This Ain’t The Way You Go Out Album Lyrics by Lucy Rose

Light As Grass

Come find me in discomfort
Light me up and put me out
Can you read my mind

Let me in on all of you
It can’t be this hard all the time
Can’t forget the truth

Cause I saw you
Light as grass
Floating high above the atmosphere
And I saw you
Falling fast
Quietly hiding from reality

Hold me up and tear me down
I lost track of the certainties
Evaporate this calm

Never knew the doubt I feel
You’d never understand it’s pain
Do you know me well

Cause I am me and you are you
Well there’s a greatness in our view
I saw the future in your eyes
Don’t confuse the thoughts inside

Cause I saw you

---

Could You Help Me

Could you help me
Well I’m fighting my way through each day
Could you see me
Could you fit me in your busy day
Seems like no-one
Believes my mind

Got a feeling like I never even ever knew you
Underneath it could I ever really feel it for you

Now I’m learning
How terribly lonely illness is
On a hard day
Has there ever been another way

Dusty Frames

Dusty frames
Of photographs that take me back to
Those old days
Life could be so simple
But it’s full of pain
And memories that keep us going
All the same
Couldn’t you have been much kinder

I don’t know where I am going
But it’s driving me insane
Why could you have not shown her
The same love
You showed me every day
The same love
That would make a difference

But it’s too late
She’s gone because the world was cruel
Now rain has come
But not enough to wash away your sins
They’ll stay
But change and we could all live
A better day
Please change for her and change for him

I’m begging you
Water’s running down my face
And I feel lost
Because the world was never what
I dreamt it was
Not a world that I can live
So change it all
There doesn’t need to be this pain
So change it all
Change it for our children
Can you see we’re broke
Can’t you see it can’t you see it
Change it all
There’s beauty in the smallest moments
Can’t you see
Where there is hate we could bring love
So change it all
Can’t you see her

Whatever You Want

How can something like this happen to me
A miracle, a disaster, all in one fell swoop
Cause nothing comes from nothing
Somebody turn the lights out

They said you can be whatever you want
But so what

Trees grow, the sun shines, I’m remembering simpler times
A baby, in my arms, has given me more joy than I could know
Cause something came from nothing
And you changed my life

They said you can be whatever you want
But so what
I want friends around that don’t feel lost
I want love for all that isn’t at a cost
I wanna be a strong and not feel hopeless
But guess what

Life's Too Short

You came and then you faded away
And I don’t think I would change a thing
So what makes you feel like I would care
If you walked right in and took that free chair

Cause life’s too short for this
It’s just a one step in front of the other
I said life’s too short for this
You gotta keep on keep on keeping

And you thought that you could steal my spark
But guess again it won’t dampen for too long
Cause I got more than one reason to live
So I’ll learn to let go of all this shit

So won’t you talk to me
You’re locked up in your freedom
You gotta open up open up and smell the roses
For me for me

This Ain't The Way You Go Out

Thought I’d been through the hardest time of my life
I lost who I was and I lost all my fight
To something I had no control over
It took my body it took my soul
And now I’m figuring out
What is left behind

Cause I don’t feel
Like I believe in me anymore
Well my time has run short
And I blame myself
For being so weak
But this brave body
Is still carrying me

I got life on my side time not so much
I got a whole lot of love but a whole lot of hurt
And if someone on the street asks me
What it’s like being me
I’ll say hell it’s been a journey
Like everyone else you meet

Somebody came and pulled me out
She said this ain’t the way you go out

---

Over When It's Over

Can you believe it
The mess we got into
It was so easy
Betrayal don’t taste so good
Everyone got a
Story they have to tell
Well finding the truth
A skill unto it’s self

It ain’t over till we say it’s over
And it ain’t over
Not even close yeah
Darling I hear that things got hard
I’m sorry
But it ain’t over
Not till it’s over

Don’t you believe me
Well I told you straight from straight
What you perceiving
Well I wish that it could change
We’ve seen a lot
We’ve been a lot
I needed change
Fear you not
Here we are
Standing tall
Wanting better
For our latter

I’m looking at you now
And I’m so proud
So proud

Find our way through
Find our way through you know we’ll

---

Sail Away

Head to the wave and I’ll sail away
Desperate search for a better place
Pain rising up leaves an empty page
Ink dried up then washed away

You are the only one
You are the only one for me

Say you want and I’ll sail away
Take heed I won’t let it go to waste
Yeah now I’m fragile but I got grace
Hold me up to my new age
I’ve looked inside now I’m turning out
Looking up towards the sky

You are the only one
You are the only one for me
Take heart I won’t be going nowhere
Cause this love it never ends
No this love it never ends

Sail away

interlude II

[Instrumental]

No More

You got me all wrong can’t you see
Pretend you don’t know what I’ve been through
Well nothing come easy
But does it have to be so hard
So leave the door closed

Cause I don’t want to feel it no more
And I don’t want to hear it no more
I’m looking for a different point of view
Cause I don’t want to see it

Somethings are simpler left unsaid
But sometimes that leaves me wondering if you care
Well time it moves fast
And I’m afraid we’re too slow
So hold me forward

So I close my eyes
Cause I can’t remember
What I was like before this
When I was someone else

The Racket

I said thank you thank you thank you thank you
For loving me

I’ve been searching every minute of life
For what you give me

Cause if I’m real honest and you know it
It’s not always breezy

Took it for granted
Life ain’t always what you were handed
Don’t be so easily offended
There’s somethings I learnt to live with cause somethings can’t be changed

Cause I make the most of a bad occasion
Without much choice

Cause I’m still picking up the racket
And I hit the ball

As the white feather begins to fall down
Heaven is near

And I wonder if you’re out there listening
Forgiveness is real

No you can’t break me down
I won’t let you bring me down

Take a deep breath
