Paloma Faith - Picking Up The Pieces
Do you think of her?
When you're with me?
Repeat the memories you made together
Whose face do you see?
Do you wish I was a bit more like her?
Am I too loud?
I play the clown
To cover up all these doubts
Perfect heart
She's flawless
She's the other woman
Shining in her splendor
You were lost
Now she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry
But you don't see that I'm the one by your side
'Cause she's gone
In her shadow is it me you see?
'Cause all that's left is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces she left behind
I found a photograph behind the TV
You look so happy are you missing the way it used to be?
And I have changed this room around more often lately
It's clear that we
And these four walls
Still known as hers and yours
Perfect part
She's flawless
She's the other woman
Shining in her splendor
You were lost
Now she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry
But you don't see that I'm the one by your side
'Cause she's gone
In her shadow is it me you see?
'Cause all that's left is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces she left behind
Are we liars in denial?
Are we smoke without the fire?
Tell me please is this worth it?
I deserve it
'Cause she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry
But you don't see that I'm the one by your side
'Cause she's gone
In her shadow is it me you see?
'Cause all that's left is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces
She left behind
Oh, I'm picking up the pieces
Of a broken heart
Who will save them?
Who will save them?
I'm picking up the pieces
Oh, I'm picking up the pieces
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tinie Tempah - Not Letting Go Ft. Jess Glynne
Yeah, ready for the summer, girl, your hair looks killa
See your batty getting bigger but your waist looks slimmer
And I hope I'm still with you when your hair get thinner
I ain't gotta work it out, I know I'm onto a winner
And I love it when I see you sing a song in the mirror
When you play your favourite records where there ain't no filler
Chicky-cha, chicky-chicky-cha, Sade, J Dilla
Now I'm on the right track, from the train to the limo
Now we're on the right track (right track), yeah
Used to know me back in college, now I got it like that
Could have got the side track, now I'm back on my feet
If I hadn't achieved, would you pack up and leave
Now you scratchin' on me like we're Adam and Eve
Playing remix to Ignition in the back of the Jeep, ah
She like the hook but she don't know the verse
She know I love her even if I never say the words
You were something I can't replace
You made my heart work
You make me stronger
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
You were something I can't replace
You made my heart work
You make me stronger
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Livin' in a bubble, we ain't struggling in life
Ready for your trouble and a couple of fights
Why don't you stay over here and keep me up in the night
And when you comin' in here, I'll do you just like you like
Girl I'm ready for your loving, girl I keep on falling
You my lucky number that I keep on calling
Wanna never let me go, she said she fed up of touring
Because I kiss her in the night and then I leave in the morning
I tell her one, already know she the one
She's 22, we in Le Fountain Blu
And when she's free, you know she call on me
Then I make her take it off and pull it all on me
Playing in the sheets, don't sleep tonight
Playing R. Kelly I believe I can fly, yeah
She like the hook but she don't know the verse
She know I lover her even if I never say the words
You were something I can't replace
You made my heart work
You make me stronger
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
You were something I can't replace
You made my heart work
You make me stronger
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Oi my size, I see you're quite shy
Guess I'm a sucker for those nice eyes
I ain't in it for the money or the fame
I'm the one that all the honeys couldn't tame, yo I change
(You make my heart work, you make me stronger)
You know I changed
(This thing we have, it can't be bought or sold, now)
You were something I can't replace
You made my heart work
You make me stronger
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
You were something I can't replace
You made my heart work
You make me stronger
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not letting go, I'm not letting go
