My friend she told me such a story but she didn’t know what I knew
I laughed with my friend when she got to the end
I knew we were laughing at you

She told me that you made some money and you got yourself frames on the wall
People come by and they look at your face
And they say it’s the fairest of all

Of course you protest
That’s what you do best
You’re modest and shy to the end

You’re watching them as they’re looking at you
And you know it was money well spent

She told me you’d given up drinking to be with somebody you knew
And you tried to get into the bible
But it never got into you

You’ve still got some loyal disciples I suppose that I’m one of the few
I shouldn’t have laughed 'cause I mean you no harm
But my friend got to me before you

And next time I see you I’ll be pleased to see you
I hope you’ll be pleased to see me
I’ll visit your picture I won’t have the nerve
To tell them that they’ve got you all wrong

Hold me
Even though I know you're leaving
And show me
All the reasons you would stay
It's just enough to feel your breath on mine
To warm my soul and ease my mind
You've got to hold me and show me now

Give me
Just one part of you to cling to
And keep me
Everywhere you are
It's just enough to steal my heart and run
And fade out with the falling sun

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and keep me

Tell me that someday you'll be returning
And maybe
Maybe I'll believe
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really far
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really gone

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and maybe I'll believe

So hold me
Even though I know you're leaving

& we're spinning around in this empty house
no clue where to go, how long things'll last
but all the worries have drifted away
for now they're left in the past

so many empty bottles
all s h a t t e r e d on the floor
pieces of glass littering surfaces
i know i can't live like this anymore

we can't even remember what we took
but whatever it was it was sure as hell good
can't act how we were brought up to be
posh and pretty like I know we should

& i've s m a s h e d my knuckles against the wall
a thousand tears rolling down my face
bent and broken like dolls we lie
hung up against a wall in this dark place

& where i was,
it made me happy and safe, 
i felt that snug feeling,
but now i'm back, 
and it feels like it was a false sense of security
the feeling you get when you just 'think' that everything's 'ok'
but as soon as you leave that paradise, yeh, the feeling fades quick
it goes so fast you don't get a chance to grab it and save it while you can
and all the people are so far away
and without all the love that had been surrounding us
you get pretty lost
and all you're left with is the thought:
that it's only 51 weeks till we can be there together again

If you want to know what that was like,
I’ll tell you first it was way too quiet.


It rained 119 days of the year.
I spent my time falling down the stairs.
I know I can’t tie you to a leash,
but something tells me you’ll go farther than Greece.


And then I’ll have to figure out what to do.
I’m kind of afraid I’m codependent on you.


We’re freaking out that we started breaking down,
before momentum picked up,
Now all these doors are locked.


The trees trick you, ‘cause they’re always standing still.
But time is really racing by.
You can see it when you drive.

Love in, love out, find the feeling
Scream in, scream out, time for healing
You feel the moments gone too soon,
You're watching clouds come over you.

Torn in two,
You close your eyes for some place new,
Torn in two

And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round,
I feel we're going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling

Glow in, burn out,
Lost the feeling
Bruise in, you bruise out,
Nurse the bleeding

Torn in two,
Each time we bruise

And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round,
I feel we're going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling

Yeah yeah, it's just the way I'm feeling

Two different views,
As words confuse and break
I can't get out,
There's no way out of here,
I can't get clear.

Love in, love out
Find the feeling.

And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round,
I feel we're going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling

Yeah, yeah, it's just the way I'm feeling.....

I'm looking for a way to calm these voices in my head
With all this mad confusion
I don't wanna leave this bed
I'm on the run
I'm on the run again
And I don't know which way is left
And there's no point in not being right
So I'll hold my breath till the morning
Till I see the light

I'm on the run
I'm on the run again
From me



I'm drowning in these feelings
And it's scaring me to death
Staring at the ceiling
So many things I could have said

I'm on the run
I'm on the run again

And I don't know which way is left
And there's no point in not being right
So I'll hold my breath till the morning
Till I see the light

its a secret
no-one tells
one day its heaven
one day its hell



its no fairy tale
take it from me
thats the way
it's supposed to be

not waving but drowning



i feel these four walls closing in
my face up against the glass
im looking out
is this my life im wondering
it happened so fast
how do I turn this thing around



wide open spaces far away

i wish it could be that easy
but fear surrounds me like a fence
i wanna break free



all I want is the wind in my hair
to face the fear but, not feel scared



breaklessly abandoning my self before you

damn the consequences

i've learnt to realise how to hide my eyes
how to listen how to breathe



its me again on the phone
can you pick me up and take me home
i've lost my way again

you know what this means again
but you never force me to explain

its me again i need a friend
someone to tell me when
when to stop and when to start

i know i found a special place
somewhere i can keep my secrets safe



& you'll find me in the darkest places
death is a big fascination of mine
