James Arthur – Empty Space (Official Video)
I don’t see you
You’re not in every window I look through
And I don’t miss you
You’re not in every single thing I do
I don’t think we’re meant to be
And you are not the missing piece
I won’t hear it
Whenever anybody says your name
And I won’t feel it
Even when I’m burstin‘ into flames
I don’t regret the day I left
I don’t believe that I was blessed
I’m probably lyin‘ to myself, again
I’m alone in my head
Looking for love in a stranger’s bed
But I don’t think I’ll find it
‚Cause only you could fill this empty space
I wanna tell all my friends
But I don’t think they would understand
It’s something l’ve decided
‚Cause only you could fill this empty space
Space, space
This empty space
Space, space
This
‚Cause only you could fill this empty space
I’ve been drinking
I’ve been doing things I shouldn’t do
Overthinking
I don’t know who I am without you
I’m a liar and a cheat
I let my ego swallow me
And that’s why I might never see you again
I’m alone in my head
Looking for love in a stranger’s bed
But I don’t think I’ll find it
‚Cause only you could fill this empty space
I wanna tell all my friends
But I don’t think they would understand
It’s something l’ve decided
‚Cause only you could fill this empty space
Space, space
This empty space
Space, space
This
‚Cause only you could fill this empty space
I couldn’t make you love me? 4 x // Couldn’t make you love me? // I couldn’t make you love me?
I couldn’t make you love me? (space, space) 2 x
I couldn’t make you love me? // Couldn’t make you love me? //Couldn’t make you love me?

The World Is Ending
THE WORLD IS ENDING
VERS 1
Let’s not kid ourselves
We’re not important in the long run
The worlds going to hell
Nobody will remember what you’ve done
Let’s not be ignorant
Sometimes we’re just to arrogant
Noone remembers your face
When the worlds gong up in flames
CHORUS 1
The worlds ending either way
So why throw my precious time away
When the world is going up in my flames
The world is ending either way
So I’ll say what I wanna say
The world is going up in my flames
VERS 2
Let’s get one thing straight
I’m not a cynic I just really hate
Caring ´bout what they think
Havin´ to worry ‘bout every little thing
Today I realised
We’re life on borrowed time
Whatever happens either way
We’ll be dead soon anyway
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE
No I won’t lie
We’re running towards the end
When will they realise
That this isn’t for pretend – just
But at this point
There’s just no going back
And apparently
We’ll just live with that
But why does nobody ever give a damn
Why do we hide away
Should be living while we still can – 2 x
CHORUS – CODA
The worlds ending either way
So why throw my precious time away
When the world is going up in my flames
The world is ending either way
So I’ll say what I wanna say
The worlds ending either way
ANARCHIST
INTRO
VERS 1
Locked me in a room since I was young
I’ve never seen a morning sun come up
I’m employee of the month at a Ritalin club
Yeah, why do you think I’m so messed up?
PRE-CHORUS 1
They don’t know where I am, I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I am, don’t know where I am
Don’t know where I am
REFRAIN 1
They said I’m an ana-ana-anarchist, I’m an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I’m an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
VERS 2
’Cause they took my favorite old game set
And then they pawned my toys for a Perocet
And then they tied up a toaster to my head
And then they chucked me off a cliff but I’m still not dead
PRE-CHORUS 2
They don’t know where I am, I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I am, don’t know where I am
Don’t know where I am
REFRAIN 2
They said I’m an ana-ana-anarchist, I’m an anarchist

COULD BE FUN, BABY
INTRO
VERS 1
Hey girl how u doing
Are u looking for something new and
Could that something new possibly be me
Any chance u wanna go make out with me
Are u worried bout what the others say?
Is that what’s standing in ur way?
Cause they can piss of for all I care
To be honest I find it funny when they stare
PRE-CHORUS 1
So hey, what u say
We could go back to my place
Have another two shots
Then we’ll fade away
Don’t worry about what they say
They all suck anyway
CHORUS 1
Let’s piss of our parents
Act like we couldn’t care less
Act like we don’t know
How this is gonna go
Let’s make them all mad
It’s just a kiss –
It’s not that bad
Let’s make them angry
Could be fun baby
VERSE 2
What is everybodys problem
It’s the 21 century goddamn
Don’t they have something better to do
Than talking about me and you
To be fair, I really don’t care
Ur the only one I like in here
Not my fault they are fucked in the head
And that provocation is what I do best
PRE-CHORUS 2
CHORUS 2
CODA
Could be fun

VERS 1
Sorry for those late nights
And all those stupid fights
When I couldn’t admit you´re right
Sorry for all those breakdowns
And all those letdowns
And what I couldn’t figure out
PRE-CHORUS 1
How to trust
How to love
How to not fuck itt up
(How) To talk –
(How) To touch how to just have fun
How to be
How to leave
How to say sorry
I’m sorry
CHORUS 1
So one last apology
That you’ll hear from me
Then I’ll set u free
You´re free to go
One last apology
It´s time for me to leave
So one last sorry
For making you fix me
VERS 2
Sorry for my attitude
And all of my awful moods
Sorry that I couldn’t be better for you
Sorry for the drama
Now I know that karma
Always comes back around
Sorry that I lied
Sorry that I did´nt reply
I´m sorry for wasting your time
I´m sorry your letting you believe
That things would be better eventually
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE – FILLS
I´m sorry – 3 x –
But don´t worry –
I have learned my lesson new

OUTRO
BIT OF A MESS
INTRO
VERS 1
Hey mum,
I don’t mean to bother you
There’s a lot of things
U feel u have to do
And ur priorities have always been a little weird
Hey mum,
I don’t mean to waste ur time
There’s a lot of things on ur mind
But lately it feels like ur never here
PRE-CHORUS 1
And god this sounds depressing
I don’t mean to cry for attention
(But) maybe u could just listen
CHORUS 1
‘Cause I’m not doing well
stuck in my very own personal hell
No, I’m not okay
Help me to stop feeling this way
I’M a bit of a mess
Little bit anxious and a little bit depressed
And all I wanna do
Is maybe just fucking talk to you
VERS 2
Hey dad,
I know it’s been a while
Since we last talked, since I’ve seen u smile
And I think it’s cause ur never home
Hey dad,
I know it’s been a couple (of) rough years
So u avoid being home, avoid being here
But lately I feel
Like I’m all alone
PRE-CHORUS 2
CHORUS 2
CODA
I’M a ) bit of a mess
Little bit anxious and a little bit depressed
And none of this is fair to you
Is maybe just fucking talk to you
EMPTY SPACE
INTRO
VERS 1
I don’t see you
You’re not in every window I look through
And I don’t miss you
You’re not in every single thing I do
I don’t think we’re meant to be
And you are not the missing piece
I won’t hear it
Whenever anybody says your name
And I won’t feel it
Even when I’m burstin‘ into flames
I don’t regret the day I left
I don’t believe that I was blessed
I’m probably lyin‘ to myself, again
CHORUS 1
I’m alone in my head
Looking for love in a stranger’s bed
But I don’t think I’ll find it

It’s something l’ve decided
’Cause only you could fill this empty space
POST-CHORUS 1
Space, space – This empty space – Space, space – This
’Cause only you could fill this empty space

I’ve been drinking

BLACK AND WHITE
INTRO
VERS 1
You change your mind like the damn seasons
You’re kinda here but you’re thinking ‘bout leaving
You can’t commit to save your life
And you don’t care if that ruins mine
And love is really difficult for you
I get it, I promise, I really do
But each time you do not say it
I get a little more frustrated
PRE-CHORUS 1
And I was never one for a compromise
Cause I see the world in:
CHORUS 1
Either Black or white
It’s wrong or it’s right
You either love me or you don’t
Don’t say you don’t know, no no
It’s either now or never
It’s never or forever
You either love me or you don’t
Don’t say you don’t know, no no
VERS 2
You haven’t given me any damn reason
To talk this out or something to believe in
You don’t say sh*t to save this life
But I do care if we can’t make this right
And feelings (can) change like they always do
I get it, I promise, I really do
But we’ve been doing this for a long time
But now it’s (feels) like u don’t even try
PRE – CHORUS 2
And I cannot wait for a longer time
‘cause I see the world in:
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE
You either love me hopelessly or I’m sorry but I’ll leave
‘Cause I don’t wanna be a greyzone
You either give it your all
Or you can watch us fall
‘Cause I don’t wanna be a greyzone
Don’t you know that love is…
PRE – CHORUS 1
CHORUS 3
MEMORIES
INTRO
VERS 1
We were singing “drag me down”
SIn the middle of the town
‘cause we were just so happy
or dancing in my room with nothing to do
yeah, we were just so carefree
or hiding from your mum ‘cause we stayed out too long
and she was worried ‘bout the weather
built that cabin in the woods thought we were Robin Hood
and we’d save the world together
PRE-CHORUS 1
Looking back at these days
There are tears falling down my face
Yea, i know people grow up
But I never thought it would happen to us
It happen to us
CHORUS 1
(But) now its all just memories
some photos in our galleries
Do you look back at them
Cause I’ll admit I do
Are you remeniscing when you see our school
now it’s all just memories
Souvenirs Ill always keep
You ever think about what we used to do
Cause all my favourite memories I spent them with you
POST-CHORUS 1
Even if they warned me, I never believed
That one day all you’d be
Is a memory, is a memory
VERS 2
Remember that time when we used to fight
Over who is better in twilight
Or all these nights
Were we definetely lied
When we said we’d go to bed before midnight
And those letters we wrote sitting in your home
To our future selfs listening to the one
Singinf – off-key
Saying we really need help
PRE-CHORUS 2
CHORUS 2
I guess we’re just memories
all those secrets that I keep
I promise their save with me whatever I do
I would never betray the memory of you
now we’re just memories
like those messages I’ll never delete
do u look back at them cause I know I do
I get nostalgic when I think of you
POST-CHORUS 1
BRIDGE
I guess, Noone’s to blame Friendships fade
That’s just the curse of time
Some people change and some stay the same
That’s just what happens in life
OUTRO / CODA
Even if they warned me, i never believed
That one day all I’d be
Is a memory
Is a memory
DYING YOUNG
INTRO
VERS 1
I gotta live fast, party hard
Fall in love & break hearts
Fly away as far as I can
Wake up & do it all again
Roadtrip in my mums car
Feelin like a fucking rockstar
Cause I heard you only live once
And I plan on dying young 2x
REFRAIN 1
I dont really see myself growing old
I don’t really care what the future holds
What’s the point of living after 25
If I’m already over life
I dont need to see the apocalypse
Or the whole world just going to shit
I don’t wanna live forever
So I’m living like it’s now or never
VERS 2
I gotta make waves, be loud
Why whisper when u can shout
Not hide myself away
Not worry bout what they say
Gotta dance, gotta sing off key
Who cares I’m just doing me
Cause I heard you only live once
And I plan on dying young 2x
BRIDGE
I gotta cut my hair, dye it pink
Just try out everything
New concert every other night
Live like I’m not getting out alive
REFRAIN 2
I dont really see myself growing old
I don’t really care what the future holds
What’s the point of living after 25
If I’m already over life
I dont need to see the apocalypse
Or the whole world just going to shit
I don’t wanna live forever
So I’m living like it’s now or never
HERE FOR YOU
INTRO
VERS 1
Yeah it feels like you‘re falling apart
When the one you loved went and broke your heart
Now you’re stuck in your room
U don’t know what to do
And you feel yourself breaking down
Just know I’ll be around
CHORUS 1
It’s a difficult time and a difficult life
But there’s gonna be better days
I pray you are okay
And love is hard
And the world is harsh
But the sun will shine soon
And I’m still here, I’m still here for you – 2 x
VERS 2
It’s hard losing someone you loved
But promise me that you won’t give up
It’s okay to cry – To be angry for a while
It’s okay to break down
Just know I’ll be around
CHORUS 2
It’s a difficult time and a difficult life
But there’s gonna be better days
I pray you are okay
And love is hard
And the world is harsh
But the sun will shine soon
And I’m still here, I’m still here for you – 2 x
BRIDGE
You can cry on my shoulder
Promise, I’ll hold ya – Promise, I’ll never let go
And if your heart breaks
Then I’ll tell you it’s okay – Yeah you can let it all go
CHORUS 3
RUN AND HIDE / COVER
INTRO
VERS 1
I don´t want to buy what they´re selling these days
Saying feeling and falling is all a mistake, no no
And why does everybody look at young hearts felling of
Like it´s just matter of time before tey brea, no no
CHORUS 1
They started saying when you can´t hide, run
When you can´t run, hide
Started thinking love´s loaded gun
Nobody wants to fight
And when did we all stop thinking of the world
Stop spinning in a kiss goodnight
And when did our heartbeat beating too fast
Start meaning it was worth the while
(But – 2-x.) I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
And I don´t wanna run, I don´t wanna hide
INTRO
VERS 2
Traitor had eyes, delight of scream, traded out
Holding is to holding back everything, no no
And words got shorter and quiet got longer
And all of a sudden love started looking like a memory
CHORUS 2
They started saying if you can´t hide, run
If you can´t run, hide
Started thinking love´s loaded gun
Nobody wants to fight
And when did we all stop thinking of the world
Stop spinning in a kiss goodnight
And when did our heartbeat beating too fast
Start meaning it was worth the while
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
I wanna, I wanna be loved
And I don´t wanna run, I don´t wanna hide
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS 3
OUTRO
And I don´t wanna run, I don´t wanna hide
And I don´t wanna run, I don´t wanna hide
HOME
INTRO
VERS 1
If you wanna yell at the world
Cause you just dont feel heard
Or if u wanna go run & hide
Cause life is just really terrible sometimes
Or if you’re alone at night
Overthinking the meaning of life
Know that I’m a phone call away
And I’ll gladly listen to whatever u have to say
CHORUS 1
I guess
Home is where the heart is
Sounds so clichée doesn’t it
But somehow I guess that it’s true
‘cause I’ll always be here for you
Home is wherever u want it to be
Whatever u want, whoever u need
Hope u know you’re never alone
U always have a place to call home
VERS 2
If ur considering dying young
Then I know that there is no song
To get u out of ur misery
But it’ll get easier eventually
And maybe ur parents don’t talk much
Maybe they were never there at all but
Home is whatever u decide
And I will gladly stay by your side
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE
The world doesn’t end quite yet
There’s still plenty of time left
To drive ur parents out their right mind
Cause their black and white thinking just aint right
The world doesn’t end quite yet
Still so many memories left
To keep that empty space occupied right
And to stop trying to apologize
OUTRO
So I hope u know you’re never alone
U always have a place to call home
I’ll always be ur home
(The world doesn’t end quite yet)
