The moment that I write this song It's like admitting you're gone And that you don't belong to me anymore In a single moment it seems My plans have exploded at the seams Now that I don't belong to you anymore With each line I guess I'll start to heal But I don't wanna write this song Not ready to move on from a pain whose wholeness I am just starting to feel From the moment that you told me Up in your bed in your room that morning A bed that was mine too for a time, for and from those moments I'm still mourning And as I get further on, through this song, line by line I cry a little bit less each time Slowly accepting the fact that you're no longer mine And I don't believe you when you say That you don't love me anymore And I can't believe that you'd just ride away Leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying And I know I know I know I know I know I know I know That I have to let you go But I'm not ready, Not ready to let you go If you want to I can't stop you But baby Please don't go I'm not exactly doing fine But i'm much better than I thought I'd be Maybe I learned how to hide my emotions from you You can be cold and hard-lined You bottle up everything inside So many bottles baby you better not fall over But you were so sweet and kind Your arms are still open wide You're still holding my hand You're still by my side And I can't do this, I can't do it I think you still love me, I don't believe you, I won't believe you but then you tell me that you wanna be with someone new And while I'm on about this, Let me apologise for that last stolen kiss You were so drunk but it was too good to miss Baby, no wait, I can't call you that anymore At least I can still call you that's better than not seeing you at all maybe You're so stubborn I know I can't push you But I don't want to lose you Dude, let me tell you, friends aren't supposed to get as friendly as you do And I don't believe you when you say That you don't love me anymore And I can't believe that you'd just ride away Leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying And I know I know I know I know I know I know I know That I have to let you go But I'm not ready, Not ready to let you go If you want to I can't stop you But baby Please don't go The moment that I write this song It means it's all gone wrong The moment has gone The moment, the moment has passed I thought it would last I wish I'd learned how to write about happiness while I still had the chance And as I get further on, through this song, line by line I cry a little bit less each time Slowly accepting the fact that you're no longer mine And I don't believe you when you say That you don't love me anymore And I can't believe that you'd just ride away Leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying And I know I know I know I know I know I know know Yeah I know I know I know I know I know I know I noticed that While you left me somehow You're still holding my hand You're still dancing with me And it helps to think that we Still have things to laugh and skip about Thank you for giving me something so beautiful It hurts this much to live without Baby Please don't go

Holes 02:39
I have holes in me and if you look carefully enough you'll see my scars They take forever to heal coz everytime that I see you it starts to peel away And every word that you should say but don't is just killing me This pain it burns then scars then peels from a feeling that you could never feel From a feeling you could never feel And I, I've got nothing left to write about anymore I've got nothing left to live for Now that all's been said and done Now that you're gone, now that you're gone Now that you're gone You're gone for good In 5 years time you'll be on my mind I know I have a slight problem with letting go But you were something that I expected to have my whole life You just got up to leave and now my heart is like a sieve Coz all the memories of you that just won't go Are burning little holes all over my body And I, I've got nothing left to write about anymore I've got nothing left to live for Now that all's been said and done Now that you're gone, now that you're gone Now that you're gone You're gone for good I never wanted anything more than just to be there for you I never thought that it would end like this thought it would always be us two I never asked for anything more than just for you to stay I never dreamed that something that meant so much could ever end up this way, I'm so in pain I've moved on and on and on and on and on But I've never let go of this love

I'm leaving tomorrow haven't you heard But I'm still waiting to hear a word from you I'm leaving tomorrow to see the world But I still wanted to share my world with you I know we're not always around enough to show we care But when it's important we both know we'll be there But this time it looks like you're not gonna show I hope you come before I go I'm leaving tomorrow and you haven't said goodbye I'll wait a bit longer coz I'm still hoping you'll try I'm leaving tomorrow I'm not gonna remind you again It's up to you, it's up to you now To see me before the end Actually I'm quite sick of always looking over my shoulder To see if you are following behind I've had enough; don't think you're someone I still want to know If you don't come before I go Eventually you start to see that words don't mean a thing Especially when someone can't get off their ass to bring A smile to your face and tell you they have a place for you In their heart for you I'm leaving tomorrow haven't you heard But I'm still waiting to hear a word from you I'm leaving tomorrow to see the world But I still wanted to share my world with you I know we're not always around enough to show we care But when it's important we both know i'll be there But this time it looks like you're not gonna show Coz you're not here and now I have to go

Leigh's Song 03:34
Sometimes I am even asking myself, 'Are we? Are we really allowed to do this? Are we really allowed to have so much fun?' I'm 21 and I'm still waiting for Mum To come running into the room yelling, 'Put your panties back on love' We can stay in all day And begin to play I can show you the way to my door We can play all day and then you go and touch me In a way that I've never been touched before It's so easy even though I got mad at you last week It's so easy because with you I can speak about anything In your room you gave me some space for my clothes I put in my heart and now I call you home You're nice to my family and you didn't mind When Tyrone chewed through your 75 dollar headphones That one time I see you in the morning I see you in the afternoon I see you at night but it seems to end so soon I wish the night was longer so that I could spend more of my time Lying here with you It's so easy even though I got mad at you this week It's so easy because with you I can speak about anything Now I have moved in back home with my parents Your brother is sick of it, can only come round 2 days a week I miss you, I miss you being my home and the way you make me feel Whenever we are alone. And I know I shouldn't be upset With only seeing you 2 days a week But I'm going crazy only getting some 2 days a week I wish the night was longer so that I could spend more of my time Lying here with you

Track 47 03:27
How is fair that you don't care enough to see if I'm ok? How is fair that you don't care enough to say sorry? But I won't despair coz I know in some part of your heart The memory of us will always be there Do you know how it feels to mean nothing to someone who is the basis of your every thought and dream, it's harder than it seems God I'm so sick of this obsession 46 songs, this'll be 47 And all of these songs through all of these years Have done nothing to take away my tears They've done nothing to make you remember And nothing to help me forget When I die I hope that you grieve for me Like I grieved for you, I hope that you bleed for me too When I die I hope you can't sleep because of me Like I could never sleep because of you And can't you hear? I'm singing bout the same damn thing Can't you hear? I'm singing bout the same damn thing Can't you hear? Or are you as sick of hearing about him as I am? You can't hear These voices in my head Reminding me of his name with every single breathe I hope they play this song everywhere Till you can't get me out of your head

My Mouth 04:58
I'm so unbelievably angry It's an old line but, 'How could you do this to me?' For 2 years we were as close as friends and family And then randomly you decide to leave It seems like it's not enough for you just to break my heart You also wanna break my spirit Keep playing these stupid games like I'm still in it with a chance to win you back And see I thought you were different from all the rest But now I see that it was only that you were the best so far Not such a proud title to possess thus far, might I add. See just like them you've turned something meaningful Into something shit But you still hold my hand and play with my hair But you won't kiss my mouth It's like you're scared of it Is there something wrong with my mouth? Yeah, yeah wrong with my mouth? And tumbling from my lips are melodies of my truths I won't hold back from you I'm saying what I have to say if only to Get this out of my heart to some other place on this page You're right to be afraid, I should probably come with a warning To heal my sores through these songs My mouth is gonna have to document this pain you have caused See I can hold my tongue back from causing pain or abuse If I feel there is no use But I gotta say It's time to be a man and stick with what you planned Don't wanna hear later that you regret what you'll lose That won't be an excuse Coz if it's not my words you're afraid of, but my love, then you are a fool Though the taste of you may linger on my lips and my teeth I can't wait for you forever Is there something wrong with my mouth? Yeah, yeah wrong with my mouth? Tumbling from your lips are words that are Pushing away everyone that you love Pushing away every single thing that you love Coz you're scared that one day it will all get old But we all get old one day Maybe one day when you're older You'd wish you'd done things in a different way Coz you write things up to experience I write them down with love A tale by a guitar string pulls my heart strings In a way I'm not afraid of When a song a starts to mean something You'll say it's been overplayed But you are just afraid You are just afraid Is there something wrong with my mouth? Yeah, yeah wrong with my mouth?
