Take It Back 04:46
Do you remember when I was young? You said I was the one to blame For all the pain you caused me And all the things that I became So this is why I need to ask you To set me free just like you want to And never try and take me back again Do you remember who I am And all we did together All the times we fought side by side? Tonight I ask you To take back all of the things that you said All of the things that you did Take them back and then I’ll forgive you And take back all of the times that you lied All of the times that I cried Take it back tonight I need you to take it back tonight All I remember from when I was young Is how I wanted you to know There was nothing more that I could give to you And time apart has made me stronger So this is why I need to ask you To set me free just like you want to And never try and take me back again

The Killing 04:06
When I’m looking back and thinking about us Well I’ll always wonder why I didn’t try harder To let you go ‘Cause one thing I’ll always remember Is what you thought I’d never know You’d always get your way Always have the last word But try as you might You’ll never silence me No you’ll never silence me You showed me your world But I’ll show you rejection You’ll never crawl your way back to me You’re out of my life I’m gone And everything you thought I should be Is out of my mind I’m gone You showed me your world But I’ll show you rejection I’m gone You should have known that I can’t conform To something I don’t believe in Oh no, no, no I can’t shake the thought or the feeling That you left in me When you said goodbye You ran away, spent time with everybody else And then you tried to say You only care for me You can’t win I won’t give you the last word And try as you might you’ll never silence me No you’ll never silence me Just turn around and look for me You’ll find I’m gone

No Way Back 03:40
After all is said and done
 I know that you won’t be the one 
To tell me things will be alright
 To stand tall and stay by my side Don’t deny, I know it’s true
 Nothing that I ever do
 Will ever be good enough for you
 But I’ll never let you drag me down I didn’t want to let you go
 But there comes a time when you have to know
 I can’t forget all that you’ve done
 And I know I’m not the only one And now there’s no way back
 (No no way back)
 And now there’s no way back
 (No no way back)
 And now there's no way back
 (No no way back)
 And now there's no there’s no way back for you I wonder if you realise what you’ve done 
If the guilt that you feel is making you numb
 Or if you’d even understand This last year passed by in a blur
 While you hurt everyone around you
 Have you forgotten what we were And to this day I wonder 
What happened to the you I used to know
 Where did you go?
 And now I realise 
That you’ll never understand
 That there’s no way back for you

Without You 04:28
Don’t know where I’m going
 But I’m leaving knowing
 That I’m never coming back
 After all I’ve been though
 ‘Cause of things that you do 
I just can’t keep up the act Took too long to notice
 You’re the one who showed this 
Darker side of me to the world
 Something never felt right
 So I’m leaving tonight
 I really need to be heard 

I won’t play your games anymore
 Because we both know that’s not what my heart’s for
 And though I can’t forget what you did to me
 I’m getting out now 

I gave too much of myself away 
But I’ll take it back tonight
 And tomorrow’s a new day
 Without you You’ve been living in denial 
You never made me smile
 And tonight you stand accused 
 Thought you’d swept me off my feet 
But you danced a different beat 
I was only there to be used If there’s one thing I regret 
It’s that it’s not over yet
 It’s just the kind of thing that you do 
Took me far too long to know 
It was time to let you go
 I’m better off without you I won’t play your game so I can’t lose
 And I’m letting go tonight 
And tomorrow’s a new day
 Without you

Flame 05:18
When the waters rise 
And splash round my feet 
Is when my world comes crashing down 
And I start to feel weak

 As the smoke clouds up the sky
 And I can barely breathe
 I think it’s time to put an end
 To all that we believed

 But you don’t have to tell me
 I know that I should stay
 After everything we torched
 I won’t let us burn away

 ‘Cause the fire in my heart
 Burns brighter in the dark

 I see you turn your face away
 But I know that it won’t help
 You can close your eyes
 But you can’t blind yourself You can’t hide from what you’ve done
 No, we have to share the guilt
 And there’s nowhere left to run 
Now we’ve burnt the life we built

 There’s a flame in my soul and it burns for you
 There’s a fire in my heart so we’ll make it through
 Whatever the world tries to throw our way 
We’re gonna burn it down every single day And when I burn
 You’ll burn with me
