[Dido]
I found no peace in the lies that I've told
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut the harder I get held
More that I believe that you will come to me

[Citizen Cope & Dido]
Without you I've been burning love
Whoa
Oh
Oh
You're the one that I've been calling for
Whoa
Oh
Oh

Without you I've been burning love
Whoa
Oh
Oh
You're the one that I've been calling for

I wanna go to bed with arms around me but wake up on my own
Pretend that I'm still sleeping 'til you go home

Oh
I can't look at you this morning
I should probably have a sign that says, "Leave right now or quicker"
You've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love you're too close to me

No more trips to Grafton Street
No more going there to see you lying still while we all come and go

No more watching sunsets
It seems like summer's holding on
And no more standing quietly at your window

No more driving down your road
Wondering when you'll be home
And no more peace when they all leave and leave us 2 alone

And time we always lose is finally found here with you
My love

Some days I want love and some days I don't
Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly it's gone
Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don't

Only a change of mood
Sun goes down
Someone says something to quick or too soon

A touch not made
One made too late
Armies of words cannot hope to contain

Then it comes and it goes
And I have no control

Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow
And I'll try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know you've let me down
But you haven't and it's hard to talk with people all around
Please don't say how proud you are

Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say, "See you later"
You'll sing a line or two from your rebel songs sung out of tune

I might have been a singer who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins millions and spent it all on girls
I might have been a poet who walked upon the moon
A scientist who'd tell the world I discovered something new

I might have loved a king
Been the one to end a war
A criminal who drank champagne and never could be caught
But among your books
Among your clothes

I could put it down to being tired or coming home to an empty house
A passing moment
A little man
No one around to stop me writing to you
I never want to say it's love but it's really what I'm thinking of

I could apologise and say, "Tear it up"
And put it down to the pills I've taken
Seeing my friends with their lives moved on while I've been gently drifting

I have returned to the northern skies
Where the summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
And I have returned to the somber grace
Of days too early to come and too early to stay

And I have left a million stars and an ocean light and clearly blue
And I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun

Ask me where I'd go tonight
I'd go back to today
Last year
When me and you knew how to make each other happy
And there was hope with everything
It's hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anything
Without these quiet times you've brought round here

I'm gonna have to run away
I'm sure that I belong some other place
And I've seen another side of all I've seen

Speeches won't be made today
Clocks will carry on
Flowers won't be left in parks
Work will still be done

People won't be dressed in black
Babies will be born
No flags will fly
The sun will rise but we will know that you are gone

You who loved to love and believed we can never give enough

It wakes me every single night
Thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time
Have doubts at any stage

Walking home
Burnt and red
"Sticky thin," he said
"Let us go down in the woods"
"Can you be careful", she said
Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

"Sticky thin
How you've grown," they said
"You'll never fit in your long white dress
When's he going to try and get a job"
