James Morrison Album

When I was young and I was a victim of a killing smile
Love was cheap and it was great for a little while
I had to leave but she wanted me to stay
Now and she ripped of my shirt and left her marks of her distain

I just can't take it no more
I can't spend another night alone
I can't take it no more

If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you

I keep you warm and you hold me tight
This might be our only night
Be our only night
Oh I can't give up
No no, no no

I tried to reconcile but it never made a difference
If you could cut the atmosphere with a knife, it was so tense and cold
And everytime I tried to get a little closer to you
You got further and further away from me until you faded into the distance

Yes you did
There's nothing I could do

If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you

I keep you warm and you hold me tight
Cause this might be our only night
This might be our only night
I can't spend another night alone

If this is where I ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have was gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you

If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you

Keep me warm and I'll hold you tight
Cause this might be our only night

Oh yeah, be our only night
Let me hold you like I want to
We might never get a chance again
Oh I can't give up

I'm trying to change
To make the best for us
But I'm just the same
Same as I ever was

Oh and if you stay with me
Honestly it's what I want
But if you stay with me
I know I had too much

So won't you save, save yourself
By leaving me now for someone else
If I'm crying out, don't listen to it
It's all in my heart
Save yourself, its all in my heart

So tell me I'm wrong
Please won't you change my mind
This love's so intense
Sometimes it can leave you blind

Oh and if you stay with me
Honestly it's what I want
But if you stay with me
I know I had too much

So won't you save, save yourself
By leaving me now for someone else
If I'm crying out, don't listen to it
It's all in my heart (save yourself)
Yeah its all in my heart (save yourself)

And I don't wanna let you go
But I know that it's the right thing to do baby
And I don't think I'm that strong to say goodbye
I don't wanna see you cry

So won't you save, save yourself
By leaving me now for someone else
If I'm crying out, don't listen to it
It's all in my heart (save yourself)
It's all in my heart (save yourself)
Yeah it's all in my heart
Yeah it's all in my heart

Only, only in my heart

Mmmm
there's so much craziness surrounding me
there's so much going on it gets hard to breathe
all my faith has gone you bring it back to me
you make it real for me
well im not sure of my priorities
ive lost site of where im ment to be
and like holy water washing over me

you make it real for me
and IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby
youuu are the only one who save me
that's whyyy ive been missing you lately
cause you make it real for me

when my head is strong but my heart is weak
im full of hurricanes and uncertainty
but I can find the words
you teach my heart to speak

you make it real for meee yeaaa
and iiiiiiiiii'm running to you baby
you are the only one who save me
that's whyyy ive been missing you lately
cause you make it real for me

everybodies talking in words
I don't understand
you got to be the only one
who knows just who I am
and you shine in the distance
I hope I can make it through
cause the only place
that I want to be
is right back home with you

I guess theres so much more
I have to learn
But if you're here with me
I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere,
somewhere I can learn

You make it real for me
And iiiii'm running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who save me
That's why ive been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me
you make it real for me

I don't know where I crossed the line
Was it something that I said
Or didn't say this time?

And I don't know if it's me or you
I can see the skies are changing
No longer shades of blue
I don't know which way it's gonna go

And if it's going to be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
You're feeling like you've got no place to run
I can be your shelter til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Please don't stop the rain

I thought that time was on our side
I've put in far too many years
To let this pass us by
You see life is crazy thing
There'll be good times
And there'll be bad times
And everything in between
And I don't know which ways it's gonna go

And if it's going to be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
You're feeling like you've got no place to run
I can be your shelter til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Please don't stop the rain

Oh we're a little closer now
In finding what life's all about
Yeah I know you just can't stand it
When things don't go your way
But we've got no control over what happens anyway

And if it's going to be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you've got no place to run
I can be your shelter til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall

Please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Can't stop it, you can't stop it
Let it fall
Please don't stop the rain

(Feat. Nelly Furtado)

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking
It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh and I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last change to feel again

1, 2, 3, 4
ooh ohh ohh

If loving you is easy,
playing by the rules,
but you said love taste so much better when its cruel
to you everything was just a game,

But i want you, i want you, i want you,
So much more than i should,
Yes i do.

I've got my hands up so take your aim,
Yeah i'm ready,
There's nothing that we can't go through,
Oh it hit me like a steal freight train,
When you left me,
And nothing ever hurt like you,
Nothing ever hurt like you.

I was naive and wide eyed,
but you made me see,
that you dont get to taste the honey,
without the sting of a bee,
no you dont.

yes you stung me good,
oh yeah you dug in deep,
but ill take, ill take it, ill take it
Till im down on my knees.

I've got my hands up so take your aim,
Yeah i'm ready,
There's nothing that we can't go through,
Walk a thousend miles on broken glass,
It wont stop me,
from making my way back to you,
Its not real till you feel the pain,
And nothing ever hurt like you,
Nothing ever hurt like you.

Oh everything was just a game,
yeah you played me good,
But i want you, i want you, i want you,
i want you, i want you.

I've got my hands up so take your aim,
Yeah i'm ready,
There's nothing that we can't go through,
Walk a thousend miles on broken glass,
It wont stop me,
from making my way back to you,
Its not real till you feel the pain,
And nothing ever hurt like you,
Nothing ever hurt like you.

I was the one,
who would always
jump in first
Didn't think twice
to look behind
Got such a good feeling,
just from playing
in the dirt
Once,
when I was little

We could build a rocket,
fly to the moon
Leave Tuesday morning,
and be back for noon
There wasn't nothing,
nothing that we couldn't do
Once, when I was little umm
Once, when I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I believed more then
That the world
could only get better
Yeah I was free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could
only show me good times
Once, when I was little
umm ohh lalala

There was a time
when I trusted everyone
Yes I did
There was no place
that I would not go oh no
Spend a day on the hillside
next to the holly mo
Oh once, when I was little
Yea once, when I, I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I believe more then
That this world
could only get better
Yeah I was free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could
only show me good times
Once, when I was little

Used to feel so strong
Even when they tell me,
tell me I was wrong
That I can't live
in a magic world
Cause it's time
for me to grow up
That I got to be
like the rest of them
When I know
there acting up ohh

I could believe more
then yes I could
I could pretend more then
That this life could
only get better
I could believe more
then yes I could
I could pretend more then

That this world could
only show me good times
Once, when I was little
When I was little

So here comes the next one,
the next in line
Stay as young you can,
for the longest time
Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze
just passing through
Once, when I was little

I was so lost, didn't know what to do with myself,
I was my own worst enemy, I was lost and oh I needed help,
Then you came along, and saw what state I was in,
You picked me up, when I was down,
Showed me how to live again.

I say thankyou, for pulling me through,
I'm a lucky man,
I was strong, and its took me so long
For me to understand,

But its precious love, oh its precious love
No I can't let it go,
This is precious love, and its teaching me,
Everything I need to know,

This precious love, this precious love,
I can't get enough,
I'm down on my knees, begging you please
To give me some more of that stuff.

Love, love, love, love, love ; precious love
Its love, love, love, love, love ; precious love

I got so distracted, by people all around,
Whispering sweet nothings, filling my head with doubts

When you lower me down,
So deep that I
I can't get out
And when you're lost, lost and alone,
Yes you'd think it was the last place,
You'd come back for more
If you don't want me to leave,
Then don't push me away,
Rather blow out the lights you can watch it all fade
But I'm going nowhere

I'm gonna stay
When you just wanna fight
When you're closing you're eyes
'Coz you don't wanna love me
I'm gonna stay
You can't push me too far
Theres no space in my heart
Where I don't wanna love you

And when theres no,no storm,
and how can I, feel the calm,
If theres nothin', nothin', nothin left to lose,
Then what is this feelin that keeps on bringin me back to you,

So i'm gonna stay,
when you just wanna fight and ur closin' your eyes 'coz you dont wanna love me,
said i'm gonna stay oh yes i will,
you cant push me too far theres no place in my heart,
where i dont wanna love you.

I can tell you now
When I'm here to listen
To what I've got to say
All my words unplanned
Just like us they are waiting
To come together
I don't know if we're ready to take our train

Oh I, oh I, I'm gonna fix this world up for you
I'll try, I'll try to build it all around you
You'll never gonna have to be alone
You'll always know you got someone
To fix the world up for you

Well I've been out getting wrong
More times that I get it right
That I won't even realize it
But I've been doing all I can
To stop your falling
Even now I'm holding my breath for you

But you don't know, you don't know
That I'm ready to hold you now, hold you now

Oh I, oh I, I'm gonna fix this world up for you
I'll try, I'll try to build it all around you
You'll never gonna have to be alone
Yeah You'll always know you got someone
To fix the world up for you

yeah when the the world comes crashing down
i'll be there, yes you know
Gonna fix the world up, up for you
Gonna fix the world up, up for you
Gonna fix the world up, up for you
(i'll do, i'll do, i will wanna do)

Some people sleep easy
Some people don't
See keep the light on
Stops your feeling so alone

Some people make it better
Some make it worse
If all held you lightly
Yeah it got you where it hurts
You're not the one
You're not the one to pay

Dream on Hayley
Don't look down
There's nothing here for you to see
Dream on Hayley
You're just about there
Don't give up so easily
Dream on Hayley
If you don't feel love
Then dreaming is the way to go
I know, I know, I know

Some people trust too much
Sometimes that's you
Shouldn't be a bad thing
It's more than I could do

So much disappointment
Over the years
Willing to love completely
But always ends in tears
I'm not mad
Not so mad to me

Dream on Hayley
Don't look down
There's nothing here for you to see
Dream on Hayley
You're just about there
Don't give up so easily
Dream on Hayley
If you don't feel love
Then dreaming is the way to go

Dream on, dream on
I can help you
You gotta keep dreaming on

Dream on Hayley
Dream on Hayley

Dream on Hayley
Don't look down
There's nothing here for you to see
Dream on Hayley
You're just about there
Don't give up so easily
Dream on Hayley
If you don't feel love
Then dreaming is the way to go

I see lovers in the streets
Walking without a care
They wear it out loud
Like there's something in the air
Oh well, I don't care

They're treading lightly
No, they don't sink in
There's no tracks to follow
They don't care where they're going
And if they're lucky, yeah they'll
They'll get to see
And if they're really, really lucky
They'll get to feel

And it kicks so hard
It breaks your bones
Cuts so deep
It hits your soul
Tears your skin
And makes your blood flow
It's better that you know
That love is hard

Love takes hostages
And gives them pain
Gives someone the power
To hurt you again and again
Oh, but they don't care

And if they're lucky, yeah they'll
They'll get to see
And if they're really, really lucky
Then they'll get to feel
And if they're, they're truly blessed
Then they'll get to believe
And if you're damned
You'll never let yourself be deceived

And it kicks so hard
It breaks your bones
Cuts so deep
It hits your soul
Tears your skin
And makes your blood flow
It's better that you know
That love is hard

It kicks so hard
It breaks your bones
Cuts so deep
It hits your soul
Tears your skin
And makes your blood flow
It's better that you know

It kicks so hard
It breaks your bones
It cuts so deep
It hits your soul
Tears your skin
And makes your blood flow
It's better that you know
That love is hard
Love is hard
Love is hard

If it was easy, it wouldn't mean nothing, no
