LYRICS

He'll paint your beauty in syllables
Captivate a little heart  
Make the world lavender
Illuminate the darkest parts

His harmonies will let the light shine in your eyes
He's like the summer's violet sky
Every shade so beautiful and I'm amazed
How my grey shadows come to life 

Lose my senses with one embrace
Lift me up and drift away
Dreams are never quite enough
Intoxicate, exhilarate
He's lavender, he takes my breath away

I wanted him but she was his
And yes it hurt, but he still swept me off my feet 
A gentlemen with wayward hair and a charming soul
Playful eyes that felt like home

Every word he speaks is like music to my ears
I'm hanging on, but the sweet melody of him disappears

Lose my senses with one embrace
He lifts me up, I drift away
Dreams are never quite enough
Intoxicate, exhilarate, complicate
He's lavender, he takes my breath away

I see pretty lights and memories that we'll never make
I'm longing for just one chance, just one day

So if our two paths should cross again
I'd let him know
He's every kind of beautiful

LYRICS

Once upon a time in our fairytale haze
Our pretty world of no mistakes
Came crashing down with nothing left to save 
And then rumors spread like fire
I cried all those tears for a liar
I can't breathe, can't sleep can't live like this any longer

So I'm gonna light it up all at once
Let it burn and fade to dust
Take a match to the past
Ignite what we thought we had
I'm gonna light it up

Once upon a time in our "I need you" phase
I spent my nights calling out your name
I'm still haunted by you and pickin' up the mess you made
You were smoke and mirrors and I fell for it
I was addicted to your promises
But the door is slammed not a second chance I've had enough

So I'm gonna light it up all at once
Let it burn and fade to dust
Take a match to the past
Ignite what we thought we had
I'm gonna light it up all at once
Let it burn and fade to dust
Take a match to the past
Ignite what we thought we had

Loving you was like playing with fire
And I'm not a pyromaniac
So I can't turn back, you're not all that
You give me no choice but to

Light it up all at once
Let it burn and fade to dust
Take a match to the past
Ignite what we thought we had
I'm gonna light it up all at once
Let it burn and fade to dust
Take a match to the past
Ignite what we thought we had

LYRICS

I know it's not your fault
but baby I was strong
I wasn't ready for you to play me
And you say you're not ashamed 
You'll never run away
Pain is just the enemy

I tried my best to let you in
even if you're just pretend
let me show you it's alright
that love's more than a fight

Time was short, you let it pass by
Your pride was stronger than mine
Falling for you was like a silent prayer
Good intentions go nowhere
Just short of perfection
You know you're just a lesson
You proved your point, do you feel like a man?
You fooled me once, never again
 
And you're so full of it
Actin so tough when you drown in regrets
Couldn't help yourself from using me
And all I ever did
Was show you all that I had to give
But you blew that chance, yeah you screwed it up
Yeah you lost me

Go and say what you want
That I'm naive, you came along
Simply trying to help me, well boy you couldn't be more wrong

Time was short, you let it pass by
Your heart is weaker than mine
Falling for you, I didn't have a prayer
Good intentions, go nowhere
Just short of perfection
You know you're just a lesson
You think you won, do you feel like a man?
You fooled me once, never again

Please tell me what you got out of this
Please show me what the point of it is
You made your choice
Yeah you threw it away 

Time was short, it passed by
Gave you a chance and you lied
I fell for you, I didn't have a prayer
No, not a prayer
Just short of perfection
You know you're just a lesson
Now that I'm gone, do you feel like a man?
You fooled me once, never -
Yeah you fooled me once, never again
