Breaking My Own Heart

I rushed right in
Just like a fool
So struck down by you
I didn't know what to do

I started on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart, yeah

I started on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart

Yeah I was frozen
By the pain
I tried to reach out to you
But I felt so ashamed

So, I kept on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart

I kept on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart

Save me
Somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Please save me

I need saving
Won't somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Ooo save me

I hung on
To every word you say
In search of a sign boy
You felt the same way

But it was only me
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart

If I keep on
Breaking my own heart
Breaking my own heart

Save me
Won't somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Save me

I need saving
Won't somebody save me
From this misery, love is killing me
Ooo save me

Ooh Save
I said "Save me"
From this misery, love is killing me
Please save me

Delayed Devotion

It seems you wanna give me
Oh, a life time of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you, babe, I watch you plead

But your words come much too late
My love for you has turned to hate
'Cause you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
Now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion

You try to convince me
Oh, about the possibilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity

'Cause your actions speak nothing no more
When it's what I've been waiting for
'Cause you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
'Cause you just let me wait
Now it's too late
For your delayed devotion

You played me for a fool for too long
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all
I'm no longer under your spell
Hear it in a song
You can go to Hell

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
And now its too late
For your delayed, delayed emotion

Distant Dreamer

Although you think I cope,
my head is filled with hope...
of some place other than here.

Although you think I smile,
inside all the while...
I'm wondering about my destiny.

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life.

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope, from today.

Even when you see me frown,
my heart won't let me down,
because I know there's better things to come (Woah Yeah).

And when life gets tough,
I feel I've had enough,
I hold on to a distant star,

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life...

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today.

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today.

Yeah, I'm a dreamer

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today,

Yeah i'm a dreamer...

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer.

Hanging On Too Long

It was just my mistake
Thinking you cared
It was just my mistake
Thinking you'd be there
That you'd be by my side
And that you wouldn't lie
My mistake

It was just my false hope
Thinking we'd last, yeah
It was just my false hope
Forgot all your pests
All those girls you denied
Smashed up hearts hung out to dry

I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
But I beat 'em all
Hanging on too long

I was a fool for you
Right from the start, yeah
I was a fool for you
Hoping for a spark
For some kind of sign
That you would be mine

I know it's wrong, I do
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long

My heart was clutching
To one fair right
My head was pumping
It could put up a fight

I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I need to move on
I'm hanging on too long

I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long

I'm Scared

The blank pages of my diary,
That I haven't touched since you left me,
The closed blinds in my home
See no light of day.
Dust gathers on my stereo
Cos I can't bare to hear the radio
The piano sits in a shaded space
With a picture of your face.

I'm scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won't go away.
In an instant, you were gone and I'm scared.

Coffee stains on your favorite book
Remind me of you so I can't take a look.
The magazines you left on the floor,
You won't need them anymore.

A towel left hangin on the wall,
No sign of wet foosteps in the hall
There's no smell of your sweet cologne.
I'm lying here alone.

I'm scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won't go away.
In an instant, you were gone and now I'm scared.

I'm scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won't go away.
In an instant, you were gone, now I'm scared.
In an instant you were gone and I'm scared.

Oh, Boy

Oh boy,
If you ever have to let me down
In this world,
My life surely
Would be upside down

If you ever find,
That your peace of mind,
Is shattered in so many ways and
I find my feet
Down on lonely street,
I’ll be stood there waiting for you
Boy you got me.

Oh yeah,
Let me look into your deep brown eyes,
Let me share,
Every moment
Every sweet surprise.

See that I have grown
And need mercy shown,
There’s a window to my heart,
If i find my feet
Down on lonely street,
I’ll be stood there waiting for you,

Boy, you’ve got me
High
Boy, you’ve got me
High.
Boy, you’ve got me
High
Boy, you’ve got me
High

But if I find my feet
Down on lonely street
I’ll be stood there waiting for you
Boy you’ve got me.

Please Stay

If I got on my knees
And I pleaded with you
Not to go
But to stay in my arms
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before

This time be different
Please stay don't go

If I call out your name
Like a prayer
Would you leave me alone
With my tears
Knowing I need you so
Would you still
Turn and go

This time be different
Please stay
Don't go please stay

I loved you before
I even knew your name
I wanted to give you
My heart
But when you came back
After leaving me one time
Oh, I knew, yes I knew
That the heartaches
Would start

If I called out
Your name like a song
That was written for you
You alone
Would you still
Hurt my pride
Oh, hey, how I cried

This time be different
Please stay

Oh, this time
Be different in some way
Don't go please stay
You know
I'll always love you
Darling
Please stay

Rockferry

I'd move to Rockferry,
Tomorrow
And I'd build my house, baby
With sorrow

I'd leave my shadow,
To fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you
'cos I'm not that kind

The midnight trains are boarding
All wrap up 8s
I pick my load and I fill my truck
before it’s too late

I leave the stars to judge
my every move
I'm not going to think of you, oh
I'd get the blues

There’s no sleep on the journey
away from time
A bag of songs and a heavy heart
won't make me down

I'll give it all my strength and my mind
I'll make this decision with or without

I'd move to Rockferry,
Tomorrow
And I'd build my house, baby
With sorrow

I'd leave my shadow,
To fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you
'cos I'm not that kind
not that kind

Rockferry, not that kind (repeat)
(fading) Rockferry......

Save It For Your Prayers

Heard it on the wire
You've been telling me lies
Heard in a sparrow's song
Every thing it said was wrong
Found it on your shirts
All the lipstick and the dirt
Your late nights on the town
Like red wine makes me down

I don't need no explanation
I don't need the truth
Show some remorse for me
And for what you do

Save it for your prayer, boy
There's no need to hurry
Save it for your prayer, boy
I've learned not to worry, yeah
Save it for your prayer
I, I'm not gonna care no
I'm not gonna be there for you

Read it in a letter
That you've hurt me so
Never thought
I'd leave you but
Now I guess
I don't know, oh
I thought
You'd love me and I
I thought we'd last
But now I realize
It was all in the past

Save it for your prayer, boy
There's no need to hurry
Save it for your prayer, boy
Cos I, I've learned
Not to worry, no
Save it for your prayer
I'm not gonna care no
I'm not gonna be there
Yeaaaaahhh
For yooooooou

For you

Save it for your prayer

Serious

Serious x 2

I’m a trophy on your arm,
You wear me like a charm,
Yes you do.
An accessory that suits,
Your new suede boots,
ohhh

I get a feeling deep down, inside,
Something just aint right.
I get a feeling that tells me I know,
Baby you never show…

How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be,
Serious? Serious in love?

A joke on my expense,
In front of all your friends,
All the time.
A game you like to play,
Leaves me solo,
every day.

I get a feeling deep down inside,
Something just aint right.
I get a feeling that tells me I know,
Baby you never show…

How you really feel for me
Tell me can we ever be,
Serious? Serious in love?

Serious? Serious in Love?

I get a feeling deep down inside ,
That something just ain’t right.
I get a feeling that tells me I know,
Baby you never show…

How you really feel for me,
Tell me, can we ever be, tell me,
Serious? Serious in love?

Serious,
So Serious
Serious
So Serious
Break it down
Serious
Break it down
Serious
Baby
Serious (into fade)

Stepping Stone

Verse 1

I rememeber way back way back when
I said i never wanna see your face again
Cause you were loving yes you were loving somebody else
And i knew oh yes i knew i couldnt control myself
And now they bring you back into my life again
And so i put on a face just like your friends
But i think you know oh yes you know whats going on
Cause the feelings in me oh yes in me are burning strong

Chorus

But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
Im standing upright on my own

Verse 2
You used call me up from time to time
And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line
The words of love lay on my lips just like a curse
And i knew oh yes i knew they'd only make it worse
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the mistro beats in your song
You get your kicks you get your kicks from playing me
And the less you give the more i want so foolishly

Chorus
But i will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
Im standing upright on my own...

No i will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
Im standing upright on my own

Never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
Im standing upright on my own

The First Cut Is The Deepest

I would have given you
All of my heart
But there's someone
Who's torn it apart
And she's taken
Almost all that I've got
But if you want
I'll try to love again
Baby
I'll try to love again
But I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes
To being lucky she's cursed
When it comes
To lovin' me she's worst
But when it comes
To being loved she's first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

I still want you by my side
Just to help me
Dry the tears that I've cried
Cause I'm sure
Gonna give you a try
And if you want
I'll try to love again
Oh, baby
I'll try to love again
But I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

'Cause when it comes
To being lucky she's cursed
When it comes
To lovin' me she's worst
But when it comes
To being loved she's first
That's how I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

Tomorrow

I, I
Get this creepin feelin'
That you, you might
N start believin'
That we
We aren't meant to be
So tell me
Will you always love me

Chorus:
Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
But
Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
Woooh

I, I
Get this strange rejection
Every time
I look in your direction
Tell me am I
Just imagining it
Oohh
Tell me
Will the pieces still fit

Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
Tomorrow
Will you bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
Woooh

I pray it's in my mind
I pray
I'm reading you wrong
I know these answers
Are hard to find
Please tell me
I'm wrong

Tomorrow
Will you bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
Will you change your mind
Tomorrow
Will you bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
Wooh

I, I, I
But
Tomorrow
Will bring me sorrow
Say you
Say you love me
But will
Your change your mind
Woooh

Warwick Avenue

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
Meet me by the entrance of the tube.
We can talk things over, a little time...
Promise me you won't step outta line.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
Please drop the past and be true.
Don't think we're okay, just because I'm here...
You hurt me bad, but I won't shed a tear.

I'm leaving you for the last time baby...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I've been confused outta’ my mind lately...
You think you're loving but I want to be free.
Baby you've hurt me.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
We'll spend an hour, but no more than two.
Our only chance to speak, once more...
I showed you the answers, now here's the door.

When I get to Warwick Avenue...
I'll tell you baby, that we're through.

I'm leaving you for the last time baby...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I've been confused outta’ my mind lately...
You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me.

All the days spent together, I wished for better,
But I didn't want the train to come.
Now it's departed,
I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started.
All the days spent together, when I wished for better,
And I didn't want the train to come

You think you're loving but you don't love me.
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me.
You don't love me,
I want to be free,
Baby you've hurt me.

"RAIN ON YOUR PARADE"

I wish you well
I hope you survive
I hope you live, oh baby, so I can watch you cry.

'Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back.

I'm gonna rain on your parade
No, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you.

I'm gonna rain on your parade.
No, I won't take it again.
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you.

I pity the fools who bathe in you
'Cause I know someday now, they'll see your colours too.
And if you see a smile, besides my face, no I'm doing good.
Since you've been erased.

'Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back.

I'm gonna rain on your parade.
No, I won't take it again.
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you.

I'm gonna rain on your parade.
No, I won't take it again.
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you.

I'm gonna rain on your parade.
No, I won't take it again.
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you.

I'm gonna rain on your parade.
No, I won't take it again.
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you.

I'm gonna rain on your parade.
No, I won't take it again.
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you.
