We met once before, I don't know if you remember. How close to the door, she's ready to go. Outside brought the cold weather you ain't dressed for. She's waiting on her own with nowhere to go. I still see your silhouette at sunsets and I hate being second best. Holding on to memories that we had but now it's over. You see me all happy and smiles in white. I see you dressed up and teary eyed. I'm hopelessly hoping that nothing will happen As you end the night with the sky. Drinks we washed down, inhibitions lost again. Dress laying on the floor, with no sense of control. Sunlight breaks through the glass, the light to make you feel rough. But still she feels no regret. I still see your silhouette at sunsets and I hate being second best. Holding on to memories that we had but now it's over. You see me all happy and smiles in white. I see you dressed up and teary eyed. I'm hopelessly hoping that nothing will happen As you end the night with the sky. The past I'm ready to forget, I hope and pray that it's worth it. Just when I thought I'd worked it out You messed up and it's all over. The past I'm ready to forget, I hope and pray that he's worth it. Just when I thought we'd worked it out You messed up and it's all over now.

Your minds made up. Well I've seen it all before but I won't wake up. You sent me to the door. And I know that it's been over quite a while. I know that I've got nothing on your style. But I shoot to kill and you go down. The ghost that you've become, making footsteps with no sound. But I shoot to kill and you go down. The ghost that you've become, haunting my house with your smile. On grey skies which hide our scars. Left from that night which we held up to the bar. And I know that it's been over quite a while. I know that I've got nothing on your style. Well I've got nothing on your style. But I shoot to kill and you go down. The ghost that you've become, making footsteps with no sound. But I shoot to kill and you go down. The ghost that you've become, haunting my house with your smile. After all these years you're still the same. You broke my heart for the last time and you messed me up again. I know that it's been over quite a while. I know that I've got nothing on your style.

I woke up this morning, I was still dreaming of yesterday. I remember the place where we first met And those things you wore in your hair. The smile on your face as I held your hand. Now it's lost in the distance. I'm sorry for calling, your pictures are haunting. These four walls are talking to me. Please won't you give me the help that I need To get me out of this place. Well guess who's laughing now, this took me a while to say out loud. Well I guess things didn't quite go to plan. I hope you choke on those words you said. And all of these songs that remind me of you. This is all I'll be singing. I'm sorry for calling, your pictures are haunting. These four walls are talking to me. Please won't you give me the help that I need To get me out of this place. I gave you my heart and I swear I'll never see another sunset Without thinking of your eyes. Nothing but make believe will ever feel quite real to me again. I'm sorry for calling, your memories are haunting. These four walls are talking to me. Please won't you give me the help that I need To get me out of this place. I'm down but not out.

When you wake up I just hope you realise what you've done this time. 'Cause it's over there's no way that I can forget And I won't forgive this time. You're a liar and you've got me hooked on every single word. But be truthful and tell me was he worth his weight in gold? 'Cause realise that I'll be on your mind Every time you look into his eyes. I'm still hoping when it's over I'll be more than a memory. Spinning circles around my head for far too long. Summer's over; the leaves will fade, this feeling won't. You're a liar and you've got me hooked on every single word. But be truthful and tell me was he worth his weight in gold? 'Cause realise that I'll be on your mind Every time you look into his eyes. I'm still hoping when it's over I'll be more than a memory.

Top-side tiles and broken mirrors. We would sit and watch them glimmer in the sun. You thought you were the only one. Red lights will take their toll on a handsome twenty-one year old. Left heartless with a sinking soul, and left with nowhere else to go. We were fine when we met, now we're filled with regret And there's nothing left so we throw it all away. We were in love but it's safe to say it's over. We watched it die as if we were counting stars. Take a breath, make it your last regret Just don't expect that we can ever be friends again. Green lights will take their hold on a young girl with no self control. Out late with her head hung low, left with no one else she knows. We were fine when we met, now we're held in contempt. Hate is all that's left so we throw it all away. We were in love but it's safe to say it's over. We watched it die as if we were counting stars. Take a breath, make it your last regret Just don't expect that we can ever be friends again. You called me in October but baby this has got to end. You want to talk when I'm sober but I'm never coming home. Shut up, shut up.

Compass 04:53
And honestly I could have stayed there forever With you by my side watching the sunset. Out of our minds, optimistic and young. We'd write on the pages the words we meant most. Coastlines we'd walk and leave our names in the sand. Our silhouettes scatter as I grab your hand. All of our days spent with nothing to show but scars on lonely hearts. Don't let me go, I'm not ready to fall. Now all of my days seem to bleed into one. My minds been at sea ever since you've been gone. So I close my eyes and hope for sleep but I can only dream of you. Now months have passed and nothing has changed And every time that I see you my hand starts to shake. I promised myself I'd stay strong for you But I've been distant since you left. Don't let me go, I'm not ready to fall. 'Cause these sunsets just aren't the same anymore And I'm dying to get back what we had before. Please stop letting yourself feel so alone And let your heart be the compass that guides you home. Looking back on where we started. Remember what we had before. Thinking that it would be forever. Waiting for you to return.
