Mistake 03:55
You left, now you're back No guesses what I'm thinking No time to react Quicksand, I am sinking ​ That guy who just walked in I don't remember him It's clear you're no good I hope you don't see me, but I wish you would ​ Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake Did what I felt was right, I thought my decision was made Oh, baby, do you really wanna hate me? Oh, baby, do you really, really wanna chase me? Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake ​ One touch, I'm alive No, I'm not close to winning I can't say I'm surprised You've won since the beginning ​ I don't know what it is I don't remember this Do you think you could Come back some other time when you don't look so good? ​ Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake Did what I felt was right, I thought my decision was made Oh, baby, do you really wanna hate me? Oh, baby, do you really, really wanna chase me? Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake ​ Don't pretend that you don't know me Wonder what I'm worth I guess I should've known you'd show me Bring me back to earth Oh, baby, do you really wanna hate me? Oh, baby, do you really, really wanna chase me? ​ Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake Did what I felt was right, I thought my decision was made Oh, baby, do you really wanna hate me? Oh, baby, do you really, really wanna chase me? Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake

I was singing 'bout the one who left me Busy singing 'bout the one who got away I'd been told I was just cold and empty No one else could ever love all my mistakes ​ If you look around, everyone's looking down But I'm just looking at you Like a rainbow hidden in cloud 'Til I saw you looking too ​ You brought me back to life And I finally saw the light Both feet on the ground and without a sound Found out in your arms I could fly I finally understood And I never thought I would In just a blink, no wishful thinking How did I deserve a love so good? ​ There's never been a moment I have wondered Never asked myself if he feels the same In my bitterness I discovered In believing good things come to those who wait ​ Everybody's looking around But I'm just looking at you Like a diamond nobody found 'Til I saw you shining through ​ You brought me back to life And I finally saw the light Both feet on the ground and without a sound Found out in your arms I could fly I finally understood And I never thought I would In just a blink, no wishful thinking How did I deserve a love so good? How did I deserve a love so good? ​ My love is only good for you I get it now My love is only good for you I get it now ​ You brought me back to life And I finally saw the light Both feet on the ground and without a sound Found out in your arms I could fly I finally understood And I never thought I would In just a blink, no wishful thinking How did I deserve a love so good?

I should mention I'm not like you at all There's potential road to ruin to your door It's a mystery, so you'll find yourself so intrigued When you're in, I'll try to hide the dark you missed in me ​ Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily If you worry feelings change Believe we'll show each other what we never thought we'd be Once I know you, I'll wish I never knew ​ I have no objection, say you'll never leave my side At my discretion, I can leave you any time I'm the one who has nothing to lose once you're gone I'll remind you you've been in control all along ​ Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily If you worry feelings change Believe we'll show each other what we never thought we'd be Once I know you, I'll wish I never knew ​ You could be anyone You're not really lost tonight But I could be anyone Anyone you like ​ Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily ​ Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily If you worry feelings change Believe we'll show each other what we never thought we'd be Once I know you, I'll wish I never knew ​ I could be anyone

Yesterday we said goodbye Everything was fine One moment, change your life No reason to hide I won't forget the words you spoke Oh, won't you get a little close? I'd say something to give you hope But then, I'd never know ​ It's not impossible to find yourself asleep Dreaming too hard, believing it's an easy path Oh, I can't protect your heart It's not so difficult to feel so out of reach Wanting more, knowing that you gave it all ​ The sun will rise, the show will go on The deepest night covers everyone The light will fade and darken you Time goes by but you can't feel it move So impossible ​ It's like a place I've been But never seen so blue If I can't get through to you Is there nothing I can do? You have so much to give So much I wish that you could know I will never let this go ​ It's not impossible to get so lost out there Finding it strange, somehow you can make a change When you're out of here and far away It's too difficult to find yourself alone Wondering why you're happy when you're on your own ​ The sun will rise, the show will go on The deepest night covers everyone The light will fade and darken you Time goes by but you can't feel it move So impossible ​ Life will go on Just close your eyes, think how far you've come And it's just begun The sun will rise, uncover you Sometime soon you will see it through So impossible

Stand Alone 03:56
I've been lost in my own reflection without seeing myself I've tried to follow the right direction behind everyone else I've let fear get the best of me, been fine in closing the door I've loved, hoping to please somebody, thinking there couldn't be more ​ My thoughts hidden in the crowd But I'm coming around ​ In my life, there's a place I need to find I can rise by mistake or by design Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind Take control Stand alone, stand alone ​ I've lived, thinking I knew the answers without seeing the world I walked away from so many chances, missing how much I could learn ​ My thoughts hidden in the crowd But I'm coming around ​ In my life, there's a place I need to find I can rise by mistake or by design Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind Take control Stand alone, stand alone ​ I always knew it, never thought I'd do it Time to take my own advice Not enough to think it, gonna have to risk it Heard it said a thousand times ​ In my life, there's a place I need to find I can rise by mistake or by design Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind Take control ​ In my life, there's a place I need to find I can rise by mistake or by design Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind Take control Stand alone (there's a place I need to find) Stand alone (by mistake or by design) Stand alone (there's a place I need to find) Stand alone (by mistake or by design) Stand alone

Heatwave 03:45
Tonight you'll be my entertainment Got no idea who you are You'll know exactly what I'm chasing It's just a game, so play your part ​ I've never seen your face Get lost in my embrace ​ Don't care what you wanna know, make the rhythm flow Don't let go, got my eye on you Don't hear what you gotta say, let the music play There's no escaping this heatwave Heatwave, heatwave ​ Tonight it's just as well we're strangers It's good I don't know your name With you I wanna taste the danger Wanna bring you closer to the flame ​ We're running out of time Wanna make you mine tonight ​ Don't care what you wanna know, make the rhythm flow Don't let go, got my eye on you Don't hear what you gotta say, let the music play There's no escaping this heatwave Heatwave, heatwave ​ Got my eye on you, got my eye on you Got my eye on you, got my eye on you ​ Don't care what you wanna know, make the rhythm flow Don't let go, got my eye on you Don't hear what you gotta say, let the music play There's no escaping this heatwave Heatwave, heatwave ​ Tonight you'll be my entertainment Got no idea who you are Tonight it's just as well we're strangers It's good I don't know your name

You could turn the lights out, you could close the door You could say things about me, I don't care any more You don't have to like me, you don't have to pretend you do I've swum with the sharks now, found my way out of the pool ​ Learned to lock you out You can't let me down ​ I woke up to a sound rising from the underground Out of the dark, out of the dark I'm always on the run, heart beating like a drum I will leave my mark ​ You could be unsupportive, not turn up to my show I've heard all the excuses, don't even want to know You could be jealously crazy while you pose as a friend You should be happy for me or you could pretend ​ I woke up to a sound rising from the underground Out of the dark, out of the dark I'm always on the run, heart beating like a drum I will leave my mark Close your eyes, but don't deny me my part I woke up to a sound rising from the underground Out of the dark ​ Free to be ignored I don't ask any more ​ I woke up to a sound rising from the underground Out of the dark, out of the dark I'm always on the run, heart beating like a drum I will leave my mark Close your eyes, but don't deny me my part I woke up to a sound rising from the underground Out of the dark

Paper Door 03:26
Do you remember when the two of you met? You said you didn't wanna get involved But soon enough, you lost your common sense Thinking you're the one who's in control ​ All our words become invisible We'll trust him to be predictable ​ Cut out your paper stars, stick them on your wall And soon he'll turn up at your paper door He will say and say he's here to stay But he will walk away because he could before Because he could before ​ Do you remember the first time he left Only to turn around and change his mind? Refill your heart with his promises Convince yourself it will be different this time ​ Justify it's in the circumstance He deserves another second chance ​ Cut out your paper stars, stick them on your wall And soon he'll turn up at your paper door He will say and say he's here to stay But he will walk away because he could before Tear up your paper dreams, watch the pieces fall Wait for him to pull you from the floor He will cry and cry he's here to fight But only for tonight just because he could before ​ Keep you dreaming 'bout tomorrow (you know, you know) Keep you believing what you wanna (I know, I know) Time to move on, time to move on Take back your love, take back your love ​ Tear up your paper dreams, watch the pieces fall Wait for him to pull you from the floor Question why and why he has to lie But he won't have a reply, just always leave you wanting more Cut out your paper stars, stick them on your wall And soon he'll turn up at your paper door He will say and say he's here to stay But he will walk away because he could before ​ He'll return again, walk through your paper door

I've heard it all happens for a reason, it's been on my mind Been told it's meant to be like this too many times And I was in the orbit when the stars aligned Somehow I found someone of a different kind ​ So out of the blue, like a dream I never knew And suddenly it was easy ​ It all makes sense to me now There's a place we never could have found Without each other Oh, I know this now ​ Been told you gotta stop looking and you're on track Always in direction of the right path I was lost in darkness, in the gravity Somehow I found someone who mirrored me ​ Every moment I shared there was silence in the air And nothing I'd do ever saved me ​ It all makes sense to me now There's a place we never could have found Without each other Oh, I know this now It all makes sense to me now It's enough to follow me around It was meant to happen Oh, I know this now It was meant to happen Oh, I know this now ​ I know this now ​ It all makes sense to me now There's a place we never could have found Without each other Oh, I know this now It all makes sense to me now It's enough to follow me around It was meant to happen Oh, I know this now

You're the one who left me You're the one who left me You're the one who left me 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 You admit you hurt me You admit you hurt me deeply You admit you hurt me You admit you hurt me deeply ​ 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're the one who left me You're the one who left me You're the one who 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're the one who left me You're the one who left me You're the one who left me You're the one who left me ​ 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 You're the one who left me You're the one who left me You're the one who left me You're the one who left me
