general/misc. ( 304 lyrics )
tw: religion, blood, drowning, drinking
if we’re diving in the deep end ; i need to share all of my demons
not a care in the world ; just me and my girl
hold back the river ; let me look in your eyes
i don't need you to sell me on reasons to want you
you don't have to be scared you're not enough
i don't need you to fix what i'd rather forget
i give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go
we can just watch the whole world disappear
but call me home and i will build a throne
‘til the sun don’t shine ; you will still be mine
it's not a new wave ; it's just you and me
you make me feel like i am home again
the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up
if you stay just a little that's enough
lay your head to rest and give yourself some peace
couldn't look you in the eye ; you’re just like an angel
i've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
i love you like you've never felt the pain
can we stay here and laugh away the fear
i'm waiting to live ; and waiting to love
i want the secrets your secrets haven't found
call me the one ; this night just can't end
lean for me and i'll fall back
when everyone else looks like a wrong answer ; she'll settle for being my best guess
follow my words to the end of our love
come and see me in the morning ; i'll be in the sunrise
it's human and it's tough ; it is love but it won't be enough
oh holy lover ; i'll be the colors i can't see
we’re looking for a miracle ; no we don’t mind waiting
they said that we’d never make it ; but maybe we already did
i think i could need this in my life
there's never much to read between the lines of what we need and what we'll take
you wrap your arms around my heart just like you always do
she held my gaze and i held my breath with all my mind
i found god ; i found him in a lover
i found the devil ; i found him in a lover
i've got a lover ; a love like religion
i've got a lover and i'm unforgiven
i'm such a fool to pay this price
he's off to pay his crimes and he's got no time for mine
oh baby girl you know we're gonna be legends
i'm the king and you're the queen and we will stumble through heaven
if there's a light at the end ; it's just the sun in your eyes
you know the two of us are just young gods
because you're mine ; i walk the line
you give me cause for love that i can't hide
i'll always keep you inside ; you healed my heart and my life
come on skinny love just last the year
you hit me head on ; got me weak in my knees
it's like a million little stars spelling out your name
your sweet disposition and my wide eyed gaze
a million lines for a billion hearts
the only heaven i'll be sent to ; is when i'm alone with you
no grave can hold my body down ; i'll crawl home to her
don't make a sound because i'll be with you the whole way down
and i know it's quite soon but you've got a lovely heart
i hope that you feel it too and a flame follows these sparks
spend the night looking into your eyes because i want to remember them if i ever fall blind
step out into the wild ; there's a beautiful storm in your eyes
but i bought you flowers ; so never let them die
but with your presence and your grace ; everything falls into place
you took my sorrow and you took my pain and buried them away
if i could find my heart inside this empty frozen chest ; then you would find that i'd give you all of it
you cause a thunder in my veins when you're around
so hold my hand before my heart erupts
i think we'd make a lovely mess
i may not be everything you want ; but i can give you all i have
could you be seen with me and still act proud ?
could you carry me through no man's land ?
but i would fight for you ; if you would fight for me
you can set my broken bones and i know cpr
you are the only thing that's right about this broken world
i was meant to be yours ; we were meant to be one
you built me palaces out of paragraphs ; you built cathedrals
why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay ?
why don't you be the writer ? and decide the words I say ?
how long will i love you ? as long as stars are above you
look at the stars ; look how they shine for you
your skin and bones ; turn into something beautiful
science and progress do not speak as loud as my heart
tell me you love me ; come back and haunt me
now i'm running late and i'm not a coffee drinke ; but i lost sleep just thinking of you
a pair of frozen hands to hold
god only knows but you'll never leave her
if you're searching for us ; you'll find us side by side
ihe says i smell like safety and home
i could be a morning sunrise all the time
can you feel the beat of my heartbeat beat through me ?
there's something so rare in your veins ; not a single thing i would change
they said we'd never make it but our hearts won't quit
there's no way that our hearts will be breaking cause all we have is love
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs
you lift my heart up when the rest of me is down
set my midnight sorrow free ; i will give you all of me
i don’t always adore it but i know what it means to feel love
don't keep your secrets in a prayer
i would break the laws of gravity ; kill it for you in the first degree
light of my life darling ; we are immune
if i am the waves ; then you must be the moon
come and raise my love in
here in the dark i feel my heart
there are wires in between human heart and machine
everything I love was made of porcelain
you wrote your name in invisible ink
in some things you just can't help from falling
when you break it's too late for you to fall apart
take me away make it all better ; if not for a day then maybe forever
try describing a love you can't design
i want you as the dream ; not the reality
i want you to be a story for me that i can believe in forever
sweet love ; how long before you hurt for me ?
i see your face in blurry shades and i reach out for your hand
all your ways i can't explain but i want to understand
i met someone by accident ; it blew me away
i can fake my heart and i love to watch it burn
does she know that we bleed the same ?
it's a love that will keep me holding on
be my shelter from the storm
at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
i will love you 'til the end of time
heaven is a place on earth with you
your face is like a melody ; it won't leave my head
numb to the winter cold but we don't mind ; 'cause we'll get warm inside
i wake up alone with only daylight between us
still got sand in my sweaters from nights we don't remember
just know you cannot save me
you touch me and suddenly there's rainbow rings
suddenly i'm caught up in your summer rain
hail soft storms of loving me ; let them play on my desires
you're not trusting your heart to anyone
try a little tenderness
find a way to finally make it right ; to make the magic last for more than just one night
take the best and make it better ; find a way to stay together
temperatures rising ; i don't want to feel
please let me love you with all my might
the love game has been played
and love will not break your heart ; but dismiss your fears
i'm a mess but i'm blessed to be stuck with you
if i may just take your breath away
i just want to see the stars with you
too long till i drown in your hands
my youth is yours ; run away now and forevermore
we've been making shades of purple out of red and blue
sickeningly sweet like honey
you're a red string tied to my finger
you're my favorite song ; always on the tip of my tongue
you own me with whispers like poetry ; your mouth is a melody i memorize
forget me not my dear ; my darling
let's write a song for us and sing until we're old and grey
like my heart longs for an ocean ; to wash down over me
the outcast dreams of acceptance ; just to find pure love's embrace
i remember the promises in the name of love
i'll kiss you again between the bars
i can plainly see you have a lover that's waiting
i swear your heart is a free bird
so hard to hold back when i'm holding you in my arms
just a touch of the fire burning so bright
you're a poem of mystery
you're the prayer inside me
spoken words like moonlight ; you're the voice that i like
love is waiting for better days
tonight we're the sea and the salty breeze
moon in a tidal lock ; and i was born to love you
there is music in the sea ; and we swim into the sound
love is made for broken things
trying to keep ourselves alone and out of sight
love was made to forget
the crown of love is falling from me
let the wave and your ocean fall on my shore
i want to be the place that you land
but when i'm with you ; you make the rain fall
when I'm with you ; i feel the sun
hold me close ; like i’m the sun to your moon
come around to another time when you don't have to run
it's your love affair ; on a quiet sunday afternoon
even the best fall down sometimes
you finally find that you and i collide
the days got colder ; so i held you closer
stayed around to kindle the fire
won't ever leave you ; ‘til the day that you die
i know love is never lost
worry never knows
feel my chest when i look at you
do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand ?
it's not the storm before the calm
this is the deep and dying breath of this love that we've been working on
can't seem to hold you like i want to ; so i can feel you in my arms
we are hiding in a safer place
your warmth is crashing down on in
it's never gonna be that simple
i swear you hit me like a vision
this is how it starts ; lightning strikes the heart
we could be the stars ; falling from the sky
from nervous touch and getting drunk
we can't leave us behind anymore
love me now or love me later
there's depth where there's distance too
i'm a fool for you ; and the things you do
you told me i was like the dead sea ; you'll never sink when you are with me
honey can't you see ? i was born to be your dead sea
i belong with you ; you belong with me ; you're my sweetheart
if we don't leave this town ; we might never make it out
and when you ask do you love me ; i should reply with yes most certainly
come close ; lay next to me
won't you settle down with me ?
hear her come ; my heart's only drummer
your love is like a soldier ; loyal till you die
show me your broken heart to know your flaws
i know what we are ; our love's too young
my foolish heart turns at the stars
a love that never ends
your heart is upside down
you are my fairytale ; don't you wanna stay ?
you are my fairytale ; i hope that you don't run away
for the fire and the sleepless nights
i can hold the weight of worlds if that's what you need
found you in the sea of lovers without ships
wherever you go ; bring me home
how can i love when i'm afraid to fall ?
i have loved you for a thousand years
baby if you hold me ; then all of this will go away
i loved you then and i love you now
god knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
if you're homesick ; give me your hand and i'll hold it
we lie beneath the stars at night ; our hands gripping each other tight
you keep my secrets hope to die
promises ; swear them to the sky
just turn to my embrace ; i won't let you come to nothing
can you hear when i say i have never felt this way ?
can i make it better with the lights turned on ?
i'll cross oceans like never before so you can feel the way i feel it too
and i'll send images back at you so you can see the way i feel it too
when my heart is made from gold and forgiveness seems too bold
i still find it in my heart to say " i love you "
you don’t have to act like you're alone
you’re finding ways to break the bonds ; they’re stronger than you realize
there's an angel ; and he's shaped like you
fallen so far ; said you'd watch over my heart
held me so close i could hardly breathe
if your heart was full of love could you give it up ?
looking from a window above ; it's like a story of love
it's been so long since i touched a wanting hand
i can't put my love on the line that ; i hope you'll understand
i'm tired of getting caught up in those one night affairs
what i need is somebody who will always be there
if you're looking for devotion ; talk to me
come with your heart in your hands because my love is guaranteed
through a crowded room ; look at me like you know me
ain't it funny how a second lasts forever when we're together ?
i might get enough one day but i won't let this feeling fade away
i know it won't stop if we turn the love up
i'll make you stay ; don't let this feeling fade away
i'm gonna take you outta the darkness
i wanna walk with you in the light and hold your head high
you’re the only thing i know ; but it feels so far away
long gone and fallen down ; but i'm loving how it tastes
i could've chosen anybody ; but i chose you
daddy don't like you ; but daddy and i never speak
smells like roses to me ; two young lovers at sea
it's like my lungs are opening for the first time
you got through my guard when i was in safety mode
you're burning down my walls like the miami sun
it finally feels like i'm coming home
i met you in the dark ; you lit me up
you made me feel as though i was enough
darling ; your love is more than worth its weight in gold
i wanna live with you ; even when we're ghosts
you walked into the room and now my heart's been stolen
you took me back in time to when i was unbroken ; now you're all i want
i swear that every word you sing ; you wrote them for me
when the lights come on and i'm on my own ; will you be there to sing it again ?
you could tell me everything and then we could forget it
we're only skin and bone ; we don't have to be alone
sink or swim ; what will it be ?
we all got skeletons ; set them free
so tell me everything ; take a trip to the moon
let me love the lonely out of you
let me love the pain you're going through
we can light a fire to warm our bones
this world is much too cold to sleep alone
i never knew your name ; you never knew mine either
never leave me broken hearted ; baby i’m not strong enough
empty glances and no romance
if " i love you " was a promise would you break it ?
the only love i haven't screwed up
can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
i'm scared i've never fallen from quite this high
i wanna steal your soul and hide you in my treasure chest
i don't know what feels true ; but this feels right so stay a sec
you're all i wanted ; just let me hold you like a hostage
cross my heart and hope to die ; i’ll see you with your laughter lines
memories are mapped out by the lines we'll trace
but this is your heart ; can you feel it ?
drawing voices deep from you ; led by your beating heart
a wonderful part of the mess that we made ; we pick ourselves undone
but you had me at ‘ goodbye ’
i loved you ; what am i supposed to do ?
i look for ways to say i love you ; but i ain’t into making love songs
used to shine so bright but i watched all of it fade
been wondering if your hearts still open and if so i wanna know what time it shuts
we found love in a hopeless place
maybe in time you’ll be mine
two blue hearts locked in our wrong minds
contradictions/paradoxes. ( 25 lyrics )
and side by side ; we're different but somehow the same
i love your brain but i hate your guts
you've been burning bridges while i've been building homes
he said he didn't do commitment ; with tattoos on his skin
you hold me without touch ; you keep me without chains
and you sound like thunder ; though you've barely spoken
no right minds could wrong be this many times
you kept all the things i threw away
i was full of doubt and you believed
this time i'm gonna slow it down 'cause i think this could be more
you've got eyes that can tear me down ; but all they do is build me up
you're the light ; you're the night
you're the cure ; you're the pain
it's not that easy with you here but i know i want you to stay
see you distract me but i'm distracted without you
can we just say the rest with no sound
you enchant me even when you're not around
you swear to god but i'm a non-believer
you're losing faith while i've been holding on
when everything we used to say was wrong is now alright
we are bound to each other's hearts ; cold and pulled apart
i've missed you but i haven't met you
but i'm open ; you're closed
even the wrong words seem to rhyme
i don't gamble ; but if i did i would bet on us
slow burn/friends to lovers. ( 47 lyrics )
all i want is to flip a switch ; before something breaks that cannot be fixed
i could offer you a warm embrace ; to make you feel my love
i could hold you for a million years ; to make you feel my love
what if I lose my heart and fail the climb ?
barely even friends ; then somebody bends unexpectedly
so don't you tell me that you're falling for me now
teach me to be somebody new
you told me all your darkest fears and i fell apart
why did you have to let me let you in ?
what if we ruin it all and we love like fools ?
i'm fighting not to feel but nothing works
i can see all the things that imply ; you secretly are in love
paint me in trust ; i'll be your best friend
you love the chase but hate me for the runaround
open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
i could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes
come out of hiding ; i'm right here beside you
you do not see what i see inside; the quiet heart you're trying to hide
i'll be damned if i do it ; damned if i don't
i'll be lost if i love him ; lost if i won't
all we do is think about the feelings that we hide
sick and full of pride ; all we do is drive
the more that i know you ; the more I want to
oh feel our bodies grow and our souls they blend
they say a problem shared is a problem cut in two
i can't figure you out ; you've got more fight in you than anybody else
i let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty ; and with every touch you fixed them
trust in me ; don't pull away
can't keep this beating heart at bay
we hide our emotions under the surface and try to pretend
with words unspoken ; a silent devotion
friends can break your heart too
longing to love you for one night
take my hand ; you're treading water
darling so it goes ; some things are meant to be
though you will not wait for me ; i'll wait for you
we've been lonely too long
i’ll shoulder the load ; and i’ll swallow the shame
looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend
you're raveled up ; you take some time to come undone
i never wanna fall apart ; never wanna break your heart
tired of holding this inside my head
here in silence ; it's just you and me
the vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold
i will always be listening for your laughter and your tears
you have to trust in someone
it takes awhile to settle down
reliant/dependent. ( 43 lyrics )
tw: drowning, anxiety, codependency
you are the piece of me i wish i didn’t need
take what you like but close my ears and eyes
we'll learn how to be to be incomplete
said you'd always be my white blood ; circulate the right love
watch how a cold broken teen will desperately lean on a super glued human of proof
i never wanted anything so much ; than to drown in your love
i got issues and one of them is how bad i need you
every second here without you ; feels like the division of the heart
wherever i've been ; i'll come running back to you
take my weak heart and tie it to yours
i promised myself i wouldn't let you complete me
before i met you i never felt good enough
you are the one who'd make me lose it all
long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
counting my footsteps ; praying the floor won’t fall through again
i forget about you long enough ; to forget why i needed you
love i have wounds ; only you can mend
and I'd rather choke than to breathe in your absence
'cause i am living for your touch but i would die to be your man
only you can set my heart on fire
it's not warm when she's away
i will run to you to you till ; i can't stand on my own anymore
if your heart wears thin i will hold you up
waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold
there's nothing i can do i'm helpless without you
you're always there to hold me up when i'm losing my mind
we're no good without each other ; take the best and make it better
when you're gone ; all the colours fade
anxious love gets so obsessed
i'm tangled up in you
show me how to fight for now
i'm desperate for your adoration
this love is tainted ; i need you and i hate it
remain next to me ; i need to feel important
certain it's your love that holds me together
i want you by my side so that i never feel alone again
keep the bad things out of my mind
i still want to drown whenever you leave
please teach me gently on how to breathe
all you crave is attention ; you need to be loved
help me get better ; you pull me right out of the blue
every night when i wake up i need you to get back to sleep
i think i've saved myself by saving you
ex/heartbreak. ( 217 lyrics )
tw: drugs, scars, suffocation
it was funny that she would have to stay and i would go
but when you love someone sometimes you've gotta let them go
don’t you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
it might never be the right time and that's the hardest part of it
i keep you in my mind even though you've gone
holding on to nothing's easier than letting go
stuck in the memory of what has been
just please don't love another like you loved me
time doesn't heal ; it just leaves me asking why
fall in love in a single touch ; and fall apart when it hurts too much
i lit a fire with the love you left behind
i don't want us to break up in the cloud
i'm trying not to think about you ; can't you just let me be ?
should've known you'd bring me heartache ; almost lovers always do
i thought i broke the last of that breakdown
i'm in california dreaming about who we used to be
you and i have history ; or don't you remember ?
i braved a hundred storms to leave you
you left with no goodbye ; not a single word was said
not a single word was said ; no final kiss to seal any sins
don't you remember the reason you loved me before ?
i wished you the best of all this world could give
tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery
i'm jealous of the way you're happy without me
i heard it in your voice when your love died
is losing me such a big relief ?
let's start at the end ; becoming strangers once again
i think i lost myself the day you left
but how can it all change so fast ; from everything to nothing just like that ?
i watched our bodies turn to ghosts
if only i could lose my mind ; then maybe i would find a way out
i don't know how emptiness can be this heavy
what if i said i would break your heart ?
as i break your heart and sever mine
i'm holding on ; but my body's caving in
i'll still feel you here ; 'til the moment i'm gone
leave unsaid unspoken ; eyes wide shut unopened
hang my head ; break my heart built from all i have torn apart
i'm just a basket case without you
i don't miss your cocaine i got blood and honey
i hope to burn away the sight of you
i'm awakened and my heart's bled
i can't sleep without the lights on ; it's like i'm broken when you're gone
if you're gone ; maybe it's time to come home
love is a buried nail inside of this heart of stone
i can't muster up the courage to say it's best that i leave
my human heart won't mend itself ; when my own two hands are ripping out the seams
you touched me and suddenly i was a lilac sky ; you decided purple just wasn't for you
tell me it's over i'll still love you the same
tell me it's over ; i don't want you to hurt
what didn't kill me ; it never made me stronger at all
and i don't get waves of missing you anymore ; they're more like tsunami tides
it's been a while but i still feel the same ; maybe i should let you go
something's gone terribly wrong you're all i wanted
i feel you forget me like i used to feel you breathe
six months gone and i'm still reaching even though i know you're not there
when time stood still and i had you
i've been waiting for you ; ever since you've been gone
i know it's long gone ; and that magic's not here no more
you taught me about your past thinking your future was me
maybe we got lost in translation ; maybe i asked for too much
maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
you call me up again just to break me like a promise
so casually cruel in the name of being honest
back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
and right before your eyes i'm breaking
you wear your best apology ; but i was there to watch you leave
this is the last time i say it's been you all along
this is the last time ; i won't hurt you anymore
don't wanna miss you like this
cause i just railed down enough lines tonight to spell your first and last name
it's all because i dreamt of you and woke up alone
a fool to let you slip away
same old empty feeling in your heart ; love comes slow and it goes so fast
i wanna cry and i wanna love ; but all my tears have been used up
i thought that i'd been hurt before ; but no one's ever left me quite this sore
our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy
it's such a shame that we can't renew all those feelings that we shared
maybe we’re better off alone
when you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts
heavy words are hard to take ; under pressure precious things can break
fools rush in and i've been the fool before
you made me high then you swooped so low
i was on your side but then i saw it change
his feelings are crushed like rock salt on the table
i wouldn't change any part of me ; just to make you stay
when you leave ; i'm begging you not to go
looking for some proof that there's a heart inside of me
you stole the matches from my book ; put out the fire in my eyes
but your love's too good to lose
i hate to think about you with somebody else
our love has gone cold
maybe i've been putting my heart out in the wrong way
we're not who we used to be
i hold on ; it's getting harder to breathe
sometimes the one you want is not the one you need
spare you the rising storms and let the rivers flow
you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
no words can explain the way i'm missing you
this house no longer feels like home
sweet love my oldest friend ; have we come to the bitter end ?
too many years of battle scars and now we're broken
the higher we rise ; the further we fall
when my breath runs cold ; i'll be thinking about you
we've become echoes ; but echoes that fade away
it's only been a lifetime ; but tonight you're a stranger or some silhouette
oh the good time we almost never had
emptied out my inside ; poured it on the ground
so cut me baby ; deep enough so that the scar will stay
i will never erase your name from my heart
where hope is left so incomplete
sever the ties ; cut me out
i lay in tears in bed all night ; alone without you by my side
you hesitate ; so my memory fades
it feels like there's oceans between me and you once again
i sedate my mind with hope of your return
throw me in a landfill ; don't think about the consequences
leave me at the altar ; knowing all the things you just escaped
leave me in the cold ; wait until the snow covers me up
from the perfect start to the finish line
my eyes are damp from the words you left
so why do you fill my sorrow with the words you've borrowed
and why do you sing hallelujah ; if it means nothing to you
i don't wanna waste the weekend ; if you don't love me pretend
to show all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you
i've got this ache inside my heart ; i know that it's you
i’ll drown in my tear storming sea
it’s such a shame ; to let you walk away
the end comes too soon ; like dreaming of angels
your memory near ; laced with the pain
i always knew you'd be the one to break me down
they say you don't know what you got 'til it's too late ; i'm already gone
feeling used ; but i'm still missing you
untouchable memories seemed to keep haunting me
closed off from love ; i didn't need the pain
my heart's crippled by the vein that i keep on closing
my heart stumbles on things i don't know ; my weakness i feel i must finally show
how could you love me and leave me and never say goodbye ?
i never thought we'd end up here in separate cages
i smell heartbreak on my hands
trying to replace the love that i fake with what we both need
there's a heart stain on the carpet i left it with you
there are flowers growing on the grave of our old love
just burn it all down and bring the ashes to me
we can never seem to find the time we lost
now i'm denied by the ghost of you
a photograph lost here ; since you were mine
such a victim of her romance
we were young stubborn & in love with disaster
i don't wanna lose you now
now we're slipping at the edge ; holding something we don't need
all this delusion in our heads is gonna bring us to our knees
trying to fit your hand inside of mine when we know it just don't belong
there's no force on earth that could make it feel right
let the ashes fall ; forget about me
we grow apart ; i watch you on the red horizon
this fragile heart ; so heavy in my chest ; it's breaking
i can't make the truth of this work out for you or me
little ghost ; you're not welcome here anymore
what i've learned is love's a lesson
i will blame myself for holding on to what i hoped would keep you by my side
the sheets are stained with ; memories of your soft kiss
what if we became strangers ?
there's another dawning ; a tremor where we stood
are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you ?
can we pretend that everything is like yesterday ?
let's pretend we never met ; a good excuse to play forget
when i’m looking for love i pretend it's you
you're gone and i gotta stay high all the time ; to keep you off my mind
oh why can i not conquer love ?
you did not break me ; i'm still fighting for peace
spend my time trying to read our past
it was easy for you to let go ; but i'm still in love with you
let the time fly by like the wind and open our hearts again
broken lover yes i made you believe that i would be the one to heal you
you wish i would've treated you like you treated me
don't you know i'm not your ghost anymore ?
you lost the love i loved the most
i learned to live half alive ; and now you want me one more time
collecting your jar of hearts and tearing love apart
you don't get to get me back
envision the meaning of a tragedy ; you might be surprised to hear it's you and me
your words in my head ; knives in my heart
you build me up and then i fall apart 'cause i'm only human
your face is ashen and i'm barely listening
i am a visitor here ; i am not permanent
maybe i had said something that was wrong
fall back in love eventually
the bigger you get the harder you fall
you disappeared and that's all that's missing
your love was so real and too late to forget how you made me feel
you were mine but you've grown so cold
held me in the dark ; sheltered as you took my heart
i know you could see i was lost in you
so take my heart ; it's all that's left
sometimes the tears we cry are more than any heart can take
heartbreaks and promises ; i've had more than my share
i'm tired of giving my love ; and getting nowhere
we're falling down ; and i show you how it breaks
i could read you a scripture of tears
you have gone and so effortlessly
there was a time when our love ; it was so sweet
i’m falling into darkness and it’s you i need to see
now i’m a ghost ; i call your name ; you look right through me
i've been trying to fix my pride but that shit's broken
feels like my loneliness is only blessed from you
i don’t know how to be something you miss
fall apart twice a day ; i just wish you could feel what you say
we've made every mistake ; only you know the way that i break
says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
he left her lonely with a diamond mind
another story of girl meets boy and gets destroyed
he's okay ; she's broken ; he's the ocean wave ; she's choking
the things we lost in the fire
our fingers traced in circles round its history
will i always have a cut that won’t heal
oh honey ; do you want me now ?
betrayal/cheating/disappointment. ( 76 lyrics )
there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
i don't need more reminders of all that's been broken
lay down with me ; tell me no lies
find it harder to forgive; every time you let us slip down your list of priorities
forgive me ; i'm just so fucked up in the head
little do you know i'm still haunted by the memories
i'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight
i'm queen of attention to detail ; defending intentions if he fails
i never meant to be the one to let you down
just say you're sorry ; no more no less
i want the one word that you refuse to say to me
i know that i failed you
then take my love and run it to the stars 'cause i'm falling apart
the right words come out all wrong
it'll all be forgiven ; you can't ask for more
i'm hoping you could save me now but you break and fold
call me a sinner ; call me a saint
cut out all the ropes and let me fall
please be kind to my mistakes
when you take ; you take the very best of me
don't put your eyes down ; you're not to blame
tell me pretty lies ; look me in the face
your words cut deeper than a knife
another's hands have touched my skin ; i won't tell him where i've been
she never asked me once about the wrong i did
and every thought of her makes my regret grow worse
when you’re in her i know i’m in your head
soon it will all be over and buried with our past
just a second we're not broken just bent ; and we can learn to love again
i'll stay if i'm what you choose
i am damaged far too damaged ; but you're not beyond repair
you forfeit all rights to my heart
take me in and throw out my heart and get a new one
you're intertwining your soul with somebody else
and i know this isn't enough ; i still don't measure up
you caused my heart to bleed and you still owe me a reason
a wind in the shadow ; a whale song in the deep
i can't say your name without feeling like i’m part of the blame
tell me you've never loved me ; tell me that it wasn't real
there's blood on your lies
the blame that you claim is all your own fault
you give me no reason to doubt your word ; but i still somehow still have my reasons
still i sleep in the very sheets he's been in
secrets i have held in my heart are harder to hide than i thought
you’re too proud to say that you’ve made a mistake
i am a hit and run ; don’t call me something i’m not
wish you were sorry for the things you've done
when love and trust are gone
i struggle to find any truth in your lies
the truth runs wild ; like a tear down a cheek
all my time is wasted ; feeling like my heart's mistaken
wish you were the one that got away
perhaps you can not forgive me
the promises you'll only make
maybe we don't deserve love
right from wrong is not quite seen
i've had enough of giving up on you
if your heart was somehow tainted ; how you could still sleep in my bed ?
you were wrong for trusting me
you can hide behind your stories ; but don't take me for a fool
forgive and forget you a thousand times
behind the tears ; inside the lies
tell me that all we had were lies
sometimes this love will end and all will be forgotten
i’ve let you down ; left you behind
you say that it's alright and i know that it’s a lie
pretend ; tell me all your love lies again
cast your shadows ; like how you said you'd catch me but let me go
beautiful lies ; cover my eyes with your hands
falling out of love is hard ; falling for betrayal is worse
broken trust and broken hearts ; i know
it ain't the lie ; it's the way that the truth is denied
i know it’s all wrong ; but i just don’t feel strong
everything is shattering and it’s my mistake
another promise broken in two ; the lucky few of fiction
when loneliness came and you were away
sexual/lust/nsfw. ( 25 lyrics )
tw: nsfw, drugs, scars
i can't take my eyes off you
she held my heart with her tongue
your lips hang heavy underneath me
there's a light in the crack that's separating your thighs
i can read your mind even from behind
biting in the dark i might break your heart
i can get you high if you wanna climb
your heart's against my chest ; your lips pressed to my neck
i was made to keep your body warm
i'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands
i only wanna do bad things to you
scars on my body so i can take you wherever
so warm is your touch upon my skin
if we're gonna do anything we might as well just fuck
tastes so sweet ; looks so real
a cavern for a body ; the deeper darker kind
i only love it when you touch me ; not feel me
you only ever touch me in the dark
if i had only felt the warmth within your touch
'cause when you look like that i've never ever wanted to be so bad
your body is a wonderland
it's always skin then sheets ; then skin again
i don't believe in love at first sight ; i believe in making love tonight
i want you all to myself ; your metaphorical gin and juice
give me a taste of what it's like to be next to you
friends with benefits. ( 32 lyrics )
tw: blood, alcohol
sometimes best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
in the middle of the night i may watch you go
i won't let you close enough to hurt me
morning will come and i'll do what's right ; just give me ‘til then to give up this fight
i need you to not wanna be mine
we were running off our midnight mouths
you just want somebody ; t's just the lonely talking
keep my body busy so my head might just forget what my heart knows
been chasing temporary highs and strangers
it's like we're scared of getting good ; cause we know the truth is that we could
don't you think it's time to get used to somebody ?
and don't call me lover ; it's not enough
i've been so lonely ; oh please just hold me
one last time ; i need to be the one who takes you home
i can't find you in the body sleeping next to me
you've got your own mistakes in a bed at home
maybe tonight i'll call you ; after my blood turns into alcohol
you loved me last night ; but what about today ?
i find myself swallowed ; drowning in your heat
when you sleep ; will it be with me ?
this bed was never made for two
these nights never seem to go to plan
in the lonely hour i need you
we could be anything tonight ; just tell me everything you like
bring your love baby i could bring my shame
fucked around and got attached to you
i'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone
swim in a deep sea of blankets
every time i wake up here i feel far away from love
guess the loneliness came knocking
midnight hearts between now and yesterday
i am just your habit for killing time
toxic. ( 174 lyrics )
tw: weapons, religion, emotional masochism, blood, drowning, scars, killers, mutilation, body harm, guns, weapons, spiders, abuse, suffocation
i don’t own a single gun ; but if i did you’d be the one
you and i nursing on a poison that never stung
i don’t wanna hurt you ; but you live for the pain
but in all chaos ; there is calculation
swear to god i'm a sinner in a church burnin' up for you
we're both cynics now and it kills me
you'd be the reason why i keep slipping
let's destroy a room with this love
god only knows what we're fighting for
all that i say ; you always say more
under your thumb ; i can't breathe
blood red scars ; you were the one to choose this
kiss me ; whilst i set fire to our bed
this was never love ; it was chaos
i hope that you don't bleed with me
i can finally see ; you're as fucked up as me
time and hearts will wear us thin
something always brings me back to you
i don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
the one thing that i still know is that you're keeping me down
a simplification of everything we're going through ; you plus me is bad news
if i stay it ain't gonna be easy
all your stormy words have barely broken
you and me ; always between the lines
i'm not an open book that you can rifle through
i could love you just like that and i could leave you just as fast
maybe it's the worst in me ; that's bringing out the worst in you
the best in me wants to love you ; but the worst in me doesn't want to
we've got blood and honey
you were everything that i was ever afraid of
you're an itch i can't reach ; a wound that won't heal
Sometimes i wish that you'd just die ; cause i'm too afraid of leaving
he's the sweet of a morning kiss ; but there's a poison it holds
you can tear down all the walls 'cause they're all for you my dear
my faith is strong and i need to know if i've judged this wrong
i made my clothes with the lies she spun
there's a storm you're starting now
throw me in the deep end ; watch me drown
you put a fever inside me ; and i’ve been cold since you left
you've got a fire inside but your heart's so cold
oh baby girl don't get cut on my edges
you do what you want cause i'm not what you wanted
counting all the scars you made
you paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
you and i walk a fragile line ; i have known it all this time
this slope is treacherous ; this path is reckless
all we are is skin and bone ; trained to get along
sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung
you pull me out of my shell and then hate me when i'm done
we said some things we didn’t mean ; with us there is no in between
when did our hearts will turn to stone ?
it's just i'd rather be causing the chaos than laying at the sharp end of this knife
your mouth is poison ; your mouth is wine
oh your hands can heal ; your hands can bruise
right from the start you were a thief you stole my heart ; and i your willing victim
'cause i'd rather fight with you than laugh with another
i'd rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers
and i'd let you hit me before i ever let you hit the floor
i'd rather feel your wrath than feel another's passion
feel your precious poison start to fill its maker's veins
we'll burn it down and then we'll build the world again ; our love is god
we'll burn away that tear and raise our city here
the new world needed room for me and you
we got the fire and we're burning one hell of a something
we're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
she's driving me crazy ; but I'm into it
love is thick like blood like honey
i know it's hard sometimes but we could be beautiful
when you throw me in the ground don't be sorry
face me if you dare ; cause nothing comes out easy love
it must be so hard ; in the mess you're always cleaning up
you came running and stood there silent ; summoning my sin
this love ; is like wildfire
gave you a minute when you needed an hour
i’ll love you til we're black and we're blue
the hole in my head is from the fire in your tongue
you got a fetish for my love ; i push you out and you come right back
the fight for you is all i've ever known
to say that we're in love is dangerous
he hit me and it felt like a kiss
our difference showed in our poisons
how is it you never notice ; that you are slowly killing me ?
you short circuit all my nerves ; promising electric pains
you got me scattered in pieces ; shining like stars and screaming
but then you disappear and make me wait
there's a million reasons why i should give you up ; but the heart wants what it wants
just set my heart on fire ; like gasoline
she's the absinthe on my lips ; the splinter in my fingertips
don’t take that sinner from me
the killer in me is the killer in you
i love this pain a little too much ; love my heart all busted up
carved your name across my eyelids ; you pray for rain & i pray for blindness
your name is the splinter inside me
no pleasure without sacrifice
i wanna see the devil in your eyes
we're slow dancing in a burnin' room
nobody's gonna come and save you ; we pulled too many false alarms
bombs are falling everywhere ; it's heartbreak warfare
no one really ever wins in heartbreak warfare
how come the only way to know how high you get me is to see how far i fall ?
watch my face as i pretend to feel no pain
lay your weapon down
to teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
when we're becoming something else ; i think it's time to walk away
your love is like a hurricane
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
she'll tear a hole in you ; the one you can't repair
it's better to feel pain than nothing at all
your words are like knives ; they peel my skin and pierce my soul
your body will burn tonight ; though your heart may still remain cold
it's your eyes that i don't believe and my heart you will you will mislead
careless love ; quit pouring honey in my ears
i must carry on with this wasted love
careless love ; there's more to say than should be said
you make me feel so powerless
the air in your lungs is like thunder ; i can see the clouds breaking in front of me
the air in my lungs is like thunder ; and i can't fight what you've made of me
worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
stab my heart ; bleeding out if you feel doubt about me loving you
well i've got thick skin and an elastic heart ; but your blade might be too sharp
she will love you like a twister ; and you'll be swept away
the tale of reckless love ; living a life of crime on the run
we swore that death will do us part ; they'll call our crimes a work of art
we live as ghosts among these street ; lovers and partners in crime
you'll collapse on the cover of your darkness ; strangling with feelings
i used to write with tears on your pretty painted face
i won't be made a fool of ; don't call this love
guess he kissed the girls and made them cry
it's a terrible love and i'm walking with spiders
it's a terrible love and i'm walking in
it's a terrible love ; and i'm walking in it's quiet company
my shivered bones wait til the panics out
the way you play on every weakness that you see in me
so don’t pretend like you can hardly breathe ; like it’s down to me
i feel your knife as it goes right in
cut to my core but i'm not bleeding
you use your words as a weapon dear
your blades don't hurt when you have no fear
you think that you're deep under my skin ; you're trying to keep me suffering
you have my heart but i lock it up ; this burning flame has been burnt enough
sometimes i wish we could be strangers ; so i didn't have to know your pain
but if i kept myself from danger this emptiness would feel the same
you see those egg shells ; they're broken up
i'll feel half empty ; ripped and torn
can we just pretend that we're not falling into the deep end ?
this can't be love if it hurts so much
our human hearts forget how strong they are
untie my silhouette ; it's all that is left of a broken heart
leave all of my regrets to sink like ship wrecks through oceans dark
if this is what dreams are made of then i think that i've seen enough
let me out into the dark ; i took a little step too far
we hurt ; just keep it inside ; small wonder that it starts to break
and everything you once loved remains unbroken
just pretend we're better ; turn out the light
there are no more surprises to come ; let's be numb together
is it wrong to dance this line ?
the doctors say you're no good
we're dancing on the edge of a knife
could i be your hero or your villain ?
shall we eat all the poison and leave all the questions behind ?
all the chemicals and alcohol make for a volatile love
i never wanna lose you ; but i feel that this closeness will tear us apart
if there is one thing that Ii'm guilty of It's loving and giving when you take too much
it ain't the knife ; it's the way that you use it
you've been killing me softly and finally the pain is too much
i'm all out of whisky to soak up the damage you've done
you're the one to blame ; you hold a smoking gun
we only talk when things go wrong
loving you the way i do ; it hurts
she's so hard to please ; she's a forest fire
you're a little much for me ; you're a liability
i was the match and you were the rock ; maybe we started this fire
carpet burns on my elbows ; the marks on your neck ; they the trophies of our love
unrequited. ( 47 lyrics )
and the things that keep us apart keep me alive
i can't make you love me if you don't
i'll close my eyes ; because then i won't see the love you don't feel
you can't make your heart feel somethin' that it won't
do you know how it feels to crave a body made of steel ?
you won't even notice that i'm gone
you consume my thoughts ; i'm not sure that i'm in yours at all
i desperately still want someone who never wanted me
we're in too deep ; so let go of my hand
maybe i wasn't worth the pain
and all i'm thinking about is not thinking about you
funny how the hurt is never equal when it all falls
if i told you solitude fits me like a glove would you let me out ?
i tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
take my best wishes if you won't take me with you
i'm searching for something that i can't reach
i'm reaching out and i just can't tell you why i'm caught up in you
tell me that you love me even if it's fake
it could be better if i kept it to myself
this meant more to you than it did to me
just please don't say you love me ; cause i might not say it back
they say the heart only wants what it can't have ; so i guess your hand in mine will never fit
but if i can't have you i'll walk this life alone
in the dead of night ; i'll meet you in my sleep
i want all that is not mine
i would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all
i wish you had words to cool this fever that is killing me
only ever in dreams i wrap my arms around you
what's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose ?
you rest your bones somewhere far from my own
i needed love but it's never the same
i'm sick and tired of loving you more
i'm not what you wanted ; i'm not what you need
please don't tell me you want me ; please don't say you do
i'd love to reciprocate your love but i'm incapable
you say you love me so much ; but i don't want your love
i gave my all ; but i think my all may have been too much
but in reality ; your love will never be
you deserve forever ; not a boy looking for better
like ships in the night ; you keep passing me by
i’m no longer what you require
i adore you ; but there's a hole in the cup that should hold your love
dreaming with a broken heart
it's never the same if you don't feel it too
the opposite of love's indifference
is there not enough to use your love for me ?
you don’t know how i fight for you and believe in your aims
forbidden. ( 10 lyrics )
the words that you whispered for just us to know
put your lips close to mine ; as long as they don't touch
what a sad beautiful tragic love affair
i'm wanting you but can't go back
i don't have a choice but i'd still choose you
this is dangerous 'cause i want you so much
hanging our hearts in disgrace
for a chance to be with you ; i'd gladly risk it all
just a longing ; gone without a trace
begging for the slightest touch
