You're always checking your phone but you think that I haven't noticed Always texting her all night long You've forgotten I need attention and a little affection You've grown cold and distant There ain't no turning back Oh I tried resisting but now I know I gotta leave Give me one last kiss A final taste of bliss Before I say goodbye Oh make this our last kiss A final taste of bliss Before I say goodbye So give me one last kiss A final taste of bliss Before I say goodbye I made up my mind I'm not coming back this time Because I can't forget and forgive So take my number out your phone Please don't try to find me I'm starting over all alone It's what I need right now It's the best thing for the both of us Yeah it's what I need Give me one last kiss A final taste of bliss Before I say goodbye Oh make this our last kiss A final taste of bliss Before I say goodbye So give me one last kiss A final taste of bliss Before I say goodbye

I did love you but I'm in love with someone else Yeah I know what I am throwing away I tried to warn you I wasn't ready to love again But you pursued me so Persistently  that I believed it was meant to be I believed it was meant to be But my heart is breaking cos I'm love with someone else The harder I try to hide it the deeper it stang me I'm in love with someone else Never meant to break your heart The harder I tried the deeper it ached I knew it would end like this That is why I tried not to get involved My heart is breaking cos I'm love with someone else The harder I try to hide it the deeper it stang me I'm in love with someone else My heart is breaking Cos I'm in love with someone else The harder I try to hide it the deeper it stang me I'm in love with someone else Yeah my heart is breaking Cos I'm in love with someone else The harder I try to hide it the deeper it stang me I'm in love with someone else I'm in love with someone else

I think I loved you a little too much I just wanted you I didn't think of the cost It was deeper than I could afford Just trying to hold on to you was tough With every step I knew I was losing you With every breath the distance between us grew Sometimes it's just not meant to be And one of these things is you and me Sometimes it's just not meant to be And one of these things is you and me So catch your breath don't cry it's for the best You've got a whole life to find the right one I know you deserve to be loved truly And I could never give you everything you need There would always be a missing piece I could never make you complete Sometimes it's just not meant to be And one of these things is you and me Sometimes it's just not meant to be And one of these things is you and me Sometimes it's just not meant to be And one of these things is you and me Sometimes it's just not meant to be And one of these things is you and me Oh it's not meant to be Oh it's not meant to be Oh it's not meant to be You and me You and me

My Eyes 02:54
I'd never known anything like this I felt so touched Like finally I felt And I know you don't know me but I feel some kinda affinity When you looked into my eyes I felt a spark When you looked into my eyes I felt a spark Oh when you looked into my eyes I could feel a spark There ain't anything I wouldn't do for you and I would crawl on glass for you Walk on hot coals too Whatever I have to do When I looked into your eyes I felt a spark like it was electrifying I felt a spark when you looked into my eyes I I fell for you Oh Oh I I fell for you I I fell for you I I fell for you When you looked into my eyes I knew that you were the right one for me Oh when you looked into my eyes I knew

Up to You 03:18
You told me that I wasn't what you expected on our first date I didn't know whether to be flattered or hurt Oh the years have changed us both but deep down we still feel the same Still madly in love Still madly in love I did try to make an effort to see you but it never was the right time You were always with someone else I don't know what to say I don't know what to do My heart is telling me to hold on to you and never let you go But it's not my decision it is up to you It's not my decision it is up to you What you gonna do? What you gonna do? What you gonna do? I know what you are thinking it couldn't really work At times I've told myself that as well It's a matter of what you want And that is all I need to know if you want me back Never mind the gossip Never mind the past Never mind what anyone else thinks It's just what you want is that I wanna know? If you feel the same If you were honest with yourself we both belong together I don't know what to say I don't know what to do My heart is telling me to hold on to you and never let you go But it's not my decision it is up to you it is up to you What you gonna do? What you gonna do? What you gonna do? What you gonna do?

Stand by You 02:52
I guess my invitation got lost in the post You wouldn't go without saying goodbye I've told myself so many lies I don't know what the truth is any more oh will you tell me again what am I missing? Was there something in our passionate kissing that should have warned me you are playing a game Just playing with my heart Just playing with my heart I still need you I still want you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I still need you I still want you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I guess I shoulda been a little more cautious I guess I shoulda seen this one coming I guess I shoulda braced myself for the impact I guess I shoulda been so hooked on you I guess I shoulda known what I was getting myself into I still need you I still want you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I still need you I still want you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I still need you I still want you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I still need you I still want you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you

Just like you predicted I made the same old mistakes that I always make I took you for granted and I didn't give you enough reasons to stay but if it's any consolation my heart is breaking My heart is breaking My heart is breaking just like yours My heart is breaking My heart is breaking just like yours I guess that was our last embrace What a way to make an impression You know I love you but I just can't help myself My heart is breaking My heart is breaking just like yours My heart is breaking My heart is breaking just like yours My heart is breaking My heart is breaking just like yours Just like yours

Ego 03:17
You spend so long looking at your reflection it is clear you're in love, in love with yourself Your number one priority is you at all times You let me know you are the best thing to happen to me and I oughtta be grateful for what I receive Yes I did love you but you were too busy loving yourself There was no room for me in your life Yes I did love you but you were too busy loving yourself There was no room for me in your life Living with you never was easy You had to be right even when you were wrong You always overlooked my point of view Yes I did love you but you were too busy loving yourself There was no room for me in your life Yes I did love you but you were too busy loving yourself There was no room for me in your life You've got such an ego You've got such an ego You've got such an ego You've got such an ego Yes I did love you but you were too busy loving yourself There was no room for me in your life Yes I did love you but you were too busy loving yourself There was no room for me in your life

It was the sweetest ecstasy loving you You filled my heart with joy and love The only sorrow was having to say goodbye so soon And I will love you until my last breath This love will never change Oh oh it's the bitterest pill to swallow to have to let you go Oh yeah it's the bitterest pill to swallow to lose you so soon Oh oh the bitterest pill to swallow to have to say goodbye All that is left is old photographs and faded letters Postcards from far away places But I will remember you always in my heart And this love will last forever This love will never change Oh to be still under your spell completely I will love you til my last breath This love will last forever Oh oh it's the bitterest pill to swallow to have to let you go Oh yeah it's the bitterest pill to swallow to lose you so soon Oh oh the bitterest pill to swallow to have to say goodbye
10.
Thank-you for your correspondence that I didn't ask for yet I received You don't seem to have done much with your life so why do think you are qualified to advise me My career choices are entirely my decision And frankly none of this is your business Thank-you but no thanks I don't want your opinion It doesn't mean anything to me Thank-you but no thanks keep your opinions to yourself Cos you are the only one that cares about them You must be crazy if you think I'll quit just cos you want me to If I had listened to bad advice I would have done nothing with my life Then I would be walking in your shoes In your shoes Thank-you but no thanks I don't want your opinion It doesn't mean anything to me Thank-you but no thanks keep your opinions to yourself Cos you are the only one that cares about them Thank-you but no thanks I don't want your opinion It doesn't mean anything to me Thank-you but no thanks keep your opinions to yourself Cos you are the only one that cares about them Thank-you but no thanks I don't want your opinion It doesn't mean anything to me

I was contemplating the meaning of this life I was just scraping by I wasn't looking for what you offered me But I couldn't decline You made me feel like I was reborn You made me feel so alive For the first time in my life I'm content with my life You are the sweetest mistake You are the prettiest sight You are my favourite addiction You are the love of my life People gossip but it doesn't matter I know where I stand with you So let them do their worst if they want to Words can't wound us if we stay together As long as I have you I'm okay I can face anything As long as I have you You are the sweetest mistake You are the prettiest sight You are my favourite addiction You are the love of my life Together we are untouchable So take my hand and hold it tight I know I've found my perfect match All I need is your love in my life All I need is your love in my life Love is all I need You are the sweetest mistake You are the prettiest sight You are my favourite addiction You are the love of my life You are the sweetest mistake You are the prettiest sight You are my favourite addiction You are the love of my life
