(acoustic guitar and piano) (piano) I took the supermarket flowers from the window sill I threw the day old tea from the cup packed up the photo album Mathew had made, memories of a life that's been loved Took the "get well soon" cards and stuffed animals, poured the old ginger beer down the sink Dad always told me, " Don't you cry when your down." but mum there's a tear every time that I blink Oh I'm in pieces its tearin' me up but I know a heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved So I'll sing hallelujah, you were an angel in the shape of my mum When I fell down you'd be there holdin' me up, spread your wings as you go and when God takes you back he'll sing, "Hallelujah, your home" (piano) I fluffed the pillows, made the bed, and stacked the chairs up Folded your nightgown neatly in a case John said he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek, and wiped a tear from the side of my face I hope that I see the world as you did, 'cause I know a life with love is a life that's been lived So I'll sing hallelujah you where an angel in the shape of my mum when I fell down you'd be there holding me up, spread your wings as you go and when God takes you back he'll sing, " Hallelujah your home," (piano) oooooooh Hallelujah your home (piano) Hallelujah your home (piano) Hallelujah, you where an angel in the shape of my mum You got to see the person that I've become spread you wings and I know that when God took you back he said, "Hallelujah your home." Oh God I'm such a mess and the dogs are barking outside have ruined my cover (laughs) (sniffs) I was thinkin' 'bout you, thinkin' 'bout me, thinkin' 'bout us what we gon' be Opened my eyes it was only just a dream so I traveled back down that road Will she come back? no one knows, I realized it was only just a dream I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement number one spot now you found you a replacement I swear now that I can't take it knowing somebody's got my baby now you ain't around baby I can't think I should've put it down, should've got that ring 'Cause I can still feel it in the air See your pretty face run my fingers through your hair, my lover, my life my baby, my wife you left me I'm tied 'cause i know that it just aint right I was thinking bout you, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be Opened my eyes, it was only just a dream So I traveled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows I realized it was only just a dream If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up now they're gone and you wish that you could give them everything If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up now you wish that you could give them every thing I was thinking bout you, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be Opened my eyes, it was only just a dream oh traveled back down that road Will she come- Will she come back? no one knows, it was only just a dream (piano) Open my eyes It was only just a dream it was only just a dream (piano) I know I’m probably better off on my own Than lovin' a man who didn’t know What he had when he had it And I see the permanent damage you did to me Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic I wish it wasn’t four am, standing in the mirror
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it I know The bravest thing I ever did was run Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man And I know why we had to say goodbye Like the back of my hand And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man A better man I know I’m probably better off all alone Than needing a man who could change his mind at any given minute And it’s always on your terms
I’m hanging on every careless word Hoping it might turn sweet again Like it was in the beginning But your jealousy, I can hear it now
You’re talking down to me, like I’ll always be around
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun Boy, you never thought I’d run Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man And I know why we had to say goodbye
Like the back of my hand And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man A better man (piano) And I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have And I gave to you my best and we both know you can’t say that You can’t say that (guitar) Come up to meet you Tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you Tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets And ask me your questions Oh let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tails Heads on a science apart Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh take me back to the start I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling your puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart Tell me you love me Come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start ppp
