WORTHLESS


 I know what you came for
And I know when you'll leave
You came for my heart
And it's lost to me
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
I know why you're leaving
And I'll just let it be
I am left with nothing
And now you're lost to me
For I can't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
 
I know why you're waiting
Give me time breathe
Before you take my heart now
And just get up and leave
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
 
For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless
As worthless can be
 
For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a part of us
You know it's worthless
As worthless can be

HERE WITH ME 


I didn't here you leave
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory 
 
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
but I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
until your resting here with me 
 
I don't want to call my friends
they might wake me from this dream
and I can't leave this bed
risk forgetting all that's been
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
but I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
until your resting here with me

HUNTER 


With one light on in one room, I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair, I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne, would you be wise enough to let
me go
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a Hunter again, wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go.
The unread book and painful look, the TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin, oh look what the cat's bought in
If you were a king up there on your throne, would you be wise enough to let
me go
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again, wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave
For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking
I want to be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go.

DON'T THINK OF ME 


So you're with her
and not with me
I hope she's sweet
and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully
a little angel beside you 
 
So you're with her 
and not with me
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house
is small and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be 
 
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me 
 
So you're with her
and not with me
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel 
 
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me 
 
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me 
 
Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there 
 
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me 
And it's too late and it's too bad
 
Don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

MY LOVER'S GONE 


My lover's gone
his boots no longer by my door
he left at dawn
and as I slept I felt him go 
 
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again 
 
My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
no more his song
the tune upon his lips has passed 
 
I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again

ALL YOU WANT 


I'd like to watch you sleep at night
to hear you breathe by my side
And though sleep leaves me behind
there's nowhere I'd rather be
And now our bed is oh so cold
my hands feel empty
no one to hold
I can sleep what side I want
It's not the same with you gone 
 
Oh if you'd come home
I'll let you know that
All you want
Is right here in this room
All you need
Is sitting here with you
All you want 
 
It's been three years
One night apart
but in that night you tore my heart
If only you had slept alone
If those seeds had not been sown 
 
Oh you could come home and you would know that
All you want
Is right here in this room
All you need
Is sitting here with you
All you want 
 
I hear your key turning in the door
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin
can leave the way you just came in
send my regards to her 
 
I hope you've found that
All you want
Is right there in that room
All you need
Is sitting there with you
All you want 
 
I'd like to watch you sleep at night
to hear you breathe by my side

THANK YOU 


My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad 
 
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
and then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad and 
 
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life 
 
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and 
 
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

HONESTLY OK 


I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
but I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore 
 
On a different day if I was safe in my own skin
then I wouldn't feel so lost and so frightened
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin 
 
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore 
 
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again

SLIDE 


Even on a day like this when you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the phone to ring anyone who knows you anymore
 
It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
 
Staring at the same four walls, have you tried to help yourself
The rings around your eyes they don't hide, that you need to get some rest
 
It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment
 
Don't slide
 
Even at a time like this when the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you but it's happened to us all
 
It's all right to make mistakes
you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment
 
Don't slide
 
You brought this on yourself
and it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head
and dream of something else instead
 
Don't slide

ISOBEL 


I thought it was funny when you missed the train
When I rang you at home they said you left yesterday
I thought it was strange when your car was found
by the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around 
 
Dear Isobel
I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell
I wish you well and hope your safe tonight 
 
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
when it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
by loving you more 
 
And who he would become, all the things he'd have done
would he have loved you, and not let you down
and would he be stronger than his father
don't punish yourself, leave it well alone 
 
Dear Isobel
I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell
I wish you well and hope your safe tonight 
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
when it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
by loving you more

I'M NO ANGEL 


If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I'd be rich beyond my dreams, I'm sorry for my weary life
I know I'm not perfect but I can smile
and I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes 
 
If you tell me that I can't, I will, I will, I'll try all night
and if I say I'm coming home, I'll probably be out all night
I know I can be afraid but I'm alive
and I hope that you can trust this heart behing my tired eyes 
 
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly 
 
I know I'm not around each night
and I know I always think I'm right
I can believe that you might look around 
 
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly

MY LIFE 


What I choose to do is of no concern to you and your friends
Where I lay my hat may not be my home, but I will last on my own 
 
'Cause it's me, and my life
it's my life
 
Oh the world has sat in the palm of your hand not that you'd see
and I'm tired and bored of waiting for you and all those things you never do 
 
'Cause it's me, and my life
it's my life

TAKE MY HAND 


Touch my skin,and tell me what you're thinking
Take my hand and show me where we're going
Lie down next to me, look into my eyes and tell me, oh tell me what you're seeing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling
what you feel now is what I feel for you 
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone
If I'm lying to you
 
See my eyes, they carry your reflection
Watch my lips and hear the words I'm telling you
Give your trust to me and look into my heart and show me, show me what you're doing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling
what you feel now is what I feel for you 
 
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone
if I'm lying to you
Take your time, if I'm lying to you
I know you'll find that you believe me
you believe me 
 
Feel the sun on your face and tell me what you're thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone
if I'm lying to you
Take your time, if I'm lying to you
I know you'll find that you believe me
you believe me
