Ella Henderson – Empire – Lyrics

Empire by Ella Henderson

They don't laugh ever

I see your lie

I know it's coming and I'm terrified

No more defences here to hide behind

Oh, just you and I

And through the smoke, I see you're burning like a ray of hope

I found the fire and now the ashes glow

Oh, come alive

And now that I'm awake

I'm not afraid, I'm letting go tonight

Cause we found strength

And enjoyed the songs

We built this life and we made it up

Empire, empire, empire

And you and I, they will enjoy these cards

We'll build on life and we'll make it up

Empire, empire, empire

Stone by stone, we build this hour we call our own

So high the world forget the world below

Oh, just you and I, high

So let the drums roll

The cannons blow, we're letting go tonight

Cause we found strength

And enjoyed the songs

We built this life and we made it up

Empire, empire, empire

And you and I, they will enjoy these cards

We'll build on life and we'll make it up

Empire, empire, empire

They'll never take it down, take it down

Burn it down, burn us down

Take it down, take down our empire

They'll never take it down, take it down

Burn it down, burn us down

Take it down, take down our empire

Cause we found strength

And enjoyed the songs

We built this life and we made it up

Empire, empire, empire

And you and I, they will enjoy these cards

We'll build on life and we'll make it up

Empire, empire, empire

They'll never take it down, take it down

Burn it down, burn us down

Take it down, take down our empire

Ella Henderson – Ghost – Lyrics

Ghost by Ella Henderson

I keep going to the river to pray

Cos I need, something that can wash all the pain

And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you will kiss me awake

My friends had you figured out

Yeah they saw what's inside of you

Trying to hide in another you

But your evil is coming through

These eyes sitting on the wall

They watch every move I make

Bright light living in the shade

Your cold heart makes your spirit shake

I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane

Had to meet the devil just to know his name

And that's where my love was burning

Yeah it's still burning

I keep going to the river to pray

Cos I need, something that can wash all the pain

And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake(x2)

Each time that I think you go

I turn around and you're creeping in

And I let you under my skin

Cos I love living innocent

Boy you never told me

True love was going to hurt

True pain that I don't deserve

Truth is that I never learn

I keep going to the river to pray

Cos I need, something that can wash all the pain

And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake(x2)

Give up the ghost, Give up the ghost, Give up the ghost, Stop the haunting baby

Give up the ghost, Give up the ghost, Give up the ghost, No more haunting baby

I keep going to the river

I keep going to the river to pray

Cos I need, something that can wash all the pain

And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake(x2)
