"The Spectrum" (2017)




Selfish lyrics - Daley

Think it's time to admit a few things
I've been feeling some way
About the cynical man I've become
Love can be such a difficult thing
And the pain that it brings
Can be confusing and leave you undone

And I'm here, but I'm gone
Just a space where I was
So I think that I'm done
But you should know that you did nothing wrong

You maybe wondering why I seem cold
I'm just being selfish, yeah, I'm on hold
I need to be cruel to be kind
And tell you what's on my mind
I need to be selfish
I, I need to be selfish
I need to be selfish

So, tell me please that this all makes sense?
Say that somehow this puts your mind at rest
'Cause this isn't me, who I wanna be
I'd never act so indifferently
But I can't even say that I'm sorry

That I'm here, but I'm gone
Just a space where I was
So I think that I'm done
But you should know that you did nothing wrong

You maybe wondering why I seem cold
I'm just being selfish, yeah, I'm on hold
I need to be cruel to be kind
And tell you what's on my mind
I need to be selfish

And it might be more than a minute that I need to take
It would be wrong for me to ask you to sit and wait
That would be selfish
No it's not like I'm calling this off for anybody else
No other reason, I just need a moment to myself
I need to be cruel to be kind
I need to be cruel to be kind

You maybe wondering why I seem cold
I'm just being selfish, yeah, I'm on hold
I need to be cruel to be kind
And tell you what's on my mind
I need to be selfish
I, I need to be selfish

Temple lyrics - Daley

Somewhere inside us
There's the desire to believe
Looking for guidance
Seeking some kind of relief

Tell me you're tired
Searching for comfort in vein
Lose all your idols
Find a religion in me

'Cause I know a place
(No church, still worship the same)
To find our faith
(Your love's all that's sacred to me, so...)

Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple

Behind the stone walls
We paint the wonders we need
As the gods of our own world
No love we make is a sin

Still, you better pray, you better pray
You better pray, you better pray, beside me
(Undress all your secrets with me)
'Cause a brighter day, after we lay, is promised
(Only if you worship with me)

Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple

(So meet me) at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple

(So meet me) at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple
Meet me at the Temple

Slow Burn lyrics - Daley

Maybe you've had your reservations
Or maybe it's all in my mind
Ohh I, I understand the hesitation
But give it some time

You can keep on playing your games with me
And I'll play them back to you
But if we keep beginning endlessly
That's all we'll ever do

We're turning an ember into flame
And I believe it's worth the wait
We're looking at a slow burn (slow burn)
It'll be hard I won't pretend
But I will be in it 'til the end
It's gonna be a slow burn (slow burn)

This is an epic in the making
A story that's never been told
So turn the page, don't be afraid
To let the inevitable unfold

If you're always chasing memories
Then we may not make it through
And if we keep beginning endlessly
That's all we'll ever do

We're turning an ember into flame
And I believe it's worth the wait
We're looking at a slow burn (slow burn)
It'll be hard I won't pretend
But I will be in it 'til the end
It's gonna be a slow burn (slow burn)

We don't have to rush to the end of this road
Take it slow
We can make it last in this fire we make
If we let it burn (if we let it burn)
If we let it burn (if we let it burn)

We're turning an ember into flame
And I believe it's worth the wait
We're looking at a slow burn (slow burn)
It'll be hard I won't pretend
But I will be in it 'til the end
It's gonna be a slow burn (slow burn)

We're turning an ember into flame
And I believe it's worth the wait
We're looking at a slow burn (slow burn)
It'll be hard I won't pretend
But I will be in it 'til the end
It's gonna be a slow burn (slow burn)

Sympathy lyrics - Daley (feat. Swindle)

I made it back to life
After a while recovering
When someone burns your pride
You know an ego's hard to mend

Was only tryna be nice
Took me all night to work the nerve
No need to patronise
I won't take less than I deserve
If I can't have it all don't give me

Sympathy, sympathy
I never asked for pity from you
Sympathy, sympathy
Cut me loose, don't be so cruel, oh

I know you mean no harm
And let me down so easy
Still to reject my charms
It's hard with no good reasoning

But don't worry it's cool
Just need to make you understand
That there's no substitute (no substitute)
Can't crush my heart then hold my hand
You can turn me down, just don't give me

Sympathy, sympathy
I never asked for pity from you
Sympathy, sympathy
Cut me loose, don't be so cruel, oh

Oh, you treat me so cold
You might as well go
I'd be better alone
Yeah, can't play with my pride
Then throw me aside
I'm here asking why

Oh, you treat me so cold
You might as well go
I'd be better alone
Yeah, can't play with my pride
Then throw me aside
I'm here asking why

Oh, you treat me so cold
You might as well go
I'd be better alone
Yeah

The Only One lyrics - Daley

Had your heart broken
You lost it all
Now you're afraid to climb down from the shelf
'Cause you're scared you'll fall again
How long can you live that way?
You're holding back, it's driving me away

It's fair to say some give and take is what we need
We both have stress in our lives and I'm dealing with mine
Well I'm trying, so don't take it out on me

'Cause you're not the only one, the only one
The only one with shh... on your mind
The street runs both ways, we've all had those days
And if you don't see my side, then I don't feel to try
'Cause you're not the only one, the only one
The only one who struggles sometimes
You're so full of yourself, but you won't get no help
'Til you realise, you're not the only one

You make it hard, so hard, difficult to the end
Why should I break my back?
When you refuse to bend your rules
I wanna make one from two again
But it's just so hard to do it, yeah
When you're not playing fair

So it's fair to say some give and take is what we need
We're all messed up in our ways, but I'm trying to change
Can you say the same?
Well don't take it out on me

'Cause you're not the only one, the only one
The only one with shh... on your mind
The street runs both ways, we've all had those days
And if you don't see my side, then I don't feel to try
'Cause you're not the only one, the only (one)
The only one who struggles sometimes
You're so full of yourself, but you won't get no help
'Til you realise, that you're not the only one

Oh no, so don't take it out on me
On me

The only one with shit on your mind
You're so full of yourself, but you won't get no help
'Til you realise, you're not the only one

On Fire lyrics - Daley

Taking about a thing you can't define
I'm so enamoured, with your mind, yeah
I really find it hard to keep away
Now it's too late to play it safe

You can't keep a moth away from a flame
'Cause I feel the heat the truth when I'm with you
Ends up being something more than just a game
I'm aware nobody does it like you do, is it only me

You set me on fire, you set me on
You set me on fire, you turn me on
You set me on fire, you set me on
You set me on fire, fire

So let me burn
It makes no difference, I never learn
Now all the other flames I used to know
I couldn't keep them, they had to go
I had to tell them all to stop, drop and roll

'Cause I feel the heat, the truth when I'm with you
Ends up being something more than just a game
I'm aware nobody does it like you do
Is it only me, yeah?

You set me on fire, you set me on
You set me on fire, you turn me on
You set me on fire, you set me on
You set me on fire, fire

So many summers passed tonight for you and I
Held in a daze our love emblazoned into time
Now it's begun, expand the sun, envelope me
You take me through, I burn for you
(You, you, you)
Oh I, I burn for you
(You, you, you)

Oh, you set me on fire, you set me on
You set me on fire, you turn me on
You set me on fire, you set me on
You set me on fire, fire

Set me on fire, set me on
Set me on fire, set me on
Set me on fire, set me on
Set me on fire, fire

Set me on fire, set me on
(Summers passed tonight for you and I)
Set me on fire, set me on
(In a daze our love emblazoned into time)
Set me on fire, set me on
(It's begun, expand the sun, envelope me)
Set me on fire, fire
(Take me through)

Second To None lyrics - Daley

Everybody's out of line, telling me what I need
Well I'm not blind, I see fine
Yeah, I'm where I'm supposed to be
A million things I have to do
But this distraction's really all I need
'Cause can't nothing compare to my number one priority
And if this ain't what we're here for then tell me what is

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm foolish
A lifetime is a long time
So I might be crazy, but I don't put nothing before you
Without you to hold, this life don't mean nothing, no
And nothing comes close to being with you
'Cause you come second to none
Baby, second to none

I'm sleeping too late, never on time
You give me bad habits but it's alright
I give you all my days, ooh, and nights
To make it all good I'd give you my life
'Cause I'm caught up in a feeling that I can't escape
Losing my focus getting carried away in thoughts of you
Now everybody else I gotta put on hold
You're the only one you know you run the show
Yeah you're the one that I choose and
If this ain't what we're here for then I don't wanna know

Maybe I'm wrong and maybe, maybe I'm foolish
But a lifetime's a long, oh it's a long time
So I might be crazy, but I don't put nothing before you
Without you to hold, this life don't mean nothing, no
And nothing comes close to being with you
'Cause you come second to none

And I could have all the money in the world but
I might as well be dead broke
If I can't spend my time on you
'Cause there ain't nothing else I want
No, there ain't nothing worth all my intentions to you
I got a one-track mind you're the first in line, it's true

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm foolish
A lifetime is a long time
So I might be crazy, but I don't put nothing before you
Without you to hold, this life don't mean nothing, no
And nothing comes close to being with you
'Cause you come second to none
'Cause you come second to none
'Cause you come second to none
'Cause you come second to none
'Cause you come second to none

True lyrics - Daley

I may not have what you need
But I could get it for you
It may not be all you expected
But what you get it will be true
And I won't try to impress you
'Cause you'll see everything in the end
No I won't try to undress you
'Til there's no doubt that I'm a friend

We're only here for one minute
Just a drop in oceans blue
So in my time while I'm here
I wanna spend it being true
I wanna spend it being true

So, lift your eyes up from the wheel
Take some time to catch that view
Before it passes you by now
'Cause moments lost you can't undo
Show me only your soul
Shed your layers not your tears
It's in our hearts to evolve
But we don't have a billion years

'Cause we're only here for one minute
We're a drop in oceans blue
So in my time while I'm here

I wanna spend it being true
I wanna spend it being true
Spend it being true
To this moment, be devoted

'Cause we're only here for one minute
So in my time while I'm here
I wanna spend it (I wanna spend it)
I wanna spend it (I wanna spend it)
I wanna spend it, spend it being

Distance lyrics - Daley

You can't climb a mountain range
And not look over the edge
You can't run half of the way
And not finish off the race

There is something incomplete
When our love is out of reach
We should elevate this feeling
Traverse all the in between

I want you in this life
I wanna know what it feels like
We've come too far to give up
I wanna go the distance

One day we'll look back on all of this
Realise we had all we ever needed
And we'll wonder why we were worried about the things
That never really mattered to be begin with

What if we could grow old together, mold together?
Stay bold together, through whatever?
That would be so sweet

I want you in this life
I wanna know what it feels like
We've come too far to give up
I wanna go the distance

And since there's no guarantee the future's on our side
We should embrace the love we feel
'Cause we run parallel through life
This could transcend space and time
If you take the leap with me

I want you in this life
I wanna know what it feels like
We've come too far to give up
I wanna go the distance

In this life, this life, this life
I wanna know what it feels like
Give up
I wanna go the distance

The Fabric (For Richard) lyrics - Daley

What is this feeling? It's strange to me
Hard to believe it, that you're no longer here
To guide and teach me
I thought there'd always be more time

For understanding to overcome
Our circumstances and make time for all the things
We took for granted
Before we lost you to the skies

But in the long run, you'll be alright
This is one front, in space and time
Wherever you go, feel peace my friend
'Cause you're loved everlasting
And you'll live on in the fabric

Within the threads of our lives
Woven your magic, through your absence you will guide
Still no less tragic we have to say goodbye
And still we grieve, and still we cry

But in the long run, we'll be alright
This is just one test, we have to try
And when it's all done, we'll meet again
And we'll be one in the fabric
Yeah, we'll live on in the fabric

How do I begin to say thank you for all that you've done for me, for me?
Now we love harder because of you
You're part of everything we do, in the fabric
Forever part of the fabric
Forever part of the fabric
Forever part of the fabric
You are, you are forever part of the fabric
You are, you are forever part of the fabric
You are, you are forever part of the fabric

Careless lyrics - Daley (feat. Chiiild)

So much time, spent telling me lies
I was blind enough to believe
All the signs, led me into denial
Far from the reality

There's no disguise, that could cover this up
You're reckless in the way you love
So it's time, now the damage is done
It's clear you never cared enough, so

So, don't tell me things you don't mean in the night
Wake up the next day and tell me you lied
I'd never let myself do you that way
Play with your feelings then throw them away

I guess I could if I was careless
If I was careless
I guess I could if I was careless
If I was careless (less)

So much time, spent telling me lies
I was blind enough to believe
All the signs, led me into denial
Far from the reality

There's no disguise, that could cover this up
You're reckless in the way you love
So it's time, now the damage is done
It's clear you never cared enough, so

So, don't tell me things you don't mean in the night
Wake up the next day and tell me you lied
I'd never let myself do you that way
Play with your feelings then throw them away

I guess I could if I was careless
If I was careless
I guess I could if I was careless
If I was careless (less)

Play with your feelings then throw them away

I guess I could if I was careless
If I was careless
I guess I could if I was careless
If I was careless (less)

"Days And Nights" (2014)




Time Travel lyrics - Daley

They say live within the moment
Cause there's nothing else but now
But I'm sleepless and it's over
So somebody show me how

I can get back to a feeling
That existed in the past
Find somebody with some meaning
Try to equal what we had

I wanna go
All the way, all the way
All the way back...
All the way, all the way
All the way

All I really need
Is time travel and you
Don't know what this is
We're travelling through
All the memories
Unravel with you
So all I really need
Is time travel
And you...
And you...

It's the silence that will save us
Now all too much has been said
We no longer know the people
That we cling to on the bed

Is it beyond reparation?
Does this have to be the end?
In an alternate dimension
Maybe we could start again

I wanna go
All the way, all the way
All the way back...
All the way, all the way
All the way

All I really need
Is time travel and you
Don't know what this is
We're travelling through
All the memories
Unravel with you
All I really need
Is time travel
All I really need
Is time travel
All I really need
Is time travel

Look Up lyrics - Daley

I know, I know, I know
That you're not happy here
You don't need to say it
It shows, it shows, it shows
It's all over your face
You can't erase it no

I wish that we could face
The things that hold us back
Before we fade to black
Instead we choose to chase
The things we know won't last
There's so much we lack

But something keeps me hanging on
Yeah some feelings they never go, so

Look up...
And if the stars should fall from the sky
I will put them all back in time
So you know that when they shine
They shine for you
Oh oh, yes they do, they do

Those words that we don't say
They make the biggest sounds
They call us out, yeah
Cause there are quiet truths and pains
And we both feel them now
But still we love somehow

I wish that we could face
The things that hold us back
Before we fade to black
Instead we choose to chase
The things we know won't last
They never last

But something keeps me hanging on
Yeah some feelings just never go, so

Look up...
And if the stars should fall from the sky
I will put them all back in time
So you know that when they shine
They shine for you
Oh oh, yes they do, they do

Believe me
I love you in my way
Ooh, what more can I say
It's constant as the stars
Although we're lost in space
So if separate ways we go
I hope somehow you'll know
Whatever circumstance
You will be in my soul
(You will be in my soul, in my soul)
In my soul

And if the stars should fall from the sky
I will put them all back in time
So you know that when they shine
They shine for you
Oh oh, yes they do

Good News lyrics - Daley

I want to take a leap of faith, escape it all, but it
Seems like there's no relief whichever way I fall, no

And it's more than I can take
Can somebody show me
How I'm supposed to feel, yeah
Cause I'm looking for the light
But there's no silver line
In the headlines that I'm reading

So somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Tell me it's alright
Somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Say it again

There's something missing in this world of you and I
And we won't find it until we open our eyes, open our eyes, our eyes

And we all want the same
Love without the pain
Truth without the blame, blame, blame
But we're stuck inside the storm
Dying to be reborn
Waiting for a change, oh

So somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Tell me it's alright
Somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Say it again

I need a minute to think, need peace of mind
Will it ever be simple? Oh, no... oh, no...

So somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Tell me it's alright
Stop, ohh, ohh
Somebody stop, somebody, somebody
Give me the good news, ooh

So somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Tell me it's alright
Somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Say it again

I need a minute to think, need peace of mind
Will it ever be simple? Oh, no... oh, no...

So somebody stop, stop
Give me the good news
Tell me it's alright, alright

Love And Affection lyrics - Daley

I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or west, where's the best
For romancing
With a friend, I can smile
But with a love I can hold my head back
And really laugh, really laugh

Thank you
You took me dancing
Cross the floor, cheek to cheek
But with a love I can really move, really move
I can really dance, really dance

Now if I can feel the sun in my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I, feel

Love and affection
Sing me a love song
But this time with a little dedication
Sing it (sing it), sing it (sing it), yeah

With friends I still feel so insecure
Little darling, I believe you could help me a lot, yeah
Just take my hand and lead me where you will
No conversation, no wave goodnight

Make love, with affection
Sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication
Sing it, sing it, yeah

Make love, with affection
Sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication
Sing it (sing it), sing it, yeah
You know that's what I want
So sing it, sing it, sing it, oh
Give me love, give me love,
Love, love, oh yeah
Give me love, love, love, love

Make love, make love
Make love, with affection
Sing me a love song
But this time with a little dedication

Be lyrics - Daley

It's been so long
Meet me at the station
We can take a taxi home, maybe
It's time for conversation
Catch up on some things,
I don't know, but
You said we've done it all
Flame went out, the spark is gone
But what if you're wrong?
It's been so long since you've seen me
How can you know how you really feel?

If we run out of things to say
I promise I won't make you feel bad
We'll just roll the windows down
We'll drive around this town and be, be, yeah

Will you sleep tonight
Or will you lie awake like me, like me.
Pillow to pillow, back to back
Pulling the sheets and all that
Waiting for eyes to meet, meet, yea

Wake me when you wake up
Miss me when we break up
Kiss me when we make up, yeah
I know it's not the same but,
Don't wanna say we gave up
Please don't give the game up, no

Cause if you don't know what to say
I promise I won't make you feel bad, no, no
Cause you're not the only one who's scared to say you're still in love
If we run out of things to say
I promise I won't make you feel bad, nooo, nooo,
We'll just roll the windows down
We'll drive around this town and be, be, yeah

So when the right words won't come out
As the city lights pass us by
Let the silence be the only sound
And I'll hear everything I need to hear,

We've been through at all
And if you don't know what to say
I promise I won't make you feel bad, nooo, nooo
We'll just roll the windows down
Drive around this town and be, be, yeah

Pass It On lyrics - Daley

Picture perfect
Hang the picture on the wall
Beneath the surface
Your beauty surpasses them all

I've got to know, where you are
So that my soul is never lost
I see you shine, from afar
Yeah to me you are a star
Alright baby

So lay here with me
Open up, just breathe
Let your mind be free, yeah
Think how it could be, yeah
If you shared your love with me
It feels good

Feels good, feels right
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on
So good like sunshine
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on
Take the feeling, pass it on

I appreciate you
I can't deny incredible
Let me illuminate you
Take tonight and light it up

I've got to know, where you are
So that my soul is never lost
I see you shine, shine, shine from afar
Yeah to me you're a star, yeah yea

So lay here with me
Open up and just breathe
Let your mind be free, yeah
Think how it could be, yeah
If you shared your love with me
And it feels so good

Feels good, feels right
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on (Just pass it on)
So good like sunshine
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on
Pass it on

And I see your soul when you smile
Your eyes they tell me what's on your mind
If the feeling is real
Pass it to me cause it feels

Feels good, feels right
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on
So good like sunshine
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on

Feels good, feels right
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on
So good like sunshine
Take the feeling, pass it on
Just pass it on
Take the feeling, pass it on

Broken lyrics - Daley

Not a quitter,
But I need to give up this fight
For my sanity, my pride
Do I leave? Do I stay and try?

Cause any minute,
You will say the words goodbye
Give me love, then change your mind
And break all that I am inside

That's why I'm never gonna love this way again
I'm never gonna give my heart again
Cause every time I try
I end up broken
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)

These are stars
These are the days
And they shine for you and me
So tell me why do we stand in the rain?

Cause any minute,
We will both be killing time
Tryna save you and I
And that's no way to live

That's why I'm never gonna love this way again
I'm never gonna give my heart again
Cause every time I try
I end up broken
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)

Someday you'll miss my love
Yes my love
You'll remember what you had
And I'll forget the past
And move on to someone else
A love I can feel

That's why I'm never gonna love this way again
I'm never gonna give my heart again
Cause every time I try
I end up broken
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken (Oh oh ooh ooh)
I end up broken

She Fades lyrics - Daley

She treads the line every day
Bags under her arms
She balances weight
Using her charm
She keeps the bad luck away

Out in the rain with something to sell
Bags under her eyes
But she carries them well
She tell you the truth
While she lies to herself

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades

Faded skin, under fading tattoo
Leads onto scar
Which leads onto bruise
A bed meant for one
Becomes a bed made for two

She's lost, don't know where I'll find her
She's lost, this is a reminder
She's lost, don't know where I'll find her at all,

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
What more can I do?

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
What more can I do now?

I tried to show her the way
I tried to show her the way
Before it's too late
I tried to show her the way

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
What more can I do now?

I try to brighten her day
But she fades
I try to show her the way
But she fades
So I, watch and I wait
As she fades
She fades, she's fading away

Love Somebody lyrics - Daley

I'm feeling restless in the morning
Composure screwed up on the floor
I'm such a mess when you ignore me
You only leave me needing more

Return home, alone
Put on, a sad song
There's a want in me, that won't say no

Well, we all wanna be loved
We all wanna be loved
Loved,
We wanna be loved

But when your pride has all been spent
It's the beginning of the end
And it's sad but it is true
You put your own head in a noose
When you love somebody
When you love somebody

I'm drunk and taking things I don't need
Come tomorrow I won't be fine
I take the risk to feel your heartbeating
Through skin and bone up close to mine

And it's all in , the name of love
Cause I always felt, I never had enough
There's a want in me, that won't switch off

Well I guess, we all wanna be loved
We all wanna be loved...

But when your pride has all been spent
It's the beginning of the end
And it's sad but it is true
You put your own head in a noose
When you love somebody
When you love somebody

These fantasies are losing their grip
Between lips and close pressed finger tips
The song we sing is so nostalgic
Take me back to a time when I knew a little less,

But when your pride has all been spent
It's the beginning of the end
And it's sad but it is true
You put your own head in a noose

when your pride has all been spent
It's the beginning of the end
And it's sad but it is true
You put your own head in a noose
When you love somebody
When you love somebody

Days And Nights lyrics - Daley

Broken pieces
Left without feeling, again
And it won't be the last time
Much broken theory
As love's legs run weary
Over empty space
And the troubles that remain

In your hair
On your skin
Behind your eyes when you sleep
As you wonder if you'll ever love again
Through these

Days and nights, spent alone, thinking of no one
The factory, of you and me, diminished long ago
Tick tock, head lock
Time is all I've got to show now

Days and nights, spent alone, thinking of no one
Save the tears, maybe we're, better off alone
But if you like, you can try to revive my smile,

This could be what I need
But it could amount to nothing
And I've come too far for things to come undone
For what it's worth, I'm sorry
I wish someone could love me
But it's the consequences that I'm running from
Through these...

Days and nights, spent alone, thinking of no one
The factory, of you and me, diminished long ago
Tick tock, head lock
Time is all I've got to show now

Days and nights, spent alone, thinking of no one
Save the tears, maybe we're, better off alone
But if you like, you can try to revive my smile,

Love proof
Empty now
Learning how to live without
Brick by brick
Pulled apart
The disassembly of a heart
Lights on, lights off
As the days and nights blur into one
Through these...

Days and nights, spent alone, thinking of no one
The factory, of you and me, diminished long ago
Tick tock, head lock
Time is all I've got to show now

Days and nights, spent alone, thinking of no one
Save the tears, maybe we're, better off alone
But if you like, you can try to revive my smile,

Blame The World lyrics - Daley

If somebody told me
The truth would have hurt me
I wouldn't place the blame
Cause nobody’s perfect
But you played a cold game
And it left you lonely
Now you only have yourself to blame
For the fact that you blown it
Yeah Yeah

So guess the game is up now
And I was a fool to love ya
The consequences look now
All this hate for one another
So this is the last time I tried to make it work
You should think of it as a lesson learned

Hey
Betrayed your one and only
The tears fell now you’re lonely
Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world

Build the walls, tear em down
It’s your fault when you hit the ground
Now you wanna blame the world
Ohh
Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world

You never listen
And now you’re all ears
Cause you know what you’re missing
And nothing else compares

When the wheels were in motion
I gave you control
But to let this heart open
And this ship went cold

So guess the game is up now
And I was a fool to love ya
The consequences look now
All this hate for one another
So this is the last time I tried to make it work
Yeah this is the last time I put you first

Yes
Betrayed your one and only
The tears fell now you’re lonely
Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world

Build the walls, tear em down
It’s your fault when you hit the ground
Now you wanna blame the world
Ohh
Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world

Blame it on the struggle
Blame it on the stride (stride)
Blame it on the time we wasted waiting for a better life
Blame it on the love lost (lost)
But don’t blame it on me, no no
Blame it on the people
That we just could not be

Ohh

Betrayed your one and only
The tears fell now you’re lonely (now you're lonely)
Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world (blame the world)

Build the walls, tear em down
It’s your fault when you hit the ground (hit the ground)
Now you wanna blame the world
Ohh
Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world

Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world
Now you wanna blame the world

Remember Me lyrics - Daley (feat. Jessie J)

Remember me!!

So you confess,
To all the way you’ve been seeing
Now you feel regret, yeah
But that don’t mean shit to me
No, no
So empty what you can say
Take a minute please
It’s too little too late
To make it up to me
I hope that those tears refresh your memory
Now when another makes you cry

[Chorus]
That’s when you, remember me
I’m the one that had you baby
I’m the one who loved you baby
Remember me
I’m the one that had you baby
I’m the one who loved you baby

I guess it wasn’t enough
To give you everything, no no
And I guess I should have know better
How could I be so naïve
I don’t know,
So empty what you can say
Take a minute please
It’s too little too late
To make it up to me
I hope that those tears refresh your memory
Now when you’re all alone at night

[Chorus]
That’s when you, remember me
I’m the one that had you baby
I’m the one who loved you baby
Remember me
I’m the one that had you baby
I’m the one who loved you baby

Now when you all alone at night

[Chorus]
That’s when you, remember me
I’m the one that had you baby
I’m the one who loved you baby
Remember me
I’m the one that had you baby
I’m the one who loved you.

Love Is A Losing Game lyrics - Daley

(originally by Amy Winehouse)

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling man
Love, love is a losing hand

Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love, love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

EP: "Those Who Wait" (2012)




Those Who Wait lyrics- Daley

When I was a boy
I was always caught in the middle
I was never a winner
Just a loner in the crowd
Looking for a way out

Then I grew a little older
And a little bolder
I grew impatient
The future I was chasing
Never seemed to be within my reach
Til I heard somebody say

(Slow, slow down…)
Nothing’s gonna happen before it’s time
(Slow, slow down…)
Let the pieces fall into place and you’ll be fine

[Chorus:]
Take your time
So I’m waiting,
Cause I know I’m gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait

So made it out, eventually
I took the leap
And I landed on my feet
Yeah I found my team, my family
And as I chase this dream
I know that they believe in me
And we’re onto something good (I know)
We’re bout to conquer this world
I’m so glad that I
Took my own time
I’m glad I did it the right way

(Slow, slow down…)
Now I listen to my instincts when I lose my way
(Slow, slow down…)
And that’s when they say

[Chorus:]
Take your time
So I’m waiting,
Cause I know I’m gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait

Now I know if I died tomorrow
I wouldn’t regret a single thing
I wanna look back on where I’ve been
And know that I made, my own way
That I lived each day, and owned it
Working for that good thing, that good thing

[Chorus:]
Take your time
So I’m waiting,
Cause I know I’m gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait

Good things, those who wait
I appreciate those who wait
Thank you to those who wait
Good things come

Let It Go lyrics - Daley

Sober in a strangers bed blue sheets cold memories
Waiting for the ice to break
Looking at the clock again time’s face tells nothing
So tell me why I hesitate

Hesitate to say your name, say good morning bring you into my day
Oh will it be the same?
Take your hand or let it go ‘cause now I’m so in love with love I don't know
But I know

[Chorus:]
I’ve been here before
This back and forth
It’s getting old, it’s getting old
Don’t waste your time, just make up your mind or
Let it go
‘cause I don't wanna be

Sober in a strangers bed blue sheets cold memories
Sober in a strangers bed blue sheets cold memories

Three steps from the door, I’m so close and I'm so far
From ending right back where I started
And your voice is in my memories I can’t forget
Won't let me leave with no regret
So do I take your hand or let it go
‘cause now you’re so in love with love you don't know
don’t know no no no

[Chorus:]
I’ve been here before
This back and forth
It’s getting old, it’s getting old
Don’t waste your time, just make up your mind or
Let it go

Living in a shadow of what we used to be
I’ve had enough of chasing remnants of this love
It's like chasing shadows in the dark
Yeah

[Repeat Chorus twice:]
I’ve been here before
This back and forth
It’s getting old, it’s getting old
Don’t waste your time, just make up your mind or
Let it go

Game Over lyrics - Daley

[VERSE 1:]
Baby Girl
You're the most consistent thing in my world
No one else can represent like you do
So my life is what you make it

Don’t speak
There's nothing else you need to say, you got me
Yeah and you've have me under lock and key
Since the first kiss
Remember that?

[BUILD]
So leave all the "He said, She said" behind
I'm playing for you; I'm on your side.
Didn’t you know?

[CHORUS]
Well, if you don't already know
It's Game Over (Game Over)
Yeah, If you don't already know
It's Game Over (Game Over)

[VERSE 2]
Yeah we play head games
Don’t always say the things we mean to say
But the feelings that we keep between the sheets as we sleep
Make the words irrelevant anyway

So I don’t care what they say
Don’t listen to people's doubts
Listen to me, just me
It's you I choose
And I'm doing everything I can to make you believe me

[BUILD]
So leave all the "He said, She said" behind
I'm still playing for you,
I'm on your side.
Didn’t you know?

[CHORUS]
Well, if you don't already know
It's Game over (Game Over)
Yeah, If you don't already know
It's Game over (Game Over)

[BRIDGE]
Now, don’t worry about what people say
They're gonna always try to put the sun out with the rain
Just think about the history
Think about it all (all)
Then tell me where you belong

[CHORUS]
Well, if you don't already know
It's Game over (Game Over)
Yeah, If you don't already know
It's Game over (Game Over)

Alone Together lyrics - Daley (with Marsha Ambrosius)

Baby
Ahh yeah
I don’t wanna be alone

[Daley:]
A definite silence
You’re almost exactly what I need
A definite maybe
Is sure to entice my curiosity
I can't help but think that this doesn't add up
I'm trying to separate the facts from all the fiction
We’re living in a world of contradictions
And if baby you’re the truth then I’m lying next to you

[Chorus:]
And you’re the desert sand, I’ll be your water
And you’re the perfect plan I never thought of
I don’t wanna do this on my own
And you shouldn’t have to be alone
I would rather be alone together
Be alone together.

[Marsha:]
Well my heart’s been racing, chasing after you
You’re the sweetest dream my incredible you
You’re the star so bright, you're eyes the lightest blue
I can’t help but stare at you
So soft your lips, the wind blow in my hair, yeah
Come closer let me whisper in your ear
‘cause what will be will be every chance you give to me
You will see yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
You’re the desert sand, I’ll be your water
And you’re the perfect plan I never thought of
I don’t wanna do this on my own
And you shouldn’t have to be alone
I would rather be alone together
Be alone together.

I always keep you safe in my arms
I will guarantee that I will never break your heart
I’ll always put you first cause you deserve the world
I wanna know you
I wanna hold you baby
I wanna show you

You’re the desert sand, I’ll be your water
And you’re the perfect plan I never thought of
I don’t wanna do this on my own
And you shouldn’t have to be alone
I would rather be alone together
Be alone together.

You shouldn't have to be alone
I would rather be alone together
Be alone together baby.

Love Lost (Interlude) lyrics - Daley

You Know,
You are the only pill that I can take
And you have so many side effects

If there was something we could take
To numb the pain of past mistakes
There would be no heavy heart to [?]

With this doubt hanging over, over my head
Yeah, I feel it when I'm sober, sober again
If there's no love lost
No pain
If there's no love lost
There's no gain

Smoking Gun lyrics - Daley

Well I put the feeling off for so long
I couldn’t bare to see you moving on
Cause nobody else can have you

You told me what I gave was not enough
And the dumbing down of love has made you numb
You say that you don’t feel anything at all

Well now you’re gonna feel it in your heart
Like a bullet in your chest
I thought it’d be best
To lay us to rest

And now a smoking gun
Is all that stands between us
I tried to make, you understand
Now there’s blood, on my hands
Now I’m on the run,
And my demons won’t release me
I couldn’t be, a fool for love
I had to go, and end it all
With a smoking gun

Now a kiss it never made you think straight
And a bullet carries so much more weight
And if we’re gonna be over, you’re gonna be over
I’ll plead insanity, a jealous man’s reprise
Before they come and take me, make pay for all my sins

Yeah you’re gonna feel me in your heart
Like a bullet in your chest
So I thought it’d be best
To lay us to rest

And now a smoking gun
Is all that stands between us
I tried to make, you understand
Now there’s blood, on my hands
Now I’m on the run,
And my demons won’t release me
I couldn’t be, a fool for love
I had to go, and end it all
With a smoking gun

You’re gonna feel me in your heart
Like a bullet in your chest
So I thought it’d be best
To lay us to rest

And now a smoking gun
Is all that stands between us
I tried to make, you understand
Now there’s blood, on my hands
Now I’m on the run,
And my demons won’t release me
I couldn’t be, a fool for love
I had to go, and end it all
With a smoking gun

If it’s gonna be over, then you’re gonna be over
If it’s gonna be over, then you’re gonna be over
If it’s gonna be over, then you’re gonna be over

Spent lyrics - Daley

Empty out the cash
Count what you have left
Take from me all that you can get
And leave me here in debt

I never gave to be repaid
When I thought my love was safe

But see me now, I’ve nothing left to give you
You broke the bank, and broke a heart in two
The time to say you’re sorry came and went
You say you’ll pay me back, plus the rent
But I think you’re spent

So you can keep the change
Although my pockets are empty (You should know)
It’s not the money that I miss, no
Cause that’s not what I paid with

(But, I guess we’re bound by…)
Unspoken rules
You’ll never read
In love there is (You never get something for nothing)
No selfless deed (Cause nobody does nothing for free)
We spend emotion
It’s a currency that we burn
To get love in return

But see me now, I’ve nothing left to give you
You broke the bank, and broke a heart in two
The time to say you’re sorry came and went
You say you’ll pay me back, plus the rent
But I think you’re spent

I think we’re spent
The sharing straws, and films we saw
I gave it all, but no more
Investment made but no remains
And not single penny saved
Not a single penny

Pretty Wings lyrics - Daley

Time will bring a real end of our trial
One day there will be no remnants, no trace
One day you won't remember me, oh

Your face will be the reason I smile
But I will not see what I cannot have
I hope you feel the same

Whoa, you played me dirty
Your game was so bad
You toyed with my affection
Had to fill out my prescription
Found the remedy
I had to set you free

Away from me
To see clearly
The way that love can be
When you are not with me
I had to leave, I had to leave, I had to leave

If I can't have you
Let love set you
Free to fly your
Pretty wings
Pretty wings
Your pretty wings
Your
Pretty wings
Pretty wings around

Well, I came wrong
You were right
Transformed your love
Into a lie
Baby, believe me
I'm sorry I told you lies

Well, I turned day
Into night
Slept til I died a thousand times
I should've showed you
Better nights, better times, better days
And I miss you, oh

If I can't have you
Let love set you
Free to fly your
Pretty wings
Pretty wings
Your pretty wings
Your
Pretty wings
Pretty wings

Until The Pain Is Gone lyrics - Daley Lyrics (feat. Jill Scott)

Until The Pain Is Gone[Daley:]
Try to see this through my eyes
Cause you're not the only one confused
In this world where love is prone to lose
Still I'm ready to give this thing a try
But how do I give to someone
Who wants what they can't have

So if you need love, say it
I know that you feel it but I can't
Keep holding on and on and on
I need to be the only one
Yeah, cause I know that you get lonely
So show me the things you're scared to show me
And we can go on and on and on
'Til the pain is gone

[Jill Scott:]
I don't even know if I believe in love
Though in it with you I'd like to be
I've just been so cynical baby
So can you convince me change my mind?
We can leave all those demon days behind
Cause, didn't I mention
I have nothing but good intentions for you

[Daley & Jill Scott:]
So if you need love, say it
I know that you feel it but, I can't
Keep holding on and on and on
I need to know that I'm the one
Yeah cause I know that you get lonely
So show me the things you're scared to show me
We can go on and on and on
'Til the pain is gone
('Til the pain is gone)

The pain that you knew before
It don't matter any more

So if you need
So if you need love, say it
I know that you feel it but, I can't
Keep holding on and on and on
I need to know that I'm the one
Yeah cause I know that you get lonely
So show me the things you're scared to show me
We can go on and on and on
Until the pain is gone, pain is gone
