I wanna find cliff
don't wanna jump off it
I just wanna scream
And let it fall of the edge and take you to your death far away from me
Well your one half a lover, one half a liar, one half works ten times as hard as the other
I'll let you decide which one wins that fight, either way I need you out of my life
Ah oo I don't wanna love you anymore
No, you let it drip I let it pour
You take and take like its your favourite sport
So I don't want to you anymore
You said you miss having me around, well I think you just miss letting me down
and watching while I fall placing bets if I'll break like a toy or a plate, but then again I am insane...
Sorry I'm so sensitive and overly emotional you ask the boys the censuses serves me right, I should have known that boys will be boys no they don't have a choice, and girls will be patient and sit there and take it
Ah oo I don't wanna love you anymore
No, you let it drip I let it pour
You take and take like its your favourite sport
So I don't want to you anymore no
Ooo
Ahh
One day I hope you have a daughter who lights up your whole world
She flips your ideas upside down tables turned
You might write me a letter that's full of regret
Cause you'd kill any man who'd dare treat her like that
I won't be bitter so I'll write you back
I'll tell you I've got a son who's a catch
And I'd told him about you, how you did me wrong
Now he has to choose what kinda man he becomes
oo I don't wanna love you anymore
No, you let it drip I let it pour
You take and take like its your favourite sport
So I don't want to you anymore no no
I don't wanna love you anymore
You take and take like its your favourite sport
So I don't want to you anymore
Oo I don't think I love you, anymore

I did my makeup on the train today
Cause I’m disorganised and always late
and if I called you up you’d tell me straight
I need to
sort it out it’s not the way I was raised
if you could see me you'd say take it slow
we weren’t built to pass on rest I know
I shouldn’t look around me for my pace to grow
sometimes the brightest blossoms bloom a little slow
But lately everything’s been sad
and your advice it doesn’t come as fast
maybe I’ve got too much going on to ask
if I shut you out I take it all back
and ever since my brothers left
I’ve noticed you’re not at your best
don’t think you want this empty nest like we do
and I heard you’ve been talking to your sunflowers cause you miss me
and though you wanna call you only do it once in every fifty times
I cross your mind and if you’re
thinking I don’t miss you back
come on now
Look again you know me better than that
I’ll walk you through if you still need convincing
You know I’ve always needed space and time
I let a lot of thoughts run round my mind
and catching all of them can take a while so
if you don’t hear from me I’m probably fine
some things I don’t want you to know
like I’ve been wasting time not letting go
of things I should’ve fought so long ago
thought I know you’d just say look how you’ve grown
or do you need a little cash
I’d say I’m good but thank you dad
It’s just my pride you know I get that from you
and I heard you’ve been talking to your sunflowers cause you miss me
and though you wanna call you only do it once in every fifty times
I cross your mind and if you’re
thinking I don’t miss you back
come on now
Look again you know me better than that
I’ll walk you through if you still need convincing
I fill my head with skinny girls and pretty boys who have the world
and wouldn’t see me as the pearl that you do
Am I growing up or growing down
it’s hard to navigate around
But truth is I just wanna be more like you
and I heard you’ve been talking to your sunflowers
Talking to your sunflowers
Talking to your sunflowers
cause you miss me

Tell me when you’re coming home
Ill pour another glass of wine for you
Tell you it’s ok to cry
I’ll be here all night
It’s no wonder that you feel alone
He made a lot of empty promises
Getting over it’ll take some time
But I’ll be here all night
Don’t be too hard on yourself
I know
You wont feel like this forever
No you won’t
You don’t have to ask
I’ll share the weight its ok that you’re learning
I’m still learning too
You don’t have to say a word
There’s something bout the way you hang your head
The heaviness
I know you’re blaming yourself
You think you should’ve known better
And you think you’ll never be enough
I wish that you could look through different eyes
I’ll lend you mine
Until you’re ready to try to see with your own
Don’t be too hard on yourself
I know
You wont feel like this forever
No you wont
You don’t have to ask
I’ll share the weight it’s ok that you’re learning
I’m still learning too
Don’t be too hard on yourself
Don’t be too hard on yourself
I know
You wont feel like this forever
No you wont
You don’t have to ask
I’ll share the weight its ok that you’re learning
Ooooo
I’m still learning too
Tell me when you’re coming home
I’ll pour another glass of wine for you

Another Casanova
I’m still thinking bout Jake from Minnesota
And although it was a fleeting fling
Let’s pretend we could have been something
That boy came out of nowhere
Now I can’t wash his fingers out of my hair
And I hope it’s stuck to all his clothes
So he’ll think of me when he hits the road
I’ll keep the hat he left behind him as a souvenir
Maybe I’ll re-feel the feeling in a couple years
If he’d asked I wouldn’t send it back
It’s not like me to get so attached
To kiss a stranger and hope he’ll miss me
Must be something in the whiskey
Felt like he’d always been beside me
Now we’re making plans we’re moving to Hawaii
Well I’ve never been but it looks nice
He said it’s beautiful I’ll book the flights
He’s what my mum would call a charmer
And I’d say he’s no match for my rock solid armour
But his pretty eyes and pearly whites
And polished lines put up a fight
And I could tell
He loves his sister note to self
Look for that in someone else
3 thousand miles closer would help
Says he’ll meet me in Chicago but he’ll never show
I’m a clever girl know better than to hold out hope
Said don’t lead me on here if you don’t mean it
Swear to meet me if you can keep it
Keep your right words for the right girl
Let’s keep it light so no one gets hurt
My little heart just started jumping
Don’t make it sink there’s no need to crush it
Say this was dreamy, nice to meet me
Just don’t blame it on the whisky
I care more than I’d care to admit
That when endings come they don’t even ask if we’re ready for it
So maybe I’ll think about his face
And how over time ours could change
Cause life is long and memories fade
But I’m happy with this one
In a week or 2 I’m sure he won’t recall my name
I’ll be just the Irish girl he met in Nashville by mistake
But it was sweet and I’ve learnt to see
That it’s ok to feel and let it be
To kiss a stranger and hope he’ll miss me
No need to blame it on the whiskey
Oh I’m still thinking bout
Jake from Minnesota
