Daniel Merriweather Album

New York , she sits and crys
She's had her moment of glory
Stands up then she took the dive
From the sixty first story
Now I don't how it evens out
Once I saw there's nothing there in her eyes
But she goes on and on, she goes on

New York, now that I've arrived
It's like a joke that ain't funny
It ain't how you spend your time
Its what you get for your money
But I don't know how I stayed alive
I'm infatuated with the human mind
And I go on and on I go on and on

But I don't know how we will survive
'Cos it feels if we are running out of time
And we go on and on , on and on

Can we go on …

I could do anything
I did say anything
I would try anything
For your love
I will run anywhere
I would go anywhere
I will walk anywhere
For your love

Girl I probably said some corny lines
That I know you've heard a thousand times
I would do anything & everything to express my love with you
I don't care what I got to do

A thousand armies couldn't stop me no
Cause there ain't nothing impossible
There ain't nothing nothing
Nothing impossible for your love your love

No matter what people say
No matter how far you stray
I would go all the way
For your love your love
No matter how great or small
No matter how tall the wall
Winter spring summer fall
I'll do it all for your love
Your love

Girl I know I said some corny lines
That you probably heard a thousand times
I would do anything & everything to express my love with you
I don't care what I got to do

A thousand armies couldn't stop me no
Cause there ain't nothing impossible
There ain't nothing nothing
Nothing impossible for your love your love
Stormy weather couldn't stop me no
Cause there ain't nothing impossible
There ain't nothing nothing
Nothing impossible for your love your love your love

There is nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing impossible
Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing impossible
Oh no nothing nothing for your love your love

There ain't nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing impossible
Nothing nothing nothing nothing impossible
Oh no nothing nothing for your love your love your love your love

A thousand armies couldn't stop me no
Cause there ain't nothing impossible
There ain't nothing nothing
Nothing impossible for your love your love
Stormy weather couldn't stop me no
Cause there ain't nothing impossible
There ain't nothing nothing
Nothing impossible for your love your love your love

(Feat. Wale)

(Verse 1)
Everyone loves you,
But they don love you like i do.
Everyone knows you,
But they aint seen this side of you.
I'm over the measure,
As one shot turns into four.
And i end up injured,
As love turns into war.

oh woo oh
Who woo oh oh
oh woo oh
Who woo oh oh

(chorus)
When i get over you,
And get the dirt off my shoulder.
Will i look like a fool,
Or just a whole lot older.

Givin myself to you,
is like givin myself to a chainsaw.
You keep cuttin me open why,
Is that the only thing that your good for.
Givin myself to you,
is like givin myself to a chainsaw.
You keep cuttin me open why,
Is that the only thing that your good for.

(Verse 2)
I cant remember,
How we started this thing.
But i know i was better,
Before you pulled the strings.
Something to mention,
Before you kill me so.
I wont be the last one,
The last one thats for sure.

oh woo oh
Who woo oh oh
oh woo oh
Who woo oh oh

(chorus)
When i get over you,
And get the dirt off my shoulder.
Will i look like a fool,
Or just a whole lot older.

Givin myself to you,
is like givin myself to a chainsaw.
You keep cuttin me open why,
Is that the only thing that your good for.
Givin myself to you,
is like givin myself to a chainsaw.
You keep cuttin me open why,
Is that the only thing that your good for.

(Verse 3)
What you gonna do when you've had enough.
What u gonna say when it's all to late.
What you gonna do when you fall in love,
How you gonna feel when it hurts the same.
What you gonna do when you've had enough.
What u gonna say when it's all to late.
Staring at the things that you broke apart,
And you know you cant put 'em back again.

Givin myself to you,
is like givin myself to a chainsaw.
You keep cuttin me open why,
Is that the only thing that your good for.
Givin myself to you,
is like givin myself to a chainsaw.
You keep cuttin me open why,
Is that the only thing that your good for.

hey ey ey

(Givn myself to you is like givin myself to a chainsaw)
(Givn myself to you is like givin myself to a chainsaw)
(Givn myself to you is like givin myself to a chainsaw)
(Givn myself to you is like givin myself to a chainsaw)
(Givn myself to you is like givin myself to a chainsaw)
(Givn myself to you is like givin myself to a chainsaw)
(Givn myself to you is like givin myself to a chainsaw)
(Givn myself to you)

i wasn't gonna drink tonight, then i went to a bar
i wasn't gonna start that fight but they pushed me way too far,
and oooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh, you would never know,
oooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh, you would never know

i wasn't gonna watch the game, now i'm shouting at the ball
i checked my phone and saw your name, so i must of missed your call
i wasn't gonna place that bet, but they said it'd take the fault
now my clothes smell like cigarettes, but i don't smoke at all,
oooooh, you would never know,
oooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh, you would never know

oooh, and i was out, having fun, and i was out of line
when i thought i was staying young i was staying out in my mind
life is like an old cassette, that you can't rewind
now my clothes smell like cigarettes and it happens all the time
oooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh, you would never know,
oooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh, you would never know

love and sex and tv sets, we never left my room
i used to speak of old regrets, maybe i spoke too soon
i thought that i did my best, now i know that isn't true
coz my clothes smell like cigarettes, and they used to smell like you

uh, heyy etc etc
(used to smell like you)
heyy, used to smell like you heyy-yeah
(used to smell like you)
hey yyeah

what happened, what happened oh-ho-oh

i thought i did my best, now i know that isn't true
now my clothes smell like cigarettes, when they used to smell like you

And I'm alright
Standing in the streetlights here
Is this meant for me
My time on the outside is over
We don't know how you're spending
all of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names
Cause love isn't here

Chorus
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red

No sympathy
When shouting out is all you know
Behind your lies
I can see the secrets you don't show
We don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names
Cause love isn't here

Chorus
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When - you took something perfect
And painted it red

You take the best things from
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Oooh, you take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Oohhhh

Chorus
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
anekatips.com
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it "red"

When - you took something perfect
And painted it red
(repeat)
You took something perfect
And painted it red

I hope Your not a butterfly thats gonna spread its wing and fly away
I hope yo not the moving type that's gonna up and pack and walk away
i need you to be there to treat me like you care
i need you to be where anywhere i need you
i need you to myself to layin with anyone else
i need you next to me for always

could you be my sunshine on a cloudy day
could you be my yellow when im feeling grey

i need you to be there to treat me like you care
i need yu to be where anywhere i need you
i need you to myself to layin with anyone else
i need you next to me for always

could you be my sunshine on a cloudy day
could you be my yellow when im feeling grey
could you be my river and help me float away
could you be my sunshine on a cloudy day

Yesterday i made you cry, it didnt even phase me when your tears rolled down. I was so convinced that i was right, that you never even tried to bring me round.

And these rules, are getting tangled in my body, these rules it's gonna hurt when you pull them out...

Look at what you made do, i was only tryin to save the world, but i forgot about asking you.
But look at what you made me say, i'm using crosswords on the radio, telling you to change your ways.
Look at what i've become, thought that i was everything you dreamed of, but you were dreamin of getting out, and now i can't get my ass off the couch.

Nicotine and alcohol, anything to fill the hole, cos it's all too much. There's nothing i can talk about, of course i'm gonna shut you out. I can hardly blame you cos you got me stuck yeah yeah.

But these rules, are getting tangled in my body, these rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out.

look at what you made me do, i was just about to save the world when i forgot about asking you. Look at what what you made me say, i'm using crosswords on the radio, telling you to change your way.
look at what ive become thought i was everything you dreamed of, but you were dreamin of getting out, and now i can't get my ass off the couch

Because of you..

come angel fly away, angel leave today, but you never go, how these rules, got tangled in our body, these rules, its gonna hurt when you pull them out

But look at what you made me do, i was just about to save the world when i forgot about asking you. Look at what what you made me say, i'm using crosswords on the radio, telling you to change your ways.
look at what ive become thought i was everything you dreamed of, but you were dreamin of getting out, and now i can't get my ass off the couch

Because of you.

(feat. Adele)

[Daniel]

Seven days has gone so fast
I really thought the pain would pass
It's been only an hour since I thought of you
cause you're not answering the phone
Id settle for a busy tone
at least by that I know,
that you're okay
A girl like you ain't meant to go away... ohh

[Chorus]
And now you're gone,
ain't nothing else I want
And now that it's over,
there's nothing else I want
What have I done,
looks I was wrong
is everything really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame
water and a flame

[Adele]
I'm tired of this empty house
I need a drink to get me out
a couple more till I forget your name
I saw a boy that looked like you
I didn't quite know what to do
I took a power of will to break my stare
I realized what I wanted wasn't there

[Chorus]
And now you're gone,
ain't nothing else I want
And now that it's over,
there's nothing else I want
What have I done,
looks like I was wrong
is everything really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame
water and a flame

[Middle]

Daniel: If you see me coming
Adele: I look away, I look away
Daniel: And if you're mind's made up
Adele: I look away, I will look away
Daniel: If you worry about..
Adele: I'm ok, I'm ok, yes I am
Daniel: All this sorrow and this pain is gonna go away!

[Chorus]
And now you're gone,
ain't nothing else I want
And now that it's over,
there's nothing else I want
What have I done,
looks I was wrong
is everything really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame
water and a flame

I'm gonna build a raft
And sit on the water there
Hoping she will come, see the thing I made
What a thing I made

Today I'm gonna sail
Even if she doesn't show
The ocean can decide
Love is like a wave, love will never fail

Hope she gets here soon,
I hope she isn't far away
But if she is ill sail anyway

Every day that I love her
I kill myself
It happens over and over
There's no-one else
And I try to forget her
But look at me
Giving everything away for free
And when I'm out at sea
I'm gonna write a song for her
Ill sing across the bay
Hoping she will hear, hoping she will hear

I think she's in her car
And just above the motorway
So hear my serenade beckoning her near, beckoning her near

And then she's gonna swim
I didn't build my raft in vain
But if I did well both drown anyway

Every day that I love her
I kill myself
It happens over and over
There's no-one else
And I try to forget her
But look at me
Giving everything away for free

Giving everything away for free, free
Drown me it'll stop when, coz I love in vain
Cos I knew, knew she'd never come
Cos she couldn't bear the ocean
She couldn't stand the waves

Every day that I love her
I kill myself
It happens over and over
There's no-one else
And I try to forget her
But look at me
Giving everything away for free

Went through three winters, three summers
Thinking that you're gonna return
My friends said it over and over
"Gotta stop holding on to her"
I went through fire and rain
Every moment I thought you called
There was nothing to gain
How did I get the blame for it all

Feels like I could never let you go
'Cause it just intensifies the pain
I wish there was a way to let you know
That being without you is not the same

So I'm not giving up on love
You know our history
Girl, we were meant to be
Why should I give you up, my love
It was you and me
Now I'm left with nothing

Do you remember the flowers I sent
They don't grow in September, you know
You said you didn't feel love
You know better girl, but that was the story you told
You said that you tried and you tried
You kept telling that lie to yourself
What you feel you can't hide
You won't find it in nobody else

Feels like I could never let you go
'Cause it just intensifies my pain
I wish there was a way to let you know
Being without you is not the same

So I'm not giving up on love
You know our history
Girl, we were meant to be
Why should I give you up, my love
It was you and me
Now I'm left with nothing

So I'm not giving up on love
You know our history
Girl, we were meant to be
Why should I give you up, my love
It was you and me
Now I'm left with nothing

Giving up on love
You know our history
Girl, we were meant to be
Why should I give you up, my love
It was you and me
Now I'm left with nothing

(Giving up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Giving up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Giving up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Giving up, up, up, up, up, up, up)

You live by night
And waste the day
You give yourself
You give yourself away

I know that when you started
You liked the way you felt
And yes I understand you
But to everybody else...

It's black and white
To you it's grey
You know I'll love you anyway

But it seems to me you're living on the run
But I hope you know you're not the only one

Who lives by night
Lives by night
They're only trying to chase away the sun

And when you play
The way you do
The sun don't shine
The same way for you

And you say you don't abuse it
But baby I can tell
We both know what the truth is
But to everybody else...

It's black and white
It's night and day
You know I'll love you anyway

But it seems to me you're living on the run
And now you know you're not the only one...

Who lives by night
Lives by night
We're only trying to chase away the sun

We, we were so intimate
You, you were so into it
But they, they pulled you in

And now that they're gone
We're only trying to work out what went wrong

You live by night
Live by night
But you're only trying to chase away the sun
