you said, Be careful, it's delicate
things can just crumble apart
But it's not the same for me
It's not the same for me
I kept treading so carelessly
Thin lines that
splintered my ground
But I closed my eyes to them
I closed my eyes to them
And how did you know
that I couldn't be what
everyone wanted me to be
And how did you know
that I wouldn't see
when everything falls away from me
when everything falls away from me
One day I woke in the rubble
Knee-deep in damage I'd done
And I was ashamed of it
How did it come to this
And how did you know that
I couldn't be what
everyone wanted me to be
And how did you know
that I wouldn't see
when everything falls away from me
when everything falls away from me
And how did you know
that I couldn't be what
everyone wanted me to be
And how did you know
that I wouldn't see
when everything falls away from me
when everything falls away from me
When everything falls away from me

Stop in the dark
Where the stars are
still shining on me
Go with the wind
Let it lift away the memories
I tried to set you free
You keep trying to rescue me
But you can't tell a heart
when to start, how to beat
I never wanted to say goodbye
You never wanted to see me cry
Now, I'm afraid to open my eyes
Are you gone, gone, gone
Tell me I'm wrong, wrong, wrong
It's been so long, long, long
Are you gone, gone, gone
Back at the start
We were the only thing
that mattered
And we smiled, unafraid
As we filled the night
with laughter
And I tried my best to see
What you tried your best to be
But you can't tell a heart
when to start, how to beat
I never wanted to say goodbye
You never wanted to see me cry
Now, I'm afraid to open my eyes
Are you gone, gone, gone
Tell me I'm wrong, wrong, wrong
It's been so long, long, long
Are you gone, gone, gone
Oh, though it seems
that we were not meant to be
I have to disagree
you are the one for me
And I know someday
we could find our way
I hope it's not too late
Please stay
Are you gone, gone
Are you gone, gone
It's been so long
It's been so long
Are you gone, gone, gone
Tell me I'm wrong, wrong, wrong
It's been so long, long, long
Are you gone, gone, gone
You're gone You're gone
You're gone You're gone
You're gone Gone
You're gone You're gone
You're gone You're gone
You're gone Gone
You're gone

Hush, now let's go
quiet to the park
Where it first started
Cool night, us lying in the dark
I felt my heart
Was trying to find the place
for you to stay
A place where I feel safe
Anything we have known
anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms
I'll stay
Anything we have known
anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms
I'll stay
Take my hand
Let's go into the trees
Behind the branches
Falling on our knees
I remember feeling like this
part of us will never change
Anything we have known
anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms
I'll stay
Anything we have known
anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms
I'll stay
Follow me
We both know the way
It's always been the same
Anything we have known
anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark
we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms
I'll stay
Anything we have known
anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms
I'll stay
In your arms I'll stay
In your arms I'll stay
In your arms I'll stay
In your arms I'll stay

Yeah, I wanna know
where you go if you're going
And we can take it slow
if you don't show
that you're slowing
And you can try to save me
if you're crazy
But I wanna know if we go
where we're going to
People try to find
reasons why things aren't perfect
Fight to deny every smile
they're deserving
But we can try to end this
just give me one kiss
Let me show you how,
even now, things are perfect
If you want to grow,
you gotta let it go
You, afraid to fall
You, you know it's all
You, afraid to fall
You, you know
it's all love, love
I know that you're scared
to prepare for this feeling
But it's always there
like the air that you're breathing
So, go on take a deep breath
and give it your best
Maybe you'll see through to me
and your feelings too
If you want to grow,
you gotta let it go
You, afraid to fall
You, you know it's all
You, afraid to fall
You, you know
it's all love, love
If you open up your hand
Don't try too hard
You don't need to understand
Just start
You, afraid to fall
You, you know it's all
You, afraid to fall
You, you know
it's all love, love
Love, love

Don't break me, I bruise easily
The source of both
your love and misery
I am steady, beating endlessly
While you are dozing
dreaming pretty things
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My efforts leave me
but flow back swiftly
My rhythm, soothing,
like raindrops steady
On foggy windows
when you gaze outwardly
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
This is a message from your heart
Everytime you sleep
Everytime you eat
Everytime you laugh
Everytime you cry
Every time you love
This is a message from your heart

I think that the stars
would have waited for us
Hanging onto the night
watching down below
Until we were hand in hand
together waiting for them
So when I open my eyes
I saw it too
Stars falling down
when I fell for you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I do
I think that the clouds
like the laughter
around us
Wanting to feel the warmth
they're softly sinking down
Until they cover the streets
just like a dreamland
And right above us
they part so that I see through
Stars falling down
and I fall for you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I do
I do, I do, I do
I love you, I love you
I do, I do, love you love you
I love you, I love you, I do

I will be the one
you say goodnight to.
I will be the one
you say goodnight to.
Let me first say that
you're so charming
Don't you think that
you could use someone to charm
I would sit back
I would laugh
I would laugh again
And maybe you'd like someone
to greet you at the door
after a long, long day
I'm here for you, if you let me
I will be the one
you say goodnight to.
I will be the one
you say goodnight to.
Funny thing is I'm trying hard
and it's unlike me
to get so caught up in things
But I won't quit
I won't quit 'til you smile at me
And I just cry
if you don't stop to say hello
It hurts the longer this goes
I'd cry for you, if you let me
I will be the one you
say goodnight to
I will be the one you
say goodnight to
Oh, oh, oh. If you let me
Oh, oh, oh If you let me
Oh, ooh, ooh If you let me
I will be the one
you say goodnight to.
I will be the one
you say goodnight to.
I will be the one
you say goodnight to.
I will be the one
you say goodnight to.

Love, it's a special day
We should
celebrate and appreciate
That you and me
found something pretty neat
And I know some say
this day is arbitrary
But, it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby
I know what to do baby
I, I will love you
I'll love you I'll love you
Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you and me
cause in your company
I feel happier
so happy and complete
And it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby
I know what to do baby
I, I will love you
I'll love you I'll love you
Yeah, it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby
I know what to do baby
I, I will love you
I'll love you I'll love you
So, won't you be my honeybee
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine Be my valentine
So, won't you be my honeybee
Giving sweet kisses all the time
Be mine Be my valentine
Be my Valentine

You let me know that I was done
Put me to rest far away from you
No words will go between us now
And you think
this will help somehow, somehow
But if you care, I'm open
And if you need, I'll stay a while
So you can get this off your chest
Prove to yourself
without me is best
I don't believe
you'd rather go on without me
That you think this is
what you need
That you're better
that you're better without me
Without me
Another heartfelt letter
Followed by signs of your lament
You say I should be better
And educate me on my flaws
But if you care, I'm open
And if you need, I'll stay a while
So you can get this off your chest
Prove to yourself
without me is best
I don't believe
you'd rather go on without me
That you think this is
what you need
That you're better
that you're better without me
Without me
Oh, now you're coming around here
doing what you do
You're making this hard
me living without you
Oh, don't you see that it's simple
Oh, don't you see it's so obvious
Oh, it should be
you and me constantly
I can't let you go
But if you care, I'm open
And if you need, I'll stay a while
So you can get this off your chest
Prove to yourself
without me is best
I don't believe
you'd rather go on without me
That you think this is
what you need
That you're better
that you're better without me
Without me
Without me
Without me

Hear your breath beside me
in my bed
All the sheets are tangled
in my legs
And as I stretch
The sun falls on me
A gentle way to say
it's time to wake up
It's time to wake up
To the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me
Start your day
with coffee, mine tea
Humming with my guitar
as you read
I write a song
The words all find me
Assembling into
this picture of things
With all that they bring
To the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me
It's the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me
It's the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me
It's the world in front of me
