LYRICS
You might not feel it but I'm proud of you
You've managed something that I could never do
I really don't like to ever talk about
This kind of stuff but I need to get it out
And I won't forget how you've helped me
I wouldn't take back a single memory
I'd rather keep them right here in front of me
And as we go on with everything that's changed
It's pretty cool to see that we're still the same
And I won't forget how you've helped me
But I had all these thoughts inside my head
I had to make me better
So I tried starting something new instead
Still should've done it better
I don't know why I fell apart
Wish I had known right from the start
That I was never gonna make it
So all that's left to say is sorry
I never wanted to ever stop you
From taking on the world in the way you do
I'll never work out the things that get to me
But now you're free to fly and it's great to see
And I won't forget how you've helped me
But I couldn't live with those thoughts in my head
I had to make me better
So I tried starting something new instead
Still should've done it better
I don't know why I fell apart
Wish I had known right from the start
That I was never gonna make it
So all that's left to say is sorry
You might not feel it but I'm proud of you
Despite where I've gone I'm still here for you
You might not feel it but I'm proud of you
Wherever you go I'll be here for you

Lyrics
It's Friday night and it's just me and my guitar but
I don't think that I could be less alone
'Cos like an echo, your voice will never leave me
Three words and now I'm fine
You might be right down on such a distant shoreline
But try and stop me from ever getting there
My mind had fallen but you've just raised it up with
Three words and now I'm fine
With you my future looks bright and
I'm only afraid of the dark
I'd drive the world around to fall into your arms
And when they catch me it won't have felt so far
This road's so long but I will keep it memorised
'Cos it won't be long until I'm lost in your eyes
Thinking of beaches, surrounded by the seagulls
And noisy arcades above the freezing sea
And if I fall in, you say you'll jump and save me
I want you here with me
Thinking of posters up on your purple walls and
Just beneath them, a place to lie with you
I take your hand, then you take my breath away and
I want you here with me
With you my future looks bright and
I'm only afraid of the dark
I'd drive the world around to fall into your arms
And when they catch me it won't have felt so far
This road's so long but I will keep it memorised
'Cos it won't be long until I'm lost in your eyes
Those perfect eyes
I'd drive the world around to fall into your arms
And when they catch me it won't have felt so far
This road's so long but I will keep it memorised
'Cos it won't be long until I'm lost in your eyes
Those perfect eyes
I'm lost in your eyes

LYRICS
There's a girl I know, a piano in the dark
She's so beautiful, but her smile falls apart
She's an author of a fairytale to my eyes
But she is so scared and I'd do anything to help if I knew how
My darling, I don't know how you feel
But if you'll have me I promise I'll try
If you arrange the notes on these pages they will form a castle
A place for you to stay my princess
And I'll be there inside, watching over you
Your personal umbrella to stand between
You and the rain
Every line she writes on these bright electric pages
Acts like bubble wrap, surrounding me every night
And I feel so secure pretending I am in her arms
I've never been there but there is nowhere else that I would rather be
My darling, I'll never know how you feel
But if you'll have me I promise I'll try
If you arrange the notes on these pages they will form a castle
A place for you to stay my princess
And I'll be there inside, watching over you
Your personal umbrella to stand between
You and the rain
The years gone by might press on your mind
But if I hold your hand we can face her together
The world might try to keep you from my side
But if I stand up and fight, could I keep you forever?
If you arrange the notes on these pages they will form a castle
A place for you to stay my princess
And I'll be there inside, watching over you
Your personal umbrella to stand between
You and the rain
There's a girl I know, a piano in the dark
She's so beautiful

LYRICS
There are times when I think to myself it's pointless
Why do I do this?
Should I just give up and forget?
There are times when I don't even know why
I just waste all my time by
Dreaming a life I need to make
But there's a reason I carry on
In fact, I could name quite a few
But the reason that's on my mind
Is what I'm fighting for
She runs back home, puts her headphones on
She plays my songs just to sing along
She throws my words at her bedroom wall
And she hasn't got the slightest clue at all
What it means to me
There are times when the spark of an idea takes me
And I feel it all embrace me as it circles around my head
But I just lose all motivation
I'm soaked up in aggravation
Forcing myself to sleep instead
But there's a reason I'll carry on
In fact, I could name quite a few
But the reason that's on my mind
Is what I'm fighting for
She runs back home, puts her headphones on
She plays my songs just to sing along
She throws my words at her bedroom wall
And she hasn't got the slightest clue at all
What it means to me
She runs back home, plays her favourite song
She knows the words like they're all her own
I guess that I'm just another line
In a long list of bands designed to pass the time
But she means the world to me

LYRICS
I'm a mess, too tired to play
Tell you to go but I wish you'd stay
It's pretty hard to find an answer and I push it away
There's only one
I'm a pawn in a self-made game
And as I'm thrown to the floor, I'd say
To never listen when it tells you that I'll be okay
There's only one
And it's you
You
Just you
You
I haven't even figured out myself
I don't know how you'll stand a chance in hell but
I know you're trying and you've gotta believe me
I know you're there and every time that you see
I'm suffocating all my thoughts inside a duvet
The heat is rising and it hurts
And I need you
I need you
You
You
Just you
You
Just you

LYRICS
As my head hits the pillow and you start to sleep
So soundly next to me
The faintest swerve of the wheel or the build-up to the trigger
Hold my sleep
And I don't know when this happened to me
And I don't know how to find another way
Can you save me?
Because I don't know how to
Can you save me?
I'm scared that I don't want to
Without a single sound around me, the loudest silence makes
My body start to shake
The painful itch beneath my skin starts to romanticise
The path it craves to take
And I don't like the way this changes me
And I don't want this to become me
Can you save me?
Because I don't know how to
Can you save me?
I'm scared that I don't want to

LYRICS
Take a breath now, you're almost there
Give some life to that vacant stare
That's taking over, making you blind
To any hope that you'll get out someday
I guess I can't talk but let me say
That if you think straight, you know you'll find
That whilst I'll never be
Any magic fix we need
I'll damn well try
Even though you're countless miles away
I can sense all the things that you would say
Wish I could tell you to just hold on tight
'Cos if we fight it we'll be okay
It feels so long but at least we take
Another day every time we say goodnight
And though I will never be
Any magic fix we need
I'll always try
'Cos I will be there in the end (just hold on my darling)
I'll watch over you 'til then (even from afar and)
And tonight we're all right
Not a single tear in sight
Because I will be there in the end
When September comes around
I will be there in the end
I'll watch over you 'til then
And tonight we're all right
Not a single tear in sight
'Cos I will be there in the end
The end
'Cos I will be there in the end (just hold on my darling)
I'll watch over you 'til then (even from afar and)
And tonight we're all right
Not a single tear in sight
'Cos I will be there in the end
When September comes around
