NO BRAINS
V1
You say that i’m too different and that’s that,
but you speak with your mind closed and I don’t like that.
If the roles were reversed and the tables were turned, would you look at me in the same way?
No, I didn’t think so, you’re too blind to know so.
CHORUS
If the sky was turned to yellow, wouldn’t matter it works the same way.
But of course, you’re too damn shallow, going on and on about it all day.
Ahh well it’s easy enough for you to say, when you don’t think about it in my way.
V1
You say that you are level headed and that’s a fact,
but you’ve proven that the truth is something you lack.
If you knew what it’s like, being judged all your life, would you see me any differently?
No, I didn’t think so, you’re too blind to know so.
CHORUS
If the sky was turned to yellow, wouldn’t matter it works the same way.
But of course, you’re too damn shallow, going on and on about it all day.
Ahh well it’s easy enough for you to say, when you don’t think about it in my way.
BRIDGE
And oh, I’ve tried to help you realise that what you did could have offended the whole of the human kind.
But what if it all changed and everything never looked the same? Then who would you blame?
CHORUS
If the sky was turned to yellow, wouldn’t matter it works the same way.
But of course, you’re too damn shallow, going on and on about it all day.
If the sky was turned to yellow, wouldn’t matter it works the same way.

SOMEONE ELSE
V1
Let me lay on your shoulder.
Let me see through your eyes.
Another point of view, so why don’t you let me in,
to see the screaming color through the clouds in the sky.
CHORUS
Oh, how I’d love to be someone else just for a day, to see what it’s like to life and go about that way.
Oh, how I’d love to see life through a new set of eyes, if I were you if I were you, that would be nice.
V2
Let me slip into your perfect world.
Let me see what it’d be like.
Take my mind, take it far away for a day,
and replace it for a new set of eyes.
CHORUS
Oh, how I’d love to be someone else just for a day, to see what it’s like to life and go about that way.
Oh, how I’d love to see life through a new set of eyes, if I were you if I were you, that would be nice.
OOOOoooOOoOoOoO
CHORUS
Oh, how I’d love to be someone else just for a day, to see what it’s like to life and go about that way.
Oh, how I’d love to see life through a new set of eyes, if I were you if I were you, that would be nice.

COUNTING THE STARS
V1
Give me your attention, look me in the eye and relieve my tension.
And give me your affection, any time, any place, all the take we can waste.
And oh, my arms are open wide, just waiting for you to let yourself inside.
CHORUS
But I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again.
I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again.
Sleepless nights my restless mind won’t shut up.
So, I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again,
to get some rest, to get some rest.
V2
Show me, some direction.
Give me a sign and tell me how to get there.
And give me something to hold on to.
Something I’ve never felt before you.
Oh, my arms are open wide, just waiting for you to let yourself inside.
CHORUS
But I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again.
I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again.
Sleepless nights my restless mind won’t shut up.
So, I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again,
to get some rest, to get some rest.

Oh, you’re killing me, just take the wheel, show me your world and show me that it’s real but until then I’ll be counting the stars.
And show me a place where nobody cares, and nobody stares but until then I’ll be counting the stars. To get some rest.
CHORUS
I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again.
I’ll be counting the stars, counting the stars again.
Sleepless nights my restless mind won’t shut up.

THE REAL REASON
V1
She was dancing round in her living room.
She had no idea that’s she’s so beautiful,
and her eyes always seemed to be wondering about something.
And she always knew what she was talking ‘bout and she understood what love was about, but her eyes always seemed to be wondering about something.
PRE
She looked me in the eye and said, “I don’t ever want you to forget this smile of mine”
So, I took her by the hands, so weak that I could barely speak when she smiled like that.
CHORUS
But when she goes, will I ever know, will I ever know the real reason.
She’s said it all, but will I ever know, will I really ever know the real reason.
V2
He was standing there surrounded by the guys, fingers through his hair oh I was hypnotized, and I was high off the feeling that I felt when he was around me.
And when he spoke to me, his words were meaningful but as hard as I tried, couldn’t connect anymore, but I was high off the feeling that I felt when he was around me.
PRE
So, I looked him in the eyes and said I don’t ever want you to forget this smile of mine.
But what he didn’t see was that it was all falling apart; this little world of mine.
CHORUS
But when I go, will I ever know, will I ever
(when she goes, will I ever know, will I ever)
know the real reason.
(know the real reason.)
I’ve said it all, but will I ever know, will I
(she’s said it all, will I ever know, will I)
really ever know the real reason.
(really ever know the real reason.)
the real reason...
PRE
I looked him in the eye and said, “I don’t ever want you to forget this smile of mine”
But what he didn’t see was just how much he meant to me and it kills me every time.
But when I go, will I ever know, will I ever know the real reason?
She’s said it all, but will she ever know,
will I really ever know the real reason?
(will she really ever know the real reason?)
CHORUS
But when I go, will I ever know, will I ever
(when she goes, will I ever know, will I ever)
know the real reason.
(know the real reason.)
I’ve said it all, but will I ever know, will I
(she’s said it all, will I ever know, will I)
really ever know the real reason.
(really ever know the real reason.) .....

NUMB
V1
Sitting there, across the room, a smile of my face.
A wall of fire between us, a million miles of space,
that separates the two of us, but once the damage is done,
once the sides collide and the sparks fly, all I can feel is numb.
CHORUS
And words can’t describe what I feel anymore.
Let me be numb for a little while, let me be sore.
“Let the world keeping on spinning” they say, but all I need is time, to let me be numb for a little while, then maybe I’ll be fine.
V2
We’d run around holding hands, a smile of our faces.
We’d stay up all night talking and spend our days laughing.
We said that nothing would come between us and nothing would ever change,
but you went your way and I went mine when all I needed was for you to stay.
CHORUS
And words can’t describe what I feel anymore.
Let me be numb for a little while, let me be sore.
“Let the world keeping on spinning” they say, but all I need is time, to let me be numb for a little while, then maybe I’ll be fine.
BRIDGE
But maybe there a glimmer of hope.
A beaming light within the lies we told.
And maybe we could never be as close, no...
But where were you when I needed you the most.
CHORUS
And words can’t describe what I feel anymore.
Let me be numb for a little while, let me be sore.
“Let the world keeping on spinning” they say, but all I need is time, to let me be numb for a little while, then maybe I’ll be fine.

SECRETS
V1
Tell me, do I look guilty?
And tell me, do you notice that i’m shaking?
Wish I didn’t end up here, wish I could walk away, but i’m in too deep.
Now I spend all my time trina’, get it all out of my mind, but i’m in too deep.
CHORUS
All these secrets that we keep, too much to keep the demons asleep.
Coming back to haunt us eventually, and make the world fall at our feet.
All these secrets.
V2
Tell me, do you notice that i’m stuttering?
And tell me, do you notice my heart racing?
Wish I could walk away and forget everything, but i’m in too deep.
Now I spend all my time, getting it out of my mind, but i’m in too deep.
CHORUS
All these secrets that we keep, too much to keep the demons asleep.
Coming back to haunt us eventually, and make the world fall at our feet.
All these secrets.
Ohh, all these secrets.
Ohh...
BRIDGE
And oh, it wasn’t so easy, it wasn’t so easy.
And oh, oh please, oh please, oh please forgive me.
But oh, just remember, remember, remember this one thing,
that, oh, I would keep these secrets if you just accept me.
CHORUS
All these secrets that we keep, too much to keep the demons asleep.
Coming back to haunt us eventually, and make the world fall at our feet.
All these secrets that we keep, too much to keep the demons asleep.
Coming back to haunt us eventually, and make the world fall at our feet.
All these secrets.
Ohh, all these secrets.
Ohh...

SHE TRIES TOO HARD
V1
She, she looks so picture perfect.
She’s got an attitude but they overlook it.
All day strutting round like she owns it.
She’s the talk of the town, she already knows it.
Burning all her friendships to ashes.
Hiding her red eyes with her fake eyelashes.
But beneath the piercings and the orange skin,
is a girl who needs a little company.
And ohh
CHORUS
Trying so hard, now she’s run down, now she’s the talk of the town.
And ohh
Her reputations on the line, her running makeup drowns her smile.
V2
She, she looked so picture perfect,
but these days she tends to overdo it.
At night hanging ‘round where no one she’s her.
Well she’s the talk of the town and she already knows it.
And ohh
CHORUS
Trying so hard, now she’s run down, now she’s the talk of the town.
And ohh
Her reputations on the line, her running makeup drowns her smile.
BRIDGE
But it’s what they don’t see behind closed doors, that’s awaiting her for when she gets home.
There a million places she’d rather be.
And ohh
Trying so hard, now she’s run down, now she’s the talk of the town
CHORUS
Trying so hard, now she’s run down, now she’s the talk of the town.
And ohh
Her reputations on the line, her running makeup drowns her smile.
And ohh
Her reputations on the line, her running makeup drowns her smile.

BREAK MY HEART
V1
Find the strength to get back on your own two feet.
Don’t you worry, hears my voice, you can listen to me.
I’m pouring it out so you can heal.
I’m letting it out but you don’t hear.
Find the strength to get back on your own two feet.
You need to learn how to cope when you’re without me.
I’m pouring it out but it ain’t easy.
Letting it out when you don’t see.
CHORUS
But if I let you in, don’t break my heart again.
I know you’re weak but so am I, you’ve taken my strength and all my pride.
So, if I let you in, you may as well just break my heart again.
V2
Just find the heart to admit that you were wrong,
and I’ll apologize too and we can move on.
But now that you’re back I can’t escape.
This so-called love was a mistake.
CHORUS
But if I let you in, don’t break my heart again.
I know you’re weak but so am I, you’ve taken my strength and all my pride.
So, if I let you in, you may as well just break my heart again.
BRIDGE
But now that you’re here again, all of the time we spend apart suddenly disappeared.
But now that you’re working your, working your way back in, maybe I should just disappear.
But if I let you in, don’t break my heart again.
I know you’re weak but so am I, you’ve taken my strength and all my pride.
CHORUS
But if I let you in, don’t break my heart again.
I know you’re weak but so am I, you’ve taken my strength and all my pride.
So, if I let you in, you may as well just break my heart again.

STUPID GAME OF YOURS
V1
In and on, what’s that all about?
Better make up your mind.
And even though I’ve been here for so long, I don’t have the time anymore.
And even though it rains on the other side, I’d enjoy it much more if you weren’t by my side.
And even though it hurts so bad, without you hear the hurt could never last.
CHORUS
So I said “What’s it all for? And what did I tell you from the start? Don’t wanna play this part.”
And now you got me singing “What’s it all for? Don’t wanna play this part, in this stupid game of yours.”
V2
Up and down your emotions go, better figure you shhh out.
And even though it’s all for show, got our attention there’s no doubt.
And even know the grass ain’t always green on the other side, everything heals with just the right amount of time.
And even know it hurts so bad, without you hear the hurt could never last.
CHORUS
So I said “What’s it all for? And what did I tell you from the start? Don’t wanna play this part.”
And now you got me singing “What’s it all for? Don’t wanna play this part, in this stupid game of yours.”
La La La’s
CHORUS
And now you got me singing “What’s it all for? And what did I tell you from the start? Don’t wanna play this part.”

LUISE
V1
Luise, what are you doing to me?
Can’t seem to get you off my mind.
Luise, what are you saying to me?
How are you speaking through your eyes?
CHORUS
But this, this isn’t a love song ‘cause I got it all wrong,
but what am I to do when my head just isn’t screwed on straight Luise?
This isn’t a love song ‘cause you wouldn’t want one,
but what am I to do when i’m catching feelings fast for you Luise?
V2
Luise, what are you doing to me?
You call me in the night time when my voice just doesn’t sound quite right.
Luise, I think you’re messing with me!
So caught up in the future and how you’ll surely break my heart in two.
CHORUS
But this, this isn’t a love song ‘cause I got it all wrong,
but what am I to do when my head just isn’t screwed on straight Luise?
This isn’t a love song ‘cause you wouldn’t want one,
but what am I to do when i’m catching feelings fast for you Luise?
BRIDGE
But what should I call us? This labelling seems so complicated.
And what might people think of us?
Are we making this too obvious?
What should they call us? This labelling seems so mandatory, ‘cause what might people think of us?
Is my affection towards you too obvious Luise?
CHORUS
This isn’t a love song ‘cause I got it all wrong,
but what am I to do when my head just isn’t screwed on straight Luise?
This isn’t a love song ‘cause you wouldn’t want one,
but what am I to do when i’m catching feelings fast for you Luise?

MOVIE
V1
Another day, there goes another one so sweet and care free, straight out the window and you wonder why it’s all crumbling down.
Another day, all eyes on you and now you can’t escape, stuck in a film but still you wonder why it’s all crumbling down.
CHORUS
Say the words and I’ll let go, but you’ll take everything and I’ll never know, that you’ve been gone for so long, and you left me writing this song.
But say the words and I’ll give up, but I’ll break everything until you show up, but you’ve been gone for so long, and you left me writing this song.
V2
Every day, back and forth you’re throwing your dignity, down the drain but still you wonder why it’s all crumbling down.
At the end of the day, you’re holding onto a thread but it’s starting to fray, and yet you wonder why it’s all crumbling down.
CHORUS
Say the words and I’ll let go, but you’ll take everything and I’ll never know, that you’ve been gone for so long, and you left me writing this song.
But say the words and I’ll give up, but I’ll break everything until you show up, but you’ve been gone for so long, and you left me writing this song.
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like...
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like...
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like...
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like,
it would go something like...
CHORUS
Say the words and I’ll let go, but you’ll take everything and I’ll never know, that you’ve been gone for so long, and you left me writing this song.
But say the words and I’ll give up, but I’ll break everything until you show up, but you’ve been gone for so long, and you left me writing this song.
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like...
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like...
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like...
In your movie, it would go something like, it would go something like,
it would go something like this.

V1
Oh Ellanore, staring at the floor, where do you hide, my love?
Those sunken eyes, oh tears please dry, where do you hide your heart?
CHORUS
If the sky is starting to fall, holding your breath won’t fix it at all, but I will get you through it Ellanore.
And if the ground where your gaze did belong was to crumble right under your feet, oh, i’m always here to catch you when you fall.
Oh Ellanore...
V2
Oh Ellanore, back against the wall, have you learnt how to speak?
But in the corner of my curious eye, I thought I saw you fly!
CHORUS
If the sky is starting to fall, holding your breath won’t fix it at all, but I will get you through it Ellanore.
And if the ground where your gaze did belong was to crumble right under your feet, oh, but you can float away, Ellanore.
Oh Ellanore...
Oh Ellanore...
Oh Ellanore...
Oh Ellanore...
And if the sky is starting to fall, holding your breath won’t fix it at all, but I will get you through it Ellanore
