You talk about the junk you did,
Like you talk about climbing trees. You look like a little kid, With bruises on your knees. You will never cop, To the damage that's been done. You will never stop, Cos it's too much fun. Now you want somebody to be your buttercup, Good luck finding your buttercup. You already suck me dry, Can't do it any more honey. You rough me up and make me cry, And you wanna borrow money. You say you feel like a failure, And wish you cold take it all back. Well honey I gotta tell you, It's a little too late for that. Now you want somebody to be your buttercup, Good luck finding your buttercup. Glory is an act of the other You're always feeling bad Maybe you couldn't talk to your mother, Or stand up to your dad. You want my forgiveness, That I'll give to you. But you got yourself in this mess, There's nothing I can do. Now you want somebody to be your buttercup, Good luck finding your buttercup. First time I saw you, You would make me melt. The last time I saw you, You hit below the belt. You might have a beautiful mouth, You might have beautiful eyes. But soon or later, it'll all go south, You tell too many lies. Now you want somebody to be your buttercup, Good luck finding your buttercup. Good luck finding your buttercup. Good luck finding your buttercup. |

I Cared for you
Dared to do What I was never prepared to do I've talked you down Driven you around All but followed you underground I've defended you Commended you I've seen it through to the end with you I've supported you Encouraged you Comforted and consoled you I don't know how your livin' I don't know where you are And you may not be willing To open up the door If you should ever wonder You shouldn't have to ask Cos I hope you know brother I've always got your back I've paid for you I've borrowed for you I've planned all my tomorrows for you I've believed in you Grieved with you I've rolled my sleeves for you I've fed you I've clothed you I've loved you and stood up for you I've sided with you I cried for you I put my knees aside for you But I don't know how your livin' And I don't know where you are And you may not be willing To open up the door And If you should ever wonder Well you shouldn't have to ask Cos I hope you know brother I've always got your back I've always got your back |

Thundering news hits me like a snowball
struck in my face and shattering Covering me in a fine powder and mist and mixing in with my tears And I'm 57 but I could be 7 years old, Cos I will never be able to comprehend the expansiveness of what I've just learned But you, have disappeared You have been released You are flecks of light You are missed Somewhere, spinning round the sun Circling the moon Traveling through time You are missed Walking through unfamiliar streets and I'm shaking unfamiliar hands and I'm hearing unfamiliar laughs and lovely language I don't understand It's late October in Copenhagen The skies are grey, the snow is falling I see my breath outside, I'm freezing I'm motionless, I'm disbelieving But you, have disappeared You have been released You are flecks of light You are missed Somewhere, spinning round the sun Circling the moon Traveling through time You are missed |

How did you come up with a day and time
You didn't tell me you'd changed your mind How could I have been so blind I didn't know you'd changed your mind When you made the decision to get off this ride Did you run out of places to go and hide Did you know everybody would be surprised When you made the decision to get off this ride When you made the decision to jump ship Once and for all lose your grip Did you wax the deck to make it easier to slip When you made the decision to jump ship When did you start seeing black Was it too much good you felt you lacked Was it too much weight on you back When did you start seeing black When did you start seeing red Did you see me standing over your bed Did you hear anything I said When did you start seeing red When did you start seeing white Tell me baby what was it like Was it when you received your last rites When did you start seeing white Did you use a compass to get out of this place Did you ever hear my voice, did you see my face Did you finally get tired of running the race Did you use a compass to get out of this place Did you feel your act was a final truth The dramatic ending of a misspent youth Did you really feel you had all the proof Did you feel your act was a final truth Was it hard to finally pull the plug Was it hard to receive that final hug Did evil triumph over love Was it hard to finally pull the plug When did you start seeing black Was it too much good you felt you lacked Was it too much weight on you back When did you start seeing black When did you start seeing red Did you see me standing over your bed Did you hear anything I said When did you start seeing red When did you start seeing white Tell me baby what was it like Was it when you received your last rites When did you start seeing white |

I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play Enemy shot two of my buddies down Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round By my post, I'm standing guard Baby hopes for roses in front yard I don't know my enemy's name Baby takes the little one to a baseball game Why am I in this God forsaken place? Baby washes the dirt off the little one's face Ten year olds in the killing fields Baby's planning the weekly meals Bodies in a muddy ditch Baby's got supper to fix My buddy's got a hole in his head Baby's gettin' the little one ready for bed Today I shot my enemy Baby gives the little one a hug for me Both my buddy's legs got blown off Baby tends to the little one's cough I stare down the barrel of a gun Baby's out to have some fun I hear ringing in my ears Baby's face is all wet with tears I hear echoes of shots Baby's only thinkin' sweet thoughts Why In the hell did they send me here to fight? Baby kisses my picture and turns off the light I can't look my enemy in the eye Baby tells the little one, daddy's gone bye-bye Today I took a bullet through the heart Baby's gonna have to make a brand new start I met my enemy today Baby sends the little one out to play Enemy shot two of my buddies down Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round |

Hide your background, hide your fame
Hide your given middle name Swallow your pride, swallow your pills In your house up in the hills Leave your husband, leave your wife Keep on runnin' your whole life Sweep your dirt under the rug Fix your hurt with a little love Chorus: From the cradle to the grave You will always be a slave To the quiet darkness of your memories And that's the truth my friend The ugly truth my friend I've got proof my friend And that's the truth Keep your secrets to yourself Keep your paperbacks up on the shelf Burn your bridges, burn your friends Blow them kisses and make amends Take the high road or take the low No one but you and God will ever know And you play rough and win or lose Either way, you'll get the blues Repeat Chorus I've got proof, my friend And that's the truth |

In the awakening, in the awakening
I will shoulder my troubles and Harness my ride In the awakening, in the awakening I'll roll nothin' but doubles, Sevens and nines In the awakening, in the awakening I will lick my wounds I will kiss the sky In the awakening, in the awakening I'll kick the shoulds I will not ask why In the awakening, in the awakening I will pray for nothing, I will stay up till the end In the awakening, in the awakening I'll say what I want to, I will not make amends I will say what I want to, I will not make amends In the awakening, in the awakening I will honor the mistaken, I will honor the truth In the awakening, in the awakening I will honor the forsaken I will not mourn my youth In the awakening, in the awakening I will not mourn my losses, I will not mourn the dead In the awakening, in the awakening I will have no bosses, I will not bow my head In the awakening, in the awakening I will want for nothing, I will give you a gift In the awakening, in the awakening I will always love you, I will give you my kiss |

There'll never be a spring so perfect again
We'll never see a yellow so rich The grass will never be quite as green And there will never be a kiss like your kiss There will never be a summer so complete We'll never see a palette like this The berries will never taste as sweet There will never be a kiss like your kiss There will never be an autumn so vivid and warm So rare, so gold and so crisp We'll never see it colored in aubergine There will never be a kiss like your kiss There'll never be a winter quite so true When the sky is painted with gifts And there'll never be a moon so full and blue There will never be a kiss like your kiss There will never be a kiss like your kiss |
