I keep on coming back to you
Until the feeling grows untrue
Something I cannot subdue
I’m sure you know just what I mean
Don’t need words to speak my mind
Cause it’s hidden deep inside

It won’t mean much to you, babe
Cause it doesn’t mean much to me
It’s not that I don’t love you anymore
But it gets harder to say it every day
There must be something wrong with me today

I need you to tell me that it’s gonna be alright
Cause I’m a hypochondriac
Oh no, I really think this time
I’m gonna die
I’m gonna die

I won’t say words like “I love you”
Just because you want me to
Quiet games are my go-to
Something I’m not proud to say
But I can prove it many ways
Hope you’ll understand someday

It won’t mean much to you, babe
Cause it doesn’t mean much to me
It’s not that I don’t love you anymore
You gotta believe me when I tell you so
I’m just a bit confused that’s all

I need you to tell me that it’s gonna be alright
Cause I’m a hypochondriac
Oh no, I really think this time
I’m gonna die
I’m gonna die

It's Not That I Don't Love You

I wish my life was more than meets the eye
I look around I’ve got no friend nearby
Is company too much to ask for?
Lonesome like I’ve never felt before

Is it so hard to live in harmony?
I turn around, uneasy sights surround me
Is honesty too much to ask for?
A cruel world like I’ve never seen before

I can’t be seen by the naked eye
Invisible to the passerby
Is sympathy too much to ask for?
Forsaken like I’ve never been before

It’s not the life I was expected to have
When I look back, my childhood wasn’t that bad
Is destiny too much to ask for?
Mistaken like I’ve never been before

Never Before

I took a step back
When you tried to hold my hand
I met your friends
But I barely shook their hands
I’m too much of a coward
To let you know by now
Don’t you love a fool like me

Deep inside you surely know
This isn’t gonna last
Sometimes I wonder
How we even made it through
Cause only a fool would love me now

It’s hard to think
Of a reason to smile
There’s a part of me that knows
I’m the only one to blame
It’s too late to tell me
How you feel about me now
Don’t you love a fool like me

Why do I convince myself
You’ll give me head tonight
You pray I’d have a lonely night
So I would run to you
But only a fool would love me now

I’ve got to explain the root of my pain
To someone who can understand
And I hope that it’s you
I’ll make it real quick that I’ll promise to you
But I want you to stay till the end of the night

It’s true that we have
Our differences you and I
And you won’t be surprised
That I must leave you now
There’s nothing left in me
I’ve been robbed of feelings for you
Don’t you love a fool like me

I’m sorry if that’s how you feel
But this is what I do
I break hearts for a living
Cause it’s easy to do
But only a fool would love me now

I take what I need and give what I want
Like a dealer in a gambling game
I don’t play by the rules
I don’t play by the rules
I look at your hand and shuffle my cards
But I’ll only call or check you when I’m blind

Don’t you love a fool like me
No no, don’t you love a fool like me
Don’t you love a fool like me
No no, don’t you love a fool like me
Like me, like me

Don't You Love a Fool Like Me

She’s got golden hair
With a look of despair
Trying hard to find
What she came for
To face up to the truth
Or make her own
Weeping through the night

She’s trying to contain
The water in her eyes
Unable to decide
Whether to live on
The unbearable weight
Of shattered promises
Weeping through the night

But little does she grasp
The shame is here to last
The guilt is far too strong
To right any wrong
Nowhere for her to hide
Into the night
Where she can still be heard
Weeping through the night

She starts to believe
The pain will wash away
And time will have its say
But it’s too late
She takes it to the grave
Couldn’t play it brave
Weeping through the night

But little does he know
The child is not his own
Bestowed upon the blame
It’s time to take his own
Assailant walks away
Into the night
Where she can still be heard
Weeping through
Weeping through the night

Weeping Through

We’ve come a long way
To find a place where
We could feel at ease
As we please

But I’ve lost control
Of simpler times when
I could be alone
On my own

And I can’t believe
That I just had to let you go

Cause you’ve been oh so good
To me all the time
I wish I could have been
The same to you, yes I do
I wish I could have been
The same to you

Every morning
I contemplate on
What we could have been
Might have been

And every night
I rest my head on
What I should have said
Could have said

And it’s a shame
That it just wasn’t meant to be

Cause you’ve been oh so good
To me all the time
I wish I could have done
The same for you, yes I do
I wish I could have done
The same for you

And I wonder why
I couldn’t see a life with you

Cause you’ve been oh so good
To me all the time
I wish I could have been
There for you

Oh, you’ve been oh so good
To me all the time
I wish I could have been
There for you, yes I do
I wish I could have been
There for you

You've Been Good to Me

We were too young to live
The time of our lives
Too old to die
In the comfort of our lies

I was too young to see
The sparkle in your eyes
Too old to give
A part of my life

But the love we have
Will live with us forever
And I know you’ll be around
As we grow apart

You were too young to feel
The lines on your face
Too old to dream
A future in this place

I was too young to taste
How bitter things can be
Too old to hear
The inner child in me

But no one else can lead
The way to find ourselves
And only then may we find
Each other again

But I believe the stars will align
On a bright sunny day
And I’ll be waiting for you
On the other side

But I believe the stars will align
On a bright sunny day
And I’ll be waiting for you
On the other side

There’ll come a time when peace
Will reign over the skies
Cause the wheels keep on spinning
Round and round

Too Young to Live

We could travel around the globe
With an open mind
But it wouldn’t change a thing
Between you and I

Cause what I’m looking for
I can hardly find
And I wouldn’t be surprised
If my heart subsides

There must be some kind of way
To believe (to believe)
That things will not remain the same
(Things will not remain the same)
Forever and ever again

Can you help me fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Can’t you see
That I am hurting now, yes I am
Tell me how to fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Don’t you know
That I can only try
To change a little part of my mind
At a time

Hole in my heart

If I could tell you how
Then I surely would
Cause I don’t even know
What’s hurt inside

There’s a million dreams to have
Before I die
But every second that passes by
And I’m bleeding out

There must be some kind of way
To believe (to believe)
That things will not remain the same
(Things will not remain the same)
Forever and ever again

Can you help me fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Can’t you see
That I am hurting now, yes I am
Tell me how to fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Don’t you know
That I can only try
To heal a little piece of my heart
At a time

There must be some kind of way
To believe (to believe)
That things will not remain the same
(Things will not remain the same)
Forever and ever again

Can you help me fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Can’t you see
That I am hurting now, yes I am
Tell me how to fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Don’t you know
That I can only try
To heal a little piece of my heart

Can you help me fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Can’t you see
That I am hurting now, yes I am
Tell me how to fill this hole
Hole in my heart
Don’t you know
That I can only try
To heal a little piece of my heart
At a time

There’s a hole in my heart
Hole in my heart

Hole in My Heart

You paint the picture of our future
With such ease and composure
You give yourself unconditionally
In troubled times of uncertainty

It gets so hard to be alone
I gotta try to be happy on my own
Cause one day I’ll come to realize
You won’t be coming home

You make it easy
To wake up every morning
You make it easy
To sleep through every evening
And to love you every day

Now you’re not willing to accept me
In the life you just promised me
For the thought is unbearable
Of a freedom unattainable

It gets so hard to be alone
I gotta try to be happy on my own
Cause one day I’ll come to realize
You won’t be coming home

You make it easy
To sing you this love song
You make it easy
To hold you all night long
And to love you every day

It gets so hard to be alone
I gotta try to be happy on my own
Cause one day I’ll come to realize
You won’t be coming home

You make it easy
Every second of the day
You make it easy
Every mile in the way
And to love you every day
Every day

To love you every day
To love you every day
To love you every day
Yes, to love you every day
Every day

You Make It Easy

君が　訪れた日々が
徐々に　消えてゆくたびに
いつも　思い出す　別れの涙

夢なのか　分からない
あの　イエスタデイ
奇跡かも　分からない
あの　イエスタデイ

そばに　居てくれたあなた
今も　支えてる気持ち
まるで　後ろ姿　見覚えがある

夢なのか　分からない
あの　イエスタデイ
奇跡かも　分からない
あの　イエスタデイ

夢なのか　分からない
あの　イエスタデイ
奇跡かも　分からない
あの　イエスタデイ

目覚めた頃は
日差し強い朝
目前に女神
現れた　マイ・ダーリン

忘れない　心持ち
あの　イエスタデイ
夢かしら　煩わない
あの　イエスタデイ

忘れない　心持ち
あの　イエスタデイ
夢かしら　煩わない
あの　イエスタデイ

イエスタデイ
イエスタデイ
イエスタデイ

イエスタデイ

Yesterday

I was standing on the side of the canal
A jazz record under my arm
She said “I’d like to see some paintings too”
So I thought I’d take her to the gallery

A girl of taste to me she seemed
Protagonist of my dreams
I said “I’d like to see you sometime soon”
But her answer wasn’t easy to see through

Sunny days turned to eerie nights
When the bigger picture seemed so black and white
Oh how I came to be so colorblind
To miss the signs?

I like to keep a little photograph
(Photograph)
I look at it to get by
(To get by)
It’s the only one in black and white
That I could find
But it’s enough to keep me satisfied

Yet again we met next day
Where all the lovers hang around
She said “I appreciate my time overall”
But I certainly was not convinced at all

I hope she’ll play my gramophone, going home
And hear that weeping saxophone
I said “you lack some empathy, not to be rude”
But my statement seemed so prematurely shrewd

I wish the world was drawn in black and white
So she could see it through my lens
But now a rainbow draws before my eyes
And it’s so crude

I like to keep a little photograph
(Photograph)
I look at it to get by
(To get by)
It’s the only one in black and white
That I could find
But it’s enough to keep me satisfied

I wish the world was drawn in black and white
So she could see it through my lens
But now a rainbow draws before my eyes
And it’s so crude

I like to keep a little photograph
(Photograph)
I look at it to get by
(To get by)
It’s the only one in black and white
That I could find
But it’s enough to keep me satisfied

I like to keep a little photograph
(Photograph)
I look at it to get by
(To get by)
It’s the only one I have of her
But that’s alright
It’s just enough to keep me satisfied
