Dido - No Angel

HERE WITH ME

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here 
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory 

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide 

I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me 
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me 

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream 
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been 

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide 
I won't go, I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me 
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me. 


HUNTER

With one light on in one room
I know you're up when I get home 
With one small step upon the stair
I know your look when I get there 
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go 

For this queen you think you own 
Wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again 
To take a chance on life again
So let me go 
The unread book and painful look
The TV's on
The sound is down 
One long pause
Then you begin
Oh look what the cat's brought in 
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go 

For this queen you think you own 
Wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again 
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
Let me leave 

For the crown you've pleace upon my head feels too heavy now 
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow 
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking 
I want to be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again 
To take a chance on life again
So let me go. 


DON'T THINK OF ME

So you're with her
And not with me
I hope she's sweet
And so pretty 
I hear she cooks delightfully
A little angel beside you 
So you're with her
And not with me
Oh how lucky one man can be 
I hear your house is smart and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen 
Oh how lovely it must be 

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me 
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me 

So you're with her
And not with me
I know she spreads sweet honey 
In your best friend
I heard he spent last night with her 
Now how do you feel 

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me 
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me 
Oh it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me 

Does it bother you now all the mess I made 
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear 
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played 
Does it bother you now when I'm not there 

When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me 
When she lats in your arms
Don't think of me 
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me 
Oh it's too late, oh it's too bad
Don't think of me. 


MY LOVER'S GONE

My lover's gone
His boots no longer by my door, 
He left at dawn
And as I slept I felt him go 
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean 
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again. 

My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last 
No more his song
The tune upon his lips has passed 
I sing alone
While I watch the ocean 
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again. 


ALL YOU WANT

I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side 
And although sleep leaves me behind
There's nowhere I'd rather be 
And now our bed is oh so cold
My hands feel empty
No one to hold 
I can sleep what side I want
It's not the same with you gone 
Oh if you'd come home
I'll let you know that 

All you want
Is right here in this room
All you want 
And all you need
Is sitting here with you
All you want 

It's been three years
One night apart
But in that night you tore my heart 
If only you had slept alone
If those seeds had not been sown 
Oh you could come home and you could know that 

All you want
Is right here in this room
All you want 
All you need is sitting here with you
All you want 

I hear your key turning in the door
I won't be hearing that sound anymore 
And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in
Send my regards to her 
I hope you've found that 

All you want
Is right there in that room
All you want 
All you need is sitting there with you
All you want 

I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side. 


THANK YOU

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all 
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all 
And even if I could it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall 
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad 

I drank too much last night
Got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain 
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again 
And even if I'm there
They'll all imply that I might not last the day 
And then you call me and it's not so bad
It's not so bad and 

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life 
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life 

Push the door I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through 
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you 
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue 
Because you're near me and 

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life 
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.


HONESTLY OK

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again 
I just want to feel deep in my own world 

But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore 

On a different day
If I was safe in my own skin
Then I wouldn't be lost and so frightened 
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin 

And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore 
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again. 


SLIDE

Even on a day like this when you're crawling on the floor 
Reaching for the phone to ring anyone who knows you anymore 
It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human 
Inside everybody's hiding something 

Staring at the same four walls, have you tried to help yourself 
The rings around your eyes they don't hide, that you need to get some rest 
It's all right to make mistakes you're only human 
Inside everybody's hiding something 
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment 

Don't slide 

Even at a time like this when the morning seems so far 
Think that pain belongs to you but it's happened to us all 
It's all right to make mistakes you're only human 
Inside everybody's hiding something 
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment 

Don't slide 

You brought this on yourself and it's high time you left it there 
Lie here and rest your head and dream of something else instead 

Don't slide. 


ISOBEL

I thought it was funny when you missed the train 
When I rang you at home they said you'd left yesterday 
I thought it was strange when your car was found 
By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around 

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right 
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight 
It's been a long day coming and long will it last 
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass 
By loving you more 

And who he would become, all the things he'd have done 
Would he have loved you and not let you down 
And would he be stronger than his father 
Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone 

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right 
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight 
It's been a long day coming and long will it last 
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass 
By loving you more. 


I'M NO ANGEL

If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye 
Well I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams
I'm sorry for my weary life 
I know I'm not perfect but I can smile 
And I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes 

If you tell me that I can't
I will, I will, I'll try all night 
And if say I'm coming home
I'll probably be out all night 
I know I can be afraid but I'm alive 
And I hope that you trust this heart behind my tired eyes 

I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try 
I'm no angel, but does that mean I can't live my life 
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry 
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly 

I know I'm not around each night 
And I know I always think I'm right 
I can believe that you might look around 

I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try 
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life 
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry 
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly. 


MY LIFE

What I choose to do is of no concern to you and your friends 
Where I lay my hat may not be my home, but I will last on my own 

'Cause it's me, and my life, it's my life 

Oh the world has sat in the palm of my hand not that you'd see 
And I'm tired and bored of waiting for you and all those things you never do 

'Cause it's me, and my life, it's my life, it's my life. 


TAKE MY HAND

Touch my skin and tell me what you're thinking, 
Take my hand and show me where we're going 
Lie down next to me, look into my eyes 
And tell me, oh tell me what you're seeing 
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling, 
What you feel now is what I feel for you 

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you, 
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you 

See my eyes, they carry your reflection, 
Watch my lips and hear the words I'm telling you 
Give your trust to me and look into my heart 
And show me, show me what you're doing 
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling, 
What you feel is what I feel for you 

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you, 
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you 
Take your time, if I'm lying to you, 
I know you'll find that you believe me, you believe me 

Feel the sun on your face and tell me what you're thinking 
Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes 

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you, 
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you 
Take your time and if I'm lying to you, 
I know you'll find that you believe me, you believe me.
