Lyrics to Starlight by Rachael Yamagata

I couldn’t see a thing tonight,
Not one star.
Not one star shone for you.
I couldn’t see a thing tonight,
Not one star.
Not one star shone for you.
I couldn’t see a thing tonight,
Not one star.
Not one star shone for you.
I couldn’t see a thing tonight,
Not one star.
Not one star shone for you.
I add a little candlelight to get through.

Oh, I couldn’t see the moon tonight,
Not one wave.
Not one wave was out for you.
Oh, I couldn’t see the pale moonlight,
Not one part.
Not one wave was coming through.
And I’m terrified to look outside,
‘Cause I need you.

Starlight makes it all the same.
No light and I feel the pain.
Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby.
Starlight and I feel the same.
Missed flight on this aeroplane.
I’d jump from a moving train,
Just to keep you.
Would you do it for me?

Oh, I couldn’t see the sky tonight,
Not one star.
Not one star has shone for you.
Yeah, I had a real hard time tonight.
I still feel your breath.
Oh my, love I hold for you.
And I think that I’ve been holding out,
To hold onto you.
And I’m terrified to look outside,
‘Cause I need you.

Something about you is like,
Drinking a cold glass of water.
Everyone needs a place to go to sometimes.
Something about you is like,
Going against Mother Nature.
And I decide to face her everytime.

Starlight makes it all the same.
No light and I feel the pain.
Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby.
Starlight and I feel the same.
Missed flight on this aeroplane.
I’d jump from a moving train,
Just to keep you.
Would you do it for me?

As I watch you walk across the street,
I keep wondering why I can’t leave.
All the heavens are against me and you.
Do you even know a thing ’bout me?
Do you even think about my needs?
‘Cause I need you.

I couldn’t see a thing tonight,
Not one star.
Not one star was out for you.

Lyrics to Don’t Hold Your Breath by Nicole Scherzinger

You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath

I was under your spell for such a long time couldn’t break the chains
You played with my heart tore me apart withall your lies and games
It took all the strength I had but I crawled up on my feet again
Now you’re trying to lure me back but no those days are gone my friend
I loved you so much that I thought that someday you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain

You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath

Don’t hold your breath eh eh

I was worried about you but you never cared about me none
You took my money and I know that you, you could kill someone
I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough
You were always jealous over such crazy stuff

You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath

Don’t hold your breath

Move on don’t look back
I jumped off a train running off the tracks
Your day is gone face the facts
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back

You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath

Don’t hold your breath

You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
