Gone 03:13
Do you ever think about how differently it could have been? Maybe if we had done things differently our love could have worked out Instead of being betrayed with a single kiss Oh if only I had known then what I know now Cos love was the easiest mistake We just seemed to fall in love Cos love was our biggest regret We woke up one day and it was gone Cos love was the easiest mistake We just seemed to fall in love Cos love was our biggest regret We woke up one day and it was gone And as we age the lines on our face show every single smile I'm getting older but emotionally I'm still here with you I couldn't let go I didn't know how to Cos love was the easiest mistake We just seemed to fall in love Cos love was our biggest regret We woke up one day and it was gone Cos love was the easiest mistake We just seemed to fall in love Cos love was our biggest regret We woke up one day and it was gone Cos love was the easiest mistake We just seemed to fall in love Cos love was our biggest regret We woke up one day and it was gone Cos love was the easiest mistake We just seemed to fall in love Cos love was our biggest regret We woke up one day and it was gone

It took a long time to gather the strength to say what I had to say I've been avoiding this for so long baby it's almost driven me crazy I don't know how to break your heart easy All I know is I've gotta tell you the truth Well it got kinda complicated baby And I just couldn't fight anymore for you I woke up one morning and I fell out of love It's as simple as that It's as simple as that I woke up one morning and I fell out of love It's as simple as that It's as simple as that And I never meant for this to happen But you should know there is nobody else involved You've got your dignity You should hold your head high You did nothing wrong Really this was me this time It's me this time I woke up one morning and I had fallen out of love It's as simple as that It's as simple as that I woke up one morning and I'd fallen out of love It's as simple as that It's as simple as that I woke up one morning and I had fallen out of love It's as simple as that It's as simple as that I woke up one morning and I'd fallen out of love It's as simple as that It's as simple as that Baby you can hold your head high You did nothing wrong You don't need to feel any less Baby you can hold your head up high Cos baby you did nothing wrong You treated me right I woke up one morning and I'd fallen out of love It's as simple as that It's as simple as that I woke up one morning and I'd fallen out of love It's as simple as that As simple as that

Mistake 03:07
I've made a lot of mistakes But you are not one of them I loved you on purpose and with all of my strength I've never loved anyone the way I loved you that night and I never will I've never loved anyone the way I loved you that night and I never will It was a taste of paradise I'll never taste again I'll never be your lover again It was a taste of paradise I'll never taste again I'll never be your lover again It was a taste of paradise You weren't a mistake oh no It was a taste of paradise You weren't a mistake oh no Oh you never saw it coming I know Oh I know my behaviour cannot be excused And I have no dignity left after what I did to you And I should have more sense than come back But I came back for you I couldn't move on cos my life should be here with you It was a taste of paradise You weren't a mistake oh no It was a taste of paradise You weren't a mistake oh no You weren't a mistake You weren't a mistake You weren't a mistake oh no You weren't a mistake You weren't a mistake You weren't a mistake oh no You're a taste of paradise A taste of paradise A taste of paradise You're a taste of paradise A taste of paradise A taste of paradise You were no mistake

Statues 03:04
Everything is changing but we are standing oh so perfectly still The whole world is re-arranging but we can't react phrases like freedom were something we used to understand once upon a time ago but now we are frozen in time Did we lose our minds or has the whole world gone crazy? Everything is changing but it feels like we are standing perfectly still We are the statues unchanging over time Everything is changing but it feels like we are standing perfectly still We are the statues unchanging over time Once new and shiny soon degrades and turns to dust I guess our futures were the one thing that we couldn't rush No one knows what tomorrow will bring But have we thrown it all away? Everything is changing but it feels like we are standing perfectly still We are the statues unchanging over time Everything is changing but it feels like we are standing perfectly still We are the statues unchanging over time Everything is changing

When we were the young ones the world was full of fire When we were the young ones our hearts were full of desires But now we are getting older some of that passion is gone We've lost loved ones along the way and gained new Love in the process And everything we valued has changed on decayed in time So where do we belong now our identities have been erased? When we were the young ones the world was full of fire When we were the young ones our hearts were full of desires Now our children are the young ones The future's face couldn't be more different Our vales and disillusionment won't affect them They live in better times of equality and liberty the past is something they read about in books When we were the young ones the world was full of fire When we were the young ones our hearts were full of desires When we were the young ones the world was full of fire When we were the young ones our hearts were full of desires oh desire oh desires of the young Oh when we were the young ones the world was full of fire When we were the young ones
9.
We've been through the wars together I thought we would be friends forever But now I see now naive I have been Cos it's clear you've been playing me But I can't just surrender you here and now Give me one more night with you Just leave me one more memory to cling to So tell me you love me even if it is just one more lie So tell me you want me even if it is just for tonight So tell me you love me even if it is just one more lie So tell me you want me even if it is just for tonight Just for tonight In the morning don't say a word just leave Make it easy to let you go If you don't call me I promise I won't call you Let us just pretend we are strangers after tonight So tell me you love me even if it is just one more lie So tell me you want me even if it is just for tonight So tell me you love me even if it is just one more lie So tell me you want me even if it is just for tonight Just for tonight Just for tonight Just for tonight Just for tonight

Wicked 02:30
I have walked in your shoes Marched up and down Sauchiehall Street looking for you I've heard you sing the blues You excel at everything you do Compared to you I'm a loser but I'm happy in my own skin I don't need to create friction just to feel something The things you say are so cruel The things you do are toxic too There is something wicked about you you rank everything by beauty You rate yourself a 10 On the outside you deserve it But what about what is in within? You can be so nasty and you don't need a reason to strike Everyone who knows you is afraid to get on your bad side The things you say are so cruel The things you do are toxic too There is something wicked about you The things you say are so cruel The things you do are toxic too There is something wicked about you The things you say are so cruel The things you do are toxic too There is something wicked about you
11.
I don't envy you I wouldn't want to be you tonight I saw her eyes glaze over and all the warning signs Suggest you've really gone and done it tonight Oh you've started a fight, yeah you've started a fight I can tell by the way she talks she is ready to pounce on you You should know better than pick a fight that you can't win You should know better than to let her down again Because woman scorned is out to get you A woman scorned she'll hate and reject you A woman scorned is out to get you A woman scorned she'll hate and reject you You should have hid that comic book collection that you cherish so much You shouldn't have left those Gucci jeans on the bathroom floor unattended You might think she has gone overboard but tell me what else did you expect? You should know better then pick a fight you can't win You should know better than to let her down again Because a woman scorned is out to get you A woman scorned she'll hate and reject you A woman scorned is out to get you A woman scorned she'll hate and reject you A woman scorned is out to get you A woman scorned she'll hate and reject you A woman scorned is out to get you A woman scorned

You've really gone and done it this time And this is the final time I'm taking what little self respect I have left and leaving Please don't call, text, or email I've left this chapter behind Sometimes it is better to leave some things unsaid And I will learn to love again My heart will eventually mend And I will learn one day at a time how to trust again You've taken away a little piece of me But I will reclaim all I've lost You held my heart in the palm of your hand And the damn things got crushed I'll learn to love again My heart will eventually mend And I will learn one day at a time how to trust again I will learn how to love again Oh love again Oh love again And I will learn one day at a time how to love again And I will learn to love again My heart will eventually mend And I will learn one day at a time how to trust again
