Marionette

Walking alone down an endless road I was a dreamer with nowhere to go Trying to lift my heart from the shadows, Oh oh oh Day after day I was loosing myself Telling the world I was somebody else I put on a smile to disguise how I felt But I’d hit the floor and then You came along You climbed the walls And showed me how to fall Without any fear Then you came along We’re making all the right mistakes Cause it all just falls in place when you’re here And as my life kept passing me by Couldn’t find any reason to try Didn’t even have any tears left to cry, oh oh oh So I hid my soul in a secret place Deceiving myself that it would be safe Thought I could lock my emotions away But I had it all wrong ‘cause then You came along You climbed the walls And showed me how to fall Without any fear Then you came along We’re making all the right mistakes Cause it all just falls in place when you’re here When you’re here Now I am no longer alone Nothing to fear When you’re here, when you’re here Now it’s just us Oh it’s enough Feeling you near Then you came along We’re making all the right mistakes Cause it all just falls in place when you’re here You came along You climbed the walls And showed me how to fall Without any fear Then you came along We’re making all the right mistakes Cause it all just falls in place when you’re here When you’re here When you’re here When you’re here

Look at all this fortune that's around me Dream job dream car dream of a life Look at all these people that surround me Family and friends, the perfect guy Hey now bet you think it's so easy That people fall over to please me I never have to try So put me in a box like you think you know me Make it all up if it makes you happy I'll be your stereotype, your stereotype But you don't know a thing about me Call me what you want if it makes you feel strong Go ahead and judge cause you've never been wrong I'll be your stereotype, your stereotype But you don't know a thing about me You don't know a thing about me You don't know a thing about me Who am I to ever feel unhappy Who am I to have a sleepless night Who am I to get wound up and angry And feel like nothing's going right Hey now bet you think I've no problems I click my fingers and solve them And I never have to try So put me in a box like you think you know me Make it all up if it makes you happy I'll be your stereotype, your stereotype But you don't know a thing about me Call me what you want if it makes you feel strong Go ahead and judge cause you've never been wrong I'll be your stereotype, your stereotype But you don't know a thing about me You don't know a thing about me You don't know a thing about me You know the sun it don't always shine And I still have to fight To get through it all No I don't hold the world in my hands Things don't go how I plan I stumble and i fall Hey now bet you think it's so easy People fall over to please me I never have to try So put me in a box like you think you know me Make it all up if it makes you happy I'll be your stereotype, your stereotype But you don't know a thing about me Call me what you want if it makes you feel strong Go ahead and judge cause you've never been wrong I'll be your stereotype, your stereotype But you don't know a thing about me You don't know a thing about me You don't know a thing about me

Oh, I guess you made your choice Oh, and I’m left without a voice And though I try not to think about it, think about it There’s no way I can do without it, do without it I’m slipping back into a dream of us That’s how the days go on I know it isn’t real but I just can’t help Telling these stories to myself Don’t want to be alone in this fairytale Telling these stories to myself But if I don’t pretend That I’ll have you again Then this game is over So I keep spinning round in this carousel Telling these stories to myself Oh, I see you found someone Oh, Ι feel my heart beat like a drum And though I try not to think about it, think about it There’s no way I can do without it, do without it This fascination with the dream of us Because it’s all I’ve got I know it isn’t real but I just can’t help Telling these stories to myself Don’t want to be alone in this fairytale Telling these stories to myself But if I don’t pretend That I’ll have you again Then this game is over So I keep spinning round in this carousel Telling these stories to myself I’m on the floor hope you’re happy now, happy now But I still wait for you to come around, come around You keep me locked up in this dream of us And it goes on and on I know it isn’t real but I just can’t help Telling these stories to myself Don’t want to be alone in this fairytale Telling these stories to myself But if I don’t pretend That I’ll have you again Then this game is over So I keep spinning round in this carousel Telling these stories to myself Telling these stories to myself

Did you think we had it all back then? Now I'm letting go The end of an era And now you say you want to still be friends But you're hurting me It’s not that clear for me now Why do I have to stay strong When its you who's done wrong to me I should forgive but I can't Look at me with cold eyes, I'm done Now I'm moving on from the lies and the jealousy I start to fall into your arms But I keep falling ‘cause it’s all gone This kind of love, sets off alarms You want me only on your own terms I'll break away, I'll break these chains Your love's a prison I'll escape from So watch me leave if you can't change ‘Cause I can't love you on your own terms Now I've given all I can to you It’s not good enough You're never happy for me You say you listen but you never do ‘Cause if I start to talk Your eyes give your true thoughts away Now I'm gonna stay strong ‘Cause its you who's done wrong to me You want forgiveness, I can't No more tears in my eyes, I'm done Now I'm moving on I still want the best for you I start to fall into your arms But I keep falling ‘cause it’s all gone This kind of love, sets off alarms You want me only on your own terms I'll break away, I'll break these chains Your love's a prison I'll escape from So watch me leave if you can't change ‘Cause I can't love you on your own terms I know, the battle's all I can win The real fight is the war in your head I know the battle's all I can all I can win I start to fall into your arms But I keep falling ‘cause it’s all gone This kind of love, Sets off alarms, oh I start to fall into your arms But I keep falling ‘cause it’s all gone This kind of love, sets off alarms You want me only on your own terms I'll break away, I'll break these chains Your love's a prison I'll escape from So watch me leave if you can't change ‘Cause I can't love you on your own terms

When my thoughts get dark along the way When its all to much too handle and I'm blinded by the tears I can't conceal When I'm trapped in my own mind with no escape It’s like a battle always running round in circles standing still And when I break down lying on the floor I'm screaming on the inside You hear the call You fight through the fire and hurricanes Fly to the stars and back again You always find me, find me, find me Cause anywhere I fall, you come to get me Anywhere I fall, you come to get me When I'm wide awake through winter nights You wrap your arms around me hold me tight I know I'm safe to drift away When I try to overanalyse You stop me with your paralyzing smile I know it’s going to be ok And when I break down lying on the floor I'm screaming on the inside You hear the call You fight through the fire and hurricanes Fly to the stars and back again You always find me, find me, find me Cause anywhere I fall, you come to get me Anywhere I fall, you come to get me I know you’d move mountains for me Believe me I would do the same Before I hear you calling I'll be on my way I’ll fight through the fire and hurricanes I’ll fly to the stars and back again I’ll always find you Like you always find me Wherever I fall Wherever I fall You fight through the fire and hurricanes Fly to the stars and back again You always find me, find me, find me Cause anywhere I fall, you come to get me Anywhere I fall, you come to get me Anywhere I fall, you come to get me

Do you ever imagine that you're dust in the galaxy And it doesn't even matter What you say or what you do I drift through the city Like my life's happening without me Forever chasing after Dreams that won't come true Until now I've always been on the outside looking in And it never crossed my mind that you could give me everything But something happens when we touch And I become the center of the universe The center of the universe You and me it's only us At the centre of the universe Now the world spins around me All the stars at my command Feeling higher than heavens Every time we start to kiss And everything’s changing But I don't need to understand The sun's never setting When we’re together like this Until now I've always been on the outside looking in But something happens when we touch And I become the center of the universe The center of the universe You and me it's only us At the centre of the universe I just want to stay up here all the time Lying here watching the stars align Reality is a million miles away I never thought that I'd ever see this place Something happens when we touch Like you and I we rise above And nothing seems impossible Cause we become the centre of the universe But something happens when we touch And I become the center of the universe The center of the universe You and me it's only us At the centre of the universe

Locked in a castle created in your own mind With a dragon by your side Don’t wanna let people pass through the gateways But if they do they end up tied ‘cause you – you don’t wanna get out And I – I should’ve never walked in Now – I need to try and escape Your black dragon’s roar is so loud But its flames won’t burn me down I know I’m getting out Your blackmail won’t let us survive Fight away, from your life I’ll leave you in your castle Black dragon’s tail knocked me out But its flames won’t burn me down Its flames won’t burn me down Walking through the corridors Haunted by your ghost I’d forgotten who I was You were breathing from my lungs Left in your dungeon You didn’t even visit once You – You don’t wanna get out I – I should’ve never walked in Now – I need to try and escape Your black dragon’s roar is so loud But its flames won’t burn me down I know I’m getting out Your blackmail won’t let us survive Fight away, from your life I’ll leave you in your castle Black dragon’s tail knocked me out But its flames won’t burn me down Oh – the dragon’s guarding your gates Oh – won’t even let you out Oh – cause you don’t wanna be saved Oh – I had to walk away Your black dragon’s roar is so loud But its flames won’t burn me down I know I’m getting out Your blackmail won’t let us survive Fight away, from your life I’ll leave you in your castle Black dragon’s tail knocked me out But its flames won’t burn me down Won’t burn me down Its flames won’t burn me down

4am we're holding off sunrise Not tired and not feeling the cold Just looking out of our snow globe Cause you and me we've got our own world Across the street they're having a party We don't mind, we don't hear it at all Cause we're listening to a symphony of raindrops You and me we've got our own world Don't need expensive things There is no game to win Don't need to live like kings To be complete Cause if we ever lost it all We'd still have a place to call home Now the tv flickers in silence With the promise of glitter and gold But we only see our reflections Cause you and me we've got our own world Don't need expensive things There is no game to win Don't need to live like kings To be complete There's nowhere else I need to go Cause with you I have it all 4am we’re holding off sunrise

We’re all stirred up and restless Been looking for release A feeling to leave us breathless, breathless There’s been something missing from our lives A heart's unwritten page But we've turned our faces to the light And now we're wide awake Let’s go chase the night from dusk till dawn Rising up ‘cause we've been down for too long Hold me close nothing will ever go wrong We're alive again, we're alive again We're alive again, we're alive again Nothing can contain us We're heading for the stars The energy is endless, endless It was all confusing at the start When we were just a sketch But now we brighten up the dark With the colours we express Let’s go chase the night from dusk till dawn Rising up ‘cause we've been down for too long Hold me close nothing will ever go wrong We're alive again, we're alive again We're alive again, we're alive again Do whatever we want just let it out Cause the thrill is intoxicating I don't care what they say about us now We were made for this moment So let’s go chase the night from dusk till dawn Rising up ‘cause we've been down for too long Hold me close nothing will ever go wrong We're alive again, we're alive again Let’s go chase the night from dusk till dawn Rising up ‘cause we've been down for too long Hold me close nothing will ever go wrong We're alive again, we're alive again Let’s go chase the night from dusk till dawn Rising up ‘cause we've been down for too long Hold me close nothing will ever go wrong We're alive again, we're alive again
