Birdy- Fire Within (full album)

45 minutes of Good music

"Wings"

Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
It made me think of you

Under a trillion stars
We danced on top of cars
Took pictures of the stage
So far from where we are
They made me think of you

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We'd remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

I'm in a foreign state
My thoughts they slip away
My words are leaving me
They caught an aeroplane
Because I thought of you
Just from the thought of you

"Heart Of Gold"

I can be strong when I want to be,
You think I’m weak ‘cause you can tear me apart with the words that you speak
You think you’re in control
But you don’t understand how much you’re wrong
You choose to lash out at me, I’ve done nothing wrong
All you crave is attention and just to belong
You need to belong

And I want to be free
When my heart is made from gold
And forgiveness seems too bold
As to find it in my heart
To say "I love you"
When my heart is made from gold
And the hunt is just too bold
As to find it in my heart
To say "I love you"

Is there not enough to use your love for me
To get past the things because you envy and hate
And the fires that they breathe
To say "I looked on the small"
Can’t understand why you don’t have it all
But you don’t know how to fight for your "believe in your aims"
I just wanna do right by you, forget what has changed
‘Cause nothing is changed

And I want to be free
When my heart is made from gold
And forgiveness seems too bold
As to find it in my heart
To say "I love you"
When my heart is made from gold
And the hunt is just too bold
As to find it in my heart
To say "I love you"

For you have to be so mean
You’re such a drama queen
The way you play on every weakness that you see in me
To make you strong, knew all along
So don’t pretend like you can hardly breathe
Like it’s down to me
‘Cause it’s so unfair that you can’t see that you’re so wrong
We’re still so young

"Light Me Up"

I'm finding my heart
Using my hands
You're my feet on the ground
My footprints

From where I began
I still carry your love
I feel your love

Untie this cord,
We don't need it no more
Wherever we are
I'm yours always

It flows in my blood
I still carry your love
I feel your love

We start running, running
To escape this town
We don't know where we're going 'til we turn 'round
And I keep on running, running
I can't slow down
And if I'm lost where shadows fall

You light me up
When all I see is darkness
You light me up
When I'm down
And if I fall apart
You know where to find my pieces
When they can't be found

Keep my eyes shut
Safe in this trust
You're all that I need
My senses

Shining on me
I still carry your love
I feel your love


"Words As Weapons"

I feel your knife as is goes right in
Cut to my core but I'm not bleeding
All that you say trying to make me small
Well the bigger you get the harder you fall

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that your deep under my skin
Your trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

You have My heart but I lock it up
This burning flame has been burnt enough
My window's cracked they can be replaced
But your arm will tire throwing stones my way

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that your deep under my skin
Your trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that your deep under my skin
Your trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon ,I’ll shed no tears

I’ll shed no tears

"All You Never Say"

You've been searching
Have you found many things?
Time for learning
Why have I not learnt a thing?

Words with no meaning
Have kept me dreaming
But they don't tell me anything

All you never say is that you love me so
All I'll never know is if you want me oh
If only I could look into your mind
Maybe then I'd find a sign
Of all I want to hear you say to me

Are you uncertain?
Or just scared to drop your guard?
Have you been broken?
Are you afraid to show your heart?

Life can be unkind
But only sometimes
You're giving up before you start

"Strange Birds"

Little ghost, you are listening,
Unlike most you don’t miss a thing,
You see the truth,
I walk the halls invisibly,
I climb the walls, no one sees me,
No one but you.

You’ve always loved the strange birds
Now I want to fly into your world
I want to be heard
My wounded wings still beating,
You’ve always loved the stranger inside…
Me, ugly pretty.

Oh no, no, no, no [x3]

Oh little ghost, you see the pain
But together we can make something beautiful,
So take my hand and perfectly,
We fill the gaps, you and me make three,
I was meant for you, and you for me.

"Maybe"

Maybe, I know it’s just maybe
And we’re only dreaming
For how this will go, o-o-oh

But maybe, one day this daydream
Would turn into real things
For all that we know, o-o-oh

We could be doing anything that we love
Just be carried by the way the wind blows, o-o-oh
You could be doing anything you dream of
If you believe in the things that make you strong

Someday, we’ll meet on the high street
We’ll laugh about when we
Worried about what we might be

Then maybe, we’ll talk about old days
We’ll smile in our old ways
You’ll always be part of me

We could be doing anything that we love
Just be carried by the way the wind blows, o-o-oh
You could be doing anything you dream of
If you believe in the things that make you strong

You could be doing anything you dream of
If you believe in the things that make you strong

Maybe, I know it’s just maybe
And we’re only dreaming
For how this will go, o-o-oh

Just maybe…
You could be doing anything you dream of
Maybe…
Maybe…

"No Angel"

Remember once the things you told me
And how the tears ran from my eyes
They didn't fall because it hurt me
I just hate to see you cry
Sometimes I wish we could be strangers
So I didn't have to know your pain
But if I kept myself from danger
This emptiness would feel the same

I ain't no angel
I never was
But I never hurt you
It's not my fault
You see those egg shells, they're broken up
A million pieces, strung out across the ground

Did you ever really love her
Or was it that you feared letting go
You should have known that you could trust her
But you pretend like I don't know

I ain't no angel
I never was
But I never hurt you
It's not my fault
You see those egg shells, they're broken up
A million pieces, strung out across the ground

I want to tell you that I'm sorry
But that's not for me to say
You can have my heart, my soul, my body
If you can promise not to go away

I ain't no angel
I never was
But I never hurt you
It's not my fault
You see those egg shells, they're broken up
A million pieces, strung out across the ground

"All About You"

Why does she make sure to be so immature about these things,

 I don’t want you to change around it
And sometimes this love will end and all will be forgotten

 then someday we will laugh about it
And you say that it's alright
And I know that it’s a lie
From the black in your eyes

You don’t have to do this on your own
Like there’s no one that cares about you
You don’t have to act like you're alone
Like the walls are closing in around you

You don’t have to pretend no one knows
Like there’s no one that understands you
I’m not just some face you used to know
I know all about you

And you should know that someone cares about you
I know all about you

Here I am still holding on

you’re finding ways to break the bonds,

they’re stronger than you realize
You could say that I’ve not tried, I’ve let you down

, left you behind but you’re the one who’s saying goodbye
And you say that it's alright
And I know that it’s a lie
From the black in your eyes

You don’t have to do this on your own
Like there’s no one that cares about you
You don’t have to act like you're alone
Like the walls are closing in around you

You don’t have to pretend no one knows
Like there’s no one that understands you
I’m not just some face you used to know
I know all about you

And you should know that someone cares about you
I know all about you
And you should know that someone cares about you
I know all about you

And you say that it's alright
And I know that it’s a lie
From the black in your eyes

Here I am still holding on

you’re finding ways to break the bonds,

they’re stronger than you realize
And you could say that I’ve not tried,

I’ve let you down, left you behind

but you’re the one who’s saying goodbye

And you don’t have to do this on your own
Like there’s no one that cares about you
You don’t have to act like you're alone
Like the walls are closing in around you

You don’t have to pretend no one knows
Like there’s no one that understands you
I’m not just some face you used to know
I know all about you
I know all about you

"Standing In The Way Of The Light"

Through the driving rain
I have lost the words
To piece us back together
To tell you how it hurts
Cause lately we've been breaking
All we've built so far
And I'm tired of sitting waiting
Alone in the dark
There's still a way to make it right
We'll find the strength this time

And pull back this fail
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

Round we go in circles
Does it have to be this hard?
We can stop the fighting
If you let down your guard
There's still a way to make it right
We'll find the strength this time

And pull back this fail
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
So come on, come on, come on
We've been living in the shadows too long
So come on, come on, come on

Just pull back this fail
Turn night into day
Don't' you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

"Shine"

Standing here in the rain
I can see the water soaking through
The holes in your shoes
And turn your mind from the storm
Get you somewhere safe
Where it's soft and warm

I'm waiting here at a dim street light
Orange dances around in your empty eyes
And I can see straight into your soul
Feeling oh so lost and out of control
Oh

Shine
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
Shine
If the world gets you down don't be afraid to wrestle it
Shine
You have your whole life ahead of you
Come make a mess of it
Shine
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
Who are you to question it

Tired now, feeling scared
Unfamiliar light floods into the room
You have woken to
Hopeful eyes looking out
As you wait alone
Hiding tears of doubt

Not holding back as you realize
Your abandonment
You'll be cast aside
And I can see straight into your soul
Feeling oh so lost and out of control
Whoa oh

Shine
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
Shine
If the world gets you down don't be afraid to wrestle it
Shine
You have your whole life ahead of you
Come make a mess of it
Shine
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
Who are you to question it

Hold my hand when the lights go down
And you're feeling scared but no one understands
Whoa oh
Keep your head up and don't look down
Now guard your stacks to keep you on the ground
Whoa oh

Your love is strong
And they just don't deserve
To choose where you belong

Shine
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
Shine
If the world gets you down don't be afraid to wrestle it
Shine
You have your whole life ahead of you
Come make a mess of it
Shine
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
Who are you to question it
