Star-Crossed Love and Lies - Avery & Emmeline Vance & Remus Lupin
For Change and Loss and Star-Crossed Love and Lies - Avery & Vance & Lupin
i can see the hearts sinking
Part I | Part II | Part III
oo1. RED † nanuchka [lyrics]
Do you remember
Queen of hearts in your card deck?
Placing her in in my pocket
You said, "I'll love you forever"
oo2. HEARTBEAT † scouting for girls [lyrics]
Doing all I can do, just to be close to you.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
Always up for a laugh, she's a pain in the ass.
Every time that we meet, I skip a heartbeat.
I skip a heartbeat for you.
oo3. ABOUT A GIRL † the academy is... [lyrics]
Last night I knew what to say
But you weren't there to hear it
These lines so well rehearsed
Tongue tied and overloaded
You'll never notice
oo4. TO THE BEAT OF OUR NOISY HEARTS † matt nathanson [lyrics]
She don't lie in bed at night
Staring at the ceiling
She don't wait to begin
She bets on long shots
She wants what they've got
She skates where the ice thins
oo5. WHEN DID YOUR HEART GO MISSING † rooney [lyrics]
Love don't come so easily
This doesn't have to end in tragedy
I have you and you have me
We're one in a million
Why can't you see?
I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
oo6. BROKEN HEART † motion city soundtrack [lyrics]
So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
You never get used to it, you just have to live with it
oo7. UNDER THE PAVING STONES † the like [lyrics]
Somewhere there's a different kind of time,
When children weren't too bored to
Lose their lives
For change and loss
And star-crossed love and lies
But who today can find that kind of time?
Cuz nothing's still so urgent to inspire
A person to reclaim that kind of fire
And hey, haven't you heard?
You have the right to make a move
You've everything to gain
And only boredom left to lose
Haven't you heard?
It's up to everyone to prove
A leader only leads when no one else knows what to do
oo8. LOW FIDELITY † the spill canvas [lyrics]
Wish I could hold you up in my arms,
Keep you safe and sound from any harm.
I can't seem to function from this far away,
And every little moment looks so dull without your color in my day.
Oh, it feels so good to hear you speak.
This is where I start to miss you more than I can bear,
I hate this distance in between us, I don't think it's fair.
All my time spent wondering
How to stay true to you,
But you're not here,
And now I fear I'll never get back to you.
oo9. LIPSTICK LICKING † milburn [lyrics]
The big boy wont let you go, he says to apologise
And I know were in for it when somebody wanders over just to smack him right between the eyes
But the thought of you in my mind knows I'm never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both were singing the same song
o10. I CAUGHT MYSELF † paramore [lyrics]
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought of you
I knew,
I know in my heart it's not you, I knew
But now I know what I want, I want, I want
Oh no, I should have never thought!
o11. IT'S SO SIMPLE † saosin [lyrics]
I've caught you lying to yourself
Now everything is spinning round and around
Well I'm a fool to watch but never say
Are you bothered by the choice you made
o12. WAITING FOR GO † the dykeenies [lyrics]
Memory has served me far too well
Science knows not to dwell
Until it finds you
Terrified of you but not running away
My heart it was a stage and never played the game
Sick of always seeing the subtitles again
You've got the wrong message running through your brain
o13. SINKING HEARTS † the organ [lyrics]
Remember when I left you
I couldn't say your name
Or other crucial things like I love you,
Oh, that's a shame
Oh no, I think I'm falling
Oh no, I think I'm fine
Our hearts didn't come together
But I saw the two collide
o14. LOOK THROUGH MY WINDOW † the mamas & the papas [lyrics]
We both knew people sometimes change
And lovers sometimes rearrange;
And nothing's quite as sure as change---
And the rain beats on my roof...
Look through my window
To the street below;
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go---
And I know I should let go...
o15. C'MERE † interpol [lyrics]
It's way too late to be this locked inside ourselves
The trouble is that you're in love with someone else
It should be me.
Oh, it should be me
o16. COMFORTING LIE † no doubt [lyrics]
Don't gasp at the predictable
A comforting lie can't last
Preordained checklist of this awkward love
It's so sad
...
I can't decide
This tug of war
I'm feeling weak
o17. VINDICATED † dashboard confessional [lyrics]
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized to overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so
Isolated so
Motivated
I am
Certain now that I am
Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am
Flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself
o18. GIVE UP? † hot hot heat [lyrics]
They all warned me of her crime
Cut your losses while there's time
Don't try to warn me, Don't try to warn me
Don't try to warn me, I said
I make my own mistakes
You don't know what she's like
I'll make my own mistakes again
But all I know is all I got's
Frustration, Frustration
o19. THE SOUND OF SETTLING † death cab for cutie [lyrics]
My brain's repeating
If you've got an impulse let it out
But they never make it past my mouth
...
And I'll sit and wonder
Of every love that could've been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say
This is the sound of settling
I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots
o20. BLAME ME! BLAME ME! † anberlin [lyrics]
Torturing ourselves
We must be into the abuse
If you're the rope that ties us together
Than please make me a noose
Ask me to leave
Then beg me just to stay
Used to run to my arms
But now I walk away
Come and go as you please
I'm like a part time lover
With well worn knees
Well come on!
Blame Me! Blame Me! Blame Me!
For mistakes you make but you can't own
Hate Me! Hate Me! Hate Me!
For every honest word that you postpone
Leave me out of this
Your life's a sinking ship
So blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you've made but you can't own
o21. THINK TWICE † eve 6 [lyrics]
What is it you really want
I'm tired of asking
...
When I showed up and he was there
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but didn't stop at the street
And as we speak I'm going down
Cause she spread her love
And burnt me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
o22. THE WAY THINGS ARE † fiona apple [lyrics]
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance
If you gave it to me
I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance
It'd race right through me
...
I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice
It'd roll right past me
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice
So don't even ask me
I'm much better off, the way things are
Much much better off, better by far
o23. YOU COULD BE HAPPY † snow patrol [lyrics]
Is it too late to remind you how we were
And not our last days of silent screaming blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should've stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
o24. YOUR EYES OPEN † keane [lyrics]
That it's a lonely place that you have run to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
And it's a lonely end that you will come to
Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
For a moment your eyes open and you know
All the things I ever wanted you to know
I don't know you, and I don't want to
Till the moment your eyes open and you know
o25. HARDEST OF HEARTS † florence and the machine [lyrics]
There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in
...
My heart swells like a water and waves
Can't stop myself before it's too late
Hold on to your heart
'Cause I'm coming to take it
Hold on to your heart
'Cause I'm coming to break it
o26. PRETEND † secondhand serenade [lyrics]
It seems all of these words couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here? What did I do?
Your eyes, telling me lies
And making me find myself
While you have your agenda, a life to pursue
...
Put down your world
Just for one night
Pick me again
So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth
o27. ALL THE SAME † sick puppies [lyrics]
Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But in-between it always seems too long
or sudden
But I have the skill, yeah
I have the will, to breath you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am
I don't mind, I don't care
As long as you're here
...
Go ahead say it!
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are now
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
o28.WHY DID YOU STAY? † the pipettes [lyrics]
You used to tell me that you love me everyday
(I didn't know what to say)
But there was never any doubt I always knew
That to me you stayed true
But my heart never could be so committed
So all my transgressions you permitted
...
I was so cruel
(He was so kind)
Why did I feel I had to leave you behind?
(But he was so sweet)
Oh yeah
Well I've had just about enough of sweet
...
Why did you stay?
(What did you say?)
Why did you stay with me?
o29. PLEASE † ludo [lyrics]
I lie awake and memorize your face
as you sleep next to me.
The falling moon is calling me as I leave.
Sunrise slowly, the road looms lonely
but I will not fail...
Please save this for me
I'll come back for you, love, I promise to
Please save this for me, for until I return
my love will burn and my heart will stay.
My heart will stay.
o30. REWIND † deas vail [lyrics]
I promise you we'll be fine now...
Just wait until the morning light.
Ghosts will come in these night hours,
But they're forgotten when the sun comes up.
I've watched my life through windows.
This is how it feels
To break up sound waves and fall into a quiet place.
This is how it feels to stay the same and leave your side.
o31. STRAY ITALIAN GREYHOUND † vienna teng [lyrics]
Oh no not now
Please not now
I just settled into the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so why now
Please not now
I just stopped believing in happy endings
Harbors of my own
...
I'm not that kind
I'm so good at shooting down any notion
This tired world could change
It's all been bought
Or at least that was my line
No use in spending all that emotion
When there's someone else to blame
o32. STAR CROSSED † scary kids scaring kids [lyrics]
Star crossed lovers
They say we're not meant to be
'Cause the stars in the sky, and the fashion that they are aligned.
I say if the future’s been drawn out there's no point in living.
I won't give up my love so that fate can have its way.
...
Is it over?
(Are you saying that you’d really listen?)
...
If the stars say that you cannot love.
(The stars keep this fire from burning out)
If the stars say that you cannot love me.
o33. MOCKINGBIRD † rob thomas [lyrics]
Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend?
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in?
...
I don't wanna love you now, if you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around, if you'll just walk away
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move on and we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain’t meant for this love
o34. SOUND OF WATER † sarah slean [lyrics]
Sometimes the sword is so heavy
My pain has a ravenous mouth
In the pits of my own making
Sometimes I don’t think I'll ever get out
Oh, the world stroking the comas
Madmen making the news
Bent over like a beggar
I was saying "it's no use"
This ain't a world for intelligent women
Unless you like swimming your own dark sea
...
Wide awake and hope-infected
I became a glittering queen
Every light in my direction
Was a bright, magnificent green.
o35. THAT'S OKAY † the hush sound [lyrics]
You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad
...
You want to go back to where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter
See your mother's face
Your childhood home is just powder white bones
And you'll never find your way back
o36. MONOCHROME † yann tiersen [lyrics]
Anyway, I can try anything
It's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.
...
But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.
Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.
o37. THE RESOLUTION † jack's mannequin [lyrics]
When I think I'm letting go
I find my body it's still burning
...
Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
Yeah I just need life
I'll be lying in the dark
As I search for the resolution
o38. WE'VE GOT A BIG MESS ON OUR HANDS † the academy is... [lyrics]
I've got that lefty curse
Where everything that I do is flipped
And awkwardly reversed
You're seldom known and barely missed
I always put myself
In destructive situations
I need oxygen
To be exposed where no one goes
Where no one's been
When it all comes crashing--

I skip a heartbeat for you.

I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?

I say if the future’s been drawn out there's no point in living.
I won't give up my love so that fate can have its way.
...
Is it over?
(Are you saying that you’d really listen?)
...
If the stars say that you cannot love.
(The stars keep this fire from burning out)
If the stars say that you cannot love me.
o33. MOCKINGBIRD † rob thomas [lyrics]
Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend?
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in?
...
I don't wanna love you now, if you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around, if you'll just walk away
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move on and we can't stay here
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain’t meant for this love
o34. SOUND OF WATER † sarah slean [lyrics]
Sometimes the sword is so heavy
My pain has a ravenous mouth
In the pits of my own making
Sometimes I don’t think I'll ever get out
Oh, the world stroking the comas
Madmen making the news
Bent over like a beggar
I was saying "it's no use"
This ain't a world for intelligent women
Unless you like swimming your own dark sea
...
Wide awake and hope-infected
I became a glittering queen
Every light in my direction
Was a bright, magnificent green.
o35. THAT'S OKAY † the hush sound [lyrics]
You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad
...
You want to go back to where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter
See your mother's face
Your childhood home is just powder white bones
And you'll never find your way back
o36. MONOCHROME † yann tiersen [lyrics]
Anyway, I can try anything
It's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.
...
But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.
Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.
o37. THE RESOLUTION † jack's mannequin [lyrics]
When I think I'm letting go
I find my body it's still burning
...
Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
Yeah I just need life
I'll be lying in the dark
As I search for the resolution
o38. WE'VE GOT A BIG MESS ON OUR HANDS † the academy is... [lyrics]
I've got that lefty curse
Where everything that I do is flipped
And awkwardly reversed
You're seldom known and barely missed
I always put myself
In destructive situations
I need oxygen
To be exposed where no one goes
Where no one's been
When it all comes crashing--
