SOMETIMES 

The silence sounds
Like your heartbeat
Come in, take a seat
Lost for words, last I heard

Play the part
Top of the chart
In this play
You don't say 

Sometimes the stars 
Shine during the day
Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 
Oh no, not you and me

I'm on my way
It's quite a day 
I was looking for a hand to hold
Now I'm boxed in, cold 

It's a whole stormy
Sea of misery
Keep your distance
Had enough of your trickery

Sometimes the stars 
Shine during the day
Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 
Oh no, not you and me

Going for victory
Looking for applause again
It's no mystery
But questions remain

Shooting off like fireworks
Showing all your quirks
Time to wind it down
Give up your crown

Sometimes the stars 
Shine during the day
Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 

Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 
Oh no, not you and me
Oh no, not you and me

THE BET 

I don't know what happened 
I lost my mind for a while
I was bewitched
By your beautiful smile 

It wasn't that hard
To sweep me off my feet
Now my heart is charred
I wasn't ready for the heat

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to play

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to play 

I'm not sorry for what I said
You needed to hear it 
The waiting filled me with dread
More than I liked I must admit 

I knew the outcome
Before you even spoke
Left me quite numb
But it was your own heart you broke

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay 

I've got a clean slate
There's nothing to regret
Next time I won't take the bait
Wish we never met 

Swept me off my feet
Wasn't ready for the heat
I knew before you even spoke
It was your own heart you broke 

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay 

What will you get
Every step you take
What's your bet
There's always a price to pay

What will you get
Every step you take
What's your bet
There's always a price to pay

TAKE 

Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice

Willpower forged in hell
There's nothing you can sell
That I haven't fought for nail and tooth
Living the bone-deep truth

Let me tell you about
The world of paper hearts
It's always over 
Long before it even starts 

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, all take take take

Promises made of smoke
You laugh as they all choke
It's a twisted song
And you just move on

I swore I wouldn't be
Fooled again
It was too bright to see
Too late to complain

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, all take take take

Dive deep or run away
Slow smiles
Leading you astray
No second chances
A lasting mark
Lost in the dark

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, no give
All take take take

Crown of heartache and ice
Over before it starts
Promises and smoke
Laugh while they choke

Guess what, fooled again
Too late to complain
Dive deep or run away
Slow smiles leading me astray

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, no give
All take take take

Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No second chances
A lasting mark
Lost in the dark
No give, no give
All take take take

Dive deep or run away
Slow smiles leading me astray

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, all take take take 
No give, all take take take

AT WHAT COST 

The heart can’t always fight
Where did the feeling go
Lost in the echoes of the night
You turned into a foe

The tides have turned
Even kings get wet in the rain
All summer I yearned
Until I realised it's in vain 

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

I fell for a shadow so dark
Still looking for the spark
Caught in a web 
Of a thousand missteps

You said you'll change the story
Rewrite every line
But it's just another chapter
In your veiled design

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

The heart can’t always fight
Where did the feeling go
Lost in the echoes of the night
You turned into a foe

You said you'll change the story
Rewrite every line
But it's just another chapter
In your veiled design

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

OTHER PLANS 

Oh, you're so good at
Lying through your teeth
Thought I would
Fall at your feet

Stirring your pot of spells
But forgot I know all your tells
Pulling cards from the deck
In the thick of it up to your neck

All the nights you stayed
All the games you played
Promises in the dark
They always fall apart

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

You were just spinning 
A tale that was old
All the sweet whispers
Nothing there to hold

The lights went out
My mind is wrapped in doubt
Chased the touch of your hands
But you had other plans 

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

Bringing out your best hits
Testing all your tricks
Lying through your teeth
Thought I would
Fall at your feet

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do

Pulling cards from the deck
In the thick of it up to your neck
Now my soul is scarred
And oh, yes, you're barred 

Stirring your pot of spells
But forgot I know all your tells
The last late night call
I'm ready for the fall

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

A fleeting spark
Gone in the dark
A new day, a new plan
Do the best I can
I thought I was the one
But now I'm done 

Bringing out your gun
But now I'm done

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

A fleeting spark
Gone in the dark
A new day, a new plan
Do the best I can
I thought I was the one
But now I'm done

MAGNETIC    

It was a hit and miss
Would you look at this 
The summer's gone
I thought I found the one

It's a new dawn
I'm still torn
I don't want too see you
But after a while I do 

So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
Yeah, I'm stuck

Should I call
I don't know
It's already fall
But time's going slow

You're not who 
I thought you were
Still I wish it was
Just us two causing a stir

So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
Yeah, I'm stuck

It was a hit and miss
Would you look at this 
The summer's gone
I thought I found the one

Should I call
I don't know
It's already fall
But time's going slow

So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck

It was a hit and miss
Would you look at this 
The summer's gone
I thought I found the one

It's a new dawn
I'm still torn
I don't want too see you
But after a while I do 

So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
Yeah, I'm stuck

Should I call
I don't know
It's already fall
But time's going slow

You're not who 
I thought you were
Still I wish it was
Just us two causing a stir

So magnetic

So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
Yeah, I'm stuck

It was a hit and miss
Would you look at this 
The summer's gone
I thought I found the one

Should I call
I don't know
It's already fall
But time's going slow

So magnetic

So magnetic
You're like a drug
So magnetic

DANGEROUS GAMES 

Weight of the night
Out of sight
I was going to wait 
But is it too late

Live and learn
Watch it burn
Just goes to show
Time to glow

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

A clever disguise
Got any advice
A double cross
The greatest loss

Out of the blue
What is true
Even the score
Luck of the draw

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

Nice and quiet
Gonna be a riot
Wise old witch
Flip the switch

Stop the clocks
Break the locks
Stab in the dark
Missed your mark

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

What are you waiting for
See every flaw
Kiss of life
Twist the knife

Light up the sky
Look me in the eye
Try as one might
Ready for flight

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

SEVEN WAYS 

The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 
Small talk and manipulation

I'll destroy your world
Without even blinking
What on earth
Were you thinking

I've got seven ways to end you
Already worked out
Drown you in guilt
You didn't even know about

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Slowly take your everything
Ruined reputation
Need no convincing
This is your education 

Don't trust anyone
Life on the run
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you 
Life on the run
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Oh, I've got seven ways to end you
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 
Not blinking
What were you 
Even thinking

Laughing at your own jokes
Not thinking about the past
It was all a hoax 
Always come in last 

Play around and find out
I always get my way
You can scream and shout
But in the end you'll pay

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

I'll destroy your world
Without even blinking
And while you're shrinking
I'll be over here drinking

Not keeping the promises
See right through the disguises
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Oh, I've got seven ways to end you
The thrill of the chase
Hopeless case
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion

Play around and find out
I always get my way
You can scream and shout
But in the end you'll pay

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

I'll destroy your world
Without even blinking
And while you're shrinking
I'll be over here drinking

Not keeping the promises
See right through the disguises
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Oh, I've got seven ways to end you
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion

THE FIRE IN MY EYES 

In the night your touch
Haunts my mind
Do I miss you much
Well, yeah, you were my kind

Never met anyone like you before
Made my mind race
There was so much to explore
In my dreams I see your face

Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes
Carry on, forget the lies
The fire in my eyes
Carry on towards the skies
Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes

Now there's nothing to do
But to walk away
What you said is not true
Leading me astray 

I was trying to hold it together
While you made a pass 
Then the whole thing 
Broke like glass

Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes
Carry on, forget the lies
The fire in my eyes
Carry on towards the skies
Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes

Thought I needed you
Wanted you too
Now I refuse to feel blue
Time for horizons new 

When will I learn
Don't fall in love too soon
Trust must be earned
Then you can reach for the moon

Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes
Carry on, forget the lies
The fire in my eyes
Carry on towards the skies
Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes

In the night your touch
Still haunts my mind
The whole thing
Broke like glass
I know now
There's nothing to do
But to walk away

FLY 

I could feel the air shift
Now we're just adrift
Swallow your words right now
Don't ask me how 

Stop sugarcoating
Floating in your thoughts
Always showboating
Going at a rate of knots

Are you willing to fly
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly 

Promises are in the air
I see through the ruse
Nothing here is fair
Gonna light the fuse 

I'm seeing visions
Of skies so blue
But when the curtain falls
It's just me and you

Are you willing to fly
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly 

Your heart’s a masquerade
And I’m not gonna buy
I guess it was well played
But it was a temporary high

Calling me just as
I'd forgotten you
It was never going to last
I knew you were not true

Are you willing to fly
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly 

Are you willing to fly 
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly
