Matt Cardle Letters Lyrics
1.Starlight

Hearts are racing at the speed of light

Eyes are opening and rolling right

Sinking feeling it's almost like

It wouldn't matter if we died tonight

We are beautiful

Breakable

We're gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky

Like a shooting star, it's just who we are

Pushin', pushin', pullin', movin' on

A sense of freedom we've been hanging on

I've cut the chord and now it won't be long

Before we find out where it's coming from

We are beautiful

Breakable

We're gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky

Like a shooting star, it's just who we are

We are beautiful

Breakable

We're gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky

Like a shooting star, it's just who we are



2.Run for Your Life

You need somebody who likes themself
Who lives for life and never calls for help
You need somebody to walk you back
Someone who loves you too before you ask
You're worth more, you're worth more than this
You can take a leap without the risk
There's no time, there's no time for this
Take your love and start again
So run for your life, run for your life
You need someone who can stand alone
Who finds the way, instead of being shown
Somebody with confidence
Who's strong enough to be hit more than once
You'll find more, you'll find more than this
Take the world that's at your fingertips
Don't waste time, don't waste time with this
Take your love and start again
So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Run, run and don't look back again
Run, run, one day you'll understand
I'm not, no, I'm not who you think I am
So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Who finds the way, instead of being shown
Who's strong enough to be hit more than once


3.All for Nothing

Use your eyes, oh father
Cause I had a dream last night
I saw her body broke, still and cold where she lay
And it was all for nothing
This love I gave

And I pray you keep her safe
Bring her home, keep harm away
I pray, don't let me down
Bring her back cause I need her now
I pray, someone else can take her place
Don't make it all for nothing
This love we made

She's my best friend, oh mother
No other woman could turn my eye, drag me away
With the blessing comes the worry, and I worry
Don't make it all for nothing
The love we made

And I pray you keep her safe
Bring her home, keep harm away
I pray, don't let me down
Bring her back cause I need her now
I pray, someone else can take her place
Don't make it all for nothing
This love we made

Falling in love is like playing with fire
Pulling me down but it's takin' me higher
I know it's my fault and I'm asking for favours
I needed a knife but you gave me the razor

I pray you keep her safe
Bring her home, keep harm away
I pray, don't let me down
Bring her back cause I need her now
I pray, someone else can take her place
Don't make it all for nothing
This love we made
Don't make it all for nothing
This love we made


4.Pull Me Under

Truth, dares
Girls for which I never really cared
Affairs to forget
A search for ends that never really met

If I could only find this feeling
And find a love beyond this dream
It's never been so clear that

I need someone to pull me under
I need someone, I start to wonder
Will I ever stop skipping like a stone
My heart keeps skipping like a stone
On the calmest river keep on
And I'll never break the surface
'Till it feels like home

Truth, dares, lust, affairs
Girls for which I never cared
Success, deceit, lies, defeat
Making ends that never meet
I've been found, lost, paid the cost
A skipping stone that gathered moss
Trying to keep my heart above the water

If I could only find this feeling
And find a love beyond this dream
It's never been so clear that

I need someone to pull me under
I need someone, I start to wonder
Will I ever stop skipping like a stone
My heart keeps skipping like a stone
On the calmest river keep on
And I'll never break the surface
'Till it feels like home

Till it feels like home

I need someone to pull me under
I need someone, I start to wonder
Will I ever stop skipping like a stone
My heart keeps skipping like a stone
On the calmest river keep on
And I'll never break the surface
'Till it feels like home


5.Amazing

I had to look inside
This fragile heart of mine
To find exactly what it was you saw
I had to put myself
Back in the firing line
To take the shot that knocked me to the floor

I was down, losing faith, oh I was lost in the crowd
You brought me round

How did you find me?
You came out of nowhere like lightening
It's kind of amazing how you found me
Through all the noise somehow

I was pulling empty pales
Out of the wishing well
Only holy water breaks the spell
I had to pinch myself
Cos I knew all too well
The stairway to heaven oh it starts in hell

I was down, but somehow an Angel heard my sound
And Brought me round

How did you find me?
You came out of nowhere like lightening
It's kind of amazing how you found me
Through all the noise somehow

How did you see me?
Broke through the darkness and you reached me
It's kind of amazing how you found me
Through all the strangers somehow

Faith and a little patience for this heart of mine
Though I would stay here waiting for the end of time

How did you find me?
You came out of nowhere like lightening
It's kind of amazing how you found me
Through all the noise somehow

How did you see me?
Broke through the darkness and you reached me
It's kind of amazing how you found me
Through all the strangers somehow

Through all the strangers somehow
Somehow...


6.Faithless

Here tonight and gone tomorrow
Now I'm coming back down again
The truth's a bitter pill to swallow
Did I really mean all the things I'd said?

I guess I never realised that the story had three sides
I guess I never realised till I saw you in the sunlight
And you leave me falling

Faithless, we've taken it too far
And the guilt weighs heavy on my heart
What they don't know still hurts somehow
And is running away with my conscience now
Love I shouldn't have let you down

The moment lay a path to follow
And I took it all the way
I stole, I lied, I begged and borrowed
Don't let it come round again

I guess I never realised that the story had three sides
I guess I never realised till I saw you in the sunlight
And you leave me falling

Faithless, we've taken it too far
And the guilt weighs heavy on my heart
What they don't know still hurts somehow
And is running away with my conscience now
Love I shouldn't have let you down

All the bridge's that I burned
All the lessons that I learned
All the tables that I turned
Have left me falling

Faithless, we've taken it too far
And the guilt weighs heavy on my heart
What they don't know still hurts somehow
And is running away with my conscience now
Love I shouldn't have let you down

I'm Faithless, we've taken it too far
And the guilt weighs heavy on my heart
What they don't know, hurts somehow
And is running away with my conscience now
Love I shouldn't have let you down


7.Beat of a Breaking Heart

Forgive my heart, forgive my mind
They don't understand
That I have no reason to lie
Could run but there's nowhere to hide
Take me as I am

I can hear
The beat of a breaking heart
Soaking in tears but this time I've gone too far

I need your soul, I need your grace
Cause you see through my disguise
I still got your taste in my mouth
I still feel your hands on my skin
And as I close my eyes

I can hear
The beat of a breaking heart
Soaking in tears but this time I've gone too far
And maybe tonight
I'll fight not to fall apart
How are we here when it's just the start?

I can hear
The beat of a breaking heart
Soaking in tears but this time I've gone too far
And maybe tonight
I'll fight not to fall apart
How are we here when it's just the start?


8.Stars & Lovers

If all the tears could drown a fire
The stars would fall and time would stop
If I could reach a little higher
If Jupiter was close enough, ohh

I lost my place, I found the answer
I heard it on the radio
If I return and take my chances
If only I could let her know

My heart is open and the skies on fire
I hear the drum and I hear the choir
The universe, it was made for us and
Oh-Oh, the stars and the lovers
A universe, made for us and
Oh-Oh, the stars and the lovers
So let go, hold onto each other

If I could run a million hours
And hold the oceans in my hands
If I could have one superpower
It would be to make you understand

My heart is open and the skies on fire
I hear the drum and I hear the choir
The universe, it was made for us and
Oh-Oh, the stars and the lovers
A universe, made for us and
Oh-Oh, the stars and the lovers
To let go, hold onto each other

I lost my place, I found the answer
I heard it on the radio
If only I could let her know

My heart is open and the skies on fire
I hear the drum and I hear the choir
The universe, it was made for us and
Oh-Oh, the stars and the lovers
A universe, made for us and
Oh-Oh, the stars and the lovers
To let go, hold onto each other

To let go, hold onto each other


9.Letters

Send a message, to my heart
Tell it everything, from the start
Make it honest, make it true
It's the only way, we'll see it through

Send them all, the letters
Fit them all, together
Set in stone, forever
Make it whole, and never
Tell a soul, endeavour
To be told

Send a message, to my heart
Send a message, to my heart
With every beat I hear it speaking loud and clear
Send a message, to my heart

Break it gently, or break me down
Don't say anything, don't make a sound
Actions, although they hurt
It's the feelings, that really burn

Send them all, the letters
Fit them all, together
Set in stone, forever
Make it whole, and never
Tell a soul, endeavour
To be told

Send a message, to my heart
Send a message, to my heart
With every beat I hear it speaking loud and clear
Send a message to my heart

Send them all, the letters
Fit them all, together
Set in stone, forever
Make it whole, and never
Tell a soul, endeavour
To be told

Send a message, to my heart
Send a message, to my heart
Send a message, to my heart
Send a message, to my heart


10.Reflections

Flickin' channels in my hotel room
On a trip I always thought I'd take with you
My heart was lifted by a telephone ring
I thought you'd changed your mind
And say it's true

If only, if only
I'd seized the moment when you loved me
You'd be here with me

Reflections of a wasted love
You don't know what you've lost until she's given up
I had to lose you to learn
You don't know what you've lost until she's gone

Never thought that you'd have gone this far
Guessed I'd always have just one more chance
I never thought that you could break my heart
If only I could change our circumstance

If only, if only
I'd seized the moment when you loved me
You'd be here with me

Reflections of a wasted love
You don't know what you've lost until she's given up
I had to lose you to learn
And the clock's been tickin', the clock's been tickin'
You don't know what you've lost until she's gone

Maybe it's all too late
(If you're never gonna tell me why)
(Then I'm never gonna say goodbye)
Maybe it's all too late
(If you're never gonna tell me why)
(Then I'm never gonna say goodbye)

Reflections of a wasted love
You don't know what you've lost until she's given up
I had to lose you to learn
You don't know what you've lost until she's given up

Reflections of a wasted love
Cause the clock's been tickin', the clock's been tickin'
You don't know what you've lost until she's gone


11.Walking on Water

Don't say it's over
Don't breathe a word
How was I so oblivious?
I didn't see how we got so deep down

When we were walking on water for so long
I didn't notice the waves crashing over
I thought we were sailing somewhere
When did we start going under?

Now I see your colours
And now I hear your truths
I need something to pull us outa here
If we could get back up to the surface
Tell me could it be

Like we were walking on water for so long
I didn't notice the waves crashing over
I thought we were sailing somewhere
When did we start going under, under?

Cause you made me wanna fight
Cause I found something to believe in
You made me who I am
And it's so hard to see how
We're so deep down

When we were walking on water for so long
I didn't notice the waves crashing over
I thought we were sailing somewhere
When did we start going under?


12.Slowly

Saw your face, turned away
Never gave a second thought, never looked at you that way
Searching for, someone else
I didn't hear the fireworks, we were dancing with ourselves
And then you come close and knock me out, oh

Slowly, slowly, changing me slowly
Driving with your heart, kissing in the dark
The way you hold me, hold me, turn with me slowly
This is where it starts, kissing in the dark

You're a thorn, in my soul
That cuts at first but now I'm feeling something wonderful
More fool me, to let you drive
You can push me all you want but I'll fall when I decide
But then you come close and knock me out, oh

Slowly, slowly, changing me slowly
Driving with your heart, kissing in the dark
The way you hold me, hold me, turn with me slowly
This is where it starts, kissing in the dark

It makes me shiver, that I could have missed you
It makes me shiver, that I could have missed you

Slowly, slowly, changing me slowly
Driving with your heart, kissing in the dark
The way you hold me, hold me, turn with me slowly
This is where it starts, kissing in the dark


13.When We Collide

You say 'I love you boy'
I know you lie
I trust you all the same
I don't know why

'Cause when my back is turned
My bruises shine
Our broken fairytale
So hard to hide

I still believe
It's you and me till the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it
When you hit me, hit me hard

Sitting in a wishing hole
Hoping it stays dry
Feet cast in solid stone
I got Gilligan's eyes

I still believe
It's you and me till the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it
When you hit me, hit me hard

'Cause you said love
Was letting us go against what
Our future is far
Many of horror
Our future's far
Many of horror

I still believe
It's you and me till the end of time
Ah~
When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it
When you hit me, hit me hard
