Battlefield lyrics

Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening
One minute it's love and suddenly
It's like a battle-field
One word turns into a
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you don't
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now

Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
[repeat]
Why does love always feel like

Can't swallow our pride,
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender
then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no

Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
(nothing)
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
[repeat]

I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends tonight
And in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright
Cause baby we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like

A battlefield (oh), a battlefield (oh), a battlefield,
Why does love always feel like a battlefield (oh),
A battlefield (oh), a battlefield

I guess you better go and get your armor
I never meant to start a war (start a war)
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(fighting, fighting for)

Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
[repeat]

I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)

[slowly fade]
Why does love always feel like
(whooaa ooow)
Why does love always feel like
(whooaa ooow)
A battlefield, a battlefield..

[(whooaa ooow) throughout to end]
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(whooaa ooow)
[fade out]

Don't Let It Go To Your Head lyrics

So what if I came clean, and told you all you mean to me, so what if I meant every word I said,
baby don't let it go to your head
So what if I write your name, cause you're always on my brain, in a heart I paint in crimson red,
baby dont let it go to your head
Dont be getting any big ideas, let me make it clear

Just cause I cant go on, just cause I die when ur gone, and just cause I think of you in bed,
dont let it go to your head, if I dim your eyes, one too, too many times, analyse every word you said,
dont let it go to your head, oh oh, don't let it go to your head, oh oh

So what if I want to kiss, from your toes up to your lips, it don't mean that you have me yet,
youre gonna be good out of bed, I'm the one who's in control here, let me make it clear

Just cause I cant go on, just cause I die when ur gone, just cause I think of you in bed,
dont let it go to your head, if I dim your eyes, one too, too many times, analyse,
every word you said, dont let it go to your head, dont let it go to your head, oh oh

Now you think you got me
Well im gonna get you
Now you think you can touch me
Well im gonna let you

Just cause I cant go on, just cause I die when ur gone, just cause I think of you in bed, dont let it go to ur head
Just cause I cant go on
Just cause I die when ur gone
Just cause I think of you in bed, dont let it go to your head, if I dim your eyes, one too,
too many times, analyse every word you said, dont let it go to your head, dont let it go to your head,
dont let it go your head, dont let it go to your head, dont let it go to your head...

Emergency (911) lyrics

You know my ringtone (why don't you answer the phone)
If you don't get here (I'm dancing alone)
Get in the fast lane 'cause someone will ask me
If you don't
I hear the music (I'm ready to go)
You better get here ('cause I'm dancing alone)
You better get driving and turn on the siren
Cause you're in the danger zone

You know it's friday
Why don't you call me
You got my number
Hey I'm still waiting
Why don't you call me
Aren't you my boyfriend?
You were supposed to be here
Like an hour ago

I bought this dress for you
I got my legs so smooth
I got my manny paddy went and hot my hair done too
All dressed up and nowhere to go-oh

It's an emergency
I need you here with me
It's a 911 (911)
It's an emergency
Can't you see?
It's a 911 (911)
Dying of dance deprivation
Emotional starvation, I need resuscitation
Gettin' impatient
It's an emergency (emergency)
911 (911)

You know I told you
You can't be late now
Watching my watch tick
There goes my attitude, I'm almost over you
You were supposed to be here like an hour ago
That's what you always do, give me some lame excuse
Like you were workin', sleepin', come on baby try the truth
All dressed up and nowhere to go-oh

It's an emergency
I need you here with me
It's a 911 (911)
It's an emergency
Can't you see?
It's a 911 (911)
Dying of dance deprivation
Emotional starvation, I need resuscitation
Gettin' impatient
It's an emergency (emergency)
911 (911)

You know my ringtone (why don't you answer the phone)
If you don't get here (I'm dancing alone)
Get in the fast lane 'cause someone will ask me
If you don't
I hear the music (I'm ready to go)
You better get here ('cause I'm dancing alone)
You better get driving and turn on the siren
Cause you're in the danger zone

It's an emergency
I need you here with me
It's a 911 (911)
It's an emergency
Can't you see?
It's a 911 (911)
Dying of dance deprivation
Emotional starvation, I need resuscitation
Gettin' impatient
It's an emergency (emergency)
911 (911)

Faith lyrics

Hey there sad eyes
What's on your mind
Don't look so down
Give it sometime
You don't have to be
So hard on yourself
I know the world can be a brutal place
Please don't let it steal your smile away

[chorus]
Cause when the sky's the darkest
You can see the stars
And when you fall the hardest
You find how strong you are
Close your eyes
Rest awhile
Its been a long long day
So come on baby baby
Have a little faith

Let those tears fall
You gave it your all
It's all you can do
I'll be here for you
And there goes your pride
Cruhed on the ground
Sometimes it takes a wall to tumble down
For you to see who's gonna stick around

[chorus]
Cause when the sky's the darkest
You can see the stars
And when you fall the hardest
You find how strong you are
Close your eyes
Rest awhile
Its been a long long day
So come on baby baby
Have a little faith

Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better (yeah)
And it takes so much to be brave
Sometimes it feels it'll forever
But when all the lights begin to fade

[chorus]
And when the sky's the darkest
You can see the stars
And when you fall the hardest
You find how strong you are
Close your eyes
Rest awhile
Its been a long long day
So come on baby baby
Come on baby baby
And have a little faith
Have a little faith
Oohh oh oohh
Have a little faith
Have a little faith

It Takes More lyrics

Tell me what happened this time
Made you come back again
I find out only see you when luck deserts you
If this is your idea of happiness
Then let's be clear
Those words of yours ain't working anymore

Cause I'm always giving
Here waiting while you're living
I need a new beginning
Oh, I'm not the girl I used to be with you

You think maybe that I'm just so easy
You can come in and out my life like you please
But baby no (uh-oh)
Don't you know it takes more
To keep a girl like me
No more waiting for you to change
Don't you know that you bringing flowers
Won't stop the rain baby no, no (uh-oh)
Don't you know it takes more
You're the only one not worth waiting for

I know you're busy so if you gotta go
Then go but don't forget to leave my heart
I stayed around for you but
You're no where to be found now
Once again here you are

Cause I'm always giving
Here waiting while you're living
I need a new beginning
Oh, I'm not the girl I used to be with you

You think maybe that I'm just so easy
You can come in and out my life like you please
But baby no (uh-oh)
Don't you know it takes more
To keep a girl like me
No more waiting for you to change
Don't you know that you bringing flowers
Won't stop the rain baby no-no (uh-oh)
Don't you know it takes more
You're the only one not worth waiting for

I've settled for less
When I stayed with you but no more
Cause you aint worth waiting for, ooh, uuuuh

You think maybe that I'm just so easy
You can come in and out my life like you please
But baby no (uh-oh)
Don't you know it takes more
(Don't you know it takes much more)
To keep a girl like me
No more waiting for you to change
(Waiting for you, no, no, no, no)
Don't you know that you bringing flowers
Won't stop the rain baby no-no (uh-oh)
Don't you know it takes more
You're the only one not worth waiting for

(uh-oh) Don't you know it takes more
(uh-oh) Don't you know it takes much more
(uh-oh) Don't you know it takes much more
You're the only one not worth waiting for

You think maybe that I'm just so easy
You can come in and out my life like you please
But baby no
Don't you know it takes much more
No-no, no more waiting for you to change
Don't you know that you bringing flowers
Won't stop the rain, no, oh
Don't you know it takes much more, oh

Let It Rain lyrics

Shout it out
I can't hold back no more
I let it out
All these feelings that were
Trapped inside
I was frozen evertime
I looked in your eyes
Clear my head
From all the cluttered things
I should've said
That wasn't me
No i can't live like that
I'm waking up and there is no
Looking back

[Chorus]
Every little tear
I was scared to cry
Everyting i feared
But i kept inside
I don't wanna hold
It back one more day
Oh wash it away
Every tiny thought clouding
Up my head
Every single word that
I never said
I refuse to feel ashamed
Let it rain
Let it rain

Clear the sky
I start to breathe again
No-thing to hide
Let you through to who
I am inside
Every layer
'til you get underneath my skin
Let you in, let you in

[Chorus]
Every little tear
I was scared to cry
Everything i feard
But i kept inside
I dont wanna hold it back
One more day
Oh was it away
Every tiny thought
Clouding up my head
Every single word that
I never said
I refuse to feel ashamed
Let it rain
Let it rain

No Parade lyrics

I'm already looking back
I'm already looking around
Where did we get off the track
What wass it that brought us down

I'm already waking up
How I've been asleep too long
Losing you is hard enough
Not knowing anything was wrong

Changes come but where they go?
You'll never know

Just another day like any other
Nothing in the sky said run for cover
Just another reason never thought it would end this way
There was no parade
No lights flashing
No songs to sing along the way
There was no parade

Four years were supposed to last
You were never supposed to be
Just somebody in the past
Somebody I used to see

Trouble crept up all nights
Warning never came a time
Before I knew it we were dust
Just left behind, left behind

Changes come but where they go?
You'll never know

Just another day like any other
Nothing in the sky said run for cover
Just another reason never thought it would end this way
There was no parade
No lights flashing
No songs to sing along the way
There was no parade
No waves crashing
There was no one else around for days
There was no parade

After all the losing never hurt than last goodbye
It was sudden as butterflies

There was no parade
No lights flashing
No songs to sing along the way
There was no parade
No waves crashing
There was no one else around for days
There was no parade

Papercut lyrics

I'm ok, I'm ok
Don't keep asking me I might dissenagrate
What you want? I moved on.
Everything is going well at least thats what I tell myself
I wish I was the tinman so I wouldn't have a heart to break

I'm ok, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All these tears are just drops in the ocean baby
You barely even cross my mind, no no
And it doesn't hurt that much
It was only a papercut
Its only a papercut. papercut yeah

I forget that its there
You keep calling and calling you don't care
How it burns
How it stings
Just cuz you can't see it bleed
Doesn't mean it don't cut deep

I wish I was the tinman so I wouldn't have a heart to break
I'm ok, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All these tears are just drops in the ocean baby
You barely even cross my mind, I'll be fine
No it doesn't hurt that much
It was only a papercut
Its only a papercut. papercut

The more I give, the less I get
Sometimes I wish that we never met
Cuz I was fine till you broke through
But don't worry baby, I'll get over you
By tomorrow or the next day, or the next day, or the next day

I'm ok, I'll be fine
I only think about you half the time
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

I'm ok, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All those tears were just drops in the ocean baby
You never even cross my mind
No No
Boy you wish it hurt that much
it was only a papercut
Its only a papercut, papercut yeah
Its only a papercut, papercut yeah

I'm ok, I'm ok

Postcard lyrics

It's pouring outside, and my roof is leaking
I just let the raindrops bleed out the ink from my notebook sheets, and
Today's a Thursday, and then it's three days late
I marked on the calendar, and circled today's date
This is the last straw, this isn't life here
I'm packing my dreams up, and leaving my nightmares

And they save the west til you feel the sunset
And there you'll become a star
So I traded my skinny jeans for dreams and limousines
And I'm gone

I'll send you a postcard, saying I'm alright (alright)
On the back, that I'm in love with life
I'll send you a postcard, and sign my name in the stars
My radio's turned up, a full tank in my car
And I promise we'll be together
I'll never say never, I'll always remember goodbye
'Cause I gotta go
I'll send you a postcard

Smashing on the gas, 95 on the highway
Got about a thousand more miles to go, I might make it by Friday
The road's never ending, I never slow pace, and
The choice is now all mine, for my destination
They ask why I'm rushing, my dreams are waiting
So fasten your seatbelt, 'cause I'm gonna make it

And they save the west til you feel the sunset
And there you'll become a star
So I traded my skinny jeans for dreams and limousines
And I'm gone

I'll send you a postcard, saying I'm alright (alright)
On the back, that I'm in love with life
I'll send you a postcard, and sign my name in the stars
My radio's turned up, a full tank in my car
And I promise we'll be together
I'll never say never, I'll always remember goodbye
'Cause I gotta go
I'll send you a postcard
I'll send you a postcard

To whom it may concern, whoever this gets to
There's no looking back, I took off my rearview
Got my hopes on the passenger side
There's only room for two
And I'll...

I'll send you a postcard, saying I'm alright (alright)
On the back, that I'm in love with life
I'll send you a postcard, and sign my name in the stars
My radio's turned up, a full tank in my car
And I promise we'll be together
I'll never say never, I'll always remember goodbye
'Cause I gotta go
I'll send you a postcard

Uh, yeah
Hush little baby, don't you cry

To carry us through

Vertigo lyrics

House of mirrors, I see your face
Come nearer, it's so hot in this place
I can't hear you, I can't breathe when you touch me
I drown and I drown and I drown

I feel like Alice, falling down through the hole
Can't stop this, going out of control
But I like it, in a freefall
That keeps going up, going up, going up

I'm so high from this love, I don't wanna look down
The room starts to sway every time you're around
Like the teacups at Disney, you're making me dizzy
You give me vertigo
When I jump on the table, I spin like a dreidle
Hold on to me baby, I feel so unstable
If I'd try to drive, I'd get a DUI
You give me vertigo

It's the next verse in our unwritten story
In the first verse, I knew you did something for me
I'm tangled, got your arms wrapped around me
I fall and I fall and I fall

I'm so high from this love, I don't wanna look down
The room starts to sway every time you're around
Like the teacups at Disney, you're making me dizzy
You give me vertigo
When I jump on the table, I spin like a dreidle
Hold on to me baby, I feel so unstable
If I'd try to drive, I'd get a DUI
You give me vertigo

You take the ground away from under my feet
Baby when you're around, there's no gravity
It's like I'm under the influence
Under the influence
Under the influence of your love

I'm so high from this love, I don't wanna look down
The room starts to sway every time you're around
Like the teacups at Disney, you're making me dizzy
You give me vertigo
When I jump on the table, I spin like a dreidle
Hold on to me baby, I feel so unstable
If I'd try to drive, I'd get a DUI
You give me vertigo

I'm so high, high, high
I'm so high, high, high

I'm so high from this love, I don't wanna look down
The room starts to sway every time you're around
Like the teacups at Disney, you're making me dizzy
You give me vertigo

Walking On Snow lyrics

You find the words but all they do is...
You think im paying the price but its not costing me
Ur love was a waste of time, you've been left behind
You made no mark on me, youre gone and you left no sign
Ur not on my mind, dont try to press rewind

Its like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
You know what you said never carried away
I came out untouched and in another place
When ya gonna get it
Im so unaffected

When i was flying high you tried to clip my wings
(you shot me out of the sky)
You tried to make it up by buying expensive things
(my love you cannot buy)
Ur love was a waste of time, you've been left behind
You made no mark on me, youre gone and you left no sign
Ur not on my mind, dont try to press rewind

Its like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
You know what you said never carried away
I came out untouched and in another place
When ya gonna get it
Im so unaffected
Its like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
Youre not gonna see, gonna see this heart break
You huff and you puff but im not blown away
When are you gonna get it
Im so unaffected

You try and find, find faults in me
You project yourself, hate so easily
You already lost so you push me more
Cuz....

1,2,3,4

Its like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
You know what you said never carried away
I came out untouched and in another place
When ya gonna get it
Im so unaffected
Its like walking on snow, without leaving a trace
Youre not gonna see, gonnasee this heart break
You huff and you puff but im not blown away
When are you gonna get it
Im so unaffected

When are you gonna get it
Im so unaffected

Was I The Only One lyrics

Mmmm.
When you told me that I was a star in the sky,
Baby I believed every word.
And you seemed so sincere,
It was perfectly clear,
Cause forever was all that I heard.
And every little kiss,
From your tender lips,
Couldn't of been a lie.
I fell hard over head,
Without a safty net,
And I don't understand this goodbye.

Was I the only one who fell in love?
There never really was the two of us.
And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.
Was I the only one, only one, in love?

As I walk down the hall,
See the place on the wall,
Where the picture of us used to be.
I fight back those tears, cause I still feel you here.
How could you walk out so easily?
And I dont understand, how I can feel this pain, and still be alive.
And all these broken dreams,
And all these memories,
Are killing me inside.

Was I the only one who fell in love?
There never really was the two of us.
And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.
Was I the only one, only one,
Tell me, what I'm supposed to do with all this love?
Baby, it was supposed to be the two of us.
Help me, cause I still don't want to believe.

I was the only one.
I was the only one.
I the only one who fell in love.
There never really was the two of us, hey.
And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.
I the only one, the only one.
I the only one who fell in love.
There never really was the two of us.
And maybe my all just wasn't good enough.
Was I the only one, the only one, in love?

When you told me that I was a star in the sky,
Baby I believed every word.

Watch You Go lyrics

I'm seeing break lights,
that means he's leaving me again.
This is like the eighth time,
I guess I'll see him in the morning.
Cause he'll come back,
he always does.
And then we fight and then we fuss again,
back to the beginning.

But we seem to make up every time.
But when we don't break up the fault is mine.
But before we fall out again,
theres something you should know.
I'd hate to see you leave,
but I'd love to watch you go.
Go, go.
Love to watch you go.
Go, go.

I'm seeing daylight,
and I'm still alone in my bed.
Something ain't right,
so should I go to him instead?
I messed up this time, I always do.
And then we fight and then we're through again.
Back to the beginning.

But we seem to make up every time.
But when we don't break up the fault is mine.
But before we fall out again,
theres something you should know.
I'd hate to see you leave,
but I'd love to watch you go.
Go, go.
Love to watch you go.
Go, go.

Who's gonna help me save us?
He made us, want again.
Will he take me back this time,
after what I did?
He has no idea,
why he should spend one more night here.
Its over again.

But we seem to make up every time.
But when we don't break up the fault is mine.
But before we fall out again,
theres something you should know.
I'd hate to see you leave,
but I'd love to watch you go.
But we seem to make up every time.
But when we don't break up the fault is mine.
But before we fall out again,
theres something you should know.
I'd hate to see you leave,
but I'd love to watch you go.
Go, go.
Love to watch you go.
Go, go.
