I find all these reasons to be strong, to be okay 
but I keep coming back to this, to how much it hurts

And when that hits me, it's all I can do to just
breathe

Lyrics:

I guess it wasn’t meant to be
You weren’t the one for me
I know
We could never make it work
But that doesn’t stop the hurt
I know

Something better must be coming along
And you’d be better off if I moved on

But I can’t breathe without you
By my side 
Without you
I fall apart when I’m alone
But I must live without you
I must try without you
To move on
And carry on

You never tried to fight for me
But I still couldn’t see
What I know now
The gaps between us were great
They’d only break us 
Down

Something better must be coming along
We’d both be better off to just move on

But I can’t breathe without you
By my side 
Without you
I fall apart when I’m alone
But I must live without you
I must try without you
To move on
Carry on

Someone once told me there’s more fish in the sea
But I’m not convinced there’s another for me
‘Cause everyday I struggle to breathe

(Instrumental)
I fall apart when I’m alone

But I must live without you
I must try without you
To move on
And carry on

I guess it wasn’t meant to be
You weren’t the one for me
I know

I know


Breathe

These Love Songs

I can see it now
Our castle in the clouds
We’re shouting it out loud
We won
They said we’d let them down
But take a look around
‘Cause when all is said and done

This world we have is full of lies
But we don’t need much to feel alive

I’ve got you and we can
Do whatever we wanna do
Whatever we wanna do
So who needs fools when there’s still
Me and you
We got our freedom
Our freedom 
Oo-oh

They said we’d realise
The dreams we had would die
But look at you and I
I’m not so sure
We’ll write it on the sky
Show them how we fly
No one’s been this high before

This world we have will bring you down
But that’s why I’ll always be around

I’ve got you and we can
Do whatever we wanna do
Whatever we wanna do
So who needs fools when there’s still
Me and you
We got our freedom
Our freedom
Oo-oh

(Instrumental)

Can you feel your heartbeat pounding
Oo-oh, oo-oh
Can you see the people crowding
Oo-oh

I’ve got you and we can
Do whatever we wanna do
Whatever we wanna do
Who needs fools when there’s still
Me and you
We got our freedom
Our freedom
Oo-oh

We can do whatever we wanna do
Whatever we wanna do
So who needs fools when there’s still
Me and you
We got our freedom
Our freedom
Oo-oh

So shout it out loud, we won
We won

Freedom

Trouble always seems to find me
While I’m looking straight ahead
You have ended up beside me
I know what’s safe
But I’ll choose you instead

What if now we run
Plans can come undone
Rules were made to break, baby
Just this once

But who can say
In one more day
If you will still be with me
So let me know
Before you go
If playing with fire is so risky
Was it worth the burn
To be with me

Nothing’s quite what it seems to be
Underneath the things you say
You and I know what you need
It always comes back to me
You always come back to me, ‘cause

Darling I’m the one
I’ll make you wanna run
You’ll see me in your nightmares but
It’s so much fun

And who can say
In one more day
If you will still be with me
So let me know
Before you go
If playing with fire is so risky
Was it worth the burn
To be with me

(Instrumental)

You won’t take me
You won’t take me
You won’t take me
Down with you
And if you’re looking
For a dream
Dreams don’t come true

I’ll make you wanna run
You’ll see me in your nightmares but 
It’s so much fun

But who can say
In one more day
If you will still be with me
So let me know
Before you go
If playing with fire is so risky
Was it worth the burn
To be with me

(Instrumental)

Let me know
Before you go
‘Cause playing with fire is too easy
But was it worth the burn
To be with me

Burn

I remember you 
You were a little thing
Growing up far too fast 
Before I know it you
You’ll be off into the world 
And I know some things never last

But I'll be here for you when the skies are dark and angry 
And I'll be here for you when your heart is feeling grey
And when the stars fall in and all of time is through 
I will still love you

I remember telling stories to you
And fighting ‘cause you wanted all my time
Now you're getting older, you'll find the world is cruel
Keep your innocence, promise me you'll try 

And I'll be here for you when the skies are dark and angry 
I'll be here for you when your heart is feeling grey
And when the stars fall in and all of time is through 
I will still love you
I'll be here for you when life is getting scary
And I'll be here for you when the rest all turn away
And when the stars fall in and all of time is through
I will still love you

I know everything is changing
Everything is strange
And it's hard to know what the right thing is to do
It feels like I'm leaving
I'd never leave you on your own
While I'm away
You should know

That I'll be here for you when the skies are dark and angry 
And I'll be here for you when your heart is feeling grey
And when the stars fall in and all of time is through 
I will still love you
I'll be here for you when life is getting scary
I'll be here for you when the rest all turn away
When the stars fall in and all of time is through
I will still love you
I will still love you

When The Stars Fall

You always find a way to make my day brighter
We've only come a little way but it's like I've known you all my life

And what do you know
Soon it's time for me to go
I know goodbyes are difficult but it's been wonderful
Oh, oh

And if there were a place
Filled with all my favourite people 
Where it only rained
So we could dance
There you would be
Right in the middle
And if life don't go the way that you had planned
I hope it brings you back to me

I'll be in a strange place but I promise I won't let you down
I hope you don't forget how I love to have you around

And next thing we know
It will be time for me to go
I know goodbyes are difficult but it's been wonderful
Oh, oh

And if there were a place
Filled with all my favourite people 
Where it only rained
So we could dance
There you would be
Right in the middle
And if life don't go the way that you had planned
I hope it brings you back to me

(Instrumental)
I hope it brings you back to me

I always try to let you know you're incredible
I really hope you know, you know you're incredible
I always try to let you know you're incredible
I really hope you know, you know you're incredible

(Instrumental)

You always find a way to make my day brighter
We've only come a little way but it's like I've known you all my life

And if there were a place
Filled with all my favourite people 
Where it only rained
So we could dance
There you would be
Right in the middle
And if life don't go the way that you had planned
I hope it brings you back to me

I hope it brings you back to me
I hope, I hope, I hope it brings you back
If life don’t go the way that you had planned
I hope, I hope, I hope it brings you back
If life don’t go the way that you had planned

I always try to let you know you're incredible
I really hope you know, you know you're incredible

Favourite People

Hover on the brakes
Stay in control
I know what's at stake
This is a dead-end road

So don't you say
You believe we've got something
I knew my way
But now I'm so unsure

'Cause suddenly I can't stop thinking about you
And suddenly here you shocked my heart to beat
And I am lost when I'm without you
So out of the blue
I'm falling for you now
Suddenly

We throw around our hearts
Like a child's game
A fragile house of cards
Won't survive the rain

But we're stronger stuff
And perhaps we've got something
If it's not enough
At least we know for sure

'Cause suddenly I can't stop thinking about you
And suddenly here you shocked my heart to beat
And I am lost when I'm without you
So out of the blue
I'm falling for you now
Suddenly

(Instrumental)

Don't look at me like that
With your laughing eyes
I'm already hypnotised

(Instrumental)

We throw around our hearts
Like a child's game
I don't regret the scars
'Cause I survived the pain

Now I'm stronger stuff
And you say we've got something
And I give up
All I knew before

'Cause suddenly I can't stop thinking about you
And suddenly here you shocked my heart to beat
And I am lost when I'm without you
So out of the blue
I'm falling for you now
Suddenly

I can't stop thinking about you
And suddenly here you shocked my heart to beat
And I am lost without you
So out of the blue
I'm falling for you now
Suddenly

Suddenly

It's alright
Wear your heart upon your sleeve
Prepare to fight
For the things that you believe in
And if all you get are daggers in the back
At least you kept your dignity

You build your walls
And I beg you take them down
'Cause if you fall
You'll want someone around
And if all you get are brittle little smiles that crack 
At least you stood your ground

Just remember

That the heart needs protecting
And the soul needs rest
But when all is said and done go after what you want
Don't forget
You don't want to regret
The things you didn't do

Your past
Isn't your identity 
And may it last
Vivid in your memory
To remind you that mistakes and things that break us
Are human reality

Just remember

That the heart needs protecting
And the soul needs rest
But when all is said and done go after what you want
Don't forget
You don't want to regret
The things you didn't do

(Instrumental)

May every song
Lift your spirits high
May every wrong
Bring you closer to the right
And if all you get are little things
Then use them to build your childhood dreams

Just remember 

That the heart needs protecting 
And the soul needs rest
But when all is said and done go after what you want
Don't forget

That the heart needs protecting 
And the soul needs to rest
But when all is said and done go after what you want
Don't forget
You don't want to regret
The things you didn't do

When All Is Said And Done

I know you're shy
But can we drop the pretence?
The tension's gonna drive me insane
Give me a sign
Anything to tell me that I'm not chasing in vain

We're sitting here by the water
and you're laughing at me
with those dark brown eyes 
I wonder if you can see

That I've been dying to kiss you 
Every single day
Trying not to tell you when you go away
Just how much I miss you
Darling I'm afraid

I've been dying to kiss you
Kiss you, kiss you
I've been dying to kiss you
Kiss you, kiss you
I've been dying to kiss you
Darling I'm afraid
I've been dying to kiss you

I know you try (I know you try)
To read me but you're struggling
'Cause you're not sure you know what I want
Well, what if I (Well, what if I)
Tell you you're the reason that
I've been writing all of these songs

And now we're here in the dark
and you're looking at me
We're close enough to touch 
But you're so out of reach

And I've been dying to kiss you 
Every single day
Trying not to tell you when you go away
Just how much I miss you
Darling I'm afraid

I've been dying to kiss you
Kiss you, kiss you
I've been dying to kiss you
Kiss you, kiss you
I've been dying to kiss you
Darling I'm afraid
I've been dying to kiss you

(Instrumental) 

There's fireworks in my heart
And they're lighting up out of control
I don't even know where to start, where to start
There's fireworks in my heart
And they're lighting up out of control
I don't even know where to start, where to start

But I've been dying to kiss you... (I've been dying to kiss you)
I've been dying to kiss you... (I've been dying to kiss you)
I've been dying to kiss you... (I've been dying to kiss you)

I've been dying to kiss you 
Every single day
Trying not to tell you when you go away
Just how much I miss you
Darling I'm afraid

That I've been dying to kiss you 
Every single day
Trying not to tell you when you go away
Just how much I miss you
Darling I'm afraid

I've been dying to kiss you
Kiss you, kiss you
I've been dying to kiss you
Kiss you, kiss you
I've been dying to kiss you
Every single day

I've been dying to kiss you


I've Been Dying To Kiss You

I drown my sorrows in dreams
Surrounded by my memories
But they resurface with the morning light 
Steal the air from my lungs and I'm winded by the fight

I found the empty casings 
From a gunfight long ago
I filled jars with all the metal
And wore the scars to let you know 

You said don't look down
But it's the only way to see how high I've climbed 
I made it through the clouds
You won't catch me, you can try 
Through the atmosphere, all the way up here
Even gravity can't stop me now

I slayed my demons in a nightmare
With honest words and now I dare
To take my freedom, and yes I'm afraid
But I won't let a single second slip away

You said don't look down
But it's the only way to see how high I've climbed 
I made it through the clouds
You won't catch me, you can try 
Through the atmosphere, all the way up here
Even gravity can't stop me now

(Instrumental)

All the doors have closed behind me
I look to the ones ahead
Time has slowly changed me
I am all that's left

You said don't look down
But it's the only way to see how high I've climbed 
I made it through the clouds
You won't catch me, you can try 
Through the atmosphere, all the way up here
Even gravity can't stop me now

Even gravity can't stop me now
Even gravity can't stop me now

Gravity

The shadows
They forgive 
All your flaws,
Things you did

But I know
That you're golden 
You're unsure
You don't see it

Their words, they burn
But I won't let you walk this path alone
When your body hurts
I will carry you home

When darkness falls
Where do you go?
Why do you hide
behind these walls? 
Look for the glow
Within your heart
Trust in my arms
To carry you home
I'll carry you home

Let them talk
Who gives a damn
for their thoughts?
Take my hand

And we'll walk
Down this road, together
It was laid for only us
They don't understand 

Their words, they burn
But I won't let you walk this path alone
When your body hurts
I will carry you home

When darkness falls
Where do you go?
Why do you hide
behind these walls? 
Look for the glow
Within your heart
Trust in my arms
To carry you home
I'll carry you home

(Instrumental)

When darkness falls
Where do you go?
Why do you hide
behind these walls? 

Look for the glow
For who you are
Trust in my arms
To carry you home

When darkness falls
Where do you go?
Why do you hide
behind these walls? 
Someday you'll glow
Outshine the stars
Trust in my arms
To carry you home
I'll carry you home

(I will carry you home) 
I'll carry you home
(I will carry you home) 
I'll carry you home
(I will carry you home) 
I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home

Carry You Home
