Terrible Things

Terrible Things Terrible Things Lyrics
1.The Arsonist's Wife

They picked you up today
You were sleeping in our car
I saw the pictures
Outside our house, not so far
The nights I've spent alone
I thought you were a liar
I guess I should have known

But you look clear in the path
Of the one who got away

It's you, it's you
Evidence will line up soon
It's you, it's you
I will never lie for you

You thought you were getting away
But you know it isn't right
So you won't be coming home
Won't be coming home, tonight

This was all we had
And you took it away for good
I can't forgive you now
I wish I could
All the nights I've spent alone
I never knew, you're gone forever
And I'm here without you


But you look clear in the path
Of the one who got away

It's you, it's you
Evidence will line up soon
It's you, it's you
I will never lie for you

You thought you were getting away
But you know it isn't right
So you won't be coming home
Won't be coming home, tonight

Never sleep again
Never sleep again

Never sleep again
Never sleep again

It's you, it's you
And now both our hands are tied
So you won't be coming home
Won't be coming home, tonight

It's you, it's you
No escaping it this time
No you won't be coming home
Won't be coming home, tonight


2.Terrible Things

I said you could count on me
But I wouldn't hold that breath my self
If I pass out on your floor
It's just a cry for help
Damnation, redeption the cycle
She said 'Look and see, you're the worst thing that's ever
happened to me'

We're doing terrible things
Just doing terrible things
We're doing terrible things
Doing just terrible things

Still I can't imagine
My life without her
We can't live through this
Somehow we already were

We're doing terrible things
Just doing terrible things
We're doing terrible things
Doing just terrible things

We're terrible things
What are we doing?
Doing just terrible things
Just doing terrible things

Damnation, redeption the cycle
Echoes through my ears
You're the worst thing, You're the worst thing
That's ever happened to me

I never tried it but i'm always up
Am I keeping up?
Am I keeping up?

I never tried it but i'm always up
Am I keeping up?
Am I keeping up?

We're doing terrible things
Just doing terrible things
We're doing terrible things
Why do we do it?

We're doing terrible things
(Am I keeping up? Am I keeping up?)
Doing just terrible things
(Am I keeping up? Am I keeping up?)

We're doing terrible things
(Am I keeping up? Am I keeping up?)
Doing just terrible things
(Am I keeping up? Am I keeping up?)
Such terrible things


3.Conspiracy

I've been living a conspiracy
I tried to see you they put a stop

When I woke up there were crop circles under my eyes
Helicopters in the sky
I was abducted by your ex boyfriend who's with the FBI
You've heard of the anti-christ, the mases too, the CIA
They won't let me see you. I guess you think it sounds crazy

I've been living, I've been living
A conspiracy, conspiracy
I've been living, I've been living
A conspiracy, conspiracy

My friends think i'm out of my mind
And it's proof of the worst
The goverment got to them first
I drove to your work, but they won't let me in
No they won't let me in
You know my daughter put things in my water
So many messages it feels up my doctor
You seem to think i'm crazy
Do you believe?

I've been living, I've been living
A conspiracy, conspiracy
I've been living, I've been living
A conspiracy, conspiracy
Don't you say i'm crazy cause they're out to put a stop to what
we have

They know who we are
And they know who we are

We've been put a list somewhere and
They know who we are
Do you believe?

I've been living, I've been living
Do you believe?
A conspriacy, a conspiracy
Do you believe?

I've been living, I've been living
Do you believe?
A conspriacy, conspiracy
Do you believe?

I've been living, I've been living
Do you believe?
A conspriacy, conspiracy
Do you believe?

I've been living, I've been living
A conspriacy, conspiracy


4.Wrap Me Up

Wrap me up tight
It feels like things will never be the same
I hope that someday you'll forgive me dear

Hold me up high
You've got me hanging on a rope guilty charged
But I don't know what else to do
I'm addicted to hurting you

I was built to fail you
It's part of my design
You're better off without me in your life

Cast me a sign,
I lie here and watch you sleep again
Just knowing you're in peace and i'm in this mess
You can't be mine and I will never be yours again
And theres no amount of medicine to make it right

I was built to fail you
It's part of my design
You're better off without me in your life

I was built to fail you
It's part of my design
You're better off without me in your life

The wait is over
The wait is over

Wrap me up tight

The worst is over
The worst is over

Maybe I did something but I don't deserve this
If you're asking me to let go, the wait is over

I was built to fail you
That I can't deny
I'm better off without you in my life
I'm better off without you in my life
I'm better off without you in my life


5.Up At Night

People ask am I scared
Am I so sure? Am I prepared?
But that's not what keeps me up at night

People say that I must be dumb
If I let you down well i'm sorry son
But that's not what keeps me up at night
No that's not what keeps me up at night

I've been trying for eight hours
In and out for maybe two
Now the sun is at my window
Where were you?

Burning, Burning bright
Our eyes wide open
I bet you could see our town from space, that night

People talk like I should have stayed
Should have played those cards
But I played it out in my head
And I might as well have end up dead
Yeah I might as well be somebody else
And you could take my place instead

I've been trying for eight hours
In and out for maybe two
Now the sun is at my window
Where were you?

Burning, Burning bright
Our eyes wide open
I bet you could see our town from space, that night

We keep on all the lights
We keep them burning bright
The fires they return, They couldn't tell us why
Why we keep on all the light, That's what keeps me up at night

I bet you could see our little town
Burning bright
I bet you could see our little town
Burning bright

I want to go back there

I bet you could see our little town
Burning

I want to go back

That's not what keeps me up at night
That's not what keeps me up at night

I want to go back there

That's not what keeps me up at night

I want to go back there


6.Lullaby

When we reached the car, we found it wasn't there
She asked to hold my hand, I said I didn't care
And though it made her angry, that was the day we fell in love
It makes no difference, today

The money ran out, so we headed home
The house we lived in, was the first she known
And it made her angry when she realized
But it makes no difference in her eyes

I wanna tell the story
But I can't believe

This city sleeps
Except for you and me
'Cause we know better
Yeah we know better

I have travelled oceans
I have swallowed tears
I have looked for one like you for years
It makes no difference now that you a here
It makes no difference today

I wanna tell the story
But I can't believe

This city sleeps
Except for you and me
'Cause we know better
Yeah we know better

This city sleeps
Except for you and me
'Cause we know better
Yeah we know better

It makes no difference now that you are here
It makes no difference today
It makes no difference now that you are here
It makes no difference today, today


7.Intro


8.Been Here Before

You can hide it, when we're talking
But the silence kills
We're pretending but you're remembering
How it used to feel

You've been here before
I can see it on your face
You've been here before
And no bodys going to take his place
And though I want you, you're holding back
And i'll wait, just waiting babe, for you

You're all made up, for your changes
But your mind's not here
Will you wake up, in someone elses bed, for another year?

You've been here before
I can see it on your face
You've been here before
And no bodys going to take his place
And though I want you, you're holding back
And i'll wait, just waiting babe, for you

Now you know you can't go through it all again
Know I wonder what this could have been
I fought this and lost you again

I can see it on your face
You've been here before
And nobodys going to take his place
And i'll wait, just waiting babe, for you

And though I want you, you're holding back
And i'll wait, just waiting babe, for you


9.Can't Be True

I've been waiting for so long
For something I must say
And get off my chest

I know that I was wrong
Know that I hurt you
And how I let you down
I can't be true

I can't be true

We, we almost tried our best
At what we threw away
You know I'll take the blame
And you can have the rest

I know that I was wrong
Know that I hurt you
And how I let you down
I can't be true

What do I do if you don't come back tomorrow?
I know you never will
I'll rise and take a stand
I'm waiting here until

What do I do if you don't come back tomorrow?
I know you never will
I'll rise and take a stand
I'm waiting here until

I can't be true
I can't be true
I can't be true
I can't be true
I can't be true


10.The Hills Of Birmingham

We're heading west again
With standing distances
But all the roads they lead me back to you
We never need a rest
We'll sleep when we're dead
And all the roads they lead me back to you

I dream about the piece I need
I beg the piece that tortures me
And all the roads they lead me back
To something that I always had
They lead me back, lead me back to you

I don't want to be the one to let you down
I don't want to be the one to let you down

I heard six words you said
'We'll sleep when we are dead'
Sleep when we are dead

But theres another turn, up on the road ahead
And theres a monster sleeping in that bend
Did you hear a word that I said?
Did you hear a word?

I don't want to be the one to let you down
I don't want to be the one to let you down

I heard six words you said
'We'll sleep when we are dead'
Sleep when we are dead

What would you say?
What would you say?
What would you say if you were here right now?
What would you say?
Over the darkness seas
What would you say?
Under the moon and then
What would you say if you were here right now

I don't want to be the one to let you down
I don't want to be the one to let you down

I heard six words you said
'We'll sleep when we are dead'
Sleep when we are dead
Sleep when we are dead
Sleep when we are dead

We'll sleep when we are
Sleep when we are under those stars
Think a new start
Sleep when we are dead


11.Not Alone

Don't you ever speak my name
You have let me down again

If I keep you at a distance
Maybe we can both pretend
This never happened

You know I don't want this
But I can't change the way you feel
You can't deny how you kept me waiting

Though I made mistakes
The hardest thing to take is
I know you're not alone
I know you're not alone

I've accepted, expected it
To end like this
I'm ready to fall
(Fall so far down)
We walked that line a hundred times
So I'm not afraid at all
Just get it over with, just end it now

Though I made mistakes
The hardest thing to take is
I know you're not alone
I know you're not alone

I know you're not alone
I know you're not alone

You know I don't want this
You know I don't want this

I know you're not alone

I know you're not alone
I know you're not alone

I know you're not alone

I know you're not
(I know you're not)
I know you're not
(I know you're not alone)
I know you're not alone
(I know you're not alone)


12.Revolution

This is not your saviour
Or the answer to those prayers
I don't believe anyone will take you there
They said the writing on the wall should read
'No one really cares'

This is not a revolution
Till we say it is
Till we say it is

This is not a revolution
Till we say it is
Till we say it is

Have you ever heard the story
Of the parper and the prince?
They traded places, we haven't seen either one ever since
It seems we only want what we don't have, No one ever wins

This is not a revolution
Till we say it is
Till we say it is

This is not a revolution
Till we say it is
Till we say it is

And I got a hundred memories

You only make it harder on yourself
When you faught too long for someone else

You only make it harder on yourself
When you faught too long for someone else
Someone else

This is not a revolution x4

They said the writing on the wall should read
No one really cares, No one really cares

This is not a revolution
No one really cares
This is not a revolution
No one really cares
