Verse 1
When did we become watchers of our lives,
Standing on the side lines, taking bad advice,
Why can we not feel the sunshine through the rain,
Our summer years are fading fast don’t let them be in vain.

Pre chorus
Lost opportunities,
Nothing is free,
This is crazy,

Chorus
We must trust that we can do better,
We can feel regret, but loving is better,
We will believe the future is better,
We lie to ourselves is this better
Is this better


Verse 2
Where is all the pleasure promised with the pain,
Normalised the numbness every day now feels the same,
What you plan in the dark will seep through to the light of day,
We don’t remember signing up to live our lives your way,


Pre chorus
Lost opportunities,
Nothing is free,
This is crazy,


Chorus
We must trust that we can do better,
We can feel regret but loving is better,
We will believe the future is better,
We lie to ourselves is this better
Is this better

Bridge
Everyday more spiralling, contemplating what could have been,
Fear creeps in to kill the buzz, must play it safe, don’t cause a fuss,
Doubt the dreams, the simple path, seems too easy, will they all laugh,
Everyday more spiralling,
More spiralling,
More spirally,




Chorus
We must trust that we can do better,
We can feel regret but loving is better,
We will believe the future is better,
We lie to ourselves is this better
Is this better

Verse1
You were like a novel, with the last two pages missing,
An epic tale, no ending to a great beginning,
Unfinished chapter hidden in my own story,
Bookmark across my heart that’s where you’ll always be,

Connection formed in the pages of the drama,
Your words had the power to make me feel much lighter,
Yet I taught myself to read between the lines,
Where you hid your little white lies time after time.

Chorus
Was it you,
Was it me,
Blame compatibility
What a shame, What a shame,
Oh it really was a shame,

Was it you,
Was it me,
Damn compatibility,
What a shame, What a shame,
Oh it really was a shame,




Verse 2
You were like a movie with an unexpected twist,
Waited patiently but part two did not exist,
Played the hero, played the lover, played the friend,
Never quite the villain but you came close now and then,

Tortured myself with all the false memories of you,
Repeated all the scenes searching for any clue,
Nothing gave away the heart break still to come,
Wished that I had pressed pause I know I’d still be your one.

Chorus
Was it you,
Was it me,
Blame compatibility
What a shame, What a shame,
Oh it really was a shame,

Was it you,
Was it me,
Damn compatibility,
What a shame, What a shame,
Oh it really was a shame,


Bridge
I didn’t want regrets,



Chorus
Was it you,
Was it me,
Blame compatibility
What a shame, What a shame,
Oh it really was a shame,

Was it you,
Was it me,
Damn compatibility,
What a shame, What a shame,
Oh it really was a shame,
Oh it really was a shame,

[Verse 1]
I can’t stick to any plan,
Every day just feels so bland,
More time than ever on my hands,
But my tea has gone stone cold,

Everything is out of reach,
I’m the disappointment of the week,
I want to lay down and sleep,
Forget this ever happened,


[Chorus]
Stormy September skies,
Makes my headache,
Makes me cry,

Release redeeming rain,
Heals my regret,
Helps my pain,

I’m waiting patiently,
Hoping that you return to me,
I’m waiting patiently,
Hoping that you return to me,

[Verse 2]
Stress seeps through to my aura,
Fortnights over no clearer,
Can’t stand to look in the mirror,
Can I hide here in plain sight,

All the doors close in my face,
This whole month is a disgrace,
Progress made has gone to waste,
Hush please overthinking mind,

[Chorus]
Stormy September skies,
Makes my headache,
Makes me cry,

Release redeeming rain,
Heals my regret,
Helps my pain,

I’m waiting patiently,
Hoping that you return to me,
I’m waiting patiently,
Hoping that you return to me,

[Bridge]
I’m waiting,
Memories are fading,
Of how good it used to feel
Was that feeling even real,

[Chorus]
Stormy September skies,
Makes my headache,
Makes me cry,

Release redeeming rain,
Heals my regret,
Helps my pain,

I’m waiting patiently,
Hoping that you return to me,
I’m waiting patiently,
Hoping that you return to me,

[Verse 1]
Gremlin in the system,
Animalistic brain,
Out of control emotions,
Can you feel the pain,
Can you feel the pain,
Can you feel the pain,

Human in the machine,
Fighting for control,
Every day’s a battle,
Who has got more soul,
Who has got more soul,
Who has got more soul,

[Chorus]
Welcome to the real warmth,
Welcome to safety,
Welcome to my home,
But stay away from me,

Welcome to the shelter,
Welcome to the den,
Welcome to the dry place,
But you are not my friend

[Verse 2]
Stare into the void,
Slide into the black,
Realise as you fall,
There is no way back,
There is no way back,
There is no way back,


Master of the matrix,
Dictator of your law,
Unrealistic goals,
Who cares anymore,
Who cares anymore,
Who cares anymore,



[Chorus]
Welcome to the real warmth,
Welcome to safety,
Welcome to my home,
But stay away from me,

Welcome to the shelter,
Welcome to the den,
Welcome to the dry place,
But you are not my friend


[Bridge]
It’s the uninvited guest,
Like a pest,
Seeping through the cracks,
Leaving no tracks,
Who’s scared of who,
I’m terrified of you,
Are you petrified of me,
Eyeing up the enemy


[Chorus]
Welcome to the real warmth,
Welcome to safety,
Welcome to my home,
But stay away from me,

Welcome to the shelter,
Welcome to the den,
Welcome to the dry place,
But you are not my friend

Welcome home,
Welcome home.

[Verse 1]
Life is too short to plan it through,
Not enough time for me and you,
You ask why and I told you,
Just because

The ups and downs will pressure me,
And in the end, I will still see,
The road ahead is so hard,
Just because

[Pre-Chorus]
That’s the way, simply, that’s the way it’s meant to be,
If I like it or not, it’s never going to stop

[chorus]
Just because I don’t like to say,
That doesn't mean that I’m ok,
Just because I’m not very loud,
That doesn't mean I’m not proud,
Just because, you think you know me,
Demanding how you want me to be,
Just because, just because,

[Post Chorus]
Feelings locked away inside,
Mama told me they should hide,
Daddy told me not to cry,
Just because, just because.

[Verse 2]
Mind is trying to control me,
When I want my heart to lead,
Impossible to change my ways,
Just because

You start off young and way too bold,
Don’t use advice that you are told,
You have to do it your own way,
Just because,

[Pre-Chorus]
That’s the way, simply, that’s the way it’s meant to be,
If I like it or not, it’s never going to stop

[Chorus]
Just because I don’t like to say,
That doesn't mean that I’m ok,
Just because I’m not very loud,
That doesn't mean I’m not proud,
Just because, you think you know me,
Demanding how you want me to be,
Just because, just because,

[Post Chorus]
Feelings locked away inside,
Mama told me they should hide,
Daddy told me not to cry,
Just because, just because.

Just because,
