Dark Heart

Tell me what I need to know
Tell me if I'm losing my mind, if I'm losing my soul
Think I'm just gonna go
Lying here, 7am and my blood's gone cold
Tell me what part is true
'Cause I can't shake this feeling that she's got you
Tell me to put it to rest
Lay me back down, my head on your chest
I been up crying, now my eyes are red like yours
And you're sleeping softly while I toss and turn
And when you wrap yourself around me, can you feel this ache in my chest
Oh the truth is I got a dark heart, it don't give me no rest
Tell me why I can't be free
One-eighty switch got ahold on me
Take me out of my head
Trying to make sense of the things we said
Tell me why you don't want me
Tell me what's missing, what else do I need to be
Why do I feel empty
'Cause you're the only one I ever believed
Now I been up crying, now my eyes are red like yours
And you're sleeping softly while I toss and turn
And when you wrap yourself around me, can you feel this ache in my chest
Oh the truth is I got a dark heart, it don't give me no rest
But I let my baby go, I left my love behind
I let my baby go, I left my love behind
I let my baby go, Ieft my love behind
And I let my baby go, I left my love behind
I been up crying, now my eyes are red like yours
And you're sleeping softly while I toss and turn
And when you wrap yourself around me, can you feel this ache in my chest
Oh the truth is I got a dark heart, it don't give me no rest
But I let my baby go, I left my love behind
I let my baby go, I left my love behind
I let my baby go, Ieft my love behind
And I let my baby go, I left my love behind

Water

I love how you don't hold back
How you knew right away I was meant for you
Surrounding me like water
Filling in the places they could never get close to
And I love how you never have a reason
Why we should be apart
I love how you're everything I needed
And this is just the start
Oh baby, I never hear an excuse from your lips
Not afraid to tell me that you miss me
Together all the time and that's how we like it
And there's no need to slow it down
'Cause this is for life
I love how I'm suddenly seeing
The world through your eyes
And baby, it's a beautiful place
But I can't say I'm surprised
'Cause I knew you before we met
Showing up in all my dreams
Then one day there you were
Standing right in front of me
Oh baby, I never hear an excuse from your lips
Not afraid to tell me that you miss me
Together all the time and that's how we like it
And there's no need to slow it down
'Cause this is for life
Surrounding me, surrounding me like water
Surrounding me, surrounding me like water
Surrounding me, surrounding me like water
Surrounding me, surrounding me
Oh baby, I never hear an excuse from your lips
Not afraid to tell me that you miss me
Together all the time and that's how we like it
And there's no need to slow it down
'Cause this is for life

Sorry

I was playing games, I was using him
I'm kidding myself if I think I'm stainless
'Cause you had someone at home and I didn't even know
Oh I just wanted to be blameless
They say all's fair in war and love
But I could tell I fucked it up
'Cause I broke down crying on Metropolitan
Heading home alone 'cause you'd had enough
And I broke my own heart with each expectation
I threw words like daggers in retaliation
So why do I still dream about you now
It's been years and you got somebody else to call your own
And I don't think that you think of me now
So why do I still feel like there's words I gotta get out
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Remember that night at the fair, we were kids
When you told me I deserved someone better
And maybe you'd be him someday, well I think those words
Are the ones I never got over
And I broke my own heart with each expectation
I threw words like daggers in retaliation
So why do I still dream about you now
It's been years and you got somebody else to call your own
And I don't think that you think of me now
So why do I still feel like there's words I gotta get out
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But I don't understand why
Time and its sands didn't carry you
Out of my mind
'Cause now I can't ignore that
The cutting of the cords didn't sever
All of our ties
So why do I still dream about you now
It's been years and you got somebody else to call your own
And I don't think that you think of me now
So why do I still feel like there's words I gotta get out
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Foolish
02:54
|

|
I guess I'm foolish and naive
I get so caught up in the idea of someone loving me
I guess I'm bitter 'cause in my dreams
You brush me off and it's humiliating
Oh I didn't want to see
Just how badly I've been wanting to be needed
Oh I was on my knees
For three long months laying flowers at your feet
While you were out walking with someone more famous
I guess I'm foolish
But I don't even blame you
I just feel ashamed
That I thought determination
Was all it took to light the flame
But no matter what, you can't win someone's love
If they're not even looking your way
I guess I'm foolish and naive
I get so caught up in the idea of someone loving me
I guess I'm bitter 'cause in my dreams
You brush me off and it's humiliating
Oh I didn't want to see
Just how badly I've been wanting to be needed
Oh I was on my knees
For three long months laying flowers at your feet
While you were out walking with someone more famous
I guess I'm foolish
Reaching into the past
To salvage the wreck
Of something you once cherished
It's oh so pointless
You left it for a reason
So leave it where it lies
To rest in peace as the embers die
I guess I'm foolish and naive
I get so caught up in the idea of someone loving me
I guess I'm bitter 'cause in my dreams
You brush me off and it's humiliating
Oh I didn't want to see
Just how badly I've been wanting to be needed
Oh I was on my knees
For three long months laying flowers at your feet
While you were out walking with someone more famous
I guess I'm foolish

Call It Like I See It
03:16
|

Well I didn't wanna believe it
But I'm petty and I'm jealous, gotta call it like I see it
And I won't try to deny
That I'm a skilled projector of fanciful designs
But they always disappear at midnight
The visions always lose their shine
It's time I had something to hold onto
Someone that I can call mine
I'm ready to come clean
'Bout the shadows that lurk round the inside of me
'Cause you can't have the light without the dark
Yeah I'm owning my dark side and it feels like a start
So what if I'm a little dramatic
Or have my head in the clouds, if I'm a love drunk addict
Well I'm not afraid anymore
Of what they might find if they open that door
'Cause I'm always missing someone that I shouldn't be missing
But it's 'cause I see the good where others only see a villain
And in the past this power's gotten the better of me
But now I'm learning to wield it like the moon sways the sea
I'm ready to come clean
'Bout the shadows that lurk round the inside of me
'Cause you can't have the light without the dark
Yeah I'm owning my dark side and it feels like a start
I'm ready to come clean
'Bout the shadows that lurk round the inside of me
'Cause you can't have the light without the dark
Yeah I'm owning my dark side and it feels like a start
