Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'
If it hadn't been for love

Never woulda run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Never woulda seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn't been for love

Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be wishing I was free
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda took a mind to track her down
If it hadn't been for love

Never woulda loaded up a 44
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian'
If it hadn't been for love

Never woulda loaded up a 44
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

This is how the story went
I met someone by accident
It blew me away
It blew me away

It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away

I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Drop me off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of my head
Watch me wave
You watched me wave

Then you went on home to your skyscrapers
Neon lights and waiting papers
That you call home
You call it home

I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain, the morning rain
Although I wish that you were here
That same old road that brought me here
Is calling me home, It's calling me home

I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
And I can spend my whole life hiding my heart away

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
it’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go head and sell me out
and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

Baby I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all it all,
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat

She, she ain't real,
She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will,
She is a stranger,
You and I have history,
Or don't you remember?
Sure, she's got it all,
But, baby, is that really what you want?

Bless your soul, you've got you're head in the clouds,
You made a fool out of you,
And, boy, she's bringing you down,
She made your heart melt,
But you're cold to the core,
Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore,

Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,

She is half your age,
But I'm guessing that's the reason that you strayed,
I heard you've been missing me,
You've been telling people things that you shouldn't be,
Like when we creep out and she ain't around,
Haven't you heard the rumours?

Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,
You made a fool out of me,
And, boy, you're bringing me down,
You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core,
But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for,

Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,

All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean I meant it,
People say crazy things,
Just 'cause I said it, don't that mean I meant it,
Just 'cause you heard it,

Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,
Rumour has it, ooh,

But rumour has it he's the one I'm leaving you for.

Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I cant give you, what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables

Under hard? the skies I see ooh
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I've lived a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

So I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I cant give you, what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables

Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
And if I'm the cause for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I cant give you, what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah
Turning ohh

When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said
No final kiss to seal anything
I had no idea of the state we were in.

I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head

But don’t you remember, don’t you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby please remember me once more.

When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memories?
Cause I often think about where I happen to roam.
You more I do, the less I know.

But I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head.
But don’t you remember, don’t you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby please remember me once more.

Ohhhh

I gave you the space so you could breathe,
I kept my distance so you would be free,
I hope that you find the missing piece
To bring you back to me.

Why don’t you remember, don’t you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby please remember you used to love me.

When will I see you again?

"Someone Like You"

 I heard that you're settled down
 That you found a girl and you're married now.
 I heard that your dreams came true.
 Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

 Old friend, why are you so shy?
 Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

 I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
 But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
 I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
 That for me it isn't over.

 Never mind, I'll find someone like you
 I wish nothing but the best for you too
 Don't forget me, I beg
 I remember you said,
 "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
 Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
 Yeah

 You know how the time flies
 Only yesterday was the time of our lives
 We were born and raised
 In a summer haze
 Bound by the surprise of our glory days

 I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
 But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
 I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
 That for me it isn't over.

 Never mind, I'll find someone like you
 I wish nothing but the best for you too
 Don't forget me, I beg
 I remember you said,
 "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
 Yeah

 Nothing compares
 No worries or cares
 Regrets and mistakes
 They are memories made.
 Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

 Never mind, I'll find someone like you
 I wish nothing but the best for you
 Don't forget me, I beg
 I remember you said,
 "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

 Never mind, I'll find someone like you
 I wish nothing but the best for you too
 Don't forget me, I beg
 I remember you said,
 "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
 Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
 Yeah

"Set Fire To The Rain"

 I let it fall, my heart,
 And as it fell you rose to claim it
 It was dark and I was over
 Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

 My hands, they're strong
 But my knees were far too weak
 To stand in your arms
 Without falling to your feet

 But there's a side to you
 That I never knew, never knew.
 All the things you'd say
 They were never true, never true,
 And the games you play
 You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
 But I set fire to the rain,
 Watched it pour as I touched your face,
 Well, it burned while I cried
 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

 When I lay with you
 I could stay there
 Close my eyes
 Feel you here forever
 You and me together
 Nothing is better

 'Cause there's a side to you
 That I never knew, never knew,
 All the things you'd say,
 They were never true, never true,
 And the games you play
 You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
 But I set fire to the rain,
 Watched it pour as I touched your face,
 Well, it burned while I cried
 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

 I set fire to the rain
 And I threw us into the flames
 Where it felt something die
 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

 Sometimes I wake up by the door,
 That heart you caught must be waiting for you
 Even now when we're already over
 I can't help myself from looking for you.

[Chorus:]
 I set fire to the rain,
 Watched it pour as I touched your face,
 Well, it burned while I cried
 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

 I set fire to the rain,
 And I threw us into the flames
 Where it felt something die
 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, ohhhh!

 Oh noooo
 Let it burn
 Oh oh ohhhh
 Let it burn
 Oh oh ohhhh
 Let it burn
 Oh oh ohhh

"He Won't Go"

 Some say I'll be better without you
 But they don't know you like I do
 Or at least the sides I thought I knew

 I can't begged this time
 It drags on as I lose my mind
 Reminded by things I find
 Like notes and clothes you left behind

 Wake me up, wake me up when all is done
 I won't rise until this battle's won
 My dignity's become undone

 But I won't go
 I can't do it on my own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I'm willing to take the risk

 I won't go
 I can't do it on my own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I'm willing to take the risk

 So petrified, I'm so scared to step into this ride
 What if I lose my heart and fail declined?
 I won't forgive me if I give up trying

 I heard his voice today
 I didn't know a single word he said
 Not one resemblance to the man I met
 Just a vacant broken boy instead

 But I won't go
 I can't do it on my own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I'm willing to take the risk

 I won't go
 I can't do it on my own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I am willing to take the risk

 There will be times
 We'll try and give it up
 Bursting at the seams, no doubt
 We'll almost fall apart then burn the pieces
 To watch them turn to dust
 But nothing will ever taint us

 I won't go
 I can't do it on my own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I'm willing to take the risk

 I won't go
 I can't do it on my own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I am willing to take the risk

 Will he... will he still remember me?
 Will he still love me even when he's free?
 Or will he go back to the place where he would choose the poison over me?

 When we spoke yesterday,
 He said to hold my breath and sit and wait
 "I'll be home so soon, I won't be late"

 He won't go
 He can't do it on his own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 He's willing to take the risk

 So I won't go
 He can't do it on his own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I'm willing to take the risk

 Cause he won't go
 He can't do it on his own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 We're willing to take the risk

 I won't go
 I can't do it on my own
 If this ain't love, then what is?
 I'm willing to take the risk

"Take It All"

 Didn't I give it all,
 Tried my best,
 Gave you everything I had,
 Everything and no less?
 Didn't I do it right?
 Did I let you down?

 Maybe you got too used to
 By having me around.
 Still how can you walk away
 From all my tears?
 It's gonna be an empty road
 Without me right here.

[Chorus]
 But go on and take it,
 Take it all with you.
 Don't look back
 At this crumbling fool.
 Just take it all
 With my love,
 Take it all
 With my love.

 Maybe I should leave
 To help you see ‒
 Nothing is better than this
 And this is everything we need.
 So is it over?
 Is this really it?
 You've given up so easily,
 I thought you loved me more than this.

[Chorus]

 I will change if I must.
 Slow it down and bring it home, I will adjust.
 Oh if only, if only you knew,
 Everything I do is for you.

[Chorus]
