You said, "I've had my eyes on you since the year began And in six months I'm leaving town, but if it's cool, we can hang out 'til then And then we'll say goodbye and I'll depart and we can still be friends" Like I meant nothing good to you, you'll never think of me again You've been in my head lately, just about all the time And I've been going crazy trying to get you off my mind Hey, do you feel a little bad for what you put me through? Babe, have you heard of karma? I hope it gets to you Lost count of how many times I heard you say "Stay if you can be cool", should've walked away I don't think you knew the pain that I was in You said, "Stay if you can handle this", I couldn't let you win I gave the game away to you, such a big mistake You wanted me and then you told me that I'd have to wait You pushed me away, I was inclined to give you more You'd said your bed was better with me in it, that I'd have a backstage pass to your door You could have shown a little care for leaving me behind 'Cause I was going crazy trying to get you off my mind Lost count of how many times I heard you say "Stay if you can be cool", should've walked away You couldn't understand the pain that I was in You said, "Stay if you can handle this", I couldn't let you win Babe, I've been going crazy, don't know what to do Hey, have you heard of karma? I hope it gets to you Lost count of how many times I heard you say "Stay if you can be cool", should've walked away I couldn't see the situation I was in You said, "Leave if you can't handle this", I couldn't let you "Leave if you can't handle this", I couldn't let you win

Tango 03:32
Talk to me, where have you been? I've been on your tail and you've been wandering My lifeline gets thin I've been at your door but you won't let me in ​ I'm going, going You used to wait for me But I don't see you It's all so complicated Falling, falling Through all the heights of love Yet I don't hear you But you're infatuated ​ You can stop the show Because secretly, I know Remove your poker face, this is no masquerade ​Just some kind of tango ​ Answer me, some kind of reprieve You passed me and I find it hard to leave And I'm realising that the words you say Are just what I'll believe ​ I'm lying, lying I hate to think about what Happened, happened And all the time you waited Calling, calling I hear your voice again But I don't see you It's all so complicated ​ You can stop the show Because secretly, I know Remove your poker face, this is no masquerade Just some kind of tango ​ Don't think I don't know You went cold some time ago Your secret's safe with me, but I can't even see You to let you know ​ So when the lights blow there's a place I know You could go right now Where there's a floorshow, some kind of tango You'll learn to let it go ​ You can stop the show Because secretly, I know Remove your poker face, this is no masquerade Just some kind of tango You know your secret's safe, don't have to play the game You can stop the show ​ I'm going, going You used to wait for me But I don't see you It's all so complicated Falling, falling Through all the heights of love Yet I don't hear you But you're infatuated

No sign of danger, I thought we were friends I didn't see it coming, do I need to pretend? Now you know you've lost my trust Don't be a baby, I'll say it if I must ​ You should be heading home, do you really think it's fair? I'm not sure what I did to make you think I'd go there Don't try to blame this on me Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky You know that it won't be with me I hope you know that it, it won't be me ​ Don't lie, you're making this worse Ignore me all you want but I know you'll never learn Your pride is in the way You always have to win the twisted games that you play ​ I thought I made it clear I was prepared to let it go But you can't lose the game, does she know? ​ Don't try to blame this on me Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky You know that it won't be with me I hope you know that it, it won't be me ​ You'll perform some reappearing act I know that you want us to be enemies I'd rather not attack But if you won't forget this Know I can turn your mail black ​ I thought we were friends I didn't see it coming, do I need to pretend? ​ Don't try to blame this on me Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky You know that it won't be with me ​ Don't try to blame this on me Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky You know that it won't be with me You know that it won't be with me I can guarantee that it won't be me

I hear repeatedly everyone deserves a second chance I hear repeatedly that in life, love never goes to plan I wondered so many times if you felt the way I do There's still a fire deep inside my mind that burns for you ​ No expectations but I had my eyes on you Back then, I think I knew you had your eyes on me too I'll live without my heart, believe that I can be that strong I should've stopped myself, knowing you would leave me all along ​ I've told myself repeatedly we were never meant to fall in love Tried to convince myself there's nothing more than what we were I often wonder if you still think of me too, maybe you do Maybe you don't, can I live the same way? ​ We fell, you saved yourself, time for this to end When you changed your mind I said I can't go through that pain again You lied and I went cold, I tried to leave a broken heart There'll never be a chance to see this through, that's the worst part ​ I've told myself repeatedly we were never meant to find a way And now you're gone, I know I can't go back, I'll never be the same I wonder if you still think of me too ​ Wish I could stop caring, take away the pain You've got a hold on me and I'll never be the same You'll move on, you'll live the life you need I'm just hurting that it won't be with me ​ I've lived those days a thousand times, was there a point of no return? And now you're gone, don't think I ever want to fall in love again Do you still think of me too? I'll never live the same way
5.
You live in this world with your head in the clouds Before you get too high, put your feet back on the ground 'Cause you've fallen more than one step behind You've got a lot to lose I know you love someone, but you don't say who ​ Just a conversation, such innocent play Better watch your step, 'cause it's a dangerous game Try to keep it classified, but a secret's never safe Don't be colourblind or ignore the sirens, know when to walk away ​ Travel far and wide, temptation all around Living in search of thrill, find a face within the crowd Think you're always walking one step ahead You've got a lot to lose I know you love someone I know you love someone, but you don't say who ​ Just a conversation, such innocent play Better watch your step, 'cause it's a dangerous, dangerous game Try to keep it classified, but a secret's never safe Don't be colourblind or ignore the sirens, know when to walk away ​ Sleeping, shadowing, follow without a sound And when the tables turn, I'll be nowhere to be found ​ Just a conversation, such innocent play Better watch your step, 'cause it's a dangerous, dangerous game Try to keep it classified, but a secret's never safe Don't be colourblind or ignore the sirens, know when to walk away ​ You live in this world with your head in the clouds Got a lot to lose I know you love someone, but you don't say who
6.
Look at me, the thoughts are running right through my mind But sometimes it's hard to find the words to say This is you, I know you mean well, but you'll disagree One blink and you'll misread what I convey ​ You keep on saying when the silence stays You'll keep reminding me the words are safe But I can't say ​ One day, I hope you'll let this go 'Til then, I can use the only words I know We're closer to a place I wanna save Then it's erased ​ Look my way and I will never find the words to say You'd think after all this time my dues were paid I know you, you'll wrap me 'round your finger like you do I'm the fly in your web, you love the game ​ You're right behind me when I make mistakes You'll keep reminding me my words are safe But I can't say ​Then it's erased One day, I hope you'll let this go 'Til then, I can use the only words I know We're closer to a place I wanna save I may be thinking, but the night's slow It seems the only words I know Aren't closer to the words I need to say Never replace I might overturn this, but I might never learn How to mirror your need for control Believe me, what else can I say? Those words I know One day, I hope you'll let this go 'Til then, I can use the only words I know We're closer to a place I wanna save Then it's erased ​ Look at me, the thoughts are running right through my mind
7.
You're open to a midnight conversation 'Cause you don't like driving that far And I'm open to a little indecision A little love and whispers from you I'm learning about what makes you smile And I'm yearning for you to care Every day now seems longer than the other 'Til the next time you reappear So this is me wanting you again And it just seems that catching you should remain a dream 'Cause you, my love, belong on my mind I'm trying to understand your behaviour And I'm hoping to find my way through 'Cause I'm open to a little indecision A little love and kisses from you So this is me wanting you again And it just seems that catching you should remain a dream 'Cause you, my love, can see, and with you, my love is blind And it's hard to believe that you, my love, belong on my mind You, my love, belong on my mind
8.
I'm not going out Makes me think about all the things we used to do The question's on my mind Will I ever find someone who compares to you? I took a bite 'Cause every Friday night, I would come to see the show I liked your eyes on me I liked the certainty you'd be the one to take me home ​ I know we agreed you'd have to leave me But it's not that easy I'd leave for you, I know that you knew You won't say you ​ Love me once before you leave You're not coming back for me I should turn my reflection instead Now I'm back in my own bed ​ From the first day In every way, you said you had nothing to hide I saw a photograph And I had to ask if you left somebody behind You said she's just a friend So how do I comprehend her pictures in your phone? So, who is she? All you told me is there's nothing else I need to know ​ I trusted you, but did you lie to me? I wish I could see And, still, I show, don't think I didn't know You would want to ​ Love me once before you leave You're not coming back for me I should turn my reflection instead Now I'm back in my own bed ​ I know we agreed you'd have to leave me I wish it was easy And, still, I show, don't think I didn't know ​ Love me once before you leave You're not coming back for me Time to turn my reflection instead Now I'm back in my own bed
9.
You've been there and back again, all around the world The grass is greener on the other side, that's what you've always heard Say you're living in the sun, no cause for concern You believed you'd never need a reason to return ​ Feels like I'm still your girl ​ If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me (Say I should come to you) Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply (No word you'll follow through) I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me You're the one who left me ​ Dream a dream and wait around for it to materialise Then say your plans have changed for the fifteenth time Play all night and drink away, say you feel alive Give your reasons, live your life, watch it crystallise ​ Loneliness in disguise ​ If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me (Say I should come to you) Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply (No word you'll follow through) I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me You're the one who left me ​ You'll be a pretender A self-defender You'll be a pretender Will you surrender? ​ You've been there and back again, all around the world ​ If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me (Say I should come to you) Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply (No word you'll follow through) I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me You're the one who left me ​ If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me (Say you feel alive) Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply (Watch it crystallise) I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me You're the one who left me

Elegy 04:01
Bite your tongue Take me back to better days I was good for you then, won't happen again Been holding my breath just in case It's not a good sign Constantly looking for places to hide We might be attached, we're not a good match Is it leaving you broken inside? ​ There's nothing else I can do Nothing can light up this flame I've been shamefully playing the role of the heartless one Hoping that you'll walk away ​ It's a dangerous road, I tried so hard to see it through Stop questioning why, you know that I tried so hard to be with you It's time to let go, don't deny you know that it's true This isn't right, don't make me think twice I have to say goodbye to you ​ If I stayed We'd continue in this way You made your mistakes, at the end of the day There's nobody else you can blame I know there are countless mistakes I made too But there's a limit to what we can fix You wouldn't be seen in public with me Can't you see there's a problem with this? ​ I remember the last time I left your bed I walked out into the rain Knowing that for somebody, you'll be the perfect man But with me, you'll never change ​ It's a dangerous road, I tried so hard to see it through Stop questioning why, you know that I tried so hard to be with you It's time to let go, don't deny you know that it's true This isn't right, don't make me think twice I have to say goodbye to you ​ It's taken four years, all my confidence Don't you find it so strange? We were attached, but we're not a good match If leaving's a mistake then it's one I'm going to make ​ It's a dangerous road, I tried so hard to see it through Stop questioning why, you know that I tried so hard to be with you It's time to let go, don't deny you know that it's true I'm not giving up, I've just had enough I'm sorry I hope that you've seen we're not meant to be You have to say goodbye to me

Role Models 03:21
These days we're all so insecure You wanna be like us, what are you waiting for? You'll be beautiful, just not as beautiful as me Don't hesitate, I'll sell you lies for free Look around, what you see is not what you will get If you subscribe to me on the internet Buy into what we say and you'll succeed in life We have so much to share, you should take our advice We say be grateful for what you've got It doesn't take a lot to show a little love We tell them not to lie too much Just look at us We'll make the rules, never follow through It's not that hard, we've been there too We'll lead and you can follow, empty another bottle Drink the night away, such good role models Did you hear what happened on the weekend? She lost all her clothes, left alone again Don't know if it's true, but go and spread the word Just don't blame me, it's only what I heard We teach them to be tough You'll get what you want if you complain enough We tell them not to lie too much Just look at us We'll make the rules, never follow through It's not that hard, we've been there too We'll lead and you can follow, empty another bottle Drink the night away, such good role models We'll teach it right, but do it wrong Know when to put it off, and put it on We'll turn to face the problem, but deal with it tomorrow Nothing else to say, such good role models ​ We teach them to be tough You'll get what you want if you complain enough We tell them not to lie too much ​ We'll make the rules, never follow through It's not that hard, we've been there too We'll lead and you can follow, empty another bottle Drink the night away, such good role models We'll teach it right, but do it wrong Know when to put it off, and put it on We'll turn to face the problem, but deal with it tomorrow Nothing else to say, such good role models

No Evidence 03:27
We talk of collecting moments that last a lifetime And the memories that hurt us, we try to leave behind Though I wish I could forget them, I still think of him every day I've kept everything he gave me, got our photos on a profile page ​ It's all in my hands, the memories won't change ​ Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove This paper trail leaves no evidence of you ​ I deleted your number and erased your name I listened to your music until it numbed my brain I forgot your address, you never left your key Relived our conversations 'til your voice meant nothing to me ​ Nothing in my hands, you're just a memory ​ Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove This paper trail leaves no evidence of you ​ You left me nothing, there's no evidence of you ​ Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove This paper trail leaves no evidence of you Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove This paper trail leaves no evidence of you
