Rumer Album

I lost my heart
I didn't know what to do
I was so caught in this misunderstanding
I took it all out on you
Cause I didn't like the world
I didn't like the world

I lost my heart
I sat on my window and looked out and
watched the rain wash down the street
Oh will the sun rise
Like the birds that fly over
Rising up through the trees

Will you be there for me
Will you belong to me
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?

Cause I didn't like the world
I didn't like the world

If I should let you go
There would be nothing
And silently
Love would be sown
And I could begin again
Can we begin again?

Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?
Am I forgiven?

Cause I didn't like the world

Am I forgiven
Am I forgiven
Am I forgiven
Am I forgiven

Cause I didn't like the world

Am I forgiven
Am I forgiven
Am I forgiven
Am I forgiven

Am I forgiven
Am I forgiven
(Fade)

Come to me high
Come to me restless
Come to me cold
Come to me helpless
Defenceless
When you're on your own
(When you're alone in your room)

???? is here at your ????
But, darling, love is just one of those things you have to ask for

Come to me high
Come to me restless
Come to me cold
Come to me helpless
Defenceless
When you're on your own

I see ????
Just like the sun, can't touch the moon
Give me ???? given to me
And forget the way down
Forget the way ????

You make me want to sing about love
Every time I raise my head
You make me want to tell the whole world
What I've found is good

Then they say
Slow
Slow this right down
Don't burn it out
Don't let it show
Slow
Oh but my heart is racing
To hold your gaze and
let it go

My love, my love my love
killin' time is easy when you're here
From dreams I've seen you before
You're so familiar
And everywhere I go
Hear me calling for your love
Cause if it's you
I will disarm you
And if it's you
Do you know how to calm me down
Oh let me sleep in your arms
Then I won't hear them singing

Slow
Slow this right down
Don't burn it out
Don't let it show
Slow
Oh but my heart is racing
to hold your gaze then
let it go

You make me want to sing about love
Even though you don't wanna know
You make me want to tell the whole world
But I know
You don't like it
You don't like it
You don't like it

Is there a place where all that I've lost
will be returned to me?
And is there a day the souls that I pray to
Are coming back for me?
Don't tell me it's alright, It'll never be alright
Why don't you come, why don't you come back
I need a love that's unconditional
Why don't you try to understand?
Why don't you come, why don't you come back
If this love is unconditional
Why dont you take me as I am?
Just take me as I am

The love that I seek is it hidden beneath
a wound that won't bleed?
Look is there something you wnat is there something you need from me
Cuase I tell you now these hands are empty
And it aches in my bones to be here on my own without it
Watching the love that I'm craving getting further away
the more that I want it.

I got Aretha in the Morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

Momma she'd notice but she's always crying
I got no-one to confide in
Aretha, nobody but you

Momma she'd notice but she's always fighting
something in her mind
and it sounds like breaking glass

I tell Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

You got the words
Baby you got the words
You got the words
Baby you got the words

Aretha, Aretha I don't want to go to school
Cause they just don't understand
And I think the place is cruel

Child singer, raise your voice
Stand up on your own
Go out there and strike out

I tell Aretha in the morning
High on my headphones and walking to school
I got the blues in springtime
Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

But I got the words

I was running out of Cafe conversation
I was weary of fashion parade
and it semms like there's a whole lot of people
from out of town around here, these days
And in the streets the preachers say
If you wnat to go to Heaven why don't you walk this way

All day I prayed for 5 O'Clock
I'm thinking maybe I should quit this job
Then as the lights turn on the corner
I see your face
and I light up like a child

Cause you are the one who makes me see
You are my saving grace
You make me want to become
Become better

Cause when you walked in
You truly changed my world
You take my hand
You make me strong
And when I'm weary
I don't have to explain myself
When I crawl the stairs
You let me rest

I never thought I'd ever see the sun again
Bitterness was beating down my door
Now I'm picking up the telephone I read your name
and I light up like a child

Cause you are the one who makes me see
You are my saving grace
You make me want to become
Become better

Cause when you walked in
You truly changed my world
You take my hand
You make me strong
And when you want me
I'll be there you know I will
Just take my hand
And I'll make you strong

It's the first breath of springtime
And a warm wind picks up the fallen blossom
And sails in circles around the street

??? passed with her hair in braids
As they're pulling down the ???? to the train station cafe

I'm alive and I'm thankful for this time
I'm alive and I'm thankful for this time

6 o' clock summer afternoon
Next door's kids are playing in the yard
I'm doing the dishes out the window and the radio's playing ????
And the sun falls down
On the garden next door
Two young boys are fighting 'til a woman appears at the door

And the fires and the fog and fallen leaves
???? ???? October's ????
You walked me home in the cold after closing time
As the leaves rushed by

How I want to be loved
How I need to be loved
Now that I've found you
I'd do anything for it (?)

In the forest of angels
That's where we laid you down
And I can hear you whisper when the first frost falls on the ground

You're alive, just be thankful
For this time
You're alive, just be thankful
For this time

Sometimes I feel so temporary
Just like these stars
Did somebody say they might not even be there anyway?
I lie awake and think of all the time it might take
To reach them
Where did you go?
It's always, "I don't know, I don't know"

Carry me over if you're a healer
'Cause I don't know how long I'm gonna be here
Tear me down, could you save my soul?
Give me a reason to carry on

Sometimes I feel so temporary
Just like those summer days
If I close my eyes, I can hear you laughing
And time is a friend when broken hearts are trying to mend
Like this one
If I close my eyes, I can feel you're with me

Carry me over if you're a healer
'Cause I don't know how long I'm gonna be here
Tear me down if you can spare my soul
Give me a reason to carry on...

Carry on

Warm as the sun
You were the one who outshone me
In the darkness, everyone went away
You were the one who adored me

And it's so hard to say goodbye to you
So hard when I want to carry you everywhere, everywhere
So I don't forget
I'll carry you everywhere, everywhere
So I don't forget

But there's a blackbird singing
How long have you been hiding?

Lost in the rain
You always prayed you would find a way
We were watching old movies in
Our little technicolour hideaway

And on that soft screen
The beautiful ladies were movie queens
They'd glide on the floor singing melodies
Melodies that I can't forget
Oh, love's sweetest reverie
Melodies that I can't forget

But there's a blackbird singing
How long have you been hiding?

We've been through so much
We've been through everything together
We've been through so much
We've been through everything together

But there's a blackbird singing
How long have you been hiding?
How long have you been hiding?

Full of sorrow, I must've followed you here
Stood at the gates of Heaven, I watched you disappear
Now I hear you say
"It's time to walk away"
But how can I when I don't know my way home from here?

Out of nowhere, I'm on the side of the road
I must've cut my heart out
I must've sold my soul
As I turn my weary head toward the desert sky
As your last light faded from you
And I knew I was lost

I was on my way, on my way
On my way home
I was on my way, on my way
On my way home

When I was hiding from the storms, you heard me calling out
Where were you?
With every demon on the road, you had me crying out
Where were you?
You know I've searched the stars
I don't know where you are

Oh, on my way, on my way
On my way home
Oh, on my way, on my way
On my way home

When I wake up, I see a fire red sky
And I get my down on my knees and praise in disbelief
As this beauty lay before my eyes
And it feels so strong
And it feels so ????

Oh, my God; oh, my God
I am yours
Oh, my God; oh, my God
I am yours

All your life you've waited
for love to come and stay
and now that i have found you
you must not slip away
I know it's hard believing
the word's you've heard before
but darling you must trust them
just once more

Cos Baby, Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you Goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again.

If you wake up and I'm not there
I won't be long away
Cos the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you

I know you've been taken
afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me
instead of giving in

But I can't wait forever
helping you to see
That I was meant for you
and you for me

Cos baby, Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye
doesn't mean we'll never be together again

Though we may be so far apart
you still will have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
cos now you're home at last

Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean forever

Pass me the bottle
Pour me the wine
I might be face down on the table, but I assure you I'm doing just fine
Give me a cigarette
You heard what I said
'Cause I'm going into battle
With the demons in my head
'Cause I've seen trouble
I've seen more than my share
I said I've seen trouble and I don't
Care any more
No, I don't care any more

You don't like the people
(People)
I call my friends
(My friends)
You said it was those old drunken ???? that sent me over the edge
Well, we've all got troubles
Some of us more than our share
I said we've all got trouble and I don't
Care any more
No, I don't care any more

I gave you the power, but you won't release me
Now, you've got the power
You won't release me

You say I'm outspoken
That I'm loud, that I'm obtuse
While I'm here all screwed up, baby
Tell me, what's your excuse?
Gimme carbohydrates
At four in the morning
Gimme carbohydrates 'cause I don't
Care any more
No, I don't care any more

Rain it down on me, baby
Gimme all I can bear
But watch out where you're standing, you might get vertigo up there
You might get vertigo up there
You might get vertigo up there
You might get vertigo up there

Time
I'v been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching sea birds fly
Wishing there would be someone waiting home for me...
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life

Looking backwards ???? ???? ???? ????
All of my life
Wondering ???? ???? ???? ???? ????
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face?
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks today
So many dreams to ????
And there's so much love to ????
I think we're gonna need some time
Baby, all we need is time

And it's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you

And there's so much more
No one's ever ???? before

Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
(All my life)
(All of my life)
It's you
(All my life)
(All of my life)
It's you I've been waiting for
All of my life
(All my life)
(All of my life)
It's you
(All my life)
(All of my life)
It's you I've been waiting for
All of my life
