Well I know what you are thinking You are thinking how the hell did we get into this mess? Yeah I know we are sinking We buried our heads in quicksand Did we know what we were doing? Or is this exactly how we planned it? If we can't be together are we self destructing? Maybe we need to face the facts This is the end of our adventure together Maybe it's time to let go Maybe this love was never meant to be Maybe this love is just fantasy Maybe it's time to set you free Maybe this love was never meant to be When I look to the future I can't imagine you not being there It fills my heart with sorrow just to think of saying goodbye I know if this love just belongs in fiction I know if this love is just way too destructive I know I should let it go I know I should let it go Sometimes it's for the best to give up the thing you want the most But I don't have that kinda strength No I don't have that kinda strength Cos I just wanna hold on Yeah I just wanna hold on Maybe this love was never meant to be Maybe this love is just fantasy Maybe it's time to set you free Maybe this love was never meant to be Maybe this love was never meant to be Maybe this love is just fantasy Maybe it's time to set you free

On Your Side 03:26
Baby I know that you are hurting And I know that you need somebody to blame But baby you are taking it out on the wrong one Cos baby I am on your side Life isn't fair we both have learned that It's so fleeting so hard to hang on to But baby I really do need you And baby I feel you need me too Baby we are in this together It's the rest of the world versus us Baby we are in this together I am on your side Watching the days go by so quickly Please don't waste your time being bitter Learn to live again Learn to love again Please take my hand Walk by my side Baby we are in this together It's the rest of the world versus us Baby we are in this together I am on your side I am on your side

I Fucked Up 03:10
I met you at the ABC in Glasgow in 2008 I knew you were with the band straight away I recognised your face But it was your cute accent that gave you away I would have loved to spend the night with you But I had baggage in my way I shoulda been your girlfriend but I fucked up I would have rocked your world but it's tough luck I shoulda been your girlfriend but I fucked up Could we start again or at least be friends? I was on a mission to drink myself into a stupor I couldn't help myself I had already pressed self destruct The auto countdown had commenced There was no turning back at that point So I guess that's why I should have been more attentive but I had trouble on my mind I shoulda been your girlfriend but I fucked up I would have rocked your world but that's tough luck I shoulda been your girlfriend but I fucked up Could we start again or at least be friends? I shoulda been your girlfriend but I fucked up And I would have rocked your world but that's tough luck I shoulda been your girlfriend but I fucked up

Love Me Back 03:33
Usually I don't apologise for my mistakes But since it's you I'll make an exception Truth be told it's you I've been dreaming about Cos nobody else compares Nobody else comes close You're the one Iwant so throw me a life line Maybe this time I could get it right Maybe this time you could love me back Maybe this time I could get it right Maybe this time you could love me back And I know you're busy but could you squeeze me in? I could make it worthwhile You know we work so why fight it? Why resist when it feels like this? Baby I was meant to be with you Baby you were made especially for me Maybe this time I could get it right Maybe this time you could love me back Maybe this time I could get it right Maybe this time you could love me back I wanna be by your side Through thick and thin I wanna be your first and last thought every single day I don't wanna throw this away I don't wanna throw this away I want your love I want your love I want you to love me back Maybe this time I could get it right Maybe this time you could love me back Maybe this time I could get it right Maybe this time you could love me back you could love me back you could love me back

It's been a long time since I last saw you in flesh I've seen you in my dreams every night But I wasn't prepared for paths to cross So my love you've moved on, I know this Yet I wish for your love against the odds Against the odds For me it's not over For me it's not over There's unfinished business we need to deal with For me it's not over For me it's not over There's unfinished business we need to deal with Have you made your mind up? Is there room for me in your life? Maybe I'd settle for anything that you could give me I'd wish for your love but I'd take your lust If that is all you would offer me Oh I'll take your lust I'll take your lust I'll take your lust For me it's not over For me it's not over There's unfinished business we need to deal with For me it's not over For me it's not over There's unfinished business we need to deal with

You walked into the nightclub With cowboy boots on your feet And a look that says you can't conquer me But you can try And many many have tried Oh yeah many many have tried You can try I'll let you try You look like you just walked out a movie You feel like you belong in my dreams You're a cowboy in Glasgow city You belong in my dreams What is it about you that brings trouble to mind? You raise your hat and smile Then sit back in your seat Tell me why I can't take my eyes off you? And I know you can feel my gaze Oh how you just sit and smile You look like you just walked out a movie You feel like you belong in my dreams You're a cowboy in Glasgow city You belong in my dreams Oh mercy will I ever find another you? Cos I just can't approach you There is something so intimating about you Oh what will I do? I can't find the strength to say how I feel about you You look like you just walked out a movie You feel like you belong in my dreams You're a cowboy in Glasgow city You belong in my dreams You look like you just walked out a movie You feel like you belong in my dreams You're a cowboy in Glasgow city

You can close the door on me, lock me out in the cold You can tell me any lie that your desires takes hold You can refuse to answer my calls when you know I need you You can treat me so mean that I feel like a fool I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I'm not calling you cold cos you do have a warm heart You've got your reasons for taking me for-granted And our past has always been an open book You always had me dangling at the end of your hook I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay You can call me fickle you can call me mean Call me an ice queen But you don't see the full picture when it comes to me I've done everything you asked of me But still you won't let me in Oh no you won't let me in Oh no you won't let me in Oh no you won't let me in I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons got my reasons reasons to stay I got my reasons

Wait and See 02:57
To be honest I don't see the point I spilled my heart out but it don't make a dent How I'm feeling I can't quite expel I told you I love you and met a wall of silence You won't tell me so I won't ask Maybe it's your secret to keep or maybe its just your past I don't know where to go from here So tell me where do we go from here? All I know is that I am sorry All I feel is so completely lost All I can do is wait and see Just wait and see I won't cause a scene Cos I know it would be pointless After all we've shared together there should be a way to sort this Cos if I'm honest I need something And I was sure it was you that I need Oh it's you that I need All I know is that I am sorry All I feel is so completely lost All I can do is wait and see Just wait and see Oh to be completely honest I'm just sorry Oh so sorry if I don't make the grade Oh to be honest I'm just sorry Oh so sorry if I don't make the grade All I know is that I am sorry All I feel is so completely lost All I can do is wait and see Just wait and see
