LYRICS:
He is stark mad, whoever says,
That he hath been in love an hour,
Yet not that love so soon decays,
But that it can ten in less space devour ;
Who will believe me, if I swear
That I have had the plague a year?
Who would not laugh at me, if I should say
I saw a flash of powder burn a day?
Ah, what a trifle is a heart,
If once into love's hands it come !
All other griefs allow a part
To other griefs, and ask themselves but some ;
They come to us, but us love draws ;
He swallows us and never chaws ;
By him, as by chain'd shot, whole ranks do die ;
He is the tyrant pike, our hearts the fry.
If 'twere not so, what did become
Of my heart when I first saw thee?
I brought a heart into the room,
But from the room I carried none with me.
If it had gone to thee, I know
Mine would have taught thine heart to show
More pity unto me ; but Love, alas !
At one first blow did shiver it as glass.
Yet nothing can to nothing fall,
Nor any place be empty quite ;
Therefore I think my breast hath all
Those pieces still, though they be not unite ;
And now, as broken glasses show
A hundred lesser faces, so
My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,
But after one such love, can love no more.

Mon Amour

|
LYRICS:
How could you look the same but feel so different?
It’s just one of the many things I ask myself
When it came to love, we were the perfect picture
Then you went and changed it into something else
I never thought it would be you
That would put me in this space
And even if I wanted to
This would never be the same
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
What have you done to me?
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
Why are you wrecking me?
Yeah we all make mistakes
But this one won't go away
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
What have you done to me?
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
How could you kiss me with the lips that kissed her?
I believed you when you said there’s no one else
Instead of coming clean you let me wash the dishes
Are we moving on or are we reliving hell?
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
What have you done to me?
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
Why are you wrecking me?
Yeah we all make mistakes
But this one won't go away
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
What have you done to me?
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
Yeah we all make mistakes
But this one won’t go away
Yeah we all make mistakes
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour
Yeah we all make mistakes
But this one won’t go away
Yeah we all make mistakes
Oh mon amour, oh mon amour

Being Brave Is Stupid
03:14

|
LYRICS:
Being brave is stupid
It doesn’t make any sense at all
You know that easy life and easy come
Is easier said than done
If you wanna make it right
You choose it
No matter what you say, there’s some
Truth in everything you’ve done
If you wanna make it right
Just do it
La nuit s'épaississait ainsi qu'une cloison,
Et mes yeux dans le noir devinaient tes prunelles,
Et je buvais ton souffle, ô douceur ! ô poison !
Et tes pieds s'endormaient dans mes mains fraternelles.
La nuit s'épaississait ainsi qu'une cloison.
Being brave is stupid
It doesn’t make any sense at all
You know that easy life and easy come
Is easier said than done
If you wanna make it right
You choose it
No matter what you say, there’s some
Truth in everything you’ve done
If you wanna make it right
Just do it
Je sais l'art d'évoquer les minutes heureuses,
Et revis mon passé blotti dans tes genoux.
Car à quoi bon chercher tes beautés langoureuses
Ailleurs qu'en ton cher corps et qu'en ton cœur si doux ?
Je sais l'art d'évoquer les minutes heureuses !
Ces serments, ces parfums, ces baisers infinis

Stranger

LYRICS:
This house looks different
Nothing feels the same
It’s like you don’t recognize
that everything has changed
Our bed feels different
I try to fill the space
Fall asleep in a mirage
but you’re still far away
Tell me, stranger, was I in love with a stranger?
You used to make me feel better
Now I don’t know
Tell me, stranger, was I in love with a stranger?
I thought I knew you better
Now I don’t know
I’m making peace with every consequence
Looking for an easy out
Tell me are we still pretending?
‘Cause our words get tangled
They come out fast and thin
I don’t know how to explain it
but I’m disintegrating
Tell me, stranger, was I in love with a stranger?
You used to make me feel better
Now I don’t know
Tell me, stranger, was I in love with a stranger?
I thought I knew you better
Now I don’t know
We can't start from the beginning
But we can start from here
We can't start from the beginning
But we can start from here
Stranger…

LYRICS:
I wake up crying
I was crying in my dreams again last night
I think I’m dying
While you pour your coffee
I sit here with mine
Tears dripping inside
I can’t explain it, i can’t stop it disconnecting, I’m not complaining
But today i’m tired
I learned how to fake it, My depression’s a familiar face, i face it
I’m tired of fighting
So I’ll put on a happy face
And i can hold the whole world up again
Living’s got a taste
It can be bitter some days
And i, i’m sensitive
I feel numb
Sometimes it’s easier to not feel anything
There’s so much
I’m avoiding, yeah i smile so no one sees
I’m curled up inside
I got empathy, it’s a blessing and curse
I feel for others when they hurt
I can’t control it, I’m an open book, I try to do what I’m told
But today I’m tired
So I’ll put on a happy face
And i can hold the whole world up again
Living’s got a taste
It can be bitter some days
And i, i’m sensitive
Heartbreak
Heartbreak
Heartbreak
Heartbreak

What Did You Say
03:30
|

|
LYRICS:
What did you say
What did you say
To make her love you
Did you tell her she was worth it
That with me it wasn’t working out
Did you tell her I existed
Or that you were hers
I didn’t know any better
Making plans while you wrote her letters
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know
But I ask anyway
What did you say to her
To make her love you
Did you tell her she was special
Did you tell her you were taken
What did you say to her
To make her love you
Did you tell her that you’d miss her
Or that you’d be coming back
What did you say, what did you say
What did you say
To make her love you
To make her love you
Did you tell her she was perfect
Here I thought I was your chosen one
When you said you couldn’t help it
Did you think how it’d hurt
Then you went and bought a ticket
Round trip when you both knew better
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know
No, I don’t wanna know
What did you say
What did you say to her
To make her love you
Did you tell her she was special
Did you tell her you were taken
What did you say to her
To make her love you
Did you tell her you would miss her
Or that you’d be coming back
What did you say, what did you say
To make her love you
To make her love you
What did you say, what did you say
To make her love you
To make her love you
What did you say, what did you say
What did you say
To make her love you

Luxembourg

LYRICS:
He went looking for safety in an unsafe world
For someone who saw him, went headfirst
He knew the risk of finding purpose
In luxembourg
The taste the freedom in danger
Was just what he needed, like an answer
He put it all behind her curtain
In luxembourg
The world is a strange place for dreamers
An open cage for a free bird
He knew that he was making secrets
In luxembourg
He'd seen what could happen, seen the worst
A father who taught him in errors
He turned into another version
In luxembourg
All he wanted was a symphony
To play his life like it was meant to be
All that time, he believed
He’d find it in Luxembourg

Blame

LYRICS:
Ease up, I’m not ready
I resemble someone strong but I’m not steady
Every muscle I have left, I flex and flex again but they won’t let me
So I damn em to the end, it’s nothing that you said
Guess I’m empty
There’s no other way to frame it
There’s no one to blame here, nobody
We don’t need to blame, blame
We don’t need to blame
There’s no other way to frame it
There’s no one to blame here, nobody
We don’t need to blame, blame
We don’t need to blame, blame
Wake up, I’m remembering
It’s so fragile like my hands, look, I’m trembling
Every second I have left, I’m less and less and less, I’m a memory
(will you remember me?)
So I damn the emptiness, it’ll take you with the rest
Are you ready?
There’s no other way to frame it
There’s no one to blame here, nobody
We don’t need to blame, blame
We don’t need to blame
There’s no other way to frame it
There’s no one to blame here, nobody
We don’t need to blame, blame
We don’t need to blame, blame
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother
Don’t blame me, don’t blame me
Blame me, Don’t blame me
We don’t need to blame, blame
We don’t need to blame, blame

I wore an orange dress with cat eyes and bare feet
I don’t remember every second but I remember the feeling
You said I’m so sixties
I could see you were surprised
Who dresses up for a goodbye?
Was it relief you felt?
Is that why you sighed?
You took a jacket off the hanger and I put on Billie Holiday
You thought I’d be bitter but instead I twirled your hair
Like I used to
When we were familiar
When you weren’t a stranger
And we weren’t a failure
And then
Respite came when we least expected it
Like gravity forgot to hold us down and for a moment we were free
Smiling for no reason other than it felt good
To be you and me
I wanted to feel good
Before the walls were empty and your books were gone
Before the sadness filled the whole room
And every memory
Where we once belonged
I said, Dance with me
Let’s not cry
Tonight sadness doesn’t get to decide
We were us again
Bedtime stories, we were enough again
We made love with the past
So we could love again
I would walk through the fire for you
Dive into any depth for you
Wouldn’t expect any less
From you
I would walk through the fire for you
Dive into any depth for you
Wouldn’t expect any less
From you

Double Life
03:32
|

LYRICS:
I’m in the middle of the faces I put on myself
I’m a little of everything
Caught in the middle, I’m telling myself
There’s a time when you let go
Enter the mirror space, I’m changing sides but
Who knew the sleeping maze would mean goodbye
Here in your arms I slip away from you
Guess I lead a double life but
One that brings me back to you
I’m holding on and I need it
As long as I know that I’m dreaming
Guess I lead a double life but
One that brings me back to you
I’m holding on and I need it
As long as I know…
Stop
I’m in a riddle, in a circle
A world on a string
Or that’s how it seems
If i’m all the layers
Then I’m everything
I lay down and I let go
Enter the mirror space, I’m changing sides but
Who knew the sleeping maze would mean goodbye
Here in your arms I slip away from you
And I need it
Guess I lead a double life but
One that brings me back to you
I’m holding on and I need it
As long as I know that I’m dreaming
Guess I lead a double life but
One that brings me back to you
I’m holding on and I need it
As long as I know…
If you wonder where I go when I go
you should know that I need it
Cause there are places we all go
We all know no one else ever sees them
So if you wonder where I go
Now you know where I go when I need it
Guess I lead a double life but
one that brings me back to you

LYRICS:
Blame it on my foolish heart
It ain’t over yet
I want you again
Maybe we all fall apart
But I’m not broken
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned moment
I surrender
I give it up to things bigger than me
Thought last september
Was more than I could handle, now i see
I’m still breathing
There are things we can’t control
My love for you is one of those
You know, you make it easy
I never thought I could get past
The pain in every photograph
Somehow I feel it leaving
So blame it on my foolish heart
It ain’t over yet
I want you again
Maybe we all fall apart
But I’m not broken
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned
Old-fashioned moment
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned
Old-fashioned moment
I forgave you
Before I realized it was happening
Took it for granted
That happy ending fell right out of reach
I'm still reaching
There are things we can’t control
My love for you is one of those
You know, you make it easy
I never thought I could get past
The pain in every photograph
Somehow I feel it leaving
Blame it on my foolish heart
It ain’t over yet
I want you again
Maybe we all fall apart
But I’m not broken
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned
Old-fashioned moment
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned
Old-fashioned moment
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned moment
Old-fashioned moment
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned moment
Old-fashioned moment
Like an old-fashioned moment
Ça va ma chérie?
Je suis sur la route
Ça me fait penser à toi
Tout me fait penser à toi
Like an old-fashioned moment
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned moment
Old-fashioned moment
My eyes are open like an old fashioned moment
Old-fashioned moment
My eyes are open like an old-fashioned moment
An old-fashioned moment
Like an old-fashioned moment
Like an old-fashioned moment
