My Paper Heart Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
[Verse 1]
Tears fall, down your face
The taste, is something new
Something that
I know moving on is
Easiest when I am around you
[Pre-Chorus]
So bottle up old love
And throw it out to sea
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go
[Chorus 1]
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
[Verse 2]
Waiting, day to day it goes through
My lips, are sealed for her
My tongue is
Tied to, a dream of being with you
To settle for less, is not what I prefer
[Pre-Chorus]
So bottle up old love
And throw it out to sea
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go
[Chorus 1]
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
[Chorus 2]
Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me
Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me

Your Star Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She screams when I'm away
She's been gone before
I worried all the time, why worry anymore?
Now I go, away
Now I know, today
[Chorus]
I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe
[Verse 2]
She, now she's all alone
Her eyes they drown in tears
Their love was meant to last
But she is blind with fear
Now I go, away
Now I know, today
[Chorus]
I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe
[Bridge]
Leave me be
Now I'm free
Love reflecting everything
You want space
I need you to help me see this through
There she goes, there she goes, there she goes
[Chorus]
I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe
I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wished for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

Swing, Swing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Days swiftly come and go
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions astir
The sun is gone
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you think that I would cry
On the phone?
Do you know what it feels like
Being alone?
I'll find someone new
[Chorus]
(Swing) Swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way to carry on again?
[Verse 2]
Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old
They bend, they fold
And so do I to a new love
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you think that I would cry
On the phone?
Do you know what it feels like
Being alone?
I'll find someone new
[Chorus]
(Swing) Swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way to carry on again?
[Bridge]
Bury me
(You thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(Away, away, away)
[Chorus]
(Swing) Swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way to carry on again?
(Swing) Swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way to carry on again?
(Swing) Swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way to carry on again?
(Swing) Swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find

Time Stands Still Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Him and her
Life is turned
The day I knew you would leave
I can barely breathe
Can you hear me scream?
[Chorus]
You thrown in all directions
You epitome of perfection
She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
Time is standing still
[Verse 2]
He walks, her, home
Now he walks alone
The days they turn into years
The eyes they drown in tears
Can you hear me scream?
[Chorus]
You thrown in all directions
You epitome of perfection
She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
Time is standing still
[Bridge]
The way we are the way we were
(It's just a shadow of what's wrong)
The time with you the time is stirred
(I love you for, so long)
The hearts they turn, they turn away
(She says to go please don't you cry)
Love lost was found, night turns to day
[Chorus]
You thrown in all directions
You epitome of perfection
She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
Time is standing still
You thrown in all directions
You epitome of perfection
She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
Time is standing still

One More Sad Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One boy, one girl, two hearts, their world
Time goes by, secrets rise
One more, sad song, tears shed, she's gone
She'd take it back, if she only could
[Pre-Chorus]
And all the perfect words they seem so wrong
She's gone
You wish that you could learn to see
The door is closed and you wish you could be
[Chorus]
Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do, I cannot breathe
My heart is torn, for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me
[Verse 2]
Best friend, worst thing, she's been, cheating
Friend deceives, she leaves
Last date. She cries, whispers, goodbye
She walks once more, out that door
[Pre-Chorus]
And all the perfect words they seem so wrong
She's gone
You wish that you could learn to see
The door is closed and you wish you could be
[Chorus]
Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do, I cannot breathe
My heart is torn, for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me
[Bridge]
Please stay, don't go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
Please stay, don't go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
What can I do?
[Outro]
Alone with you, alone with me, what can I do?
I cannot breathe, alone with, alone with
Alone with you, alone with me, what can I do?
I cannot breathe, my heart is torn for all to see
Alone with you, alone with

Why Worry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I worry, I wonder all the time why worry
It's killing me, forget about it
I whisper, remember what she did
Don't miss her
Set me free, she won't allow it
[Pre-Chorus]
Angry and gone, and the list goes on and on
If it's love, I will differ, I'm being lost being with her
[Chorus]
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
[Verse 2]
Believing, the things I did were wrong
I'm leaving
It fades away, forget about it
She's binding, can't do a thing alone
Rewinding
Times before, can't live without it
[Pre-Chorus]
Angry and gone, and the list goes on and on
If it's love, I will differ, I'm being lost being with her
[Chorus]
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
[Verse 3]
I don't know
But you did but you did but you did
Please don't go
Now my feelings for you they're now lost
Because we're through anymore
I'll write you, I'll call you
Now
[Bridge]
I'm being lost being with her
I'm being lost being with her
I'm being lost
Forget about it
[Chorus]
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now

Don’t Leave Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're sweet just like the sun
But what happens when the sun doesn't stay?
The night reminds me when you went away (I don't care, I don't care)
Now my mind was pacing, heart is racing contemplating things that I lack
Even though you left me by myself, do I want you back?
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you stay or will you walk?
Will you let go?
Leave me all alone
I'm giving you one more chance
To make things last
Ring around the roses then she'll stay
[Chorus]
Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Don't look back
Leave me once and I'll be fine
Leave me twice I'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
[Verse 2]
As the days go by, I am asking why did you leave
You left me alone and then you walked out on me (I don't care, I don't care)
Thinking of days, thinking of ways, thinking of things to you that I should say
I want to be with you and that's the only way
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you stay or will you walk?
Will you let go?
Leave me all alone
I'm giving you one more chance
To make things last
Ring around the roses then she'll stay
[Chorus]
Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Don't look back
Leave me once and I'll be fine
Leave me twice I'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
[Bridge]
Don't say good-bye, just dry your eyes
A tear for everything that I did wrong
Don't say goodbye, just dry your eyes
Listen now just try and see me please don't leave me now
[Chorus]
Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Don't look back
Leave me once and I'll be fine
Leave me twice I'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again

Too Far Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I should warn you
Things you're feeling, aren't normal now
Think you need me
It's not easy, let you go some how
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're too far gone
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
Me the burdens bitter taste
[Chorus 1]
You promise that you'd stay
You say you want to go
Your lips provide a shelter for the
Things that I don't know
[Chorus 2]
Speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache
Stop this burning now
[Verse 2]
Wishful thinking
Patience shrinking, bliss is far away
North is calling
Now I'm falling, at your feet please stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're too far gone
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
Me the burdens bitter taste
[Chorus 1]
You promise that you'd stay
You say you want to go
Your lips provide a shelter for the
Things that I don't know
[Chorus 2]
Speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache
Stop this burning
[Chorus 3]
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache
Stop this burning now
[Musical Interlude]
[Chorus 3]
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache
Stop this burning (Asking why)
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning (Asking why)
Teach me heart-ache
Stop this burning now

Drive Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's gone away but still they stay together
People call him crazy, crazy
My thoughts progress, I'm thinking about forever
My mind tells me maybe, maybe
[Chorus]
I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
I'll put it in a note, yeah
I'll cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello, don't you dare say goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
P.S. I love you forever and today
[Verse 2]
Two weeks go by, seems like it's been the weather
The rain falls down, now she's crying, crying
My thoughts progress, she thinks about forever
Their hearts are bound, lying, lying
[Chorus]
I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
I'll put it in a note, yeah
I'll cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello, I'm gonna wave a goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
P.S. I love you forever and today
[Bridge]
All the heartbreak all the pain
All your words you said in vain
And I'll never be the same
[Chorus]
I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
I'll put it in a note, yeah
I'll cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello, I'm gonna wave a goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
P.S. I love you forever and today
[Outro]
Forever and today
Forever and today
P.S. I love you
Forever and today

Happy Endings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time does tell
That even if they say so
She'd be the one that would know
That I did do what I've done
And I wouldn't call it cheating
I'd just say I was leading her on
Why walk while I run away
[Pre-Chorus]
(You) You ask me what went wrong
(Me) I'll write you this last song
(Please) Just tell me one way we can win
(One) One more thing before I go
(Two) The one who loves me so
(Three) Don't make me count to three again
[Chorus]
Happy endings
(Just what did you do)
(If you're a dream then come true)
Stop pretending
(That what you mean isn't what you say)
Hopeful dreaming
(Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same)
Loving, leaving
(Round and round and round we go again)
[Verse 2]
Walks alone, have often lead to thinking
My love for you is sinking to what seems an all time low
Or high, the limits never ending
And don't you know I'm sending
There's no venture I won't go
For you
[Pre-Chorus]
(You) You ask me what went wrong
(Me) I'll write you this last song
(Please) Just tell me one way we can win
(One) One more thing before I go
(Two) The one who loves me so
(Three) Don't make me count to three again
[Chorus]
Happy endings
(Just what did you do)
(If you're a dream then come true)
Stop pretending
(That what you mean isn't what you say)
Hopeful dreaming
(Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same)
Loving, leaving
(Round and round and round we go again)
(Again, again, again, again)
(Again, again, again, again)
[Bridge]
She walks away, she talks away
She walks away
She walks away, she talks away
Away, away
[Chorus]
Happy endings
(Just what did you do)
(If you're a dream then come true)
Stop pretending
(That what you mean isn't what you say)
Hopeful dreaming
(Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same)
Loving, leaving
(Round and round and round we go again)
Happy endings
(Just what did you do)
(If you're a dream then come true)
Stop pretending
(That what you mean isn't what you say)
Hopeful dreaming
(Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same)
Loving, leaving

The Last Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This may be the last thing that I write for long
Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song, for you
And only you?
As I leave, will you be someone to say good-bye?
As I leave, will you be someone to wipe your eye?
My foot is out the door, and you can't stop me now
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back?
Now I'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want?
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know
[Chorus]
As I go, remember all the simple things you know
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song
[Verse 2]
The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
The dream's beginning and the time rolls on
It seems so surreal, now I sing it
Somehow I knew that it would be this way
Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade
Now I am gone, just try and stop me now
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back?
Now I'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want?
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know
[Chorus]
As I go, remember all the simple things you know
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song
[Bridge]
And will you need me now, you'll find a way somehow
You want it too, I want it too
[Chorus]
As I go, remember all the simple things you know
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when I'm gone
Last song
(As I go)
As I go, remember all the simple things you know (Things you know)
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song
