So seldom thought and thought alone
Could lead us safe and straight to home
These many metres you have grown
Oh yes you grow, oh, oh, oh, oh
So rare it is to face a task
On which the best have left their mark
A lock without a key or shaft
For it to oh oh open
For it to oh oh open
CHORUS:
Before you know it you'll be in the air once more
And settle grudges when you're set to set the score
Nobody here could know this Devil any more
Except for you oo oo ooh
So tell me now and tell me quick
Before the beaters break our necks
So is it gold, or just a speck
In front of you oo oo ooh
CHORUS 2:
And in that second we see it's lightning all along
We're never sure exactly what is going on
Nobody here could sing that Devil of a song
Except for you oo oo ooh

Dress it up just how you want
There's not a thing you
Can hide from me anymore
I know your mind
Trace it back to the start
You want to go back there
So do I, in some ways
(There's no rewind)
CHORUS 1:
And you don't know the half of it
Dreading the moments when you
Steal a glimpse of happiness
when no one's watching you
There's no one watching now
CHORUS 2:
And you don't know the half of it
Screaming in silence and still
There is no heart inside your chest
You give in so easy like me
Dress it up just how you want
Your arrogance triggers my skin
To crawl right off my aching frame
You're just like him
Strutting round the rooms with friends
I'm doing my best to contain
The dangers left by everything
They left behind

Always
04:07

After all this time, always yours though you were never mine
After all this time, hiding what I felt deep down inside
So it chokes me up, that you don't know how I felt
And it breaks me up, that I can't live and forget
And when it wakes me up, these nightmares filling my bed
Whisper just one word, so I can believe what I said
After all this time, playing roles and keeping myself from the light
In the back of my mind, the reasons that I've done this for all this time
If all I do is bring a little piece of peace to you
If all I do is bring a little safety to your view
After all's been said, there's a little more I'd like to say

Snape Hearts Lily

Look at those eyes
They're looking everywhere
Except in my way
Look at those eyes
Look at that heart
It's big enough to live
But who has it's keys?
Look at that heart
If only, if only, you'd see what I can see
There's something very special about our chemistry
Your eyes would finally see
We'll see, maybe
Look at those eyes
The rolling of days
We haven't yet lived
Look at those eyes
Look at that heart
Could leave a hole in mine
I'd never forget
That beautiful heart
You're clever, very clever but not enough to see
That I've been patient waiting in silent secrecy
If only, yeah if only, your eyes could stop and see
Into me, maybe
CHORUS:
I need you
Over and under and through and through
I need you
Tell me what do I have to say or do
Just to get these emotions through to you
(But in the end, we'll all lose you)
Look at my eyes
They're dark and hard to read
But I'm not a book
To look at with eyes
Look at my heart
It may seem black and cold
But in it there's love
Hidden inside
There's secrets, and these secrets can breed in secrecy
The picture's, left unfinished, until the end's revealed
If only, yeah if only, the love that I still feel
Could breathe, maybe
Look at those eyes
They're looking everywhere
but never at me

No one ever said a nice thing about me
Til you came round and turned the whole world on it's head
Nothing ever seemed so pretty or surprising
Til you came round and turned the whole world on it's head
And it's amazing that a tiny little kindness
Could make a lot difference to a tiny little person
But no one ever saw the loyalty inside me
Til you came round and treaded me with fairness and with love
I'm sorry that I tried to stop you coming back from Christmas
And I'm sorry that I dropped that cake on all those awful visitors
And honestly I've got to say, I'm sorry for the bludgers
But I really thought you would be better off with hopeless muggles

If I Owned A Bakery
03:22

I see monsters, I see heroes, I see what we do
It's a riddle, in the middle, I see me and you
One step closer to knowing what these crazy visions mean
One step closer to knowing when I'll finally get to breathe
Rain is gentle, on these buildings, fading memories blue
Tiny pictures, getting smaller, till they fade from view
One step closer to working out these crazy quirky dreams
One step closer to guessing where this twisting path might lead
Tell me your secrets, I swear I won't tell
Lend me your creatures, and I'll bake them like bread
Tell me your secrets, I promise I'll stay away
Stay away
If I owned a bakery
I would make you anything you dreamed

Everyone I Love Dies
06:33
|

And it's so hard to find someone to trust
But I trust you
And it's so hard to find someone to love
But I love you
And it's so hard to just be strong enough
But you're my strength
And it's so hard to know I'm good enough
But you're my faith
CHORUS 1:
And if these walls of mine could spare me from this pain
I would build them to the sky (and)
And if these fists of mine could throw away this rage
I would punch on every night til dawn
CHORUS 2:
And if these words I find could tell me what to say
I would write them on the walls and
And if your dying left me strong in any way
I would thank you when we meet again
Everyone that I love dies some time
Everyone that I love dies some times before their time
