I heard you’re back in the cityI see you’re doing just fine.Some people say that you’ve changed nowI heard it through the grapevine.
You’re telling tales of the old timesYou’re making friends I never knew.I wonder do they take your lies,When righteous don’t look good on you?
Take it or leave itI don’t want to hear it tonight.You’re future ain’t so bright.Take it or leave itI just don’t believe in you lies.You’re never gonna see me again.
I’ve only known this as hopelessI’ve seen you’ve done this before.God give me peace from this restlessSo you can’t do this anymore.
Take it or leave it

Cool down Papa, don’t you carry that bag
You’ve been working all day long.
I don’t like Monday’s, they’re becoming a drag
Don’t keep me waiting up all night long.

Why don’t you use me, Before they use me up?

A lot’s gone missing since the breaking of day,
I’ve been driving for four days now.
I keep on asking what the doctor would say,
I keep on choking, cos’ I’m too proud.

Why don’t you use me…

So if you see me in a couple of years
Why don’t you ask me if I’m alright?
All I’m hoping is a couple of beers.
Why don’t you join me, or stand aside?

Why don’t you use me…

It was like this way back when
Hanging out as friends

It’s funny to think that, it’s funny to think back

Hopes and dreams were in everything

When we could see clearly, when we could breathe freely

Time goes go like a moving sky

It’s funny to think that we were both secretly hoping
That we would end up like roses



You make me feel like singin’ singin’ oh

You make me feel like “this this” oh

And dream away, that we would end up like roses

You make me feel like singin’ singin’ oh

You make me feel like “this this” oh

And dream away, that we would end up like roses



I had to wait for things to change

It was kinda strange

Nobody was listening, because you were missing

We needed space

In a better place

All these emotions, like waves in the ocean

Far away wishing you could stay

It’s funny to think that we were both secretly hoping
It was on the horizon




You make me feel like singin’ singin’ oh

You make me feel like “this this” oh

And dream away, that we would end up like roses


You make me feel like singin’ singin’ oh

You make me feel like “this this” oh

And dream away, that we would end up like roses



Like Roses Like Roses
Like Roses Like Roses




You make me feel like singin’ singin’ oh

You make me feel like “this this” oh

And dream away, that we would end up like roses

You make me feel like singin’ singin’ oh

You make me feel like “this this” oh

And dream away, that we would end up like roses

Hold onI guess I gotta hold onNot much left but I guess I got enough to use
And In timeI know that we can win mindsIt's a cold cold world out there but I'm gettin' through
Hold onOh you gotta hold on
And it don't make senseWe're no where close to your wavelengthYou might not have realised yet but you will do soon
So think fastComin' full blastAnd it's only a matter of time until we get there too
Hold onOh you gotta hold on

In time, keep on the roundsNot easy but I've seen it either breath or I'll drownAnd they don't think I hear what they've been saying aroundIt's amazing how your day can go from lazin' aroundSoon we're gonna hit the big time
All this time I've been dyin' to findSome thing to run with and brighten my mindIt only takes a second, if you can get itBut I've been spending hours tryin' to findBut soon we're gonna hit the big time

For all the times I stayed out late and left her waiting at homeFor all the times I didn’t answer my phoneFor all the instances I said I’d be better aloneI should’ve let her understand how I felt
I should’ve realised money isn’t how you measure your wealth
I didn’t know I needed nobody else 'cos I was out for myselfNow I’m in need of her help
But she took my advice and found somebody else
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden
For all the lies I told for every time that I bent the truthIf I don’t care I can’t loseAnybody can lie but you can’t lie to yourselfYou can’t pretend you don’t care, they'd be able to tell
I should’ve told her she’s the one who made me stable myselfThe legs to my table as well
She’s the girl who promised heaven that I put through hell
The one I weren’t prepared to lose who didn’t know how I felt
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden

She left before she’d even walked inShe must’ve seen that id been drinkingShe used to stand alone at the bar back thenIt’s good to understand who you are
She used to be the talk of the townI had her down as nobody’s clownYou’d question why she wasn’t with him, butShe weren’t the type you’d make wait around
You’d give a bit of somethingShe’d fill you up with nothing(And) somehow, you’d still feel you were freeShe’d let you fall in too deep
She made me in ways that others haven’tAnd played me, somehow while this happenedShe’d still save meCrying while I’m laughing again
She'd let you hang on every last wordAnd act as if it’s safe when it weren’tShe’d sit you at the front of the class andShe'd act like she’s surprised you ain’t passed
She'd give a little somethingAnd act as if it’s nothingAnd somehow you’d be happy it’s freeHow could it happen to me?

(You) told me not to callBuilt yourself a wallI’d always thought you knew the scoreBut you don’t seem to anymore
And I sold my soulYou’d turned it coldDespite what you may sayI know one day I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
You said you’d never change your mindYou were far too scared to tryYou shouted at me through the tears“We’ve been friends for far too many years”
And I fell for youAnd you felt it tooAnd that I won’t forgetMy life I’d bet, I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
And though I know
It’s gonna take some timeFor you to agreeAnd see, it’s the truthYou’ll say I weren’t scared before ‘cosIf there was one thing I was sure of, I knewI’d get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these days….

You took all I’d hoped for and wantedI wasn’t even treated to goodbyeBefore you went you came you saw you conqueredAnd I’ve got nothing left but a memory of your best
I tried to tell you that I loved youYou struggled hard for a replyI should’ve known my words had never really touched you
Despite yours always seeming to relate to mine
Your words cut me deep left me struggling to sleep
Compared to the content the tone didn’t matterYou lied through your teeth as I was struggling to speakDespite our wicked past I’d still happily have you
You taught me a thing or two about heartbreakMore than I was ever meant to learnYou’d have a habit of pulling me down until I cant ache, no moreAnd when that happened you’d let me burn
Your traits good and bad are the most exciting that I haveEver witnessed heard of or acknowledgedI wish I was mad for the fact you hurt me badThat just isn’t me if I’m being honest
I wish I was stronger than I have beenI wish you saw my weakness as a strengthI wish you’d have somehow just been happy with me for being meI wish I didn’t miss youI wish I could resist youI wish I didn’t wish this wouldn’t end
