The Script Album

Oh I've been kicked right down
I've been spat in the face
I've been pulled way down to the lowest place
I've been lied to, shamed
I have been disgraced
Been excommunicated from every holy place
I've been beat up, robbed
I've been left for dead for the way I look
For the things I said
When trouble thinks it's found us
The world falls down around us

I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing
Cos I will take it on the chin eh for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing eh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you

I've been put on the street
I've been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up
Had them shot full of holes
I've been laughed at, hurt
Been the butt of the joke
I've been lit up in flames
I have gone down in smoke
I've been stabbed in the back
While being promised the earth
Trying to keep my head high
For all I'm worth
Outside our double glazing
I know a war is raging

I promise baby you won't ever
You won't ever feel a thing
Cos I will take it on the chin eh for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing oh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you, yeah

Oh and if I ever feel a thing
And I fall here
At least you know my dear that I would die for you

Promise you won't ever feel a thing
Cos I will take it on the chin eh for you
So lay your cuts and bruises over my skin
I promise you won't feel a thing oh
Cos everything the world could throw
I'll stand in front
I'll take the blow for you, for you, yeah

Everything the world could throw
I'll take the sticks
I'll take the stones for you, for you, eh, eh

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how
How we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration
Tryna make it work but man these times are hard

She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I got a new job now in the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess is it God's test?
Someone help us cause we're doing our best
Tryna make it work but man these times are hard


But we're gunna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
Smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now, got the feeling, that we're meeting
For the first time

She's in line at the door with her head held high
While I just lost my job, but didn't lose my pride
And we both know how
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
Tryna make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gunna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Doing things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
Smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now, got the feeling, that we're meeting
For the first time

But we're gunna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now, got the feeling, that we're meeting
For the first time
Yeah for the first time
Oh for the first time
Yeah for the first time
(We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time)

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on my baby

Am I better off dead
Am I better off a quitter
They say I'm better off now
Than i ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet

They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'm never
Only they can see where this is gonna end
But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if i go there now
I can change your mind turn it all around

i know that im drunk but ill say the words,
and she'll listen this time even though they're slurred,
dialed her number and confessed to her,
im still in love but all i heard was nothing

So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know I'm with her face to face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk.... leads me to her door
If she sees how much i'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure

[Chorus]

She said nothing
Oh i wanted words but all i heard was nothing
Oh i got nothing, I got nothing
Oh i wanted words but all i heard was nothing
Oh sometimes love's intoxicating
Oh you're coming down your hands are shaking
When you realise there's no one waiting

Am i better off dead
Am i better off a quitter
They say i'm better off now than i ever was with her

[Chorus]

She said nothing
Oh i wanted words but all i heard was nothing
Oh i got nothing, I got nothing
Oh i wanted words but all i heard was nothing
Oh i got nothing.. x3

tried to break her to a science
in an act of good defiance
i broke her heart.
There's a pull up on her theories
there's a watch her growing weary
i broke her heart.
having heavy conversations
about the frivilous constellations of our souls. oh
we're just trying to find some meaning
in the things that we believe in
but we got some ways to go.
of all of the things that she's ever said
she goes and says something that just knocks me dead.

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
you can break everything, got the chemicals?
but you can't explain a love like ours.

ooohhhh
its the way we feel, yeh this is real.
ooohhhh
its the way we feel, yeh this is real.

i tried pushing evolution
as the obvious conclusion of the start.
but it was all my own amusement
saying love was an illusion of a hopeless heart.
of all of the things that she's ever said
she goes and says something that knocks me dead.

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
you can break everything down to chemicals
but you can't explain a love like ours.

ooohhhh
it's the way we feel, yeh this is real.
ooohhhh
it's the way we feel, yeh this is real.

of all of the things that she's ever said
she goes and says something that just knocks me dead

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
you can break everything down to chemicals
but you can't explain a love like ours.

ooohhhh
its the way we feel, yeh this is real
ooohhhh
its the way we feel, yeh this is real

If your standing with your suitcase
But you cant step on the train
Everythings the way that you left it i still havent slept yet

And if your covering your face now
But you just cant hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without yah

If the truth is your a liar
Then just say that your okay
Im sleepin on your side of the bed goin out of my head now

And if your out there tryina move on
But somethin pulls you back again
Im sitting here tryina persuade you like your in the same room

And i wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And i wish you could still give me a hard time
And i wish i could still wish it was over
but even if wishing is a waste of time
even if i never cross your mind

Ill leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back if you ever come back
Theyll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
Theyll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
Theyll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
if you ever come back if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

Now they say im wasting my time
Cuz your never commin home
But they used to say the world was flat but how wrong was tht now

And by leavin my door open
Im milkin everythin i own
Somethin i can lose in the breakin that you havent taken

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you can still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind

Ill leave the door on the latch
If youu ever come back if you ever come back
Theyll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
Theyll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
Theyll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

If its the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
I know your out there somewhere so just remember this
If its the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
Oh just remember this oh just remmeber this

Ill leave the door on the latch
If youu ever come back if you ever come back
Theyll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
Theyll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
Theyll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
If you ever come back if you ever come back now

When's the day you start again
And when the hell does you'll get over it begin
I'm looking hard in the mirror
But I don't fit my skin
It's too much to take
It's too hard to break me
From the cell I'm in

Oh from this moment on
I'm changing the way I feel yeah
From this moment on
It's time to get a real

Cause I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
Cause you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on

So how'd you pick the pieces up yeah
I'm barely used to saying me instead of us
The elephant in the room keeps scaring off the guests
It gets under my skin to see you with him
And its not me that you're with

Oh from this moment on
I'm changing the way I feel yeah
From this moment on
It's time to get a real

Cause I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
Cause you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on

No I can't keep thinking that you're coming back
No
Cause I got no business knowing where you're at
No
And its gonna be hard yeah
Cause I have to wanna heal yeah
And its gonna be hard yeah
The way I feel that I have to get real

I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on

But you're long gone, you moved on

It's in the eyes of the children
As they leave for the very first time
And it's in the heart of the soldier
As he takes a bullet on the frontline
It's in the face of a mother
As she takes the force of a blow
And its in the hands of the father yeah
As he works his fingers to the bone

I'm standing under a white flag oh
Can you see me oh
Can you see me oh
I'm standing for everything we have oh
Can you hear me oh
Can you hear me oh

This is why we do it
This is worth the pain
This is why we bow down
And get back up again
This is where the heart lies
This is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it
Love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down
And get back up again
Love is where the heart lies
Love is from above
Love is this, this is love

This is love
This is love
This is love

It's in the soul of a city
What it does after it crumbles and burns
And it's in the blood of a hero
To know where he goes he may never return

I'm standing under a white flag oh
Can you see me oh
Can you see me oh
I'm standing for everything we have oh
Can you hear me oh
Can you hear me oh

This is why we do it
This is worth the pain
This is why we bow down
And get back up again
This is where the heart lies
This is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it
Love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down
And get back up again
Love is where the heart lies
Love is from above
Love is this, this is love

This is love, this is love
This is love, this is love
This is love, this is love

If you could be anywhere that you wanted to be
With anyone that you wanted to be with
Do anything that you wanted to do
What would it be and who would it be with you
Time flies but you're the pilot
It moves real fast but you're the driver
You may crash and burn sometimes

This is why we do it
This is worth the pain
This is where we bow down
And get back up again
This is where the heart lies
This is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it
Love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down
And get back up again
Love is where the heart lies
Love is from above
Love is this, this is love

I don’t know why she’s with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her by now I would have left me
I would have walked away by now
Broken away somehow
Instead she forgave me
She said a woman’s gotta do what she gotta do
Even if it means she’s denying herself the truth
Cos when you’re in too deep
You wake up when it’s too late
You’ve fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don’t go now then you’ll stay
Cos I’ll never let you leave
Never let you breathe
Cos if you’re looking for heaven baby
It sure as hell ain’t me

So walk away, walk away, walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache
Go now before it’s too late, too late
So walk away, walk away, walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache
So now before it’s too late

But still she stays
She’s standing in the heart of darkness
Saying I know you’ve got a soul
Even though you’re heartless
How could any woman in her right mind
Be so blind to find something to save
Instead of walking with me
She shoulda walked away
She finds colour in the darkest places, oh
She finds beauty in the saddest of faces, oh
For such a clued in head
Strong city girl could have had the world
But she’s fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don’t go now then you stay
Cos I’ll never let you leave
Never let you breathe
Cos if you’re looking for heaven baby
It sure as hell ain’t me
So walk away, walk away, walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache
Go now before it’s too late, too late
So walk away, walk away, walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache
Go now before it’s too late, too late

But still she stays
I don’t know why she’s with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her by now I would have left me
I would have walked away
But you’ve fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don’t go now then you stay
Cos I’ll never let you leave
Never let you breathe
Cos if you’re looking for heaven baby
It sure as hell ain’t me

So walk away, walk away, walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache
Go now before it’s too late, too late
So walk away, walk away, walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache
Go now before it’s too late

But still she stays
But still she stays
I’m saying walk away, yeah
I’m saying walk away
Save yourself from the heartache
Go now before it’s too late, too late
But still she stays
But still she stays, yeah
She stays, she stays

My hands are cold
My body's numb
I'm still in shock
What have you done
My head is pounding
My vision's blur
Your mouth is moving
I don't hear a word

And it hurts so bad
That I search my skin
For the entry point
Where love went in
And ricocheted
And bounced around
And left a hole when you walked out

I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wooooounds, where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wounds

Marks a battle
Still feel raw
A million pieces of me
On the floor
I'm damaged goods
For all to see
Now who would ever want to be with me

I've got all the baggage
Drink the pills
Yeah this is living but without the will
Blacken out
I'm shutting down
You've left a hole
You walked out

I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love this, heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wooooounds, where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wooooounds
Where their leaving, the scars you're keeping

Loose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are
Loose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are
Loose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are
Loose your clothes and show your scars
That's who you are

Marks a battle
Still feel raw
A million pieces of me
On the floor

I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit wounds
I don't know how much more love this, heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds
Wooooounds, where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
Exit wooooounds
Where their leaving, the scars you're keeping
