  1. In The Darkest PlaceVer letra 4:19

    [X]

    letra de In The Darkest Place

    In the darkest place
    I know
    That is where you'll find me
    Even though you didn't have to remind me
    I shut out the lights
    Your eyes adjust
    They'll never be the same
    You know I love you so
    Lets start again

    Since you put me down
    It seems
    I've been very gloomy
    You may laugh, but pretty girls look right through me
    They don't sense the faintest glimmering
    That is the torch I bear
    There's light enough for me to find my way

    But I only have to tell myself that by now
    You could be with someone else
    Is there light beneath your door and
    Laughter from within?

    Do your friends come around
    Saying, "try to find another lover"?
    He won't love you like I do

    In the darkest place
    I'm lost
    I have abandoned every hope
    Maybe you'll understand I must
    Shut out the light

    Your eyes adjust
    They'll never be the same
    You know I love you so
    Lets start again

    Do your friends come around
    Saying, "Try to find another lover"?
    He won't love you like I do

    In the darkest place
    That is where you'll find me
    In the darkest place
    That is where you'll find me

  2. ToledoVer letra 4:36

    [X]

    letra de Toledo

    All through the night you telephoned
    I saw the light blinking red
    Beside the cradle
    But you don't know how far I've gone
    Now I must live with the lie
    That I made
    But if I call, I know I won't have to say it
    You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it

    But do people living in Toledo
    Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?
    And does anybody in Ohio
    Dream of that Spanish citadel?
    But it's no use saying that I love you
    And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
    For if anyone should look into your eyes
    It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see

    You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"
    You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"

    So I walked outside in the bright
    Sunshine and lovers pass by
    Smiling and joking
    But they don't know the fool I was
    Why should they care what was lost
    What was broken?

    But if I call, I know I won't have to say it
    You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it

    But do people living in Toledo
    Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?
    And does anybody in Ohio
    Dream of that Spanish citadel?
    But it's no use saying that I love you
    And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
    For if anyone should look into your eyes
    It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see

    But do people living in Toledo
    Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?
    And does anybody in Ohio
    Dream of that Spanish citadel?
    But we still have Florence, Alabama
    We don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome

  3. I Still Have That Other GirlVer letra 2:48

    [X]

    letra de I Still Have That Other Girl

    I have to say that we should finish it now
    Before we weaken 'cause we already know this is wrong
    I could give in, sometimes I think that I will
    Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
    In my reluctance seems a surprise
    It's not 'cause I don't want you

    But I just
    Know I must... hesitate

    Because I still have that other girl
    In my head
    I still have that other girl in my head

    There may be ugly rumors that
    I have been lying
    There may be angry tears, but
    They're never worth the crying

    That is why
    Sometimes I... hesitate

    Because I still have that other girl
    In my head
    I still have that other girl in my head
    I still have that other girl in my head

  4. This House Is Empty NowVer letra 5:10

    [X]

    letra de This House Is Empty Now

    These rooms play tricks upon you
    Remember when they were always filled with laughter?
    But now they're quite deserted
    They seem to just echo voices raised in anger
    Maybe you will see my face
    Reflected there on the pane
    In the window of our poor
    Forlorn and broken home

    Still this house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do
    To make you want to stay
    So tell me how
    Am I supposed to live without you?

    These walls were lined with pictures
    Remember the glass we charged in celebration?
    But now I fill my life up
    With all that I can to deaden this sensation

    Do you recognize the face
    Fixed in that fine silver frame
    Were you really so unhappy then?
    You never said

    So this house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do
    To make you want to stay
    So tell me how
    Am I supposed to live without you?

    Oh, if I could just become forgetful
    When night seems endless
    Does the extinguished candle care
    About the darkness?

    It's funny how my mem'ry
    Will bring you so close then make you disappear

    Meanwhile all our friends must choose
    Who they will favour, who they will lose
    Hang the garland high or close the door
    And throw away the key

    This house is empty now
    There's no one living here
    You have to care about
    This house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do
    To make you want to stay
    So tell me how
    Am I supposed to live without you?

    This house is empty now
    There's no one living here
    You have to care about
    This house is empty now
    There's nothing I can do
    To make you want to stay
    So tell me how
    Am I supposed to live without you?

  5. Tears At The Birthday PartyVer letra 4:38

    [X]

    letra de Tears At The Birthday Party

    Think back now when we were young
    There were always tears at the birthday party
    You know how children can be
    So cruel
    That's how it starts, but
    What if we never learn how to behave?
    I did something, and you never forgave me
    I never thought that it could be like this

    But now I see
    I see you share your cake with him
    Unwrapping presents that I should have sent
    What can I do?
    Must I watch you?

    Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
    So Happy Birthday again

    And it's the same every year
    Seems that I remember it as something more, but
    You know how children can grow
    So strange
    I still adore you

    What if we never learn from our mistakes?
    But then, you'll never know how my heart aches

    I never thought that it would be like this
    But now I see
    I see you share your cake with him
    Unwrapping presents that I should have sent
    What can I do?
    Must I watch you?

    Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
    So Happy Birthday again
    Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
    So Happy Birthday again

    One day I know he'll forget
    To pay you the compliments you're after
    You'll hang your sad, aching head
    Behind a brittle smile or a shrill of laughter

    What if we only get what we deserve?
    Somehow I couldn't quite summon the nerve

    Upon each anniversary
    Then do you ever think of me?
    Unwrapping presents that I should have sent
    What can I do?
    Must I watch you?

    Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
    So Happy Birthday again
    Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
    So Happy Birthday again
    Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
    So Happy Birthday again
    Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
    So Happy Birthday again

  6. Such Unlikely LoversVer letra 3:26

    [X]

    letra de Such Unlikely Lovers

    On a hot city day
    When your white shirt turns to grey
    That's when she'll arrive
    When you look how you feel
    Someone steps upon your heel
    That's when she will come
    Listen now
    I'm not saying that there will be violins
    But don't be surprised if they appear
    Playing in some doorway
    Still I can't believe that this is happening

    We're such unlikely lovers
    Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by
    Ask me what I'm thinking, and I won't deny it
    Can you believe it's happening?
    Can you believe it's happening?

    There were no magic spells
    You can keep the flowers and bells
    They just don't seem right
    Can it actually be?
    Me and you and you and me
    Though we're like day and night

    Listen now
    I'm not saying that there will be violins
    But don't be surprised if they appear
    Playing in some doorway
    Still I can't believe that this is happening

    We're such unlikely lovers
    Though no one seems to notice as they hurry by
    Ask me what I'm feeling, and I won't deny it
    Can you believe it's happening?
    I am bewildered
    Can you believe it's happening?
    Somebody help me
    Can you believe it's happening?

  7. My ThiefVer letra 4:21

    [X]

    letra de My Thief

    When I go to sleep, you become my thief
    Why don't you steal what you can keep?
    But you won't let me be
    You break into my dreams
    And every day seems different
    Sometimes I pretend you'll come back again
    And you'll console the heart you stole
    Have pity on the man
    Who knows that you have gone
    And has begun to break down

    I feel almost possessed
    So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then
    You can take all I have left
    I know it's over
    If you can't be my lover
    Be my thief

    I'm so drowsy now, I'll unlock the door
    What fades in time will hurt much more
    So here's that happy scene
    Where you come back to me
    It's only found in fiction

    I feel almost possessed
    So long as I don't lose this glorious distress then
    You can take all I have left
    I know it's over
    If you can't be my lover
    Be my thief

    "I didn't lead you on,
    But there will always be
    A little larceny in everyone

    So hush and don't you cry
    I'm trying to be kind
    Because I have a perfect alibi"

  8. The Long DivisionVer letra 4:15

    [X]

    letra de The Long Division

    Did somebody try to catch your eye
    And almost change your sad expression?
    Did somebody's hand linger too long?
    Must I now make my confession?
    But you'll never know
    What suspicion is
    Until you lie awake

    And every night you ask yourself
    "What am I to do?"
    Can it be so hard to calculate?
    When three goes into two
    There's nothing left over

    How's it gonna feel? This time it's real
    It's not a temporary fracture
    This is what you get, the stage is set
    For you and your attempted rapture

    Is he gonna smile
    That indulgent smile
    When you come running home?

    And every night you ask yourself,
    "What am I to do?"
    Can it be so hard to calculate?
    When three goes into two
    There's nothing left over

    What am I gonna say? You turn away
    And you leave me here despairing
    What am I going to do? I look at you
    You seem to be so long past caring

    Did somebody say,
    "Can we still be friends?"
    Only to find out now that it's a joke

    So ask yourself,
    "What am I to do?"
    Can it be so hard to calculate?
    When three goes into two
    There's nothing left over

    Did somebody say,
    "Can we still be friends?"
    Did somebody say,
    "Can we still be friends?"

    Did somebody say,
    "Can we still be friends?"
    Did somebody say,
    "Can we still be friends?"

    Did somebody say,
    "Can we still be friends?"
    Did somebody say,
    "Can we still be friends?"

  9. Painted From MemoryVer letra 4:14

    [X]

    letra de Painted From Memory

    Such a picture of loveliness
    Didn't you notice the resemblance?
    Doesn't it look like she could speak?
    Those eyes I tried to capture
    They are lost to me now forever
    They smile for someone else

    Funny, how looks can be deceiving
    But she's not easily
    Painted from memory

    You'd think that I would know by now
    Those eyes I tried to capture
    They are lost to me now forever
    They smile for someone else

    And so this had to be
    Painted from memory

    She is gone, and I must accept it
    She is lost to me now
    But I can't look away just yet though
    She smiles for someone else

    And so this had to be
    Painted from memory

    Funny, now I can see
    How looks can be deceiving

    And so this had to be
    Painted from memory

    Funny, now I can see
    How looks can be deceiving

  10. The Sweetest PunchVer letra 4:11

    [X]

    letra de The Sweetest Punch

    You only saw red
    After I said, "How can we continue?"
    Hidden from your view
    In the blue corner that I painted myself into
    Then we started to fight
    And it changed everything
    Here's the ring

    You dropped the band, I can't understand it
    Not after all we've been through
    Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
    Will find one to walk right into

    You knocked me out
    It was the sweetest punch
    The bell goes...

    I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
    We all say things we don't mean
    You can't take it back

    Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?
    I can see I'll never win
    So if you're going
    Then you better go to him
    Then you better go to him

    I only saw stars
    I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended
    What was I to do
    In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended?

    Then with seconds to go
    You delivered the blow
    Here I go

    You dropped the band, I can't understand it
    Not after all we've been through
    Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I
    Will find one to walk right into

    You knocked me out
    It was the sweetest punch
    The bell goes...

    I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming
    We all say things we don't mean
    You can't take it back

    Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice?
    I can see I'll never win
    So if you're going
    Then you better go to him
    Then you better go to him

  11. What's Her Name Today? 4:11
  12. God Give Me StrengthVer letra 6:10

    [X]

    letra de God Give Me Strength

    Now I have nothing
    So God give me strength
    'Cos I'm weak anyway
    And if I'm strong I might still break
    And I don't have anything to share
    That I won't throw away into the air
    That song is sung out
    This bell is rung out
    She was the light that I'd bless
    She took my last chance of happiness
    So God give me strength
    God give me strength

    I can't hold on to her
    God give me strength
    When the phone doesn't ring
    And I'm lost in imagining
    Everything that kind of love is worth
    As I tumble back down to the earth

    That song is sung out
    This bell is rung out
    She was the light that I'd bless
    She took my last chance of happiness
    So God give me strength

    God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline
    I might as well
    Wipe her from my memory
    Fracture the spell
    As she becomes my enemy

    Maybe I was washed out
    Like a lip-print on his shirt
    See, I'm only human
    I want him to hurt
    I want him
    I want him to hurt

    Since I lost the power to pretend
    That there could ever be a happy ending
    That song is sung out
    This bell is rung out
    She was the light that I'd bless
    She took my last chance of happiness
    So God give me strength
    God give me strength
