lyrics:
clenching my keys til my knuckles turn white
going the long way to stay in the light
friends check i'm home so they know i'm alright
but still that's not enough

told to cover up and pull my skirt right down
taught to stick to main roads where there's people around
maybe call a cab instead of walking through town
but still that's not enough

it's not enough to make me feel that i'm safe at night
i'm still afraid of being alone
'cause even if i follow the rules that we're told
i still don't feel safe walking home

mum she's always worried so she tracks my phone
she doesn't really like me going out alone
i tell her that it's only a short walk from home
but still that's not enough

it's not enough to make her feel that i'm safe at night
even though she knows that i'm grown
'cause even if she's taught us the rules of old
her daughters aren't safe walking home
no her daughters aren't safe walking home

i don't wanna give you everything
if you're forever holding back
lately darling i've been noticing
the late night phone calls behind my back

i don't wanna jump to conclusions 
but all the confusion in my mind leads to just one answer
that i don't want to believe
i don't wanna ruin things between us 
by seeming so suspicious
so please just tell me honestly

when you look into her eyes
do you feel the butterflies?
or am i the only one who makes you feel complete?
or could your hands intertwine with a hand that isn't mine?
or are your arms a home sweet home for only me?
are your arms a home sweet home for only me?

you said that i've been seeming distant
can't you see that's just unfair
all the times that i've needed you most
i can't seem to find you anywhere

i don't wanna jump to conclusions 
but all the confusion in my mind leads to just one answer
that i don't want to believe
i don't wanna ruin things between us 
by seeming so suspicious
so please just tell me honestly

when you look into her eyes
do you feel the butterflies?
or am i the only one who makes you feel complete?
or could your hands intertwine with a hand that isn't mine?
or are your arms a home sweet home for only me?
only me

when you look into my eyes
do you feel the butterflies?
or have i never made you feel complete?
could your hands intertwine with a hand that isn't mine?
or are your arms a home sweet home for only me?
are your arms a home sweet home for only me?

text me saying that it's over
i said i i'll call you when you're sober
i spend the night out on the sofa
gave you a chance to think it over

wake up and swear you never meant it
and that you wish you'd never sent it
and that you wish you could have spent it
here with me

you only love me when you're sober x2
when there's poison in your veins
it's like you barely know my name
you only love me when you're sober x2

it's like a hundred second chances
i always blame the circumstances
i've taken off the tinted glasses and now i see
that you've been taking me for granted

you only love me when you're sober x2
when there's poison in your veins
all we had goes up in flames
you only love me when you're sober x2
when you're sober
you only love me when you're sober

sober

standing on the edge of the world
looking up at the western skies
say goodnight to celestial bodies
welcome in a new sunrise

as long as the world keeps turning
and the fires of hell keep burning
i'll be here just trying to stay afloat

coz i've got the weight of the world on my shoulders
oh it's quite the burden to bear
i'm holding up the heavens
keeping clouds up in the air
the world is getting heavy
my feet on the ground unsteady
if only there was someone with whom i could share
the burden that i bear

it can get a little bit lonely
when there's nobody else in sight
nobody to hear me screaming
all my worries into the night

it feels like my stomach's turning
a fire inside my lungs is burning
and all this time i'm trying to stay afloat

coz i've got the weight of the world on my shoulders
oh it's quite the burden to bear
i'm holding up the heavens
keeping clouds up in the air
the world is getting heavy
my feet on the ground unsteady
if only there was someone with whom i could share
the burden that i bear

oh would you pick me up off of the ground
if everything came crashing down
you're stronger than i'll ever be
i'm stronger when you're here with me
x2

when the world is getting heavy
my feet on the ground unsteady
can you promise me that you'll always be there?

coz i've got the weight of the world on my shoulders
oh it's quite the burden to bear
i'm holding up the heavens
keeping clouds up in the air
and the world is getting heavy
my feet on the ground unsteady
if only there was someone with whom i could share
the burden that i bear

someday
it will be ok
and we can leave this all behind

someday
won't have to be afraid
i'll be yours and you'll be mine

but until then
just think about when
we can be in each others arms again

hold on i'll be there before long
as soon as i'm allowed i'll run my fingers through your hair
but for now be strong and let the words of this song
wrap their arms around you keep you safe until I'm there
someday soon we'll be together again

I hate having to stay away
oh it breaks my heart in two
but hey just know that come what may
I'll be waiting here for you

but until then
just think about when
we can be in each others arms again

hold on i'll be there before long
as soon as i'm allowed i'll run my fingers through your hair
but for now be strong and let the words of this song
wrap their arms around you keep you safe until I'm there
someday soon we'll be together again

I'm not going anywhere no x4

hold on i'll be there before long
as soon as i'm allowed i'll run my fingers through your hair
but for now be strong and let the words of this song
wrap their arms around you keep you safe until I'm there
someday soon we'll be together again

someday
