Juliana Hatfield

You want your mother
She is your heroin
Your daddy didn't love you
You're breaking things again

You don't want to love
You want to fight
You don't want to do it
You're too uptight

Well I know it's got nothing to do with me
I won't be your drama queen

Bad goodbye
You took the easy way out
You want it so bad to be bad
It's an easy way out

Your badge of honour
An image of disease
You bought it on the corner
Instant authenticity

I count the days
How long will it take?
You're selling tickets to the self-destruction
You want the world to see your pain
I didn't come this far to go back again

Bad goodbye
You take the easy way out
You wanted so bad to be bad
It's an easy way out

Your daily bath
Can't keep your conscience clean
You're unequal to the task
And you've got the nerve to be weak

Bad goodbye
You took the easy way out, out, out
You blame it on me
But you're the disease
It's an easy way out

And he cries
Like a girl
And he lies
To the world
And the hate
And the guilt
And the pills
It's an easy way out

Hmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Deepening night
Think on a time, all was bright
Here in this dark place
I see in your face, all is not right

Make it, make your way home
Better than the last
Break it, break the alone
Take a second chance

Open a window, let in the snow
Cold is all I know
Go to the fire, stir it around
There's a warmer place for you to go

So, make it, make your way home
Better than you have
Break it, break the alone
Leave it in the past

Oh, look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you
Look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you

Wake it, wake your dream
One forgotten me
Sleepin' deep inside o' you
Heavenly peace

Shall I see to my sister
Made the magic grease
Shall we meet on the hilltop
Where the two roads meet
We will form the circle
Hold our hands and chant
Let the great one know
What it is we want

Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is the ward

Sister, we are waiting
Come and meet in shame
Fly fast throuth the airwaves
Meet with pride and truth

Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is the ward

Father, we are waiting
For you to appear
Do you feel the panic?
Can you see the fear?

Mother, we are wating
For you to give consent
If there's to be a marriage
You need contempt

Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is the ward

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
I know where you've been
And I know what you've been doing
Don't lie to me

Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
I told my dad and now I'm telling you
Don't push me 'round

Don't cross me, babe
Don't cross me, babe
Don't cross me, babe
Don't cross me, babe
Said you wouldn't, and now I'm making sure
Don't cross me babe

Do you cry in the dark because it's easier to be alone than to talk?
When the words aren't working and you don't know how to explain these thoughts
Every look and every (e)motion has a deeper meaning
Everybody hurts nobody only when they're dreaming

Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

And the picture of you holding hands by the fire is fading fast
And your heart is closing and you don't know how to get off this track
Every day you mime a prayer though your faith is shaken
Your godmother has got nobody because everybody's taken

Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

This emotion is an ocean
The waves are getting high
I'll find an island, call it mine
I'm swimming for my life

Do you cry in the dark?
The light hurts when it hits your face
You don't want anyone to see you this way
You only want to be loved and taken away by someone
So you cry in the dark

When you loved me
I was good enough
When you loved me
Music woke me up

But now the silence
Is suffocating
Did I deserve this?
Did I do a bad thing?

When you loved me
Every single day
Was a blessing
Time would fly away

But now every minute
Feels like an hour
Wishing the day would end
Inside the prison in my head

But then you turned me
Into a fool
Watching you walk away
Into another world

When you loved me
I was happy
When you loved me
Never lonely

But then you turned me
Into a fool
Watching you walk away
Into another world
When you loved me, when you loved me
When you loved me, when you loved me

I miss the sound of laughter
The children down the street
I may not find an answer
It's only memories

Hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels, hotels

Days are getting shorter
And the night wind in the trees
And the soft skin on your shoulder
And the way you wanted me

Hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels, hotels

Think of me when I'm leaving

Will you give this to my mother?
Once again it's time to leave
There's no ever after
There's only in between

Hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels, hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels.

Southern California is bad for the soul
And New York City takes its toll
The Mississippi River has a mean undertow
How can I shield myself from the things that I hear
I want to close my eyes and sleep for a year
Tell me that it's only a dream
That it's a nightmare
Trying not to think about it
Trying not to think about it

How can your mother be so strong
When her only baby is gone
I don't know where you are
Everything is wrong
So I'm trying not to think about it

They've come to take you away
They've come to put me in my place
Angels are floating down the river
Today

It all happened too soon
On a muggy afternoon
I knew it would end but I'm not ready
To lose you

Heaven can
Wait until tomorrow
Give us this day
Just let me borrow some time
So we can say goodbye

I know that you've gotta go
There are so many things I want you to know
But I don't have to say it
I don't have to explain because you know

And maybe you wouldn't even care
But I feel the need to be there
To thank you for understanding
When I was scared

Heaven can
Wait until tomorrow
Give us this day
Just let me borrow some time
So we can say goodbye

I'm walking away
And when I reach the next stage
I'll be with him
We'll be celebrating

Heaven can
Wait until tomorrow
Give us this day
Please let me borrow some time
So we can say goodbye

Stuck
On a plane
On a runway
Cheap red eye
It's a one-way

Getting back to you
It takes forever
Will I ever hit the sky?

I think
I might
Be in love with you

I think
I might
Be in love with you

Three
Whole seats
To myself
I'll lie down
And stretch out
But I know that I won't sleep at all
You're all I see when I close my eyes

I think
I might
Be in love with you

I think
I might
Be in love with you

I never had any reason not to roam
But tonight it feels like I'm going home

I think
I might
Be in love with you

I think
I might
Be in love with you

I think
I might
Be in love with you

I think in slow motion
I move in slow motion
Through the smoke
I hear a sound
Through the music
From my brain
To my mouth

When I turn to look at you
With an answer
You have gone
From the room

Like this vodka and cranberry
I drop it eventually
It breaks in slow motion

You called me from your kitchen
You talked at me but you wouldn't listen
You once had me on that floor
Oh yeah

Sweet memory
Sweet lay
Your weight on me
Don't want to pine my days away
But I miss your body

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This cut is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of your lies
I'll let go
In good time

My heart is in the wrong place
I still want to kiss your mean face
Maybe in a month
I'll forgive you for the things you said

Believe me
I hear you
It's so clear
You hurt me
You know where
Standing with a package in the rain full of very heavy air, air

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This wound is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of more lies
I'll let go
In good time

Don't write me when you need me
Don't call me when you want me
Compassion, it's not your problem
I won't go out down that way
I'm getting over it

The sun just won't stop shining
I can't remember why I'm crying
It's in my eyes when I'm driving away
Blinding me to you

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This wound is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of more lies
I'll let go
In good time

Don't write me when you need me
Don't call me when you want me
Compassion, it's not your problem
I won't go out down that way
I'm getting over it

Don't rush me
I'm leaving
This wound is
Still bleeding
From the promise
Of more lies
I'll let go
In good time
Don't rush me / I'm getting over it
Don't rush me / I'm getting over it
Don't rush me
I'm getting over it
I'm getting over it
I'm getting over it ...

Please erase me
If you don't like what you see
My aching body
I give and you receive

I touch you when you sleep
Are you still alive?
Fetishize your beauty
The scars that you don't hide

Am I bad enough?
Am I dark enough?
Didn't know I wanted to
Turn into you

Hey cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Cool rock boy
What will you leave me?
Cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Nothing and everything

Is this heaven or hell?
Losing myself in you
A clean perfect line
Is it what I want to do?

The world gives you everything
My poor baby
Can I feed your pain?
Resolve goes up in flames

Do I sin enough?
Did I say too much?
Do my skin and bones
Get in the way?

Hey cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Cool rock boy
What will you leave me?
Cool rock boy
What will you take from me?
Nothing and everything

You're gonna hate me
You're gonna hate me
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?

Am I in heaven? Am I in hell? X4
Is this heaven? Is it hell? X4
Hey, cool rock boy ..

I withhold your medicine
But you've still got a connection
They remember everything
In the sky, oblivion

I never knew your innocence
Your white skin glistens
You pried my eyes open
I've lost my ambition

I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs
I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs

I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs
I say it's me or drugs
You choose drugs

Drugs, drugs.
