PLEASE BE HAPPY
It's too late now, we can't change anything
The ties that bind us have been weakened
The bond between us though is forever
but this distance now is as much as I can bear
I don't care what you say
I'm going to carry you in my heart
and you'll stay there forever.
I'd like to put it all back together again
but I can't
I want to hold you
and make it alright.
I think about all those years
and I cherish them
but our careless love
we should have known
would break us.
Please be happy.
Please be strong.
I WANT YOU TO REALISE
They told me I'd say this;
I'm disappointed in you.
I heard the things they said
and I thought they misunderstood you.
I want you to realise the hurt you cause.
I want you to realise I don't deserve these things.
Nearly all of us paint a halo around ourselves
but I painted one around you.
When they disagreed I'd stand for you.
When they laughed I'd stand your ground.
Every time I felt I was right to.
I want you to realise the hurt you cause.
I want you to realise I don't deserve these things.
Nearly all of us paint a halo around ourselves,
and I'm as guilty of that as anyone else,
but what kind of fool would paint one around you.
They told me I'd say this;
I'm disappointed in you.
NEXT TIME YOU FALL
I'm coming round now
Will you be ready?
A walk in the park avoiding the issues
There's no other way these days
We're wasting time waiting for that day.
Turn to me
Just let me help you
From there I'd bind you to your word
And save you from yourself
See the way they're losing interest
There's no one left to judge you now
There's no one left that cares
I see the strength that you've forgotten
I loved you for that then
and see it in you still
We're wasting time waiting for that day.
Next time you fall I'll just leave you there
as I'm not helping you at all.
EVERYTHING IS US
Is the silence of my home not mine?
Have you come to haunt me?
There's regret aching through this house
For the careless way I loved you.
Everything is as we left it
Everything is as we made it
Everything is us
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU
To see you after all this time
Pushed and pulled by life, right here
All those times we got lost
All those schemes falling over themselves
There you are
When there's nothing left to cheer for
By my side as they fall away
When the good times fail to fly
To fly like they used to fly
There you are
The difference in our stories
It binds us
All those things
Define us
That's where they fail
That's why, so sure, we see it through
There you are
When there's nothing left to cheer for
By my side as they fall away
When the good times fail to fly
To fly like they used to fly
There you are
Just stay near me
Just stay with me
It's always good to see you boy
Looking at the lives we've lived
It makes sense this time and place
I'll carry you when you need me to
I'll carry you
And you'll carry me
Just stay near me
WALK AWAY
Here again in the same sad state
Walking in to daylight in a new shade of fallen grace
No reason to stay here
There's nothing to stay here for
Pick up your things
Turn around
And walk.
Dream and dream again
A pattern I know
The reason we've made it this far
Is entirely down to you.
Just look at you
The idea of you
So in love with love
So in love with the idea
I thought that you needed me
I felt that you wanted me
It's here I find I've lost all control
I realise I must walk away
It's been too long with no sense of consequence
No sense at all
I don't want to care anymore
I don't want to
It's time to walk away.
You knew that it wasn't my fault
But you talk as if it really was
I took the blame
And you let me
And when I wasn't looking
You thought you'd take all that you want
It's a shame
And for all of us
It ricochets on
You can see it in their eyes
That they don't know weather to laugh or cry
In my way it was a foolish game
No where in this sorry affair
Is there anything like an excuse
Here I am now so embarrassed for you
And somehow ashamed of myself
What you did was wrong
You can paint it any shade you want
But no colour finds me relief.
