Vices Or Virtues 02:50
lyrics

V1 Lying awake at night it's hard to fall asleep Knowing you're out there, turning the other cheek CH I'm Burning up my lungs Calming my mind with nowhere to go and nowhere to hide These are my vices or are they my virtues they do the same they keep me sane. V2 I can see you through the smoke And I know how toys get broke now I hope and I pray that I'll forget you someday CH I'm Burning up my lungs Calming my mind with nowhere to go and nowhere to hide These are my vices or are they my virtues they do the same they keep me... Burning up my lungs Calming my mind with nowhere to go and nowhere to hide These are my vices or are they my virtues they do the same they keep me alive alive.

Better as a memory 02:24

Intro Better as a memory, It's all changed now I can see, What we had was good enough to put up in a photograph. Better as a memory, I can't go back and you should see. What will be, it will be. V1 We had the best of times, thinking back we did it right. what can I say? Chorus (You were) Better as a memory, It's all changed now I can see, What we had was good enough to put up in a photograph. Better as a memory, I can't go back and you should see. What will be, it will be. Better as a memory, It's all changed now I can see, What we had was good enough to put up in a photograph. Better as a memory, I can't go back and you should see. What will be, it will be. V2 On the day, It all changed I'll remember for the rest of my days. It all turned around. Chorus (You were) Better as a memory, It's all changed now I can see, What we had was good enough to put up in a photograph. Better as a memory, I can't go back and you should see. What will be, it will be. Better as a memory, It's all changed now I can see, What we had was good enough to put up in a photograph. Better as a memory, I can't go back and you should see. What will be, it will be.

V1 When you have the weight of the world, on your shoulders. you feel the pain of everyone you know and everyone you don't. Chorus 1 Is anyone really listening or don't they understand? I'm crying out for help. Is anyone really listening or don't they understand? I'm crying out for help, please take my hand. V2 Please just hold me, till it all blows over. Hold my hand. I need you more ever, it's too much bare. It doesn't affect you so why should you care? Chorus 2 Are you really listening or don't you understand? I'm crying out for help. Are you even listening or don't you even care? I'm falling apart and you're over there. [Instrumental] Chorus 3 Are you really listening, or don't you understand? I'm crying out for help, please take my hand. Are you even listening, or don't you fucking care? I'm falling apart. Outro You pretend to care. when push comes to shove, you're never there.

V1 There is something you should know, I need to let you go! I've tried and tried. There is something you should know You broke my soul! Chorus I want to forget! I have my regrets It's not you but how it ended It's not you, it's just me! I want to forget! V2 People say that it takes time and maybe one day I'll realise that what you said has gone and been But what you did can still be seen! Chorus I want to forget! I have my regrets! It's not you but how it ended It's not you, it's just me! I want to forget! I have my regrets! It's not you just how this ended. Bridge I just wanna run away! I hate who I am! I miss who I was! I just wanna run away! I hate who I am! I miss who I was! Chorus I want to forget! I have my regrets It's not you but how it ended It's not you, it's just me! It's not you, just it ended It's not you, it's just me!

Always 03:34
lyrics

V1 I've been searching for so long To find what I need I tried so many different things. From alcohol to nicotine They just don’t hit the spot… like you. CH It's always been you Always been you To pick up the pieces of this broken boy It's always been you Always been you You make me feel anew always been you V2 You've seen all my bad days and even my good, you saw the best of me when I don't think I could, I was hopelessly blinded, From what was right there before my eyes! CH It's always been you Always been you To pick up the pieces of this broken boy It's always been you Always been you You make me feel anew always been you Outro It's always been you Always been you To pick up the pieces of this broken boy It's always been you Always been you You make me feel anew always been you

Awakened 02:24
lyrics

V1 This nightmare starts again, Round and round in my head again. Day in day out, What is life all about? Ch I felt like I have been awakened from the shame I have escaped all the pain I have been awakened from this dream I felt like I have been awakened from the shame I have escaped all the pain I have been awakened from this dream V2 Time has passed, I have healed The dreams have stopped, life feels real. I myself have changed my ways, For the good, I'll stay the same. Ch I felt like I have been awakened from the shame I have escaped all the pain I have been awakened from this dream I felt like I have been awakened from the shame I have escaped all the pain I have been awakened from this dream

V1 If you had told me, 5 years ago I’d be 23 and married in a house my own I’d say what have you been smoking I’m just lost down broken There’s nowhere left to go I’ve run out of all hope If you had told me that 5 years ago I don’t even know CH1 Day after day night after night It had regressed to an I just might I just might lose my head and who wants that pain in the end Where is the light at the end of this tunnel I’m under all this pressure where I think I might just buckle We were both so high, now we are both low We both so high and now we are low. V2 I’m losing my mind, I’m losing sleep So many decisions, I just can’t even speak Two years of saving then it’s time for some kids I’m lucky and I’m hopeful but I’m still full of fear. If you had told me five years ago My life was all planned out and I’d be full of hope If you had told me five years ago If you had told me five years ago I don’t even know. CH2 Day after day night after night It had regressed to an I just might I just might lose my head and who wants that pain in the end Where is the light at the end of this tunnel I’m under all this pressure where I think I might just buckle We were both so high, now we are both low We both so high and now we are low.

Differently The Same 02:03
lyrics

V1 On the outside, We may be different, But we are the same deep inside. We work differently we have our traits We are differently the same. Chorus Just love one another for who we are, It doesn't matter that we all have scars. We love different things and love different ways. We're just people in this fucked up place. Love one another for who we are, It doesn't matter that we all have scars. We love different things and love different ways. We're just people in this fucked up place. V2 We're different shapes and different sizes different colours with different vices. Don't be cruel and don't be mean and don't you make a fucking scene. Chorus Just love one another for who we are, It doesn't matter that we all have scars. love different things and love different ways. We're just people in this fucked up place. love one another for who we are, It doesn't matter that we all have scars. love different things and love different ways. We're just people in this fucked up place.

V1 When the clouds fill the sky You know the time is nigh The rain is coming now! Chorus 1 I need you to hold me hold me, tight. Time is running out Hold me hold me now! V2 I guess I was a little too late You are gone gone gone! You keep the rain from falling Chorus 2 I need you to hold me hold me the rain is coming now I need you to hold me hold me and make it all right Hold me hold me tight
