Duffy - I’m scared

The blank pages of my diary
That I haven’t touched since you left me
The closed blinds in my home
See no light of day
Dust gathers on my stereo
Cos I can’t bare to hear the radio
The piano sits in a shaded space
With a picture of your face

I’m scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won’t go away
In an instant, you were gone and I’m scared

Coffee stains on your favorite book
Remind me of you so I can’t even look
The magazines you left on the floor
You won’t need them anymore

A towel left hangin on the wall
No sign of wet foosteps in the hall
There’s no smell of your sweet cologne
I’m lying here alone

I’m scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won’t go away
In an instant, you were gone and now I’m scared

I’m scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won’t go away
In an instant, you were gone, now I’m scared
In an instant you were gone and I’m scared

Duffy - Hanging on too long

It was just my mistake
Thinking you cared
It was just my mistake
Thinking you’d be there
That you’d be by my side
And that you wouldn’t lie
My mistake

It was just my false hope
Thinking we’d last, yeah
It was just my false hope
Forgot all your pests
All those girls you denied
Smashed up hearts hung out to dry

I know it’s wrong
Hanging on too long
I know it’s wrong
Hanging on too long
But I beat ‘em all
Hanging on too long

I was a fool for you
Right from the start, yeah
I was a fool for you
Hoping for a spark
For some kind of sign
That you would be mine

I know it’s wrong, I do
Hanging on too long
And I know it’s wrong
Hanging on too long

My heart was clutching
To one fair right
My head was pumping
It could put up a fight

I know it’s wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it’s wrong
Hanging on too long
And I need to move on
I’m hanging on too long

I know it’s wrong
Hanging on too long
And I know it’s wrong
Hanging on too long

Duffy - Distant dreamer

Although you think I cope
my head is filled with hope…
of some place other than here

Although you think I smile
inside all the while…
I’m wondering about my destiny

I’m thinking about
all the things
I’d like to do in my life

I’m a dreamer
a distant dreamer
dreaming for hope, from today

Even when you see me frown
my heart won’t let me down
because I know there’s better things to come

And when life gets tough
I feel I’ve had enough
I hold on to a distant star

I’m thinking about
all the things
I’d like to do in my life…

I’m a dreamer
A distant dreamer
dreaming for hope from today

I’m a dreamer
A distant dreamer
dreaming for hope from today

Yeah, I’m a dreamer

I’m a dreamer
a distant dreamer
dreaming for hope from today

Yeah I’m a dreamer…

I’m a dreamer

Duffy - Delayed

It seems you wanna give me
Oh, a life time of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you, babe, I watch you plead

But your words come much too late
My love for you has turned to hate
‘Cause you’ve taken too much time
To show me that you’re mine

When I drop you boy
You’ll need another toy
One that won’t stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You’ll need another town
Where somebody’s gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
Now it’s too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion

You try to convince me
Oh, about the possibilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity

‘Cause your actions speak nothing no more
When it’s what I’ve been waiting for
‘Cause you’ve taken too much time
To show me that you’re mine

When I drop you boy
You’ll need another toy
One that won’t stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You’ll need another town
Where somebody’s gonna talk to you
‘Cause you just let me wait
Now it’s too late
For your delayed devotion

You played me for a fool for too long
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all
I’m no longer under your spell
Hear it in a song
You can go to Hell

When I drop you boy
You’ll need another toy
One that won’t stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You’ll need another town
Where somebody’s gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
And now its too late
For your delayed, delayed emotion

Duffy - Mercy

I love you
but I gotta stay true
my morals got me on my knees
I’m begging please stop playing games

I don’t know what this is
‘cos you got me good
just like you knew you would

I don’t know what you do
but you do it well
I’m under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
why won’t you release me
you got me begging you for mercy
why won’t you release me
I said release me

Now you think that I
will be something on the side
but you got to understand
that I need a man
who can take my hand

Yes I do

I don’t know what this is
but you got me good
just like you knew you would

I don’t know what you do
but you do it well
I’m under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
why wont you release me
you got me begging you for mercy
why wont you release me
I said you’d better release

I’m begging you for mercy
yes why wont you release me
I’m begging you for mercy

You got me begging
you got me begging
you got me begging

Mercy, why wont you release me
I’m begging you for mercy
why wont you release me

You got me begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy

Why wont you release me
break it down
