People assumed that when I let you go I’d cry Then lock myself away behind closed doors Then, after a while I’d need the sun, I’d need some hope and recreation, for my thoughts And anyone who ever said that I was weak Would have won But when I go to sleep alone, I read and turn the lights out Then when I wake in silence Oh no, I’m never sorry I’m all out of tears, but if you wanna cry some let me know I’m all out of tears, but if you wanna cry some let me know We can put ‘em in a place, for next time But the tears will never be mine, no Some people cry cause their lover has gone Cause they’ve changed and they just wanna move on I can say that I was one of those fools Then decided I had something more to prove But when I go to sleep alone I read and turn the lights out Then when I awake in silence Oh no, I’m never sorry I’m all out of tears, but if you wanna cry some let me know I’m all out of tears, but if you wanna cry some let me know We can put ‘em in a place, for next time But the tears will never be mine To myself, to be ruthless, to be brave When I found out, tears don’t help They only make your face wet So, when I start the day again I’ll know it’s one for breakfast I will not search for you today I’m done, you were my weakness I’m all out of tears, but if you wanna cry some let me know Out of tears, but if you wanna cry some let me know We can put ‘em in a place, for next time But the tears will never be mine Yes, I’m all out of tears, but if you wanna cry some let me know We can put ‘em in a place, for next time But the tears will never be mine, no No the tears will never mine No the tears will never mine

Human 03:09
I got 10,000 friends, they live on screen I take them everywhere, and I tell them everything Love is a simple game, we’ve forgotten how to play The hands I used to hold are far too far away Human, human, clap your hands together To feel something, deep within Huma, human, come on speak to me Clap your lips together Skin on skin I enjoyed you, you enjoyed me too But pleasure is flexible, then suddenly there is greed Temptations calling me and fortune’s make believe Don’t play with me providence I make my destiny If money is the root of all evil Should it be illegal We can never rewrite history Human, human, clap your hands together And feel something, deep within Huma, human, come on speak to me Clap your lips together Skin on skin We share everything, but touch nothing We know everyone, but know no one We buy anything, without choosing We sell anything, except love Human, human, clap your hands together To feel something, from deep within Human, human, come on speak to me Clap your lips together Skin on skin Human, human, come on and speak to me Clap your lips together Skin on skin Human, human Come on speak to me Clap you lips together Skin on skin

Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Oh I can see electric in you Every time that we dance, your energy is the science Each spark is so electrically you It’s you, it’s you Tell me what will inspire you, I wanna know what makes you move Show me, your attitude, no one in this world is quite like you Quite like you, oh Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Oh I can see electric in you Every time that we dance, your energy is the science Each spark is so electrically you Your love is lightening And I plead for you I plead for you Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Each spark is so electrically you It’s you, it’s you It’s crazy, something so natural may just fade away and go unused Lately, I’ve learned the truth, let me show you something you can’t disprove That you can’t disprove, oh Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Oh I can see electric in you Every time that we dance, your energy is the science Each spark is so electrically you Your love is lightening And I plead for you I plead for you Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Each spark is electrically you Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Oh I can see electric in you Every time that we dance, your energy is the science Each spark is so electrically you Your love is lightening And I plead for you I plead for you Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Each spark is so electrically you Your love is lightening I plead for you I plead for you Start by using your heart, you will light up the dark Each spark is electrically you

Numbers 03:42
I’m fed up of asking for permission to search for more Watching as the world moves on, just waiting for my turn It’s so unfair other people rise, people fall It’s so unfair other people rise, people fall But what of all the millions more Waiting for a chance to be, more than numbers We aint always gonna add up at the same time We are battling one on one to be safe But no matter on what the score I’ll be happiest, leaving numbers at the door No more There are many true hearts and they take me to my knees Bringing down the walls, and jumping over those boundaries Don’t you tell me small helpless hands have to wait Don’t you tell me small helpless hands have to wait They were ready then, they are ready now No asking twice An no more numbers We aint always gonna add up at the same time We are battling one on one to be safe But no matter on what the score I’ll be happiest, leaving numbers at the door No more And no more numbers We aint always gonna add up at the same time We are battling one on one to be safe But no matter on what the score I’ll be happiest, leaving numbers at the door No more numbers No more
