LYRIC: Temporary

There’s only so many times that I can whine that it’s unfair

When there’s nothing I can do to make things better

There’s only so many kinds of heart-break that I can take

Before my heart gets broken down forever

There’s only so many goals that I can watch just disappear

As time marches on not concerned or caring

There’s only so many tolls that I can pay for my mistakes

Without feeling something inside me start tearing

There will be days when you can’t go on

There will be times when everything goes wrong

There will be moments when the pain’s too much

There will be times when hope seems so far away

There’s only so many games that I can be bothered to play

When I know the rules are stacked against my favour

There’s only so many pains that I can take before I die

And I know there is no ever-loving Saviour

There’s only so many fights that I can give a damn to win

Before the sense of loss starts feeling like a habit

There’s only so many nights that I can sit up asking why

There’s something that I need and I don’t have it

There will be days when you can’t go on

There will be times when everything goes wrong

There will be moments when the pain’s too much

There will be times when hope seems so far away

But it’s not always like that, and all the things that seem so bleak

Are only temporary

Though the hurt can weigh you down, don’t forget these open wounds

Are only temporary

When the world sees like too much and cynicism is all you know

It’s only temporary

There’s only so many times that I can whine that it’s unfair

Before whining loses all justification

There’s only so many crimes against my heart that I can bear

Before laughter takes the place of devastation

There’s only so many days that I can wish that I were dead

Before I’m overwhelmed by stunning revelation

That there are so many ways that I can change the way things are

If I recognise and avoid this stagnation

There will be days when you can’t go on

There will be times when everything goes wrong

There will be moments when the pain’s too much

There will be times when hope seems so far away

But it’s OK!

LYRIC: Happy Song

Never really wrote a happy song before

I always concentrate on misery and war

Or how some girl broke my heart

Always neglecting the part

Where I deserved it

But then you came into my life

Made me see the world was much more bright 

Than I had hitherto realised

You opened my eyes

And now I wanna write a happy song for you

But I don’t know what to do

Because I haven’t done it before

It all feels so new

And I don’t know any happy chords

You gotta believe this is a happy tune

Written to put across how my heart is in bloom

And how I’m feeling such joy

Please don’t be annoyed

That it sounds evil

I’m just not used to being happy

Haven’t got the tools to feel this way

But even so, you’ve got to know

That I really do

And now I wanna write a happy song for you

But I don’t know what to do

Because I haven’t done it before

It all feels so new

And I don’t know any happy chords

I wish I did I really do

But I can’t seem to write a happy tune

But now I wanna write a happy song for you

But I don’t know what to do

Because I haven’t done it before

It all feels so new

And I don’t know any happy chords

LYRIC: Glad To Miss You

The start of something new

But I’m not there with you

I wish that I knew then what I know now

Three-thousand miles away

The distance is so great

I wish that I knew then what I know now

But if I could go away from you and just not give a damn

Sure it wouldn’t hurt so much but you must understand

The fact that it hurts makes it real

These feelings that we feel

The pain in our hearts seals the deal

And I’m so glad that I have you to miss today

I want to be with you

It’s simple but it’s true

I wish that I knew then what I know now

Plans made in darker times

Forced us to say goodbye

I wish that I knew then what I know now

But if I could say goodbye to you and just not give a damn

Sure it wouldn’t hurt so much but you must understand

The fact that it hurts makes it real

These feelings that we feel

The pain in our hearts seals the deal

And I’m so glad that I have you to miss today

I know I’m far away

But it’ll be ok

In just a few more days

I’ll be with you

I know right now I’m gone

But it won’t be for long

Please baby just hold on

These last few days…

The start of something new

So glad that I miss you

And glad that I know now what I know now

I’m counting down the days

‘til I see you again

And glad that I know now what I know now

Because if I could leave you far behind and just not give a damn

Sure it wouldn’t hurt so much but you must understand

The fact that it hurts makes it real

These feelings that we feel

The pain in our hearts seals the deal

And I’m so glad that I have you to miss today

I’m so glad

That I have you

I’m so glad that I have you to miss today
