Baby, I'm Afraid
02:51
|

There’s something going on,
I think we both know it’s been gone on way too long
All of the feeling’s gone,
There’s no chemistry
Who is responsible?
You're looking guilty
And as far as I know
I never a played a part in any of this
Can you see that, baby, I’m afraid
That every choice that I have ever made
Has led me here but there’s nothing I can do
You’re everything to me I’ll never be to you
So what’s the story?
Did you ignore me
Or was it unintentional?
Did I mistake you for an arsehole?
Can you see that, baby, I’m afraid
That every choice that I have ever made
Has led me here but there’s nothing I can do
You’re everything to me I’ll never be to you
I still get lonely
I can’t remember what my life was like before
Was I too boring?
Was I soul destroying?
Can you see that, baby, I’m afraid
That every choice that I have ever made
Has led me here but there’s nothing I can do
You’re everything to me I’ll never be to you
Oh, you’re everything to me I’ll never be to you
Oh, you’re everything to me I’ll never be to you

Wreck
02:52
|
|||
It’s in the silence that I start to fall apart
I hate the way you’re running rings around my heart
I’m growing tense, I feel ashamed
Will I ever be myself again?
I don’t know if I’ll ever be myself again
I’m a wreck
This could kill me, I should quit while I’m ahead
And give in
But if I don't play there’s no way I can win
There’s something in your voice that makes me feel so small
Why do I care about things that are trivial?
I’m throwing caution to the wind
I don’t know how it will end
No, I don’t know how it will end
I’m a wreck
This could kill me, I should quit while I’m ahead
And give in
But if I don't play there’s no way I can win
One good turn deserves another
You don’t feel the same, but I’m still in love, oh

All hail the great destroyer
Regret and paranoia
I never wanted to make this awkward
Shut down and then I caught ya
Hiding out like you always seem to do
You see me, but I can’t see you
Won’t you please come and rescue me?
I’ve spent too many years in this black hole, baby
Oh please come and rescue me
Now time is folding in and I can’t escape it
I’ve got no motivation,
My confidence is shaken.
I gotta modify my expectations,
This situation’s taken
Me somewhere that I really don’t want to be
I see you, but you can’t see me
Won’t you please come and rescue me?
I’ve spent too many years in this black hole, baby
Oh please come and rescue me
Now time is folding in and I can’t escape it

The Right Thing (Part I)
02:10
|
|||
You came back, but it wasn’t the same
I saw right through you, the dynamic changed
I held on though my heart was weathered
Don’t want to be alone, so we should stick together
I tried so hard to do the right thing
I was so hung up, it’s embarrassing
You wouldn’t talk, you wouldn’t let me in
What a disaster that would have been
Maybe I don’t deserve to be happy
So I keep looking for something that will hurt me
I tried so hard to do the right thing
I was so hung up, it’s embarrassing

You bruise like a peach
Sweetest on a summer’s day
How we whiled the hours away
It’s starting to get dark again
It’s been harder
Harder since I moved away
Harder since the hurricane
Disturbed the peace inside my brain
Time won’t wait
I’m falling behind
What have I been doing?
What’s the use?
Now here’s more bad news
It’s the hope that kills you
I’m searching for answers
On another sleepless night
Tell me things will be alright
You’ll see me on the other side
I’m growing tired
Tired of the same routine
Tired of the space between
We say ‘I love you’ to a screen
Time won’t wait
I’m falling behind
What have I been doing?
What’s the use?
Now here’s more bad news
It’s the hope that kills you
Time won’t wait
I’m falling behind
What have I been doing my whole life?
Oh, what’s the use?
Now here’s more bad news
It’s the hope that kills you
Time won’t wait, fall behind
What have I been doing my whole life?
What’s the use? Now here’s more bad news
It’s the hope that kills you

Cassini

Countdown
Until we let go
You had it coming
You’re going solo
An expedition of the lonely; engines ignite
You’re on a mission, baby, better play your cards right
Think back
October fifteen
The day you left me
I thought it was a dream
Send me a picture of the planet that you’re orbiting
I’m still here and you’re going on to better things
Don’t destroy yourself for me
I just wanna know what it’s like out there, Cassini
Don’t destroy yourself for me
Oh, I just wanna know what it’s like
I just wanna know what it’s like
Silence
Another broken heart
Did you feel anything
When it tore you apart?
Even though we knew that someday you would disappear
It didn’t make it any easier
Don’t destroy yourself for me
I just wanna know what it’s like out there, Cassini
Don’t destroy yourself for me
Oh, I just wanna know what it’s like
I just wanna know what it’s like

What You Wanted
02:30
|
|||
Felt my heart sink when I heard the news
They’ve lit the fuse
I’m staying still til I have the proof
Can you really take their word for it
Take a look at yourself, get a clue
I never said I thought it was true
I held a light for you
When everybody wanted
To leave you in the dark
Did you get what you wanted?
I hope you’re happy now, oh
I want to know if you’re feeling okay?
And you say
You’ve had another terrible day
Now you know
If you wanna be the good guy, stay out of it
There’s no telling what they will do
I never said I thought it was true
I held a light for you
When everybody wanted
To leave you in the dark
Did you get what you wanted?
I hope you’re happy now, oh

I Won't Survive
03:18
|

Frozen out, now it’s creeping in
I’m a mess, I am restless, I’m not sleeping
I’m sorry, but I can’t go out tonight
There’s something wrong with me, I don’t feel right
Can’t work it out, no, it’s all a mystery
I’ll see you when I’m feeling better
Made a full recovery
I’m still learning how to understand my mind
Why do I feel like this if everything is fine?
I’ll let you down, I won’t survive
If this is it I don’t wanna be alive
I’m sorry, but I can’t go out tonight
There’s something wrong with me, I don’t feel right
I’m still learning how to understand my mind
Why do I feel like shit if everything is fine?
I’ll let you down, I won’t survive
If this is it I don’t wanna be alive

Forget About Me
03:07
|
|||
I’ve been torn up, I’ve been let down
And all my hopes turned into doubts
You said, “there’s been so much going on,
I haven’t had the time to figure this out”
“Oh no, did I do something wrong?
I never meant to hurt anyone.
I wish that I could make amends”
Boy, you’ve really outdone yourself this time
Say what you want, it’s over
Save your sympathy
Do what you want, it’s over
You’ll forget about me
Thought I was immune to this behaviour,
but now I’m asking for a saviour
Oh, I am resilient
Better bend than break
We all make mistakes
Say what you want, it’s over
Save your sympathy
Do what you want, it’s over
You’ll forget about me

It's Not U, It's Me
03:20

I didn’t want to get up this morning
Closed my eyes, saw the visions forming
I’m making plans to stay in,
So I can run it through my brain
I didn’t listen to the warning
Oh no, what a shame
Darling you have never let me down before
I keep waiting for you to,
But you never do
Darling you were never gonna let me fall
With nothing to hold on to
And I never do
Something changed, I could feel the tension
You could sense my apprehension
I wish I could believe in myself
Like I believe in you
I think I just need some attention
It’s a trap I fell into
Darling you have never let me down before
I keep waiting for you to
But you never do
Darling you were never gonna let me fall
With nothing to hold on to
And I never do
Ooh
I get so stuck inside my head
I can’t escape the sense of dread
All the self help books that I read
Did nothing
Ooh
Darling you have never let me down before
Darling you have never let me down before
Darling you were never gonna let me fall
With nothing to hold on to

I found out
What do you want me to say?
I get so lonely
And you’re so far away
It’s too bad
I really hate myself
So ordinary
I want to be somebody else
I tried so hard to do the right thing
I was so hung up, it’s embarrassing
When you told me
“I can’t do this anymore”
Why did I stick around?
What was I waiting for?
You moved on
And I fell off the radar
I still call you my friend,
But I don't know if we are
I tried so hard to do the right thing
I was so hung up, it’s embarrassing
