Better Than I Know Myself lyrics - Adam Lambert

Cold as ice
And more bitter than a december
Winter night
That's how I treated you
And I know that I
I sometimes tend to lose my temper
And I cross the line
Yeah that's the truth

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

[Chorus:]
Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

All along
I tried to pretend it didn't matter
If I was alone
But deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn't know which way to turn
Cause I'm lost without you

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

[Chorus:]
Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

[Bridge:]
I get kind of dark
Let it go too far
I can be obnoxious at times
But try and see my heart
Cause I need you now
So don't let me down
You're the only thing in this world
I would die without

[Chorus:]
Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

Broken English lyrics - Adam Lambert

Tower of Babel has fallen down again
Information disarray
I don't know who I should believe in
Everybody's an authority
Fragments don't count
They always end up falling through the cracks
Don't think out loud
Cause once it's out your mouth, can't take it back

Can't say all the little things
That I wanna tell you right now
I know you won't understand
But I gotta tell you somehow
And on and on and on I go
Connect the neck to what's below I know
Now your body language is broken, broken English

Lost inside communication breakdown
Better just read my lips
Come in clear when we get down
Iceberg, just the tip

My words get lost
Can you read the look that's on my face?
Wires get crossed
In communion with the human race

Can't say all the little things
That I wanna tell you right now
I know you won't understand
But I gotta tell you somehow
And on and on and on I go
Connect the neck to what's below I know
Now your body language is broken, broken English

Oooooooh oooooooooooh
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooooh
Oooooh nooooo...

Can't say all the little things
That I wanna tell you right now
I know you won't understand
But I gotta tell you somehow
And on and on and on I go
Connect the neck to what's below I know
Now your body language is broken, broken English

Underneath lyrics - Adam Lambert

Strip away the flesh and bone
Look beyond the lies you've known
Everybody wants to talk about a freak
No one wants to dig that deep
Let me take you underneath

Baby, better watch your step
Never mind what's on the left
You're gonna see things you might not wanna see
It's still not that easy for me underneath

A red river of screams
Underneath
Tears in my eyes
Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath, the depths of my sin
Look at me
Now do you see?

Welcome to my world of truth
I don't wanna hide any part of me from you
I'm standing here with no apologies
Such a beautiful release
You inside of me

A red river of screams
Underneath
Tears in my eyes
Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath, the depths of my sin
Look at me
Now do you see?
Underneath, underneath, underneath...
Underneath, Underneath

Welcome to my world of truth

A red river of screams
Underneath
Tears in my eyes
Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath, the depths of my sin
Look at me
Now do you see?
Underneath, underneath, underneath
Look at me
Do you see?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Look at me
Do you see?

Welcome to my world of truth
I don't wanna hide any part of me from you

Chokehold lyrics - Adam Lambert

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Sheets are in a knot
My heart is like a rock, aye

Pictures flashing by inside my head
I'm hanging by a thread
But I'd do it all again, 'ey

[Pre-Chorus:]
I keep running away, running away
Running away from you
But I can't stand breaking the chains,
Breaking the chains, breaking the chains
It's too good

[Chorus 1:]
Cause I know the second you go
Want you to bring it on back, bring it on back
Bring it on back to me
And you know I want your chokehold
Want you to bring it on back, bring it on back
Bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me

All without your touch I suffocate
I could asphyxiate, but I kind of like the pain, 'ey

Babe, I can smell you on my clothes
I try to stay composed
But I feel the fever grow, grow oh oh

[Pre-Chorus:]
I keep running away, running away
Running away from you
But I can't stand breaking the chains,
Breaking the chains, breaking the chains
It's too good

[Chorus 2:]
Cause I know the second you go
Want you to bring it on back, bring it on back
Bring it on back to me
And you know I want your chokehold
Want you to bring it on back, bring it on back
Bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me

[Bridge:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, hey, ey' eyeh
Me, me, me, meye
Yey, yey
Gonna bring it back ey
Back to me

[Chorus 3:]
Cause I know the second you go
Want you to bring it on back, bring it on back
Bring it on back to me
And you know I want your chokehold
Want you to bring it on back, bring it on back
Bring it on back to me
Yey yey yey
Oh, you gotta bring it right back
Bring it on back to me
Bring it on back to me
Oh, oh

Outlaws Of Love lyrics - Adam Lambert

Oh, nowhere left to go
Are we getting closer? Closer?
No, all we know is "No"
Nights are getting colder, colder

Hey, tears all fall the same
We all feel the rain
We can't change...

Everywhere we go we're looking for the sun
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run
They say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
They've branded us enough, "Outlaws of Love".

Scars make us who we are
Hearts and homes are broken, broken
Far, we could go so far
With our minds wide open, open

Hey, tears all fall the same
We all feel the rain
We can't change...

Everywhere we go we're looking for the sun
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run
They say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
They've branded us enough, "Outlaws of Love".

Yeah yeeeahh mmmmmm
Ooooooooooooo...

Everywhere we go we're looking for the sun
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run
They say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
They've branded us enough, "Outlaws of Love".

Outlaws of Love
Outlaws of Love
Outlaws of Love
Outlaws of Love

Runnin' lyrics - Adam Lambert

Steel to my trembling lips,
How did the night ever get like this?
One shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down
Bottom of the bottle hits
Waking up my mind as I throw a fit
The breakin' is takin' me down, down, down

My heart's beating faster, I know what I'm after.
I've been standing here my whole life,
Everything I've seen twice, now it's time I realize
It's spinnin' back around now, on this road I'm crawling
Save me cause I'm falling, now I can't seem to breathe right
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from my heart.

'Round and around I'd go, addicted to the numb
Living in the cold
The higher, the lower the down, down, down
Sick of being tired and sick of waiting
For another kind of fix
The damage is damning me down, down, down

My heart's beating faster, I know what I'm after.
I've been standing here my whole life,
Everything I've seen twice, now it's time I realize
It's spinning back around now, on this road I'm crawling
Save me cause I'm falling, now I can't seem to breathe right
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from my heart.

Woah ohhhhh,
I'm coming alive.
Woah ohhhhh,
Wake up now and live oh!

Woah ohhhhh,
I'm coming alive.
A life that's always been a dream,
Wake up now and live oh!

I've been standing here my whole life,
My heart's beating faster, I know what I'm after.

I've been standing here my whole life,
Everything I've seen twice, now it's time I realize
It's spinning back around now, on this road I'm crawling
Save me cause I'm falling, now I can't seem to breathe right
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from my heart.

Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from my heart.

Take Back lyrics - Adam Lambert

All you ever think is "Gimme, gimme"
But you never give back (eh eh ay)
All I ever do is overthink and drink
Until I attack (eh eh ay)

We know how to talk it into the ground
We know how to wear it out
If we ain't gon say that
Gonna end up in a grave and baby

How do we take back what's been done,
What's been said?
Oh my...
How do we take back?
Cause no one wins
When love breaks down, we both die
I would give anything just to chase the dark away
And start all over again
How do we take back what's been done,
What's been said?
Oh my...

Hey

I fed you a fantasy
But you've been drunk on reality (eh eh ay)
All you want is to be wanted
As long as you get it out of me (eh eh ay)

We used to be a jungle, sticky and wild
It used to be we owned the night
All the stupid games we play
And all the shit that we've been sayin
(Eh eh ey)

How do we take back what's been done,
What's been said?
Oh my...
How do we take back?
Cause no one wins.
When love breaks down, we both die.
I would give anything just to chase the dark away
And start all over again
How do we take back what's been done,
What's been said?
Oh my...

Remember remember the first time we collided
We lost it we lost it
Yeaaaaaah!

How do we take back what's been done,
What's been said?
Oh my...
How do we take back?
Cause no one wins
When love breaks down, we both die
I would give anything just to chase the dark away
And start all over again
How we take back what's been done,
What's been said?
Oh my...

Ohh my
How do we take back...

Nirvana lyrics - Adam Lambert

When the stars are too cold
Frozen over the glow
On the edge of the night
We can be their light
So give me more than your touch
And give yourself to the rush
Just keep holding my hand
As we're taking off
I know where we'll land

We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down

Through the dark there's a way
There's a love, there's a place
Where we don't have to hide
We can dream all night
So follow me through the sky
And watch the oceans collide
Just keep holding my hand
As we're taking off
I know where we'll land

We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
And I'll lay you down, lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down

Oh, we don't need any diamonds or gold
Watch the mystic and cryptic unfold
As we fly high

Ooooooh ey, ey, ey ey

We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
And I'll lay you down, lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down
I'll lay you down, lay you down
I'll lay you down, lay you down

By The Rules lyrics - Adam Lambert

You are my lover
My lava flow
Burn like no other
Right through the core
Just like the constellations, we shine
No wreck or ruin, our planets align

The tide and the moon yeah
You pull like the sea
In waves I can feel ya
You're My ecstasy
The lamb and the lion
We lay down in peace.
Like air to the fire
I need you to breathe

By the rules I play
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
Let nature have it's way
Predator and prey
That's the way we're made
So by the rules
By the rules
By the rules

After the thunder
Must come the rain
After our beautiful karma
Must come the pain
Just like the constellations, we fade
As blades of sunlight send, send night away

The tide and the moon yeah
You pull like the sea
In waves I can feel ya
You're My ecstasy
The lamb and the lion
We lay down in peace.
Like air to the fire
I need you to breathe

By the rules I play
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
Let nature have it's way
Predator and prey
That's the way we're made
So by the rules
By the rules
By the rules, ouhououou...

By the rules I play
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
Let nature have it's way
Predator and prey
That's the way we're made
So by the rules
By the rules
By the rules, ouhououou...

Map lyrics - Adam Lambert

I had a vision that the colours had bled away
and I had nothing to follow
Was in a prison and my life was stuck on replay
And all my wishes were hollow

You were a beam of light
Lit up my broken sky
There was just something about you
I had a vision and it painted the world for me
And now I'm laying beside you

I don't need to wander any more
I have found what I've been looking for
I don't need a map to know the way
I don't need a map to tell me where I'm at

Now I believe in more than I can see
Now I can breathe again and
I don't need a map to know the way
I don't need a map, you'll always light the path

The dawn is bright and
My perception is open wide
You know you flooded my senses
What you inspire is a feeling I can't describe
Forgotten all my defences

You were a beam of light
Lit up my broken sky
There was just something about you, ooh
I had a vision and you painted the world for me
And now I'm staying beside you

I don't need to wander any more
I have found what I've been looking for
I don't need a map to know the way
I don't need a map to tell me where I'm at

Now I believe in more than I can see
Now I can breathe again and
I don't need a map to know the way
I don't need a map, you'll always light the path

Follow me
I believe, I believe, I believe in more than I can see
I believe, I believe, I believe in more than I can see

Now I believe in more than I can see
Now I can breathe again and
I don't need a map to know the way
I don't need a map you'll always light the path

Voodoo lyrics - Adam Lambert

Moon shine (moonshine) on the bayou
Love shrine (love shrine) break the taboo
I wanna know what's in your potion
Bound by total devotion

I was lookin' for love all over
You're the hunter and I'm your prey
Now I'm lost in a love hangover
I try to leave but I have to stay

'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)
'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)

Swamp sings over the bazaar
Snake bites aligning stars
I'm enraptured there is no cure
No sanctuary from your allure

I was lookin' for love all over
You're the hunter and I'm your prey
Now I'm lost in a love hangover
I try to leave but I have to stay

'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)
'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)

'Cause the voodoo that you do
Is all that you can do
To make me into your fool
'Cause when you do your voodoo
I'm just like a doll
That your pins keep pushing into

So every time I try to break this trance
I'm just so afraid I'll miss my chance
To be bewitched by the bayou

I just gotta say I want your hex
I don't wanna live without your hex
I'm so obsessed with your sexiness

Yeah...

'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)
'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)
'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)
'Cause it's voodoo voodoo voodoo
(Under your spell)
(So obsessed with your sexiness)

Can't Let You Go lyrics - Adam Lambert

Oh.... yeah

Guess it was not meant to be
But it's not as bad as it seems
It only burns when I breathe, yeah

You saw the way that I fell
But I'm better off by myself
That's the tale I like to tell, yeah

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye
And everything in me, wants you back in my life

Can't let you go
Can't let you go, oh

It feels like the dawn of the dead
Like bombs goin' off in my head
Never a moment of rest, yeah

Nothing kills more than to know
That this is the end of the road
And I know I gotta let go, oh

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye
And everything in me, wants you back in my life

Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go
Can't let you go, oh

Wish I could just find a way
To have all your memories erased
Cause constantly they're haunting me

But it's not that easy for me to say goodbye!
And everything in me, wants you back in my life!

Can't let you go!
Can't let you go!
Can't let you go!
Can't let you go! Oh

I can't let you go, oh
I can't let you go, oh

Light Falls Away lyrics - Adam Lambert

Goodbye my friends
So long
Light falls away
Gone another day

So long my friends
Goodbye, this is not the end
Tomorrow
Yeah

We'll go higher than we
We've been
I won't leave no
Not a thing
For the home swim

For it's always been, somewhere in between
Light falls away
And it's easy to see, hope in our dreams

So don't let me, sleep to long
For I, don't want to miss a thing, with you

We'll go higher than we
We've been
I won't leave no
Not a thing
For the home swim
We'll go higher than we
We've been
I won't leave no
Not a thing
For the home swim

For it's always been, somewhere in between
Light falls away
And it's easy to see, hope in our dreams

Night, my friends
Tomorrow will start again
At first light

Did You Need It lyrics - Adam Lambert

So one of us
has to go. We know
one of us,
yeah,
come on, it's time to go.
And was the spotlight
up above you
shining so bright?
A searchlight,
signaling.
Ah yeah.

And as the storm
rolls in, yeah,
leaving all we've been.
I guess there's a first time for everything

And was the spotlight
up above you
shining so bright?
A searchlight,
signaling.
Ah yeah.

And where the hell
did you
go?
And was the road
too long?

And was the spotlight
up above you
shining so bright?
A searchlight
signaling
to bring you home
always wanting.
You found oh the limelight.

Did you need it?
Did you want it?
Did you find it?
Did you need it?

And where the hell
did you
go?
And was the road
too long?
