sara bareilles - hold my heart

I never meant to be
The one to let you down
If anything, I thought
I saw myself going first
I didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but
Me be getting hurt...

I keep remembering the summer night
And the conversation breaking up the mood
I didn't want to tell you you were right
Like the season changing,
Oh, I felt it too...

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go too soon...

I want to tell you so before
The sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go of you...

I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is you've been
Hiding from it too
I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying everything no words could ever do...

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go too soon...

I want to tell you so before
The sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go of you...

Is anybody listening?
'Cause I'm crying
Is anybody listening?

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go too soon...

I want to tell you so before
The sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go,
Let go, let go of you...

sara bareilles - 1000 times

Back of the room
Looking at you
Counting the steps
Between us

A hundred and five
Little blades in a line
From your skin to mine
And I feel it

Eyes on the ground
But I can't look up now
Don't wanna give it away
My secret

In another life,
My teeth and tongue
Would speak aloud what until now
I've only sung

Cause I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry each and every time
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times

You can make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
(Hey Hey)

Kiss me goodnight
Like a good friend might
I'll do the same
But won't mean it

Cause love is a cage
These words on a page
Carry the pain
They don't free it

In another life
I wouldn't need to
Console myself
As I resign to release you

Cause I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry each and every time
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times

You can make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times

Again again
I let it go, let it go
Cover my mouth
Don't let a single word slip out

Wouldn't wanna tell you, no
Tell you, no
Nothing could be worse
Than the risk of
Losing what I don't have now

And we could buy the minute, though
Is it so bad if I wanna cry out

That I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry almost every time
But I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times

Make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times
I would come back 1000 times (Hey yeah)
I would come back 1000 times

sara bareilles - love song

Head under water
And you tell me
To breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder
Even I know that
Made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song
Today
Today...

I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you wanna hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and your twisted words
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today

Promise me
You'll leave the light on
To help me see
With daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe
There's a way
You can love me
Because I say

I won't write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one
You see I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song
Today.
Today...

sara bareilles - brave

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up

Nothing's gonna hurt you
The way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside
No sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen
If you say what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave

Everybody's been there
Everybody's been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing
Bowed down to the mighty

Don't run
Stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

Say what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave

And since your history of silence
Won't do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?

Say what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
See you be brave

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you

sara bareilles - breathe again

Car is parked, bags are packed,
But what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch,
The one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone
And now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide
If the fire inside still burns...

All I have, all I need, he's the air
I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping
Someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again...

Open up next to you and
My secrets become your truth
And the distance between that
Was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built
From all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love
I can't carry anymore...

All I have, all I need, he's
The air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping
Someday I'll breathe again...

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's
The air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
Still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's
The air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping
Someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again...

sara bareilles - gravity

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, understand, so torn
Just the way I supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone.

Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, understand, so torn
Just the way I supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down

But you're on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long

sara bareilles - any way the wind blows

Can't tell you the truth
'least I don't lie about that
Kind of comfort in you
comes when you lie right back

Safe from such a strange point of view
To hear your own words on you

How much do you go to be gone
You are any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows in
Don't wanna come down too low
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows in
Any way the wind blows in

Same all the creatures we are
Chasing the pipe dream down
Love's elusive so far
Keeps us divided now

Go, go on and write me love songs
So I have something to sing when your gone

How much do you go to be gone
You are any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows in
Don't wanna come down too low
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows in
Don't wanna come down
Do you know the way
To be in one place but sway
Any way the winds blow in

You are love
You are monsters and angels
Untouched and unseen
All in one
I take all that you are
Cause you're just like me
But you move and it's hard
To stay close to a satellite
So I lose sight of you
Till you come round again
I'm watching the wind

Anyway the winds blow in

How much do you go to be gone
You are any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows in
Don't wanna come down too low
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows in
Don't wanna come down
Do you know the way
To be in one place but stay
Any way the winds blow in
Any way the winds blow in
Any way the winds blow in

sara bareilles - i choose you

Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
Cause I could live by the light in your eyes

I'll unfold before you
Would have strung together
The very first words
Of a lifelong love letter

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you
(Yeah)

There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me that you could not come true
Just love's illusion
But then you found me and everything changed
And I believe in something again

My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you

We are not perfect
We'll learn from our mistakes
And as long as it takes
I will prove my love to you

I am not scared of the elements
I am underprepared, but I am willing
And even better
I get to be the other half of you

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you

sara bareilles - bottle it up

There'll be girls across the nation that will eat this up, babe
I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up and
Get down to the heart of it, no it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again my love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts with her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much except soon as you start to make room for the parts
That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing worth trying to be and it's

Love, love, love, love
I do it for love, love, love, love

We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us oh
But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up and get started
At keeping your part of the bargain aw please little darlin'
You're killing me sweetly with love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing worth
trying to be

Love, love, love, love
I do it for love, love, love, love

Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
Baby's getting next to nowhere with a back against the wall
You meant to make me happy make me sad
Want to make it better better so bad
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here

Love you're all I ever could need, only one good thing worth trying to be
And it's love, love, love, love
I do it for love, love, love, love
Oh, only gonna get get what you give away, so give love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away, love

sara bareilles - chasing the sun

It?s a really old city
Stuck between the dead and the living
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet
Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens

I started running the maze of
The names and the dates, some older than others
The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers
With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders
Built a cemetery in the center of Queens

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun!
So fill up your lungs and just run
But always be chasing the sun!

So how do you do it,
With just words and just music, capture the feeling
That my earth is somebody?s ceiling, can I deliver in sound
The weight of the ground
Of a cemetery in the center of Queens

There?s a history through her
Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us the proof
More than that, it?s to dare us to move
To open our eyes and to learn from the sky
From a cemetery in the center of Queens

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun!
So fill up your lungs and just run
But always be chasing the sun!

All we can do is try
And live like we?re still alive

It?s a really old city
Stuck between the dead and the living
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf
And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony
Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun!
So fill up your lungs and just run
But always be chasing the sun!

All we can do is try
And live like we?re still alive

All we can do is try
And live like we?re still alive

sara bareilles - one sweet love

Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is
Made out of my own devices....could I be wrong?

CHORUS
Time that I've taken
Pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of
One sweet love?
Ready and waiting
For a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Weave your shadows in the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
Take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
Things I dream that I can do
I'll open up the moon for you
Just come down soon

CHORUS

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
Sip on the southern rain, as I do
I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you.

The earth that is the space between
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
An unexpected love provides
My solitary's suicide...oh I wish I knew

CHORUS

sara bareilles - before i knew better

Don't know where to put you anymore
You can't be kept inside my dresser drawer
I find the pieces of you in my dreams
And in the evenings
Spill out the edge of my mind.
Memories of you feel like they're miles wide
It's all I can do to get to the other side
Of these evenings

Chorus
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Knew you'd love me forever
Before I ever knew better

Can't see myself back beside you
But I see nobody else
Nobody's perfect but I'm perfectly happy to keep on
Bringing this love down off the shelf.

Chorus
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Knew you'd love me forever
Before I ever knew..

Bridge
Better off, I couldn't say if I'd be better off without a love I live without anyway
Better off, oooh. Who knows? See you tonight.
Before I ever knew better

sara bareilles - gonna get over you

Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by,
Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands

Well, no more,
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Say it's coming soon,
Someday without you,
All I can do
Is get me past the ghost of you,

Wave goodbye to me,
I won't say I'm sorry,
I'll be alright
once I find the other side of someday
Oohoohooohoohooh...
Oohoohooohoohooh...

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

sara bareilles - basket case

I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that
You can rifle through
The cold hard truth that
You'll see right to
I'm just basket case without you...

He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him...

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case...

I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and
I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case and that what we do...

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case...

Won't somebody come on
In and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in
Of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in
I don't want it anymore...

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case...

sara bareilles - king of anything

Oh oh oh oh
Keep drinking coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions man
We're all entitled to
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate it to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to say...
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS]
Ooooooh
You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
And ride off into your
Delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down
Just not the listening
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS]
All my life
I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS]
[CHORUS]Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything[/CHORUS]
Let me hold your crown babe
Oh oh, ooooo
