Atticus
Thinking of you is a poison I drink often
Breaking me down from the inside out
Lying with you's an addiction I can't quit
I tell myself no but my body tells me yes
And I knew it from the moment I first tasted your lips
When I look into your eyes I'm hypnotised
Oh you're no good for me but
I can't breathe when we're not close
I can't decide what's hurting me the most your ghost or that
I have come too far to turn back now
The way that I feel isn't right, isn't wrong, I'm just helpless
I'll regret if I do, I'll regret if I don't, so what use is this at all
I know I've made a mistake but you make me scream either way
And I can't turn back time
And I knew it from the moment I first tasted your lips
When I look into your eyes I'm hypnotised
Oh you're no good for me but
I can't breathe when we're not close
I can't decide what's hurting me the most your ghost or that
I have come too far to turn back now
And I knew it from the moment I first tasted your lips
When I look when I look into your eyes I'm hypnotised

Blame
Chasing you round in circles
Over and over
Reaching out for your touch
I’m lost and never found
And as I sit with my makeup on
Ready to go out alone I think of what I could’ve done to save this
If it’s not me, and it’s not you
Then who are we to blame
And it’s not fair you’re never there so you don’t feel this pain
I’m talking to myself again
Slept on the sofa
Just to hear the key turn
And you walk in
‘Cause I heard you
Whisper someone else’s name in your sleep
But it seems to be getting kind of quiet round here
If it’s not me, and it’s not you
Then who are we to blame
And it’s not fair you’re never there so you don’t feel this pain
If it’s not me, and it’s not you
Then who are we to blame
I trusted you, I trusted myself now we’ve lost this game
I never wanted to play
I never wanted to play
I never wanted to play
If it’s not me, and it’s not you
Then who are we to blame
And it’s not fair you’re never there so you don’t feel this pain
If it’s not me, and it’s not you
Then who are we to blame
I trusted you, I trusted myself, now we’ve lost this game
This game

Seasons
Wake me up in the morning
when the sun shines through
and the birds are calling out to you
Take me back
to the summer
Where the sky is blue
and the breeze is tickling you
I wanna take it back
To the way it used to be
I wanna love like I used to love
And i wanna dream like I used to dream
I wanna take it back
just a few seasons
So you can hold me in your arms
and I can breathe your love
Sweet red wine in the evening
Have a glass or two
but don’t let it run to your head my darling
or you’ll forget
the things you promised me
or you'll forget
That you said we’d take it back
To the way it used to be
So we can love like we used to love
And we can dream like we used to dream
I wanna take it back
just a few seasons
So you can hold me in your arms
and I can breathe your love… oh oh
Your… love…
Ohh..
I wanna take it back
To the way it used to be
So we can love like we used to love
And we can dream like we used to dream
I wanna take it back
just a few seasons
So you can hold me in your arms
and I can breathe your love
Oh I wanna breathe your love
​
Everything
Close your eyes
Wait for the nightmares to run and hide
And hold your breath
Soon all your fears will fade away
We all have our bad days
I out of anyone know
Things will get better
​
You can always rely on me, I will be there
Standing in the storm
The lightning won’t scare me away
I will hold you
Forever if you want me to
I will love you
With everything I can give
​
There’s no need
To suffer in silence in the dark
Can’t you see the moonlight
It’s the smile of the night watching over you
Stars are shining through your window
We all have our bad days
I out of anyone know
Things will get better
​
You can always rely on me, I will be there
Standing in the storm
The lightning won’t scare me away
I will hold you
Forever if you want me to
I will love you
With everything I can give
Close your eyes
Wait for the nightmares to run and hide
Close your eyes
Soon all your fears will fade away
​
Ropes
It’s happened again
I let another one fool me
As I lie with my head in the sky
carelessly watching the world go by
And the memories are bleeding
ink into the walls
through the cracks they’re seaping
there to remain
Though you’re not in the room
your shadow’s still creeping
Though you’re not cradling me
your love is still fixed upon my lips
How do I burn the ropes you tied
I can’t light the fire though I’ve tried
The spark it flickers and fades away
Then why did our love go up in flames
I thought it was real
the way it felt when you held me
As we climbed up a tree and we sheltered from the rain
I’d never felt so safe
Though you’re not in the room
your smell it still lingers
Though you’re not cradling me
your kiss is still fixed upon my skin
How do I burn the ropes you tied
I can’t light the fire though I’ve tried
The spark it flickers and fades away
Then why did our love go up in flames
Oh oh oh
How do I burn the ropes you tied
How do I burn the ropes you tied
How do I burn the ropes you tied
How do I burn the ropes you tied
​
Eyes
Let’s go to the river
and we’ll fall for the last time in love
You’ve already given me much,
much more than I deserve
Why do I deserve this
I am found when I look I your eyes
I’m already blinded by your love turn down the lights
And oh it took me far too long to realise
All I ever wanted, I needed
was you and I
Let’s go to the meadow
and we’ll dance in the moonlight
As the rain taps on our shoulders
and trickles down our cheeks as we come close
and you kiss me
I am found when I look I your eyes
I’m already blinded by your love turn down the lights
And oh it took me far too long to realise
All I ever wanted, I needed
was you and I
And I keep falling for you
I keep falling for you
I am found when I look I your eyes
I’m already blinded by your love turn down the lights
And oh it took me far too long to realise
All I ever wanted, I needed
was you and I
​
Louder
Tracing the ink on his skin with my fingers
Rain blowing wild outside
And although I didn’t feel scared to begin with
He made me feel safe by the way he
wouldn’t let me dance alone
We both know we committed a sin
But we never wanted to end
The beautiful mess we got in
And anytime you touch my hand
Anytime you catch my eye, I
Sink a little bit deeper
And anytime you kiss my neck
the voices in my head
get a little bit louder
Telling me no, no, no, no not again
The faint smell of cigarettes in his breath
when he came close
somehow made me feel warm
And the cheap wine
that we weren’t supposed to be drinking
Oh my God what were we thinking how’d we
end up like this
​
‘Cause anytime you touch my hand
Anytime you catch my eye, I
Sink a little bit deeper
And anytime you kiss my neck
the voices in my head
get a little bit louder
Telling me no, no, no, no not again
Telling me no, no, no, no not again
Telling me no, no, no, no not again
‘Cause anytime you touch my hand
Anytime you catch my eye, I
Sink a little bit deeper
And anytime you kiss my neck
the voices in my head
get a little bit louder
Telling me no, no, no, no not again
​
Treehouse
Let's go
Let's run away
Before we change our minds
Before it's too late
I wanna build a treehouse
With no electricity
Just a walk away, only a walk away from the beach
There'd be a hole in the roof
So we could watch the stars
And we could feel the rain soak our skin
​
And maybe you'll come with me and you'll be by me
By my side
​
And I wished
I wished my life away
I wanted to be older
I wanted to love you
Properly
Like they do in the movies
And now I know that it's not as good as it seems and I'm too young
And I'm too keen to see
That this isn't a fairytale
​
And lately I've been numb towards you
And I've been
Down and blue like I used to
And we've been
Fighting over nothing
It's not the same
As it was this time a year or so ago
​
So let's go
Let's run away
​
Let's go
Let's run away
Before we change our minds
Before it's too late
I wanna build a treehouse
Fairly close to the sea
Just a walk away
Only a walk away from the beach
There'd be a hole in the roof
So we could watch the stars
And we could feel the rain soak our skin
