[V1]

The car pulled up

On that night

You said, "I love you"

I said, "Have a good time

Don’t be late"

I watched you

Shut the gate

[C]

I’m sat on my chair

Silent, with a vacant stare

Waiting for you

Like I always do
TV’s on

Clocks ticking on

Something tells me

Something’s wrong

The night feels quiet

For too long

[V2]

I check my phone

Then check again

Every minute feels like ten
I hear a car

I hold my breath

Headlights pass

Then nothing’s there
Inside my chest

The silence spreads

Fear and dread

Are settling in

Where could you be?

[C]
I’m sat here
 In my chair

Frozen in vacant stare
Waiting for you

Like I always do
TV’s on

But i’m not there
Every sound

Pulls me in
Something’s wrong

Beneath my skin
The night’s gone still

For far too long

[B]
All that’s left

Are memories

Photos on the wall

Your laughter echoes
A roadside view

Flowers for you

To remind me

To remind me
Why did this happen?

I can’t let it go

[C]

I can’t sit
 In my chair

The phone stayed

Silent in my hand
Something was wrong

This night will

Never end

[Outro]

You said you

Wouldn’t be late

I thought you’d

Walk through the gate
Why did you go…


I’ll never let you go

[V1]
I should’ve stayed with you
That night
Something didn’t
Feel quite right
A chill lingered
In the air
A feeling
Different atmosphere
But you were happy
Not a care
In the world
My friend
You showed no fear

[C]
So now
I’m laying
On my bed
Crazy thoughts
Running through my head
Staring at my phone
Waiting for your call
Something tells me
You’re not coming home
Why won’t this ache
Leave me alone

[V2]
I should’ve stayed with you
That night
But something didn’t
Feel quite right
There was something
In the air
A feeling
Different atmosphere
I should’ve held you tight
Not let you drive off
Into the night
Should’ve kept you in my sight

[C]
So now
I’m laying
On my bed
Crazy thoughts
Running through my head
Staring at my phone
Waiting for your call
Something tells me
You’re not coming home
This ache won’t
Leave me alone

[B]
All that’s left
Of you
Are
Photos
Videos
A roadside view
Of flowers on a post
To remind me
Of you
To remind me
Of you
Why did you go…
I can’t let you go

[C]
So now
I’m laying
On my bed
Staring at my phone
Waiting for your call
Why won’t this ache
Leave me alone

[Outro]
You said
You’d let me know
You’d let me know
You said
You’d let me know
You’d let me know
You’re safe, you’re home

(Why did you go…)

[Verse 1]
When I pulled up
That night
You ran to me
Smiling bright
Everything felt
So right
You jumped in
We took off
Into the night
Radio playing
We were alive
Didn’t think twice
Just along for the ride

[Chorus]
Phone lights up
Beside me
I shouldn’t look
For a second
I lose control
Headlights blur
I drift too far
I never saw
What was in front of the car
Why won’t this moment
Let me go

[Verse 2]
Hands on the wheel
But I’m not there
One glance away
I missed what’s there
The road bends fast
I react too slow
Try to turn it back
I lose control
Your scream
Cuts through my head
Fear turns to silence
Then nothing’s left

[Chorus]
Phone lit up
Beside me
I shouldn’t have looked
I lost control
In a single moment
That’s all it took
I couldn’t see
The road ahead
Now I replay it
Inside my head
This moment
Won’t let go

[Bridge]
All that’s left
Of me
Is
Silence
Broken glass
And sirens
A roadside view
To remind me
Of you
To remind me
Of you
I let you go…
Why did I let you go

[Final Chorus]
Phone silent
Beside me
I can’t look
I lost control
I still see it
I still know
This moment
Will never let go

[Outro]
Now I’m lying
In my redemption bed
Every second
Replays in my head
I should’ve kept
You safe
My friend
That moment
Will never go

I LET YOU GO

[V1]
It wasn’t love
It wasn’t pain
Such a rush
Your secret touch
I want so much
A reckless game
We both played

[V2]
You drew me in
I new the risk
Still leaned in
A taste of trouble
Under my skin
Played with fire
Full of desire

[C]
No rules
Crashing
Into the unknown
Our world
Our fire
In our own
Masquerade

[V3]
I changed
Felt it start
To fade
Nothing left
In our game
All burnt out
What we made

[V4]
Took off the mask
Cos I knew
It would never
Ever last
Tried to stay
But the fires
Fading fast

[C]
No rules
Crashing
Into the unknown
Our world
Our fire
In our own
Masquerade

[B]
Now we’re alone
No one to blame
Danced in flames
Played the game
Ashes left
Where the fire
Once roared
In the end
We burned it all
Yeah,
We burned it all

[C]
No rules
Crashing
Into the unknown
Our world
Our fire
In our own
Masquerade

[Outro]
No regrets
Just a ghost
Of what we made

In the end
We were just
A masquerade

[Verse 1]
Walk in like I own the room
All eyes lock when I make my move
Midnight stare,
Yeah
I caught your view
You don’t know what you’re getting into
No words, I let it play out slow
By the time you see, you already know

[Pre-Chorus]
Cool on my skin
Fire within
You feel the rush
When I pull you in

[Chorus]
I wear black, yeah, I own the night
Heartbeat sync when you catch my eye
I wear black, pull you into my track
One touch and you’re never going back
I wear black, got you right where I want
No control when the tension starts
I wear black, now you’re falling fast
In my shadow, you’re fading to black

[Verse 2]
Slow burn when I cross your space
You try to look but you look away
Every step got you in a daze
Every breath that I take, you chase
No chase, I just let you come
Game already over, I already won

[Pre-Chorus]
Cold like the chrome
But you feel the glow
One little spark
And I take your soul

[Chorus]
I wear black, yeah, I own the night
Heartbeat sync when you catch my eye
I wear black, pull you into my track
One touch and you’re never going back
I wear black, got you right where I want
No control when the tension starts
I wear black, now you’re falling fast
In my shadow, you’re fading to black

[Bridge]
You see me when the lights go low
You feel me but you don’t get close
You want me but I never stay
I’m already walking away

[Chorus]
I wear black, yeah, I own the night
You can’t run when I’m in your mind
I wear black, pull you into my track
One touch and you’re never going back
I wear black, feel your world collapse
Every second you fade to black

[Outro]
Turn my head, I don’t look behind
You’re just another lost in my night
I wear black

[Verse 1]
Walks in slow
She runs the show
Midnight eyes
With a warning glow
Smoking skies in the way she moves
She don’t ask, she don’t have to choose
Lips that tell you take it or leave it
One look says you’ll believe it

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s ice, she’s fire
And she takes you higher
She’s dark but cool
And nobody’s fool

[Chorus]
She wears black and she owns the night
She wears black and you’re caught in her light
She wears black and you’re losing track
When you meet her, there’s no going back

[Verse 2]
Painted nails, black as sin
Doesn’t care who she lets in
One touch and you’re paralysed
She don’t chase, she hypnotises
Sharp and still, she knows the score
Leaves you always wanting more
More more more

[Bridge]
No fear in her eyes
No need for disguise
Her confidence cuts
Like a blade through your mind
Wearing black isn’t hiding at all
It’s a warning before you fall

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s ice, she’s fire
And she takes you higher
She’s dark but cool
And nobody’s fool

[Chorus]
She wears black and she owns the night
She wears black and you’re caught in her light
She wears black and you’re losing track
When she walks in, there’s no going back

[Outro]
She walks away with a catwalk sway
Turns her head like she knows you’ll stay
Whispers low, “see you around”
Then disappears without a sound
Just a ghost in a neon haze
Leaving you in her dark embrace

[V1]
I was lost today
You showed
Me the way
I was in dismay
You took
The blues away
Without you
Heaven felt so
Far away

[C]
You lift me up
When I fall,
You’re my shelter
Through it all.
Every scar,
Every fight,
You make me strong,
You make me right.
You’re the fire
In my soul

[V2]
I was cold inside
You lit
My darker side
I wanted to hide
But you
Give me pride
You stayed with me
Never broken
By my side

[C]
You lift me up
When I fall,
You’re my shelter
Through it all.
Every scar,
Every fight,
You make me strong
You make me right.
You’re the fire
In my soul

[B]
Words unspoken
Hearts not broken
Love devotion
With your love,
I’m alive,
With your trust,
I survive.

[C]
You lift me up
When I fall,
You’re my shelter
Through it all.
Every scar,
Every fight,
You make me strong
You make me right.
You’re the fire
In my soul

[O]
Through the dark,
Through the pain,
With you
I breathe
I rise
When you call
My name
I’m alive again


WITH YOU
I’M ALIVE AGAIN

[V1]
Black horizon
Fractured skies
Sulphur rain
Burns my eyes
Putrid smell
Flames rising
Heat intensifies
As the
Choir of the damned
Fills the air
With chilling cries

[PC]
The Ferryman waits
With sunken eyes
No emotion
No disguise

[C]
My time is coming
Reaper closed
The door
No more running
One more step
To a never ending
Floor
Standing on the
Edge of hell

[V2]
Ground beneath
Begins to quake
Demons below
Stir awake
Every breath
Could be my last
All my memories
In the past
As I wait
To face my
Fate

[PC]
The Ferryman waits
With sunken eyes
No emotion
No disguise

[C]
My time is coming
Reaper closed
The door
No more running
One more step
To a never ending
Floor
Standing on the
Edge of hell

[B]
I see the gates
Open wide
No fear left
Nowhere to hide
Something calls
It knows my name
Through the fire
I walk unchained

[O ]
No angels
To save my soul
As the
Fire burns below
Unpaid souls
Wander
Left for eternity
As I face damnation
Mercy never came
Standing on the
Edge of hell

STANDING ON THE
EDGE OF HELL
