1. REPLACE YOUR HEART
You know I never want to hurt you
I don't know why I'd ever want to
Oh oh oh
There's no comfort in another face
So are you gonna let it go to waste
Oh oh oh
I keep on tryin'
But how can I buy in
When they don't compare to you
No oh
I'm running out of patience
Tired of imitations
Looking for someone to
Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to
Is just another not you
Makes me wonder
How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations
Running out of patience
Tryin' to replace
Replace your heart
Must be crazy if I let you go
You were everything I need to know
Come back home
Feel like I'm dying
Cause I keep on finding
Every junction leads to here
And I'm lost
I'm running out of patience
Tired of imitations
Looking for someone to
Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to
Is just another not you
Makes me wonder
How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations
Running out of patience
Tryin' to replace
Replace your heart
Everywhere I turn
Is the wrong direction
Everyone I see is the wrong reflection
Reminding me that I just
Can't replace your heart
I'm running out of patience
Tired of imitations
Looking for someone to
Replace your heart
Everyone I talk to
Is just another not you
Makes me wonder
How we're so far apart
I'm tired of imitations
Running out of patience
Tryin' to replace
Replace your heart
I've been through the crowds
Call your name out loud
But there's still no way to
Replace you
I've looked everywhere
Everywhere everywhere
To replace your heart
To replace your heart

2. GLAD YOU CAME
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

3. A GOOD DAY FOR LOVE TO DIE
Seen the change watching it fade
Holding my breath feeling it fail
Working hard wondering why
Can't fix it now so why even try
We've run out of time
It's over I'm over this life, I'm running dry
I'm out of here out of your life
It's a good day for resurrection
It's a good time to break the connection
To the heart that I've been neglecting
It's a good day for love for love to die
Not easy to say harder to do
But that's no kinda life, so I'll leave it to you
Working it hard wondering why
Can't fix it now so why even try
We've run out of time
It's over I'm over this life, I'm running dry
I'm out of here out of your life
It's a good day for resurrection
It's a good time to break the connection
To the heart that I've been neglecting
It's a good day for love for love to die
There's not a chance, there's not a prayer
Can't pull a miracle out of the air
So now I'm leaving letting it lie, letting it die
We've run out of time
It's over I'm over this life, I'm running dry
I'm out of here out of your life
It's a good day for resurrection
It's a good time to break the connection
To the heart that I've been neglecting
It's a good day for love for love to die
For love to die, for love to die
For love to die, for love to die
It's a good day for love for love to die, for love to die

4. MADE
You could hurt with the words,
You could change my life,
You could tell me the truth,
It would cut like a knife but I won't let go
But I won't let go, but I won't let go
You could fall, hit the wall
You could lose your way
You could lose, you could bruise,
Spend it all in day but I won't let go
But I won't let go, but I won't let go
Cause if I had to save someone, I'd still save you
And if I had to pray for someone, I'd pray for you
Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through (Cause you know we are made)
They could take, they could hate
They could break our hearts
They could try all they want,
Never tear us apart, we will not let go,
We will not let go, we will not let go
Cause if I had to save someone, I'd still save you
And if I had to pray for someone, I'd pray for you
Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through
Cause you know we are made, made, made, made
All of them are fake, fake, fake, fake
We just gotta break, break, break, break
You know we are made, made, made, made
Cause you know we are made for each other
Can't take that away, made for each other
Like sunshine and day, made for each other, I'm here to stay
Cause you know we are made for each other
I'm made for you, made for each other
Like stars and the moon, made for each other
We'll see it through (Cause you know we are made)
Cause you know we are made...

5. HEART VACANCY
I hear your heart cry for love,
But you won’t let me make it right.
You were hurt, but I decided,
That you were worth the fight.
Every night, you lock up,
You won’t let me come inside.
But the look in your eyes,
As I can turn the tide.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I can tell you can fit one more.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I don’t care who was there before.
I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there’s no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
'Don’t disturb' is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I’d fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.
This ain’t the Heartbreak Hotel,
Even though I know it well.
Those no shows, they sure tell,
In the way you hold yourself.
Don’t you fret, should you get,
Another cancellation.
Give me a chance I’d make
Permanent reservation.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
I can tell you can fit one more.
Open up make a brand new start,
I don’t care who’s stayed before.
I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there’s no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
“Don’t disturb” is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I’d fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.
When I, talk to you, on the phone,
you, listen close.
I hear your heart cry for love,
Then you act like there’s no room.
Room for me, or anyone,
“Don’t disturb” is all I see.
Close the door, turn the key,
On everything that we could be.
If loneliness would move out,
I’d fill the vacancy.
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart,
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart.

6. GOLDEN
Don't live in black and white do we?
It's just another fight to me
If we don't take it on we won't get far
It seems so far away but so close
It's there for us to take when most
Would waste it don't waste it
And we try, and we fail
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but turns out golden
We loved to dream aloud
With both feet on the ground
But where's the sense in that?
We'd never get it back
We'd be wasted we'd be wasted
And we try, and we fail
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but it turns out golden
And we went for the sky
And fell down low
And flew too high
But survived cos you and I
We turned out golden
They tore it to pieces
We'll build it again
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
And we try, and we fail
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but it turns golden
And went for the sky
And fell down low
And flew too high
But we still survived cos you and I
We turned out golden

7. LOSE MY MIND
They say that time
Heals everything
But they don't know you
And the scars you bring
'Cos you left a jagged hole
And I can't stand it anymore
If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'd erase my thoughts
If only I knew how
Fill my head with white noise
If it would drown you out
Kill the sound
If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind
And I'd rather be crazy
I'd rather go insane
Than having you stalk
My every thought
Then having you here inside my heart
If heartache was a physical pain
I could face it I could face it
But you're hurting me
From inside of my head
I can't take it I can't take it
I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna lose my mind

8. WEAKNESS
She aims a smile with the safety off
And she's not afraid to use it
She holds my gaze just long enough
For me to feel like I'm gonna lose it
And I know that she knows
That I know what she's doing to me
And she knows when she calls
I'll fall for her every time
Cos I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness
She is my weakness
A look from her is like oxygen
How would I keep breathing
Without her
She breaks a whole as she looks away
Now my heart ain't beating
Without her
And I know that she knows
That I know what she's doing to me
And she knows when she goes
I'll come for her every time
Cos I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness
She is my weakness
I know it might sound crazy
But I don't wanna let go
Now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go
I know it might sound crazy
But I don't wanna let go
Now I don't mind spending every night if you don't let go
Cos I'm wrapped I'm wrapped around
Your perfect little finger
And I'm trapped inside the cell
Of every sound she makes
She is my weakness
She is my weakness

9. LET'S GET UGLY.
Now this melody's a healer
It's got my baby in a fever
And I hope it gets the better of you
With this Morricone music
There's no way you can refute it
But girl you ain't got nothing to lose
Aye aye aye girl oh oh oh
It's not who you know
When I'm what you know
Aye aye aye
Just come and go with me
Aye aye aye, girl gone gone gone
Don't want a room full of snakes if the lights are on and
Aye aye aye
Just come and go with me
Will the angel or the devil
Die in ecstasy
There's something coming over you come over me
Falling in love is never easy
'Cause they're so good I'm so bad, so let's get ugly
Now she's a gentle mental
Got perversions detrimental
But there's times I just don't know what to do.
She's all grown up and sexy
And I know she's not my baby
But man, I ain't got nothing to lose
Aye aye aye girl oh oh oh
It's not who you know
When I'm what you know
Aye aye aye
Just come and go with me
Aye aye aye, girl gone gone gone
Don't want a room full of snakes
If the lights are on and
Aye aye aye,
Just come and go with me
Will the angel or the devil
Die in ecstasy?
There's something coming over you come over me.
Falling in love is never easy.
'Cause they're so good, I'm so bad, so let's get ugly.
It's never easy
The good the bad
The good the bad
Good bad Good Bad
Let's get ugly
Will the angel or the devil die in ecstasy?
There's something coming over you come over me.
Falling in love is never easy.
'Cause they're so good, I'm so bad, so let's get ugly.

10. ALL TIME LOW
[ Songwriters: Drewett, Edward James; Hector, Wayne Anthony; Mac, Steve;]
Praying won't do it
Hating won't do it
Drinking won't do it
Fighting won't knock you out of my head
Hiding won't hide it
Smiling won't hide it
Like I ain't tried it
Everyone's tried it now and failed somehow
So when you gonna let me
When you gonna let me out, out?
And if you know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I'm in pieces, seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know
How do you get out, get out?
'Cause driving won't do it
Flying won't do it
Denying won't do it
Crying won't drown it out, what you said
When I'm standing on the yellow line, waiting at the station
Or I'm late for work, a vital presentation
If you call me now girl without reservation
I would try to break through
But if you know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I'm in pieces, seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart?
'Til it ceases, I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?
A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low
Can you hear me?
A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low
Can't you hear me?
A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low
Can you hear me?
A low, a low, a low, a low, a low, a low
And if you know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I'm in pieces, seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart
'Til it ceases, I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?
I can't even find a place to start
How do I choose between my head and heart
'Til it ceases, I'll never know
How do you get up from an all time low?
