Love me, hate me.
Just don't walk away from me.
Give me anything, anything lying between.
What am I, If I don't try to find out.
What is going on behind those eyes.
So tell me to my face.

So please...
Apologise cause I need you.
Need you to get it right.
It will all break down if you don't.
Please, the silence is killing me.
I wanna hear you say you're sorry.

You're pushing me, pulling me
to somewhere I don't want to be.
Screaming, shouting!
I'm sick of the sound of me.
You're the only one
who could put me out of my misery.
So tell me to my face.

So please...
Apologise cause I need you.
Need you to get it right.
It will all break down if you don't.
Please, the silence is killing me.
I wanna hear you say you're sorry.

I'm not so foolish to think
this has nothing to do with me.
I'm not so crazy to believe
there's one side to this story.
But you've got to give me something.
I'm getting nothing.
So just say you're sorry.

So please...
Apologise cause I need you.
Need you to get it right.
It will all break down if you don't.
Please, the silence is killing me.
I wanna hear you say you're sorry.

You're sorry
Say you're sorry, you're sorry...
Sorry...
I wanna hear you say you're sorry

. . .


Get me out of bed
The cars are out and the dogs are barking in my head
In the street below
You're staring up at my apartment
Wondering where my heart went
Wondering where the story goes

CHORUS

If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down
Would you stand on the ledge with me?
Run to the edge and take miss me
If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down


Yell at me for hours
We both know that you're calling up to the king of sour
After taste
I was a wreck before I knew you
Girl you better screw your
Courage to the sticky place

CHORUS

Oohh, ooohhh
Oohh, ooohhh
If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down
Would you stand on the ledge with me
Run to the edge and take miss me
If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down
If I let the ladder down

. . .


Did I let you down? No
Did I give you up? No
So what's it all about now?
Was it not enough?
No, no, no

It's alright, yeah
It's okay, yeah
It's alright with me
I'll be fine, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
I'll pretend at least

But if you give me something, then I'll believe it
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Stalemate with you

Used to pick me up, yeah
Like a sunken pill
And I've been thinking it through
And we worked so well

But it feels wrong, yeah
When I'm strong alone, yeah
Strong alone by you
And the words you say, yeah
Just to get your way, yeah
Well they just won't do
You got to...

Give me something, then I'll believe it
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Oh I'm in stalemate
Oh I'm in stalemate, baby
(Stalemate with you)

I need more
I need more
What are you waiting for?

It's so frustrating
(So frustrating, baby)
You got to want it
(Yeah)
I'm so frustrated with your love
What you do to me
Oh, yeah, yeah
Hey
You got me in stalemate
Oooh
Hey, hey, hey
You got me in stalemate
Hey yeah
Oooh, don't mug me, baby
Don't mug me, love
You breakin' my heart now
Don't you break my heart, no
Don't you break my heart

. . .


Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do

I'm small, I'm weak, I'm vulnerable
I know, you think, you see it all
But don't you underestimate me
I know, you think, I'm not the one
A most, unlikely, champion
But don't you underestimate me

'Cause I don't want a kingdom or a crown
'Cause I know there are angels looking down
And I'm battling giants, defiant
I'm fighting to face all of my fears
Yeah I'm fighting Galieth
With my, little David, little David tears
Little David tears

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do

The world around me rises high
I run to every do or die
With all the fortunes, arrows and slings
I know I'm just a man in love
And maybe that is not enough
But I've been a fool to lesser things

I throw my shield and armour to the ground
Faceless things that only bring me down
'Cause I'm battling giants defiant
Yes I'm fighting to face all of my fears
Yeah I'm fighting Galieth
With my little David, little David tears
With my little David, little David tears

'Cause I'm battling giants defiant
Yeah I'm fighting to face all of my fears
Yeah I'm fighting Galieth
With my little David, little David tears
Little David tears


lyrics as heard by Amy Sellen.

. . .


All the planes and the trains
And the cars and the hotel bars
It might aswell be mars
All the highs and the lows
And the "that's just the way it goes"
And you wait and you wait some more

There is no final destination
Like there's no perfect situation
so I'm...

Looking for a major stuck here in a minor key
Is to say one day I'm gonna find her
And that's the way it is

The Devil's in the details
Angel's on my shoulder
Both of them saying; one day I'm gonna hold her
And that's the way it is

All the good and the bad and the ugly
And the downright sad
Well they all attract me
And you give and you take
And you live with the choice you make
About who you're s'posed to be

And all these questions need an answer
Like where's my happy ever after?
So I'm...

Looking for a major stuck here in a minor key
Is to say one day I'm gonna find her
And that's the way it is

The Devil's in the details
Angel's on my shoulder
Both of them saying; one day I'm gonna hold her
And that's the way it is

Oh oh oh oh
little things, little things
Lead me to believe

Oh I'm...

Looking for a major stuck here in a minor key
Is to say one day I'm gonna find her
And that's the way it is

The Devil's in the details
Angel's on my shoulder
Both of them saying; one day I'm gonna hold her
And that's the way it is


Lyrics as heard by Amy Sellen.

. . .


It was a love light
And it was fleeting
And if you'd looked to me
You would have seen it
With your own eyes
It would have moved you
It stayed inside of me
It didn't pass straight through you
Exposing you to weakness
As it ran through
Hurt you more than it was meant to

Chorus
Why are you looking at me
Why you looking at me
Like I'm needing therapy
Why are you looking at me
Why you looking at me
When it's you who really needs it
To help you understand, understand
Who'll supposed to beat you
Cos when you and I break through
When you and I break through

It's in your make up
Part of your system
You take my words
And then you twist them
It didn't take long
How can you bear it
You run away
We're not even there yet
Ooh aah it feels like I mean nothing to you
Ooh aah when you treat me like push me pull you

Repeat chorus

Tell me what it takes to make you whole
Tell me how much more pain I must take
To make you notice
Love is just surrendering control
So far I'm the one who's come the closest

Repeat chorus

. . .


Here I go again
Skating on the ice
And it's silly
Cos I've fallen through it once
Never thought I'd do it twice
Oh dear me!
And I did it to get her near me

Because
She is love, she is love
She is love, she is love
She burns brighter
Than the brightest of suns
And I know there'll be one
She is love

If I just let it be
And see what it becomes
Hold steady
Cos what she gave to me
Could never be undone
Not nearly
And I live it
Sincerely

Because
She is love, she is love
She is love, she is love
She burns brighter
Than the brightest of suns
And all I care I'm one
All I care I'm one

Don't start to doubt it
Don't even think about it
Just trust that it's strong enough
She is love

She is love, she is love
She is love, she is love
She is love, she is love

. . .


What if I'm wrong
And you figure it out
That we just don't belong
And you're better off without me

The minute you're gone
I bet it would dawn on me
Suddenly, suddenly
Yeah

So what if i
What if i fall
Would you hate me
Would you let me go
What if i realised
That you're the only one
Who makes me
Who makes me whole

Blundering on
Making no sense
Without any thought
To the consiquences
But one of these days
The truth will be facing me
And i will find a way back to you again, oh

So what if i
What if i fall
Would you hate me
Would you take it all
What if i realised
That you're the only one
Who makes me
Who makes me
Who makes me whole
Yeah
Who makes me whole now

What if i
What if i find the thing that i want

The minute you're gone
I bet it would dawn on me
Suddenly, suddenly
Yeah

So what if i
What if i fall
Would u hate me
Would u take it all
What if i realised
That you're the only one
Who makes me
Can make me
Who makes me whole


lyrics as heard by Amy Sellen.

. . .


You fought with bravery
You won some of the battles you commanded
But still you won't concede
You tried to knock us down but we're still standing
The war you waged with me
Our oldest enemy

When it all plays out
And you know you know you love me
And you won't lay down
Then it's better just to let it be
There's nowhere you could hide I wouldn't find you
There's nowhere left to go
But you and I
Oh

You've all the strength in me
You played me like a drum that you could bang on
Followed your crazy beat
You shook me up to see if I could hang on
So what we fighting for
When no-one wins the war


When it all plays out
And you know you know you love me
And you won't lay down
Then it's better just to let it be
There's nowhere you could hide I wouldn't find you
There's nowhere left to go
But you and I


All this time
All this time
To get it right
Cos I'm so tired
Of fighting

And I'm all played out
And I know you know you love me
And I won't lay down
And I'm never gonna let it be
There's nowhere you could hide I wouldn't find you
There's nowhere left to go
But you and I
Oh
But you and I

. . .


What if you ever changed your mind about me?
Wouldn't you always tell me sweet white lies?
And if I ever
Told my own about you
Does that mean that someday you would say goobye?

Should I believe you?
I should say so
Should I believe you
I'll never know

Nothing can touch you
That I've ever known
You cut through emotions and you
You make your own
And now I sit here
Worship reverently
Never forgetting
What you
What you mean to me

Should I believe you?
I should say so
Should I believe you?
I'll never know

It's happened before
It'll happen again
2000 times
We're not just friends

Should I believe you?
I should say so
Should I believe you?
I'll never know

. . .


We don't care if ya
Come apart at the seams
And chase away
All our dreams
If you try enough
If you try enough
It's enough for us

I don't mind as long as
As long as you try
I don't mind as long as
Long as you try
