Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own

All I can ever be to you
Is a darkness that we know,
And this regret i got accustomed to.

Once it was so right
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night.

I knew i hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why i got so attached.

It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away i have no capacity.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

I don't understand,
Why do i stress a man,
When there's so many bigger things at hand,

We could've never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is an inevitable withdrawal.

Even if i stop wanting you
A perspective pushes true,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.

I couldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above
A blaze.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

I wish i could say no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets.

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In my blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry...

Jamie Lidell - Multiply

Jamie Lidell - Multiply

Well, sure it never used to be, so hard, this hard
Used to get those kicks for free,
But now I’m throwing the line.
Oh, this ain’t no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
Could appear the sun don’t shine, babe
Although I tell you that I’m doing fine

Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile
Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile

Oowee, sure I never used to be
in trouble, so much trouble
Love is just a shackle I see, going out of my mind,
Oh, this ain’t no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
Sun’s going down, it’s getting dark in here
Still folks say I’ve got nothing to fear.

I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile
Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile

People on the street, there are many many
People on the moon, there ain’t any any, shed, hey hey, oho
Calling down the same old hope
Taking it down ‘cause I got no control

I’m so tired, so tired, so tired, so tired,
so tired, so tired, so tired, so tired,
so tired, so tired, so tired, so tired
So tired sohohohohoho tired

Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile
Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile
