Broken Love
03:58

I don't want to lose
What's me and what's you
But I can see that's what's going on
Oh you know it's true
Don't make me choose
Between this broken love
Yeah
The tree doesn't grow anymore
It just casts a shadow over the hall
What roots used to guide me
Have made their home
Nailing my legs to the floor
Don't you know what I mean
Pushed down but barely unseen
Your voice is drowned
By the sound
Of the falling of leaves
The pictures of our life
Just a controlling device
To keep us down to the ground
Quiet don't say a word
I don't want to lose
What's me and what's you
But I can see that's what's going on
Oh you know it's true
Don't make me choose
Between this broken love
Yeah
Back in time
You and I
There were things you can't deny
Time moves on
But I'm the one
Who needs to shatter the mirror
Shards they fall
Hope and all
But it's time to start our
Lives again
Don't you know what I mean
Pushed down but barely unseen
Your voice is drowned
By the sound
Of the falling of leaves
The pictures of our life
Just a controlling device
To keep us down to the ground
Quiet don't say a word
I don't want to lose
What's me and what's you
But I can see that's what's going on
Oh you know it's true
Don't make me choose
Between this broken love
Love
Love
Love
Don't you know what I mean
Pushed down but barely unseen
Your voice is drowned
By the sound
Of the falling of leaves
The pictures of our life
Just a controlling device
To keep us down to the ground
Quiet don't say a word

Mayflies In The Mirror
03:03

The older we get, the shorter each year becomes
I wish I could travel back through time and meet you a little sooner
In a universe of a billion years we live like mayflies, trying to leave a mark
But the best we can do is hold our loved ones close
And take each day as they come
I can't possible describe how small I am feeling next to you
When I look into a mirror, the truth is never clearer
Looking back it's only me and you
And we're running and we go
Each night I dream of other lives I've lived
Or other possibilities
Each one a nightmare when compared to which with you I lead
Wrap me in the earth and keep me where you want me
There is nowhere I'd rather to be
The warmth of suffocation
Seems so sweet compared to the cold of isolation
I can't possible describe how small I am feeling next to you
When I look into a mirror, the truth is never clearer
Looking back it's only me and you
And we're running and we go
It feels so strange to me to have someone to hold
It feels so strange to me to have someone at all
It feels so strange to me to have someone to hold
It feels so strange to me to have someone at all
I can't possible describe how small I am feeling next to you
When I look into a mirror, the truth is never clearer
Looking back it's only me and you
And we're running and we go go go go go
We're running and we go go go go go
We're running and we go go go go go
We're running and we go go go go go
We're running and we go

I'll be twenty two in a few months
But I feel more like seventeen
I don't know where my life has gone
I don't know why this feels like a dream
My memories should be clear to me
But a haze is etched across my brain
I look back at all the years I've had
But every day is just the same
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
No point playing it safe cause tomorrow soon becomes yesterday
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
The wrinkles on your hands all say
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
My body feels older than my mind
It's like a part of me I still have to find
Seeing those around me age
I'm not yet prepared to cross that line
Photographs across the tree
Both beautiful yet I still grieve
For the younger me
Cause what grows aren't leaves
And I wait, I watch, the bark will bleed
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
No point playing it safe cause tomorrow soon becomes yesterday
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
The wrinkles on your hands all say
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away

Hope You Miss Me

Hey, please just look my way
Tell me what's on your mind
Tell me that we're ok
Now, please just let me down
Put me out of this pain
You've locked me in for so long
So long
When you go, don't look back
Let me become part of your past
When you go, don't look back
Let me become part of your past
When you see what I've become, I hope you miss me
When you see what I've become, I hope you realise what we could've been
These past three months I've been led away
Three months led astray
What does that mean for me now?
So say what you want to say
Before it chokes you up
Before i choke you first
When you go, don't look back
Let me become part of your past
When you go, don't look back
Let me become part of your past
When you see what I've become, I hope you miss me
When you see what I've become, I hope you realise what we could've been
What we could've seen
Everything we've known
Building up to this
What we could've been
What we could've seen
Everything we've known
Building up to this
When you go, don't look back
Let me become part of your past
When you go, don't look back
Let me become part of your past
When you see what I've become, I hope you miss me
When you see what I've become, I hope you realise what we could've been
When you see what I've become, I hope you miss me
When you see what I've become, I hope you realise what we could've been

Sometime I think I'm not quite right in the head
You know like those psychos who are better of dead
Or maybe that's just what someone I used to know once said
Sometimes I think I'm not right in the head
Nah don't you judge nah don't you just assume
You know when you're thinking of killing everyone in the room
Thinking of removing their eyes with a spoon
Nah don't you judge nah don't assume
Better off dead
Better off dead
Nah it's just lies I tell myself when I'm lying in bed
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
Nah it's just in your head now forget what they said
Oh it's just in your head
Do you catch yourself drifting
Do you feel your mind shifting
When you close your eyes for too long
Well clench your fists don't say nothing
Just because your thoughts are broken
Doesn't mean your heart is wrong
Better off dead
Better off dead
Nah it's just lies I tell myself when I'm lying in bed
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
Nah it's just in your head now forget what they said
Oh it's just in your head
Better off dead
Better off dead
Nah it's just lies I tell myself when I'm lying in bed
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
Nah it's just in your head now forget what they said and get out of your bed
It's just in your head
