JAMES MORRISON: BROKEN STRINGS

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you,
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking,
It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late

Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell something that ain't real

Well the truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late (too late)

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I cant tell you something that ain't real

Well truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again

KRIS ALLEN: OUT ALIVE (ACOUSTIC)

This city's gonna break your heart
It's gonna leave you colder
Bright light's tearing us apart
It's gonna hurt all over

Honestly I'm better off lonely
Promises are just pretend
God help this face I'm wearin'
God help this skin

We can run
We can hide
We can show off our guns and put on a fight
If it's love
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Maybe we'll make it out alive
Maybe we'll make it

I'm searching for the sound of your heartbeat
I'm looking for a sign of life
And I can hear it fading out
Lost my streght
When you lost your fight

Honestly you're better off lonely
Promises are just pretend
God help this faith I'm wearin'
God help this place

We can run
We can hide
We can show off our guns and put on a fight
If it's love
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Maybe we'll make it out alive
Maybe we'll make it

There's gonna be thousand ways that we could break it
There'll never be an easy way so I'll just say it
Cause I know that it is not over
No matter how hard we try
Now I'm begging for the chance to make it right
Cause you've got the best of me
And you'll be the death of me

We can run
We can hide
We can show off our guns and put on a fight
If it's love
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Maybe we'll make it out alive
Maybe we'll make it out alive

(We can run, we can hide oh baby we'll make it out alive)

SUSANNA HOFFS: WEAK WITH LOVE

December eighth in nineteen-eighty

I was home on avondale

Boys were playin' basketball

When the news came in.

And I heard my brother say "oh my god!"

I said "what's the matter jesse? "

He said "i don't wanna tell you this"

And he would not meet my eyes.

Please comfort me

And shelter me

I am weak with love

Comfort me

And shelter me

I am weak with love

The policeman laid him in the police car

He was shot and bleeding

Then he said "are you john lennon? "

John couldn't speak but he nodded "yeah".

And I heard my brother say "oh my god!"

I said "what's the matter jesse? "

He said "i don't wanna tell you this"

So he took me for a drive.

Please comfort me

And shelter me

For I am weak with love

Comfort me

And shelter me

Well I am weak with love

Love love love.

ELLIE GOULDING: LIGHTS

I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone

Home

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home

Yeah, hee

Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

BEN HOWARD: ONLY LOVE

Darling you're with me, always around me.
Only love, only love.
Darling I feel you, under my body.
Only love, only love.
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, Come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

And I'll be yours to keep.

Darling you're with me, always around me.
Only love, only love.
Darling I feel you, under my body.
Only love, only love.
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, Come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

And I'll be yours to keep.

JOHN MAYER: I'M GONNA FIND ANOTHER YOU (ACOUSTIC)

JILL SOBULE: SOLDIER OF CHRIST

PAULA COLE: MISSISSIPPI

KRIS ALLEN: THE VISION OF LOVE (ACOUSTIC)

Wake up if you believe
Love is not a fading dream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Who feels this way right now

Lonely needs a friend
Ask him where he's been
You could be the Light that comes
And turns his world around

I don't wanna run, I don't wanna hide
When someone needs somebody
I don't wanna say, I don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear crawls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

Singing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Make-up hides her face
Cos she feels out of place
She cries
Come on someone tell this girl she's beautiful
We don't gotta run, we don't gotta hide

When someone needs somebody
We don't need to say, we don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong
When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear crawls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

Singing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(C'mon)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let's stand up
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Let's stand
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Let's stand for the vision
Stand for the vision of love

Wake up
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Wake up
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Wake up if you believe

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

HAWK NELSON: I STILL MISS YOU

There she was, 5'3 a picture of my mother's mother
She showed me love, and all the ways of God
Her final days were spent in bed where she passed away
I won't forget her smiling face when she left us that night

But I still miss you
All the times we spent together
To hear you talk about the weather
I always prayed you'd get well soon
I wish my prayers came true
I know Jesus has the answer
And He's way bigger than the cancer in you
But I still miss you

If dreams came true, just one more chance to talk to you
And thank you for the time you spent teaching me the truth
A boy back then, I've grown up, now I'm a man
I can finally understand the things you said to me

But I still miss you
All the times we spent together
To hear you talk about the weather
I always prayed you'd get well soon
I wish my prayers came true
I know Jesus has the answer
And He's way bigger than the cancer in you
But I still miss you

I need some help to carry on
I need some strength to keep me strong...

LISA LOEB: SANDALWOOD

She can't tell me that all of the love songs have been written,
'Cause she's never been in love with you before.

Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood.
Your hair falls soft like animals.
I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone here likes you.

I want to kiss the back of your neck,
The top of your spine where your hair hits, and gnaw on your fingertips and fall asleep,
I'll talk you to sleep.

But I'll be the one, I will have chosen.

I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone here likes you, I'm not the only one.

Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood.
You hair falls soft like animals,
And nothing else matters to me.

She can't tell me that all of the love songs have been written,
'Cause she's never been in love with you before.

Your hand,
So hot,
Burns a hole in
My hand.
I wanted to show you.

THE BOY WHO TRAPPED THE SUN: COPPER DOWN

This ship's gone and run its course
Through a tired lack of force
And all that matters branded on your arm
So you don't forget how we first met
Suddenly I have this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look to watch the clouds for my last breath
When you grow into you skin
I'll be the hope joining the wall
And all the scraps of world joined at the hand
Are there to hold you in our secret plan
Suddenly I have this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look to watch the clouds for comfort
Fill in the blanks
Suddenly I hate this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look to watch the clouds for comfort
I hope I don't let anyone die
Fill in the blanks

EVERY AVENUE: BETWEEN YOU AND I

Would you believe me if I said I was sorry
The question wasn't mean to hurt,
It was just my fear of losing you.
And now you're filling all the space that surrounds you
I'll soon be tucked away underneath your bed
Where you gave yourself to me.
Where I gave myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

Maybe it was wrong of me to think I could keep you
And maybe it's the last few drinks
Taking over my mouth and all I've been thinking
I want you to know that I am fine here without you
But I can't bring myself to lie to you.
And since we're being honest, I feel I should tell you
I've been filling up the empty space between you and I

Between you and I, she could never compare to you
Between you and I, I still keep your pictures underneath my bed
Where she gives herself to me.
Where I give myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place, oh...

Yeah...

Maybe it's all for the best,
I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
Yeah the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

NATALIE WALKER: WAKING DREAM

Pinch me
Is this real
This feeling of release
I’m floating in your heaven
In the corners of my dreams

Tasting life
Numb again
Close my eyes
It begins…

I cannot stumble here
I am safe inside my head
When I wake up Ill forget
I’ll come back to my mess

I will not leave
Stay asleep
Slip further in
My ecstasy

Safe inside my mind I hide…

ADELE: ONE AND ONLY

You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day,
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows
Why it's taken me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all,
You never know if you never try
To forgive your past and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts

I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time at the mention of my name
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close?
And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared 'cause I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try
To forgive your past and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart

(Nobody's perfect, trust me I've learned it)
I know it ain't easy, giving up your heart
(Nobody's perfect, trust me I've learned it)
I know it ain't easy, giving up your heart

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart

So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts
Come on and give me a chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk that mile until the end starts.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE: CANCER

Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me
In all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you.

Now turn away,
Cause I’m awful just to see
Cause all my hair’s abandoned off my body,
Oh my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I’m just soggy from the chemo,
But counting down the days to go.
It just ain’t living
And I just hope you know,

That if you say,
Good-bye today,
I’d ask you to be true,
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you…

Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you…

AMY WINEHOUSE: WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW?

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
And you say that I'm the only one, the only one, yeah
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning star?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, cause I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Yeah

JEWEL: I LOVE YOU FOREVER

You and I walking slowly
Hand in hand
Footprints in the sand
Watch the wind as it plays
Throwing shadows across your face
The sky was so blue
Your eyes so green
The air glittering
So sudden, so swift
Love came to us
Just like a gift
I lived here, you lived far away
Our lives called us back, no we could not stay
With a sad sort of smile you took my hand
Said while we're apart you hope I understand that...

[Chorus:]
You'll be holding me
And I'll be holding you
Through those long nights
My love will be pulling you through
When you see the stars
Pretend they're my arms
When you feel the air
That is me kissing you there
Say you love me
And I will say I love you
No distance could ever make that untrue
When I'm far away
I'll reach through time and space
When you hear the wind
You'll hear me saying
I love you forever

Fast forward our love story
I still remember that day
Her small precious face
You stared into her eyes
Hypnotized by her smile
But your job meant you had to travel
But we weren't ready for you to go
You held our daughter with a sad sort of smile
Said while we're apart I want you to know that...

[Repeat Chorus]

God forbid there'll come a day
When the light in my eyes fades away
But from your hearts I will not go
No bounds shall my spirit know, cause

[Repeat Chorus 2x]
