Empire lyrics - Matt Cardle

Losing love, losing my faith,

The only thing she left me was all of my mistakes

The hardest time, the darkest place

Through a crack in the window, I see your face

Shining, golden

Oh my love, you lift me up, oh my love

You come along and you fill my heart

Replace my faith

With a blinding light from a perfect place

And with all the love, all the love, all the love,

Is more than enough, to build an empire

Build an empire

Heal these eyes, they’ve seen too much

I’m burned out and broken, come and lift me up

Get me out of here, take me away

All that I have left, is a heart that needs to be saved

Shining, golden

Oh my love, you lift me up, oh my love

You come along and you fill my heart

Replace my faith

With a blinding light from a perfect place

And with all the love, all the love, all the love,

Is more than enough, to build an empire

Build an empire

Losing my heart, losing my faith, losing myself, now I’m unafraid

In your light I find myself again

Oh my love, you lift me up, oh my love

You come along and you fill my heart

Replace my faith

With a blinding light from a perfect place

And with all the love, all the love, all the love,

Is more than enough, to build an empire

Build an empire

All That Matters lyrics - Matt Cardle

If you leave my life

Drown my head

I will understand

I'm a breaking man

Wont you read my mind

Hear my plans

Then you'd understand

You'd understand

But I don't need to tell you

Cause you already know

You can be yourself baby

But I just pray someday you'll find everything you need

Believe me

I just pray somebody loves you

Somebody somewhere

Cause I can't hear you cry

Not one second more

It's killing me

I just pray somebody loves you

Somebody somewhere

It's not the only thing that matters to me

The only thing that matters at all

I just pray somebody loves you

Somebody somewhere

It's not the only thing that matters to me

The only thing that matters at all

Lately lyrics - Matt Cardle

Too long staring at the same page

Through love and through rage

I wanna run, I wanna stay the same

Get loose, get lucky, get laid

We have dreams, they fade

I wanna run, I wanna stay the same

Lately, it won’t come together, it won’t come together

But my baby, it’s gonna get better, it’s gonna get better

Too long putting on a brave face, but

inside we can’t change

I wanna run, I wanna stay the same

Stand down, know your place

A bitter pill I won’t taste

I wanna run, I wanna stay the same

Lately, it won’t come together, it won’t come together

But my baby, it’s gonna get better, it’s gonna get better

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics - Matt Cardle

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun, rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars, were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth, move in my hands

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

The first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

The first time, ever I saw your face,

your face, your face, your face

It's Only Love (Acoustic) lyrics - Matt Cardle

It's a kick in the head so close your eyes

Some say it's dead, but we're alive

And it has no use anymore

It's a losing game that I won't play

I know full well, it isn't here to stay

It has no use anymore

Just get a hold of your heart and set it on fire

You don't need it now, you'll be alright cause

Did you think it would hold you?

Did you think it would carry you?

Did you think it would save you?

Did you think it would see you through?

It's only love, it's only love

Don't let it push you to your knees

You don't have to fall, lean on me

It has no use anymore

Just get a hold of your heart and set it on fire

You don't need it now, you'll be alright 'cause

Did you think it would hold you?

Did you think it would carry you?

Did you think it would save you?

Did you think it would see you through?

It's only love, it's only love

Did you think it would hold you?

Did you think it would carry you?

Did you think it would save you?

Did you think it would see you through?

It's only love, it's only love

It won't hold you

It won't carry you

It won't save you

It won't see you through

It's only love, it's only love

Did you think it would hold you?

Did you think it would carry you?

Did you think it would save you?

Did you think it would see you through?

It's only love, it's only love

It's only love, it's only love

Millionaire lyrics - Matt Cardle

You’ve taken all we ever had

We’ll never get it back

Traded love for something else

Something I guess I didn’t have

You can dream in gold

But you’ll wake up penniless

Just because I’m broke

And you have my heart in a million pieces

Doesn’t make you a millionaire

You sold out, your cashing in

Oh you silly girl

And one day you’ll realise

I could have given you the world

You can dream in gold

But you’ll wake up penniless

Just because I’m broke

And you have my heart in a million pieces,

doesn’t make you a millionaire

And just because your gone

And you say I gave you a million reasons

Doesn’t make you a millionaire

If you come back down

Don’t be afraid to fall

And if you leave, promise me

You won’t take it all

You won’t take it all

You got a million pieces

But your no millionaire

Hanging From Your Hearts lyrics - Matt Cardle

Baby you can say, you’re happy

And you’ve landed on your feet

But your still falling

And it isn’t gravity

It’s me, hanging from your heartstrings

I know every time I’m calling

You just sit and watch it ring

Cause your not ready

To hear everything

Untie me, come cut me down

Cause I can’t breath

Hanging from your heartstrings

If you can’t hear me

And you won’t see me

Then you’ll never, never know

Oh you’ll never never know

That I’m dyin’ slowly

On my hearts last beats

Oh but I know I know

Oh yeah I know, I know

That you’ll find me

Oh dead or alive

You will find me

Hanging from your heartstrings

Come on cut me down

Your still falling,

And it isn’t gravity

It’s me, oh it’s me

You're Somebody lyrics - Matt Cardle

I was blessed

With an angel

But I kicked her to the floor

And it makes no sense

Little angel

Can I get you back once more

It’s chewing on my heart again

Make it stop, let’s start again

If I could be somebody else

I’d be somebody you love

Give you every little bit of my heart

Stitch you where you’re coming apart

Cause you’re somebody I love

Cause you’re somebody to me

But never was it ever enough

I just wrapped my chops around the fact that, oh

Your somebody ain’t me

I’m a tidy mess

Been a bad dog

Now I’m scratching at the door

Hell, give me house arrest

Train this animal

Teach me how to hide the claws

It’s chewing on my heart again

Make it stop, let’s start again

If I could be somebody else

I’d be somebody you love

Give you every little bit of my heart

Stitch you where you’re coming apart

Cause you’re somebody I love

Cause you’re somebody to me

But never was it ever enough

I just wrapped my chops around the fact that, oh

Your somebody ain’t me

Starlight lyrics - Matt Cardle

Hearts are racing at the speed of light

Eyes are opening and rolling right

Sinking feeling it’s almost like

It wouldn’t matter if we died tonight

We are beautiful

Breakable

We’re gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky

Like a shooting star, it’s just who we are

Pushin', pushin', pullin', movin' on

A sense of freedom we’ve been hanging on

I’ve cut the chord and now it won’t be long

Before we find out where it’s coming from

We are beautiful

Breakable

We’re gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky

Like a shooting star, it’s just who we are

We are beautiful

Breakable

We’re gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky

Like a shooting star, it’s just who we are

Run For Your Life lyrics - Matt Cardle

You need somebody who likes themself

Who lives for life and never calls for help

You need somebody to walk you back

Someone who loves you too before you ask

You’re worth more, you’re worth more than this

You can take a leap without the risk

There’s no time, there’s no time for this

Take your love and start again

So run for your life, run for your life

If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

You need someone who can stand alone

Who finds the way, instead of being shown

Somebody with confidence

Who's strong enough to be hit more than once

You'll find more, you'll find more than this

Take the world that's at your fingertips

Don't waste time, don't waste time with this

Take your love and start again

So run for your life, run for your life

If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

Run, run and don't look back again

Run, run, one day you'll understand

I'm not, no, I'm not who you think I am

So run for your life (run and don't look back again, run and don't look back again)

Run for your life (one day you'll understand, one day you'll understand)

If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

Run for your life, run for your life

If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

All For Nothing lyrics - Matt Cardle

Use your eyes, oh father

'Cause I had a dream last night

I saw her body broke, still and cold where she lay

And it was all for nothing

This love I gave

And I pray you keep her safe

Bring her home, keep harm away

And I pray, don’t let me down

Bring her back 'cause I need her now

I pray, someone else can take her place

Don’t make it all for nothing

This love we made

She’s my best friend, oh mother

No other woman could turn my eye, drag me away

With the blessing comes the worry, and I worry

Don’t make it all for nothing

The love we made

And I pray you keep her safe

Bring her home, keep harm away

And I pray, don’t let me down

Bring her back 'cause I need her now

I pray, someone else can take her place

Don’t make it all for nothing

This love we made

Falling in love is like playing with fire

Pulling me down but it’s takin’ me higher

I know it’s my fault and I’m asking for favours

I needed a knife but you gave me the razor

I pray you keep her safe

Bring her home, keep harm away

And I pray, don’t let me down

Bring her back 'cause I need her now

I pray, someone else can take her place

Don’t make it all for nothing

This love we made

Don’t make it all for nothing

This love we made

Pull Me Under lyrics - Matt Cardle

Truth, dares, girls for which I never really cared

Affairs to forget

A search for ends that never really met

If I could only find this feeling

And find a love beyond this dream

It’s never been so clear that

I need someone to pull me under

I need someone, I start to wonder

Will I ever stop skipping like a stone

My heart keeps skipping like a stone

On the calmest river keep on

And I’ll never break the surface

‘Till it feels like home

Truth, dares, lust, affairs, girls for which I never cared

Success, deceit, lies, defeat making ends that never meet

I’ve been found, lost, paid the cost, a skipping stone that gathered moss

Trying to keep my heart above the water

If I could only find this feeling

And find a love beyond this dream

It’s never been so clear that

I need someone to pull me under

I need someone, I start to wonder

Will I ever stop skipping like a stone

My heart keeps skipping like a stone

On the calmest river keep on

And I’ll never break the surface

‘Till it feels like home

‘Till it feels like home

I need someone to pull me under

I need someone, I start to wonder

Will I ever stop skipping like a stone

My heart keeps skipping like a stone

On the calmest river keep on

And I’ll never break the surface

‘Till it feels like home

Amazing lyrics - Matt Cardle

I had to look inside

This fragile heart of mine

To find exactly what it was you saw

I had to put myself back in the firing line

To take the shot that knocked me to the floor

I was down, losing faith, oh I was lost in the crowd

You brought me round

How did you find me?

You came out of nowhere like lightening

It’s kind of amazing how you found me

Through all the noise somehow

I was pulling empty pales

Out of the wishing well

Only holy water breaks the spell

I had to pinch myself

‘Cause I knew all too well

The stairway to heaven oh it starts in hell

I was down, but somehow an angel heard my sound

And brought me round

How did you find me?

You came out of nowhere like lightening

It’s kind of amazing how you found me

Through all the noise somehow

How did you see me?

Broke through the darkness and you reached me

It’s kind of amazing how you found me

Through all the strangers somehow

Faith and a little patience for this heart of mine

Though I would stay here waiting for the end of time

How did you find me?

You came out of nowhere like lightening

It’s kind of amazing how you found me

Through all the noise somehow

How did you see me?

Broke through the darkness and you reached me

It’s kind of amazing how you found me

Through all the strangers somehow

Through all the strangers somehow, somehow

Faithless lyrics - Matt Cardle

Here tonight and gone tomorrow

Now I’m coming back down again

The truths a bitter pill to swallow

Did I really mean all the things I’d said?

I guess I never realised, that the story had three sides

I guess I never realised, till I saw you in the sunlight

And you leave me falling

Faithless, we’ve taken it too far

The guilt weighs heavy on my heart

What they don’t know still hurts somehow

And is running away with my conscience now

Love I shouldn’t have let you down

The moment lay a path to follow

And I took it all the way

I stole, I lied, I begged and borrowed

Don’t let it come round again

I guess I never realised, that the story had three sides

I guess I never realised, till I saw you in the sunlight

And you leave me falling

Faithless, we’ve taken it too far

The guilt weighs heavy on my heart

What they don’t know still hurts somehow

And is running away with my conscience now

Love I shouldn’t have let you down

All the bridges that I burned

All the lessons that I've learned

All the tables that I turned

Have left me falling

Faithless, we’ve taken it too far

The guilt weighs heavy on my heart

What they don’t know still hurts somehow

And is running away with my conscience now

Love I shouldn’t have let you down

I’m faithless, we’ve taken it too far

The guilt weighs heavy on my heart

What they don’t know, it hurts somehow

Running away with my conscience now

Love I shouldn’t have let you down

Beat Of A Breaking Heart lyrics - Matt Cardle

Forgive my heart, forgive my mind

They don’t understand

That I have no reason to lie

Could run but there’s nowhere to hide

Take me as I am

I can hear

The beat of a breaking heart

Soaking in tears but this time I’ve gone too far

I need your soul, I need your grace

'Cause you see through my disguise

I still got your taste in my mouth

I still feel your hands on my skin

And as I close my eyes

I can hear

The beat of a breaking heart

Soaking in tears but this time I’ve gone too far

And maybe tonight

I’ll fight not to fall apart

How are we here when it’s just the start?

[x2]

Stars & Lovers lyrics - Matt Cardle

If all the tears could drown a fire

The stars would fall and time would stop

If I could reach a little higher

If Jupiter was close enough, ohh

I lost my place, I found the answer

I heard it on, the radio

If I return and take my chances

If only I could let her know

My heart is open and the skies on fire

I hear the drum and, I hear the choir

The universe it was made for us and

Oh oh, the stars and the lovers

A universe, made for us and

Oh oh, the stars and the lovers

So let go, hold onto each other

If I could run a million hours

And hold the oceans, in my hands

If I could have one superpower

It would be to make you understand

My heart is open and the skies on fire

I hear the drum and, I hear the choir

The universe it was made for us and

Oh oh, the stars and the lovers

A universe, made for us and

Oh oh, the stars and the lovers

So let go, hold onto each other

I lost my place, I found the answer

I heard it on, the radio

If only I could let her know

My heart is open and the skies on fire

I hear the drum and, I hear the choir

The universe it was made for us and

Oh oh, the stars and the lovers

A universe, made for us and

Oh oh, the stars and the lovers

So let go, hold onto each other

So let go, hold onto each other

Letters lyrics - Matt Cardle

Send a message, to my heart

Tell it everything, from the start

Make it honest, make it true

It’s the only way, we’ll see it through

Send them all, the letters

Fit them all, together

Set in stone, forever

Make it whole, and never

Tell a soul, endeavour

To be told

Send a message, to my heart

Send a message to my heart

With every beat I hear it speaking loud and clear

Send a message to my heart

Break it gently, or break me down

Don’t say anything, don’t make a sound

Actions, although they hurt

It’s the feelings, that really burn

Send them all, the letters

Fit them all, together

Set in stone, forever

Make it whole, and never

Tell a soul, endeavour

To be told

Send a message, to my heart

Send a message to my heart

With every beat I hear it speaking loud and clear

Send a message to my heart

Send them all, the letters

Fit them all, together

Set in stone, forever

Make it whole, and never

Tell a soul, endeavour

To be told

Send a message to my heart

Send a message to my heart

Send a message to my heart

Send a message to my heart

Reflections lyrics - Matt Cardle

Flickin’ channels in my hotel room

On a trip I always thought I’d take with you

My heart was lifted by a telephone ring

I thought you’d changed your mind

And say it's true

If only, if only

I’d seized the moment when you loved me

You’d be here with me

Reflections of a wasted love

You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s given up

I had to lose you to learn

You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s gone

Never thought that you’d have gone this far

Guessed I’d always have just one more chance

I never thought that you could break my heart

If only I could change our circumstance

If only, if only

I’d seized the moment when you loved me

You’d be here with me

Reflections of a wasted love

You don’t know what you’ve got until she’s given up

I had to lose you to learn

The clock's been tickin’, the clock's been tickin’

You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s gone

Maybe it's all too late, 

(If you're never gonna tell me why, then I’m never gonna say goodbye)

Maybe it’s all too late, 

(If you're never gonna tell me why, then I’m never gonna say goodbye)

Reflections of a wasted love

You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s given up

I had to lose you to learn

You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s given up

Reflections of a wasted love

'Cause the clock's been tickin’, the clock's been tickin’

You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s gone

Walking On Water lyrics - Matt Cardle

Don’t say it’s over
Don’t breathe a word
How was I so oblivious?
I didn’t see how we got so deep down

When we were walking on water for so long
I didn’t notice the waves crashing over
I thought we were sailing somewhere
When did we start going under?

Now I see your colours
And now I hear your truths
I need something to pull us outta here
If we could get back up to the surface
Tell me could it be

Like we were walking on water for so long
I didn’t notice the waves crashing over
I thought we were sailing somewhere
When did we start going under, under?

'Cause you made me wanna fight
'Cause I found something to believe in
You made me who I am
And it’s so hard to see how
We’re so deep down

When we were walking on water for so long
I didn’t notice the waves crashing over
I thought we were sailing somewhere
When did we start going under?

Slowly lyrics - Matt Cardle

Saw your face, turned away
Never gave a second thought, never looked at you that way
Searching for, someone else
I didn’t hear the fireworks, we were dancing with ourselves
And then you come close and knock me out, oh

Slowly, slowly, changing me slowly
Driving with your heart, kissing in the dark
The way you hold me, hold me, turn with me slowly
This is where it starts, kissing in the dark

You’re a thorn, in my soul
That cuts at first but now I’m feeling something wonderful
More fool me, to let you drive
You can push me all you want but I’ll fall when I decide
But then you come close and knock me out, oh

Slowly, slowly, changing me slowly
Driving with your heart, kissing in the dark
The way you hold me, hold me, turn with me slowly
This is where it starts, kissing in the dark

It makes me shiver, that I could have missed you
It makes me shiver, that I could have missed you

Slowly, slowly, changing me slowly
Driving with your heart, kissing in the dark
The way you hold me, hold me, turn with me slowly
This is where it starts, kissing in the dark

When We Collide lyrics - Matt Cardle

You say "I love you boy"

But I know you lie.

I trust you all the same

And I don't know why.

'Cause when my back is turned,

My bruises shine.

Our broken fairytale,

So hard to hide.

I still believe,

It's you and me 

till the end of time.

When we collide we come together,

If we don't, we'll always be apart.

I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it.

When you hit me, hit me hard.

Sitting in a wishing hole,

Hoping it stays right.

Feet cast in solid stone,

I got Gilligan's eyes.

I still believe,

It's you and me 

till the end of time.

When we collide we come together,

If we don't, we'll always be apart.

I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it.

When you hit me, hit me hard.

'Cause you said hello,

It's where the going get's hard,

Our future is far,

Many of horror

Our future's far,

Many of horror

Our future is far,

Many of horror

I still believe,

It's you and me 

till the end of time.

When we collide we come together,

If we don't we'll always be apart.

I'll take a bruise i know you're worth it.

When you hit me, hit me hard.

Sparks lyrics - Matt Cardle

Oh come on little angle take this chance

Oh come on take a risk on what we have

oh come on come on let me clip your wings

I'll walk you to the place you dare to dream

I'm ready to know to be on your side

I'm ready to know

Show me a place where I can start

Show me the way into your heart

Just another face in the dark

Another lost in the shadows

Too much heartbreak in the past

Too many things that never last 

Babe I gotta hope but it's fading last

I've got my heart in trouble

But I'm giving it all

Oh come on come let me take your lead

Don't be afraid to make a move on me

i'll show you how a love is meant to be

Oh you don't need your wings to set you free

I'm ready to know to be on your side

Show me a place where I can start

Show me the way into your heart

Just another face in the dark

Another lost in the shadows

Too much heartbreak in the past

Too many things that never last

Babe I gotta hope but it's fading last

I've got my heart in trouble

But I'm giving it all

Oh won't you take me with you up, it's a beautiful

Light

You could be the one to save my soul tonight

Let our sparks ignite

Show me a place where I can start

Show me the way into your heart

Just another face in the dark

Another lost in the shadows

too much heartbreak in the past

Too many things that never last

Babe I gotta hope but it's fading fast

I've got my heart in trouble

But I'm giving it all 

Let our sparks ignite [x2]
