Beaumont

in my bones
it shakes me on the phone
friends shine down like stars
i need to know i'm home
my smile is false
and plays with my skin
this situation, i don't want to be in

then it came
finding you
never felt the same
walking through
happiness flickers like a flame

hold on a while longer
and shade in all the doubt
tales just get taller
i will not go without...

then it came
finding you
never felt the same
walking through
happiness flickers like a flame...

you caught me out today
I was looking the other way
I tried to look back and re-trace my gaze
but knew it was all too late

you can't take the hat
you can't bring up love
when we're in this state

you caught me out today
I was looking the other way
I daren't speak
as the words would make off
with another day

you can't take the hate
we can't bring up love when
we're in this state

hands pulled away
hands feel so cold on such a warm, warm day...

you caught me out today
i was looking the other way...

all the time we spend so fruitless
and the loneliness kills and spills
into the next day...

but next to nothing, you're something
next to nothing, you're all i need

i feel like i'm drowning
but i'm washing my hair
such a conversation killer
but i'm glad that you're there

but next to nothing, you're something
next to nothing, you're all i need

closer closer
we can get there
only a few more hearts to break
only the pressure and the wait

closer closer
as it slowly digs into our hands
but we can't let go
when it's not planned

so you walk
and i'll stay
we're only here
just wish the walls would give way

closer closer
we can get there
only a few more hearts to break
only the pressure and the wait

closer closer
as it slowly digs into our hands
but we can't let go
when it's not planned

so you walk
and i'll stay
we're only here
just wish the walls would give way

the sound now
so clear in my ear
alarm bells just when we thought they'd disappeared

when you've seen the light
and it's blinded you
you know what's right
and what's wrong for you

so don't count the days
it will never come
save your time
he's not the one

the sun will set
on another love
stop the beating now
and trust above

these are the desperate times
but no need to rush
why pursue the chase
when you've had enough?

you could hear a pin drop
in my life right now

heartfelt, you came
down to my knees i fell
gorgeous to the very core
and i'm wanting more

all these good intentions
left to fend for themselves

heartfelt, you came
down to my knees i fell
gorgeous to the very core
and i'm wanting more

so little to show
no time left to know
frame by frame, your name
blackens in the shade

so you wish on crooked stars
and who you wrap around your heart
might just go off course for a while
but i won't go far...

and as i lick my wounds
and cower in the gloom
the only colour i see
are the red, red petals over me
