FAILURE
I hate the way I stand somehow I used to be taller
And if there was a bright side now it feels so much duller
I used to think my world was big but it's gotten so much smaller
Sitting at the wheel but I can't set it in motion
Think I took a wrong turn I feel sick at that notion
If worry were the rain then I would drown in an open ocean
I don't wanna
Feel
Feel like this
Please don't make it
Real
I can't miss (oh)
And nothing broke me like a smile from a stranger
Can't shake the feeling that they know I'm a failure
I used to have a plan but that was just a delusion
Burying my head cos I can't find a solution
And they can see me shine
But it's only an illusion
I don't wanna
Feel
Feel like this
Please don't make it
Real
I can't miss (oh)
And nothing broke me like a smile from a stranger
Can't shake the feeling that they know I'm a failure
Ooh
I'm on a knife edge of it all (everyone's proud of you back home)
Everyone's proud but do they know?
I don't wanna
Feel
Feel like this
Please don't make it
Real
I can't miss
I don't wanna
Feel
Feel like this
Please don't make it
Real
I can't miss (oh oh)
And nothing broke me like a smile from a stranger
Can't shake the feeling that they know I'm a failure
And nothing broke me like a smile from a stranger
Can't shake the feeling that they know I'm a failure

THIS WAS NEVER LOVE
That was the table we sat when I poured my heart out to you
That was the seat you said nothing the way that you always do
Cracks turned to shards
Rubble to dust
Til there was nothing left to glue
And it was sad
Sad how you left
Me with the hardest part to do
This was never love
This was never love
Mmm
I feel full colour and all that you do is in monochrome
Blind to my shame and the pressure the first time we were alone
You're made of wood
But I can be fire
I can be ice and glass and stone
You buried your head
Cos you were a coward
Left me to face it on my own
This was never love
This was never love
I kept all my heart
It still broke apart
Broke apart
Stare through the window at ghosts of us there in our faded hue
There was a time in my life when I thought that I hated you
But wounds turn to scars
Faded old marks
Marks that you barely feel no more
And looking back
It's hard to tell
What all my tears were wasted for
Sitting at home
Dusk at the beach
Cos you know she would hurt the worst
And I got your note
And I left it unread
Cos now at last I put me first
This was never love
This was never love
I kept all my heart
It still broke apart
Oh yeah
This was never love
This was never love
I kept all my heart
It still broke apart
Broke apart

A MIND MADE OF SKY (THIS TOO SHALL PASS)
You’re lost again
Don’t recognise this place but you know it
It’s back again
Crept in and you barely even noticed
But this too shall pass
This too, this too shall pass
Emotions are the weather on a mind made of sky
Maybe you can’t see it but there’s blue still behind
And sometimes there are storms so big
They swallowed all of your light
It’s alright
They don’t last
This too shall pass
This too, this too shall pass
This place called home
Still there but they boarded up the windows
Stands all alone
There’s ghosts still littering this place though
This too shall pass
This too, this too shall pass
Emotions are the weather on a mind made of sky
Maybe you can’t see it but there’s blue still behind
And sometimes there are storms so big
They swallowed all of your light
It’s alright
They don’t last
This too shall pass
This too, this too shall pass
Oh
This too, this too shall pass
All we need is time
Time will make it better
All we need is time
Shelter from the weather
All we need is time
Oh time will make it better
All we need is time
Gonna shelter from the weather
Emotions are the weather on a mind made of sky
Maybe you can’t see it but there’s blue still behind
The shadow of a storm so big
It swallowed all of your light
It’s alright
It don’t last
This too shall pass
This too this too shall pass
Oh
This too, this too shall pass

I’LL SEE YOU
These are the days that were made for rumination
Of bad ideas and the need for validation
They say don’t look back
You’re not going that way
But I look anyway
And I see you
Down the line
Hundred-miles-a-minute kinda girl of mine
I feel you
All the time
Scenes that I have lived through playing on my mind
Did you ever see such a sad and lonely scene
As two loose ends hanging caught in the could have been
I won’t turn my back
Upon the ghosts of yesterday
They made me this way (two three!)
And I see you
Down the line
Hundred-miles-a-minute kinda girl of mine
I feel you
All the time
Scenes that I have lived through playing on my mind
And left you
Feeling bad
Nothing really anyone can do about that
Just know it
Turned out fine
Everybody fears being left behind
Make peace with your shadow, shadow
I know, I know
Forgiveness, so hard though, I know
I know, I know
Bitter pill to swallow, I know
I know, I know
But holding on
It won’t serve anyone
Won’t serve anyone
And I see you
Down the line
Hundred-miles-a-minute kinda girl of mine
I feel you
All the time
Scenes that I have lived through and I left behind
And I see you
Down the line
Hundred-miles-a-minute kinda girl of mine (girl of mine)
I feel you
All the time (all the time)
Scenes that I have lived through playing on my mind
And left you (left you)
Feeling bad
Nothing really anyone can do about that
Just know it
Turned out fine
Everybody fears being left
behind

ROSE TINTED
(Rose)
Thought I was onto something
Turned out that it was nothing
Lord I'm so tired of talking while my life keeps slipping away
I play it by the letter
Thought I could've done things better but the
Future scares me to death and it's closer every day
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where the hell the time goes
And how do you know, how do you know
How to let go
I've taken my time but now I see
A change in the light marked a change in me
And the black in my soul left me jaded
I used to see red and now it's faded
The grudges I hold stick close to me
Being my best bad company
I was so mad when I was in it
Now it's all rose colour tinted (rose)
Rose
Tinted
Rose
Tinted
Rose
Rose
Head strong foot to the metal
Strange how the dust had settled cos I
Thought I was something special but you learn some every day
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where we'll be tomorrow
And how do you know, how do you know
How to let go (should I let go)
I've taken my time but now I see
A change in the light marked a change in me
The black in my soul left me jaded
I used to see red and now it's faded
The grudges I hold stick close to me
Being my best bad company
I was so mad when I was in it
Now it's all rose colour tinted (rose)
Rose
Tinted
Rose
Tinted
Rose
Rose
Hating on you such a waste of my time
Stepping on my
Peace of mind
And I still feel you in the passenger side
The window seat
By my bedside
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
How do you know
How do you know
How do you know
I've taken my time but now I see
A change in the light marked a change in me
How the black in my soul left me jaded
I used to see red and now it's faded
The grudges I hold stick close to me
Being my best bad company
I was so mad when I was in it
Now it's all rose colour tinted (rose)
Rose
Tinted

SKIN AND BONE
Well maybe it's the changing in the weather
Or I look I found there in your jaded eyes
Another season gone to dust forever
A new day come to find us where our bodies lie
Skin and bone
Heart and lung
I couldn't see it when I was young
Now I talk about it in every song
And as another year falls like leaves to the ground
I'm in awe how through the darkness you can stay so fair and mild
Don't you think that this silence is an awful sound
My roots here weak like the fingers of a child
Skin and bone
Heart and lung
I couldn't see it when I was young
Now I talk about it in every song
I'm stood right where I'm meant to be
It's clarity
I'm stood right where I'm meant to be
It's clarity oh
She said I
Have no fear
How that was a bad idea oh
But all my love
How you got no idea
You've got no idea
How my life hurries by like a storm burst river
I'm a leaf in the flow
I can't deliver one grain of security
How the pain of that's killing me
Skin and bone
Heart and lung
I couldn't see it when I was young
I'm stood right where I'm meant to be
It's clarity
I'm stood right where I'm meant to be
I couldn't see it when I was young
I was young
I couldn't see it when I was young
I couldn't see it
I couldn't see it when I was young
Now I talk about it in every song
