Water lyrics - Matt Cardle

Snow fall on the tree tops, the streets are bare
Bright lights in the windows, and up the stairs
All of your silence, and all of your songs
I still hear the choir, but you are gone

Can’t go back
Can’t fight this

Water, water
Teardrops are falling like rain
Brother, daughter
Still I hear you calling my name
Oh, I see your light
In the water, for all my life

Walking on a tight rope
Coming undone
‘Cos you were my hero
When I was young
We live but we never know
Were lost in the wind
A million candles just flickering
Can’t go back, can’t fight this

Water, water
Teardrops are falling like rain
Brother, daughter
Still I hear you calling my name
Oh, I see your light
In the water, for all my life

Oh, lifted high
Let me lay down at your side
Here I stay
Until your soul comes back to mine

Water, water
Teardrops are falling like rain
Brother, daughter
Still I hear you calling my name
Oh, I see your light
In the water, for all my life

Anywhere lyrics - Matt Cardle

I’ve been sleeping, with both eyes wide open
I’ve been waiting for a moment like this
Painted these faces, over and over,
Seen these same places, so many times before
Just leaves me wanting more, now I’m standing at your door

All the fears, wasted years, pay no mind to it,
Now it’s clear, Now I’m here,
For all the time that I used to care
Now I’m anyone, anywhere

I want love, I want freedom,
I wrote the books but I don’t read them at all
When the writings on the wall

All the fears, wasted years, pay no mind to it,
Now it’s clear, Now I’m here,
For all the time that I used to care
Now I’m anyone, anywhere

Whatever you want to feel, it’s alright
You’re whoever you want to be here tonight

All the fears, wasted years, pay no mind to it,
Now it’s clear, Now I’m here,
For all the time that I used to care
Now I’m anyone, anywhere

Anyone Else lyrics - Matt Cardle

Get up I’m ready baby, for a little more if you’re feeling it
On top go steady baby, are you ready, are you ready,
I know you’re not my lady, oh but I don’t care ‘cos I’m feelin’ it
I know it’s pretty crazy but I want it and you want it

I can’t stand to be with anyone else
Can’t stand it
Can’t stand it

To make a little love to you was all I ever really needed
I don’t wanna * these girls they only bring me down
I wanna look into your eyes and find a way to stay forever, forever
‘Cos I can’t stand to be with anyone else

Get up, get out now baby
You’re not the one I’m not feeling it
You don’t swing the way she swayed me,
Never ready, never ready
To put it pretty plainly, I miss the love I miss making it
I miss lying with my lady
Come and save me, come and save me

I can’t stand to be with anyone else
Can’t stand it
Can’t stand it

To make a little love to you was all I ever really needed
I don’t wanna * these girls they only bring me down
I wanna look into your eyes and find a way to stay forever, forever
‘Cos I can’t stand to be with anyone else

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

"Letters" (2011)




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
