Someone Else

How does what I have

Fit with what you have

The pieces may grind

How does what you need

Fit with what I need

Do they combine

 

I don’t wanna find someone else like you

I don’t wanna find someone else like me

How can I tell you

I don’t want you to leave

It’s you, for me, for me, it’s you

It’s you, for me, for me, it’s you

 

How does what you want

Compare to what I want

All I want is you

Can we take what you deserve

And what I deserve

And be what’s in between

 

I don’t wanna find someone else like you

I don’t wanna find someone else like me

How can I tell you

I don’t want you to leave

It’s you, for me, for me, it’s you

It’s you, for me, for me, it’s you

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

I’ve chewed my lips apart

So now they won’t hold back

Any words they want

Come stumbling out of them

You said you didn’t need to hear it

But I know you needed my goodbye

You said you didn’t mean it

But I know you never lie,

Never lie.

 

You’ve taken your weaknesses and let them become home

A secret location to hide from the world

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

For being alone.

 

You’ve torn your head apart

So now it won’t hold anything real

Anything your heart wants

Doesn’t matter anymore

You said you never wanna hear it

But I know what you meant

You said you’d never regret staying,

But you’d already left,

Already left

 

You’ve taken your weaknesses and let them become home

A secret location to hide from the world

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

For being alone.

 

Woah, I know it’s hard to put your heart in your mouth

Forget what they said and trust

Woah, I know it’s hard to put your heart in your mouth

And act on what it wants, cause people hurt and wound you.

Woah, I know it’s hard to put your heart in your mouth,

But speaking’s much easier, once you’ve swallowed it down.

 

You’ve taken your weaknesses and let them become home

A secret location to hide from the world

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

For being alone.

 

I’ve chewed my lips apart..

So now they won’t hold back…

Any words they want,

Just come stumbling out of them.

I know, it’s hard,

Excuses, excuses,

I know, it’s hard,

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

I know, it’s hard.

Chandeliers

Hang me from your chandeliers

Tell me how it happens here

That everyone who falls in love dies young

Call the captain, call the squad,

Tell them how it all went wrong

Cause everyone who falls in love dies young

 

Children playing in the park

They just don’t know that’s how it starts

Knocking on the door, they are

He pushed her down, she pushed him back

Their hearts broke with an awful crack

Everyone who falls in love dies young

 

Skipping off to school, arm in arm

This was all you ever wanted since that day in the park

Hung up on the chandeliers, come on and take your love down

Hung up on the chandeliers,

Everyone who falls in love dies young

Everyone who falls in love dies young

Your Name

When the wind comes and your walls shake

Do you stay awake and secretly pray

When it looks like you lost the race

Do you stay awake and secretly pray

 

Your name, has left its mark on me

Has left its mark on my home

Left its mark on my love

Your name, has left its mark on me

Has left its mark on my home

Left its mark on my love

Your name

Your name

 

When your body aches and your feet are tired

Do you tell yourself it’ll be alright

When your hands are cold and your stomachs tight

Do you tell yourself it’ll be alright

 

Your name, has left its mark on me

Has left its mark on my home

Left its mark on my love

Your name, has left its mark on me

Has left its mark on my home

Left its mark on my love

Your name

Your name

 

Innocent, precarious, tell me when you’ve had enough

What can I do but wait for you, and wait it out

It’s been too long since they’ve said your name

Better make sure they know who to blame

 

Your name, has left its mark on me

Has left its mark on my home

Left its mark on my love

Your name, has left its mark on me

Has left its mark on my home

Left its mark on my love

Your name

Your name
