Walk Away

Burnt all my pictures on a cloudy day
To hide the smoke that rose then blew away
I never thought that I would see the day
Went through my stuff only to lose my mind
I’ve thought of you since then a million times
I never thought that I would see the day
It’s okay if you stay - but if you walk
- then you walk away
When you choose to walk - you can fall down
That’s the risk you take
But not today – No, not today
Today will be the day – today
I feel no guilt or pain I just walk away
Now that I’m far from where I used to be
I see the footsteps where you walked with me
Watch me walk away

Watch me walk away
Today will be the day – today
I feel no guilt or pain I just walk away
I never thought that I would see the day

From where I stand it’s another cloudy day
If there’s something I can guarantee
no matter what you burn
the smoke will rise and blow away
I’m watching the flames lap
and I’m feeling nothing but warmth on my hands
Never thought I’d get to this place
Never thought I’d see the day
I’m silent and I’m standing so still
but also walking away
The guilt is gone and your memory lives on
Never thought I’d see the day I’d be so strong
Now watch me walk away
Never thought I’d see the day
Never thought I’d walk away
The guilt is gone and your memory lives on

The sum of all these days is like a drop into the ocean
Like anything that’s made, a promise can be broken
You came and took your place and no-one is above you
Anything I said I meant to say
Gone too soon, before I knew
Turn the clock back but it’s much too late for that, I miss you
Gone too soon, can’t have back,
Any moment that I’ve wasted in the past
You’ve gone too soon
The beauty on display was quietly outspoken
The minutes turned to days when I realised I was broken
The love I feel today, no song can contain it
Anything I say I mean to say
Gone too soon, before I knew
Turn the clock back but it’s much too late for that, I miss you
Gone too soon, can’t have back,
Any moment that I’ve wasted in the past
You’ve gone too soon
When I realised it was over and I could not run to you
It was the day I saw myself for what I am
It was the day I saw the truth of what you’ve been
But you were gone
Gone too soon, before I knew
Turn the clock back but it’s much too late for that, I miss you
Gone too soon, can’t have back,
Any moment that I’ve wasted in the past
You’ve gone too soon

You Should Be Mine

I should have seen it from the start
To love is to lose then fall apart
There is a place for you in my heart
You should be mine
And I should be yours til the end of time
You should be mine
And I should be yours til the end of time
Life’s not fair but the way it is
I should have told you everything
I’ve learnt that time’s the enemy
It feels like the end of the world has begun
You should be mine
I should have told you everything
I should have seen it from the start
I learnt that time’s the enemy

You should be mine
And I should be yours til the end of time
You should be mine
And I should be yours til the end of time

Fool

I’m so taken, not just by your words
But everything you seem to be
I’ll take my chances – As soon as you are gone
I will have no place to be
Until I can find the power, to fight what I’m feeling
I know there’s no way out
I will be your fool, I will be that fool
I will be your fool, I will be that fool
Inside of me’s a heart that beats for you
Inside of me’s a heart that beats for you
I’m mistaken; I thought I had the words
To tell you what you mean to me
I took my chances, and now that you are gone
Look at the place it’s left me
Until I can find the power, to fight what I’m feeling
I know there’s no way out
I will be your fool, I will be that fool
I will be your fool, I will be that fool
Inside of me’s a heart that beats for you
Inside of me’s a heart that beats for you
Do you understand you’re something
My words cannot describe
If you only knew you’re someone
You would have the answers, you would understand why
Until I can find the power, to fight what I’m feeling
I know there’s no way out
I will be your fool, I will be that fool
I will be your fool, I will be that fool
Inside of me’s a heart that beats for you
Inside of me’s a heart that beats for you
I’m so taken, not just by your words
But everything you seem to be

Looking back the love we had was something I needed
Erosion happened over time and we were defeated
Now you know what I know
And I will never forget what you gave to me and
I still hold you as my dearest friend
I never meant it to hurt like it must have hurt you
The compound of conscience
has split to form fact and regret
I can’t start to count the tears that fell as I waited
Any love I have for you is worn and out-dated
Now you know what I know
I’m sorry for what I did to you
I’m sorry for what I put you through
Now you know what I know
And I will never forget
I still hold you as my dearest friend
I never meant it to hurt
The compound of conscience
has split to form fact and regret
