"The Sting" (2013)

Highway lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

I've lost my dreams
Along the highway
You couldn't love
What I've become

Now it seems
You won't go highway
You split the seams
Inside of me

I've lost my dreams
Along the highway
Light up the sky
Or I would die

In my sleep
I had it my way
Selling me
I believe

And it tests me out
Tests me out
'cause you're bottled up inside
It tests me out
Tests me out
And a little of me dies

How does it feel when you take my life
Look in my eyes and then you tell me lies
How does it feel you used to be my friend
You win twice
I lose it all again

I love to dream
Along the skyline
And feel the rain
Pleases my pain

I see the light
But it burns through my eyes
I'm waiting stressed
Just like this stressed

And it tests me out
Tests me out
'cause you're bottled up inside
It tests me out
Tests me out
And a little of me dies

How does it feel when you take my life
Look in my eyes and then you tell me lies
How does it feel you used to be my friend
You win twice
I lose it all again
I lose it all again
(I lose it all again)
(Let you tell me lies)

Symmetry lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

Ohh tell me something that I don't know
Is there a truth you try to hide
You can let follow you home
Do you hold on tightly
Or just let it go?
Would you sale all a moment breath
The pay for what you owe

My conscience is broken
This black hole is open
Is pullen me past upon and no return
Tell me I'm not the only one
Feeling this lonely now
Lord I need to now...

Does your heart bleed like mine?
With each beat pumping at a time
Is something burning deep down inside
Can find the fire we can undo
The symmetry of me and you

OHHHOOO

When you look me in the eyes
Do you see a stranger smile
Or a face that you recognize
And does your body feel out of place
And all this thoughts you can't control
And you now that you can't explain

My conscience is broken
This black hole is open
Is pullen me past upon and no return
Tell me am I the only one
Feeling this lonely now
Lord I need to now...

Does your heart bleed like mine?
With each beat pumping at a time
Is something burning deep down inside
Can find the fire we can undo
The symmetry of me and you

Only you and me never can we break free
You now where I'll be... close to you
Only you and me never can we break free
You now where I'll be... close to you
Close to you

Lord I need to now...

Does your heart bleed like mine?
With each beat pumping at a time
Is something burning deep down inside
Can find the fire we can undo
The symmetry of me and you

Only you and me never can we break free
You now where I'll be... close to you
Only you and me never can we break free
Can find the fire we can undo
The symmetry of me and you

Sweeter In History lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

It all looked so good in your memory
But it didn’t taste as sweet as it was meant to be
How did I end up caught between two cities?

Heaven knows that now I’m so out of touch
Lost in time need to find, wanna feel that rush
Still hear your whisper in my ear Like you did before

[Chorus:]
Oh, I heard you didn't get what you came for, baby
I heard it wasn't all you thought it would be
Time is a healer, but sometimes, baby
Some things are sweeter in history,
Sweeter in history

Lord knows I tried but I can’t let go
Stuck hanging on to something that we used to know
You never wake the dead while they’re sleeping

You show up thinking we can pick up where we left before
I hate to tell you this but only ghosts can walk through walls
Wishful thinking never took you where you need to go

[repeat chorus]

Oh there’s a reason why I locked you away
Because I’m trying to keep the memory the same
Too good to be true, I knew
I don’t know what you're hoping to find
Oh, did you think that I'd just fall into line
With your perfect design
And everything would just be how it used to be?

Sweeter in history [x4]

Don't Look Back lyrics Gabriella Cilmi

One more time
Maybe we could make it one more night
Cause I can’t see light
When your shadow’s always by my side
All those lies,
I’ve tried to read between your lines
But they all get burned
When I’m hanging on you every word

So do we say goodbye
Or leave it all behind
Or give it one more try maybe one more time

Have the curtains closed?
Have we lost control?
I guess it’s getting old and we should let it go

So we don’t look back
The clocks are going forward and we can’t change that
So we don’t look back
We’ve had our piece of heaven and we can’t go back

When ice breaks through
I know its gonna hurt to be close to you
But I’ll take the fall
Even though I know my heart wants more

So do we say goodbye
Or leave it all behind
Or give it one more try maybe one more time

Have the curtains closed?
Have we lost control?
I guess it getting old and we should let it go

So we don’t look back
The clocks are going forward and we can’t change that
So we don’t look back
We’ve had our piece of heaven and we can’t go back

Not Sorry lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

I see daggers in your eyes
I guess I'm not surprised
That fast fall from grace
left my body paralyzed
Got nothing left to loose
If you're looking for some truth
Have you realized what you need
I can't provide for you

I can tell you're not sorry this time
Every thought like a knife
Every word takes your life
I can tell you're not sorry this time
Every touch you black out
Every kiss takes you down

Gave you everything I got
But that wasn't enough
You used to be polite said
I used up all my trust
So no matter how I feel
The glass about to spill
Your smoke up in my face
I think I need you still

You put a smile across my face
Then you tore it apart
You put a smile across my face
Then you tore it apart

I can tell you're not sorry this time
Every thought like a knife
Every word takes your life
I can tell you're not sorry this time
Every touch you black out
Every kiss takes you down
[x2]

Here I am lingering like a feather in the wind
Come over to my side take a minute to be kind
I heard it's a sin to leave somebody dangling
Come over to my side take a minute to be kind

You put a smile across my face
Then you tore it apart
You put a smile across my face
Then you tore it apart

I can tell you're not sorry this time
Every thought like a knife
Every word takes your life
I can tell you're not sorry this time
Every touch you black out
Every kiss takes you down

Left With Someone Else lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

I sold my soul for a two mile ride
A passenger with no alibi
Half way gone and I realized
I sold my soul for some fucked up guy

He left with someone else
With my lipstick on his coat
He left with someone else
and took my body from its bones
Said it was alright
was only for a night
Now send a word back home
To prove I’m gone

Was so quiet then he came around
I bet my heart on something loud
They always knew were I’d be found
So I sold my soul to his world of doubt

He left with someone else
With my lipstick on his coat
He left with someone else
and took my body from its bones
Said it was alright
was only for a night
Now send a word back home
To prove I’m gone

And you’ll always find another maybe
If you're looking with a restless eye
You can find another lover baby
If you're looking for waste of time
When someone makes you happy
And wants to give it all to you
You’ll always feel you're missing something

It will never enough until

Until you’ve left with someone else
And put your lipstick on his coat
You’ve left with someone else
and took his body from its bones
Said it was alright
was only for a night
Now send a word back home
To prove you're gone

The Sting lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

Lend some sugar to your neighbor
Do a girl a favor
I might return it later
I'm salt
It's really not my fault
My heart's on my t-shirt
Maybe you could keep it

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

One, open your heart fly [?]
Two, never retreat see
Three, go miss a long time
Four, I will be dreaming

I, I just wanted something sweet
And nothing in my kitchen
So I had to look for something
So I took the road less traveled in
A world so appetizing
I had to lick the icing

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

Why do good things happen to bad bad people
Why do bad things happen to good good people
Why do good things happen to bad bad people
Why do bad things happen to good good people

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me

If the devil were a woman
I wouldn't have to run away
If the devil were a woman
Maybe she'd understand me
Maybe she'd understand me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still following me

All of my life
I've been running from the sting
Stole the honey from the hive
And the bee's still, bee's still following me
All of my life
I've been running, I've been running

The bee's still following me
(All of my life
I've been running)
And the bee's still following me
And the bee's still, the bee's still following me

Vicious Love lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

You came 'round like a thief in the night
I knew that you'd come 'round sometime
Come inside lift me from abyss
I can feel my heartbeat pumpin' in your kiss
Strugglin' to breathe between the waves
You make my body feel all kinds of pain
After all we've been through, we done set aside
Our differences are putted behind us

Holdin' on, sinkin' deep,
In vicious love, you give to me
Holdin' on, endlessly
For vicious love, you give to me

You came 'round like a thief in the night
I knew that you'd come 'round sometime
Dropped in soul, let me take on kiss
Actin like a Phoenix preyin' on a fish
Silently deluded, stronger in a mind
Together we're unhealthy, together it's right
After all we've been through, we done set aside
Our differences are putted behind us

Holdin' on, sinkin' deep,
In vicious love, you give to me
Holdin' on, endlessly
For vicious love, you give to me, me

Hearing heavy voices ringing in my ear
Steady, steady, I don't wanna break again
And I hold them close to every inch of my body
Oh oh

Hearing heavy voices ringing in my ear
Steady, steady, I don't wanna break again
And I hold them close to every inch of my body
And here we go again

So come with me, we can't be wrong
Your vicious love, helps me carry on

Feels like a headrush, then it all goes cold
Feels like a headrush

Every Memory lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

You, you were always like my second skin
Now I can't stop the seams from tearing

Black flowers bloom
I think of you always the same
When you're out of touch
Those petals cut
Like razor blades

Don't leave cause my hearts still open
Bleeding on my blue sleeve
And the sun is burning every memory

Slow shadows in the early morning glow
And I can feel my whole world falling

Black flowers bloom
This living room
Brings back my pain
Just one little touch
Those petals cut
Like razorblades

Don't leave cause my hearts still open
Bleeding on my blue sleeve
And the sun is burning every memory
[x 2]

And it goes out the window
Everything that I should know
Mother nature's so unkind
When you're in her firing line
So you left out the window
Gone away where the wind blows
Mother nature's so unkind
Cause you're not coming back this time

Don't leave cause my hearts still open
Bleeding on my blue sleeve
And the sun is burning every memory
[x 2]

I Am Just A Girl lyrics - Gabriela Cilmi

You should let me be the one
To be your cover when you run
You should let me be the one
When your odds are 100 to none

Before you leave this time
Please shut the door behind
I have your back
You just relax
Count back the time

Until the midnight sun
I'll wait for you to come
I have your back
You just relax
And don't think twice

I am just a girl who's
Kind enough to love you
I don't mean to hurt you

You should let me be the one
To keep the heavens high above
Let me be the one you trust
With your heart and a loaded gun

Before you leave this time
Please shut the door behind
I have your back
You just relax
Count back the time

Until the midnight sun
I'll wait for you to come
I have your back
You just relax
And don't think twice

I am just a girl who's
Kind enough to love you
I don't mean to hurt you

I am just a girl whose
Shadow's in your bedroom
You should let me love you

I turned heaven down,
So I'd be around,
I'd stick around for you
I turned heaven down,
Put money down,
Put down my life for you
[x 2]

Before you leave this time
Please shut the door behind
I have your back
You just relax
Count back the time

Until the midnight sun
I'll wait for you to come
I have your back
You just relax
And don't think twice

I am just a girl who's
Kind enough to love you
I don't mean to hurt you

I am just a girl whose
Shadow's in your bedroom
You should let me love you

Parallel Universe lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

The scenery's killing me this wasn't supposed to be like this
Out of all the right words to say you had to pick the wrong ones
Now I'm sitting here trying to pick up all the pieces that we dropped
On a parallel universe I would have said it first

On a parallel universe I'd do it differently
Like a carousel in reverse you'd come back to me

I can still picture you standing in front of me laughing
Whenever I tried to say what's on my mind
On a parallel universe I would have said it first

On a parallel universe I'd do it differently
Like a carousel in reverse you'd come back to me
If all of my thoughts meant nothing at all
Would you spare me a thought, would you spare me at all
Do I keep on letting you down

On a parallel universe I'd do it differently
Like a carousel in reverse you'd come back to me
If all of my thoughts meant nothing at all
Would you spare me a thought, would you spare me at all
Do I keep on letting you down

Kill Ourselves lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

Back then there was one, now that there is none
You can't sink lower down
Mountains don't just fall because you want it all

Put that all to bed, paradise in your head
Ain't as good in the flesh and if you got your turn
You probably would have run out, run out

You can't change what's happened when it happens to you
Be careful what you wish for cause it just might come true
Can't you see, you and me, we just kill ourselves sometimes

Since the beginning, we've been murdering, the killing kind never miss
Shoot one down again when the world waltzes in

You can't change what's happened when it happens to you
Be careful what you wish for cause it just might come true
Can't you see, you and me, we just kill ourselves sometimes

Where there's happiness accidents can happen
There aint nothing that you can do about
Cross your fingers and hope that someone else's luck has run out

You can't change what's happened when it happens to you
Be careful what you wish for cause it just might come true
Can't you see, you and me, we just kill ourselves sometimes

"Ten" (2010)

On A Mission lyrics - Gabriella Cilmi

It’s tough for me to make a move
And I know what I gotta do
Cause I got everything to prove
I got a plan I’m sticking to

The word is that I’m over doubt
But I don’t let it get me down
I ain’t nobody’s push around
If they could only see me now

There’s only one thing on my mind
And I am running out of time
I’m coming through, so get out of the way

I am a woman on a mission whoa
Nothing can stop me, I’m stronger than ever
I’m gunna see this through
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do

I’m gunna lay it on the line
I won’t give up without a fight
Cos I can see the finish line
Wont stop until I think your mine

So read the writing on the wall
I’m ready and I’m standing tall
Some people think they know it all,
I guess I’ll have to show ‘em all

There’s only one thing on my mind
And I am running out of time
I’m coming through, so get out of the way

I am a woman on a mission whoa
Nothing can stop me, I’m stronger than ever
I’m gunna see this through
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do

Stand aside cos I’m on a mission
I’m on fire, there’s no competition.
You can’t blame me I got intuition
And I never miss a trick just like a magician

You don’t need cash, you don’t need permission,
If you think I’m scared, you must be tripping.
Foot on gas, Key in ignition,
Can’t stop now cos I’m on a mission

I am a woman on a mission whoa
Nothing can stop me, I’m stronger than ever
I’m gunna see this through
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta

I never give up, I never give up, I never give up
I’m on a mission
I never give up, I never give up,
I’m gunna see this through

I never give up, I never give up, I never give up
I’m on a mission
Whatever it takes, I will do what I gotta do.
