Sweetest Lie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You play your part so easily
You fooled yourself again
With your lipstick smeared
Across some face you'll never see again
And I sat there in the corner
Working back my memories
And I wondered if the time would come
You'd get around to me
[Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh
Living the sweetest lie
Oh oh, oh oh
Living the sweetest lie
[Verse 2]
You made me feel electric
Every moment that we shared
But the light went out when I realized
You never even cared
So I picked myself back up
I didn't know where I had been
And the thing that makes it seem so wrong
Is I want you back again
[Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh
Living the sweetest lie, yeah
Come on baby, give me love
Oh oh, oh oh
Living the sweetest lie, yeah
Come on baby, give me love
[Verse 3]
You know you'll never be taken
Your love will never be taken now
I know you're tired of waking
I know you're tired of waking up
[Chorus]
As I Am Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I tried so hard to make it
Then I watched it slip away
The hardest thing to face
Is the silence in the space
At times I feel so empty through the day
[Bridge]
Can we make it through the darkness
And will we make it through the day
[Chorus]
Calling out for you again, you always find my way
Calling out for you, you know you heal these empty days
And it's all because you take me as I am
And it's all because you take me as I am
[Verse 2]
You know I run to find the answers
What I need to find is you
And I don't need anything
No, I don't need anything
Because I know you always take me as I am
[Bridge]
You know you get me through the darkness
You know youget me through the day
[Chorus]
Calling out for you again, you always find my way
Calling out for you, you know you heal these empty days
And it's all because you take me as I am
And it's all because you take me as I am
Calling out for you again, you always find my way
Calling out for you, you know you heal these empty days
And it's all because you take me as I am
And it's all because you take me as I am
Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A crowded room is full of empty faces
The deepest conversation full of lies
Another night with all my friends
The kind you never see again
I wonder if they'll see through my disguise
And I want to say
That I can't hold back
And it might be wrong
But it's all I have
[Chorus]
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles but I will find you
So take me home
[Verse 2]
It's 3 A.M. and I can't sleep without you
I think I've found the perfect words to say
The satellite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
I'd wake you up from half a world away
And I tried so hard
Tried to be so strong
But you see the cracks
My defenses gone
[Chorus]
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles but I will find you
So take me home
[Outro]
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh, come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh, come take me home tonight
Come take me home
The satellite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
Come take me home
Wake you up from half a world away
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
I'm holding on till I can find you
So take me home
Notbroken Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All I
Waited for
Was a chance to
Make you understand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And tell you these forgotten truths
You never thought were real
And if the world should turn its back
You know that I'm still here
[Chorus]
Time won't ever
Steal my soul
And we're not broken
So please come home
[Verse 2]
Morning comes
And life moves on
And when it changed
You didn't know you belong
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I'll still catch you when you fall
Through a past that steals your sleep
And scrawl these words upon your wall
Remind you to believe
[Chorus 2]
Time won't ever
Steal my soul
We're not broken
So please come home
And if the world
Has worn you down
I'll be waiting
So please come home
[Bridge 1]
I won't let them break you down
And I won't hear the empty sounds
I'm hopelessly pretending
That I know the answer
Angel's light and neon fires
That burn so cold through your desires
And all you are
Is all I need to know
[Bridge 2]
When the world is insane
You get used to the pain
And you don't even know what you feel
And I am like you, all alone and confused
But you know it's not forever
[Chorus 2]
Time won't ever
Steal my soul
We're not broken
So please come home
And if the world
Has worn you down
I'll be waiting
So please come home
Now I Hear Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take time to try and find a light, that shines behind your eyes tonight
I found a deep dark place inside
There's more to both of you than, anyone's expecting here tonight
Wish I could make that right, well
They covered up your eyes
They never gave you nothing more than pain
[Chorus]
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You're throwing it all away
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You're throwing it all away
[Verse 2]
Don't make a sound, we stayed away from all the static on the line
I guess we never stopped to shine
I'd cry aloud if I remembered all the mess I'd left behind
But then I had to lie and
They covered up your eyes
They never gave you nothing more than pain
I come around for you I know
Cause I'm feeling the same way
[Chorus]
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You're throwing it all away
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You're throwing it all away
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You showed us all the way
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You showed us all the way
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You showed us all the way
Now I hear
Yeah I hear
You showed us all the way
Still Your Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Called you up ten years too late
Just to hear your voice again
And though your voice is still the same
I know that something's changed
My words are choked and full of tears
But still you listen to me, dear
And someone's calling you away
And now I understand
[Pre-Chorus]
The time that I've wasted
So bitter and faithless
Is wearing me down now
Down now
[Chorus]
So can you hear me
Or would you sing along?
Or turn me down?
Forget I ever wrote this for you?
So can you hear me
Or has it been too long?
I know that I was wrong
And this is still your song
[Verse 2]
Turn it on and off again
And now I lost another friend
Who waded through my darkest thoughts
When I was sure to drown
And now I pass you on my way
And if you stopped, what could I say?
Apologies for yesterday
Like a fool I walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
The time that I've wasted
So bitter and faithless
Is wearing me down now
Down now
[Chorus]
So can you hear me
Or would you sing along?
Or turn me down?
Forget I ever wrote this for you?
So can you hear me
Or has it been too long?
I know that I was wrong
And this is still your song
[Bridge]
And all I understand
We're here and gone again
Even through a thousand sleepless nights
I fill the page with my beliefs
It's all I have to keep
Tear it up and start again
[Chorus]
So can you hear me
Or would you sing along?
Or turn me down?
Forget I ever wrote this for you?
So can you hear me
Or has it been too long?
I know that I was wrong
And this is still your song
[Outro]
I don't pretend to understand
All the things I put you through
And I don't need forgiveness
But I owe one thing to you
And this is your song
This is your song
Something for the Rest of Us Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was a stranger, and you came to my side
And you said "oh, you're alright now"
And you were so knowing
I felt so lost and confused
[Chorus]
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true
[Verse 2]
I barely knew you, but you talked til' you laughed
Til' you cried out so loud "someone save me"
Oh, black streaks of Maybelline run down your cheeks again
I prayed for answers, you take the chances or refuse
[Chorus]
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true
[Bridge]
Yeah, we belong
Yeah, we belong
Yeah, we belong
Yeah, we belong
[Chorus]
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true
Oh, I need you there
When the nightmares and dreams have come true
Hey Ya Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I could give you
All the things you've been denied
Would it change you?
Would you feel alive?
But all that's left now
Are these words that I've been
Trying to say to you now
And together we'll get by somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
All you ever wanted
Was someone to find
The truth you hide from everyone
Deep inside
[Chorus]
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
[Verse 2]
And I would drown to save you from
The sinking thoughts you feel
And I'll love you just the same
So don't you ever feel ashamed
'Cause we all get tired of fighting
Just to feel like we belong
And I know you feel forgotten
But I've been here all along to say
[Pre-Chorus]
All you ever wanted
Was someone to find
The truth you hide from everyone
Deep inside
[Chorus]
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
[Bridge]
And you hide yourself so deep inside
Will I ever see, ever see you?
Now I'm the one who's been denied
But I believe in you, believe in you
[Chorus]
And hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
[Outro]
You're the only one I want
Soldier Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you came back I knew you'd have a story
You need someone to ease the pain of living life
You're like a soldier in the fray, seeking shelter
From all the madness that you've seen raining down now
[Chorus]
I know things change, your world has slipped away
I know things change, but you're living like a soldier who's caught in the fray
Don't lose your faith, it's not so cold, it's not too late
[Verse 2]
When you were naive you were so invincible
And you laughed at anyone and anything that ever got in your way
But now the mirror shows the change and you don't see that
You're sinking back into the crowd, an echo fading
[Chorus]
I know things change, your world has slipped away
I know things change, but you're living like a soldier who's caught in the fray
Don't lose your faith, it's not so cold, it's not too late
[Verse 3]
And I never thought I'd see
You living on your knees
A slave to some disease
That holds you captive
And you can look inside of me
But the answers that you seek
And everything you need
Is all inside you
[Chorus]
I know things change, your world has slipped away
I know things change, but you're living like a soldier who's caught in the fray
Don't lose your faith, it's not so cold, it's not too late
