No Freedom lyrics - Dido

Take it by your silence

That I'm free to walk out the door

By the look in your eyes I can tell

You don't think I'll be back for more

Try to think of the world

Where you could stay and these safe hands could go

Take your heart above the water

Wherever I choose to go

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

Even when you don't see me

And even when you don't hear

I'll be flying low below the sun

And you'll feel it all out here

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

Standing here in silence

The world in front of me

Holding you in my hand

And seeing as you'd see

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

No freedom without love

Girl Who Got Away lyrics - Dido

I wanna move with the seasons

And go with the flow

And take it easy

And let stuff go

I wanna sleep like a baby

Rise with the sun

And kick it all back

And get nothing done

I wanna make this day

The longest day

With a warmth that

Delivers happiness

If only for today

I wanna be

The girl who got away

The lover who really loved

The dancer who danced

To the last song

Don't wanna take sides

Don't wanna make sense

Of pounds and pence

I want to be alone

I don't wanna hide

Don't wanna be talked over

Or walked upon

I wanna think the heart

Is bigger than the head

Wanna follow you

But not be led

If only for today

I wanna be

The girl who got away

The lover who really loved

The dancer who danced

To the last song

I know what it's like

To be passed over

To go unnoticed

To be clumsy get things wrong

And I know what it's like

To arrive too late

To be told to leave

To be walked upon

If only for today

I wanna be

The girl who got away

The lover who really loved

The dancer who danced

To the last song

If only for today

I wanna be

The girl who got away

The lover who really loved

The dancer who danced

To the last song

Let Us Move On lyrics - Dido (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

[Dido:]

Don't wrap it up in gold

Don't hide it behind the sun

Just give it to me as it is

And let it stand

Don't fly it like a kite

Between the clouds

It needs no excuse

Just bring it down

Let eyes that are in pain look upon it

In all its glory

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

For every voice that is lifted

In reverence and pain

Show us now

And let love not be chained

We should feel what we can stand

And let us be alive

So we know

That we've done all we can

Let hearts that are frozen get to see it

In all its glory

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

And let all that is lost be forgotten

And it will pass

So let all that is lost be forgotten

Let us move on

[Kendrick Lamar:]

Like the waters in the open sea

When tribulations come all we can say is hopefully

And yesterday you could probably say there's no hope for me

But today I'm overly dedicated, I'm 'posed to be

A testimony for broken hearts in the city

You either crash landing or planning on flying with me

Misery loves standing behind its company, well

Vividly I can see that your feelings would like to dwell

On our past encounters, reaching over the counter

Told me that it's a appealing to pop a pill, that's a downer

I heard emotions burn deep

I heard when you fall out of love the drop is steep

I heard when you see a thug, that's what you try be

Got these burdens under my wings, but I'm still free

'Cause I can make the decision to let it all go away

Before I ever run astray I'll look you in the eye and say

[Dido:]

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

Blackbird lyrics - Dido

He put the c—

He put the c—

He put the c—

He put the c—

He put the c—

He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up

He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that

He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat

And he put down the key and said, "I won't be needing that"

And he turned and smiled as if that explained it all

And he walked down the hall and he opened the door

And said, "Of course I'll call"

Heart, why do I bring you love

When you all you give me back is pain?

Heart, why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

Now, there's a black black black bird in my chest

All a flutter and all caged in

Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head

Who tear at every wise thing I should have said

Heart, why do I bring you love

When you all you give me back is pain?

Heart, why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

We're not the strangers we were when we first met

But the kind of strangers at the end

And all that remains is a day without plans

Where I won't be missed, another handful of sand

Heart, why do I bring you love

When you all you give me back is pain?

Heart, why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

Heart, why do I bring you love

When you all you give me back is pain?

Heart, why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

End Of Night lyrics - Dido

Only now it's gone, I can see the year

See it for what it was and start another day

All the liberty you took, the love that you abused

The friends that you turned against me if you could

And you're twisting what I say, all that saying you were scared

It doesn't matter anymore 'cause I'm not there

You were careless when the beat kicked in and careless when it left

And careless all the way, I didn't see it 'til the end

I feel nothing when you cry

I hear nothing, see no need to reply

I can smile now and turn away

Come over here, so you can see me walk away and celebrate

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

It only takes one lie to bring this house down

Behind closed doors, no one tells the first time 'round

Pain is worse when you bring it on yourself

The sweetest bully building, a love that couldn't last

You were ugly when the beat kicked in and ugly when it left

And ugly all the way, I didn't see it 'til the end

I feel nothing when you cry

I hear nothing, see no need to reply

I can smile now and turn away

Come over here, so you can see me walk away and celebrate

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

After the fall comes love

I hate to hate and love to love

After the fall comes love

I hate to hate and love to love

I feel nothing when you cry

I hear nothing, see no need to reply

I can smile now and turn away

Come over here, so you can see me walk away and celebrate

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night)

The end of night (The end of night, the end of night, the end of night, the end of night)

Sitting On The Roof Of The World lyrics - Dido

I climbed a mountain

Not knowing that I had

Thought it was just a road from a to b

I took no protection

Not much of anything

Just went as I was

Looking in windows

And playing songs

And knocking on doors

I was not scared

I just enjoyed the sights

Kept myself to myself

There I was

Sitting on the roof of the world

There I was, there I was

Not knowing how I got there or how to leave

Everyone says I was lucky to have got there

As not many can

Truth be told I was saved

By the love of a good man

Who came and got me and brought me down

From on up there

And I'd be lying if I didn't say I missed it now and then

But I have no wish to go back there

There I was

Sitting on the roof of the world

There I was with all the gods

Not knowing how I got there or how to leave

People say

What's so special about being back here

With everyone so close?

That's the point

I don't wanna be different

I just want to fit in

There I was, there I was

Sitting on the roof of the world

There I was with all the gods

Not knowing how I got there or how to leave

Not knowing how I got there or how to leave

Not knowing how I got there or how to leave

Love To Blame lyrics - Dido

Helen of Troy was the kind of girl

Who really had it all

Not a care in the world but her head was turned

And forever changed

She said, "One love is lost but another is found

So just take the keys and let's just go, birds fly south."

Nothing ventured

Nothing gained

It's all about love

So I'm not to blame

I'm not to blame

She said, "I've dotted my Is and I've crossed my Ts."

Had time for friends when they needed me

I try to make sense of senseless things

Try to live how I believe

And of course I leave things behind that I'll regret

But there's time enough for new things yet, for new things yet

When the dust covers the sun

And all you hope for is undone

Will you turn and say

Nothing ventured

Nothing gained

It was all for love

So love is to blame

Love is to blame

Love is to blame

Love is to blame

Love is to blame

Love is to blame

Love is to blame

Love is to blame

When the dust covers the sun

And all you hope for is undone

Will you turn and say

Nothing ventured

Nothing gained

It was all for love

So love is to blame

Love is to blame

Go Dreaming lyrics - Dido

Another summer coming to an end

And I'm still walking on without a care

And even if the birds have flown, the sun has gone

I'll still be here, here

Oh, I want to walk with kings

Oh, and take a chance on things

And though I may give way to those who could cause me pain

And step aside to threats and bullies

I still believe, I still believe

I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something better than in me

I'd rather die loving and lost in the feeling of letting go

I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good

I can let it go, I can let it go

They're all flying flags and making noise

Bringing on their speeches drinks and boys

But when they're gone I'll be standing here

And picking up the mess they left

I still believe, I still believe

I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something, better than in me

I'd rather die loving, lost in the feeling of letting go

I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good

I can let it go, I can let it go

I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something, better than in me

I'd rather die loving, lost in the feeling of letting go

I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good

I can let it go, I can let it go

Happy New Year lyrics - Dido

I'll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight

Though I know you won't be there

I'll wear them in a gold chain that catches in the light

Though I know of course you won't appear

And I'll leave the party early after a drink or two

And I'll check my phone for calls

Though I know there will be none

From you, from you

And I'll walk home with snow falling

Deep on frozen lawns

And I'll leave all those others celebrating

All the things that they have done

I'll come over to your office and watch them come and go

Though I know I won't see you there

And I'll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the sea

I'll be sitting there alone

And as usual, above all things

I'll miss you every day without pause

Happy new year my darling

Happy new year

And I'll walk home with snow falling

Deep on frozen lawns

And I'll leave all those others celebrating

All the things that they have done

Happy new year my darling

Happy new year

And I'll leave

Happy new year my darling

Happy new year

And I'll leave

Happy new year my darling

Happy new year

And I'll leave

Happy new year my darling

Happy new year

And I'll leave

Leave

Loveless Hearts lyrics - Dido

I can find the good news in anything

But without you, that's all gone

No one could have told me how much I'd miss you

And how soon the world moves on

How can they not hear me

When I say

"We're not safe anymore"

Did loveless hearts build the world

Only to tear it apart

How did those gods tempt you to leave

Just when we needed you most

The sun will rise today as it did yesterday

And I'll keep on going too

But every hour that I get through it breaks my heart

That I am losing more of you

Did loveless hearts build the world

Only to tear it apart

How did those gods tempt you to leave

Just when we needed you most

Did loveless hearts build the world

Only to tear it apart

How did those gods tempt you to leave

Just when we needed you most

Day Before We Went To War lyrics - Dido

All the pictures on the wall

The sand lying on the floor

The bed upstairs still unmade

The dust float in the light

The people just left

All laughter and mess

Forgetting this and that

And rushing back

The front door open

The music still playing in one room

Down the hall

Towels on the floor

And then it's quiet

Just the bees and birds

The summer haze

Of the trees

And the air

Feeds it all

Feeds it all

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war

We can all feel it

All the parasols and kids at play

The sea so still and calm

Blue as the cloudless sky

Just the gentle hum

Of the summer's goings on

Broken by the sudden rush

Of two planes

Flying low and fast

Into the sun

Into the sun

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war

We can all feel it

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

We can all feel it

Like a light hand on your back

Welcoming you

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war

The day before we went to war

Let Us Move On (Alternative Version) lyrics - Dido (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

[Dido:]

Don't wrap it up in gold

Don't hide it behind the sun

Just give it to me as it is

And let it stand

Don't fly it like a kite

Between the clouds

It needs no excuse

Just bring it down

Let eyes that are in pain look upon it

In all its glory

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

For every voice that is lifted

In reverence and pain

Show us now

And let love not be chained

We should feel what we can stand

And let us be alive

So we know

That we've done all we can

Let hearts that are frozen get to see it

In all its glory

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

And it will pass

And let all that is lost be forgotten

And it will pass

So let all that is lost be forgotten

Let us move on

I heard when you see a dove, that's what you try be

Got these burdens under my wings, but I'm still free

Before I ever run astray I'll look you in the eye and say

[Dido:]

Let us move on

Let us move on

Let us move on

For this is short

All I See lyrics - Dido (feat. Pete Miser)

I thought it was done when I packed my bags and walked into the light

I picked the books I thought I should and closed the door behind

And when I handed back the keys, I thought that I was free

No shame, no dirt, no surprises wait for me

I want to believe that where I began is not where I'll always be

But you're all I see and I carry you with me

You're all I see and I carry you with me

Thought it was safe to assume once I locked up the room

That I'd be gone for good, but I would be back soon

Memories burned out still I'm smelling the fumes

Melodies turned down still I'm singing the tunes

Like a witch on a broom, I wish I could fly fly away

Disappear into the ether, find a hideaway

But the memories invade when I lie awake

Can't hide from yourself is what I'm trying to say

And by the way, what would I be without my past?

Only find the right number when I doubt my math

Avoid blunders only after I recount my last

Setbacks that don't kill me just amount to laughs

Anyway, if I could turn back the hands of time

Would I change the events or change my mind?

Wouldn't recognise myself without my doubts and fears

Got a feeling all I need is all right here

And you're all I see and I carry you with me

You're all I see and I carry you with me

You're all I see and I carry you with me

I've been told apples don't fall far from the tree

I hope they're wrong when they're talking about me

All I see are the ruins of a plan gone wrong

All I need is a reason to keep on and stay strong

Gotta couple old ghosts that won't leave me alone

Even after moving three thousand miles from home

Thought I shook 'em when I hit Brooklyn wasn't even looking

But they're putting their mark on everything I do

Find a few quiet moments and they creep back through

Infiltrated my dreams and held my sleep back too

I don't know where I could go without them following me

It seems everywhere I look they're all I see

You're all I need

You're all I need

You're all I see and I carry you with me

You're all I see and I carry you with me

Just Say Yes lyrics - Dido

If by chance, I saw you at first

First time now, there on the dance floor

I would put, my coat back down

I'd head for the door and I'd ask your name

Just because, you've been there before

And been burnt, don't walk away

Well just say yes, why say no,

When you can say yes and just come home?

Just come here, don't step away

Don't stop there, when you can be here

Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same

But it's OK

Even if, you think you should walk

Before you can run and falling is wrong

Even if, if you believe

Fate conspires against you again

Well just say yes, why say no,

You can say yes and just come home

Just come here, why step away?

Don't stop there, when you can be here

Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same

But it's OK

You should clear a space in your head

Kick out the lame, the lost and the dead

And who will know you when you

Are just bones and who,

Will care how beautiful you are

Well just say yes, why say no,

You can say yes and just come home

Just come here, why step away?

Don't stop there, when you can be here

Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same

But it's OK

Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same

But it's OK

Let's Run Away lyrics - Dido

And before I start the day

I have a glimpse of how I used to feel

When we drove all night and laughed all day

Thinking nothing can go wrong

And now our hands are full and walking in the dark

I don't know what's below or what's above

But it doesn't matter now

Don't look back

Don't look back

Let's run away

Then tomorrow won't be the same

Let's go away

Then today won't feel the same

And don't look up and don't look left or right

And trust me now and we'll be fine

I'll take your fear and send it out to sea

And you'll forget every little thing you've seen

And it doesn't matter now

Don't look back

Oh, let's run away

Then tomorrow, won't be the same

Let's go away (go away)

Then today won't feel the same

Oh, let's run away (run away)

Then tomorrow won't be the same

Let's go away

Then today won't feel the same

Let's run away

Then tomorrow won't feel the same

Won't feel the same

Everything To Lose (Armin Van Buuren Remix) lyrics - Dido

I used to be so fearless, so limitless and free

Happy on my own and nothing really bothered me

I had desires to see the world, jump out of planes and fly

And I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die

(I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die)

I used to be so sure of things and self-contained

I could carry on with no need to explain

It didn't matter if I ever made it home

Could go too fast and drink all night and dance alone

I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die

I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die

Oh, I've got everything to lose

I used to be so thoughtless, so easy and free

Could walk away, not think ahead and had no plans to keep

No hand to hold, no one to bring down with me

I wouldn't see the worst and it only hurts me

I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die

Oh, I've got everything to lose

Oh, since I met you

I've got everything to lose

Since I, since I

I've got everything to lose

Since I, since I

Oh, since I met you

Since I, since I

I've got everything to lose

Oh, since I met you

Since I, since I

I've got everything to lose

Since I

Lost lyrics - Dido

However long I'm under makes no difference

However long I'm down there'll be air for me

All I've had that's lost, that's gone it falls away

And I'll come up in my time, there'll be no fear for me

I walk down this easy path where shadows fall behind

And rest beneath the trees and wait for me

Lost's where I belong, lost's where I've gone

Lost is my new home, lost's where I belong

Usually darkness gets to me, this place is mine

No idea what led me to more peace than home

Dressed in blue she takes me through, no doubt for me

To follow right behind the sun is blind and I can't see

Lost's where I belong, lost's where I've gone

Lost is my new home, lost's where I belong

Lost's where I belong, lost where I've gone

Lost is my new home, lost's where I belong

I can walk, with no end, nothing hurts, nothing's pain

Nothing's missed, no one's gone, moved away, nothing's wrong

Lost where I belong, lost where I've gone

Lost is where I belong
