picture that i saved before you were gone. ▸ can you hold all my secrets? ▸ can we swear that we can forget? ▸ i had lies like you wouldn't believe. ▸ you're a world away but you're still the same. ▸ i know you by your heart and i will call you by your name. ▸ it's a long way from the crack to the break. ▸ you know that i remember everything. ▸ steady yourself and your tumbleweed words. ▸ nothing lasts forever, babe. you know it breaks my heart. ▸ i'll call you anything that you like. ▸ i am free and i'm able to call you the second that you die just to live now. ▸ if nothing lasts forever, babe, then can we make a start? ▸ and midnight 'round my neck and sunrise on my breath, i still wait for you. ▸ will you lay down all the things you've done? ▸ don't turn your face around. you can come undone. ▸ do you need someone? hey, i'm a mess myself but i think i could be someone if you need someone. ▸ i was alone, it was fine, i could deny all i like. i could just push back and make believe and it was alright. ▸ burn a bridge, it'll be alright. things don't have to fall apart. ▸ where i'm headed, i won't be back. ▸ when we run, we run together. ▸ when we're apart, we fall apart. ▸ i'm yours, and yours, and ever. ▸ change is never too late. ▸ broken suits me best. i'll need for less and less. ▸ i can dream on my knees. ▸ when i'm empty then i'm free. ▸ i will love you now and ever, you're the star. ▸ there's no flowers growing in the place where we are right. ▸ the kids and their questions. it'll keep you up all night. ▸ it's always the same choice. ▸ the best i ever met. had nothing and gave it all away. ▸ we'd rather be ruined than change. ▸ love your crooked neighbour with your crooked heart. ▸ reach across again. here's where heaven starts. ▸ i end where you begin with my hand over your heart. ▸ i'm with you 'til the end. ▸ i was quiet, i was alright 'til it pulled me under. ▸ i was in pieces then 'til you put me back together. ▸ is this all there is? ▸ what do you mean, is this not enough for you? ▸ i was wild, i was free, unencumbered and i carry it around 'til it pulls me under. ▸ i can be no concern or i can pull you under. ▸ you move on but i stay put. ▸ where would we be if i had lied? ▸ you were right, no one knows the love we shared, and yes, i care. ▸ if i could, then i would take a piece of the sky down with me. ▸ i should just stay put 'til you're good. ▸ just say [they're] really not me, now is he? ▸ i don't look back 'cause i'm still here. ▸ ghosts cannot apologise for the hearts they broke. ▸ is it my heart that's still broke? ▸ you should've seen me in my glory.

▸ i'm ready and i'm kind of relieved to shed that skin. ▸ could i persuade you to begin again? ▸ experience is killing the way we used to lie. ▸ i was on your side. ▸ give it up, don't wait. there's nothing left to run from anyway. ▸ what happened to your good faith? ▸ give it up while you can. ▸ don't carry your father's sins more than you can take. i swear there's another way. ▸ how did we lose our way? ▸ we're made of the same dust. ▸ can you see a way out? ▸ you're still in pain. ▸ how could [she] throw me away? at least wait 'til i have wings on. ▸ it took me all i had to turn away from this one. ▸ thought i'd take my chances. i was blinded, i was young. ▸ well, it turns out i turned out fine. ▸ i was blinded, i was in love. ▸ can you help me out and speak the peace i need? ▸ we promised. ▸ i'll hold you to it. ▸ you said you'd wait if i should fall behind. my promise was the same to you. ▸ i know it takes all you have to escape the night but the sun, it still rises for you. ▸ will you stay? ▸ remember they said i was born wild. ▸ i'm always walking a thin line, running away from a low tide. ▸ don't look down now. i'm not done here yet. ▸ i think you may never understand. ▸ run with me, we can still make it high. ▸ running away from a tame life, running away like a wild child. ▸ [i'm] always looking for another way out, never just at ease. ▸ when everybody settles down to revel, that's when i have to leave. ▸ staring down forever feels like more than i can take. ▸ all i ever wanted was a reason to believe but i've been holding on to everything as tightly as i can. ▸ i'm just a shadow of a [man] and it's more than i can hold. ▸ all that i wish that i could be makes me a liar. ▸ 'cause i've stared over the edge and i've seen where it leads. ▸ god, what i would give if i could only feel at ease. ▸ when it's quiet, when it's still, go easy if you can. ▸ i've seen over the edge. there's reason to believe. i feel it pull too tight, wrap its arms around me. ▸ prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet and tell me which you love the most. ▸ and in the end, i'll tell you everything even if it keeps you awake. ▸ and by the end, you'll know me for everything, how far i bend before i break. ▸ i'm your queen and i'm your worst nightmare but sometimes i'm the dream. ▸ and in the end, i'll tell you everything. i'm sorry if it keeps you awake. ▸ do you ever feel like we should run away again? ▸ shall we drive on until we're tired? ▸ will i still see you tomorrow? ▸ how much is too much, babe? ▸ here's all i owe and what'll drive you away. ▸ help me to learn from my mistakes. ▸ when it's over and the chemicals are all intact, you know i adore you. nevermind how i react. ▸ at the end of the day when i'm broken or beat, here i am, complete. ▸ the chase is over. i am done. ▸ isn't normality a treat? ▸ i'll take all the grass you give me as long as you let me stay. ▸ at the end of the day when i'm broken or beat, here i have everything i need.

Florence + The Machine lyrics, Everybody Scream edition

▸ i break down, get up and do it all again. ▸ i could come here and scream as loud as i want. ▸ here, i don't have to be quiet. here, i don't have to be kind. ▸ extraordinary and normal all at the same time. ▸ look at me run myself ragged. ▸ aren't you so glad you came? ▸ the witchcraft, the medicine, the spells and the injections, the harvest and the needle protect me from evil. ▸ the magic and the misery, madness and the mystery, what has it done to me? ▸ i crawled up from under the earth, broken nails and coughing dirt. ▸ i knew i came back from the dead to show you how it's done, to show you what it takes to become one of the greats. ▸ i told the truth but could never see it through. ▸ did i get it right? do i win the prize? ▸ do you regret bringing me back to life? ▸ why did you dig me up for this? ▸ you could have me if you weren't so afraid of me. ▸ it's funny how men don't find power very sexy. ▸ i will let the light in, i will let some love in. ▸ i will be happy, it will be perfect. ▸ show me the way this feeling leads. ▸ desire beyond reason is a ruinous thing. ▸ my feet are bleeding but i cannot stop. i have many, many miles yet to cross. ▸ we've been waiting to meet you, it's only a matter of time. ▸ your threats and your promises, they don't scare me. after all, there's nobody more monstrous than me. ▸ am i so different? have i changed? ▸ i no longer try to be good. it didn't keep me safe like you told me that it would. ▸ come on, tear me wide open 'til i'm losing my mind, 'til i cannot contain it. ▸ come on, i can take it! give me everything you got! ▸ all shall be well. ▸ miracles are often inconvenient and a prayer is a spell. ▸ i am changing, becoming something else. ▸ well, healing is slow, it comes and it goes. ▸ something's gained when something's lost. ▸ what would i even say? ▸ i'm stupid and i'm damaged and you're a disaster. ▸ i know it won't work but make it ache, make it hurt. ▸ you make me think my therapy is a waste of money. ▸ i'm falling for anyone awful who tells me i'm pretty. ▸ i blocked your number but you didn't notice. ▸ oh god, i thought i was too old for this. i should be over it. ▸ sometimes my body seems so alien to me. ▸ the swamp, it took them down. ▸ some things, it seems, are catching up with me. ▸ do you see me now? ▸ did you know how big i would become? ▸ there's nothing you can do. some things, it seems, are catching up with you. ▸ [you] said i would be nothing, but look, i'm really something. ▸ will you see me through the pain? ▸ have you changed? well, so have i. ▸ do i terrify? ▸ i am wound so tightly, i hardly even breathe. ▸ i'm so tired of being careful, so tired of being still. give me something i can crush, something i can kill. ▸ you can't outrun yourself, you'll see. ▸ i'm powerless, i know, don't remind me. ▸ every night i went to see them, no, i did not sleep. ▸ what i thought was a night was a thousand years. ▸ all the love that came my way, i found a way to push away. ▸ i don't wanna be afraid anymore. ▸ i don't wanna run from love like i had before. ▸ you have a bigger ego than you think you do. ▸ let it be us, let it be home. ▸ i know how to fall in love, i do it constantly. i fall in love with everyone i meet for ten minutes at least. ▸ i always thought i was nice, i thought i was kind 'til i tried to do something that was almost real life. ▸ it's so much harder than it looks. ▸ if it required practice and dedication, i just got bored. ▸ we discussed something called compromise. a brand new concept that i never tried. ▸ i used to think i knew what sadness was. i was wrong. ▸ i stay in the house, move furniture about, try and control what i can. ▸ you can have it all. ▸ and love was not what i thought it was. ▸ it was not a love song, it was something else. more like surrendering to something and more like resting than running. ▸ peace is coming.

▸ was that enough to make you come? ▸ am i enough to make you stay? ▸ oh, here comes the apocalypse. ▸ tell me to wait but i won't. ▸ one kiss and i was disembowelled. ▸ the pigeons were witches. ▸ ain't that so much better than a ring on my finger? ▸ the bitterness is growing. ▸ if you twist the knife right, i will twist the knife left. ▸ i count the ways that i love you every day. ▸ the days don't get easier. ▸ the gaps just get bigger until i can almost bear thinking of you. ▸ i can taste hell. that should be for me. ▸ take me back, take me back. ▸ i don't want to need to go back. ▸ you know i hate to lose and maybe that's why i've left you behind. ▸ i feel like i've left you behind. ▸ ain't it nice? being second best? ▸ i'm losing my mind. ▸ what do i do to be better for you? ▸ i've never been so scorned to find your kindness didn't last. ▸ god knows i left him by mistake. ▸ if only you'd been honest, you could have spared this bloodshed. ▸ when your hand is bigger than my heart, you can crush it just the way i like. ▸ you got a whole lotta nerve and a whole lotta spite. ▸ when you leave, don't look me in the eye. ▸ i'm down so bad, i'm doing time. ▸ there's nothing but death. ▸ are you happy now? ▸ can you stay a while? ▸ does it feel good spilling blood? ▸ let this be the end. ▸ i can't feel a thing anymore. ▸ i'll shelter your soul. ▸ my heart is at rest now and everything's still. ▸ i don't know if i'd be a good [mother]. ▸ i blame myself, i should have told you to be careful. ▸ i don't want to see you cry. ▸ nobody asked me to but that is what i'm meant to do. ▸ what's it to live once you've survived? ▸ i've never known where others begin and i end. ▸ it's always you before me until the gods come crashing down. ▸ it's not what i was made to do but believe me, i still care. ▸ you want the world, i'd give it to you. ▸ i'll take you with me anywhere. ▸ it'll take you too. take a long time. ▸ make it quick so i can't see the scythe in its sheath. ▸ each life runs its course. i'll see you in the next one. ▸ nothing lasts. ▸ next time you call, i'll be your [girl]. ▸ i'm terrified there'll be no second chance. ▸ cowardice is prettiest in a nice dress. ▸ i keep trying. lord, i'm trying. ▸ i've never known myself but then i've never claimed to. ▸ this heart of mine is a glorified abscess. ▸ i've never been myself but then i've always seemed to know. ▸ i'm drinking to your health. ▸ i'm nothing but a shell.

The Crane Wives lyrics, Coyote Stories edition

▸ when i was a child, my nerves ran wild. ▸ with the risk of fall, i never climbed at all. ▸ nothing worth doing comes easy. ▸ time is not your friend. ▸ time is not your remedy. ▸ no amount of waiting will make you brave. ▸ no amount of fear will keep you safe. ▸ the older i get, the more fears i collect. i gather them from all the people i meet. ▸ what if the steps i take turn out to be mistakes? ▸ how can somebody like me learn to say 'come what may'? ▸ tell me once again i could have been anyone else before you made the choice for me. ▸ we made our peace with weariness and let it be. ▸ i loved you like the sun, bore the shadows that you made with no light of my own. ▸ i shine only with the light you gave me. ▸ we could have had anything. instead you hoarded all that's left of me. ▸ the words i speak are wildfires and weeds. they spread like some awful damn disease. ▸ i swear i didn't mean what i said. ▸ now listen close, you owe me ears for dropping eaves. ▸ forget it all, you caught me in a moment weak. ▸ sometimes i just can't help myself. ▸ are we allies or enemies? ▸ this will be the death of me. ▸ remember when i could tell you not to smile when you were mad? and you would always crack and we'd both be laughing in the end. ▸ all is fair in love and war but i can't fight with you anymore. ▸ what happens now? do we have another go? ▸ i'll admit i've had my doubts but i want to be let in, not out. ▸ now my love is gone and i am left unraveling. ▸ now my love is gone and i am left here withering. ▸ now my love is gone and i can't help the fracturing. ▸ i never knew that i needed you. ▸ now my love is gone and i am left unraveling. ▸ i'm trying to make something of myself. my better days, i go buy the hard sell. ▸ i feel like i'm working with barbed wire and moth wings 'cause i can't really get a hold of many things. ▸ i'm one deep breath away from a breakdown. ▸ the world is hostile and i'm fragile. ▸ i need someone to kiss the cuts and tell me to keep trying. ▸ is it me? is it really just me? ▸ does everybody have it together or are we all pretending? ▸ can we stop pretending now? can we all admit that we don't have it figured out?

▸ we best get a move on or the devil we will meet. ▸ don't look back now, honey. just try to breathe. ▸ that monster's coming and it doesn't care for you or me. ▸ i've gotten good at leaning on metaphors. ▸ i've gotten good at living on someone else's page. ▸ you can't trust a single thing i say. ▸ i keep my closet free of skeletons 'cause i'm much better at digging graves but i always dig up bones in your sympathy. ▸ i can't trust a single thing you say. ▸ don't look too hard 'cause you won't like the scars he left in me. ▸ i've gotten good at making up metaphors. i've gotten good at stretching the truth out of shape and all these words are sweet and meaningless. ▸ no man should stand to work all his days and have nothing at the end of them. ▸ as for time, i am powerless to stop it. it keeps rambling on like a mad, wandering man. ▸ my papa taught me how to howl. how to bare my teeth and growl. ▸ [he] taught me that the hand that feeds deserves to be bitten when it beats. ▸ no man should get more of my time than me. ▸ i may never be a rich man but i can make sure that i am free. ▸ it was a march we made towards ruin and despair but we held hands all the while. ▸ i swear that i loved you. ▸ we didn't give up. we wouldn't dare surrender. it was an honest loss. ▸ i swear that you loved me. ▸ i fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown but you were already gone. ▸ the sleeping giants are finally waking. ▸ i hear something calling me. ▸ the moon is humming lovely melodies. ▸ only my lover, not i, can keep my soul. ▸ on some level i think i always understood that these hands of mine were clumsy, not clever. ▸ i tried to do the best that i could but try as i might i couldn't bring myself to hold you. ▸ it's a secret i keep tucked inside my chest with this heart of mine that's guilty, not remorseful. ▸ there is love that doesn't have a place to rest but it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders. ▸ there are times when i still wonder about you. ▸ you are someone i have loved but never known ▸ you'll never see the reasons i had for keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you. ▸ i am selfish, i am broken, i am cruel. i am all the things they might have said to you. ▸ i want to stand on the edge of the water and see horizons stretch on forever. ▸ sometimes i feel like i'm lost in a desert and every dune is the same as the other. ▸ these steps i take won't go to waste if i'm moving towards something. ▸ i want to believe there's something left for me. ▸ i want to kindle a love that doesn't age. ▸ tell me i will be surprised when i think i've memorized every tough and every thought. ▸ i want you to prove me wrong.

The Crane Wives lyrics, The Fool In Her Wedding Gown edition

▸ who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here? ▸ there's no room for all the hearts who will not stay. ▸ tell yourself there's no more need to lie. ▸ we don't have time for that. ▸ my love will fall with grace. ▸ steady. you know when you're ready. ▸ the heat can make you lose your head. ▸ how long is forever? ▸ this ring around my finger's like a chain around my throat. ▸ are you so sure you've tamed me? ▸ ain't it a shame with time our dreams turned into jokes. ▸ don't just watch me. go, you fool! ▸ run with me, keep up! ▸ are you listening? ▸ if you can't, don't blame me. ▸ if i were someplace else, would this be easier? ▸ the only peace i have ever known is the peace i made with you. ▸ i won't move but i can't stay here so what the hell am i supposed to do? ▸ if i were someone else, would this be easier? ▸ please tell me someday i'll at least be able to sleep. ▸ i'm at a loss for better plans 'cause this is all i have. ▸ i'll just close my eyes and try to pretend this gets easier. ▸ oh, dear heart, be still. ▸ may the whole sky fall. may it all come down. ▸ keep your distance, make resistance. ▸ waste it all for the truth. ▸ bring it down on my head if these sins are mine. ▸ for as winsome as you may be, all you're doing now is losing me. ▸ you're the culprit so don't blame me. ▸ from your pulpit what will you preach? how to live a good long life that's full of suffering? ▸ i gave you everything i had and now i want it back. ▸ understand, i had to go. ▸ bundle up, darling, you're on your own now. ▸ i know that you mean so well but i am not a vessel for your good intent. ▸ if you're fine with that, you can be mine like that. ▸ abandon all your stupid dreams about the girl i could have been. ▸ i know you burn with feelings i cannot return. ▸ you gotta know that this won't last. ▸ oh, i will ruin you. it's a habit, i can't help it. ▸ there ain't nothing 'bout you i don't know. ▸ use me up and when you're done just give me back. ▸ i still don't know shit about letting go. ▸ i can't stay here anymore. ▸ i curse the ground, shed my old sins for weight will only make me weak. ▸ with malice, beasts will show their fangs. ▸ they're in for a surprise. ▸ i tried it your way, you tried it mine. ▸ the white flags still aren't waving, this ain't the good fight. ▸ i only fought for love at your request. ▸ didn't think you'd be the one to leave me clutching at my chest. ▸ you could still carry me away but you'd leave me here to die. ▸ my blood's forever on your hands. ▸ once and for all, what does that mean? ▸ it's a promise i'm making that i don't actually believe. ▸ i've tried it before so many times that i'm just fucking tired. ▸ i'll never be able to close that door. ▸ am i the only thing that keeps you safe when the light is gone? ▸ i still hold out hope that maybe someday i'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way. ▸ if in the end i lose my voice, will you forget about your love for me? ▸ please don't return me to the dark of all the memories. ▸ i will save you when your lights go out. ▸ that thing you fear will coax you out of that unholy place as all you've ever wanted is an escape. ▸ those of us who vow never to love again are making liars out of honest men. ▸ it's not something that you put to bed, hang your head and just forget. ▸ no, love don't know how to rest. ▸ when you've tired you will see there is no safe place. no sanctuary. ▸ it's all just child's play, a game of hide and seek. ▸ don't make it harder than it has to be. ▸ here's the truest thing i've ever known: the heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own. ▸ it doesn't stop when you decide not to move on. ▸ the heart knows nothing of your love or of your loss. ▸ love's the only thing worth being alive for.

The Crane Wives lyrics, Safe Ship, Harbored edition

▸ you won't find me where you left me. no, i'm long gone. ▸ you can't bind me in the state you kept me for so long. ▸ hearts don't wither, hearts don't break but mine is tired. mine still aches. ▸ all my love you tried to take but you can't have it all. ▸ i won't bargain, i won't break. ▸ my mind's made up though my head still aches. ▸ i will hold your heart like waves, open my lungs to let you in. ▸ swallow my heart whole, sink me like a stone, i am not afraid of anything. ▸ far too soon for this but i am all in. no matter how it ends. ▸ i am not afraid to give you everything. ▸ i have half a mind to climb up in the sky and steal new colors away from the sun. ▸ don't tell me that i can't. ▸ folks 'round here are mean, spit fire and gasoline. ▸ i have half a mind to climb up in the sky and hide myself inside the moon. ▸ i give up my sight to see. i give up my air to breathe. ▸ so you got bad in your blood. [brother], you're one of us. ▸ we're the daughters of sinners, we're the sons of saints. ▸ when it all turns you sour, only love can turn you back. ▸ pop your pill and force a smile, feign contentment for a while. that's all you know how to do. ▸ when the wool is off your eyes, you'll stop counting sheep at night. ▸ the nights seem to stretch on forever. ▸ morning comes a day too soon. ▸ you're back inside your tiny room waiting for something. so good at doing nothing. ▸ it's a losing battle so why are you still fighting? ▸ if there's a hole in the silver lining, i'll be the one to find it. ▸ leave your doubt at the door. don't you take another step. ▸ watch me give up, honey. ▸ where does your faith fall? where does your faith fall in me? ▸ don't waste your blessings on me. ▸ i ain't proud. ▸ i wasn't born a safe ship. something wore me down. ▸ i'll always wonder what's across the tossing ocean. ▸ turn your ghosts into mine. ▸ love i will learn like the elder trees. ▸ my dreams keep digging up the bones of memories. ▸ i try to let it fade away but i still hold on. ▸ my poor heart is an open wound. ▸ it's ancient history that's bleeding out of me so what am i supposed to do? ▸ i will crawl like a sinner to be at your feet should god or the devil ever ask for me. ▸ so let my hope grow cold and atrophy 'cause there is no more room in your heart for me. ▸ kiss me quick, steal every secret i keep. ▸ you can have anything that you want from me. ▸ there's blood in the water. ▸ i'm nobody's daughter. ▸ if mercy's abound, i'll be safe, i'll be sound and the devil won't know all the love i just couldn't let go. ▸ i pray, when it's done, when it's through i'll have something left for you. ▸ can anyone hear me? ▸ i am a pretty young thing. i am consumed with selfish wanting. ▸ i have all the time i need to repent my wicked deeds. ▸ a woman in love has no regrets. ▸ for life i gamble love but i ain't done. ▸ i paid my sins in blood but i ain't done.

Zara Larsson lyrics, Midnight Sun edition

▸ no nightmares when you can still see the light. ▸ road's empty so drive a little faster. ▸ ain't taken nothing tonight but i'm feeling so high. ▸ we ain't gotta tell no one. ▸ connected, i'm so in touch with it all, feel protected by the moon and the stars. ▸ it's been a while since i cried over something so nice. ▸ kiss me in the dark. ▸ don't we look beautiful underneath the stars? ▸ a little sweeter than i'm used to. ▸ you say they don't make 'em like me no more. maybe once in a blue moon. ▸ it's an endless honeymoon phase and the fire never goes out. ▸ have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? messy like this? losin' her shit? ▸ i might slit a tire, crash a benz. i might hook up with your friend, do that shit again. ▸ they tell me to be nice, i should know my place. sometimes a girl don't wanna be well-behaved. ▸ i wanna take it too far. ain't afraid tonight. ▸ i don't need no alibi. ▸ i can see you're terrified. still wanna fuck me. ▸ i know what i want isn't right but havin' a crush ain't a crime. ▸ i don't care 'cause temptation is getting to me. ▸ what happens when a girl's girl wants the boy? ▸ i just can't avoid the way i feel about you. if i had the choice you'd be all mine. ▸ though we ain't done nothin', that ain't the way in my head. ▸ talkin' to you gives me butterflies. ▸ then it hit me like reality. i can't lose [him] to a fantasy. ▸ it ain't heartbreak but it still hurts enough. ▸ that's why they call it a crush, it will never be love. ▸ got me wonderin' if it's destiny or am i just bein' messy? ▸ what's the need for destruction? ▸ this might get ugly, you will ruin my life. ▸ tell me, why do i crave your attention? ▸ tell me, how sexy am i? - very. ▸ you tell your friends i'm too fun, naked and never sober. ▸ nothing lasts forever. ▸ they ride for me, i ride for them. ▸ it could be november but we're still gonna give you summertime. ▸ get in the car, we're gonna be late. ▸ i just wanna wear what i want, get high, get out, get by, get drunk. ▸ tale as old as time, crime on womankind, scared to go outside. ▸ it still blows my mind how we just let it slide. ▸ i'm done feeling like a prey, watching my back every day. ▸ can i be a girl? can i just live? ▸ let a girl be hot and sexy. ▸ so, i was up late the other night, comparing myself to others' lives. ▸ that's the thing with the ambition. everything's a competition. ▸ i live and learn the hard way. it's a chronic heartbreak. ▸ raised on validation, consumed by aspiration. ▸ see, i've been doing this long enough to be scarred from what i've learned before. ▸ i try to push it away but at the end of the day, it's the world to me. ▸ made my decisions but that doesn't mean i have to live with them. ▸ my leaves are changing and roots grow deeper than i understand. ▸ the more i experience, the more mysterious it gets. better let if unfold 'cause i'm not young enough to know everything anymore. ▸ it feels so good to know i don't know what i'm doing. ▸ i love that i'm free in my naivety, i won't lose it. ▸ i tried to control all that was unknown 'cause i was scared. ▸ i thought i could grow out of uncertainty but instead i grew not to care. ▸ ain't the concept of time so crazy? we were just kids, now my friends are having babies. ▸ i don't want you to leave me alone. ▸ who's hangin' up first? 'cause it won't be me. ▸ nothing is ephemeral. ▸ you got me blushing and blushing. ▸ i just love talking to you too much.

Hayley Williams lyrics, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party edition updated: 29.08.2025

▸ i'm spinning circles and i can't deny floating on your love like a butterfly. ▸ no secrets, no games to play. ▸ it's alright, it's okay, i never felt this way. ▸ i got ice in my OJ, i'm a cold, hard bitch. ▸ a lot of dumb motherfuckers that i made rich. ▸ might go back to mississippi. careful that i don't take you with me. ▸ do you ever feel so alone that you could implode and no one would know? ▸ when you look around and nobody's home, don't you wanna go back to wherever we're from? ▸ on my way to [37] years, i do not know if i'll ever know what in the living fuck i'm doing here. ▸ does anyone know if this is normal? ▸ eldest daughters never miss their chances to learn the hardest lessons again and again. ▸ carrying my mother's mother's torment, i think i'm where the bloodline ends. ▸ i'll never do the right thing again. ▸ go ahead and kill me. can't get much stronger. ▸ find another soldier. ▸ save yourself or make room for us 'cause either way we live in your blood. ▸ i'm sorry that you're going through something hard. ▸ baby, take it easy when starting something new. ▸ listen how the heart beats, it always tells the truth. ▸ baby, take it easy when following a whim. ▸ i want to be in love, to believe in us sans sabotage. ▸ something in the stillness gets you to the truth. ▸ i know you took a beating, i know it's all a risk but listen how the heart beats lying next to [them]. ▸ i want to believe in love. i want to believe in us. ▸ who am i without you now? ▸ here comes my genie in a screw cap bottle. ▸ you let me dream. ▸ for when you're happy for a day, then wake up to remember that things will never be the same. ▸ feels like it's your fault it turned out that way. ▸ i had no choice but to surface and surrender. ▸ you could really have anyone and you had me. ▸ why'd you let go? ▸ you could really have anyone except for me, i suppose. ▸ now, love, you're not the only one who's lonely. ▸ my final act of love was surrender. ▸ won't you just surrender? ▸ there were no conditions to my love. it was endless 'til there was no you to hold. ▸ i save my very best for you. ▸ you said that i deserved someone who knows what i am worth. now i wonder, what am i worth to you? ▸ i know that you're probably telling yourself that no one's gonna love me like you did and i know that you're probably right about that but someone's gonna love me different. ▸ the pleasure and the agony's all mine. ▸ guess i'm the one who's gotta love me differently. ▸ brotherly love, brotherly hate, don't it sometimes feel like the same thing? ▸ however you bend, however you sway, furious roots just won't give way. ▸ please don't fall, please don't break. please stay strong for all of our sakes. ▸ you could make each other small, or make each other great if you think that you could give more than you could take. ▸ nick your hand, spit into it, shake hands. that's how you do it. ▸ blood oath, baby, took a vow unspoken. ▸ you could find out you're alone if you keep fucking around. ▸ you say that that's your [brother], you'll always come around, you'll always have each other. not if you never pick up where you let down. ▸ i'm sick of hearing myself talk. ▸ i just sit behind the wheel 'til the battery runs out. ▸ home is where we were loud. ▸ now it's just so quiet, i hate this gorgeous house. ▸ quiet mind's a loaded cannon, who's it aimed at now? ▸ i am Vasilisa, guide me through the night. ▸ nothing more will enter me but light. ▸ no, i won't hear it.

▸ no use shooting for the moon, no use chasing waterfalls. ▸ can only go up from here. ▸ heaven laughs cause they all tried to warn us. ▸ i'll be the biggest star at this fucking karaoke bar. ▸ the way you held my face, i swear i softened for the very first time in my life. ▸ nothing is a given. ▸ so hit me, i can't get soft cause i'm too hard and my ribs are metal cages to guard my heart. ▸ to get to you, i had to go through it. ▸ always ready for the piano to fall, always ready to be left out in the cold. ▸ no wound to lick cause the hurt is hidden. ▸ don't you miss when i used to smile? ▸ you and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel. ▸ twenty-something years ago we started playing a little game and now we're all gonna sit down and we're gonna finish it, and guess what? your turn. ▸ i can't heal, you keep ripping me open. ▸ you said we shouldn't even begin unless we know we're gonna make it. ▸ all our best memories were bought and then turned into apartments. ▸ the club with all the hardcore shows is now just a greyscale domino's. ▸ act like god ain't watching. ▸ kill the soul, turn a profit. ▸ i'm the one who still loves your ghost. ▸ they say that jesus is the way but then gave him a white face so they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them. ▸ i keep telling you the water's fine. ▸ so come out to the deeper side, we could be like team Zissou. ▸ i don't mind wasting my time. ▸ in my mind, you're always mine. ▸ they called it "monster soup" but the monsters are you and i. we don't have anything to lose. ▸ come here, give me your tongue. ▸ i know you know me now like the back of your hand but can i still get your heart reeling? ▸ i could say, 'i gotta leave but let's not let that come between us.' would it make you want me more? ▸ i wonder, do you miss when having me felt brand new? ▸ can you feel how your heart's beating? ▸ hate that you've already seen every bad side of me under fluorescent lights. ▸ whatever you do, whatever you say, by now you should know i'll love you the same. ▸ would you come back to get me if you had the chance again? ▸ would you want me to stop you if that'd take all i've got? ▸ now we're just blood brothers covered in paper cuts with a bond like no other. ▸ was it ever enough? ▸ whenever you want, whenever you need, i could move in closer or i can leave. ▸ if anything helps you or if anything hurts, i will love you forever if that won't make it worse. ▸ it might be a lost cause. who'd have thought there'd be so much left to lose? ▸ come hell or heaven, angels or devils, i won't move. ▸ i don't care what happens after. i won't quit on you. ▸ turns out home is not a place. when i think home, i see your face. ▸ phone home, baby, everything changed. ▸ yes, i saw her and her spiraled hair. ▸ i could see it, our life in a movie. ▸ now i'm spinning, my web up in the air. ▸ i thought you were gonna catch me. ▸ i never stopped falling for you. ▸ now i know better. never let me leave home without a parachute. ▸ you told me you waited for me, you said that you won. ▸ you were at my wedding. you could've told me not to do it, i would've run. ▸ i was broken, you were drunk. ▸ tell me what was the moment you decided to give up. ▸ you could've told me what you wanted, i would've done anything.

Bastille lyrics, “&” (Ampersand) edition

▸ i never wanted to be main character. ▸ maybe to me, other stories are more interesting. a mirror back on everything. ▸ so much bigger, bolder, braver than i'll ever be. ▸ take a walk with me through my mind but i'm an unreliable narrator. ▸ there ain't no god up above, just these hounds of love. ▸ all these fights just to live a life. ▸ listen, just listen, be humble. ▸ can you trust me? do you trust me? ▸ so the cliché says, "history repeats itself." well, here we go again. ▸ i've got this gut feeling that somehow only i will pay for it. ▸ we gave into temptation, shame came, we pulled on some clothes. ▸ i will always take the fall for us. ▸ i love you so but still it's hard to get my head around it. ▸ no one warned us what it feels like. ▸ you said "calm down" and rolled your eyes at pain you'll never comprehend. ▸ our paradise lost, i guess i'll bear the cost. ▸ just take the time to look again, you'll see. ▸ i was never lost, wasn't just hiding in that room. i had better things to do. ▸ i'd been filling up my time, making worlds up in my mind. ▸ do you always run away when it gets wild? ▸ is that a blue sky? it's about damn time. ▸ how the hell did i get so numb to desire? ▸ would i be who i am without the sadness in me? ▸ i missed you tonight at the party. ▸ never take me back again 'cause you know just what you'll get. ▸ what are you supposed to do when the world that you're changing just don't seem to like you? ▸ we can get so cruel when we don't understand. ▸ love deeper even if it kills you. ▸ have no fear when you got the answers. ▸ there'll be tears of joy and grief. however, your work lives on forever. ▸ you're tethered to the wonders that you found, to everything you found. ▸ when all's said and done, you honoured your home despite all the pain. ▸ fill me up with red wine and i'm yours. ▸ i thought i'd be yours like before. ▸ you could stay, make mistakes until the daylight. ▸ stay. nothing's real after midnight. ▸ you fuck me up but that's alright. ▸ it's pretty messed up, always hoping drunk mistakes we make play out. ▸ whisper me these promises we know we won't keep. ▸ seasons melt away. constant change, nothing feels real. ▸ is this real love i'm falling in? ▸ is this real love? i think it is. do you think it is? ▸ bad news and voices just ain't sinking in 'cause nothing around me seems to get me down. ▸ why did you pull the drawbridge up on me? ▸ we do stupid shit for love. ▸ we're a bunch of suckers for connection. ▸ i do stupid shit for love. like a sucker for attention. ▸ please, please don't freeze me out, no thawing in. ▸ if i'm dreaming, can i wake up? ▸ when caged birds get to sing, does anybody hear them when they do? ▸ sometimes when i'm awake at night, i think about it. the things that we lose too soon. ▸ we both made this bed. we can't fit the whole world into it. ▸ if it's gonna make you happy, then it's all we need. ▸ if it's gonna set us free, then it's all we need. ▸ if it's gonna hold us steady, then it's all we need. ▸ it's what i want 'cause i want you. i need you. ▸ still their faces come to haunt me. ▸ leave with me, babe. we could sack off this place any time. ▸ just make an excuse and we'll leave all these losers far behind us. ▸ say the word and i will go with you anywhere. ▸ you're the earth, the moon, the stars, the air in every breath. ▸ they locked you up in a holy place, i joined you anyway. let's burn it down in flames. ▸ let's be who we are and just love together with our one life. ▸ they can all try to catch up with our love in their own time. ▸ love dresses up in many ways. ▸ what if you could end your days doing the shit you love with the ones you love? ▸ how did you find grace under all that pressure? ▸ how did you do it? ▸ what have you seen? what happened to you? ▸ i wonder, what's your history?

▸ will you listen just as my form starts to fission? ▸ will you halt this eclipse in me? ▸ everything looks the same. ▸ you pray for sound and i pray for silence. ▸ you'll find me with half a mind to get violent. ▸ you know it isn't over 'til i say it's over. ▸ you know i live by the feather and die by the sword. ▸ how could i already lose my way like this? ▸ i used to know myself. oh, and you ... you used to know me well. ▸ i have a feeling we're close to the end. ▸ godspeed to my enemies who be askin' for that co-sign. ▸ i've got solar flares for your dead gods. ▸ tell me what you meant by 'living past your half-life.' ▸ you might be the one to take away the pain and let my mind go quiet. ▸ nothing else is quite the same as how i feel when i'm at your side. ▸ well, are you gonna dance on the line with me? ▸ i don't even know who i used to be. ▸ nothing is the same and some things have to change now. ▸ keep me alive, keep me believing that now is the time to take it or leave it. ▸ are you the guardian angel hacking into my brain cells? ▸ did i get this far for nothing or are you the reward? ▸ if this is love, then i am out of hesitation. ▸ say that the story we tell is never-ending. ▸ i just don't want to be lost again. ▸ when was the last time i felt like this? ▸ you've got me talking in my sleep as if you're conquering my dreams. ▸ i thought i could resist you but something in me just can't help but insist to blur the lines just one last time. ▸ when's the last time you tasted blood? ▸ it's getting harder even just to exhale. ▸ walk beside me 'til you feel nothing as well. ▸ if you don't think i mean it then i understand but i'm still glad you came. ▸ the sweetest dreams are bitter but there's no one left to tell. ▸ too young to get bitter over it all, too old to retaliate like before. ▸ i thought i got better but maybe i didn't. ▸ tell me, did i give you what you came for? ▸ i thought things had changed but everything's the same. ▸ turns out the gods we thought were dying were just sharpening their blades. ▸ have you been waiting long for me? ▸ what good is all this talk of wings when there is nothing left above? ▸ no matter how we feel, we've got a taste for one another and a few good years to kill. ▸ roll or die, you bet, i'm a rider. ▸ do i wanna go there? yes, i do. ▸ i wanna do more than just bend the rules. ▸ you're the only game that i like to lose. ▸ when you look at me like that, you got me falling right back. ▸ i can give you what you want. ▸ it feels like falling into the sea from outer space in seconds to me. ▸ when the river runs dry and the curtain is called, how will i know if i can't see the bottom? ▸ what if i can't get up and stand tall? ▸ nobody told me i'd be begging for relief. ▸ what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me. ▸ nobody told me i'd get tired of myself. ▸ it all looks like heaven but it feels like hell. ▸ i wanted you to know, i've learned to live without it. ▸ you were trying your best and that's the thing i tell the others. ▸ all along, it was you with the countdown kill switch and it was me with the blindfold on. ▸ i was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other. ▸ what might be good for your heart might not be good for my head. ▸ what was there at the start might not be there in the end. ▸ i don't wanna stick around, i just wanna let you know. ▸ no one's gonna save me from my memories. ▸ nothing to lose but i would've given anything. ▸ i still see you when the lights get low. i still hear you when i'm on my own. ▸ i've learned to live beside it and even though it's over now, i will always be reminded. ▸ i have fought so long to be here. i am never going back. ▸ i'm so tired inside, i could sleep through a landslide. ▸ i'm finally here and i'm not leaving this time.

Charli xcx lyrics, BRAT edition

▸ i went my own way and i made. ▸ no style? i can't relate. ▸ when you're in the mirror, do you like what you see? ▸ legacy is undebated. ▸ if you love it, if you hate it i don't fucking care what you think. ▸ put your hands up and dance. ▸ i don't wanna force a smile. ▸ i don't know if it's real or if i'm spiraling. ▸ i couldn't even be her if i tried. i'm opposite, i'm on the other side. ▸ i feel all these feelings i can't control. ▸ all this sympathy is just a knife. ▸ i'd say there was a god if they could stop this wild voice tearing me apart. ▸ i might say something stupid. ▸ i don't feel like nothing special. ▸ i don't know if i belong here anymore. ▸ we've been keeping this a secret and you're surrounded by friends and i'm just wandering what they know. ▸ are you thinking about me? i'm kind of thinking you are. ▸ i wish you'd just talk to me. ▸ hey, let's get out of here. shall we go back to my place? ▸ it's okay to just admit that you're jealous of me. ▸ i heard you talk about me. that's the word on the street. ▸ you're obsessing, just confess it. ▸ it's alright to just admit that i'm the fantasy. ▸ i know your little secret. ▸ fall in love again and again. ▸ everything is romantic. ▸ sometimes, i just wanna rewind. ▸ i hate these doubts that keep running through my mind. ▸ recently, i've been thinking about a way simpler time. ▸ why did i push you away? ▸ i was scared sometimes. you had a power like a lighting strike. ▸ you always said 'it's okay to cry.' ▸ i wish i'd tried to pull you closer. ▸ you pushed me hard, made me focus. ▸ now i really wish i'd stayed. ▸ guilty feelings keep me fractured. ▸ sometimes i think you might hate me. ▸ you're all about writing poems but i'm about throwing parties. ▸ i think we're totally different but opposites do attract. ▸ i guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. ▸ i've been looking at you so long now i only see me. ▸ it feels like you never understand me. ▸ i think the apple's rotten right to the core from all the things passed down from all the apples coming before. ▸ i wanna know where you go, when you're feeling alone. ▸ i don't wanna fall right back to us. maybe you should run right back to [her]. ▸ took a long time breaking muscle down, building muscle up. ▸ i don't wanna feel feelings. ▸ think you already know [her] but you don't. ▸ i think about it all the time, that i might run out of time. ▸ would it make me miss my freedom? ▸ would it give my life a new purpose? ▸ i'm so scared i'm missing out on something. ▸ who the fuck are you? ▸ meet me in the bathroom.

Mumford & Sons lyrics, Babel edition

▸ i know that time has numbered my days. ▸ i know my weakness, i know my voice. ▸ i believe in grace and choice. ▸ i should've known i was weaker from the start. ▸ you'll build your walls and i will play my bloody part to tear them down. ▸ i'm worried that i blew my only chance. ▸ i lost my head but found the one that i loved. ▸ let's live while we are young. ▸ these days of dust which we've known will blow away with this new sun. ▸ i'll kneel down, wait for now, know my ground. ▸ i will wait for you. ▸ well, you forgave and i won't forget. ▸ now i'll be bold as well as strong and use my head alongside my heart. ▸ i knew your pain and the effect of my shame but you cut me down. ▸ i will not tell the thoughts of hell that carried me home. ▸ so i hit my low but little did i know that would not be the end. ▸ i rose and i rose and i paid less time to [your] calloused mind and i wished [you] well. ▸ when i've hit the ground, neither lost nor found, if you believe in me, i'll still believe. ▸ you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart and you knelt beside my hope torn apart. ▸ the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view and we'll live a long life. ▸ i will hold as long as you like with all of my might. just promise me we'll be alright. ▸ there'll be no value in the strength of walls that i have grown but i'd be yours if you'd be mine. ▸ you may not trust the promises of the change i'll show but i'd be yours if you'd be mine. ▸ you built your tower but call me home and i will build a throne. ▸ i know i've tried. i was not stable, flawed by pride. ▸ i miss my sanguine eyes. ▸ well, love was kind for a time, now just aches and it makes me blind. ▸ do not ask the price i paid. i must live with my quiet rage. ▸ tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead. ▸ your strength just makes me feel less strong. ▸ i'll walk slow. take my hand, help me on my way. ▸ that's not what i came here for. ▸ so watch the world tear us apart. a stoic mind and a bleeding heart. ▸ your light's always shining on. ▸ i will remember the words that you said. ▸ you left a clouded mind and a heavy heart but i was sure we could see a new start. ▸ when your hope's on fire but you know your desire, don't hold a glass over the flame. ▸ don't let your heart grow cold. ▸ hold me fast 'cause i'm a hopeless wanderer. ▸ i wrestled long with my youth. ▸ we tried so hard to live in the truth. ▸ i will learn to love the skies i'm under. ▸ i'll never be your chosen one. i'll be home, safe and tucked away. ▸ better not to breathe than to breathe a lie. ▸ the mirror shows not your values are all shot. ▸ my heart was flawed, i knew my weakness. ▸ hold my hand, consign me not to darkness. ▸ in this twilight, our choices seal our fate. ▸ for all my sweat, my blood runs weak. ▸ let me learn from where i have been. ▸ keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn. ▸ this ain't no sham. i am what i am. ▸ i have no strength from which to speak when you sit me down and see i'm weak. ▸ they'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free and we will be who we are and they'll heal our scars. sadness will be far away. ▸ i leave no ties for a cynic's mind. ▸ i will love with urgency but not with haste. ▸ is that healing that you're hearing in my tune? ▸ my mind is just like yours, just as broken, just as crippled, just as burned. ▸ i have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles. ▸ such are promises, all lies and jests. ▸ still, the man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest. ▸ there were times when i was so lonesome i took some comfort there. ▸ i was desperate, i was weak. i could not put up a fight. ▸ where are you now? ▸ do you ever think of me, in the quiet, in the crowd? ▸ you said, no one would ever know the love that we had shared. ▸ it was clear you didn't care. ▸ i know that's what you love 'cause you know i love the same.

Mumford & Sons lyrics, Sigh No More edition

▸ this is not the end. ▸ we are friends and i'm sorry. ▸ my heart was never pure. you know me. ▸ man is a giddy thing. ▸ love, it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you. it will set you free. ▸ be more like the [man] you were made to be. ▸ there is a cry of my heart to see the beauty of love as it was made to be. ▸ it's empty in the valley of your heart. ▸ i have seen the same. i know the shame in your defeat. ▸ i will hold on hope. ▸ i won't let you choke on the noose around your neck. ▸ i'll find strength in pain and i will change my ways. ▸ you take what is yours and i'll take mine. ▸ now let me at the truth which will refresh my broken mind. ▸ i know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears. ▸ i will not hear what you have to say 'cause i need freedom now. ▸ i need to know how to live my life as it's meant to be. ▸ the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms. ▸ was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night? ▸ for every kiss, your beauty trumped my doubt. ▸ my head told my heart 'let love grow' but my heart told my head 'this time, no.' ▸ let the memories be good for those who stay. ▸ the shame that sent me off from the god that i once loved was the same that sent me into your arms. ▸ no hope will overcome. ▸ remember spring swaps snow for leaves. you'll be happy and wholesome again when the city clears and sun ascends. ▸ don't leave me alone at this time for i am afraid of what i will discover inside. ▸ see, you told me that i would find a hole within the fragile substance of my soul and i have filled this void with things unreal ... and all the while my character it steals. ▸ it seems that all my bridges have been burned. ▸ it's not the long walk home that will change this heart but the welcome i receive with the restart. ▸ you ... you've gone too far this time. you have neither reason nor rhyme. ▸ but tell me now, where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart? ▸ you desired my attention but denied my affections. ▸ lead me to the truth and i will follow you with my whole life. ▸ how can you say that your truth is better than ours? ▸ if only i had an enemy bigger than my apathy i could have won. ▸ i gave you all and you rip it from my hands and you swear it's all gone. ▸ you rip out all i have just to say you've won. well, now you've won.

▸ weep for yourself, you'll never be what is in your heart. ▸ you're not as brave as you were at the start. rate yourself and rake yourself, take all the courage you have left. ▸ it was not your fault but mine and it was your heart on the line. ▸ i really fucked it up this time, didn't i, my dear? ▸ your grace is wasted in your face. your boldness stands alone among the wreck. ▸ now learn from your [mother] or else spend your days biting your own neck. ▸ death is at your doorstep and it will steal your innocence but it will not steal your substance. ▸ you are not alone in this. we will stand and we'll hold your hand. ▸ i will tell the night and whisper 'lose your sight' but i can't move mountains for you. ▸ spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams 'cause recently mine have been tearing my seams. ▸ it's getting dark, darling, too dark to see. ▸ i'm on my knees, and your faith is in shreds, it seems. ▸ plant your hope with good seeds. don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds. ▸ i struggle to find any truth in your lies. ▸ now my heart stumbles on things i don't know. ▸ my weakness, i feel, i must finally show. ▸ lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all. but lend me your heart and i'll just let you fall. ▸ lend me your eyes, i can change what you see. but your soul you must keep, totally free. ▸ in these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die. ▸ where you invest your love, you invest your life. ▸ i have no idea where else my heart could have been. ▸ i placed all my trust at the foot of this hill and now i am sure my heart could never be still. ▸ collect your courage and pray you never feel this same kind of remorse. ▸ seal my heart and break my pride. ▸ i've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide. ▸ align my heart, my body, my mind to face what i've done and do my time. ▸ your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace. ▸ how can you love what it is you have got when you took it all from the weak hands of the poor? ▸ there will come a time i will look in your eye. you will pray to the god that you've always denied. ▸ you haven't met me, i am the only [son]. ▸ i know what i've done 'cause i know what i've seen. ▸ there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears and love will not break your heart but dismiss your fears. ▸ get over your hill and see what you find there, with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair. ▸ now i cling to what i knew. i saw exactly what was true. ▸ well, i guess i'll just go home or god knows where. ▸ death is just so full and man so small. ▸ i'm scared of what's behind and what's before. ▸ i ... i can't promise you that i won't let you down. ▸ i ran away, i could not take the burden of both me and you. ▸ it was too fast, casting love on me as if it were a spell i could not break when it was a promise i could not make. ▸ what if i was wrong? ▸ hold on to what you believe. ▸ i'm not whole when you're not near.
