Lover after me

Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn’t think of you today
It’s been 7 months and counting you moved on I still feel exactly the same
It’s just that everywhere I go all the buildings know you name
like photographic memories of love
Stealing granite from my touch
The city calls your name but I cant move on

Ever since you’ve been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love, to your lover now
To your love,The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe, there’s no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn’t want it anyway
So this is my new freedom Its funny, I don’t remember been chained
And nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you I’m always 20 minutes late

Ever since you’ve been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love, to your lover now
To your love, The lover after me

And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn’t be holding on
But I’m still holding on for you

Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn’t think of you today
But I’m standing at your doorway
I’m calling out your name cause I can’t move on

Ever since you’ve been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love to your lover now
To you love, The lover after me

Two beds and a coffee machine

And she takes another step, slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping, pick up all the broken glass, and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming, now its time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide, another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road you keep moving
Another stop sign you keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

And there’s children to think of, baby’s asleep in the back seat
I wonder how they’ll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy and she knows she’ll have to go home

Another ditch in the road you keep moving
Another stop sign you keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide, another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
There’s hope in the darkness, you know your ganna make it.

Another ditch in the road you keep moving
Another stop sign you keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Selling fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it.

I dont know you anymore

I would like to visit you for a while, get away and out of this city.
Maybe I shouldn’t have called but someone had to be first to break
We can go sit on the back porch, relax, talk about anything, it don’t matter
I’ll be coragious if you can pretend that you’ve forgiven me

Cause I don’t know you anymore, I don’t recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn’t do to see your face again.

Springtime in the city always such relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone’s got an agenda, don’t stop.
Keep that chin up, you’ll be alright
Can you believe what a year its been, now your still the same
Has your opinion changed?

Cause I don’t know you anymore, I don’t recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn’t do to see your face again.

I know I let you down again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I’ve paid the price, I’m still praying for it everyday.

So maybe I shouldn’t have called, what’d to do?
Someone to tell, what the hell? It doesn’t matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name
Has your opinion changed?

Cause I don’t know you anymore, I don’t recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn’t do to see your face again.

I see your face again
I see your face again.

Hold me

Hey
if we can’t find a way out of these problems
then maybe we don’t need this
Standing face to face, enemies at war,
we build defences and secret hiding places

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it’s alright
I might need you to make the first step
Cause tonight I’m finding it hard to be your man

Hey
more than angry words I hate this silence,
its getting so loud
Well I want to scream,
the bitterness has silenced these emotions, it’s getting hard to breath
So tell me isn’t happiness worth more than a golden diamond ring
I’m willing to do anything to calm this storm in my heart
I’ve never been the praying kind,
but lately I’ve been down upon my knees
In not looking for a miracle, just a reason to believe

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say its alright
I might need you to make the first step
Cause tonight I’m finding it hard to be your man

Do you remember not long ago, we used to live for the night time, cherish each moment.
Now we don’t live, we exist,
were just going through our lives, so alone.
So you gotta hold me.

Hey
if we cant find a way out of these problems
then maybe we don’t need this
Standing face to face, enemies at war,
we build defences, and secret hiding places.

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say its alright
I might need you to make the first step
Cause tonight I’m finding it hard to be your man

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
