Missing Pieces

Another night coming home to a single unmade bed
Too many cups of coffee, got this buzzing in my head
I’d love nothing more than to drift away
But I’ve got too much to do
I’ve worn this same t-shirt, lost count how many days
I’m cold, I hate these curtains and I’ve got my rent to pay
I’ve got this worry looming over me
And I just can’t let it go
Something’s missing but I can’t seem to work out what that something is
Missing pieces scattered round the room
Will they fit together, fit together soon
Some days I think I’m close to being in tune
Will it all make sense soon?
Drag my feet to the bathroom
Cool water on my face
Who’s that in the mirror?
She looks so out of place
I’ve got to try and pick myself up
But I don’t know where to start
Something’s missing but I can’t seem to work out what that something is
Missing pieces scattered round the room
Will they fit together, fit together soon
Some days I think I’m close to being in tune
Will it all make sense soon?
Will it all make sense soon?
Will it make sense soon?
Will it make sense soon?
Will it make sense soon?
Will it make sense soon?
Something’s missing but I can’t seem to work out what that something is
Missing pieces scattered round the room
Will they fit together, fit together soon
Some days I think I’m close to being in tune
Will it all make sense soon? (Will it make sense soon?)
Will it makes sense soon? (Will it make sense soon?)
Will it all make sense soon? (Will it make sense soon?)
Will it all make sense soon?

Reaching Out
05:01

I know we don’t talk no more
I know it’s been a while
But I’m just reaching out to see if you’re doing alright
I know we didn’t end on the best of terms
But I’m just reaching out to see if you’re doing alright
Since you’ve gone there’s been something I’m trying to find
Since you’ve gone I’ve been searching for peace of mind
Take me back to those long dark nights
Spilling secrets in the candle light
No one on this earth could understand like you
Taking on the world and making plans
We promised each other we’d always be there
I was stronger when I was with you,
I was better because I had you.
I know that all good things must come to an end
And I guess this was just one of those things
We clung to each other for as long as we could
But it just wasn’t like it was before
We didn’t need each other any more
Take me back to those long dark nights
Spilling secrets in the candle light
No one on this earth could understand like you
Taking on the world and making plans
We promised each other we’d always be there
I was stronger when I was with you,
I was better because I had you.
You...
I know that things ended so abruptly
And it’s too late now to try and make it right
But I hope this song finds you
Wherever you are
I hope you know that I still care
There will always be a piece of me wishing you were there
Say goodbye to those long dark nights
No more secrets in the candle light
It’s time to let go of that part of my life
Taking on the world, but on separate paths
Not all promises are made to last
I am stronger because of you
I am better because I knew you
You...
Taking on the world but on separate paths
Not all promises are made to last
I am stronger because of you
I am better because I knew you.

No More

Running out of things to keep me numb
Blood red wine in the bottle has all but gone
And the songs on the radio aren’t enough
To keep me from dwelling on this love
From dwelling on this love
I gave you all
But you just let me fall
And I begged you, stay
But you just walked away
Well no more, no more, no more.
No more, no more, no more.
Try to figure out what I did wrong
It was all going so well
Or maybe you pretended this whole time
Maybe this whole thing was nothing more than lies
I’m dwelling on this love
I gave you all
But you just let me fall
And I begged you, stay
But you just walked away
Well no more, no more, no more.
No more, no more, no more.
You tore me apart
Limb from limb
I don’t even know who I am anymore
Well never again
No I won’t
Let anyone else in
I gave you all
But you just let me fall
And I begged you, stay
But you just walked away
I gave you all
But you just let me fall
And I begged you, stay
But you just walked away
Well no more, no more, no more.
No more, no more, (I just can't take it) no more.
No more, no more (I just can't take it no more) No more,
No more, no more.

Song for You
02:31
|

Summer’s evening,
The room is humming
Pressed into a corner,
I’ll wait for you forever.
Trying to get your attention,
Get you to look in my direction,
Make my name worth a mention
But you don’t even see me standing here,
It’s as if the light won’t shine when I’m around,
Your eyes on her instead of me,
I know that I could never be,
Your lover,
But still I wonder.
