One Direction

Released: November 12, 2015

[Verse 1: Liam Payne]
I thought I saw a girl brought to life
She was warm, she came around and she was dignified
She showed me what it was to cry
But you couldn't be that girl I adored
You don't seem to know, seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know her anymore

[Pre-Chorus: Harry Styles]
There's nothing where she used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn

[Chorus: All]
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn

[Verse 2: Niall Horan]
And so I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
It crawled beneath my veins, and now

[Pre-Chorus: Louis Tomlinson]
I don't care, I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch, I'm torn

[Chorus: All]
'Cause I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
'Cause you're a little late, I'm already torn

[Bridge: Harry]
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
And that's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn

[Chorus: All]
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
