Plumb - Beautiful Lumps of Coal Album Lyrics

You thought you had me all tied up in a little knot
You thought I'd go on living just
Like you like you until you asked me nicely to stop
But suprise
I'm free,
I'm free,
I'm Free

To be the girl you tried to steal
You thought I'd freeze outwithered and abandoned
Now you know differently that
I'm gonna live much more than you ever imagined
So suprise
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free

To be the girl you tried to steal
To be the girl you tried to steal from me
It isn't every day
Someone sets you free
And gives you walking papers
To be the real thing
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
To be the girl you tried to steal

I'm free
I'm free, yea
I'm free
To be the girl you tried to steal
To be the girl you tried to steal from me

I lost it all
You got it back
Believed in me
When I gave up on myself again

A sudden rain
Revealed your face
I knew right then
No matter where I go I'd
Have your hand to hold

We will sink and
We will swim
'Til the ocean turns to sand
We will laugh
We will cry
'Til there's no more breath inside
Cause we will sink
We will swim

I was,
A tender reed
Bent in the wind
And then the storm passed
And you helped me stand upright again

So here we are
Nothing to lose

So take my hand
We'll jump right in
The water's warm
Its time to live

We will sink and
We will swim
'Til the ocean turns to sand
We will laugh
We will cry
'Til there's no more breath inside
Cause we will sink
We will swim

It doesn't rain
For nothing
It will shine
For you

We will sink and
We will swim
Til' the ocean turns to sand
We will laugh
We will cry
Til' there's no more breath inside
Cause we will sink
We will swim

I said some things, to you I
Think that I shouldnt've said
I spoke out of turn, and hurt
You I've learned that it hurts me back

Oh what could be worse than,
Me losing you...

What if you, never came back
What would I do without you

I got in the car, turned on the lights and the radio...
I drove really fast, and I cried hard, then you know
Oh where were you, and why did I say those things?

What if you never came back
What would I do, without you...here

Is there anyway you can forgive
Me for what I've done
Is there anyway you could love
Me still, for being so...wrong

Can you forgive me
Can you forgive me...

What if you never came back...
What would I do without you here
Without you here
Without you here

You sit there on the couch
Sipping your scotch and ice
You turn the TV on
And tune me out again

So what would you say to me
If you could talk to me
You could ask anything
I wouldn't lie
But you're okay with this
Damaging awkwardness
So i'll just play it safe
And keep it inside
Boys don't cry

I used to hold your hand
So tight there was no question
But now even when you're near
I've never felt so alone

If you just stand beside me
I'll keep you in my life
Tell me how much you love me
And i'll be just fine
Don't be afraid of me

Hush
I can hear you breathing
Sweet
The taste of your tender kiss
I'm crazy, crazy tonight
Baby hold me tonight
Capture my heart

Hold me til morning
Love me right now
Catch me, I'm falling
Never let go
Hold me til morning
Love me right now

Stop
Let my love surround you
Safe
My face inside your hands
I'm crazy, crazy tonight
Baby hold me tonight
Capture my heart

Hold me til morning
Love me right now
Catch me, I'm falling
Never let go

Hold me til morning
Love me

And I will never be the same again
Tonight lives forever in my dreams
And I will be there when the morning comes
Tonight lasts forever

Hold me til morning
Love me right now
Catch me, I'm falling
Never let go
Hold me til morning
Love me

Hold me til morning
Love me right now
Catch me, I'm falling
Never let go
Hold me til morning
Love me

And I will never be the same again

I didn't call you cuz you would make a fuss,
So I wrote it in a song for you.
You're no longer where I am inside.
We?re too different, me and you.
You can go your own way, and I'll go mine (just walk away).

You can take your chances, and I'll take mine.
It isn?t easy to look you in the face.
Cuz all you speak of, is yourself.
You don't represent me, it makes me cringe inside.
Can't you just forget where I am?
You can go your own way, and I'll go mine (just walk away).
You can take your chances, and I'll take mine (yeah).

Can't find any reason for you and I to stay.
Can't find any reason not to walk away.
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)

You can go your own way, and I'll go mine (just walk away).
You can take your chances, and I'll take mine (just walk away).
You can go your own way, and I'll go mine (I'll go mine).
You can take your chances, and I'll take mine (I'll take mine).

(I'll take mine)
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)...
Just walk away

Can see you standing in the pouring rain
Waiting for changes to carry you away
I can see the light fall from your eyes
As we get lost in the tears of this goodbye

But you can't go farther
Than my heart can go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Through the sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me

I can hear you laugh
When I close my eyes
I can picture your face
And the strength inside your smile
I can see the words
Dance across your lips
I'll remember forever
Something more than this

And you can't go farther
Than my heart can will go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Thought the sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
Fom me

So you can't go farther
Than my heart will go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Thought the sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me

And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me
That has taken you
From me

She's only known heartache and pain
But she's never known pain like this
She stands alone defending her name
When all that she's done is be who she is
Well is it so wrong to be who we are
When all she's done is fail

Cause she's so nice, naive and beautiful
Why does she get taken advantage
Why does she live in a world so cold
She takes advantage of the nice, naive and the beautiful

Cold is the throne of her hardened heart
No one has seen the softest part
Day after night she holds an ache
And won't budge to show this secret place
Well is it so wrong to hang on to hurt

Maybe she could set it free

Cause she's so nice, naive and beautiful
Why did she get taken for granted
Why did she live in a world so cold
He took advantage of the nice, naive and the beautiful

If you've been there you know
If you're still there hang on
We're all dealt our lumps of coal
What you do with it can turn beautiful
Well there's a life outside of this madness
And there's a face behind every scar
But there's a love overflowing with gladness
Get out of that place that's restraining your love
I said get out of that place
That's restraining your love

Did you ever hear of Carrie
Mother of six
Angel to a thousand
You may have never seen her
But her actions spoke much louder

She changed this place
She changed this place

Did you ever meet a man named Joe
Father to eight
Giver to plenty more
He'd give you his very last dollar
When what he needed cost two

He changed this place
Without you knowing his face

We're so selfish
Self seeking
We're so desperate to be number one
So unworthy
Of what's given
What are we doing here

Have you ever played the martyr
Only for the reason of a prize

Can we ever give up trying
To be something in another's eyes
And change this place
We can change this place

We're so selfish
Self seeking
We're so desperate to be number one
So unworthy
Of what's given
What are we doing here

Unnoticed
Unnoticed
Unnoticed
Unnoticed

We're so selfish
Self seeking
We're so desperate to be number one
So unworthy
Of what's given
What are we doing here

We're so selfish
Self seeking
We're so desperate to be number one
So unworthy
Of what's given
What are we doing here

Look at me, I'm twenty three
Beautiful, a sight to see tonight
A little dress to draw the press
And I'll be leaving all the rest behind

Well, be pleased, girl
If this is what you wanted
The whole world is watching you take the stage
What will you say?

Aren't I lovely and do you want me
'Cause I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and do you love me
'Cause I am desperately searching for something real

I close my eyes, imagine time
Will not forget my sacrifice
I numb the ache and decorate
My emptiness stand naked in the light

Well, be pleased, world
If this is what you wanted
This young girl is everything that you made
What will she say?

Aren't I lovely and do you want me
'Cause I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and do you love me
'Cause I am desperately searching for something real

The world goes home
The lights go down
My lipstick fades away

And do you want me
'Cause I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and do you love me
'Cause I am desperately searching for something real

And do you want me
'Cause I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and do you love me
'Cause I am desperately searching for something real

And do you want me
'Cause I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and do you love me
'Cause I am desperately searching for something real

Hey kiddo, what you gonna do when you get married?

Mmm just love 'em.

Just love 'em?

Yeah and kiss 'em

And kiss 'em? Is that what they do?

Hold on, you said
And I held on.
Lay down, your sweet head
And I laid it down.

I'd say, "tell me all you have seen".
And you gave of your life, to bring out my dreams.
And I need hope, and faith, and the goodness of grace.
And I need you to let me
Go my way

Time passed, things changed
Now i'm grown.
I'll hold his hand, we'll grow old.

We'll need hope, and faith, and the goodness of grace.
We'll need you to let us,
Go our way

You taught me so much
And you live in my eyes
I carry your blood, inside.
That will never change, no no.
No no
Woah yeah

Hope and faith
And the goodness of grace.
I'll need you to let me
Go my way
