Delta Goodrem Album

Writers: Delta Goodrem / Guy Chambers

A new beginning
A new chapter of my life
Started the day
When I thought
It could be my last
My eyes were wide shut but I hadn't given up
Just thought I'd be walking the world alone
Out of the blue
There I met you
Showed me a life I can't see without you
And there's just no way
That I can fight these emotions
Your energy running through me
Nobody can renew me like you
Out of the blue
Can this be true!
Family and friends they were my life
I wasn't one for butterflies
But you gave me love that I can't disguise
And there will be times when we're apart
I want you to know you're in my heart
Growing into a beautiful garden
No emotions
My whole body felt like ice
Needed to feel that the sun would shine my way
My world had turned to dust
But I had my faith and trust

Prepare yourself to meet a girl who can not sleep
Dividing every question 'til the questions are complete
Every twisted tongue she studies everyone
she won't leave any stone unturned the night is oh so young

Oh oh she's traveling back in time
Questioning every line that someone said
Oh oh she's trying to understand

Free her mind she's always the analyst
Silent space the culprit the catalyst
Trying to make sense of her life
Digging around in the dirt she's a slave to the work
She's always the analyst

Can you be sure we haven't met see the eyes they don't forget
They wander through the passage-ways that tease a restless mind
Can't afford to slip the picture's gotta fit
Her world's a photograph that gets dissected bit by bit

Oh oh she's traveling back in time
Questioning every line that someone said
Oh oh she's trying to understand

Free her mind she's always the analyst
Silent space the culprit the catalyst
Trying to make sense of her life
Digging around in the dirt she's a slave to the work
She's always the analyst

Re-living the mistake she's made not a moment for the curious girl

Free her mind she's always the analyst
Silent space the culprit the catalyst
Trying to make sense of this life
Digging around breaking it down
Neurotic thoughts
Burning the ground
Every sight every sound
She's always the analyst

The girl in the chair with the long golden hair
Well that used to be me
A flirtatious smile unpredictably wild
Always trying to please
I was always walking one step ahead
Or so I thought until the monster crawled into my bed
Rewind and erase that shock look on your face
'cause your mona lisa is dead

A million words a thousand days

The girl I used to be
has a terrible case of mistaken identity
And yesterday's girl is not what you see
It's a terrible case of mistaken identity

The sun likes to rise and the moon likes to fall
And that's kinda like my life
I've played the role of the nice girl next door
Who gets cut like a knife
Now I'm not looking for apologie eyes
And I don't want to spend a night on a bed of beautiful lies
Erase and rewind leave that sick girl behind and fast forward, fast forward

A thousand days

The girl I used to be
has a terrible case of mistaken identity
And yesterday's girl is not what you see
it's a terrible case of mistaken identity

That's not me, it's just not me
That's not me

The girl I used to be
has a terrible case of mistaken identity
And yesterday's girl is not what you see
it's a terrible case of mistaken identity

Change, like secrets in the wind I hear the whispers madame butterfly
Spread your precious wings I watch you fly away

I know, I can't change fate of that July the 8th and it was never the same
I know, this stage is frightening but its oh so enlightening is this how karma
goes

Who would have thought when chance came calling that this would be my defining
story
and who could have guessed on my life's journey I could find my way through this
extraordinary day

Nothing is isolated

I know, I can't change fate of that July the 8th and it was never the same
I know, this stage is frightening but its oh so enlightening is this how karma
goes

Extraordinary day
This would be my defining story
And who could have guessed on my life's journey I could find my way through this
Extraordinary day

(They say) I'm a little to young to understand
But it's a little to late too hold my hand
You know I never subscribe to yes sir no sir
gonna learn gonna love gonna take my chance
It's a little too late for you to say
That I'm a little too young to feel this way

'cause I just wanna be loved just wanna be heard
Be lost in the feeling standing here
At the door to my life
Now that day has arrived so loud and clear
You'll hear me singing
Do do doo do do do do do do
I'm singing
Do do do do do do do do do

(They say) I'm a little too lost without you here
(They said) that I'm a little too soft and too sincere
'cause I never subscribe to who sir me sir
Gonna stand gonna fall gonna face my fears
It's a little too late for me to wait
'cause your're never to young to feel this way

'cause I just wanna be loved just wanna be heard
Be lost in the feeling standing
Here at the door to my life
Now that day has arrived so loud and clear
You'll hear me singing
Do do doo do do do do do do
I'm singing
Do do do do do do do do do

If I want your help I'll say help me
I'm okay I'm alright won't you hear me loud and clear

'cause I just wanna be loved just wanna be heard
Be lost in the feeling standing here
At the door to my life
Now that day has arrived so loud and clear
You'll hear me singing
Do do doo do do do do do do
I'm singing
Do do do do do do do do do

I'm a little too young to understand
But it's a little too late to hold my hand
I'm a little too lost without you here
That I'm a little too soft and too sincere

Are you swimming upstream in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like your sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it
You can make it
Sometime soon I know you'll see

'cause when your in you're darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong

Where taking each step one day at a time
You can't loose your spirit
Let live and let live forget and forgive
It's all how you see it
And just remember keep it together
Don't you know you're never alone

'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on, and be strong

No you're not defeated
And soon you'll be smiling once again
Then you won't have to feel it
Let it go with the wind
Time passes us by
And know that you're aloud to cry

'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong

Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are
crashing
And striking us down

Two people shipwrecked
Stranded alone
Praying for dry land to save our souls
Hurricane season just knocked us down
Emotional suicides running the ground

Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are
crashing
And striking us

I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in love's electric storm

Feels like our last chance to get out alive
Will we survive this treacherous night
Predators waiting circling around
Sky full of fireworks burn without sound

Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are
crashing
And striking us

I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in loves electric storm

Have we never been stronger?
Have we never been tighter?
But we're close to the wire again
Have we never been safer?

Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm of pleasure and pain where thunder and lightening are
crashing
And striking us down

I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home
Tell me how can we find our way home
In love's electric storm

With Brian McFadden
(Delta Goodrem, Brian McFadden, Guy Chambers)

Brian:
Did I hear you right?
Cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you

Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?

Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here

Brian:
I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me

Brian & Delta:
Bruise and battered by your words
Days are shattered, how it hurts
Brian:
Oh, haven't I always loved you?

Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here

Brian & Delta:
Bruise and battered by your words
Days are shattered, now it hurts
Brian:
Haven't I always loved you?

Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
Brian:
Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you
Delta:
And when I hold you
You're almost here
Brian:
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted

Brian & Delta:
And now I'm with you
I'm close to tears
Brian:
Cause I know I'm almost here

Brian & Delta:

Oohh you rubbed me up the wrong way
Oohh it was something that you didn't say
Gotta get it back gotta get it back gotta get it back
Or we might just regret it

We seem to have a knack for miscommunication
it stabbed us in the back this time
Is this the end of the line
'cause that'd be a crime

Now I sit under an angry cloud
what got hold of me
There's a voice that sounds too loud
it bangs on endlessly
wanna live in another world with no frustrations
and miscommunication

Oohh why'd we have to try hard
Oohh you got under my radar
Wanna be detached wanna be detached wanna be detached
So I can just forget it

We seem to have a knack for miscommunication
it stabbed us in the back this time
Is this the end of the line
'cause that'd be a crime

Now I sit under an angry cloud
what got hold of me
there's a voice that sounds too loud
it bangs on endlessly
wanna live in another world with no frustrations
and miscommunication

(When we are) Transatlantic
(he knows it) drives me frantic
(so I ask myself) what's the future
(why getta) new computer

Oohh it was something that you didn't say?

Just like the glorious northern star you guided me
Shining a light of pure tranquility
To a secret place where no-one else could go
Free to reveal the things I never show

Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality

Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run

I was deserted like the moon is at the dawn
I never thought I'd ever find a place so beautiful
All my heart was falling like a stone
Deep into an ocean vast and colourful

Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality

Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run

One step on the horizon
A safe place up on the mountain
So far away from chaotic life

It's the last night on earth
Before the great divide
My hands are shaking time was
Never on our side

There's no such thing
As a beautiful goodbye
As an ordinary day
I prayed for you a thousand times

It's never enough
No matter how many times
I try to tell you this is love

If tomorrow never comes
I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
And if tomorrow falls asleep
Can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like
It's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth

A penny for your thoughts
A picture so it'll last
That cycle down the roads of immortality
Your fingers on my skin
Only you can hear my fear
Only you can help me heal
I see forever with you here

It's never enough
No matter how many miles stand between us
This is love

If tomorrow never comes
I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
And if tomorrow falls asleep
Can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like
It's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth

It's never enough, no
It's never enough
It's never enough

The afterglow
And the bright sunlight
The shadows fall
Will you still be mine?
Will you still be mine?
Will you still be mine?
I ask

If tomorrow never comes
I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
(And if tomorrow falls asleep)
'Til the day I die
Can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like
It's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth
It's the last night on earth

Six thoughts at once I can't focus on one
Seven days a week but my life has just begun
So caught in emotion and I'm overcome
As I'm falling down I come undone

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel so frail so small
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile
A little fragile

In six thousand years what will this mean
Words from the heart or a melody
So caught in emotion and I'm overcome
As I'm falling down I come undone

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel nothing at all
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile
A little fragile

If people can see right through my eyes
like an open door that I can't disguise
I won't be afraid from the tears I cry
I'll not run I'll not hide this is how I feel inside
A little fragile
A little fragile

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel so frail so small
Sometimes I feel vulnerable

Looking for a different space
Searching for my inner place
Out of patience out of balance out of time
Out of breath out of focus these shapes in my mind

Who is this face I see
Why is this happening to me
Out of patience out of balance out of time
Out of breath out of focus these shapes in my mind

Things are changing
So much arranging of my life
I must take hold
I'll keep on spinning until I find myself again

So I woke up and there's the moon
Seems to have risen just a little soon
But who's calling out my name anyway?

I'm disorientated
I'm trying not to be jaded
When it's all so complicated
'cause I'm a little disorientated

Walking in a different space
Looking back just incase
Out of patience out of balance out of time
Out of breath out of focus these shapes in my mind

Love is forever
hate was in the never
Out of patience out of balance out of time
Out of breath out of focus these shapes in my mind

Things are changing
so much arranging of my life
I must take hold
I'll keep on spinning until I find myself again

So I woke up and there's the clock
it was ticking backwards had I forgot
But what day is it anyway

I'm disorientated
I'm trying not to be jaded
When it's all so complicated
'Cause I'm a little disorientated

Things are changing
so much arranging of my life
I must take hold
I'll keep on spinning until I find myself again

So I woke up and saw the sun
Seems like my life has just begun

(Delta Goodrem)

No one can buy true love in their life
We all need someone on standby
The night drew long you kept me strong
Now I can thank you in this song

You are my rock, you touch my soul
You brought me light, when all hope was gone
You showed me the secrets, that I could unlock
You are my brother, you are my rock

I've seen people come and go young and old from all walks of life
They all leave a bookmark in the story that I write
Only when your luck's run out you find out who really counts

You are my rock, you touch my soul
You brought me light, when I couldn't go on
You showed me the secrets, that I could unlock
You are my brother, you are my rock

No one can buy new love in their life

[hidden track]

I am in one of those dreams
Where you just just keep on falling
No one hears you calling

All that you saw was my smile
But its been dark for a while
And the days have gone cold
No more sleep for my soul
Or thats what ive been told

Did you think that things would be ok?
That my life could keep going on this way?

When i cried, when i shouted and i screamed and i yelled
And i was mad and i was angry
How come no one could tell?
Say why didnt you listen to me?
Was it really that hard to see?
Nobody listened

One day the creature asleep
I had a secret to keep
And now the whole world knows

And if i did now go
And i know be on show
Unprotected did you know
From it all came the blow

Did you think that things would be ok?
That my life could keep going on this way?

When i cried, when i shouted and i screamed and i yelled
And i was mad and i was angry
How come noone could tell?
Say why didnt you listen to me?
Was it really that hard to see?
Nobody listened
Nobody listened

Invader took the breath from me
Healer, the angel did i see

All that you saw was my smile
But its been dark for a while
And the days have gone cold

When i cried, when i shouted and i screamed and i yelled
And i was mad and i was angry
How come noone could tell?
Say why didnt you listen to me?
Was it really that hard to see?
Nobody listened
Nobody listened

And then i cried and i shouted and i screamed and i yelled
And i was mad and i was angry
How come noone could tell
Say why didnt you listen to me?
Was it really that hard to see?
Nobody listened
Nobody listened

Invader took the breath from me
Healer, the angel did i see

Invader took my breath away
Healer, the angel did i see

Its not too far to go now
Like a train off the rails here
Cuz nobody listened
Nobody listened (nobody listened)

But they're listening now...
