Paloma Faith - Fall To Grace (2012)
01. Picking Up The Pieces
Do you think of her
When you're with me
Repeat the memories you made together
Whose face do you see?
Do you wish I was a bit more like her
Am I too loud, I play the clown
To cover up all these doubts
Perfect heart, she's flawless
She's the other woman, shining in
Her splendour, you were lost
Now she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry
But you don't see
That I'm the one by your side.
'Cause she's gone
In her shadow is it me you see
'Cause all that's left is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces
She left behind
I found a photograph
Behind the TV
You look so happy are you missing, the way it used be
And I have changed this room around more often lately
It's clear that me and these four walls
Still know its Hers and Yours
Perfect heart, she's flawless
She's the other woman, shining in
Her splendour, you were lost
Now she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry
But you don't see
That I'm the one by your side
'Cause she's gone
In her shadow is it me you see
'Cause all that's left is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces
She left behind
Are we liars in denial
Are we smoke without the fire
Tell me please, is this worth it
I deserve it
'Cause she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry
But you don't see that I'm the one by your side
'Cause she's gone
In her shadow is it me you see
'Cause all that's left is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces
She left behind
02. 30 Minute Love Affair
30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry
Runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair
The city led me out one night
Through lonely streets and neon light
Searching
Again
I met a stranger singing songs
Sat in that doorway I belonged
With him
Just talking.
He was so beautiful there in my dreams
I left my heart and my memories
30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry
Runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair
He told me he'd be there tomorrow
I knew where he led I would follow
I flew
And he knew
When I went back he had disappeared
My hopeful smile had turned to tears
Let down
No sight nor sound
Sometimes it's better just to let them go
'Cause your illusion's more than what you could know.
30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry
Runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair
Falling from the sky for him I'll never
Regret it
He took my breath away
And although it was the shortest time
I'll never forget it
He gave me such a beautiful lie
Oh my
30 minute love affair
All in the blink of an eye
There you were standing there
I heard an angel cry
Runaway lover
I soon discovered
It was best when we left it
Now I'll never forget it
It was best when we left it
Now I'll never forget it
Our 30 minute love affair
30 minute love affair
Our 30 minute love affair.
03. Black & Blue
I know a man who fills his emptiness
with strangers
I know a girl who drinks herself to
sleep at night
You can't change her
I know people who use chat rooms as
confessionals
I know down and outs who once were,
once they were professionals
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet
I know a single mother who loses
her mind
On weekends
She pleads with lady luck on scratch
cards with money lent to her
By old friends
I know people who take midnight
drives for head space
I know they'd give for just one
loving embraces
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet
We're just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you'll find it hard
to accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet
I know a rich man who has everything
you could wish for
But children
I know an old lady who talks a lot but
could teach you
If you listen
I know people who believe in gods and demons
I know ones who think there's nothing
there at all
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet
We're just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you'll find it hard
to accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don't roll your eyes my sweet.
04. Just Be
Let's get old together
Let's be unhappy forever
Cause there's no one in this world
That I'd rather be unhappy with
Let's be exposed and unprotected
Let's see one another when we're weak
Let's go our separate ways in the night
like two moths
But know that you're flying home to me.
I was born thinking
It would all be dreamy
But I know that I wouldn't be happy
that way
You wear me out with frustration and
heartache and anger
But we wait for the wave to wash it away
Don't say nothing
Just sit next to me
Don't say nothing
shhh
Just be, just be, just be.
Let's let go together
Let us unfold one another
And watch all the little things that
once drew me to you
Eventually get on my nerves
I wear you out with frustration
and heartache and anger
But we wait for the wave just to wash it away
Don't say nothing
Just sit next to me
Don't say nothing
shhh
Just be, just be, just be.
When you're sick of the everyday
When you're tired of my voice
When you tell me
You'll walk out that door
That's when I know that you'll stay.
Don't say nothing
Just sit next to me
Don't say nothing
just be, just be
Just don't say nothing
Just sit next to me,
say nothing
Just be, just be, just be.
Don't say nothing
shhhhh.
05. Let Me Down Easy
Let me down easy
All your love for me is gone
Let me down easy
Since you feel to stay is wrong
I know it's not over
But the last goodbye, oh woahhhh
Let me down easy
When you pass by me babe
Say hello once in a while
When you pass by me baby baby
Does it hurt so much to smile?
We promised that we'd still be friends
Till the very, very end
I'm begging you baby please
Let me down easy
I remember our first time
It was so nice dear
I never thought we'd have to part
But now it's all over
But the last goodbye
I'm telling you baby please
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
06. Blood, Sweat & Tears
You tell me I'm a handful,
But believe me I know,
My worst audience is my mirror,
I put on quite a show.
Don't think you're perfect either,
But I love you anyway,
It takes two imperfect people,
To dance a sweet ballet.
Oh if you lost your way,
And it drove you crazy,
You would still have me, we work together you see,
Blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
I know sometimes it will hurt,
And you wanna hate me,
But we can conquer the world, leave our footprints on earth,
We'll put in blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
I know it will never be easy,
We'll become raddled, and drown in our own sorrow,
But I know that it all will be worth it,
If you don't believe then I'll be shouting,
No, no, no!
You think that you're my shadow,
But you're glittering like gold,
And when I take my mask off,
It's you I want to hold,
I thank you for your patience,
But I am patient too,
I will hold you up when you fall down,
Even if you say I'm rude.
Oh if you lost your way,
And it drove you crazy,
You would still have me, we work together you see,
Blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
I know sometimes it will hurt,
And you wanna hate me,
But we can conquer the world, leave our footprints on earth,
We'll put in blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
I know it will never be easy,
We'll become raddled, and drown in our own sorrow,
But I know that it all will be worth it,
If you don't believe then I'll be shouting,
No, no, no!
Oh if you lost your way,
And it drove you crazy,
You would still have me, we work together you see,
Blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
Oh if you lost your way,
And it drove you crazy,
You would still have me, we work together you see,
Blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
I know sometimes it will hurt,
And you wanna hate me,
But we can conquer the world, leave our footprints on earth,
We'll put in blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears.
07. Beauty Of The End
I miss you in the mornings
Been up all night
Delicately whisper
I'll be alright
Maybe someone else'll bring a passion
Out of you that I never saw
I am torn and raw.
I miss you in the moments
When it all stops
Listen to the silence
That hurts my heart
Maybe someday we will meet again
And not turn back
Now our love turns to black.
So I write this letter
That I'll never send
Just so I remember
The beauty of the end
And I write this letter
To my long lost friend
So it stays with me forever,
The beauty of the end.
Falling never hurts but landing does.
I miss you when I'm laughing
You're very near
But then I open up my eyes
And you're not here.
Maybe one day you will understand
That I had to
I did it all for you.
So I write this letter
That I'll never send
Just so I remember
The beauty of the end
And I write this letter
To my long lost friend
So it stays with me forever,
The beauty of the end.
Falling never hurts but landing does.
And I'm just as scared as you about
This freedom
But I need to run with the wind
And I know right now you think there
Is no reason
But you'll see
Nothing in life is easy.
So I write this letter
That I'll never send
Just so I remember
The beauty of the end
And I write this letter
To my long lost friend
So it stays with me forever,
The beauty of the end.
Falling never hurts but landing does.
08. When You're Gone
When I'm with you my heart sings
All the joy and everything
Washes over me and cleans me 'til I'm shining
For your touch there are no words
I fly with high hopes and the birds
And I know there's nothing better 'cause I'm smiling
Everyone I've ever loved has left me lonely
Every time I let it go I'm high and dry
Every time I think I'm one and only
I find myself alone not knowing why
All the mystery and the magic
You light up what once was tragic
And I know that I will miss you when you're gone
I could never have imagined
Oh the heavens pour with passion
But I know that I will miss you when you're gone
You tell me that you are different
I'll be saved and I'll be lifted
It's not easy but I'm trying to believe you
All the angels lost their halos
I have no choice but to let go
There are times when I feel paper thin and see-through
Everyone I've ever loved has left me lonely
Every time I let it go I'm high and dry
Every time I think I'm one and only
I find myself alone not knowing why
All the mystery and the magic
You light up what once was tragic
And I know that I will miss you when you're gone
I could never have imagined
All the heavens pour with passion
But I know that I will miss you when you're gone
When you're gone, you're gone
Everyone I've ever loved has left me lonely
Every time I let it go I'm high and dry
All the mystery and the magic
You light up what once was tragic
And I know that I will miss you when you're gone
I could never have imagined
All the heavens pour with passion
But I know that I will miss you when you're gone
When you're gone
You're gone
When I'm with you my heart sings of a joy
And everything..
And I know that I will miss you when you're gone.
09. Agony
Use me take me home and use me
Press your hands against my body
You'll be my sorrow
We both know it shows
Push me
Make me feel I'm weightless
Running
We will not escape this
Shake this
You'll be addicted.
This is agony
But it's still a thrill for me
This could end in tragedy
Pour yourself all over
Oh, no time to waste
Let's fall from grace.
Save me
Save me with your kisses
Give me
The angels and their whispered wishes
I won't fall down
My soul is bound.
This is agony
But it's still a thrill for me
This could end in tragedy
Pour yourself all over
Oh, this is agony
But it's still a thrill for me
This could end in tragedy
Pour yourself all over
Oh, no time to waste
Let's fall from grace.
Everyone says you're bad for my head
But I'm in denial
One look at your face
I'm back in that place
I'm feeling the fire
This is agony, this is agony.
This is agony
But it's still a thrill for me
This could end in tragedy
Pour yourself all over
Oh, this is agony
But it's still a thrill for me
This could end in tragedy
Pour yourself all over
Oh, no time to waste
Let's fall from grace.
10. Let Your Love Walk In
I long for something simple
I long for something real
Will this heart heal?
Oh all my life been searchin'
It feels like I'm still lookin'
Oh I can feel...
And though I'm in a crowded room
But I feel lonely now
I know you're on your way
Though I don't see you now
So Cupid take your aim and open fire
Darlin' if you hold me, take it slowly, I
will let your love walk in
Yes I will let your love come in
Darlin' I grow weary
Please won't you save me
I've closed too many doors
But I wanna let your love walk in
tonight
Afraid I am too broken
Afraid I can't be free
Oh the past bleeds
Defined by misdemeanours
Made up of my regrets
My memories
And though I'm in a crowded room
But I feel lonely now
I know you're on your way
Though I don't see you now
So Cupid take your aim and open fire
Darlin' if you hold me, take it slowly, I
will let your love walk in
Yes I will let your love come in
Darlin' I grow weary
Please won't you save me
I've closed too many doors
But I wanna let your love walk in
tonight
When I'm dancin' on the rooftops
Come and find me
When I'm shattered and I seem lost
Oh take my hand
When I'm filled with joy and all you
hear is laughter
Come and find me oh take my hand
Darlin' if you hold me, take it slowly, I
will let your love walk in
Yes I will let your love come in
Darlin' I grow weary
Please won't you save me
I've closed too many doors
But I wanna let your love walk in
tonight
I need you to hold me
Come on darlin'
I want you to hold me
Let your love walk in
Let your love walk in tonight
11. Freedom
If you left me
How could I go on?
If you walked away from me baby
All the right would turn wrong
I've had too many heartaches
For my blistering hands
But I know your my calling to the promise land
You're the one who runs through my veins
Like a hurricane
You lift the hurt I've felt before
You and me could own this earth
Ditch the dust and dirt
Light up this city with our
Freedom
I fall to grace and into your arms
Cause we got freedom
You've stolen the dark
And turned it to stars
So won't you stay here
Hold my hand for a while
Tell me you won't be leaving
Tell me you'll walk that mile
'Cause I've never felt like this
Darling you set me free
And I'll shout it from rooftops
I am you, you are me
You're the one who runs through my veins
Like a hurricane
You lift the hurt I've felt before
You and me could own this earth
Ditch the dust and dirt
Light up this city with our
Freedom
I fall to grace and into your arms
'Cause we got freedom
You've stolen the dark
And turned it to stars
I will never leave you stranded
Baby you're the one I need
You found me in the gutter
I was lost now I believe
But let me keep you
Say you'll stay and then you'll kiss me
And say it again
Freedom
I fall to grace and into your arms
'Cause we got freedom
You've stolen the dark
And turned it to stars
You give me Freedom
I fall to grace and into your arms
'Cause we got freedom
You've stolen the dark
And turned it to stars
You give me Freedom
12. Streets Of Glory
There's no angels left in this scene
We both landed somewhere
in between
You can't teach 'cause you'll never
learn
There's nothing left, there's no return
The more you talk the less it means
And what I want's not what I need
While we're flesh and blood and I
still bleed
I know you're bad for me
But maybe on the streets of glory
I'll see you on the streets of glory
It may hurt to leave but it's worse to
hold your hand
The shattered glass it falls upon places
where you stand
I will be your memento mori
While you hide behind all your made
up stories
The more you talk the less it means
And what I want's not what I need
While we're flesh and blood and I
still bleed
I know you're bad for me
But maybe on the streets of glory
I'll see you on the streets of glory
Maybe one day
I see you on those streets
All those glittering streets
Streets of glory
And you'll take my hand
Take me down to the river
Wash my sins away
And you come with me
Won't you take my hand
Meet me on the streets of glory
I'll see you on the streets of glory
13. Never Tear Us Apart
Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live for a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart
I, I was standing
(Don't ask me)
I was standing
(You know it's true)
You were there
(Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
(We're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
You, you were standing
(Don't ask me)
(You know it's true)
I was there
(Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
(We're shining through)
And they could never ever ever tear us apart
I, I was standing
