Christina Perri - Tekstovi Pesama

[Vesna]

A Thousand Years

(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

(Verse 2)
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday

Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

Backwards



Take me backwards, turn me around
I cannot find my balance on the ground
This world is too heavy
For a feather falling quickly

And I wrote your story
But I'm afraid of how it ends
And though my friends are doing well
And I'm still on the mend

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town

'Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
I tried to be brave

And nothing's coming easy
And all at once, I feel a little queasy
Oh, but if you lost my remedy
Would you please come and be with me?

It's not like there's much better
But his grasp is as green as mine
I can't say that I'm satisfied 3 thousand miles
From your kiss goodbye

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town

And everybody's afraid
'Cause chances come from change
And everybody's afraid
'Cause chances come from breaking
And chances are you're breaking open

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town

'Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
It's time to be brave

[Vesna]

Arms


The world is coming down on me
And I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you
But I can't make you bleed if I'm alone
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

[Vesna]

Black + Blue

And I've been meaning to say this to you.
My heart isn't black and blue anymore
And your words don't mean a thing
When they're sung in vain

Maybe I was wrong
I only remember feeling so alone

This isn't were I meant to lay down
But you dug this grave
Fits me perfectly

And if you're asking if I'm over love
You're a fool to believe
That you gave me some

It's been raining here like it never should
And I can't help but believe it's because you're coming
And if a child wants to run away and a child wants to
hide
Oh, don't come following your fantasy,
Cause you might be surprised she'll run right back
inside

Maybe I was wrong
I only remember feeling so alone

This isn't where I meant to lay down
But you dug this grave
Fits me perfectly

And if your asking if I'm over love
You're a fool to believe,
You're a fool to believe that you gave me some.

[Vesna]

Bang Bang Bang



All my life, you know I haven't been very love strong
There's been so many fights that I fought I've never won
So I decided that I should just give up on trying to right your wrongs
And word on the street is that she did to you what you did to me

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so

Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so sweet

So unfortunately, for girls like me there are more like you
Bending and breaking the rules and we're making exceptions too
But how does it feel to swim in your own tears?
You lied and you lied, and I died, and I died and now you know why

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so

Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so sweet

Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so

Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so

Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down
To the ground
Ooh

Distance



The sun is filling up the room and I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do, right now?
I wish we would just give up
'Cause the best part is falling, call it anything but love

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

Please don't stand so close to me, I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now
I'll give you everything I am
All my broken heartbeats until I know you'll understand

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting for you to take me
You keep waiting to say what we have

So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long till we call this love, love, love?

[Vesna]

Crazy

Everyone thinks I'm crazy
for thinking that when you see me
you're gonna love me

but I tell them it's easy
like loving is supposed to be

walk into the room love
I'll be waiting
miles and miles and miles oh my love
I've come to find
find you

Must request a dance or two
until morning ruins
all my plans for you

strangely I don't give a damn
about his circumstance
or hang-up for you

walk beside this lullaby love
for dreams of you and I love
miles and miles and miles oh my love
I've come to find
find you

How
many ways
can I explain
my love
for you

without
sounding like a little girl
looking up to you

taught
me everything
yes you taught

...taught me pain
and because of you I've changed

Everyone thinks I'm crazy
for thinking that when you see me
you're gonna love me

[Vesna]

Heart For Sale


I've got a heart for sale
It's a little worn, and torn, and pale
If it beats, then I'll make you a deal
I'll give it to you for free,
If you can love it, carefully,
And get, it away from me.

(Chorus)
I know that I
Should keep it for a while
And learn what it
May need to survive
But I can't, no I won't
Make it through
One more loveless bruise

I can't seem to get it right
But I try, and try, and try
In the end, I just lose all the fights
And crawl back home to hope my heart
Can make it through
Another night of the same, Oh pain.

(Chorus)
I know that I
Should keep it for a while,
And learn what it
May need to survive
But I can't, No I won't
Make it through, One more loveless bruise

(Bridge)
I'll give you a try
If your not satisfied,
Then send it back
And I'll mend the cracks
And I'll look for another buyer.

(Chorus)
I know that I
Should keep it for a while
And learn what it needs to survive
But I can't, No I won't
Make it through
One more loveless bruise

Tired of being used
You don't know, What I've been through.

[Vesna]

I Like You

It's like a little piece of heaven
When you stay
You make me feel like it's all
Okay
And now I know that the sun
Will only shine
When the clouds go away
Cause thats how you make me feel
Thats how you make me feel today

And you're like a little piece of candy
On my tongue
You're so much fun
And i flip like a butterfly
With one look in your eyes
Thats how you make me feel
Thats how you make me feel tonight

And I think I like you
And I think you like me too

Lets keep dreaming and wishing
This way
Growups don't take enough time to play
love, and so, it matters at the end of the day
That's how you make me feel
Thank you for making me feel this way

And I think I like you
And I think you like me too

[Vesna]

Miles



I'm scared today
More than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left

Proud of me
That's the only way I want you to be
Look at me and love what you see

I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

We made it out
And all the other people are asking how
This doesn't even sound like truth
To grow from a bruise

But one day we will realize
How hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promise to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave, smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

And these are words I wish you said
But that's not how it went
'Cause you gave up on us in the end

And I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promise to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave, smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promise to come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave, smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's
