Trouble

You set the bar and made it higher by far
Since you whispered 'I am yours my dear'.
And I walked away 'cos I've never been so afraid
Of losing my love to another saint.
But I warned you
Yes I told you
I was trouble
I was trouble for you
I can't perceive the sweet feeling of relief
That flows through my veins and ceases to refrain.
You turned your face so I wouldn't feel so betrayed
But those feelings grew greater with our age.

What Did You Expect

What did you expect to happen here
You smothered yourself with your own fear
And hid it in some tiny little box
While I was sat there hoping it was lost.
Well you tried to hide from your own family
So I told them you were lost far out at sea
But I think they saw right through me
'Cos I'm no good at lying you see.

The One Thing

I will leave with a suitcase in my hand
And I will never ever come back.
I will leave this god forsaken place
The place that I disgrace.
But the one thing that keeps me from leaving is you
And you no longer obscure my view.
I will leave and never return
Without the knowledge that I must learn.
I will never return here alone
To this town which was once my home.
But the one thing that keeps me from leaving is you
And you no longer obscure my view.
Found the one damn person that makes me feel alright
But I am steadily losing my sight.

It’s a masterfully mesmerising sound from a truly original singer/songwriter.' - Surroundedby ... more
