Second Hand Heart lyrics - Ben Haenow (feat. Kelly Clarkson)

[Ben Haenow:]

The light of the morning finds you sleeping in my bed

And it's not like the stories, it's never like what they said

I know who you want me to be, but I'm just not there yet

Yeah, the broken road's always been home and it's so hard to forget

[Ben Haenow:]

Wait for me now

Will you wait for me now?

[Ben Haenow:]

I might think too much, drink too much, stay out too late

I know I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change

I can't steal you the stars

But I can give you this second hand heart

All your friends think I'm hopeless, they don't understand

That this imperfect love can start over again

It's been broken apart

Will you still take my second hand heart?

[Kelly Clarkson:]

Yeah, the light of the morning finds you sleeping in my bed, oh

And it's not like the stories, it's never like what they said

And I know who you want me to be, but I'm just not there yet

Yeah, the broken road's always been home and it's so hard to forget

[Both:]

I might think too much, drink too much, stay out too late

I know I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change

I can't steal you the stars

But I can give you this second hand heart

All your friends think I'm hopeless, they don't understand

That this imperfect love can start over again

It's been broken apart

Will you still take my second hand heart?

[Ben Haenow (Kelly Clarkson):]

If you let me show you, I could love you the same

And I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day

Oh, you know they'll never tear us apart

And I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change

(Swear you can change)

I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day

(Try everyday)

And you know, you've got my second hand heart

Won't you wait for me?

[Kelly Clarkson (both):]

You might think too much, drink too much, stay out too late

I know you've been a fool, but I swear you can change

I can't (steal you the stars

But I can give you this second hand heart), Woooah

[Both (Ben Haenow):]

All your friends think I'm hopeless, they don't understand

That this imperfect love can start over again

(Start over again)

It's been broken apart

Will you still take my second hand heart?

(Take my second hand heart)

[Both:]

And I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change

And I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day

Oh, you know, you've got my second hand heart

And I'm just a fool, but I swear I can change

And I can't steal you the stars, but I can try every day

You, you know, you've got my second hand heart

Slamming Doors lyrics - Ben Haenow

We're just running around in circles

We forgot how this began

And all the hurt and all the pain

Take us up and down again

Wasn't plain

I've been taking you for granted

You've been taking me for a fool

Traveling down the road of second chances

We rolled out a few

If this isn't love

Then why do we fight for it

If this isn't love

Then why do we cry for it

Why do we scream and we shout

You walk in, I walk out

But we never give up

Don't tell me if this isn't love

This isn't love

All the trouble that we're making

Is still worth a while

Even when my heart is slowly breaking

You still make me smile

If this isn't love

Then why do we fight for it

If this isn't love

Then why do we cry for it

Why do we scream and we shout

You walk in, I walk out

But we never give up

Don't tell me if this isn't love

And even when you're slamming doors

You slamming mine, I'm slamming yours, babe, that's okay

As long as we stay together

We could make the same mistakes

We burning bridges every day

Babe, that's okay

As long as you stay

If this isn't love

Then why do we fight for it

If this isn't love

Then why do we cry for it

Why do we scream and we shout

You walk in, I walk out

But we never give up

Don't tell me if this isn't love

Then why do we fight for it

If this isn't love

Then why do we cry for it

Why do we scream and we shout

You walk in, I walk out

But we never give up

If this isn't love

All Yours lyrics - Ben Haenow

Yeah I've been careless since I've been away

Now you ain't picking up the phone

You get to thinking I will lead astray

But baby you couldn't be more wrong

They say these bright lights will make you blind

But all I see is you all the time

The thing is all of this is for you and me

I'm all yours

All the love, sweat and tears that you give to me

I'm all yours

I heard their poison, they're telling you lies

You act like I'm already gone

I heard them say it's just a matter of time

Someday I'll be moving on

If all these bright lights would change my mind

But all I know is you, you and I

The thing is all of this is for you and me

I'm all yours

All the love, sweat and tears that you give to me

I'm all yours

So hold on, hold on

No I won't live without you

Oh no, no I won't even try

Take my hand, take my love

See the world goes on

I'm all yours

So take these shackles all off of me

You want to see where I run

Oh, I know, that I'll only come back onto you

The thing is all of this is for you and me

I'm all yours

All the love, sweat and tears that you give to me

I'm all yours

So hold on, hold on

No I won't live without you

Oh no, no I won't even try

Take my hand, take my love

See the world goes on

I'm all yours

Start Again lyrics - Ben Haenow

And now I

I'm running out of time

So let me tell you

From the start from the start, yeah

You put a fire in my heart in my heart, yeah

And it stay never changed

And I will never give it up, give it up, yeah

No I will never give you up, give you up, yeah

We rise our voices

'til there's no secrets

And we break and we mend, pick it up and we start again

I know we are not perfect

We can't pretend

'cause we're fine and forget and we just start again

When we fight we forget, yeah, we just start again

All the scars, all the hurt

For a minute then it's alright, it's alright

It's like we die and then we come back to life

And we hope on to open up

And we can feel it when it's wrong, when it's wrong, yeah

But we need it when it's gone, when it's gone, yeah

We rise our voices

Till there's no secrets

And we break and we mend pick it up and we start again

I know we're not perfect

We can't pretend

'cause we're fine and forget, yeah, and we just start again

We don't need to tell the moment

I'm not sleeping till it's over

We know we're all gonna do this again

We can't ever let it go

We can't ever let it go

And we rise our voices

Till there's no secrets

And we break and we mend, pick it up and we start again

I know we're not perfect

We can't pretend

'cause we're fine and forget, yeah, we just start again

When we fight we forget, yeah, we just start again

Lions lyrics - Ben Haenow

Everything that's gone before

Doesn't matter anymore

Here we stand

Now hold my hand

Spinning like a satellite

Caught up in your shadow

And I don't know why

But I'm hypnotized

And I wanna get thrown to the lions

You got my heart right open here

In the darkness

You light up the room

You know you do

You're the fire

That keeps on burning through

I'm surrounded

And I know it's no use, oh

'Cause in the darkness

You light up the room

We belong within the sea

Caught up on an energy

Don't look back

At what we had

I will give up everything

You'll be crashing into me

Let this night

Be set alight

In the darkness

You light up the room

You know you do

You're the fire that keeps on burning through

I'm surrounded

I know it's no use, oh

'Cause in the darkness

You light up the room

Whoa

You light it up

Whoa

You light up the room

Whoa

I wanna fall in and be helpless

I'm gonna dive under the waves

I've never felt anything like this

Now, I don't ever wanna be saved

And I wanna get thrown to the lions

You got my heart

Right open here

In the darkness you light up the room

You know you do

You're the fire that keeps on burning through

I'm surrounded

And I know it's no use, oh

In the darkness

You light up the room

In the darkness you light up the room

You know you do

In the darkness you light up the room

Testify lyrics - Ben Haenow

Got my girlfriend telling me truth

When the world keeps telling me lies

When I feel like there's no you

I just take one look in your eyes

And it's all depending on you, oh no

And you like it when I'm begging you for mercy, mercy

And I like it when you hold me close and show me, I'd pray

Your love can make me stronger, take the pain away

And your love can make me better, better

Baby let me testify, I wanna testify 'til it breaks me 'cause

Your love can make me stronger, make it all okay

And your love can make me better, better

Baby let me testify, I wanna testify 'til it breaks me 'cause

I've given up my pride

And I'll be sanctified

Baby, let me testify

When I falter, you are my faith

When I'm doubting, you are my real

And when I thought that things would never change

You made me change the way that I feel, oh oh

And you like it when I'm begging you for mercy, mercy

And I like it when you hold me close and show me, I'd pray

Your love can make me stronger, take the pain away

And your love can make me better, better

Baby let me testify, you know I wanna testify 'til it breaks me 'cause

Your love can make me stronger, make it all okay

And your love can make me better, better

Baby let me testify, I just wanna testify 'til it breaks me 'cause

And your love can make me stronger, make it all okay

And your love can make it better, better

Baby let me

And your love can make me stronger, make it all okay

And your love can make it,

And your love can make it better, better

Baby let me

Your love can make me stronger, take the pain away

And your love can make me better, better

Baby let me testify, I just wanna testify 'til it breaks me 'cause

Your love can make me stronger, make it all okay

And your love can make me better, better

Baby let me testify, I just wanna testify 'til it breaks me 'cause

I've given up my pride

I'll be sanctified

Baby, let me testify

Make It Back To Me lyrics - Ben Haenow

I guess this isn't our time

I guess this isn't our place

I guess you made all the running, baby

But I couldn't finish the race

You've been trying to hide it

And I've been missing the signs

While you were crossing your fingers and hoping

I've just been crossing the lines

And if you gotta go, then I get it

If you're gonna leave, then goodbye

And there'll be no chance to forget it

We are connected, you and I

As long as you make it back to me

Take all the time you need

You can love who you want

You can love till you don't even think about me

As long as you make it back to me

Right now I'm not what you need

I can learn to be more than who I was before, wait and see

Just make it back to me

Are you better without me?

Are you falling apart?

Are you reaching the end of the story?

'Cos I'm trying to rewrite the start

And if you gotta go, then I get it

If you gotta leave, then goodbye

There'll be no chance to forget it, oh

We are connected, you and I

As long as you make it back to me

Take all the time you need

You can love who you want

You can love till you don't even think about me

As long as you make it back to me

Right now I'm not what you need

I can learn to be more than who I was before

Wait and see

Just make it back to me

For all the times I let you down

And said I never would

I'll right those wrongs, turn it around

And love you like I should

For all the times I let you down

And said I never would

I'll right those wrongs, turn it around

And love you like I should

As long as you make it back to me

Take all the time you need

You can love who you want

You can love till you don't even think about me

As long as you make it back to me

Right now I'm not what you need

I can learn to be more than who I was before

Wait and see

Just make it back to me

Way Back When lyrics - Ben Haenow

Honestly, what happened to you and me

Did all our stars just fall into the sea

Tell me girl

We used to wanna change the world

What happened to us

What's happened to us

Oh can we go back home

Tonight I gotta hold you close

I wanna let go

So give me that old school sound

I wanna drop the needle down

And take it back to way back when

You're talking when the sun lays down

And all of these lights fade out

Still you and me like way back when

Mm baby we fell behind

Well baby you still find time

To send those chills right down my spine

And tell them to hold the fire

We ain't gonna go to the wild

Lets come back to life one last time

Oh can we go back home

Tonight I gotta hold you close

I wanna let go

So give me that old school sound

I wanna drop the needle down

And take it back to way back when

You're talking when the sun lays down

And all of these lights fade out

Still you and me like way back when

Yeah these are the days

Yeah we'll go back and save

And remember way back when

So give me that old school sound

I wanna drop the needle down

And take it back to way back when

You're talking when the sun lays down

And all of these lights fade out

Still you and me like way back when

So give me that woah...

You and me like way back when

Brother lyrics - Ben Haenow

Don't know where this river's running

Nothing I can do but let go

Rush you with a cold white water

Trying to stay afloat

We keep fighting with the tide to get us back to how we had it before

Trying to make you see what I can see you don't believe anymore

But something's changed in us

And I can feel you slipping away

Like the sunlight at the end of the day

I can feel you slipping away

Like the sunlight at the end of the day

Hey, hold on brother

Wait, it's not over

Whatever comes between us I know we can make it right in the end

The river keeps running but were gonna find each other again

So hold on

Until you're picking up the pieces

You never think it's going to break

I'm not gonna leave you like this

Won't sweep it all away

We can put it back together make it better than we had it before

And I know I can make you see what I can see you don't believe anymore

Cause nothing's changed in us

But I can feel you slipping away

Like the sunlight at the end of the day

I can feel you slipping away

Like the sunlight at the end of the day

Hey, hold on brother

Wait, it's not over

Whatever comes between us I know we can make it right in the end

The river keeps running but were gonna find each other again

So hold on

So hold on

So hold on brother

So hold on

Cause I can feel you slipping away

Like the sunlight at the end of the day

I can feel you slipping away

Like the sunlight at the end of the day

So the river's trying to pull me away

But I'm holding on whatever it takes

And I'll never let you slip away away away

Hey, hold on brother

Wait, it's not over

Whatever comes between us I know we can make it right in the end

And the river keeps running but were gonna find each other again

So hold on

So hold on

So hold on brother

Something I Need lyrics - Ben Haenow

(originally by OneRepublic)

I had a dream the other night

About how we only get one life

Woke me up right after two

Stayed awake and stared at you

So I wouldn't lose my mind

And I had the week that came from hell

And yes I know that you can tell

But you're like the net under the ledge

When I go flying off the edge

You go flying off as well

And if we're only here once I wanna live with

You've got something I need

In this world full of people there's one loving me

And if we only here once (hey)

I wanna live with you (you, you, you)

You've got something I need

In this world full of people there's one loving me

And if we only here once (hey)

I wanna live with you (you, you)

Last night I think I drank too much

Call it our temporary crutch

With broken words I've tried to say

Honey don't you be afraid

If we've got nothing we've got us

And if we're only here once I wanna live with

You've got something I need

In this world full of people there's one loving me

And if we only here once (hey)

I wanna live with you (you, you, you)

I know that we're not the same

But I'm so damn glad that we made it

To this time, this time, now

You've got something I need

In this world full of people there's one loving me

And if we only here once

I wanna live with you (yeah)

You've got something I need

In this world full of people there's one loving me

And if we only here once

I wanna live with you (you, you, you)

You've got something I need

In this world full of people there's one loving me

And if we only here once (hey)

I wanna live with you (you, you, you)

And if we only here once

I wanna live with you

And if we only here once

I wanna live with you

If we only die once (hey) I wanna die with

If we only live once I wanna live with you

One Night lyrics - Ben Haenow

I can see storms on the horizon

But I'm standing in the rain

Don't care if every drop's a dagger

Cause I need you back again

And oh, I thought my star was rising

But baby now I've paid the price

Cause everything I love is burning

From one roll of the dice

Why do we fall into love

When all we do is run into trouble

I don't know why I gambled on your heart

Cause it got lost in the struggle, yeah

Just give me one night

I'd risk everything

One night

I'd risk everything

One night

To win you back again

Things will be worse before they're better

When you find out what I've done

You're gonna strike me down with lightening

But it still don't mean I'll run

Baby I'm begging for forgiveness

I confess I done you wrong

Its true, I always played the joker

But my queen of hearts is gone

Why do we fall into love

When all we do is run into trouble

I don't know why I gambled on your heart

Cause it got lost in the struggle, yeah

Just give me one night

I'd risk everything

One night

I'd risk everything

One night

To win you back again

Tell me you forgive me so

Tell me you forgive me so

Tell me that you love me so

So

Why do we fall into love

When all we do is run into trouble

Why do we fall into love

When all we do is run into trouble

I don't know why I gambled on your heart no

Cause it got lost in the struggle, yeah

Just give me one night

I'd risk everything

One night

Id risk everything

One night

To win you back again

Just give me one night

I'd risk everything

One night

I'd risk everything

One night

To win you back again

Ready For You lyrics - Ben Haenow

Hey, let's ride off together

Forget about the in-between

We could write the ending scene

Hey, I already feel much better

Knowing I got time to breathe

Knowing that you're right there for me

You can hold together 'less you're falling apart

You can black out the stars

'less you can see in the dark

Find the missing pieces

Gon' get back what I lost

I don't wanna wait no more

I don't wanna wait no more

Hey

I'll fix my heart

Remove these scars

So when you show up

I'll be ready for you

Closed up or here

Get a hold for real

So when you get here

I'll be ready for you

Hey, ain't it a funny thing

Words could move on the wall

But to you they say it all

Hey, so I'm taking in

Don't count the days

Make the days count, yeah

You can hold together 'less you're falling apart

You can black out the stars

'less you can see in the dark

Find the missing pieces

Gon' get back what I lost

I don't wanna wait no more

I don't wanna wait no more

Hey

I'll fix my heart

Remove these scars

So when you show up

I'll be ready for you

Closed up or here

Get a hold for real

So when you get here

I'll be ready for you

Those days make the days count

Won't waste another, gonna live em out

When you appear there'll be no doubt

I'll be ready for you

Don't count the days, make the days count

Won't waste another, gonna live em out

When you appear there'll be no doubt

(Hey) I'll be ready for you

I'll fix my heart

Remove these scars

So when you show up

I'll be ready for you

Closed up or here

Get a hold for real

So when you get here

I'll be ready for you

Greatest Mistake lyrics - Ben Haenow

It's 4 o'clock in the morning, you just got home

Tell me baby, where'd you go

You always said that I could do what I want

But all I want to do it's just hold you, oh oh

I just wanna love you, oh oh

Yeah, like I'm supposed to, oh oh

But all my friends say I should run away as fast as I can go

Your poison touch, she's all I got on my brain

I'm so messed up, why don't you hit me again

You're poison love

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

My greatest mistake, yeah

Your poison touch, she's all I got in my brain

It's all I got in my brain

You're poison love

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

It's my greatest mistake

Oh, it don't make sense

Why I fall for someone so bad for me

But in my defense, yeah

I kind of like when you're mad at me

And all I do is hold you, oh oh

I just wanna love you, oh oh

Yeah, like I'm supposed to, oh oh

But all my friends say I should run away as fast as I can go

Your poison touch, she's all I got on my brain

I'm so messed up, why don't you hit me again

You're poison love

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

Your poison touch, she's all I got in my brain

It's all I got in my brain

You're poison love

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

It's my greatest mistake

More than a fool am I

My heart identifies with you

I'm like someone new everytime that we collide

So many ups and downs

Two figures spinning round

Like I'm losing track of how crazy I feel about you, no...

Your poison touch, she's all I got on my brain

I'm so messed up, why don't you hit me again

You're poison love

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

It's my greatest mistake

Your poison touch, she's all I got in my brain

It's all I got in my brain

You're poison love

It's my greatest mistake, yeah

It's my greatest mistake

And I know

Yes I know

Yes I know

Yes I know that

You are my greatest mistake

My greatest mistake, yeah

Every Tear You Cry lyrics - Ben Haenow

Shatter all your window's

Rattle all your faith

You try, you try, you try

Still you fall from grace

Oh, I got your number

And I always have

I give away my life

To take away the pain you have

Don't walk away

You know I'm on your side

Don't be afraid

I'll be right here to dry

Every tear you cry

Every tear you cry

When I pray to heaven

I hear the angels say,

They cry for you, they cry for you

In the hurt that this world brings

Don't walk away

You know I'm on your side

Don't be afraid

I'll be right here to dry

Every tear you cry

Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry baby

No no no no no

Don't you cry baby

No no no no no no no no no

Don't walk away

You know I'm on your side

Don't be afraid

I'll be right here to dry

Every tear you cry

Every tear that you cry
