Feeling fine.
Let's rip out yours instead of mine.
And all you need
are several ways to watch me bleed.

Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest.
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this.
Just like this.

Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungreatful for for all you've done here.
For yanking out my...

Honestly.
You, you've friends for all your needs.
And stay the course.
No, the universe ain't yours.

Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest.
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this.
Just like this.

Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungreatful for for all you've done here.
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungreatful for for all you've done here.
For yanking out my...

If I could only see this.
if I could have one good reason.
All my feelings out of season.
Am I to thank for yanking out my...
Yanking out my...

there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Buddy showed me just how fast a car can go
I'll race you for your pink slip right before this show
Throw your girlfriend in the bet to make things good
Cause she's been staring at me like no girlfriend should
Bastards sitting right there on the starting line
Stuck the sugar in your gas tank by myself last night
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Hey there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for me to be at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes i'll be laying out flat on the floor

Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what I did it, I admit it, I played in defence
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Eight minutes I'm losing it a little bit
Five minutes your description might be startin' to fit
Pretty goin' I'm forgetting all that I've ever known
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for being here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Can't stand up alone
Can't say anything at all
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Left on an eastbound train
Gone first thing this morning
Why is what's best for you
Always the worst thing for me
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not through my own misleading
Who'll buy this lie you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore (2x)

Says I'm only tellin half of it
That's probably cause,
There's only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That's when we turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not through my own misleading
Who'll buy this lie you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore (2x)

Says I'm only tellin half of it
That's probably cause,
There's only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That's when we turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I'm tired of haiting
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I'm tired of wating

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not through my own misleading
Who'll buy this lie you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore (2x)

How the hell'd
we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that
we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench
your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been
too much of this
I don't think it's too late
Nothin's wrong
Just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday somehow
I'm gonna make it all right
but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one
who knows that
Someday somehow
I'm gonna make it all right
but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well I'd hoped that
since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always
needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played
out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite
an ending that fit's
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong
Just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday somehow
Gonna make it all right
but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one
who knows that
Someday somehow
I'm gonna make it all right
but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one
who knows that

How the hell'd
we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that

Believe it or not, everyone,
have things that they hide
Believe it or not, everyone,
keep most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone,
believes in something above
Believe it or not, everyone,
needs to feel loved
Feel loved, well we're young
and we won't until we figure out
Can someone believe in us,
and send some kind of sign
So close to giving up,
'cause faith is so hard to find
But you're young and you won't,
until we figure out

Seen it or not, every time,
the world turns upside down
Believe it or not, most of us,
feel like we're losing ground
Believe it or not, everyone,
hated minute fear
Believe it or not, most of us,
wanna know why we're here
Why we're here,
well we're young and we won't until we
figure out
Can someone believe in us,
and send some kind of sign
So close to giving up,
'cause faith is so hard to find

So close to giving up,
'cause faith is so hard to find
But you're young
and you won't, until we figure out

Most of us have nothing to complain about
Most of us have things we can live without
Everyone needs advice on how to get along
You know we won't until we figure out

Believe it or not everyone

Believe it or not, everyone,
have things that they hide
Believe it or not, everyone,
keep most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone,

I missed you so much
that I begged you to fly here to see me
You must have broke down
because you finally said that you would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Cause something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good

For forty-eight hours
I don't think we left my hotel room
She'll show you the sights
because I'm sure I said that I would
We gotta make love just one last time in the shower
Well something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good

Yeah, it's like everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is where it should
This time it's like the two of us
should've brought a stop to fight
Cause something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good
Feelin' way too damn good

Sometimes I think best it left in the memory
It's better kept inside and left for good
But looking back each time they tried to tell me
Well something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good

It's like everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is where it should
This time it's like the two of us
should've probably start to fight
Cause something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good
Feelin' way too damn good

I missed you so much
that I begged you to fly here to see me
You must have broke down
because you finally said that you would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Cause something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good

It's like everytime I turn around

And where it lands is where it should
This time it's like the two of us
should've probably start to fight
Cause something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good

It's on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding
You stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
With what you do
Because of you

You know I can't be there
It's time that you called
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that i see in your eye
I won't stand around and
i won't watch you die
For what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
What you do
What you do
What becomes of

Now that you did this
You ask for forgiveness,
Doctor could you be my priest
You say you're mistaken
But look what you've taken
You laugh as you
laugh through your teeth
With what you do
Because of you

You know I can't be there
It's time that you called
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that i see in your eye
I won't stand around and
i won't watch you die
For what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
What you do
What you do
What becomes of

It's on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding

For what you do

What becomes of you
Do, what you do

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

I love the places that we go
I love the people that you know
I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I love the freckles on your chest
I like the way you like me best
I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress

I love the way you pass the check
I love the good times that you wreck
I love to like your self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

I hate the places that we go
I hate the people that you know
I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

There's clothes all over the floor
Don't remember them being here before
Smell of perfume is in here
Why's lipstick on the mirror
and still I don't understand

No pictures left in the hall
There's three new holes in my wall
Where the hell's my credit card
Why's my wallet in the yard
Still I don't understand

Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other
Why's life gotta be so tough

Should see the look on my face
My shit's all over the place
Why is this happening to me
Why did you take both sets of keys
and still I don't understand

Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other
Why's life gotta be so tough

There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being there before
There are no candles in here
Lipstick still on my mirror
And still I don't understand

And now I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other
Why's life gotta be so tough

Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
When they ask you say it isn't mine

Oooh, you know they're gonna know you lied

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that Ii've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

So keep the way you're feeling out of this
And hide it all until the day you die
The secret's safe at least you thought it was
But you can only keep it for a little while

Oooh, and now you're terrified
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

Baby's sprawled on the bathroom floor
Mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
And when they ask you say it isn't mine

And damn you for thinkin' we would never know
And damn you for thinkin' we would never mind
Only reason that you'd make it this far
You never asked and you never try

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

I'm through of thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived, you slam the door and so do i
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe
that you would leave me for dead

Your turn, you'd rather leave than live and learn
That's why, you want an end and so do I
This time, only leave it all behind
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe
that you would leave me for dead
'Cause I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe
that you would leave me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead

I'm through of thinking of things to say to you
It's true
I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived, you slam the door and so do i

Crowds of screaming superstars
When bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on everyone
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I've been to see you scream to everyone

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

After hours of alcohol
Every club, we've seen 'em all
As long as we don't need to stand in line
Proudest scenes and BILLBOARD dreams
The ladies love those limousines
We know we're gonna off every time

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

He's drunk again it's time to fight
She must have done
something wrong tonight
The living room
becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him
Clenching his hands
She's just a woman
Never Again

I hear her scream from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me Go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up
Dead in his hands She's just a woman
Never Again
Been there before but not like this
Seen it before but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

Just tell the nurse
you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as
it starts to swell
She looks at you
she wants the truth
It's right out there
in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again

Father's a name
you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard Don't hit a lady
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure

He's drunk again it's time to fight
Same old shit
just on a different night
She grabs the gun she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fucking
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger
fast as she can
Never Again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again
Seen it before but not like this
Been there before but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again
Never Again
Never Again

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as
A poor man stealing
Tired of living
like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without
A sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on
a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet?
Yet? Yet? Yet?
No no
Yet? Yet? Yet?
No no
It's not like you
didn't know that
I said I love you and
I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with him must have
Damn near killed you
And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on
a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet?
Yet? Yet? Yet?
No no
Yet? Yet? Yet?
No no
Yet? Yet? Yet?
No no
Yet? Yet? Yet?
No no

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as
A poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me

Yet? Yet?
Are we having fun yet?
Yet? Yet?
Are we having fun yet?
Yet? Yet?
Are we having fun yet?
Yet? Yet?

No no

I paid my last respects this mornin' on an early grave
Already said goodbye, nothin left to say
A tiny church a tiny town and not a tear was spent
Not how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this

Well I'm hating, all of this
I'm hating, all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you somedays
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along, and tore this world out around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning

I've been a loser all my life, I'm not about to change
If you don't like, there's the door, nobody made you stay
There ain't a woman on the planet who can deal with it
Just how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this

Well I'm hating, all of this
I'm hating, all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you somedays
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along, and tore this world out around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning

All of this, All of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you somedays
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along, and tore this world out around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning

Fathers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are
serving meals
In a cafe on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing
on our backs
And all I hear about
is How it's so bad it's so bad
It's too bad it's too bad
Too late so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had
no time to rewind
Let's walk let's talk
Let's talk

You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call and ask from time to time
To make sure we're alI've
But you weren't there
Right when I'm needing you the most
And now I dream about it
is How it's so bad it's so bad
It's too bad it's too bad
Too late so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had
no time to rewind
Let's walk let's talk
It's so bad
It's too bad it's too bad
Too late so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had
no time to rewind
Let's walk let's talk

Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
Made it out
still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
is How it's so bad it's so bad
it's so bad it's so bad
It's too bad it's too bad
Too late so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had
no time to rewind
Let's walk let's talk
It's so bad
It's too bad it's too bad
Too late so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had
no time to rewind
Let's walk let's talk
No time last one let's go

I want to take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break
his mind down
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do

And I want to make him
Regret life since
the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Take back all that
he took from you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break
his mind down
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do

And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break
his mind down
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do

Please don't be too long
while you're gone There ain't
enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time
I stood in line
Just enough to keep me
bouncing off the wall yeah

The new day the new tray
that comes around Pills and all
enough to kill him while he sleeps
Is this the alley we dragged him to
Just off of Hollywood and Normandy
It didn't work like
she said it would
Just like livin in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream
or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
It didn't work like
she said it would
Just like livin in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream
or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency

Please don't be too long
while you're gone There ain't
enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time
I stood in line
Just enough to keep me
bouncing off the wall
It didn't work like
she said it would
Just like livin in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream
or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
It didn't work like
she said it would
Just like livin in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream
or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency

Cherry stem with her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favourite trick she does, One in ten that she's got
Making friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks, by the book, best that money can buy

Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
It keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy

Last chance to dance, out in back of the bar
Shakin' hands, nice to meet you, I don't know who you are
She has a toke and makes a joke about the alley man
Never pleasured from the treasure in a garbage can

Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
It keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy

Cherry stem with her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favourite trick she does, One in ten that she's got
Making friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks, by the book, best that money can buy

Got a criminal record
I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list
and you're last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat
long past due
Walking down the aisle
staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming
where do I hide
And all he asks and I say
hurry inside

He said she said No she don't
Be back before morning
You know she won't
I remember that summer
like yesterday
And I remember his mother
As he was dragged away
I still hear him screaming
where do I hide
And all he asks and I say
hurry inside
A whole lot of memories
Yours and not mine
And he asks and I say
hurry inside

Got a criminal record
I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list
and you're last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat
long past due
Walking down the aisle
staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming
where do I hide
And all he asks and I say
hurry inside
A whole lot of memories
Yours and not mine
And he asks and I say
hurry inside

My hopes just fell
and I can't see
The reason why
why there is blood on my sleeve
And all this time
I thought it mine
But it's not
it's yours and
It's not worth it for me
gets harder every time call you
This life you lead
like swimming in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed
right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal
better ask before you borrow

And I don't see too well
don't sing too well
And I settle to scream
Just grab your shit
and leave with it
They won't make no statues of you
It's not worth it for me
gets harder every time call you
This life you lead
like swimming in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed
right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal
better ask before you borrow
This label theif
find a better title suited for you
This tidal to wave
is coming down upon you

This time I've forgotten
I swear this shit was rotten
This time I believe it
Cause I've seen the shit
you're needin
It's not worth it for me
gets harder every time call you
This life you lead
like swimming in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed
right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal
better ask before you borrow
This label of theif
find a better title suited for you
This tidal to wave
is coming down upon you

Lost it on the chesterfield
Or maybe on a gamblin' wheel
Lost it in a diamond mine
It's dark as hell
And hard to find
You can climb to the Top
of the highest tree
You can look around
But you still won't see
What I'm lookin' for

Where the good times gone
Where the good times gone
All the stupid fun
And all that sht we've done
Where the good times gone
Well I still don't know

Out in the back
In the old corn field
Underneath the tractor wheel
Thought I'd dig till
i'd find it first
Broke my back And died of thirst
You can bribe the devil
You can pray to God
You can sell off
Everything you got
And you still won't know

Where the good times gone
Where the good times gone
All the stupid fun
And all that sht we've done
Where the good times gone
And you still don't know

Saw it on the silver screen
Preacher says
Don't know what it means
Last page ad In a comic book
Bought me a map
Showed me where to look
It ain't carved of stone
Or made of wood
And if you paid for it
Then it's still no good
And you still won't know
What I'm looking for

Where the good times gone
Where the good times gone
All the stupid fun
And all that sht we've done
Where the good times gone

Two men
They started walking
Started talking bout better days
One says to the other
We do it all again
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I got it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel like I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me breathe

Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
Who wins
Well who cares
It always ends up the same
Seems I knew I would

And now I found it
Found I got it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
And now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Would Somebody help me stand
And now I've told them
Already warned them
I didn't want this
Somebody help me breathe

If I was them
Then I wanna be
What I see
If I could drag my life in a moment
Wanna know do you want me to go
Gonna keep it all from ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could

All I ever really wanted was to be the same
Equal treatment never ever comes
and there they go again
All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
If i could take it all back think again
I would

And now I found it
Found I got it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me stand
And now I've told them
I didn't want this
I didn't need this
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me?

Yes he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at 8 years old
Now I'm in love with a girl thats wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small time man
With small time dreams and small time hands
*But
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when i say i dunno
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought

Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
Was that that bad for me
If I was there the scotch is free
Won round one but its not over
He don't care cause he don't know her
True love is not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame

*Repert

If I was big
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Don't lie to me
You lied to me

I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind, Stay and see
They've all gone, Why don't we
Holding hands, you and me
But I'm as high as i'll ever be
But later on, lies to see
My past is gone, only from me
I'm alive

*Repeat

Remember when it was me
Driving come down just for me
And then we'll try as we've been

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow

So turn the television off
and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breath
Cause I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten

One day, up to a cliff
That overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
It was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher

Shes old enough
She knows enough
Shes thrown up
So throw her
Out to me
And I'll treat her like she was mine
Let my belief
You got your way and I'll get mine

*And I can't eat
I can't sleep
I want to thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion

Should have known enough
Never grown enough
Alone enough
To know my

Where would be
The path I wanted to try
If it fairs to be
Good for me than I'd rather die

*Repeat

Black words always lead to something
Bury her cause her time was cut thin
All the while you just stood and stared
Never cared to help we just got carried away

Lately it seems like my dreams have started to die
It occured to me on the inside I guess so have I

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
I want to thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in the last ones coming

Standing here with my two feet
Enjoy it now cause it won't be
Some way
Some how
The things that keep me alive
aren't livin here anymore

They usually come around about 10 o'clock
You can hear them
You can tell them by the way they knock
Somebody said the other one had a badge
Who told ya' Who told ya
How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

They're growin' dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it
You can tell by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told ya' Who told ya

How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

I'll never do it again 'No I wont'
Lets settle it 'We don't
I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted

We never do anything anymore
One on the telephone' one on the door
Somebody said revenge was served sweeter cold
I told ya' I told ya
They're growing dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it you can tell it by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told ya' Who told ya

How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

I'll never do it again 'No I wont'
Let's settle it 'We don't'
I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted

I'll never do it again 'No I won't'
Praise myself 'I don't'
I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
What you wanted

You say you don't want it
Just watch and you'll flaunt it
You stare at the ceiling
And ignore what I'm feeling

Well that's fine, hey I don't mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh by the way can you get on with it?

Now that I've seen
Not really Diggin This!

Did I ask for your input?
How's the taste of your own foot?
To speak and not be right
You'd like to just rewrite
My life and take what you like
And decide with all of it
And to know that if it goes right
You'll never find out if I wanted it

Now that I've seen
Not really Diggin This!
Now that I know
Not really Diggin This!

Called him twice today
They said he went away
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him
Ain't never comin' back
Pull out the welcome mat
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him

The way that its goin'
To laugh without knowin'
The way that I'm feelin'
Inside is unappealin'

Well that's fine, hey I don't mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh by the way can you get on with it?

Now that I've seen
Not really Diggin This!
Now that I know
Not really Diggin This!
Not really Diggin This!

And you see much better than I see
And you know all that I'm thinking
To define or redefine too slow
And it seems all that I'm sinking

*Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some

And you bleed much better than I bleed
And you've shown all that is so good
And your word, much better than my word
And you stand right where a hole should

*Repeat

To feel devine
To hold onto ones self
To give and to give and
To never receive by myself

Running through the deep (I want it)
Gonna find the backwoods (I need it)
I found out (much more than he did)
All day long who will be the big men giving some
(give it back somehow)
Giving some (I'm ready to forgive now)

Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
Running through the deep gonna find the back backwoods
I found out gonna get it gonna get it
All day long who will be the big men
are you really really gonna get it

Best of friends where'd they all go
Try to find but no one ever knows
This small town makes you wanna stay
Who the hell would want to anyway
Well I'm leavin'

And I want it all
Thought I got it all
Then I finally saw
And I found out where it's all at

Better now than all before
Tried it once now I want it more
Memories all cut in half
Tell the truth then I watch 'em laugh
I'm not laughing

And I want it all
Thought I got it all
Then I finally saw
And I found out where it's all at

Sell it all
Watch and learn
Sell it all
Watch it burn

Steal a car
We're all headed south
You know the score so just shut your mouth
One more run then I want out
Not like them I'd rather go without
Without needing

And I want it all
Thought I got it all
Then I finally saw
And I found out where it's all at

Come lie next to me Jesus Christ
Holes in hand where a cross used to fit just right
The meeting called, the topic: a ladies fate
You don't have to remind me
I won't be late

Please excuse me, I'm sorry I just can't wait
And don't use grandfather as the bait

Down the hall the baby boy just born
Rosary around a crown of thorns

Please excuse me, I'm sorry I just can't wait
And don't use grandfather as the bait

Can't you see the lady's not ready
hands and fee are bound and unsteady
In the hall the family's greiving
I'm the one who stays
I'm not leavin' yet

All men with stars upon the chest
Save yourselves, your family, don't worry 'bout the rest
Small child receives light through the crack
A human mile, ain't never coming back
Hold out your hand and ask for some

Now and again she sits beneath the tree
The sign above reads
Hard Work Will Set You Free
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Too late for another direction
Always what they had in store
Hurry back we've all been waiting
We can't take much anymore
Where are the days when brothers were brothers
A childless mother
Leave it except for
Leave it except for one

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow

I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow

So turn the television off
and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breath
Cause I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten

One day, up to a cliff
That overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
It was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher

How the hell'd
we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that
we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench
your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been
too much of this
I don't think it's too late
Nothin's wrong
Just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday somehow
I'm gonna make it all right
but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one
who knows that
Someday somehow
I'm gonna make it all right
but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well I'd hoped that
since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always
needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played
out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite
an ending that fit's
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong
Just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday somehow
Gonna make it all right

Feeling fine.
Let's rip out yours instead of mine.
And all you need
are several ways to watch me bleed.

Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest.
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this.
Just like this.

Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungrateful for for all you've done here.
For yanking out my...

All my feelings out of season.
Am I to thank for yanking out my...

there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Buddy showed me just how fast a car can go
I'll race you for your pink slip right before this show
Throw your girlfriend in the bet to make things good
Cause she's been staring at me like no girlfriend should
Bastards sitting right there on the starting line
Stuck the sugar in your gas tank by myself last night
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Hey there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
