Interlude

Yeah I've got a bitter taste in my mouth, Something I need to say, But even though I try I just can't spit it out, You know how some things just get in the way. But I try, I really try to be a man, Yeah I, I really try to do all I can, So I've, Laid out my perfect plan, When I, Bring it all crashing down, Tonight. Yeah there's a fire, That's gonna burn this whole place down, This fire burning inside, But I'll keep on, Yeah I'll keep on singing out loud, Instead of waiting to die. But I try, I really try to be a man, Yeah I, I really try to do all I can, So I've, Laid out my perfect plan, When I, Bring it all crashing down, Tonight.

This is the end of a tale that begins with happy ever after, It's not a happy ending but it looks like we saved ourselves from disaster, If it were up to me I'd have you here in my arms, But it's not up to me is it? It's all down to your broken heart. 'Cause I'm not gonna try to stop you from walking away, If all you're gonna do is take all my love and spit it back in my face, I'm not gonna try to stop you from feeling this way, 'Cause by the looks of your cold heart you don't care anyway. This is the start of a tale that begins with tears pouring down your face, 'Cause even though we knew that we shouldn't we did it anyway, If it were up to me I'd have you here in my arms, But it's not up to me is it? It's all down to your broken heart. 'Cause I'm not gonna try to stop you from walking away, If all you're gonna do is take all my love and spit it back in my face, I'm not gonna try to stop you from feeling this way, 'Cause by the looks of your cold heart you don't care anyway.

I bet you never saw that one coming I'm left confused by your level of surprise, I bet you thought I didn't have the guts to do it, But I burnt a hole straight through your lies, So don't turn around and try to shift the blame, 'Cause to me you're all just memories and ghosts, And it makes me sick to even speak your name, Where were my friends when I needed you most? You don't have to, Pretend that you care, That you've really messed up everything this time, 'Cause what we once had, Is no longer there, 'Cause you've really messed up everything this time. The worst part is that I knew it all along, I just trusted you too much, And spent every night praying that I was wrong, And that you'd never stitch me up, But I guess it goes to show, You can't trust anyone you know, Not to stab you in the back because it suits them, But how was I to know, That the people I held close, Had already planned my execution? You don't have to, Pretend that you care, That you've really messed up everything this time, 'Cause what we once had, Is no longer there, 'Cause you've really messed up everything this time. No I wont scream for help, I'll turn you into something cold and lonely, Now I know how Caesar must've felt, I'll make you wish that you'd never known me. You don't have to, Pretend that you care, That you've really messed up everything this time, 'Cause what we once had, Is no longer there, 'Cause you've really messed up everything this time. Oh my days.

Interlude

Darling, You need to realize, That you were always the sunshine of my life, And while I said what I said, And I meant it, It killed me inside that we had to say goodbye. My love is a rainbow. 'Cause I want you so bad, That I can't breathe, I want you so bad, That I go weak at the knees, But I can't have you, 'Cause I'm not ready, To stare into the eyes of beauty. ('Cause I told you) Oh I know that I may have pulled apart, All the things that make you special, Things that make you who you are, But I loved the bones of the shooting stars, That brought you into my life. 'Cause I want you so bad, That I can't breathe, I want you so bad, That I go weak at the knees, But I can't have you, 'Cause I'm not ready, To stare into the eyes of beauty. My love is a rainbow.

Gotta keep my head in the books, Fuck y'all I ain't going down as a crook, All I wanna do is make my mum smile, Kinda hard when you're living in this fucked town, When you've got no one to love you, Cold nights need someone to hug you, Waiting for the right moment to pass through, On these mean streets, Man, there are no curfews, It's a new day I'm feel quite righteous, Sunrise in my view I'm not frightened, Wanna make a huge impact like lightning, So I sit down spend most my time writing, Writing until there's no more ink, Stressed out man so burn a zoot and think, Think about the times when I couldn't get by, Then the sun shines down on my young life, I'm 19 still I've seen a lot of shit, Seen a lot of straps man, I've seen a lot of bricks, A hand for the brothers, I ain't rolling with no pricks, 'Cause they only ever holler, When they see me moving sick, Man, I'm always on the quick, Stay light on my toes, We ain't fucking with the click, Yeah we're always on the go, Always on the road yeah, We're always getting dough, Praying for my niggas 'cause they're never coming home. So... Rise up sunrise, Don't you know that a new day is coming? Speak up sunshine, Find your road and keep on running. Every breath I breathe is my inspiration, If you feel what I'm saying that's a quotation, I remember days so bad, Trying to look for a change but I couldn't even pay attention, And life's hard, That's a lesson, You've only one chance to make a first impression, But I'm out of here, I ain't gotta damn thing, Words cut deep like a knife, Not a blunt weapon, I don't wanna be rotting in a jail yard, Life's fucked and we're struggling real hard, I pick myself up from the ground, Turn my life around, Now I can smile everyday without feeling down, It's a new day and I'm feeling so brave, The sun shines on the horizon, Can you feel the heatwave? Hear the tune play, Feel the beat blaze, Middle finger to the world, 'Cause I'm feeling okay, So... Rise up sunrise, Don't you know that a new day is coming? Speak up sunshine, Find your road and keep on running. Nah this ain't life, I never came in this world so I could go through strife, Hustle day and night up and down on these damn roads, Show no emotion, And I gotta stay cold, Yeah it's cold outside, But my heart's warm, Feels like I've been running through a great storm, Every other night been on my jack jones, Ain't no dawns on the road, Just bare ghosts, Bare shadows of men that fell here, So I thank go every day I'm still here, Too many of my brothers been locked away, And I don't want that life so I kneel and pray, Now I'm just trying to do me, Trying to stay positive by any means, I turn a page of motivation, For every line that I rhyme, So every time I rhyme, I can see you smile, So... Rise up sunrise, Don't you know that a new day is coming? Speak up sunshine, Find your road and keep on running, And sing my soul to sleep.

Okay, let's start again. Friday night, You've gotta let go, Can't stop dancing to the echo, It's the weekend, Gotta fly, Got no money but damn we're gonna try. 'Cause woah, It's time, To take off your disguise. 'Cause is it wrong to ask for more than you were born with? Is it wrong to be so tired of the average day? 'Cause we're getting pretty bored of all the bullshit, So let's turn it up and dance out lives away, Oh let's get wasted. Wait, We haven't go on to the best bit, Smoking trees until we end up with a cleft-lip, And in the morning we can chill out to some Netflix, Eating nothing but Jaffa Cakes and Nesquik. 'Cause woah, It's time, To take off your disguise. 'Cause is it wrong to ask for more than you were born with? Is it wrong to be so tired of the average day? 'Cause we're getting pretty bored of all the bullshit, So let's turn it up and dance out lives away, Oh let's get wasted. Woah, It's time, To take off your disguise. Is it wrong to ask for more than you were born with? Is it wrong to be so tired of the average day? 'Cause we're getting pretty bored of all the bullshit, So let's turn it up and dance out lives away, Oh let's get wasted.

Crazy days, I never thought I'd see your face again, But anyways, How is work and how has your family been? And have I ever told you, Just how much I miss you? And how you haven't left my head for a second? Did I ever tell you, I'd drop everything for you, 'Cause one second stood alone with you, Is an eternity in heaven. Yeah. Summer haze, I remember times when we climbed trees together, Those good old days, Where I was your lion and you were my tiger, You say, "So much has changed since you went away", Oh but I'd say, That every day without you feels like a waste. And have I ever told you, Just how much I miss you? And how you haven't left my head for a second? Did I ever tell you, I'd drop everything for you, 'Cause one second stood alone with you, Is an eternity in heaven. And I slipped and I let you go.

Interlude

We sneaked out of the house last night, He stole his father's car, Headed south for the city lights, We knew we'd never make it very far, He said that he knew somewhere where we could stay for a while, And have everything we need, Keep on running until we go down in style, We can't live our lives on our knees. Sleep well, Goodnight, I promise I'll be holding you, As we're sleeping under, Tokyo lights, I've always been by your side, Each and every single night. We stopped off at an all night cafe, Twenty minutes for a coffee and a cigarette, He said "Fuck it, let's sleep here all day, Let the backseat of the car be out beds", So we stayed up all night and stared at the sky, And dreamed about everything we could be, He said "Sweetie, there's no need to dream, Now that we've broken free". Sleep well, Goodnight, I promise I'll be holding you, As we're sleeping under, Tokyo lights, I've always been by your side, Each and every single night. We played with fire, Now we'll get burnt. Sleep well, Goodnight, I promise I'll be holding you, As we're sleeping under, Tokyo lights, I've always been by your side, Each and every single night.

The comedown, Is gonna break you piece by piece, As you slow down, You can feel it in your veins, That you need it, And it won't ever let you go, Spark it, You're made, You can't even get laid, But when crime doesn't pay, Will I take the blame? 'Cause your head's still shot, Are you still on top? The world may be your oyster, But you're first on the chopping block. My family, They don't recognize me, My girl, She despise me, So she says, And I don't even wanna notice, I can feel your coldrush, I can feel it running around, Again and again and again. I'm screaming out now, Baby I'm alive, I'm screaming out. Your mother she needs you, She only wants to please you, While you piss all over her name, And your friends have left you, They'll only forget you, While you show the whole world your shame. 'Cause my family, They don't recognize me, My girl, She despise me, So she says, And I don't even wanna notice, I can feel your coldrush, I can feel it running around, Again and again and again. We are spinning in a black hole, Yeah we are spinning in a black hole. I'm screaming out now, Baby I'm alive, I'm screaming out. 'Cause my family, They don't recognize me, My girl, She despise me, So she says, And I don't even wanna notice, I can feel your coldrush, I can feel it running around, Again and again and again.

Interlude

I heard your best friend left you the other day, Stood outside her house in the pouring rain, And you swear that sometimes, She doesn't even notice that you're there, And there's no one around you that understands, Just how hard it can be, to stick to the plans, When inside you're fighting the quicksand, And waking up scared. But you are stronger than a lion, Believe me I have seen it, You are harder than iron, If only you'd believe it, Cause there's a war inside of you every day, Where you're just fighting the feeling away, But you keep on wearing that smile on your face, And I've never met anyone so brave. I heard your wife walked out last night, And took the kids off into the light, And you're worried that you'll never get to, Tell them how much you love them, But your friends will never ever understand, Just how hard it can be to be a man, When it feels like your world is slipping through your hands, And it ever seems to end. But you are stronger than a lion, Believe me I have seen it, You are harder than iron, If only you'd believe it, Cause there's a war inside of you every day, Where you're just fighting the feeling away, But you keep on wearing that smile on your face, And I've never met anyone so brave. I heard you drink to forget how that evening unfurled, When you caught your man with another girl, But you knew he was a dickhead, But you loved him anyway, But you knew damn well he'd never understand, That those marks on your arms just prove that you can, Survive the biggest horrors that are known to man, So open your eyes and reach out your hands. 'Cause even though they might tell you that there's no reason to hide, Stop seeking attention and get outside, They'll never ever get to see these battles you fight, That follow you around through every second of your life, 'Cause no one can see the fighter that I see, Who'll be the last one standing by any means, Who'll break down the walls and finally be free, Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee. You are stronger than a lion, Believe me I have seen it, You are harder than iron, If only you'd believe it, Cause there's a war inside of you every day, Where you're just fighting the feeling away, But you keep on wearing that smile on your face, And I've never met anyone so brave.

You say "We're not the men we used to be, We're crawling on our hands and knees, And we're out of time, We're out of time, Please bring the day that they can break free, I've accepted the fact that it's too late for me, 'Cause I'm out of time", You say, "I'm out of time". Well I say, Don't be so down mate, You can't give up now mate, Weren't you the one who told me, This is your life mate? I can't bear to see you in this kind of state, I can't bear to see you in this kind of state. 'Cause if I promised not to let you down, Will you promise not be ashamed? 'Cause you've painted quite a picture there, So please don't look away. Just 'cause you don't notice it, Doesn't mean it isn't there. We haven't battled through every event, Just to see you fall at the final fence, Of the firing line, The firing line, I can't just stand by and not say a thing, While you drive yourself into feeling extinct, Like you're out of time, You're never out of time. Why can't you listen to the words that you wrote down yourself? They just don't apply to everyone else, Go live your life don't expire on the shelf, You've filled me with pride so let pride be your wealth. Don't be so down mate, You can't give up now mate, Weren't you the one who told me, This is your life mate? I can't bear to see you in this kind of state, I can't bear to see you in this kind of state. 'Cause if I promised not to let you down, Will you promise not be ashamed? 'Cause you've painted quite a picture there, So please don't look away. Just 'cause you don't notice it, Doesn't mean it isn't there, And though the light is dimming, There's no reason to be scared, 'Cause we all have our malfunctions, And we all have our regrets, So just look down at the ground, And see the footprints that you've let. (I don't want to have to say goodbye but), When the sun finally sets on us, Don't you dare tell me that you never did enough, 'Cause you made and impression with every touch, And we're staring at this masterpiece of your everlasting love, So when the time comes that we go our separate ways, The last time I ever see your face, I'll be there to remind you that we'll see each other again, And you'll realize that I listened to you every single day.

Interlude

You know lady it's no shame that I have to say, That you're the perfect kind of sunshine to lighten up my day, But the night is getting late so I'll have to stay, And wait for your daylight to whisk me away. Or we can hold on to the darkness that gathers around, As we say a thousand words without making a sound, And everyone can hear us above the ground, Saying "Yeah we're lost but we don't want to be found". Got your letter, Telling me to find you, So hard to find you, When everybody's trying to hide you. Got your letter, Telling me to find you, So hard to find you, But I found you. And save me, And meet me by the riverside where everything began, And stay with me, And let me in your open arms so we can start again. I promise I'll be standing by your side until the end. You know I love it when you notice and start get scared, That I'll notice you staring at me from the stairs, But I'm staring at you so I don't really care, I'll love you when you're here and I'll love you when you're there, So they can stand there and watch me they're not gonna stop me, I'll prove that I'm not just a piece of their property, I've failed before babe but this time you've got me, It's just me and you together baby so lets do this properly. And save me, And meet me by the riverside where everything began, Stay with me, And let me in your open arms so we can start again, We both know that we were meant to be more than just friends. And I promise that I'll never let them tell you any different. We can't afford to give up after all the time we've spent. 'Cause that's it, The films finished, The shows over, The story ends.
