Tribute

My tribute

[Chorus:]
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have made me
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have made me
Here's my tribute

[Verse:]
15, I had known to be
So confused, broken easily
Now I could not be off the memory but you're next to me

18, you made me see
You lit the lights I've been dampening
Now I could not be off the memory but you're next to me

My passion was abused, my words were never used
But now I hope that you can see

[Chorus:]
That it's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me and what you do
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have made me, look how I grew
Here's my tribute

[Verse:]
23, now I'm taken in
This vicious whirl I was captured in
Now I could not be off the memory but you're next to me

My passion was abused, my words were never used
But now I hope that you can see

[Chorus:]
That it's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me and what you do
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have made me, look how I grew
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me and what you do
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have made me, look how I grew
Here's my tribute

It's my tribute!
My tribute! Oh no!

[Bridge x2:]
This life I've been brought
Life I've been leading
It's my life, it's my tribute

And it's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me and what you do

[Chorus:]
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me and what you do
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have made me, look how I grew
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have shown me and what you do
It's all for you, it's all for you
For what you have made me, look how I grew
Here's my tribute

Love Me Again

Know I've done wrong,
I left your heart torn
Is that what devils do?
Took you so low,
Where only fools go
I shook the angel in you

Now I'm rising from the ground
Rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I found
There's nothing I can't do!

[Chorus:]
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?

Can you love me again?

It's unforgivable,
I stole and burnt your soul
Is that what demons do?
They rule the worst of me
Destroy everything,
They bring down angels like you

Now I'm rising from the ground
Rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I found
There's nothing I can't do!

[Chorus:]
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?

Can you love me again?

I told you once again,
Do this again, do this again oh lord
I told you once again,
Do this again, do this again oh no

[Chorus:]
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
Oh no no

Can you love me again?

Losing Sleep

[Verse:]
It's 3 AM, I'm calling in to tell you about what I do here
I'm losing sleep
I'm losing sleep
Nervous, I'm around these lonely eyes, that's leaving me filled with fear

And I know what you tried
To be a child scared of the night

[Pre-Chorus:]
And I know what you tried
To be a child scared, so scared of the night

Easy

[Verse:]
Just another song, just another tale
Of a broken heart
Don't wanna see you hurt,
there's something you should learn
From the stars

[Pre-Chorus:]
My friend you ought to know
I'm afraid it's time to know

[Chorus:]
Whoever said love was easy?
Do you know they told you wrong?
'Cause every time you feel it yea
A piece of you is gone
Is it something that you want?
Something that you need?
'Cause honey you should know
Whoever said love was easy?
Do you know they told you wrong?

[Verse:]
Write it on the wall, tell it to them all
I'm happy now
Now you're standing tall
Don't wanna see you fall
Down to the ground

[Pre-Chorus:]
My friend you ought to know
I'm afraid it's time to know

[Chorus:]
Whoever said love was easy?
Do you know they told you wrong?
'Cause every time you feel it yea
A piece of you is gone
Is it something that you want?
Something that you need?
'Cause honey you should know
Whoever said love was easy?
Do you know they told you wrong?

[Bridge:]
I know the feeling, is sweeter than ever
But I won't regret
I'd rather tell you, now or never
What to expect

Tears don't always dry
But tell em there's no lie
'Cause at the end

[Chorus:]
Whoever said love was easy?
Do you know they told you wrong?
'Cause every time you feel it yea
A piece of you is gone
Something that you want? Need?
'Cause honey you should know
Whoever said love was easy?
Do you know they told you wrong?

Oh no, that's what you wrote

Try

Working so hard, I was alone
Too much on my cards, too much going on
Lately I've found I'm headed astray
And none of your feels care in to play
I'll make it stronger, stronger, stronger
Cause now I can see the fakes using me
Make you stronger, stronger
Cause I know its you saving me

I will try, try, try not to bring it all hold
I will fight, fight, fight for what we had before
You don't even want this
You don't even mean this
You don't have to cover up the tears at all
Cause I will try, try, try not to bring it all whole

10 days apart when 3 seems insane
You can't hear my voice you still hear my name
A call from a afar a message to send
I pray you don't leave and nothing has changed
I'll make you stronger, stronger
Cause now I can see the things that use me
I'll make us stronger, stronger,
I know its you saving me

I will try, try, try not to bring it all hold
I will fight, fight, fight for what we had before
You don't even want this
You don't even mean this
You don't have to cover up the tears at all
Cause I will try, try, try not to bring it all whole
Try na na na...

I gotta try now
I've been breaking this whole for far too long
So I, I..

I will try, try, try not to bring it all hold
I will fight, fight, fight for what we had before
You don't even want this
You don't even mean this
You don't have to cover up the tears at all
Cause I will try, try, try not to bring it all whole.

I will try, try, try, try, try not to bring it all hold
Fight, fight, fight, fight no no no
Cause I will try, try, try not to bring it all hold
Try na na na...

Out Of My Head

Living in a broken home alone
16 weeks since you've been gone
As time goes by there's no pieces left
No memories of you & me

To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?

Free to see the world now as my own
Sleep with any woman that I want
But anytime anyone gets close
Breaks through my mind, what I have lost

To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?

You called to say you're missing me, but never ask how I feel
I'm beaten, I'm broke
I'm out of my mind, but learning to get on by fine

To shut out being lonely; I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
To shut out being lonely; I get out of my head
Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?

Cheating

I saw you on Sunday, Monday
Hanging with your man again
You came back on a Tuesday
With that cold a' look ashamed

Oh I could love you better
Better than you once knew
If you're cheaitng, cheat on
'cause cheating's just a thing you do
It's just a thing you do

I saw you on Friday, Saturday
Tearing up another heart
You came home a' crying
Why you take it all so hard?

You know I love you better
Better than you once knew
If you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
But I would never cheat on you

Yeah, I could love you, better
Better than you once knew
But if you're cheating, cheat on, yeah
'Cause cheating's just the thing you do
It's just a thing you do

Ohhh
I've been told you baby
You done some things so bad to me ahh
I know

You are the one who's creeping,
You are the one who's cheating,
But if you're heart is beating,
Bring it on, bring it to me. [x2]

You are the one who's creeping
You are the one who's cheating
But if you're heart is beating
Bring it on, bring it to me. [x2]

I could love you, better
Better than you once knew
If you're cheating, cheat on
But I would never cheat on you, no.

I could love you, better
Better than you once knew
If you're cheating, cheat on
'Cause cheating's just a thing you do.

Running

[Verse:]
100 years, 2000 miles
To you I'd run through day and night
We've got to finish what we started
We've got a lot to rescue darling

[Verse:]
My shirt is torn, the shoes are worn
My birth's been drawn but still I'm strong
I feel like I'm a force of nature
But guess who made you my creator

Trying stop a river when it wants to rise
Trying to stop a blaze off a burning fire
I'm a hurricane, it ain't stopping
No no no

And I keep... keep running
I keep... keep running
I keep... keep coming back for more, no no
Keep running

I keep... keep coming back for more, no

I've crossed through time
And giving up never crossed my mind
I feel like I'm a force of nature
But guess who made you my creator

Trying stop a river when it wants to rise
Trying to stop a blaze off a burning fire
I'm a hurricane, it ain't stopping
No no no

Gold Dust

[Verse:]
You and I, it's my time to talk
I'm throwing out these 2 years of thoughts
Please and take a deep breath
I'll lay my heart out, yea I put it on the floor

Tears crash down
Don't face, not now
Screaming out how I changed through time
I know it's hard to leave it
To say we've been defeated

[Pre-Chorus:]
But everything around has changed
My my
I'll be here

[Chorus:]
Gold dust
Gold dust
Gold dust
Tear drops
Tear drops
Tear drops

[Verse:]
Memories, give out thought to nothing
Carelessly, through the night I put it there
And they got time too easy
Thought they seem so pleasing

[Pre-Chorus:]
But everything around has changed
My my
I'll be here

[Chorus:]
Gold dust
Gold dust
Gold dust
Tear drops
Tear drops
Tear drops

[Bridge:]
And your trust holds me down
When I wake you're just gonna leave
And I don't want you to be lonely
'Cause I know you've found your love with me
And I know that time's not falling
And we're too scared to move forward
I hate to see you leaving
When it's falling best believe I'm here

[Chorus x3:]
Gold dust
Gold dust
Gold dust
Tear drops
Tear drops
Tear drops

Goodnight Goodbye

[Verse:]
As soon as the doors slammed
And silence that fell
Was all that you left me
With a story to tell
But I'll take your hands and as chance
Then I'll smoke with you

[Pre-Chorus:]
I tried to find the truth
And I ain't there with you
I never listen, I never listen
All the things you said
I'll never hear again
I should've listened

[Chorus:]
Don't say goodnight
Know your love didn't mean goodbye
We just watched it burn
Know we could've kept going by
I should be loving you
I should be loving you

[Verse:]
Your makeup on my sheets
Your clothes on the floor
The photos that I'll keep
How we were before
Before I took you for granted
Before the memories were torn

[Pre-Chorus:]
I tried to find the truth
And I ain't there with you
I never listen, I never listen
All the things you said
I'll never hear again
I should've listened

[Chorus:]
Don't say goodnight
Know your love didn't mean goodbye
We just watched it burn
Know we could've kept going by
I should be loving you
I should be loving you

[Bridge:]
It's time to confess, I'm doing my best
But this time I won't get it wrong
It's time to confess, I'm doing my best
But this time I won't lead you wrong

[Chorus:]
Don't say goodnight
Know your love didn't mean goodbye
We just watched it burn
Know we could've kept going by
I should be loving you
I should be loving you

Down The Line

[Verse:]
I've been battered, I've been bruised
And though I know it's no excuse
For you I know I'm right
And in another place, in another time

Right now can't pay the bills, I cannot go
Can't give you anything you need

But maybe if you'll meet me further down the line
'Cause you're the right person at the wrong time

And leave the dark behind
I wanna break the chains of life
With you right by my side

[Chorus:]
I wanna run into the light

Nothing

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

[Verse:]
I came here tonight, I know I've been reborn
Give you one last chance before I move on
I can't stop remembering, it's only tearing me apart
I'm suffering, I'm struggling to get this all out of my heart

[Chorus:]
Well it's nothing I can't do for you
Nothing, that's good to know

It's all my fault, you're hard to break
Nothing I can't do for you
It's good to know

[Verse:]
However hard you may cry
I won't give you up, you won't know why
You're never in my words, you never stop to dance
You never ask yourself what they're for
I'm suffering, I'm struggling to get this all out of my heart

[Chorus:]
Well it's nothing I can't do for you
Nothing, that's good to know
I've never learned from my mistakes
It's all my fault, you're hard to break
Nothing I can't do for you
It's good to know

I've been tryin to get you what you want
Been through everything you want
Now that's never gonna leave, it's never gonna leave now
