Snow In April

No I will not forget the day
When you finally stopped
When you finally stopped running
You'd been hiding from this place
And all the vanishing years,
Oh the vanishing years oh how they fall
You'd been watching the race
With your heart set in flames
And how you called
And I answered
Do you remember how we stood
For the longest time, under the greyest sky
Said all the things we knew we should
And the clocks stopped ticking
And the world stopping turning
I was reeling
I was reaching around just to find up and down
Was I even breathing
When you touched my face and said
Sorry for making me wait
And if I had known better I'd have told you
Better never than late
What were you trying to prove?
You gave me so much to lose
So when I break
It's along familiar cracks that had finally been
Put back together
How I wanted it
How I wanted it to last forever
Did you know that was goodbye
When you opened your heart
Told me "this is the start"
Did you know you wouldn't try
That you would give me a day
Before you took it away
Because you threw my world off track
And all the scenery changed
Like it was snowing in April
But it melted just as fast
You might as well have been rain
I should have told you
Better never than late
We were better apart
With the pieces of my heart kept away
Do you know what you did
You were snow in April
Do you know what you did to me
It was snowing in April
Do you know what you did to me?

The Fall
03:42

I am a storm
I am the sudden thunder
And the rush you feel in your soul
You lost control
You watched in quiet panic
While the story slipped through your hold
So you weave the words around
But you know you're going down in flames
So can take your time
Brace yourself for the collide
And my voice will shake
And my words will break your world
From the moment that this fire began
You never stood a chance at all
'Cause there's a beauty in the fall
There's a beauty in the fall
You should have known
You should have changed your mind
Before you ever decided to show
I've changed as well
I've made my own improvements
And I'm set on you, yes I'm set on you
So you can run and run and run
'Cause I'm in it for the fun
If you think that this is done
Boy, it's hardly just begun
And my voice will shake
And my words will break your world
From the moment that this fire began
You never stood a chance at all
I will drive you to the ground
I will drive you to the ground

In a haze
Stretching months, stretching years
I was weak in the knees for you
Call it love, call it awe, all over
I need you, I feel you
But you never looked twice
For a time I could not even look
Because it hurt knowing you weren't for me
Like a man, colorblind in a rainbow world
If only
If only you'd forget I was me
You'd forget I was me
When I pulled up the nerve to say hi
You seemed kind
You seemed right for me
But it's not
In myself
To be brazen
He's perfect, he's perfect
How could I ever want to break that
How could I ever want to take that
How could I ever be for you
But somehow it worked out
We began saying hi, saying more
Till that day
I confessed, you confessed, and so on
I loved you, I loved you
Such a beauty had the world
Such a wonder had life
Such a beauty had the world
Such a wonder had life
Now you're gone
Over land, over seas
And I find that sometimes I go
Catch a plane in my sleep to find you
He's older
I'm older
How'd the world change so much
How'd the world change so much
How'd the world change so much
How'd the world
How'd the world changes fast/first

Fool
04:07

Some might think I’ve nothing to say
Like an ordinary girl
Head down, letting you all have the way
That you want
Come night, I study the hundreds of days
That I’ve let demolish me
Sometimes it’s hard to pity a fool
A fool like me
This time, something has broken my heart
And it’s unforgivable
Right through my skin and bones
This might be my mind trying to say
That it’s tired of lying to me
To console this fool
The fool I’ve been
And how many times have I said
“Tonight, tonight’s the night?”
And how many times can a life break down
Before it stops a final time
And how do I know if this is just my show-light
Bringing me down because I like the fight and the blues?
A fool can’t fool herself
One might think I’ve nothing to say
And climb all over me
One day, I’ll find it in me to do something
You might never know how I feel
And that’s how I wanna be
And I’ll watch you leave
A fool like me
And how many times have I said
“Tonight, tonight’s the final night?”
And how many times can a life break down
Before it stops a final time
And how do I know if this is just my show-light
Bringing me down because I like the fight and the blues?
A fool can’t fool herself

Starlight In Your Room

Starlight in your room
The clothes and clockwork strewn
Across the weary floor and bed and darkness
I feel my way around
I grip your hand, no sound
You rest your head on mine
And make no argument
Because love cannot save us now
It's here to make it's vows in silence
Then it lets us down
We're stripped to something we
Had never thought we'd be
Inside this world we're torn apart
Nearly 3 a.m
I'm sinking deeper in
The shadows pass across your face
So heartless
Neither one moving
I'm guessing what you think
It's harder when you don't look up
From darkness
But love cannot save us now
It's here to make it's vows in silence
Then it lets us down
We're stripped to something we
Had never thought we'd be
Inside this world we're torn apart
This could be my life
A lifetime in this night
The starlight gives us something to hold onto
But I know we can't lie
Tomorrow is goodbye
This moment and this feeling
Will be gone too
