Lyrics Christina Perri - Happy Xmas

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.
So this is Christmas,
I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear one
The old and the young.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one,
Without any fear.

And so this is Christmas,
For weak and for strong,
For rich and the poor ones,
The world is so wrong.
And so happy Christmas,
For black and for whites,
For yellow and red ones,
Let's stop all the fight.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.
Ans so this is Christmas,
I hope you have fun.
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

War is over
If you want it.
War is over now.
War is over
If you want it.
War is over now.
War is over
If you want it.
War is over now.
War is over if you want it,
War is over now

Lyrics Christina Perri - Broken Rules

Lyrics Christina Perri - Broken Rules

I wanna get to know what you have below
That handsome halo that you show
I wanna get behind the light in your eyes
In case your smile is hiding some darkness I love inside

And it might not be the right time
But that's when they say I'll find
The next great love of mine
So tell me who's making these rules
And if you'd like to break them too
'Cause if you do, then baby I'm following you

I wanna take a quick taste of your lips
In case they're perfection to kiss
And I swear that I'll be gentle with your promises
And I know that this isn't slow
Like a friend said we should go
But I don't wanna miss on the chance to hold
Someone like you really close

And this might not be the right time
But that's when they say I'll find
The next great love of mine
So tell me who's making these rules
And if you'd like to break them too
'Cause if you do, then baby I'm following you

I think you should know that I'm broken
I hope you're broken too
'Cause I believe that two broken pieces don't need no glue

And it might not be the right time
But that's when they say I'll find
The next great love of mine
So tell me who's making these rules
And if you like to break rules too
'Cause if you do then baby I'm following
I'll follow you
I'll follow you

Lyrics Christina Perri - Something About December

Lyrics Christina Perri - Something About December

Lights around the tree
Mama's whistling
Takes me back again
There's something bout' December

We're hanging mistletoe
And hoping that it snows
I close my eyes and then
I can still remember
How to get back, home

Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You're not alone
Because the ones you love
Are never far
If Christmas is in your heart

Who really needs a gift
When love is meant to give
I can still recall
Carry with me always
Every Christmas dream
They live in you and me

Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You're not alone
Because the ones you love
Are never far
If Christmas is in your heart

Lights around the tree
Mama's whistling
Takes me back again
There's something bout' December

Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You're not alone
Because the ones you love
Are never far
If Christmas is in your heart

Lyrics Christina Perri - I Like You

Lyrics Christina Perri - I Like You

It's like a little piece of heaven
When you stay
You make me feel like it's all
Okay
And now I know that the sun
Will only shine
When the clouds go away
Cause that's how you make me feel
That's how you make me feel today

And you're like a little piece of candy
On my tongue
You're so much fun
And I flip like a butterfly
With one look in your eyes
That's how you make me feel
That's how you make me feel tonight

And I think I like you
And I think you like me too

Lets keep dreaming and wishing
This way
Growups don't take enough time to play
Love is all that matters at the end of the day
That's how you make me feel
Thank you for making me feel this way

And I think I like you
And I think you like me too

Lyrics Christina Perri - Mine

Lyrics Christina Perri - Mine

Wait a minute, I don't want you to know
Is the only way that I can go

A secret's safe behind a pretty smile
And it's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

What's with all the late night liquor phone calls?
I don't think your love likes me at all

A secret's safe behind a pretty smile
But it's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

What? What might you do to find out why I can't love you?
I can't love you!

Oh
Oh

Who said it was cool to be asking me these questions?
Your who, what, and where, when and why are making my head spin
And when was it an option to put your lips upon my lips?
And how did this happen?
And why are you laughing?
And how do I get back together again?

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh

What?
What might you do?
And what?
What might you do?
To find out why
To find out why
I can't love you
I can't love you
I can't love you

Lyrics Christina Perri - Backwards

Lyrics Christina Perri - Backwards

Take me backwards
Turn me around
Cannot find my balance
On the ground
This world is too heavy
For a feather falling quickly

And I wrote your story
But I'm afraid of how it ends
And though my friends are doing well
And I'm still on the mend

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
'Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
I tried to be brave

Nothing's coming easy
And all at once
I feel a little queasy
Oh but if you lost my remedy
Won't you please come and be with me
It's not like there's much better
But his grasp is as green as mine
I can't say that I'm satisfied
Three thousand miles from your kiss goodbye

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
And everybody's afraid
'Cause chances come from change
And everybody's afraid
Cause chances come from breaking
That chances are you're breaking open

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
'Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
It's time to be brave

Lyrics Christina Perri - One Wish

Lyrics Christina Perri - One Wish

If I had one wish
I'd make us drift away far from this place
And you know better than me that I like it my way
Since the circumstance is weak,
I know that you are swallowing your pride
When you look at me

All I'm trying to say
Is that whatever you do it's okay
Baby I'll stay

I am not a fool
And it comes straight down to your p's and q's
And mister I think you have me all wrong
'Cause at the end of every day
I like to lay my head your way
And listen to your heart sing

All I'm trying to say
Is that whatever you do it's okay
'Cause baby I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you

Lyrics Christina Perri - The Lonely

Lyrics Christina Perri - The Lonely

Two am, where do I begin
Crying off my face again
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed

I'm a ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again

Too afraid, to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night
For the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me till I fall asleep

I'm a ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again

Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me
And the lonely

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again

Lyrics Christina Perri - Miles

Lyrics Christina Perri - Miles

I'm scared today
More than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left

Proud of me
That's the only way I want you to be
Look at me and love
What you see

I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you
Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do

Don't count the miles,
Count the "I love you's"

We made it out
And all the other people are asking how
This doesn't even sound like truth
To grow from a bruise

But one day we will realize
How hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you
Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do

Don't count the miles,
Count the "I love you's"

And these are words
I wish you said
But that's not how it went
'Cause you gave up on us in the end

And I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you
Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised I'd come home to you
Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do

Don't count the miles,
Count the "I love you's"

Lyrics Christina Perri - Trust

Lyrics Christina Perri - Trust

Like the winds, blowing
Changes, fast and growing
I knew better then
I knew better then

Words that hurt the ones you lovin'
Hatred for who you're becomin'
I knew better then yes
I knew better then

To trust myself
To trust someone else
To trust the lies that slip from my mouth
Trust the heart I'm so quick to sell

Yes I knew better then
I knew better then
To trust love again

Memories who won't stop stinging
Promises I could't believe in
I knew better then
I knew better then

To trust myself
To trust someone else
To trust the doubt in the back of my mind
Trust the trail of pain left behind
Yes, I knew better then
I knew better then to trust love again

And I'm so quick to lose
What was never mine to keep
And I cannot stand (oh) what's broken under me
I don't know how to forgive
Myself for everything that I missed
Learn trust

Like the winds, blowing
Changes, fast and growing
I knew better then
I knew better then

Lyrics Christina Perri - Tragedy

Lyrics Christina Perri - Tragedy

If you could envision
The meaning of a tragedy, ooh
You might be surprised to hear it's you and me
When it comes down to it
You never made the most of it, ooh
So I cried, cried, cried
And now, I say goodbye

And I won't be made a fool of
Don't call this love

When did you decide
I didn't have enough to buy?
Forgive and forget you a thousand times
For the fire and the sleepless nights

And I won't be made a fool of
Don't call this love
I don't call this love
La la la la la la love
La la la la la la love
La la la la la la love

Why did you feel the need to prove that everybody else was right?
No I, won't fight

Oh you're my tragedy, tragedy
Oh you're my tragedy,
Oh this is oh no no no
La la la la la la love
La la la la la la love
La la la la la la love

Lyrics Christina Perri - Sea Of Lovers

Lyrics Christina Perri - Sea Of Lovers

A certain type of wind has swept me up
But till it's found each bone
I, I'm overcome
There is an icy breath that escapes my lips
And I am lost again
A certain type of darkness is stalling me
Under a quite mask of uncertainty
I wait for light like water from the sky
And I am lost again

In the sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
Will you let me follow you
Wherever you go
Bring me home

A certain type of silence's filled my voice
A scream beneath the water make no noise
All my prayers go quiet and never heard
And I am lost again

In the sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
Will you let me follow you
Wherever you go
Bring me home

A certain type of wind has swept me up
But till it's found each bone
I, I'm overcome
There is an icy breath that escapes my lips
And I am lost again

In the sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers without ships
And lovers without sign
You're the only way out of this
Sea of lovers losing time
And lovers losing hope
Will you let me follow you
Wherever you go
Bring me home

Lyrics Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

Lyrics Christina Perri - A Thousand Years

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Lyrics Christina Perri - Butterfly

Lyrics Christina Perri - Butterfly

You're a pretty butterfly
You keep on passing by
You never land inside my hands
Your home is in the sky
And there's a lesson waiting to be learned
The fire starters always get the best
And the good guys never get the girl
No shooting stars cannot fix the world
And I've made the same mistakes
But I won't this time
No I won't this time

And you're a pretty butterfly
And I believed all your lies
Blinded by your sideways smile
And the kindness in your eyes
But there's a limit to your flight
I can offer you a better life
But you keep on flying from the light
And I've lost my faith in wrong and right
And I've made the same mistakes
But I won't this time
No I won't this time

I know exactly what you do
I made damn sure I studied you
You won't pick me
I'm just a breeze underneath your wings
So I pray each night you'll change your mind
And maybe I'm worth the fight
But I am wrong every time
You only know how to fly

You only know how to fly
You only know how to fly

Lyrics Christina Perri - My Eyes

Lyrics Christina Perri - My Eyes

My eyes are so tired
They should sleep
But they won't
They don't
They won't let me pass this up

My eyes are stuck open in love
They want more of him
They need less of this
They're everything
They're unbelievable

My eyes are lonely and cold
They're young
And they're old
They're looking for a way out
And a moment to let you in
They want nothing to do with me
And only want to do with him
They're hungry
I'm warning
And I'm scared

And they won't let me thrive
They'll need everything you own
Make it all so real
By learning to feel
It's not really happening
What's going on is much more
Than I ever hoped for
Ever hoped for

And I'd much rather imagine it
Then not live at all

Lyrics Christina Perri - Burning Gold

Lyrics Christina Perri - Burning Gold

Looking for an exit in this world of fear
I can see the path that leads away
Mama never left, and daddy needs me here
I wish the wind would carry a change
Looking through the window to a world of dreams
I can see my future slip away
Honey you won't get there if you don't believe
I wish the wind would carry a change

I've had enough
I'm standing up
I need, I need a change
I've had enough
Of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold
Till our lives are burning gold

Looking for my ticket to a higher place
I can see my chance begin to fade
One step forward and two back again
I wish the wind would carry a change

I've had enough
I'm standing up
I need, I need a change
I've had enough
Of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold
Till our lives are burning gold

Looking back I see I had the flame in me
I'm the wind that's carrying a change

I've had enough
Of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold

I'm setting fire to the life that I know (I know)
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go (we go)
We starting fires,
We starting fires till our lives are burning gold
Till our lives are burning gold

Lyrics Christina Perri - Heart For Sale

Lyrics Christina Perri - Heart For Sale

I've got a heart for sale
It's a little worn, and torn, and pale
If it beats, then I'll make you a deal
I'll give it to you for free,
If you can love it, carefully,
And get, it away from me.

(Chorus)
I know that I
Should keep it for a while
And learn what it
May need to survive
But I can't, no I won't
Make it through
One more loveless bruise

I can't seem to get it right
But I try, and try, and try
In the end, I just lose all the fights
And crawl back home to hope my heart
Can make it through
Another night of the same, Oh pain.

(Chorus)
I know that I
Should keep it for a while,

And learn what it
May need to survive
But I can't, No I won't
Make it through, One more loveless bruise

(Bridge)
I'll give you a try
If your not satisfied,
Then send it back
And I'll mend the cracks
And I'll look for another buyer.

(Chorus)
I know that I
Should keep it for a while
And learn what it needs to survive
But I can't, No I won't
Make it through
One more loveless bruise

Tired of being used
You don't know, What I've been through.

Lyrics Christina Perri - No One's Gonna Love You

Lyrics Christina Perri - No One's Gonna Love You

(Originally by Band of Horses)

It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

And anything to make you smile
It's a better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down, hard

I did anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That your better off
Or you liked it that way

'Cos no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

They really should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down, hard

Lyrics Christina Perri - Arms

Lyrics Christina Perri - Arms

I never thought that
You would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around
And you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me
And I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you
But I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home
