1.Why Do You Try So Hard To Hate Me?

Lyricist:Alexander Marshall White, Thomas James White

Sometimes, I wake up in the sun
Everyday, it burns me like no-one
Could ever be like me
Everyone has faltered now we're gone

You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard?

Sometimes, I wake up in the sun
Everyday, it burns me like no-one
Could ever be like me
Everyone has faltered now we're gone

You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard?

So take your songs tonight
I don't feel the hurt inside
I am bruised and I am broken
And don't I feel the hurt inside
I am taking my exit now
I am making my exit now
And I'm not sure where I'll be

You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard to hate me?
You're so bitter, I don't get it
Why do you try so hard?


2.There's a Silence

Lyricist:Alex White, Tom White

I sit on the edge
I'm scared to look down
I look away for a second
And I see you shut ourselves in

And are you aware
There's a rift between us?
I can't think what it means
I only ask myself why is it there

And there's a silence
When you walk into the room
And I don't feel I'm in control
Oh no

I sit on the edge
I'm scared to look down
I look away for a second
And I see you shut ourselves in

And are you aware
Of this rift between us?
Yeah, I can't think what it means
I only ask myself why is it there

And there's a silence
When you walk into the room
And I don't feel I'm in control
No

And there's a silence
When you walk into the room
And I don't feel I'm in control
Oh no


3.Bruxellisation

Lyricist:Alex White, Thomas White

That could've been me
I don't know how
The door was open
But I couldn't go

And now the evening's here
You look so sad
But nothing's changed since then
And time is on my side
But if you lie
I'll always be behind

That could've been me
I don't know how
The door was open
But I couldn't go

And now the evening's here
You look so sad
But nothing's changed since then
And time is on my side
But if you lie
I'll always be behind


4.Lose Yr Frown

Lyricist:Darrell Branch, Dennis Coles, Kurt Walker

Let's begin again
And take me back to then
I want to see the end
Of what has gone before

And I'll be grateful for
The things I had before
I couldn't miss you more
Than I do now

Don't try to shut me out
When all I want is what you have
And in time you know that all of this will pass

I'm not the one that let you down
I'm not the one who'll get you out
I'm just answering the questions that you asked

So let's begin again
And take me back to then
I want to see the end
Of what has gone before

And I am grateful for
The things I had before
I couldn't miss you more
Than I do now

Don't try to shut me out
When all I want is what you have
And in time you know that all of this will pass

I'm not the one that let you down
I'm not the one who'll get you out
I'm just answering the questions that you asked

I am grateful for
The things I had before
I couldn't miss you more
Than I do now

Let's begin again
And take me back to then
I want to see the end

Don't try to shut me out
When all I want is what you have
And in time you know that all of this will pass

So come on and lose your frown
I'm not the one that brought you down
I might be wrong but I'm not trying to pretend


5.Things I've Done Before

Lyricist:Alex White

You need some time alone, I need to stop before I fall
Back to the part I hate, back to the things I've done before

Still I walk along with no sense of where I've gone
If it's more than what I hoped, for then I'd hope that I was
wrong

It makes no difference to the things I'll never see
You might feel a change but I can't change the way I feel

It's all been lost and I don't love you anymore
That's what she says as she's walking out the door


6.Silent to the Dark

Lyricist:Tom White

Small talk on the radio
It seems I am going nowhere today
Small talk gets you nowhere choose
Between a curtain or a star and I'm silent to the dark

'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

Small talk on the radio
It seems I am going nowhere today
(Not today)
Small talk gets you nowhere
I'm silent to the dark and tepid only when you ask

'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

When I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

And you can do anything you want
Yeah, you can anything you want
You can do anything you want
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter

'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

When I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

When I needed someone
To talk to, to talk to, to talk to

'Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
