Sweet Sacrifice Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's true, we're all a little insane
But it's so clear
Now that I'm unchained
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's taking over all the time, oh
[Chorus]
You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me
Don't deny
Sweet sacrifice
[Verse 2]
One day, I'm gonna forget your name
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's taking over all the time
[Chorus]
You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
And oh, you love to hate me
Don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice
[Bridge]
I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
Erase the silence
Erase my life
Do you wonder why you hate?
Our burning ashes
Blacken the day
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?
A world of nothingness
Blow me away
[Chorus]
You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me
Don't deny
Sweet sacrifice
Call Me When You’re Sober Lyrics
[Chorus]
Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
[Verse 1]
Should I let you fall? Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't keep believing, we're only deceiving
Ourselves, and I'm sick of the lie
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're too late
[Chorus]
Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
[Verse 2]
Couldn't take the blame, sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated, no wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're too late
[Chorus]
So don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
[Post-Chorus]
You never call me when you're sober
You only want it 'cause it's over
Ah, it's over
[Bridge]
How could I
Have burned paradise?
How could I
You were never mine
[Chorus]
So don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me, just get your things
I've made up your mind
Weight of the World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Feels like the weight of the world
Like God in heaven gave me a turn
Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you
Still in the dark, can you fix me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Freefall, freefall
All through life
[Chorus]
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be
[Post-Chorus]
She's nothing to me
[Verse 2]
Feels like the weight of the world
Like all my screaming has gone unheard
And oh, I know you don't believe in me
Safe in the dark, how can you see?
[Pre-Chorus]
Freefall, freefall
All through life
[Chorus]
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be
[Break]
(Oh)
[Chorus]
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I was
If you love me
Then let go of me
I won't be held down
By who I used to be
Lithium Lyrics
[Chorus]
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
Oh, but God, I wanna let it go
[Verse 1]
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
[Chorus]
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
Ah
[Bridge]
Don't wanna let it lay me down this time
Drown my will to fly
Here in the darkness, I know myself
Can't break free until I let it go
Let me go
[Verse 2]
Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone (Alone)
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me
[Chorus]
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium, stay in love with you
Ah, I'm gonna let it go
Cloud Nine Lyrics
[Refrain]
If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm not afraid to dream, to sleep, sleep forever
[Verse]
I don't need to touch the sky
I just want to feel that high
And you refuse to lift me
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along
[Chorus]
If I fall
And all is lost
It's where I belong
[Refrain]
If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along
[Chorus]
If I fall
And all is lost
No light to lead the way
(Never thought that it would end up this way)
[Post-Chorus]
Remember that all alone
Is where I belong
[Bridge]
In a dream
Will you give your love to me?
Beg my broken heart to beat
Save my life, change my mind
[Chorus]
If I fall
And all is lost
No light to lead the way
(Never thought that it would end up this way)
[Post-Chorus]
Remember that all alone
Is where I belong
Snow White Queen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stoplight, lock the door
Don't look back
Undress in the dark
And hide from you, all of you
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never know the way your words have haunted me
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me (Ever and ever)
(Ever and ever) You don't know me
(Ever and ever) Now and ever
[Chorus]
"You belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run
So let's just get it over
Soon, I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore, my love
'Cause all I want is you"
[Verse 2]
Wake up in a dream
Frozen fear
All your hands on me
I can't scream, I can't scream
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't escape the twisted way you think of me
I feel you in my dreams, and I don't sleep (ever and ever)
(Ever and ever) I don't sleep
[Chorus]
"Say you belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run
So let's just get it over
Soon, I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore, my love
'Cause all I want is you"
[Bridge]
I can't save your life
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting
I'm losing my mind
And you just stand there and stare as my world divides
[Chorus]
"You belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run
So let's just get it over
Soon, I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore, my love
'Cause all I want is you"
[Outro]
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you (Ever and ever)
(Ever and ever)
Lacrymosa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out on your own
Cold and alone again
Can this be what you really wanted
Baby?
[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa) Blame it on me
(Dies illa) Set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa) Nothing can
(Dona eis requiem) Hold you back now
[Verse 2]
Now that you're gone
Feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair
And willing
[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa) To let you blame it on me
(Dies illa) And set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa) I don't want to
(Dona eis requiem) hold you back now, love
[Post-Chorus]
I can't change who I am
[Bridge]
Not this time, I won't lie
To keep you near me
And in this short life, there's no time
To waste on giving up, my love wasn't enough
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa) And you can blame it on me
(Dies illa) Just set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa) Honey, I don't want to
(Dona eis requiem) Hold you back now love
[Outro]
(Amen)
Like You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stay low
Soft, dark, and dreamless
Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness
I hate me for breathing without you
I don't want to feel anymore
For you
[Pre-Chorus]
Grieving for you
I'm not grieving for you
Nothing real love can't undo
[Chorus]
And though I may have lost my way
All paths lead straight to you
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm
[Verse 2]
Halo
Blinding wall between us
Melt away and leave us alone again
Humming
Haunted somewhere out there
I believe our love can see us through in death
[Chorus]
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you
[Bridge]
You're not alone
No matter what they told you, you're not alone
I'll be right beside you forevermore
[Chorus]
I long to be like you, sis
Lie cold in the ground like you did
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you
And as we lay in silent bliss
I know you remember me
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you
Lose Control Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You don't remember my name
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?
[Chorus]
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control, just once
With all the pretty flowers in the dust
[Verse 2]
Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we play very quiet, my lamb
Mary never has to know
[Chorus]
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control, just once
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
If I cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear there'll be nothing good left of you
[Refrain]
Oh-oh, oh-oh! oh-oh, oh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh! oh-oh, oh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh! oh-oh, oh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh! oh-oh, oh!
[Outro]
Just to lose control, just once
The Only One Lyrics
[Intro]
All the tuna fish are singing
In a tuna afternoon (Quack, quack, quack)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 1]
When they all come crashing down
Midflight
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
When they're so alone, they find
A back door out of life
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
[Chorus]
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
[Verse 2]
So afraid to open your eyes
Hypnotized
You know you're not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
Never understood this life
And you're right, I don't deserve
But you know I'm not the only one
(Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
[Chorus]
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
[Bridge]
Don't look down
Don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you (Me)
Don't look down, you'll fall down
You'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong
Can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you
If I can't feel, I'm not mine
I'm not real (Me)
[Chorus]
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader (Me)
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
Your Star Lyrics
[Amy] has ever written”. The song was written in the hotel room in Portugal when Amy was feeling “jet-lagged, weird and tired.”
During… Read More [Verse 1]
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can't see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away
[Chorus]
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out
[Verse 2]
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
How can the darkness feel so wrong?
[Chorus]
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out
[Bridge]
So far away
It's growing colder without your love
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence
It's breaking me
All my fears turn to rage
[Chorus]
And I'm alone now, me
And all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out
[Outro]
And nothing worth fighting for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out
All That I’m Living For Lyrics
[Intro]
All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night
[Verse 1]
I can feel the night beginning
Separate me from the living
Understanding me after all I've seen
Piecing every thought together
Find the words to make me better
If I only knew how to pull myself apart
[Chorus]
All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night
All that I'm wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me
[Verse 2]
I believe that dreams are sacred
Take my darkest fears and play them
Like a lullaby, like a reason why
Like a play of my obsessions
Make me understand the lesson
So I'll find myself
So I won't be lost again
[Chorus]
All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night
All that I'm wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me
[Verse 3]
Guess I thought I'd have to change the world to make you see me
To be the one
I could have run forever
But how far would I have come
Without mourning your love?
[Chorus]
All that I'm living for
All that I'm dying for
All that I can't ignore alone at night
All that I'm wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me
[Outro]
Should it hurt to love you?
Should I feel like I do?
Should I lock the last open door?
My ghosts are gaining on me
Good Enough Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel
[Chorus]
Good enough
I feel good enough
For you
[Verse 2]
Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely
Now I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel
[Chorus]
Good enough
I feel good enough
[Verse 3]
It's been such a long time coming
But I feel good
And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
'Cause I can't hold on
To anything this good enough
Am I good enough
For you to love me too?
[Outro]
So take care what you ask of me
'Cause I can't say no
