the best thing
03:28
|
|||
|
do you remember when you told me you loved me?
well baby, i do
do you remember when you said that you'd be there?
where the hell were you?
'cause you've been trying to get me to stay
but i've been dying to say that
leaving you was the best thing that i ever did [x2]
& i don't regret it for one damn second
do you remember all those nights we spent together?
well look at us now
do you remember how it felt to be together?
you & me in the clouds
'cause you've been begging me, "please don't go"
but baby, by now you should know
chorus
no, i don't regret it for one damn second [x3]
leaving you was the best thing [x4]
chorus
no, i don't regret it for one damn second [x2]
i don't regret it for one goddamn second

in my head
03:22
|
|||
|
well i made a great first impression
but there would never be a second, no
you wouldn't give me the time that you had
so i had to spend it all alone again
in my head - all alone with you in my head
just the way i like it
i'm not the usual suspect
i like to read & play with cats
i spend most of my time by myself in the library
no, i'm not the usual go-to
i'm the one no one knows in the back of the room
& most people don't think i am capable
of being anything but
alone in my head - all alone with me in my head
just the way i like it
well, it's not that complicated
i'm the only one who knows
it's not like i'm here waiting for you
to return these feelings
'cause i know you won't
in my head - these feelings are alone with me
in my head - just the way i like it
i'm not asking for you to love me
that's not what i need
all i'm asking for in this moment is you
to be here with me
in my head - oh darling be alone with me
in my head - be alone with me

hot & cold love
03:31
|
|||
|
baby, you got me burning up
my heart's a fire & you're the match
& i burn, i burn, i burn with your love
i burn, i burn, i burn with your love
but baby, you got me feeling so cold
my heart is frozen over
so cold, so cold, so cold with your love
so cold, so cold, so cold with your love
you're hot & you're cold
you're hot & you're cold
& i never know which way i like more [x2]
well don't ever stop what you're doing
'cause i can't get enough
i keep on burning & freezing & loving & leaving
& i can't get enough of your hot & cold love
chorus
you're a cigarette that i can't quit
you're a little too much whiskey
but i ain't drunk yet
& i burn, i burn, i burn with your love
said i burn, i burn, i burn with your love
your hot & cold love [x4]

easy
03:29
|
|||
|
it could be so easy to tell you
that nothing's changed
to act like it's all okay & pretend
everything's the same
it'd be so easy to tell everyone that i lied
it was just "something i had to try"
but i'm back now, in my right mind
but life's not easy
i don't make decisions lightly
& i know this one is huge
but how does me learning who i really am
make it difficult for you?
i mean it when i tell you
this has always been in my heart
so please don't say i need to be quiet
as i'm trying to live out loud
'cause if you love me like you say you do
why are you making it so damn hard
for me to speak my truth?
chorus
for every voice in my head who says "be who you are"
there are twenty outside who say "don't"
there are millions of reasons why i could give up
but i'm telling you right now i won't
so if you're happy for me that i'm living my life
why is it suddenly so damn hard
for you to look me in the eye?
chorus
so if you love me like you say you do
why do you only love me if i live like you?
it could be so easy to tell you
that nothing's changed
it could be so easy to pretend everything's the same
yeah it would be so easy to just cover up the truth
oh it would be so easy - so much easier for you

standing right here
04:22
|
|||
|
you're the closest thing i have to call home
but you'll never know
'cause i'm afraid that loving you
will pull me too far from my comfort zone
you're the nearest that i've come to true love
but i'll never say
'cause i'm afraid that loving you
will only end up hurting me
even if i could find the words
what good would it be?
you're so caught up in your ideals
that you'll never see me
i'm standing right here, in front of your eyes
where i've been the whole time
i'm standing right here, holding my heart
hoping that i haven't come this far for you
just to be sent away, because you're afraid, too
if you felt even the smallest of things
would you ever tell?
'cause i would risk all that i have
if it meant i'd have you instead
even if you were mine to hold
why would you want me?
you're so swept up in your own thoughts
that you can't see what we could be
chorus
to say it won't happen
to tell me it could never work
but how can you know if you don't try it first?
chorus
'cause i don't have anywhere to go
& i don't want anyone but you
so please don't send me away because you're afraid

magpies
03:04
|
|||
|
glitter in the air, we are strangers
i had nothing, & i liked it that way
you changed my world & i let you
money talks & i listened in
'cause everybody wants to have the new sensation
& every day we're living out our billboard dreams
but shiny cars & brand-new clothes
don't change what matters
but what matters to you might not matter to me
or are we all magpies with the bright lights
we can't see what we want
so we reach for the shiniest thing we've found
on the ground & we hold it up & say
"hey look at this, i don't know what it is,
but i'm just so proud of it - & no
you can't touch it, 'cause i swear that it's mine"
money makes the world go 'round & 'round
& here i thought it was angular momentum
there's no such things as free in this life
so if you find it cheap
you'd better start collecting
'cause everybody wants to have the new sensation
& every day we're living out our billboard dreams
but fancy houses & king-sized yachts
don't make you matter
but i'm starting to see most people don't agree
but they're just magpies with the bright lights
they can't see what they want
so they reach for the shiniest thing they've found
on the ground & they hold it up & say
"hey look at this, i don't know what it is,
but i'm just so proud of it - & no
you can't touch it, 'cause i swear that it's mine"
"oh, well hey look at this, i don't know
what it is, but i'm so in love with it -
& no, you can't touch it, i swear
that it's mine, 'cause i saw it shine first"
glitter in the air, we are strangers
i had nothing & i liked it that way

would you stay?
03:18
|
|||
|
if i told you i loved you tomorrow
would you say that you loved me today?
if time wasn't ours & we only just borrowed
would you borrow it anyway?
would you stay? would you stay?
would you stay & borrow it anyway?
would you stay? would you stay?
would you stay & love me anyway?
if we had all the things that we wanted
would we need to get more just to breathe?
if all that we ask is right here at our fingertips
could we run & hide from everything?
could we go? could we go?
could we go & find something
that we've never known?
could we go? could we go?
could we go build a love
like no one's ever known?
i am asking these questions
even though i don't want the answers
i am asking you questions
even though i don't want to know
so, would you stay? could we go?
if we leave does that mean
we're afraid of our home?
could we go? should we stay?
if we stay does that mean
it's too late to change?
if i told you i loved you tomorrow
would you say that you loved me today?

best kept secret
03:46
|
|||
|
what makes you so special, that i feel this way?
i just can't figure it out
my friends ask all the time
"what do you see in them?"
& i just can't figure it out
all i know, is every time i see you
my heart tries to skip a beat
but i do my best to hold myself steady
because no one can know about this but me
i didn't even know i loved you for so long
yeah, you are my best kept secret
you came out of nowhere & got me tripping
on my own heart & there's no coming back
from this kind of fall
what makes me so happy when you walk my way?
i just can't figure it out
my friends ask all the time
"well, what do you see in them?"
& i - i just can't figure it out
all i know, is every time i'm near you
my heart tries to fly away
but i do my best to pull myself down
because here on earth is where i've gotta stay
chorus
-i said, you are, you, you, you are, you are, you
you, you are, you are my best kept secret [x2]-
chorus
-bridge-
you are my best kept secret

that's fine
03:10
|
|||
|
did i try too hard to make you love me?
i thought by opening my heart it'd make it easier
but did i wait too long to say hello?
by the time i arrived, it was time for you to go
did i offend you when i said
what you wanted to hear?
were you falling for someone who just wasn't me?
well that's fine, if i'm not
what you're looking for
that's fine, if i'm not what you need
but don't lie & say that it's not you, it's me
it's not like either one of us are
even halfway to perfect - we've both got
our scars & our things we'd like to change
but baby, i thought we were working
& growing together - but now i see
the reality was, you were running away
& that's fine, if i'm not
who you're moving towards
that's find, if i'm not who you love
but don't lie & say that there's
nothing wrong with us
& i realize now, there's not a single thing
i could've done - how could i know
what was going on behind the locked doors
of your heart? i'm sure there were signs
that i let slip & slide on by
'cause for a while, you were still coming home
& that's fine, if i'm not
what you're looking for
that's fine, if i'm not what you need
but don't lie & say that it's just you & me

butterflies
04:13
|

|
i was living so cold, then i saw you
& i got a little hot under the collar
i was cruising & calm, but you drive me crazy
yeah, you get me bothered
do you know, do you know, do you know
do you know that i have a question?
burning up, burning up, burning up
& i gotta have an answer
do you get butterflies when i am by your side?
oh baby, i need to know
'cause i don't typically find it hard to breathe
but right now, my lungs are feeling so shallow
when i look in your eyes, i can see
i can see so deep & i think
"i can't be the only one who's feeling this"
when you're near, when you're near, when you're
near me - i can tell you're inside my head
& my heart, oh my heart's exploding
'cause you turned me around & you said
chorus
-do you get butterflies?
do you get butterflies? do you? [x2]
'cause i need to know-
chorus

what's left
03:16
|

|
i love you in my bones
that you buried long ago
i need you in my dreams
but you never sleep
they're telling me to let you go
they're saying you moved on
but i don't know if we're done - so tell me
what do i do with it? what do i do with it?
what do i do with what's left of this love?
what do i do with it? what do i do with it?
what do i do with what's left of your love?
well once upon a time
it was fairytales & candelight
we'd hold each other while we sleep
but then you changed your mind
they're telling me to let you go
they're saying we can't go back
but all these memories
they won't stay in the past
chorus [x2]
what do i do with what's left of my love?
with the rest of my love

both of us
03:46
|

|
i've been trying to tell you i love you
but you - you don't seem to care
so i will take one last chance
oh but i'm running out of patience
& you've taken all i have left
'cause i learned that you - you love yourself
enough for the both of us & i don't have a chance
to come between you & the mirror
you - you love yourself enough for the both of us
well here we are now, together at last
& you - you promised me this, you said
"i - i will do better at giving you what you need"
oh but you weren't talking to me, oh no
chorus
-& you keep saying you'll do better & you'll
find time to change, but let's be honest
you're too busy staring at your face-
'cause you - you love yourself enough
you love yourself enough & i don't have a chance
i don't have a chance - 'cause you
you love yourself enough for the both of us
