Help with some lyrics!

[leo]

Hi guys, I thinj this is the right place to post this.
I adore Leona Lewis, she is my favourite singer in the whole wide world (after Carrie of course)
So I heard this demo recorde for her (possibility for album 3) and i ADORE the song in a level I cannot explain wich is why Im praying that Ill make it. Anyhow, the point of this post is for you to please please help me figure out some of the lyrics I cant understand. (As English is the native language for most of you, I figures it may be easier for you), so , here it is.



Sometimes I talk in the mornings when I think youre there
I speak your name, I can smell your hair
then reality wakes me
sometimes I wait for you listening to every car
that is passing by,with a racing heart, and its driving me crazy

well I cannot break the spell that you laid on me ..............................
its never gonna let me go

cause Im awake when Im tryin´ to sleep
and when I ......... I forget to breathe
and when I ........ when I try to heal
I speak I shatter
because I lie when I tell the truth
and no, Im never coming back to you
...................................
I keep, keep better, I live I shatter, speak I shatter
cry I shatter, I shatter

I take it easy, Ive never been a fan of ........
I chek it out, and I go for it, if Im sure ........ safely
I take it easy so what the hell, whats happening?
when I met a boy, and I let you in, my defenses get lazy


I cannot break the spell that you laid on my heart and this house
its never gonna be the same

cause Im awake when Im tryin´ to sleep
and when I ......... I forget to breathe
and when I ........ when I try to heal
I speak I shatter
because I lie when I tell the truth
and no, Im never coming back to you
...................................
I keep, keep better, I live I shatter, speak I shatter
cry I shatter, I shatter

I place my bet so ......... broken hearted
cause I am sure ..................... I never go down
I raise my head and I know my skies will shatter
so all of you can know
all of you can know

cause Im awake when Im tryin´ to sleep
and when I ......... I forget to breathe
and when I ........ when I try to heal
I speak I shatter
because I lie when I tell the truth
and no, Im never coming back to you
...................................
I keep, keep better, I live I shatter, speak I shatter
cry I shatter, I shatter

So the reason this son resonates with my is because this is my life right now
but whatever I dont want to annoy you with that
The point is if someone were to take a few moments to correct my mistakes and fill the spaces I coudnt I would be so grateful !!

Wow, this song is gorgeous. I love it! Thanks for posting it. My favorite Leona song since Stone Hearts. Anyway, I think these are right...

Sometimes I talk in the mornings when I think youre there
I speak your name, I can smell your hair
then reality wakes me
sometimes I wait for you listening to every car
that is passing by, with a racing heart, and its driving me crazy

well I cannot break the spell that you've laid on my head and this house
it's never gonna let me go

'cause Im awake when I've got to sleep
and when I ache I forget to breathe
and when I fail when I try to heal
I speak I shatter
because I lie when I tell the truth
and no, it never compares to you
And when you left me I think you knew
I can't get better, I live I shatter, speak I shatter
cry I shatter, I shatter

I take it easy, I've never been a fan of rest
I chek it out, and I go for it, if I'm sure to land safely
I take it easy so what the hell, what's happening?
when I met you boy, and I let you in, my defenses got lazy


And now I cannot break the spell that you've laid on my heart and this house
its never gonna be the same

'cause I'm awake when I've got to sleep
and when I ache I forget to breathe
and when I fail when I try to heal
I speak, I shatter
because I lie when I tell the truth
and no, It never compares to you
And when you left me I think you knew
I can't get better, I live I shatter, speak I shatter
cry I shatter, I shatter

I place my bets on the broken hearted
cause I am sure now it's the safest path I'll ever go down
I raise my head and I know my skies will shatter
so all of you can know
all of you can know

'cause I'm awake when I´ve got to sleep
and when I ache I forget to breathe
and when I fail when I try to heal
I speak I shatter
because I lie when I tell the truth
and no, It never compares to you
And when you left me I think you knew
I can't get better, I live I shatter, speak I shatter
cry I shatter, I shatter

I Live I shatter, I speak I shatter, I cry I shatter, I shatter
