Heartache, what have you done to us?
A mistake, trapped in a distant hush
You were calm and beautiful
Til you made no sense at all
Trying to let to go
Tired of saying no
You said I was a goddess
True meaning of a goddess
When you’re lying on the kitchen floor
Nothing’s godly anymore
Divided, never stopped loving you from afar
Reminded, of the pride tearing us apart
Everything I saw in you
Is everything I hold onto
Blurring all the lines
Buried in my mind
You said I was a goddess
True meaning of a goddess
When you’re lying on the kitchen floor
Nothing’s godly anymore
Don’t tell a soul, who you are, where you’re hiding away
Keep it close to your heart you’re bulletproof
In the end you’ll be safe but afraid to leave, afraid to leave
You said I was a goddess
True meaning of a goddess
When you’re lying on the kitchen floor
Nothing’s godly anymore

violet hour

This time it feels like a daydream
Memories left on the shore
But paradise isn’t a real thing
For you anymore
You are the stars and I am the storm
Separate worlds but never alone
Out here to find a way to be closer
To all that we shared when we were one
You couldn’t be there for me
You couldn’t be there
But in this violet hour I swear
I feel you everywhere
Sat like a drop in the ocean
Casting my mind back a year
Every moment’s reflection
Is you, nothing more
You are the stars and I am the storm
Separate worlds but never alone
Thinking of you is now in my nature
Missing the time when we were one
You couldn’t be there for me
You couldn’t be there
But in this violet hour I swear
I feel you everywhere
You couldn’t be there for me
You couldn’t be there
But in this violet hour I swear
I feel you everywhere
But I can dream
But I can dream
But I can dream
But I can dream
You couldn’t be there for me
You couldn’t be there
But in this violet hour I swear
I feel you everywhere

I only miss you when I’m breathing
I’d miss you if I’d never seen your face before
And if I’d met you in another lifetime
I’d still be at your door
I miss the way you used to tell it
And the way they’d hang on every word you’d say
Cos no one else worked a room quite like you
And now it’s not the same
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
Sometimes we’d go and smell the roses
And other days we’d gravitate towards the shore
Finding clever ways to reinvent you
So five will never be a four
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
There’s ink on your fingertips
Stings on your river grips
When I’m alone in the night is the time I ignite all the sad thoughts of you
And the memories too
And the sound of your voice from the answerphone tone
A tiny reminder of where I belong
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more

You always danced to a different beat
Never one to be tamed
Hanging on by the skin of your teeth
Remember nothing’s changed
Summer nights we would call our own
Running wild in the green
Hear the bell ring to summon us home
Together you and me
Somehow you lost your way
Can’t find the words to say
Inside you feel that everything around you’s breaking
But I’m better cos of you
I’m better cos of you
Memories have begun to fade
Only dreams will remain
Melodies will never sound the same
Forever rearranged
Somehow you lost your way
Can’t find the words to say
Inside you feel that everything around you’s breaking
But I’m better cos of you
I’m better cos of you
Somehow you lost your way
Can’t find the words to say
Inside you feel that everything around you’s breaking
But I’m better cos of you
I’m better cos of you
