Secondhand Serenade - A Twist In My Story (2008)

Secondhand Serenade - A Twist In My Story

01 -  Like A Knife
 I dream a lot, I know you say
I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you,
But promise that you'll stay.
Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories
Both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you
But I'm the only one to blame.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember

Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed,
I need you just to breathe.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe.)
I'm not living this life
02 - Fall For You
 The best thing 'bout tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Oh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
03 - Maybe
Didn't you want to hear the sound of all the places we could go?
Do you fear the expressions on the faces we don't know?
It's a cold hard road when you wake up and I don't think that I
Have the strength to let you go

Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did wasn't just deceiving?
And the tear in your eye and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

There goes my ring, it might as well have been shattered
And I'm here to sing about the things that mattered
About the things that made us feel alive for, oh, so long
About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong

Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did wasn't just deceiving?
And the tear in your eye and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

And someday, I promise I'll be gone
And someday, I might even sing this song to you
I might even sing this song to you, to you, to you

And I was crying alone tonight
And I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you
So just come back we'll make it better
So just come back, I'll make it better than it ever was
I'll make it better than it ever was

Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did wasn't just deceiving?
And the tear in your eye and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

Maybe it's just me, couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did wasn't just deceiving?
And the tear in your eye and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
Maybe it's just me


04 - Stranger
 Turn around, turn around
And fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection

I can't speak, I can't make a sound
To somehow capture your attention
I'm staring at perfection

Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are

You call me a stranger, you say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broken, abandoned, you are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

I'm confident, but I can't pretend
I wasn't terrified to meet you
I knew you could see right through me

I saw my life flash right before my very eyes
And I knew just what we?d turn into
I was hoping that you could see

Take a look at me so you can see

You call me a stranger, you say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broken, abandoned, you are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are

Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are

Your beauty seems so far away
I'd have to write a thousand songs
To make you comprehend how beautiful you are

I know that I can't make you stay
But I would give my final breath
To make you understand how beautiful you are
Understand how beautiful you are

You call me a stranger, you say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broken, abandoned, you are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

You call me a stranger, you say I'm a danger
You call me a stranger
05 - Your Call
 Waiting for your call, I?m sick, call I?m angry
Call I?m desperate for your voice
I?m listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember, butterfly, early summer?
It?s playing on repeat, just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet

I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to
To make you mine, stay with me tonight

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious
You and me, flesh to flesh
'Cause every breath that you will take
When you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes, what?s your fantasy?
What?s your, what?s your

I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to
To make you mine, stay with me tonight

And I?m tired of being all alone
And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
And I?m tired of being all alone
And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

And I?m tired of being all alone
And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
And I?m tired of being all alone
And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to
I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
06 - Suppose
 Suppose that I missed you
Suppose that I cared
And suppose that I've spent all my nights running scared
And suppose that I was never there

And my eyes are screaming for the sight of you
And tonight I'm dreaming
Of all the things that we've been through
And I can't hold on to you, so I guess I feel lonely too

Suppose we were happy, suppose it was true
And suppose there were cold nights
But we somehow made it through
And suppose that I'm nothing without you

And my eyes are screaming for the sight of you
And tonight I'm dreaming
Of all the things that we've been through
And I can't hold on to you, so I guess I feel lonely too

Slow way down
This breakdown's eating me alive
And I'm tired
And this fight is fighting to survive

Tell me a secret
(I want it)
Tell me a story
(I need it )
I'll listen attentively
I'll stay awake all night

Allow me to whisper
(So softly)
There's nothing I did mean
(Please help me)
But it's in my body, it's strong enough to fight
(Let's make this right)
Please help me make this right

Suppose that I was wrong
Suppose you were here
And suppose that I reached out and caught your tears
And suppose this fight just disappeared

And my eyes are screaming for the sight of you
And tonight I'm dreaming
Of all the things that we've been through
And I can't hold on to you, so I guess I feel lonely too
But I'd rather be here with you
07 - A Twist In My Story
 Slow down, the world isn't watching us break down
It's safe to say we are alone now, we're alone now
Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver
I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence
So please just break the silence

The whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turned into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I have just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off you

I'm longing for words to describe how I'm feeling
I'm feeling inspired, my world just flipped, turned upside down
And turned around, say, what's that sound?
It's my heartbeat, it's getting much louder
My heartbeat is stronger than ever
I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive

The whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turned into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I have just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off you

I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up and let your love right through me
I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up and let your love right through me

?Cause that's what you get
When you see your life through someone else's eyes
That's what you get, that's what you get

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I have just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off you

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I have just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off you
08 - Why
 The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in.
But I've broken all my promises to you
I've broken all my promises to you.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?

A phrasing that's a single tear,
Is harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone.
Because these days aren't easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren't easy anymore.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.

I should have known this wasn't real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most? Everything
That you feel while listening to every word that I sing.
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.
09 - Stay Close Don't Go
 Staring at the glass in front of me
Is it half empty?
Have I ruined all you've given me?
I know I've been selfish, I know I've been foolish
But look through that and you will see

That I'll do better, I know
Baby, I can do better

If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone
Don't tell me I will make it on my own
Don't leave me tonight
This heart of stone will sing till it dies
If you leave me tonight

Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping
I listen to your breathing
Amazed how I somehow managed to
Sweep you off of your feet, girl, your perfect little feet, girl
I took for granted what you do

But I'll do better, I know
Baby, I can do better

If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone
Don't tell me I will make it on my own
Don't leave me tonight
This heart of stone will sing till it dies
If you leave me tonight

And don't you know my heart is open
Oh, it's putting up a fight
And I've got this feeling that every thing's alright
Don't you see I'm not the only one for you
But you're the only one for me

If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone

If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone
Don't tell me I will make it on my own
Don't leave me tonight
This heart of stone will sing till it dies
If you leave me tonight

Don't leave me tonight
10 - Pretend
 It seems all of these words
Couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here?
What did I do?

Your eyes, telling me lies
Making me find myself
While you have your agenda
A life to pursue

So please
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth

I'm blind to all of your colors
It used to be rainbow then
My eyes, where did they go to?
Why disappear?

It's hard to be all alone
I never got through your disguise
I guess I'll just go
And face all my fear

So please
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth

Put down your world
Just for one night
Pick me again

So please
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth
11 - Goodbye
It's a shame that it had to be this way
It's not enough to say I'm sorry
It's not enough to say I'm sorry

Maybe I'm so blind or maybe we're the same
But either way I can't breathe
Either way I can't breathe

All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way

I'm alive but I'm losing all my drive
'Cause everything we've been through
It's everything about you

Seem to be a lie, a countless, twisted lie
That made me learn to hate you
I hate myself for letting it pass by

All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way

All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way, hey

And every, everything isn't only what it seems
So hope these words that you never told me
It's time to say goodbye, it's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Take my pain away
Tell me I, tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Take my pain away
Tell me I, tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Take my pain away
Tell me I, tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Take my pain away
Tell me I, tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong
