Pieces of Me 03:56
lyrics
If you don't ask I'll never tell And baby maybe It's just as well That you don't know how you helped me survive As you gradually burned me alive I need to forget you But my heart won't let you Be casually brushed to the side And when I try to ignore it It hurts even more And I'm overcome every time How many times over and over again Could I fall thinking it's over and then I give in But this is the last time I'm back for the pieces of me that I lost to the dark I always knew that Your love was on loan Now the game's up And I'm on my own Searching for pieces of me hard to find Now it's clear that what's mine isn't yours And what's yours isn't mine Oh no I won't keep pretending You meant neverending But that doesn't ease the goodbyes How many times over and over again Could I fall thinking it's over and then I give in But this is the last time I'm back for the pieces of me that I lost to the dark I need to forget you But my heart won't let you Be casually brushed to the side And when I try to ignore it It hurts even more And I'm overcome every time How many times over and over again Could I fall thinking it's over and then I give in But this is the last time I'm back for the pieces of me that I lost to the dark

Helicopter Lights 04:23
lyrics
Helicopter lights descend across the sky at nighttime Over the silky glow of streetlights I watch you Paint the cloudy canvas This passive adoration drives me mad So I fabricate a life a love we had Supposedly Helicopter blades extending lift above my sadness Under their frenzied whirl I’m insecure In the stillness that I’ve gained A solitary pilot in the night Underneath your brush a stroke of light And there it goes On and on and on and on and on Helicopter radio’s gone dead there’s no one listening I’m all alone inside the cockpit Flying in your window on the world You’re lost in constellations much too far While here I hover imitating stars You’ll never see Helicopter soars and here I am And there it is And there you are Colouring your sketches of my world That define my every moment And so it goes On and on and on and on and on Helicopter lights go out across the sky at night time Over the silky glow of streetlights I watch you Paint me into darkness

Renew 04:42
lyrics
It’s not so easy to know what you need To carry a cross When you don’t have a creed That you know line by line Word by word you’ll concede Become strange to yourself Start to bleed From the holes in your hands Where the blood runs like sands Counting failures your fingers can’t hold Turn it upside down And begin to forgive Finding stories to live Every pretty untrue Make believe all undo Take a breath hold it in Now release every sin See yourself as yourself All yourself renew I can’t pretend though you beg and you plead That everything’s fine It’s no more than misleading Yourself bit by bit Piece by piece you’ll succeed Become scared of yourself Start to bleed From the holes in your hands Where the blood runs like sands Counting failures your fingers can’t hold Turn it upside down And begin to forgive Finding stories to live Every pretty untrue Make believe all undo Take a breath hold it in Now release every sin See yourself as yourself All yourself renew Life’s not an hourglass funnelling seeds You can choose to break open To burn all the weeds That you’d rather forget Than to string up as beads Become safe with yourself Will you bleed? If you’ll show me the scars Fixed on skin like the stars All aligned into histories to tell I won’t turn around I won’t let you down Begin to forgive Finding stories to live Every pretty untrue Make believe all undo Take a breath hold it in Now release every sin See yourself as yourself All yourself renew

Please Don't 02:58
lyrics
Why don’t you take my advice Before you break your heart Please don’t you make The same mistake I’ve been here before Down this road where you try To justify the reasons why you should Take a chance Throw in all you got on one Passionate romance Bare your soul For all the world to see And if you trust in me Why don’t you take my advice Before you break your heart Please don’t you make The same mistake I’ve been here before Laying it all on the line For something that was promising to be Your ticket out A chance to rid yourself of insecurity But it can’t be this time No it can’t be this way You’ve got to find somebody else Who’s gonna listen when you say Why don’t you take my advice Before you break your heart Please don’t you make The same mistake I’ve been here before Where you’re trapped By what you want and What you know you’re needing And your body and your mind They both just aren’t agreeing Fight yourself For all you’re worth inside And keep that sense of pride That you deserve You don’t have to fall for the lies That you see deep inside his eyes Just be wise and don’t compromise yourself Don’t give up don’t give in Why don’t you take my advice Before you break your heart Please don’t you make The same mistake I’ve been here before Give yourself some time to grow Bit by bit the truth will show All the things you need to know Why don’t you please Why don’t you take my advice Before you break your heart Please don’t you make The same mistake I’ve been here before

From Now On 04:51
lyrics
Here we are together for the last And I realize all the endings The time gone by so fast But I never could have made it on my own And I’m overwhelmed when I reflect On all the love that you have shown So I thank you for your guiding hand And everything I’ve learned For the person I’ve become I hope you feel that I have earned the right to say Look how far I’ve come See how much I’ve grown And if memory makes you smile Then you will know How good it is to live To know what friendship is And to have that love forever All the moments we’ll remember 'Til now we’ve travelled forward side by side From now on we travel each upon our own important tide Wherever we end up we’ll always know That tides flow round in circles And the one place we can always go Is here Where the ties we’ve woven never die And we trust that every laugh and tear We’ve shared will in our minds forever lie Stand proud and say I’m ready to live As best I can and come what may Look how far I’ve come See how much I’ve grown And if memory makes you smile Then you will know How good it is to live To know what friendship is And to have that love forever All the moments we’ll remember From now on I’d never really thought about today So consumed by all the things of then That now was far away And still it hardly seems that this is true That a bittersweet goodbye is what I have Is what I share with each of you My friends I’ve learned along the way That what counts is that you live and love right here And now We have the chance to say Look how far I’ve come See how much I’ve grown And if memory makes you smile Then you will know How good it is to live To know what friendship is And to have that love forever All the moments we’ll remember From now on

Wildwood Flower 04:01
lyrics
I'll twine 'mid the strands Of my dirt brown hair The lilies so pale And the roses so fair The myrtle so bright With an emerald hue And the pale aronatus With eyes of bright blue I'll sing and I'll dance And my laugh shall be gay I'll cease this wild weeping Drive sorrow away Though my heart is now breaking He never shall know That his name made me tremble And my cheek to glow I'll think of him never I'll be wildly gay I'll charm every heart And the crowd I will sway I'll live yet to see him Regret the dark hour When he won then neglected The frail wildwood flower He told me he loved me And promised to love Through ill and misfortune All others above Another has won him Ah misery to tell He left me in silence No word of farewell He taught me to love him He called me his flower That blossomed for him All the brighter each hour But I woke from my dreaming My idol was clay My visions of love Have all faded away
