Songs For You, Truths For

James Morrison Songs For You, Truths For Lyrics
1.THE ONLY NIGHT

When I was young
And I was a victim
Of her killer smile
Her love was cheap
And it was great for a little while
I had to leave
But she wanted me stay
And she ripped up my shirt
And left the marks of her disdain

I couldn't take it no more
I couldn't spend another night alone
I couldn't take it no more

If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong
In spending time with you
I'll keep you warm
You'll hold me tight
This might be our only night
I can't give up
No no no no, oh

I tried to reconcile
But it never made a difference
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife
It was so tense and cold
And every time I tried to get little closer to you
You got further and further away from me
Until you faded into the distance
Yes you did
There was nothing I could do

If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong
In spending time with you
I'll keep you warm
When you hold me tight
Coz this might be our only night
This might be the only night
I can't spend another night alone
If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong
In spending time with you

If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong
In spending time with you

Keep me warm and I hold you tight
Coz this might be our only night


2.Save Yourself

I'm trying to change
to make the best, for us
But I'm just the same
same as I ever was

Oh and if you stay with me
honestly it's what I want
But if you stay with me
I know I'll hurt you more

So won't you save, save yourself
by leaving me now
For someone else
if I'm crying out
don't listen to it
It's only my heart
save yourself
it's only my heart
No no

So tell me I'm wrong
please won't you change, my mind
This loves so intense
sometimes it can lead, you blind

Oh and if you stay with me
honestly it's what I want
But if you stay with me
I know I'll hurt you more

So won't you save, save yourself
by leaving me now
For someone else
if I'm crying out
don't listen to it
It's only my heart
save yourself
It's only my heart
save yourself

And I don't want to let you go
But I know
that it's the right thing to do baby umn
And I don't think I'm that strong
to say goodbye
I don't wanna see you cry

So won't you save, save yourself
by leaving me now
For someone else
if I'm crying out
don't listen to it
It's only my heart
save yourself
It's only my heart
save yourself
Save It's only my heart
La la It's only my heart
Only only my heart


3.YOU MAKE IT REAL

Lyricist:J. Morrison
Writer(s):J. Morrison

Mmmmm
There's so much craziness, surrounding me
There's so much going on, it gets hard to breathe
When all my faith has gone, you bring it back to me
You make it real for me

When I'm not sure of, my priorities
When I've lost site of, where I'm meant to be
Like holy water, washing over me
You make it real for me

And I'm running to you baby
You are the only one who saved me
That's why I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

When my head is strong, but my heart is weak
I'm full of arrogance, and uncertainty
But I can find the words, you teach my heart to speak
You make it real for me, yeah~

And I'm running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who saved me
That's whyyy I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

Ohhh
Everybodies talking in words I don't understand
You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Your shinin in the distance
I hope I can make it through
Cause the only place that I want to be
Is right back home with you

I guess there's so much more
I have to learn
But if you're here with me
I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere,
Somewhere I can learn
You make it real for me

And I'm running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who saved me
That's why I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

You make it real for me


4.PLEASE DON'T STOP THE RAIN

I don't know where I crossed the line
Was it something that I said
Or didn't say this time
And I don't know if it's me or you
But I can see the skies are changing
In all the shades of blue
And I don't know which way it's gonna go

If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain

I thought that time was on our side
I've put in far too many years
To let this pass us by
You see live is a crazy thing
There'll be good time and there'll be bad times
And everything in between
And I don't know which way it's gonna go

If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain

Oh we're a little closer now
And finally what life's it's all about
Yeah I know you just can't stand it
if things don't go your way
But we've got no control over what happens anyway

If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
Feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Please don't stop the rain

(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Can't stop it, can't stop it, just can't stop the rain
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
Let it fall, please don't stop the rain


5.Broken Strings feat. Nelly Furtado

(James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado )


Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking
It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before


Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us


Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late(too late)

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late(too late)

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh and I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last change to feel again

7.ONCE WHEN I WAS LITTLE

Nothing Ever Hurt Like You

I was the one, who would always jump in first
Didn't think twice to look behind
Got such a good feeling, just from playing in the dirt
Once, when I was little

We could build a rocket, fly to the moon
Leave Tuesday morning, and be back for noon
There wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
Oh once, when I was little umm
Once, when I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
I could believed more then
That the world could only get better
I could free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once, when I was little umm umm umm

There was a time when I trusted everyone
There was no place that I would not go
Spend a day on the hillside next to the holly mo
Oh once, when I was little
Yea once, when I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
And I could believed more then
That this world could only get better
I could free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once, when I was little

I used to feel so strong
Even when they tell me, tell me I was wrong
That I can't live in a magic world
Cause it's time for me to grow up
Then I got to be like the rest of them
When I know there acting

Oh I could pretend more then
And I could believe more then
That the world if only get better
Oh I could believe more then yes I could
I could pretend more then

That this world if could only show me good times
Once, when I was little umm

So here comes the next one, next in line
Stay as young you can, for the longest time
Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze just passing through
Once, when I was little


8.Precious Love

I was so lost
Didn't know what to do with myself
I was my own worst enemy
I was lost and know I needed help
Then you came along
And saw the state I was in
You picked me up
Where I was down
Show me how to live again

I said thank you for pulling me through
I'm a lucky man
I didn't know what life was
But I now understand

This is precious love, precious love
No I can't let it go
It's this precious love
And it's teaching me everything I need to know
This is precious love, it's precious love
No I can't get enough
Oh I'm down on my knees
Begging you please
Gimme some more of that stuff

Oh it's love love love love, precious love
Oh it's love love love love, precious love

Oh I got so distracted by people all around
Whispering is nothing
Feeling my head with doubt
So I give up
I didn't take long for me to see
One thing that I was missing
Was standing in front of me

I took you for granted
Thought the grass was greener on the other side
I was wrong and it took me so long
For me to finally realize

This is precious love, precious love
No I can't let it go
It's this precious love
And it's teaching me everything I need to know
I'ts precious love, it's precious love
No I can't get enough
Oh I'm down on my knees
Begging you please
To give me some more of that stuff

I say a prayer
I say it to you
That my heart will always be true
Love won't be the same without you

So I say thank you
I'm a lucky man
I didn't know what life was
But now I, now I understand
Understand, understand

This is love love love love, precious love
This is precious love
And it's teaching me to be a better man
This is precious love, precious love
Oh I can't get enough
Oh I'm down on my knees
Begging you please
You must be from heaven above

Yeah it's love love love love, precious love
Oh it's love love love love, precious love

Love love love love, gimme love gimme love
Love love love love, precious love


9.If You Don't Wanna Love Me

When you lower me down
So deep that I, I can't get out
And when you're lost, lost and alone
Yes you'd think it was the last place
You'd come back for more

If you don't want me to leave
Then don't push me away
Rather blow out the lights
You can watch it all fade
But I'm going nowhere

I'm gonna stay
When you just wanna fight
When you're closing your eyes
'Cause you don't wanna love me

I'm gonna stay
You can't push me to far
There's no space in my heart
Where I don't wanna love you

And when there's no storm
Then how can I feel the calm
If there's nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose
Then what is this feeling
That keeps on bringing me back to you

So I'm gonna stay
When you just wanna fight
And you're closing your eyes
'Cause you don't wanna love me

So I'm gonna stay, yes I will
You can't push me to far
There's no space in my heart
Where I don't wanna love you

And if you ask me to leave
And I walked away
We'd still be alone
And we'd still be afraid
I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere

'Cause I'm gonna stay oh no
When you just wanna fight
And there's tears in your eyes
'Cause you don't wanna love me

I'm gonna stay
All the tears that I've cried
I could leave them to dry
If you don't wanna love me

Could leave them to dry
If you don't wanna love me


10.FIX THE WORLD UP FOR YOU

11.DREAM ON HAYLEY

Some people sleep easy, some people don't
Seeking the light on start to feel so alone
Some people make it better, some make it worse
You thought he held you lightly, yeah he got you where it hurts
You're not the one, you're not the one to blame

Dream on Hayley
Don't look down, there's nothing here for you to see
Dream on Hayley
You're just about there, don't give so up so easily
Dream on Hayley
If you don't feel love, dreaming is the way to go
I know, I know, I know

Some people trust too much, sometimes that's you
Shouldn't be a bad thing, it's more than I could do
So much disappointment over the years
You're willing to love completely, but it always ends in tears
You're not mad, not so mad, to me

Dream on Hayley
Don't look down, there's nothing here for you to see
Dream on Hayley
You're just about there, don't give so up so easily
Dream on Hayley
If you don't feel love, dreaming is the way to go
Dream on, dream on
I can't keep dreaming on
Gotta keep dreaming on
Dream on Hayley
Dream on Hayley
Dream on Hayley
Dream on Hayley
Don't look down, there's nothing here for you to see
Dream on Hayley
You're just about there, don't give so up so easily
Dream on Hayley
If you don't feel love, dreaming is the way to go
Way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go, way to go


12.Love Is Hard

Lyricist:james morrison
Writer(s):james morrison

I see lovers in the streets walking without a care
They're wearing out loud
like there's something in the air
Oooooh, and i don't care

They're treading lightly
No they, don't sink in
There's no tracks to follow
they don't care where they going
Hmm

And if they're lucky and they'll
they'll get to see and if they're
really really lucky they'll
get to feel..

And it kicks so hard, it breaks your bones
Cuts so deep
it hits your soul
Tears your skin and makes your blood flow
It's beter that you know
That love is hard

Love takes hostages gives them pain
gives someone the power to hurt you again and again
oooh, but they don't care

And if they're lucky and they'll
they'll get to see and if they're
really really lucky they'll
they'll get to feel
And if they're, they're truely blessed
and they're get to believe
and if you're dammed, you'll never let youreself be diseased

And it kicks so hard
it breaks your bones
Cuts so deep
it hits your soul
Tears your skin and makes your blood flow
It's beter that you know
That love is hard

Hmmmmmmm...

Kicks so hard, it breaks your bones
Cuts so deep, it hits your soul
Tears your skin and makes your blood flow
It's beter that we know..

And it kicks so hard, it breaks your bones
Cuts so deep, it hits your soul
Tears your skin and makes your blood flow
It's beter that you know
That love is hard..

love is hard, love is hard

If it was easy,
it wouldn't mean nothing, no
