James Morrison - Once, When I Was Little Lyrics
I was the one who would always jump in first
I didnât think twice to look behind
Got such a good feeling just from playing in the dirt
Once when I was little
James Morrison - Love Is Hard Lyrics
I see lovers in the streets
Walking without a care
They wear it out loud
Like thereâs something in the air

I donât know where I crossed the line
Was it something that I said or didnât say this time?
And I donât know if itâs me or you

When you lower me down
So deep that I, I canât get out
And when youâre lost, lost and alone
Yes, youâd think it was the last place
James Morrison - Save Yourself Lyrics
I'm trying to change to make the best for us
But I'm just the same, same as I ever was
Oh, and if you stay with me, honestly it's what I want
But if you stay with me I know I'll hurt you more
James Morrison - You Make It Real Lyrics
So much craziness surroundinâ me
So much goinâ on, it gets hard to breathe
When all my faith has gone, you bring it back to me

One, two, three, four
Loving you was easy, playing by the rules
But you said love tastes so much better when itâs cruel

Some people sleep easy, some people donât
I see you keep the light on, stops you feeling so alone
Some people make it better, some make it worse
He thought he held you lightly, yeah, it got you where it hurts

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me, now I can't feel anything

When I was young and I was a victim of her killer smile
Her love was cheap and it was great for a little while
I had to leave but she wanted me to stay
And she ripped up my shirt and left the marks of her disdain
James Morrison - Fix the World Up for You Lyrics
I canât tell you now
Youâre not here to listen to what Iâve got to say
All my words unplanned
Just like us, they are waiting to come together
James Morrison - Precious Love Lyrics
I was so lost, didnât know what to do with myself
I was my own worst enemy
I was lost and know I needed help
