And as I’m sitting here
Penning supplications to a heart that doesn’t hear
And as the daylight slowly starts to disappear
That’s when I know you
And it’s a fitting task
Promising to make sure that your promises will last
And when we know the time for honesty has passed
That’s when I know you
When the morning starts to tire
And the people you admire
Well they never tell you why
All these things take time
All these things take time
Little pantomime
All these things take time
I think I was standing there
Opening invitations with a hand that doesn’t care
Because we know it seems so grand until its there
And that’s when I fall through
But you never seem to mind
That they’re leaving you behind
And they never tell you why
Now you know that
All these things take time
All these things take time
Little pantomime
All these things take time
And if it hurts a little fraction
This kind of contraband attraction
I’ll be damned if I am letting you go
Cause while we’re sitting and we’re waiting
You say you find me so frustrating
But it’s easier the moment you know
All these things take time
All these things take time
Little pantomime
All these things take time
All these things take time
All these things take time
Little pantomime
All these things take time

Don't Say

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing, praying you would come around and say something to me
But instead I'll just keep hoping that you'll grasp me like a rope and then you'll pull me to my feet
Cause I've been waiting, I've been wondering, I've been singing, I've been jumping to conclusions
But you know as well as I do that as much as I might try to I can't push aside confusions
And we know that I'm not ready, I'm not ready to say I do
And we know that you're not ready, you're not ready to see things through
So please
Don't say that you need me to stay
That you need me to hold you hands now
Dear friend there's no need to pretend
This will not be the end I swear to you now
Well I watched you at that party cause I know that there's a part of me that wishes you were mine
But at the same time it's the wrong time and I've known for quite a long time that I'm leaving you behind
Cause I've been waiting I've been wondering I've been singing I've been jumping to conclusions
But you know as well as I do that as much as I might try to I can't push aside confusions
So please
Don't say that you need me to stay
That you need me to hold you hands now
Dear friend there's no need to pretend
This will not be the end I swear to you now
No we won't say, no we won't say...
Don't say that you need me to stay
That you need me to hold you hands now
Dear friend there's no need to pretend
This will not be the end I swear to you now

Our Love Lies Bleeding
04:36

the wind is cold, my eyes are closing
down in the ground our love lies frozen
the sky is black, my eyes are pleading
down in the ground our love lies bleeding
and ooh
it burns me, you know, it burns me to let you go
and ooh
well it hurts me, you know, it hurts me to tell you so
well you can take this stone
and you can take it home
and you can take it far away
but darling if you go
you'd better take my soul
'cause i don't need it anyway
and that's what the broken-hearted say but i'll say it anyway
the wind has changed your eyes are haunting
down in the ground our love lies wanting
but i won't fade i'll keep on faking
you'll never know my heart is breaking
and ooh
it burns me, you know, it burns me to let you go
and ooh
well it hurts me, you know, it hurts me to tell you so
but you can take this stone
and you can take it home
and you can take it far away
but darling if you go
you'd better take my soul
'cause i don't need it anyway
and that's what the broken hearted say but i'll say it anyway
'cause our love, our love, our love lies bleeding
my love, my love, my love
But you can take this stone
and you can take it home
and you can take it far away
but darling if you go
you'd better take my soul
'cause i won't need it anyway
and that's what the broken hearted say but i'll say it anyway
what you are wanting, i am needing
down in the ground our love lies bleeding

I Don't Want To Love You
04:43
|

I don't want to love you
I don't want to care
But still I'm thinking of you
Wishing you were here
I think of how I told you
Exactly how I feel
And I just want to hold you
'Cause loving you feels real
And I've learned that you can't change what you said
And you can't love with your head
Seems that dying is an art
And my heart is
Crushing itself from the inside
And I'm dying from feeling alive
'Cause you were holding me close in the night time
And I'll remember those arms 'till I die, why
I tell myself it's over
I tell myself we're done
I tell myself I hate you
And have done all along
But then I think of your smile
Then I see your eyes
And suddenly I forget
All that I despise
And I've learned that you can't change what you said
And you can't love with your head
Seems that dying is an art
And my heart is
Crushing itself from the inside
And I'm dying from feeling alive
'Cause you were holding me close in the night time
And I'll remember those arms 'till I die, why
Why can't I love someone I like
Why can't you be here holding me tight
Why can't I hate all that you are
I suppose it's too late
But you can watch my heart
While it's
Crushing itself from the inside
And I'm dying from feeling alive
'Cause you were holding me close in the night time
And I'll remember those arms 'till I die
And it was crushing itself from the inside
And I'm dying from feeling alive
'Cause you were holding me close in the night time
And I'll remember those arms 'till I die, why

Leave You Behind
03:30

Well I'd been playing around
Been saving a pound or two to fly from this town
And you had a grin
For reeling me in and slowing dragging me down
So I know it's unkind, but you're out of my mind.
Well I'd been playing it chaste
Shirts down to my waist until I saw your sweet face
I'm playing it cool
But I was a fool who put her talent to waste
So I know it's unkind, but you're out of my mind.
And it's a shame to forfeit success
But even the best of us are tested by the taste of the salt in our skin
And it's a shame to look in your eyes
And spiral wildly out of time
But when it comes down to heaven or sin
While you're blinded by the sunshine
I'll be basking in the sweet, sweet glow of the night
And while I'm dancing in the daylight
You'll be staring at the stars, only finding my eyes
'Cause I'll leave you behind
I'd been taking a break
Been making mistakes and singing of love that I faked
The look in your eye
Was only a lie that told of trouble you'd make
So I know it's unfair, but I'm leaving you there.
'Cause it's a shame to forfeit success
But even the best of us are tested by the taste of the salt in our skin
And it's a shame to look in your eyes
And spiral wildly out of time
But when it comes down to heaven or sin
While you're blinded by the sunshine
I'll be basking in the sweet, sweet glow of the night
And while I'm dancing in the daylight
You'll be staring at the stars, only finding my eyes
'Cause I'll leave you behind
And I'm leaving what you gave me
'Cause I know you'll only hold me back
And I know that 'cause you told me
I should cut you some slack
While you're blinded by the sunshine
I'll be basking in the sweet, sweet glow of the night
And while I'm dancing in the daylight
You'll be staring at the stars, only finding my eyes
Blinded by the sunshine
I'll be basking in the sweet, sweet glow of the night
And while I'm dancing in the daylight
You'll be staring at the stars, only finding my eyes
'Cause I'll leave you behind
And I know it's unkind...

Take Me Home
04:30
|
|||

You were the fire and I was the wood
But you burned up higher than I ever could
I gave him my heart and he cast it aside
So why I can’t love now
Well, you can decide
I think you should take me home
And find someone to love
I think you should take me home
Find someone worthy of
All that you have to show
‘Cause I’ll never be enough
So please will you take me home
Home
I always knew I was better alone
I thought maybe you, but I know I was wrong
I tried to retrieve my poor heart from the fire
But now, I should leave, ‘cause I feel no desire
I think you should take me home
And find someone who cares
I think you should take me home
‘Cause I’ll never be there
I think you should take me home
‘Cause I’m a little unprepared
Please will you take me home
Home, and I’ll stay there
I can’t bear to think my heart might live a lie
I’m so tired of killing dreams and living lies
But I’ve learned that love is not a compromise
I think you should take me home
‘Cause I am not the one
I think you should take me home
‘Cause that part of my heart is done
I think you should take me home
Don’t see what I have become
So please will you take me home
And I’ll find someone
Please will you take me home
There’ll be someone
