goddess 04:02
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 03:42
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

elegy in c 04:36
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

better 03:37
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
