Let winter break Love let it burn what did you do to me until I see you again my only hope is to let life stretch out before me I will be here with you and break me just like I told you I would on this lonely road I’d love to always love you I’m made of many things but but I’m scared of loneliness I’m not what you are made of when I’m when I’m alone with you Only now do I see the Big Picture but I swear these scars are fine I know it’s hard only you could have hurt me in this only you and I perfect way tonight is it all for me I might be blind but you taught me the difference because I know it’s all for you between mistakes and what you just meant for me and I guess, I guess it is don’t say you ever loved me hell don’t say you ever cared And you are the my darkest friend only thing I’ve ever truly known words so I hesitate have you forgotten if I can’t act the same for you all the lies you left there so fresh then my darling I’ll be rooting for you turning old in the air then my darling I’ll be rooting for you and now you have no weapons you can try to get close to those I love and where did she go do you really think they truth left us long ago don’t know what you’re made of and I need her tonight because I’m scared chorus repeat. of loneliness with you baby and I should let it go but all that it is left is my perspective broken and so left behind again

9 who am i 10 leave the war with me

There is life in the dark fair game go on and drop your head so small but there you are fairness gone and make you lose mine hand in hand this life you are losing love all over again something I can’t understand but it’s my way, til the end of time Endless thoughts they get ahead Blue against my better sense less dread when I drop my head I am trying my best fear go and let me lose mine To fit in with the rest I’m losing love all over again but it’s my way til the end of time Who am I, Who am I To want you now you’re leaving and where do we go and I’m leaning towards losing my mind, with this feeling no more Who am I, Who am I, Who am I better leave that war with me To judge you now you’re leaving better leave that war with me better leave that war with me Who am I, Who am I, Who am I better leave that war with me

Oh my love in the dark fair trials they don’t exist my friend Be close but miles apart only a circus in my mind And I am trying my best judgements gone and there’s no love again To fit in with the rest but it’s my way til the end of time

and where do we go and I’m leaning towards losing my mind, and I’m feeling no more better leave that war with me better leave that war with me better leave that war with me better leave that war with me 11 truth is a beautiful thing 12 What a day

miles and miles on my own Throw it over warm with shame I follow on What A Day a language to find hard to hear Where not to understand just disappear What A Day Say You will not wait to hold your heart, to hold your hand What A Life would be to me the greatest thing But your love can be that way

to hold your heart, to hold your hand What a day would be to me the bravest thing What a life What a waste could you take my place and stand here What a life I do not think you could take this pain You’d be on your knees and You stilL show me struggle under the weight It makes me wonder Oh the truth would be a beautiful thing Street lights from when I was younger Oh the truth is a beautiful thing I heard you keep on running I heard you keep on coming but I wear another thought of you With so much harm my gift to you Here comes the rain and thunder Hide you somewhere they don’t know Here comes the blues you wonder Deep in my core you know you have a throne

to hold your heart, to hold your hand would be to me the greatest thing

to hold your heart, to hold your hand would be to me the bravest thing

could you take my place and stand here I do not think you could take this pain You’d be on your knees and struggle under the weight Oh the truth would be a beautiful thing Oh the truth is a beautiful thing 13 different breeds 14 control

There are so many different breeds here Oooh,And I Know I just need to find one that fits Oooh,And I know I know I don’t show it but I’m glad you came here And I guess that’s control I know I don’t show it Forgetting your name but I’m glad you came And I guess that’s control Is knowing your place Send me in circles across the plains here One long line through America Lets watch the earth fall apart I know I don’t show it That beautiful decay but I’m glad you came here Bring your words and bring you art I know I don’t show it but I’m glad you came All of these words we say

You know I’m glad you came Lets put something magical Understand it’s a lonely game So special in a day Waiting on you But you’re taking your time again And I guess that’s control You know I’m glad you came It is forgetting your name

Guess I was born with the wrong tongue here I am not organic no In the wrong place and at the wrong time I was hardwired this way Raised palms, raised faces at me Perfect sound doesn’t cut it no It’s not a lot just short circuit vanity So don’t ask me to change I know I don’t show it Hard bright light mechanical but I’m glad you came here Together on an empty stage I know I don’t show it but I’m glad you came Bring your life and your hope Your thoughts and all your brain You know I’m glad you came Understand it’s a lonely game Lets put something magical Waiting on you So special in a day But you’re taking your time again You know I’m glad you came And I guess that’s control It is forgetting your name I’m glad you came And I guess that’s control And I guess that’s control 15 trials (demo) 16 may the best (church mix)

Behind it all I really hate the way you cold call me There is ordinary life I hate the way your voice it travels seas but would you want me So take the god out of your stare for me standing in the same light Cause I don’t see him standing there in front of me I wasn’t wary of trouble when it was under my skin Don’t stop what you’re doing just love me They didn’t make aware Kind man in the light of all of those things Don’t stop these things in the deepest and darkest night And they were your words So don’t leave them on their own May the best of you ring true You should stand by them May the best of me be enough to keep you Build them a throne I’m already losing you And if you want me I’m already losing you Then have me maybe I will build you the happiest home I really love the way you saw me You picked me up and you carried me When I’m with you I’m not alone She took the god out of your stare for me I still believe I might not be enough Kind hands make simple work you see Hey, Trials they make you what you are But it goes against the grain Don’t stop what you’re doing just love me All of those things I’ve seen you’re not Kind man in the light Don’t stop these things And it is about the ordinary life in the deepest and darkest night but would you want me standing in the same light May the best of you ring true Well I wasn’t wary of trouble May the best of me be enough to keep you when it’s under my skin I’m already losing you They never made me aware I’m already losing you of all of those things I’m already losing you

And if you want me May the best of me be enough to keep you so don’t leave them on their own May the best of you ring true you should stand by them May the best of me be enough to keep you Build them a throne May the best of you ring true And if you want me I’m already losing you Then have me maybe I will build you the happiest home

When I’m with you I’m not alone I still believe I might not be enough Hey, Trials they make you what you are But it goes against the grain All of those things I’ve seen you’re not

When I’m with you I’m not alone I stilL believe I might not be enough Hey, Trials they make you what you are And it goes against the grain All of those things I’ve seen you’re not credits
