Weakness
04:13

|
Can I tell you what keeps me on my toes?
Can I tell you what no one else knows?
There’s this place I hold just for you
And no one can ever get through
I still hear every word you say
I still wheeze when you take my breath away
But no there is nothing that I could ever say
To make you change your mind and stay
Cause there’s a weakness in me
And it’s exactly your size
And this weakness in me
I can no longer hide
Yeah this weakness it seams
Will remain with me through life
It remains with me through life
Try to prove that what I do is right
But pieces of you keep floating by
And all of these feelings
All my greatest fears
Seem never to change over the years.
The amount of times I’ve cried over you
Thinking about the stupid things you put me through
But no there is nothing that I could ever do
To make you come through
But I don’t want to be anything without you
And I don’t want to feel afraid of life with or without you
But there’s something deep in me
A weakness I can only see and it’s you
Since you came into my life.
Yeah it’s you since you came into my life

Invasia
03:50
|
|||
|
I’m a little bit nervous
I’m a little bit shy
I’m a little bit hesitant
Now that you’re, you’re back in my life
I thought that it was over
I thought that I’d won
I never thought I’d ever see your face again
All the good things come undone
But oh, Invasia
Oh and time can’t save you
There’s something about the way they look at you
Makes you sink in your skin
There’s something about the way they move
Touch you deep within
So where you think you’re going?
Just stay where you are
Quit digging up the past with your eyes
I know it’s happy where it lay
But oh, Invasia
Oh and time can’t save you
Seems like such a simple solution
Out of sight means out of mind
But what if all these days are just
Moments till you see them again
But oh, Invasia
Oh and time can’t save you

Dr Phil
03:57
|
|||
|
Lately I’ve been feeling so empty
Like I’m not even reaching
The smallest degree of potential
And then I feel that I’m crumbling
In a world that seems to be sailing
Over and over again
And shamefully I’ve been watching too many
Reality TV shows and entertainment news
And just like a drug it takes you higher
Higher and higher and leaves you feeling so lifeless
So Dr Phil where are you?
I need a cure
Take me far away from this melancholy
Oh I don’t think you help me
Or if you even want to
Maybe it’s just a ploy
To keep me in this darkened room
So now, now it’s raining outside
It’s a good enough reason to hide
And leave your troubles behind
But that’s not good enough
No matter how hard I try
It’s always in the back of my mind
So Dr Phil where are you?
I need a cure
Take me far away from this melancholy
Oh I don’t think you help me
Or if you even want to
Maybe it’s just a ploy
To keep me in this darkened room
Oh I don’t think you help me
Or if you even want to
Maybe it’s just a ploy
To keep me in this darkened room

In the Middle
03:23
|
|||
|
We talk the same
I guess we always have
And we always blame
Our sleepless nights on the cries outside
Every thought I have
You’ve thought it first
You’re the best part about me
And sometimes the worst
Oh we spent so much time together
Made me feel complete
But sometimes it’s hard to know
Where you end and I begin
And now you’re overseas
And there’s a bigger gap to breach
And though I know we may change
I wonder if we’ll ever meet
In the middle again
How lovely it would be
If you were here again
But I can’t deny without you
I’m forced to live my life
The way I choose
And now you’re overseas
And there’s a bigger gap to breach
And though I know we may change
I wonder if we’ll ever meet
In the middle again

Make my day
04:01
|
|||
|
Can you read my signal?
I’ve been hanging by your side.
It’s been so long that I can’t let go
And it’s been so wrong
To be lying here in this state of fear
But I know that I deserve
A little piece of you
If you should stay,
Baby you would make my day.
You were a little piece of heaven just for me
But somehow I could see a reason to complain.
Did this drive you away?
Or make you feel enslaved?
Oh couldn’t you find a memory to change your mind?
It’s been so long that I can’t let go
And it’s been so wrong
To be lying here in this state of fear
But I know that I deserve
A little piece of you
If you should stay,
Baby you would make my day.
You came at a time when I needed something new
So much more than I dreamed
I’m sorry if it seemed like
I didn’t appreciate you
Or the surrounding beautiful
What did I do to deserve you?
Why did I choose to hurt you?
It’s been so long that I can’t let go
And it’s been so wrong
To be lying here in this state of fear
But I know that I deserve
A little piece of you
If you should stay,
Baby you would make my day.

Part-time home
03:52
|
|||
|
I’m supposed to smile and enjoy your company
And remove my finger from the dial
But I’ll get a grip tomorrow
When I realise what I have waiting at home
My chest may be choking on the pain
And my tears, they may reflect the steady rain
But don’t tell me to wake up and see the world
Then snatch me back and say you stupid girl
Because I, I just wanna be there with you
Oh, like we used to
And no, it’s not where you are
It’s who you’re with, and I
Just wanna be with you
The bathroom floor has become a loyal friend
Someone to turn to when I’m feeling at wits end
It’s not the hundred situps that make me feel so tired
But the loneliness I feel late at night
Because I, I just wanna be there with you
Oh, like we used to
And no, it’s not where you are
It’s who you’re with, and I
Just wanna be with you
I don’t really wanna know if anything has changed
I like to reminisce back to the days when life began
And every time you’re on the line your voice brings me home
And takes me far away from this part-time home
Because I, I just wanna be there with you
Oh, like we used to
And no, it’s not where you are
It’s who you’re with, and I
Just wanna be with you

Selfish Girl
02:49
|
|||
|
You know I can’t stand the though of hurting you
Sometimes it’s more than I can bear
Sometimes I can’t breathe just the thought of my
Selfishness takes hold of me like I’m drowning
Sometimes the way you look at me
Makes me feel alive
And I can never tell you enough
How glad I am you’re in my life
And I can’t stand the thought of you walking out the door
Without knowing how thankful I am
For what you endure
I know nobody’s perfect
But I, I wanna try
Cause sometimes it’s worth it
To keep what’s good in your life
Can be a selfish girl
Bittersweet memories
Will not hold me back
And as they say this is life
While we’re making plans
But sometimes I get preoccupied
With making something of my life
But it’s time to set things right
I know nobody’s perfect
But I, I wanna try
Cause sometimes it’s worth it
To keep what’s good in your life
Can be a selfish girl

Don't (By Your Side)
03:18
|
|||
|
Don’t, don’t ask me why
Don’t ask my how
It’s just a mystery
It’s such a lie
That all things change
But when they do
I will be there for you
Cause when all things start to fade
I will be standing by your side
Whenever you may cry
Cause in this life
My love won’t fade from you
Suddenly, it fills you so complete
Makes you feel so uneasy
Takes you away from here
So don’t, don’t speak so soft
Just scream out loud
So they all know
Oh, and don’t, don’t take their place
Don’t stoop so low
It’s what they want from you
And though the time may heal
It takes too long
And before you wake
All will be done
And tomorrow it may all be gone
So when all things start to fade
I will be standing by your side
Whenever you may cry
Cause in this life
My love won’t fade from you
