I hope I never fall in love again It just hurts too much and always ends I don’t believe in what that Shakespeare penned I hope I never fall in love again I think we both know what is really true I couldn’t even if I wanted to Oh because I’m still in love with you Oh because I’m still in love with you I hope I never fall in love again You know it’s you and it has always been Feels like my heart will never ever mend I hope I never fall in love again I’m trying hard but I just can’t pretend I never want to fall in love again Maybe I will but I just don’t know when And it’s terrifying me no end What I really need is something real A shroud to cover you so I can heal So I can risk it and not give a damn Then I’ll rush in just like the fool I am I hope I never fall in love again You know it’s you and it has always been Feels like my heart will never ever mend I hope I never fall in love again Now I’m living in a fantasy That you’ll come find me on that balcony We’ll run away and leave it all behind But I’m running out of time I’m running out of time Oh I’m running out of time I gotta let you go And stop living in your shadow I’m trying hard but I just can’t pretend I never want to fall in love again I wanna risk it and not give a damn Then I’ll rush in just like the fool I am

You know that feeling Reaching in the dark Lonely and cold, not even a spark The hours in between are all tinted and hued One’s hope and one’s doubt And one doesn’t have a clue It’s hard to be brave with the wind in your face Stormy clouds raging at you The sun isn’t risen but it’s coming soon And the sky is a brighter blue Someone in the mirror I don’t recognize Screaming to get out from the inside The answers are seeds They were thrown at our feet But they grow more questions They’re growing like weeds It’s hard to have faith when there’s nothing to hold And the stories you told don’t come true Still underground but the light’s seeping through And the walls turn a brighter blue I made a fool, a fool of myself Better than anyone else You’re the thread that I pull And the whole thing unravels So lower it down in the well And I’ll climb out I’ll climb out It’s hard to be brave with the wind in your face Stormy clouds raging at you The sun isn’t risen but it’s coming soon And the sky is a brighter blue The weight is still heavy but I’ll carry it through And I am a brighter shade of blue

Ghost 02:53
Those old reels start creaking in the back of my mind Shaky confessions on the line LA traffic never looked so good Maybe I misunderstood You took my hand, I couldn’t look you in the eye Just trying to see you through the smoke I believed it could be real this time Almost forgot you’re a ghost I’m alive and breathing My heart’s still beating I don’t wanna be dreaming Cuz I’m alive and breathing Last time I saw you, the moon looked the same Your hands so cool on my skin Then it was waxing but now it wanes Did that really happen? This road’s so dark it’s got me hopin for thieves Singing my way up the coast I’m a thought, I’m a lark Fill the space in between Feels like I’m just a ghost I’m alive and breathing My heart’s still beating I don’t wanna be dreaming Cuz I’m alive and breathing You’re unfinished business Unanswered letter Love unrequited Returned to sender What the hell am I waiting here for? I’m alive and breathing My heart’s still beating I don’t wanna be dreaming Cuz I’m alive and breathing My heart’s still beating I don’t wanna be dreaming Cuz I’m alive and breathing

Do you know where we’re going? I’ve been sailing for days Tossing boulders in that rowdy sea Longing for your gaze Like a minefield full of fireflies Drawing me in when I should flee Are you ever truly satisfied? Would you really want to be? Thought that shine was a lighthouse But it was That Siren, Hope She sang me to sleep Got me to dream Turns out her song was just a joke Fell to the ground and found our crowns in the dark We hid in plain view We told secrets everyone could hear You’re the siren and the muse If you get closer see her hands are gnarled From centuries of spinning lace Came to the cliffs all in ecstasy And left with salt upon my face Thought that shine was a lighthouse But it was That Siren, Hope She sang me to sleep Got me to dream Turns out her song was just a joke I’m just a question who wants to be the answer A weary sailor who cannot read the stars You keep singing and I’ll be the dancer Thought that shine was a lighthouse But it was That Siren, Hope She sang me to sleep Got me to dream Turns out her song was just a joke

My heart is broken It doesn’t work anymore I feel nothing Where I used to love before I can’t open up standing on the edge of fear I know I have to jump but I’m still standing here If I can’t have what I want If I can’t have what I want Then I’ll want nothing at all It’s all that I can do Because I can’t have you I’m a liar I smile when we speak But it’s crumbling The ground beneath my feet I can feel it Your heart beating my chest I forgive you Oh But how can I forget? If I can’t have what I want If I can’t have what I want Then I’ll want nothing at all It’s all that I can do Because I can’t have you ‘Cause I can’t have you If I can’t have what I want If I can’t have what I want Then I’ll want what I can’t have It’s all that I can do If I can’t have what I want If I can’t have what I want Then I’ll want nothing at all It’s all that I can do Because I can’t have you No I can’t have you ‘Cause I can’t have you

This torch I've been holding has all but burned out The light has been swallowed by the shadow of doubt Under ash it’s still hot, It melted my soles Now my shoes are stuck (t)here and my feet have gone cold Stones and sinkholes litter uncharted land Thought it could be worth it for gold we had panned Guess this was a game we played just for fun Love was a kingdom that couldn't be won Oh my love Don’t be afraid All hope is not lost It’s just been misplaced I brought you a hive with words honey sweet You hear the buzz and feel the sting of the bees
You Drew my heart All broken lines Gave it back to me covered in vines Oh my love Don’t be afraid All hope is not lost It’s just been misplaced Oh my love Don’t be afraid All hope is not lost It’s just been misplaced You don't like sad endings So tell me how do you cope?  The director who fires the actors When it plays out just like you wrote The horizon is veiled and I can’t hardly see I didn't know which signs to believe The city looks clear now through the glass of the cab This film has no foley yet But the score isn’t bad Oh my love Don’t be afraid All hope is not lost It’s just been misplaced Oh my love Don’t be afraid All hope is not lost It’s just been misplaced
