It doesn’t only hurt for you Are we coming to an end I can see you hurt so well I just can’t watch it all again All of your excuses you never All of your excuses you never All of your excusesI heard them all before You never seem to want more You’re so accepting of my faults It somehow makes me twice as bad Maybe I am just the girl Maybe I am just the girl Don’t you think that maybeI am just the girl That you never should have What is it worth to you What is it worth to me All of your excuses you never All of your excuses you never All of your excusesI heard them all before Am I ever worth more All of your excuses you never All of your excuses you never All of your excusesI heard them all before You never seem to want more

Tell me this, why are you still here I can’t believe, after all I left you standing for years Paid your fare, stayed by my side Again and again All for a no-show ride Do you see something that I don’t My heart’s in piecesI can’t share, not that I won’t Held your hope, maybe once or twice Again and again and again and again I’ve seen a glimpse of you Playing it slowing Again and again and again and again Somewhere a glimpse of me Passes you slowly Again and again Tell me now where do we begin Can’t get back to the start As much as we’d like to and then Paid my fare, I’ll stay by your side Again and again Can I say I’ve even tried Let me see something I have missed My heart’s in piecesI can’t bear every lost kiss Lost your hope maybe once or twice Again and again and again and again I’ve seen a glimpse of you Playing it slowing Again and again and again and again Somewhere a glimpse of me Passes you slowly Again and again Can you say was I ever yours Is it too late to try Paid your fare, stayed by my side Again and again All of these tears we have cried There is something we both share All in pieces Met your hope, maybe once or twice Again and again and again and again I’ve seen a glimpse of you Playing it slowing Again and again and again and again Somewhere a glimpse of me Passes you slowly Again and again

Take Me 05:30
Are you careful When you look my way Is it easy All those words you say Is it worth it Dragging me along Is it worth it Do you feel anything at all You can break me You can take me It’s where you want to go Why don’t you take me I am frozen here in time Why don’t you take me Just a little more and you’ll be mine Go on and take me Do you have it Because I let you in Do you practice Each and every sin Is it worth it Coming here each day Is it worth it To never want to stay You can break me You can take me It’s where you want to go Why don’t you take me I am frozen here in time Why don’t you take me Just a little more and you’ll be mine Go on and take me Are you sorry It was you who made me fall Are you able To feel anything at all Is it worth it To whisper in my ear Is it worth it To watch me disappear

Boy Of Blue 05:19
Broken Boy Keep to yourself The secrets I see Eating yourself Tasting each one carefully Not as good as it could be Tasting each one Sad and then Doing it all over again I am just a ghost of a girl Looking into your little world Behind your eyes Take on your shape Inside it all will break Dance your dance Plan your escape Boy of blue Always alone Now they’ve become my own Your secrets to the bone 13 since what happened then I am here you reached the end Through your eyes I still can see Much better than it should be Boy of blue So much pain Now you do it all over again Never even an end for you I hear you speak, speak the truth Behind your eyes Take on your shape Inside it all will break Dance your dance Plan your escape Boy of blue Always alone Now they’ve become my own Your secrets to the bone Behind… Your eyes…

Pieces 06:14
It is now familiar This little game I play I’m split down the middle Because of anything you say A lake of fire Or a sea of sin I’m diving in I pick up the pieces Like I knew I should Put them all together Never felt so good Inch by inch I place them Back where they belong All those fragile pieces Will be lost before too long What is real or not real What is just a fact I inch my way across the line And do my balance act I survey the damage Decide what I will keep It’s a large collection That carries me to sleep A lake of fire Or a sea of sin I’m diving in Break what has been broken Fix but never heal It’s time to face the angels With all that I conceal Sew it all together By myself again Miles and miles of thread to go Before I reach the end A lake of fire Or a sea of sin I’m diving in
10.
As I wait for your return When you arrive What’s missing feels complete We never speak and break the spell We know what we have is our defeat We’re entwined with silver threads We’re dancing all around ourselves instead But I may be breaking The way you hold me almost hurts I watch the other you that isn’t mine Best to keep it to myself Or will I say something this time? We’re entwined with silver threads We’re dancing all around ourselves instead Can’t you see me breaking What was easy now is harder Than it was just yesterday And what once seemed so familiar Now is something you no longer say That part of you that isn’t mine Is no longer enough
