Kate Voegele

Love is simple
It's the simple things that make me smile
It's clear as crystal
I'm right where I should be
You're one of a kind
I know it, you know it
It's all right love

'Cause oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
And oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see
Oh I'm in love with all I see

There's a new moon
Shining on the sea
And in your eyes
I can see truth
Staring back at me
It shines so bright
I know it, you know it
And it's all right love

'Cause oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
And oh oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see

Oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
And oh oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see
Oh I'm in love with all I see

So you set out to find the sky like a rocketship
And from on this ground you looked so fine
You insisted you weren't drifting
That someday you'll be back to take me with you
But now you've better things to do

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see I was worth it all
And down on my knees ain't where I need to be
I'm gone, ain't gonna beg you to fall

Oh maybe one day you'll arrive
Like you never left
And find that while you were learning to fly
Well you taught me the best
Damn lesson
I will never waste a second on talking you into loving me
My breath is far too precious

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see I was worth it all
And down on my knees ain't where I need to be
I'm gone, ain't gonna beg you to fall...

For me if your heart's not in it
But could you make sure you break me gently
'Cause you're everything I've been living for
Well not anymore

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see that I'm worth it

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see I was worth it all
And down on my knees ain't where I need to be
I'm gone, ain't gonna beg you to fall

Don't wanna beg you to fall

I don't know what to do
But stare into space
Wish I could shut my eyes

I used to sleep at night
I used to feel safe
But now I'm terrified

So take away
This darkness in the air
It's like black flames
Are everywhere
Someone say
There's hope on the way

Oh can you shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count, can't you see our hearts are breaking harder
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
We're burning the harbor

We took a holy place
We taught it violence
And called it efficiency

We've seen the hell it creates
But we've chosen silence
And kept it viciously

So take away
This darkness in the air
It's like black flames
Are everywhere
Someone say
There's hope on the way

Oh can you shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count, can't you see our hearts are breaking harder
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
We're burning the harbor

Maybe we need a second chance
Maybe it's out of our hands
Maybe it's time we take a stand

Oh can you shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count, can't you see our hearts are breaking harder
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?

Oh shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count can't you see our hearts are breaking harder
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
We're burning the harbor

Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
So we're burning the harbor
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
You know we're burning the harbor

Oh my darling I'm so far in, I can't see my feet
Your water deep is washing over me
Fifty states must separate us but it only makes me see
How much you mean

When your whisper brought me outta my slumber
I stumbled under some kind of spell
Now the distance gives me reason to wonder
How I'll recover from our farewell

Cause these days, doesn't matter what you say
I'm a mess when you're away
And unless you come back,
I'll be one step closer to insane
It's enough to keep me lyin' wide awake
Counting the ways that I miss you babe

Complications, conversations, late into the night
I'm over the same old hello goodbye
So leave me speechless, I miss that feeling
With each lonely evening that goes by, I can't describe

Well San Francisco has a way with the summer
And fall does a number to New York City
But regardless of the season above us
You're doing something that's sure to get me

Cause these days, doesn't matter what you say
I'm a mess when you're away
And unless you come back,
I'll be one step closer to insane
It's enough to keep me lyin' wide awake
Counting the ways that I miss you babe

Save me, give my troubled heart
What it's been aching daily for
I'm hoping, you know me enough to see
That I can't be alone anymore

These days, doesn't matter what you say
I'm a mess when you're away
And unless you come back,
I'll be one step closer to insane
It's enough to keep me lyin' wide awake
Counting the ways that I miss you babe, ooh-oh
Counting the ways I miss you babe

Tell me where'd the day go
I'm lyin' wide awake wonderin'
How it escaped
The sun gone away
Lately there's a part of me
Thinkin' soon enough I'll be ten
more years old
The next thing I know
Well I'm not about to
let that happen
Call me drastic and old fashioned
I think it's time that we take a
drive down the scenic route
Baby sitting round here and
talking 'bout it
well it doesn't count
Can we slow down
just take our time
Close our eyes and
just enjoy the ride
I remember last year I told
myself I'd take every
picture and chance
Like each day was my last
It's easy saying things like that
But life has got a way of
distracting your dreams
And handing you worries
I'm not about to let that happen
Call me drastic and old fashioned
I think it's time that we set
our sights on the here and now
Baby sitting round here and
talking 'bout it doesn't count
Can we slow down
just take our time
Close our eyes and just
enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride
Well I think it's time that we take a
drive down the scenic route
Baby sitting round here and
talking 'bout
well it doesn't count
Can we slow down
just take our time
Oh we slow down
just take our time
We just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride
We just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride
We just enjoy the ride

You dry my eyes with your long sleeve
Your sweatshirt’s way too big on me - but its perfect
You hate my taste in DVDs
When I let you drive the red GT and you get nervous

Laying in your arms is like the first snow
Delicate yet takes my breath away

Say you’re forever
Say that your heart’s going to stay
Yeah

You’re stubborn man; I’m worse
You know your smile’s like that country road in Virginia
You know you never let me win on Nintendo
And that’s bullshit in my opinion

But you can spin my bad days into pure gold
With just the touch of your hand on my waist

Say you’re forever
Say that your heart’s going to stay
Yeah

You, you’re who I love
Ooh, this is enough for always

You asked to dance and I got shy
And you said honey there’s no time for excuses
Barefoot on Hermosa Beach
And we just let that ocean breeze be the music

You’re the only thing worth coming home to
And its how I want to end all of my days

Say you’re forever
Say that your heart’s going to stay

You, you’re who I love
Ooh, this is enough for always

You’re the reason this singing heart is beating
Love, it’s easy now.
Summer evenings won’t keep me like a secret
I won’t let you down.

You, you’re who I love
Ooh, this is enough for always

If your travels ever take you to sea
Then I'd say to you to dip in your feet
And if you battle the wind along the way
Then I tell you to challenge the waves

It's a world of peculiar people
And places that look nothing like home
But it keeps turning - and turning even

Though gravity happens...
We don't know it till after we've hit the ground
And the world's spinning faster
With each day that passes, and each dashing hour
What am I to do when I've broken my parachute?
Well if gravity happens, then I'll fasten wings to my shoes

I have gathered that the moments that shaped me
Were the ones that have tested my faith
All that matters is the courage they gave me
I fell down, my fears were erased

In the wreckage of heartache and hindsight
A new beginning starts to unfold
If you let it, it just might save your life

Because gravity happens...
We don't know it till after we've hit the ground
The world's spinning faster
With each day that passes, and each dashing hour
What am I to do? I've broken my parachute
Well if gravity happens, then I'll fasten wings to my shoes

I'm not gonna let the world get me down, no
I've got so much more to live for
I'm starting right now

'Cause gravity happens...
And we don't know it till after we've hit the ground
And the world's spinning faster
With each day that passes, and each dashing hour
What am I to do? I've broken my parachute
Well if gravity happens, then I'll fasten wings to my shoes

It's been a week since I've heard your voice now
You know it seems like a hundred years
It's hard to sleep, it's a bit alarming
I'm a mess when you're not here
And it's a simple curse I'm not the first
Oh but it's a vicious hurt and it just gets worse

Oh, because you know me well
Like a child knows a mother's face
Oh and I don't have to tell you
You've got my heart in
Got my heart in chains
Tears on my pillowcase, yeah yeah
But I don't want it any other way, no no

Your attention is my addiction
A roller-coaster of highs and lows
I need your venom it's been in my system
Since the second we said hello
You love me deep, but I'm incomplete
Baby, every time you leave I get so weak

Oh, because you know me well
Like a child knows a mother's face
Oh and I don't have to tell you
You've got my heart in
Got my heart in chains
Tears on my pillowcase, yeah yeah
But I don't want it any other way, no no

Don't leave me helpless
Don't leave me lost
Don't leave me waiting
You're all I've got

Don't leave me helpless
Don't leave me lost
Don't leave me waiting
You're all I've got

Oh, because you know me well
Like a child knows a mother's face
Oh and I don't have to tell you
You've got my heart in
Got my heart in chains
Tears on my pillowcase, yeah yeah
I don't want it any other way, no no
You know me well
I don't want it any other way, no no
You know me well
I don't want it any other way, no no

All I can say is things didn’t go as I planned
Seems everyday I’m learning it’s out of my hands
And coming to terms is harder than ever before
When you would give anything to know what all of this is for
Well there are things that I cannot change now
But these are strings that I will untangle

Give me a high road to rise up and follow
I’ll keep my eyes closed and breathe
And give me a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I’ll never look down at my feet

Somebody thought if you can let down your pride
You won’t be afraid; fear is not a safe place to hide
And I was convinced I’d never win your love, no
But I didn’t see all I really needed was my own
And there are things that I can’t explain now
But it's not too late, and I am so thankful

That I got a high road to rise up and follow
I’ll keep my eyes closed and breathe
Give me a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I’ll never look down at my feet

I’ve been down enough times to know it’s no good
And I’m working overtime, just thinking I should
Carry all of this weight around
I’m finding out that I never could
I never could

So give me a high road to rise up and follow
I’ll keep my eyes closed and breathe
And give me a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I’ll never look down at my feet
Never look down at my feet

We we're young in the summer of some year I don't quite recall
But it feels like yesterday
I was teaching you guitar on the hood of your pick up under the stars
You were in town for the holiday
When you left I took a moment
Got a coffee and set off in my car
Just to be where you are
Well I had to drive all night
To get to you
I thought I'd lost my mind
But I just knew
That we would be so fine
And I was right
And now I know

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

Now we're sitting on the front porch with the only dinner I know how to make
With a Neil Young record on
A boardgame by the fireside turns into a pillow fight as always
Oh this is where I belong
You had me up all night
Just like you do
I laugh so hard I cry
When I'm next to you
You're brightness is a virus
That lights up the room
And know I know

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

And when I feel your touch
I still get such a rush
Your body next to mine
Go head and drive me wild

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

I been holding on for eternity,
Waiting on your love,
I let you lead me on so perfectly,
I think I've had enough I'm tired of dancing around it,
I'm not wired that way,
I'm getting fired up thinking about it,
Gotta be honest.

I ain't never been a patient girl baby i ain't built like this,
The way you're taking your time has got me jumpin ship,
And I won't lie let's call this what it is,
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish.

Baby I'm allowed to want an answer now,
Wouldn't you say that's fair,
Can you help me out cause i'm breaking down,
Do you even care that I'm losing my mind every minute,
Don't you do me like that,
Don't you know you're pushing my heart to a limit,
Wont you listen.

I aint never been a patient girl baby i ain't built like this,
The way you're taking your time has got me jumpin ship,
And I won't lie let's call this what it is,
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish.

And I won't spend the rest of my life,
Hoping for a sign
You can't just leave me out to dry.

I ain't built like this,
The way you're taking your time has got me jumpin ship,
And I won't lie let's call this what it is,
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish.
(Repeat)

I got this ticket in my hand
And I got a long long day ahead
And I got a hell of a lot of reasons to be sad
But I've got a hundred more that keep me coming back

I've got these worn out red boots on
And I got a brand new favorite song
And can name some people who'd say that I've got it all wrong
But I know plenty more who've been there all along

And I'd rather make sandcastles
Instead of these wide world decisions
I knew I knew it all was catching up to me yeah
And I don't have a plan at all
But I got this six string religion
And I do I do believe a song can heal me
It's enough for me, yeah

I had this picture in my head
Of where I oughta be and when
But it's just like the good advice that John gave when he said
Life it happens while we're busy makin' plans

Where I'm laughing is where I'm home
But you know how fast it makes the time go
And there was nothin' like the very first time that I saw open road
And wasn't terrified to ride it on my own

I got my heart in the right place
But that place is millions of miles away
And I suppose I never will know the perfect words to say
But I'll keep searching til they find me one fine day

Bit my tongue for too long
My patience gets a bit thin
I gotta tell ya the way that it is
Well I think you know this is something different we've started
We're more than ordinary
There's something about the way that the world looks
Brighter when I'm next to you

'Cause no one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take, take, take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say, say, say you're mine
Mine
You're mine

Let's get ourselves out of town
We'll take the last train out
I got a million things I wanna know
Oh, it's easy baby
With us there's nowhere we can't go
And this love doesn't scare me
'Cause I'm running out of reasons not to feel this
I can tell you're dying to try

'Cause no one's gonna love you like I will

Darlin' you can just take, take, take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say, say, say you're mine
Mine
You're mine

Well, don't you wonder what it'd be like
Underneath the streetlights, you and me
With the city wrapped around us
If no one ever found us
It's fine with me

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you just take, take, take your time

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take, take, take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say, say, say you're mine

You're mine
You're mine

I want a violet bicycle
flip flops and sand
between my toes
These are the beautiful
things in life
So give me that off the
shoulder dress
The one that the boys
will never forget
I want just a
little bit more from life
Maybe I should pack my bags and
fly to Costa Rica
Put a flower in my hair a
dancing senorita
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see a
sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a sunshine in my sky
Let's go skinny dip tonight
Under the cotton candy skies
Would you if I asked you
A campfire and a backyard game
Fireflies and electric lemonade
And I can't keep my eyes off you
We could pack our bags and
fly to Costa Rica
You could swing me low and
call me Rosalita
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see a
sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Wouldn't it be nice to know we
Could make a great escape
to paradise
Cause me I'm cold as ice
If you could wrap the
sun around me
And lay me down safe and
soundly I would die
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see a
sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Put a little sunshine in my sky

So you set out to find the sky like a rocketship

Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
So we're burning the harbor
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
You know we're burning the harbor

Tell me where'd the day go
I'm lying wide awake wondering
How it escaped
the sun gone away
Lately there's a part of me
Thinking soon enough
I'll be ten more years old
The next thing I know
Well, I'm not about to
let that happen
Call me drastic and old fashioned
I think it's time that we take
A drive down the scenic route
Baby, sitting round here
talking 'bout it
Well, it doesn't count
Can we slow down
And just take our time
Close our eyes
And just enjoy the ride
I remember last year I told myself
I'd take every picture and chance
Like each day was my last
Well, it's easy
saying things like that
But life has got a way
Of distracting your dreams
And handing you worries
I'm not about to let that happen
Call me drastic and old fashioned

I won’t let you down.

You, you’re who I love

I was teaching you guitar on the hood of your pick up under the stars
You were in town for the holiday
When you left I took a moment
Got a coffee and set off in my car
Just to be where you are
Well I had to drive all night
To get to you
I thought I'd lost my mind
But I just knew
That we would be so fine
And I was right
And now I know

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

Now we're sitting on the front porch with the only dinner I know how to make
With a Neil Young record on
A boardgame by the fireside turns into a pillow fight as always
Oh this is where I belong
You had me up all night
Just like you do
I laugh so hard I cry
When I'm next to you
You're brightness is a virus
That lights up the room
And know I know

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

And when I feel your touch
I still get such a rush
Your body next to mine
Go head and drive me wild

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You've got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

I been holding on for eternity,
Waiting on your love,
I let you lead me on so perfectly,
I think I've had enough I'm tired of dancing around it,
I'm not wired that way,
I'm getting fired up thinking about it,
Gotta be honest.

I ain't never been a patient girl baby i ain't built like this,
The way you're taking your time has got me jumpin ship,
And I won't lie let's call this what it is,
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish.

Baby I'm allowed to want an answer now,
Wouldn't you say that's fair,
Can you help me out cause i'm breaking down,
Do you even care that I'm losing my mind every minute,
Don't you do me like that,
Don't you know you're pushing my heart to a limit,
Wont you listen.

I aint never been a patient girl baby i ain't built like this,
The way you're taking your time has got me jumpin ship,
And I won't lie let's call this what it is,
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish.

And I won't spend the rest of my life,
Hoping for a sign
You can't just leave me out to dry.

I ain't built like this,
The way you're taking your time has got me jumpin ship,
And I won't lie let's call this what it is,
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish.
(Repeat)

I got this ticket in my hand
And I got a long long day ahead
And I got a hell of a lot of reasons to be sad
But I've got a hundred more that keep me coming back

I've got these worn out red boots on
And I got a brand new favorite song
And can name some people who'd say that I've got it all wrong
But I know plenty more who've been there all along

And I'd rather make sandcastles
Instead of these wide world decisions
I knew I knew it all was catching up to me yeah
And I don't have a plan at all
But I got this six string religion
And I do I do believe a song can heal me
It's enough for me, yeah

I had this picture in my head
Of where I oughta be and when
But it's just like the good advice that John gave when he said
Life it happens while we're busy makin' plans

Where I'm laughing is where I'm home
But you know how fast it makes the time go
And there was nothin' like the very first time that I saw open road
And wasn't terrified to ride it on my own

I got my heart in the right place
But that place is millions of miles away
And I suppose I never will know the perfect words to say
But I'll keep searching til they find me one fine day

Bit my tongue for too long
My patience gets a bit thin
I gotta tell ya the way that it is
Well I think you know this is something different we've started
We're more than ordinary
There's something about the way that the world looks
Brighter when I'm next to you

'Cause no one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take, take, take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say, say, say you're mine
Mine
You're mine

Let's get ourselves out of town
We'll take the last train out
I got a million things I wanna know
Oh, it's easy baby
With us there's nowhere we can't go
And this love doesn't scare me
'Cause I'm running out of reasons not to feel this
I can tell you're dying to try

'Cause no one's gonna love you like I will

Darlin' you can just take, take, take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say, say, say you're mine
Mine
You're mine

Well, don't you wonder what it'd be like
Underneath the streetlights, you and me
With the city wrapped around us
If no one ever found us
It's fine with me

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you just take, take, take your time

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take, take, take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say, say, say you're mine

You're mine
You're mine

I want a violet bicycle
flip flops and sand
between my toes
These are
the beautiful things in life
So give me that
off the shoulder dress
The one that
the boys will never forget
I want just
a little bit more from life
Maybe I should pack my bags
and fly to Costa Rica
Put a flower in my hair
a dancing senorita
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing
to see a sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Let's go skinny dip tonight
Under the cotton candy skies
Would you if I asked you
A campfire and a backyard game
Fireflies and electric lemonade
And I can't keep my eyes off you
We could pack our bags
and fly to Costa Rica
You could swing me low
and call me Rosalita
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see
a sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Wouldn't it be nice to know we
Could make a great escape
to paradise
'Cause me I'm cold as ice
If you could wrap the sun
around me
And lay me down
safe and soundly
I would die
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see
a sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Put a little sunshine in my sky

So, you see
You’ve got me back again for more
And it seems
Your song is in my head
This is war
Mystery; how I could feel you breathe me

I was sure you would keep
Every promise; you would keep
Every word

Well,
I try to put your stories in line
But nothing adds up right

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
I’m getting out tonight
And you’re not invited

Its a shame
That you left me hanging like you did
It was brave
But it was much more foolish
Don’t you think?
Cause you know I wont be satisfied
Until you realize

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
Im getting out tonight
And you’re not invited

These things are oh, all so typical
These things are unforgivable
I’m gone and you’re invisible now
Don’t let me catch you followin
Don’t ask, cause I’m not offering
You’ve caused enough of my suffering, oh

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
I’m getting out tonight

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
I’m getting out tonight
And you’re not invited

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again
I’ve got something hanging over my head
I was laying on your shoulder
Perfectly content
Until you told me all over again

I ain’t got no sob story to write
But just like everyone else I’m living this life an
Don’t need to win me over
And there ain’t no other side
To shelter me from all the wrong where I decide

But you say we don’t mess around
You’ve got no freedom to come down
We don’t take angels from the sky
Oh no
But we don’t mess around
You’re meant to be among the clouds
Cause you’re an angel
But that’s a lie
Oh oh oh

Well I suppose you think that I’m so flattered to hear
That I’m a whispered conscience in your ear, yeah
And that’s exactly the reason that I never fit in here
Well nothings ever that black and white my dear
No

But you say we don’t mess around
You’ve got no freedom to come down
We don’t take angels from the sky
Oh no
We don’t mess around
You’re meant to be among the clouds
Cause you’re an angel
But that’s a lie
Oh oh oh

I’m not your angel darling
I’m not your angel darling
I am never gonna be

I’m not your angel darling
I’m not your angel darling
I am never gonna be

We don’t mess around
You’ve got no freedom to come around
We don’t take angels from the sky
Oh no no no
But we don’t mess around
You’re meant to be among the clouds
Cause you’re an angel
But that’s a lie (x3)

Ain’t never gonna be

So the story goes on down
A less traveled road.
It's a variation on the one I was told,
And although it's not the same,
It's awful close
In an ordinary fairy tale land,
There's a promise of a perfect happy end.
And I imagine having just short of that,
Is better than nothing

So you'll be mine,
Forever and almost always,
And I'll be fine,
Just love me when you can
And I'll wait patiently,
I'll wake up everyday
Just hoping that,
You still care

In the corner of my mind,
I know too well,
Oh that surely even I,
Deserve the best
But instead of leaving,
I just put the issue to bed,
And out of my head...

Oh and just when I believe,
You've changed for good.
Well you go and prove me wrong,
Just like I knew you would
When I've run out of second chances,
You give me that look,
And you're off the hook...

Because you're mine,
Forever and almost always,
And I'll be fine,
Just love me when you can
And I'll wait patiently,
I'll wake up everyday
Just hoping that,
You still care

What am I still doing here?
It's all becoming so clear...

You'll be mine,
Forever and almost always,
It ain't right
To just love me when you can
I won't wait patiently,
Or wake up everyday
Just hoping that,
You'll still care
Forever and almost always,
No it ain't right
To just love me when you can, baby
Ain't gonna wait patiently,
I won't wake up every day
Just hoping that,
You'll still care...

In fairness I was an easy sell
Though I’m embarrassed
To admit it to myself
And the worst part is
You know it all too well
So don’t take advantage
Of my transparent shell, no

But I think you know what I need
Impossible as it may seem
And I think it’s easy to see

I am awake, it’s getting late
I’m in no state to be alone now
Yeah I’m alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I’m losing all control now
I don’t even know how
But I’m in your rip tide
And now I’m inside out

I’m in the corner of the street cafe
And my heart is warmer
Since I heard from you today

Like a shallow creek I am gleaming
No chance of keeping any secrets
Have I lost enough security yet?

I am awake, it’s getting late
I’m in no state to be alone now
Yeah I’m alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I’m losing all control now
I don’t even know how
But I’m in your rip tide
And now I’m inside out

I tried to hide it, I can’t deny it
Now I’m inside out
Say you love me, yeah all or nothing, oh
Now I’m inside out

I am awake, it’s getting late
I’m in no state to be alone now
Yeah I’m alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I’m losing all control now
I don’t even know how

I am awake, it’s getting late
I’m in no state to be alone now
(And now I’m inside out)
Yeah I’m alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I’m losing all control now
(And now I’m inside out)
I don’t even know how
But I’m in your rip tide
And now I’m inside out

This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle
I’ve seen high and I’ve seen low

So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up
To pack up and leave town

But even so I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me

So can you lift me up
And turn the ashes into flames
Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I’ve been given hope
That there’s a light on up the hall
And that a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Somewhere, everybody starts there
Counting on a small prayer
Lost in a nightmare

But I’m here and suddenly it’s so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears

And everything that’s worth having
Comes with trials worth withstanding

So can you lift me up
And turn the ashes into flames
Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I’ve been given hope
That there’s a light on up the hall
And that a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Oh lift me up, oh lift me up, oh lift me up
Oh lift me up, oh lift me up, oh lift me up
Down and out is overrated
I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough
No, I would rather rise above

So can you lift me up?
And turn the ashes into flames
Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I’ve been given hope
That there’s a light on up the hall
And that a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Oh, oh, just begun
Lift me up
Oh, oh, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Baby
Whatcha doing today
what are you doing later
I don’t know my way through a maze of gray skyscrapers
But I’m willing to learn

If you want me to I’ll stay just where I am
But I promise just to follow when I land
And you can take my word for that

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I’m way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

Daises
Once upon an old daydream, that’s what you gave me
Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th street, on a rainy afternoon
(Well) I could start discovering your world
And I would make a damn good city girl
Things would start to bloom, I’m sure

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I’m way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

I know you want me to see don’t lie to me
Why you gotta go be so shy to me?
I ain’t buying the false anxiety let your fortress fall
What’s it gonna take to get you there?
If fear was money you’d be a millionaire
Or all alone in a leather swivel chair counting stacks of gold
Oh oh
You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I’m way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around ohhh

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I’m way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.
Oh ohh ohh oh

A little tough love
Never hurt nobody
Never saw this coming,
This side of me
I know where you’re goin’
With your sugar-laced talkin’
And it wasn’t too hard to see

You think you got me
Right where you want me
You think you got the whole story
I think that a proper fair warning
Might serve you well
So I’m here to tell you

It’s not too late
To do yourself a favor
And walk away
Though I know that’s never been your nature
By the way
You’ve put yourself in danger cause you’re
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
You’re playing with my heart

Every good girl’s got a real good reason
To believe in breaking
All the rules sometimes
And I’m that girl baby you’re that reason
And your scheming
Has caused me to cross the line

You lie but I’m a pretty good liar
You chose a game I can play better
You’re bright, oh but baby I’m clever
So you might as well
Let me tell you

It’s not too late
To do yourself a favor
And walk away
Though I know that’s never been your nature
By the way
You’ve put yourself in danger cause you’re
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
You’re playing with my heart

For heaven’s sake what are you thinking baby?
You won’t catch what you’ve been chasing
Trust me when I say I can keep you running
But I’m not coming oh I won’t come around

It’s not too late
To do yourself a favor
And walk away
Though I know that’s never been your nature
By the way
You’ve put yourself in danger cause you’re
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
You’re playing with my heart

A little tough love
Never hurt nobody

Been here before
Revolving door
We’re caught up and I don’t know what for
Anymore

We had the best
And nothing less
But the second we fell out of step
You up and left

This is so you this is what you do
You’d rather make do than make a move
What’ll it take now how do I make
This matter enough to you?

Say you’re a mess
Say it’s a shame
Why can’t you at least pretend?
Say I should leave
You’re over me
Say something, say anything
Anything
Say anything
Please

What happened to
The plans we made
And that contagious smile upon your face?
It’s all begun to fade

You used to be
So careful with me
Making sure that we would always be
Each other’s missing piece

Well we can still save
These tattered pages
What do you say we
Start over baby?

This is our chance
And you’re all I have
Don’t let me slip through your hands

Say you’re a mess
Say it’s a shame
Why can’t you at least pretend?
Say I should leave
You’re over me
Say something, say anything
Anything
Say anything
Please

You know I miss you
You know I wish you
Missed me too, baby tell me you do

Say you’re a mess
Say it’s a shame
Why can’t you at least pretend?
Say I should leave
You’re over me
Say something, say anything
Anything
Say anything
Please

Well I’m going home downhearted and hoping
I’m close to some new beginning
I know there’s a reason for everything
That comes and goes

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I’m just surviving
And I may be weak but I’m never defeated
And I’ll keep believing
In clouds with that sweet silver lining

Most days I try my best to put on a brave face
But inside my bones are cold and my heart breaks
But all the while something’s keeping me safe
And alive

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I’m just surviving
And I may be weak but I’m never defeated
And I’ll keep believing
In clouds with that sweet silver lining

And I won’t give up like this
I will be given strength
Now that I’ve found it
Oh, nothing can take that away

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I’m just surviving
And I may be weak but I’m never defeated
And I’ll keep believing

So many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I’m just surviving
And I may be weak but I’m never defeated
And I’ll keep believing
In clouds with that sweet silver lining

Sweet silver lining

How many times have you used that line?
Did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?

Is ‘I love you baby’ second nature by now?
Cause it sounds awful rehearsed
When the words leave your mouth

I don’t know why but it seems
That I’m not the first to have heard this speech
Is this a routine you just repeat?
Cause I don’t mean to presume
That you don’t love me like you say you do but
You’re gonna have to prove that you’re true
And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

Your performance deserves an academy award
And it’s a double edged sword cause I sure feel adored

But just between us I’d rather see you slip up
Don’t you know that it’s those
Less than perfect words I can’t get enough of

Maybe I’m outta my head
But I’m telling you baby that I’ve been misled
So if the record’s off well could you get it set?
I don’t mean to presume
That you don’t love me like you say you do but
You’re gonna have to prove that you’re true
And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

Well you’ve proven your charm is a crime
Oh and ooooh why don’t you see
The harm in relying on this disguise
You’re losing me with every little wink of the eye

The end of my rope is slipping out of my hold
So if you’re clever you’d better do some damage control

I don’t know why but it seems
You’ve made a game of making a fool outta me
And I did not sign up to be
Your tongue-in-cheek, hey oh yeah
I don’t mean to presume
That you don’t love me like you say you do but
You’re gonna have to prove that you’re true
And you’re not just talkin’ smooth
Oh can you prove you’re not just talkin’ smooth

the city sleeps
so silently
wish I could say the same for me
but I’ve got this dead ended street
to keep searching

for a tunnel underneath the bitter truth
or a bridge invisible I won’t fall through

and I don’t know how much I can keep
letting you unravel me
cause the more you learn the more we share
we were worlds apart and you see
it was so much easier to be
cause now I know what we can’t have and it’s so unfair

I never meant
most of those pretty words I said
but I wanted you to think I did
cause telling you all this makes no difference
it’s useless

cause those who get to know our hearts the most
they always seem to be the ones we’ll never hold

chorus

can’t you see it’s destroying me?
I can’t stand the closeness
but don’t you dare go avoiding me
it kills me and yet it keeps me going

chorus

Pretty girls, they have it easy
Living the strawberry kiwi life, ah

And me, I just fill up on coffee
And let the caffeine do the talking, ah

I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you’d been mine

If I was an English teacher
I probably could get you to dance with me

Cause Robert Frost is in your wallet
The road less whatever you call it, ah

I’ll always miss you and I’ll always wish you'd been mine

And love I'm afraid
That after tonight
There won't be a way to see you
But just for the sake of our storyline
I'll wait a day to break the bad news

So I'll buy myself a cheap apartment
And I'll buy my heart a secret compartment ah, yeah

And when your memory starts to surface
I'll toast to mistakes made on purpose yeah, oh

I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you'd been mine

It takes an idealist to know one
And me and you we've had that going for us, yeah

And we the dreamers chase forever
So at least in that we'll be together oh
I guess
Well i'll always miss you and i'll always wish you'd been mine
Yeah I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you'd been mine

Put me up on a pedestal
I’ve got nowhere to go but down
You expect the impossible
And it’s too much to carry around

Well you tell me I’m beautiful
It feels empty and I don’t know why
But it seems that you’re searching me
For something you’re not gonna find

I’m not your anchor
So don’t hold on
I’m not the answer
You’ve got me wrong
I’m not your savior
Save your energy
To find out who you are
Who you are without me

Wide awake lying next to you
Being careful to get the words right
See it hurts me to tell you this
But it kills me to keep it inside

And I’m in love with the present tense
Making plans is overrated to me
And I don’t speak in guarantees
Or at least not the kind that you need

I’m not your anchor
So don’t hold on
I’m not the answer
You’ve got me wrong
I’m not your savior
Save your energy
To find out who you are
Who you are without me

Well I still believe in
Happy endings
But this just isn’t
Where I wanna spend mine
I’ll be leaving
Now I’ve said it

I’m not your anchor
So don’t hold on
I’m not the answer
You’ve got me wrong
I’m not your savior
Save your energy
To find out who you are
Who you are without me

I’m not a mirror
Look inside yourself
I’m not a hero
You know too well
I’m not your savior
Save your energy
To find out who you are
Who you are without me

I've never known you but I'm no stranger to this feelin'
I, I know it 's over but the hurt's not
What do you call it when broken hearts are not done healin'
You throw down your cigarette but it's still hot
Well, I've learned a lot and here's what I've got

Well, didn't I think you would always love me
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby?
No, well that ain't happenin', no, no, no

Wouldn't I love just to rise above this
You gotta believe I have suffered enough to be free
So I'm officially leavin' just a kiss on the cheek and I'm gone

I'll be on the 7 o'clock, whoa, whoa
7 o' clock to Chicago, whoa, oh, oh

It's never easy breakin' this old addiction
I, I've got the reasons but no rationale
And I wanna hate you 'cause you don't give me no conviction
Your, your betrayal oughta make this break-down no trouble at all
So, so let the rubble fall 'cause I'm runnin' off, oh, no,no, now

Didn't I think you would always love me
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby?
No, well that ain't happenin', no, no, no, no, now

Wouldn't I love just to rise above this
You gotta believe I have suffered enough to be free
So I'm officially leavin' just a kiss on the cheek and I'm gone

I'll be on the 7 o'clock, whoa, whoa
7 o'clock to Chicago, whoa, oh yeah

I'll be on the 7 o'clock to Chicago
I ain't got no second thoughts
Because I know I'm on my way to the top
I'm on my way, hey, yeah

Well, didn't I think you would always love me
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby?
Well, that ain't happenin', no, no, no

Wouldn't I love just to rise above this
You gotta believe I have suffered enough to be free
So I'm officially leavin' just a kiss on the cheek and I'm gone

I'll be on the 7 o'clock, whoa, whoa, baby
7 o'clock to Chicago, Chicago
I will be on the 7 o'clock, whoa
7 o'clock to Chicago, whoa, oh yeah
Whoa, whoa, yeah

Far in the distance
This is the view from the other side
How did I let this pass me by?

You took me for granted
Planted thorns in this garden of mine
What are the chances? My hope has died

Please have mercy, you've unnerved me
I don't deserve this pain, no

So don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil in me

Thinking it over
Those were days dark as ebony night
The end of October seemed like a lifetime

I had a suspicion
But didn't want to believe you a liar
You had a mission to prove me right

You took my trust, ground it to dust
Found out I know better, yeah-yeah

So don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil

And I don't wanna feel the pain
And I don't want another day
Shackled to your ball and chain

You're entirely a pain
And I'm so tired of explaining
The sensation of no Novocain

I don't have a prayer
If there is no charity in your heart
Couldn't you spare me? I've done my part, yeah

Don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil

Don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil in me

Out the devil in me
Out the devil in me
Devil in me
Devil in me

Far in the distance
This is the view from the other side

I use no exaggeration
I'm plainly hanging by a thread
And I'm running low on patience
But don't go blame it on yourself

I wish that I was in my right mind
But I've left myself unnecessary chores
I make it bad when it's just fine
I was whole and sure and now I'm clearly torn, 'cause there's

[Chorus]
Nothin' left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
Where the truth is oh so clear
Embracing inescapable truth
And that's Facing Up to You
And truth is so cruel

Continual irresolution
Keeps me shackled to the ground
And I've been in dire need of revolution
For far too many days to count
I thought I was safe in the Hiding Place
But it sure is exhausting, livin' in chains
It's paradoxical in every way
Nothin' makes sense
I can't tell love from hate...and there's

[Chorus]

I'm beggin' myself to make something of it
I give up still unable to comprehend
My own true will...

[Chorus]

Facing Up to You
Facing Up to You

I use no exaggeration
I'm plainly hanging by a thread
And I'm running low on patience
But don't go blame it on yourself

I wish that I was in my right mind
But I've left myself unnecessary chores
I make it bad when it's just fine
I was whole and sure and now I'm clearly torn, 'cause there's

[Chorus]
Nothin' left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
Where the truth is oh so clear
Embracing inescapable truth
And that's Facing Up to You
And truth is so cruel

Continual irresolution
Keeps me shackled to the ground
And I've been in dire need of revolution
For far too many days to count
I thought I was safe in the Hiding Place
But it sure is exhausting, livin' in chains
It's paradoxical in every way
Nothin' makes sense
I can't tell love from hate...and there's

[Chorus]

I'm beggin' myself to make something of it
I give up still unable to comprehend
My own true will...

[Chorus]

Facing Up to You
Facing Up to You

I couldn't make this up
I have been outdone by my own kind
I always traded up, yeah
Now I'm a victim for the first time

But I'm unaffected and indifferent
But I can't pretend that I'm not over the edge

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
And my, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is

I was untouchable
Until karma crashed my party
I found out I'm crushable, oh
And I'm the only one who's sorry, yeah

I don't get rejected, I was somehow regressed
It's unprecedented, oh, no second page, yeah

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is, yeah
This is how hurt feels and it's everything

Well, no, no, no, don't you go
I do all the breakin' up around here, yeah
Now, no, no, no, don't steal my show
You should be the one cryin' these tears
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
Well, my, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is

I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is
And it's everything they say it is
And it's everything they say it is
Yeah, now, oh yeah
And it's everything

Ignorance is bliss
You'd always hear me say
But at times you can't deny
Those eyes looking your way

Let me begin by saying what I mean
It's a crime against the heart you know
To be somewhere in between

Well don't be shy
I've got an open heart and hand
And I just might have to confess just where I stand

Lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me:
And I won't disagree

Rock-a-bye my baby
Don't be blue tonight
Oh I'm on my way
And I'm gonna make it right

Cause I've got the feeling
You'll be needing love
And of all the lonely hearts
You're the one I'm thinking of

I've been told it's gonna take an iron hand
To break the mold and stand above all of the rest

Lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me:
And I won't disagree

I'll be thinking of that evening
When there's nothing for me to do
And I'll be wondering if by some slim chance
You've been wondering too

Lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me:
And I won't disagree

Tears are forming in your eyes,
a storm is warning in the skies,
the end of the world it seems,
you bend down and you fall on your knees,
well get back on your feet, yeah,

Don't look away, don't run away,
baby it's only life,
don't lose your faith, don't run away,
baby it's only life.

You were always playing hard,
never could let down your guard,
you can't win, if you never give in,
to that voice within, saying pick up your chin,
baby let go of it, yeah,

Don't look away, don't run away,
baby, it's only life.
don't lose your faith, don't run away,
baby it's only life.

Don't look away, don't run away,

baby it's only life.

Take your hesitance, and your self defence,
leave them behind, it's only life,
don't be so afraid of facing every day,
just take your time, it's only life,
i'll be your stepping stone, don't be so alone,
just hold on tight, it's only life,
oh yeah... oh

Don't look away, don't run away,
baby it's only life,
don't lose your faith, don't run away,

baby it's only life.

It's only life, it's only life,
don't look away...

Tears are forming in your eyes,
a storm is warning in the skies,
the end of the world it seems,
you bend down and you fall on your knees,
well get back on your feet, yeah,

Don't look away, don't run away,
baby it's only life,
don't lose your faith, don't run away,
baby it's only life.

You were always playing hard,
never could let down your guard,

baby it's only life.

It's only life, it's only life,
don't look away...

As high as the moon
So high were my spirits
When you sang out my name

And coming from you
It was enough just to hear it
Oh, it rang like the bells did today

But even the sturdiest ground
Can shift and can tremble and let us fall down…

Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It’s lucky I’m clever
Cause if I didn’t know better
I’d believe only that which I’d heard

In the days of my folly
I followed your lead
Did what Simon Says to do

But I won’t let melancholy
Play me for a fool
Oh, no I’m on my way somewhere new

And as far as your lack of something to say
Well, to tell me goodbye there was no better way

Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It’s lucky I’m clever
Cause if I didn’t know better
I’d believe only that which I’d heard

Bridge:

So don’t keep me up till the dawn
With words that’ll keep leading me on
I know much better than to wait for an answer from you

Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It’s lucky I’m clever
'Cause if I didn’t know better
I’d believe only that which I’d heard

I break away from every situation
Like this one most times baby
But since you been round here I've given in my dear
To your captivation daily

Well, I'm not the type who gets voted most likely
To be victimized by those old butterflies
But you're the exception, your love is infectious
The fever is climbin' high

I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin' what might have been
No, no, no

I was so cynical, just inconvincible
Nobody seemed worth trusting
But sure enough just when I'd near given up
You appeared there among the destruction, yeah

Well, not its official, I've lost my initial suspicions
And skepticism, yeah
Well, you got me caved in and playin' the field
And I see now what I'd been mission'. yeah

I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin' what might have been

Oh yeah, you got my permission, break the tradition, yeah
No limited editions, this is a persistent change of disposition
No more inhibitions 'cause I don't want to spend my life wishin'
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, don't you know?

I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin'

Well, I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin'
I won't spend another day wonderin'
I won't spend another day wonderin' what might have been
No, no, no, no, no, might have been, babe
What might have been

I never feared the unexpected
until i found myself in this peculiar place
unaware of where i was headed oh,
it turns out it was your footsteps i had chased

well i should know so much better than this yea yea yea yea
but you've occupied the center of my universe

so, i'm moving in reverse
under your mighty curse
i hate myself for loving you
i turn my head away but my heart will remain
til' the day i learn you're no good for me no

so how you called is outrageous
the way i let you keep me hanging along
your character is that contagious
oh i know i should have thought before i loved

i've gone and let my impulse be my guide
and on that note i'll be defenseless for some time

oh, i'm moving in reverse
under your mighty curse
i hate myself for loving you
i turn my head away but my heart will remain
til' the day i learn you're no good for me

hey you there, keep your distance
don't you come around here
don't test my patience baby cause i ain't gonna let you off easy
no no no no no
ooh you're no good no
no good no good no good no

i'm moving in reverse
under your mighty curse
i hate myself for loving you
i turn my head away but my heart will remain
til' the day i learn you're no good for me
i'm moving in reverse
under your mighty curse
i hate myself for loving you
i turn my head away but my heart will remain
til' the day i learn you're no good
til' the day i learn you're no good
til' the day i learn you're no good for me no oh

you're no good, you're no good,
you're no good, you're no good for me

you're no good, you're no good,
you're no good for me
no no good oh you're no good
no oh you're no good
no oh you're no good

I can tell by the way you been yelling her name
that it's more than a friendly game
With a smile and that I'm-gonna-fight-to-the-death expression in her eye

You think I'm so dramatic, just imagining again
You come to her defense, insisting that she's innocent

Well excuse me for wanting to be the one and
only lock to fit your key
You believe there's nothing up her sleeve,
but baby just wait and see

[Chorus] You say that love is blind,
well I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind,
she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference now?
I'll be gone one way or another

Take a minute to see it from my side of things;
don't you think you would feel the same?
Like you still gotta play for the victory in a game you won yesterday

I shouldn't have to fight for something that's already mine But her pursuit of you has undermined my peace of mind

But it's no use crying to you
you're who her plan has done the damage to
What's done is done, I should just hold my tongue- but someone has got me outdone

[Chorus]

You're going under
And baby its no wonder
She's stepping up her game
Making you a prisoner of her hall of fame
Looking for a winner for her trophy case
You need to consider what you think you deserve
Is that all that you're worth? No, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]

I stop to catch my breath
And I stop to catch your eye
No need to second-guess
That you’ve been on my mind
I dream days away, but that’s okay
It’s like I want to hear a silent sound
And then hold it in my hand
But a rose won’t blossom from a ground
Of desert sand, but I like to pretend that

One day I’ll turn around
I’ll see your hand reach out
I’m only fooling myself, oh,
But maybe when you smile
It means you’d stay awhile
Just maybe you’d save me now

Well, now it’s etched in stone
That I can’t survive alone
You have the missing piece
That I need so desperately
Yes, I slip away to a day that’ll never come
It’s like a splash of water to my face
When I suddenly realize
That you could never find a place
For me in your eyes, and I don’t know why I keep thinking

One day I’ll turn around
I’ll see your hand reach out
I’m only fooling myself, oh,
But maybe when you smile
It means you’d stay awhile
Just maybe you’d save me now

It’s love in disguise
I’m lost in your eyes
I’m lost in your eyes

One day I’ll turn around
I’ll see your hand reach out
I’m only fooling myself, oh,
But maybe when you smile
It means you’d stay awhile
Just maybe you’d save me now
Save me now
Just maybe you’d save me now

Out of the corner
Of my tired eyes
I'm not surprised
That it's now a quarter past too late
Nothing new, it's no case out of the ordinary
I'm so very wrapped around your finger this time
Oh, won't you give me awhile to unwind?

You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
I look like a fool

You're like a splinter
Just killing me slowly from inside
The piercing winter is so much
More inviting than the stare in your eyes
One heavy cinderblock, like a rock
You're just staying, weighing, breaking me down
I'm crying out, you don't hear a sound

You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
I look like a fool

Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize
To put you up sky high, get your pride back to its familiar place
And I hope it's cost enough of my dear, precious time
To lift your spirits, spark your smile

You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
I look like a fool

You break me, make me look like a fool
I am not your fool, no, no
You may be on top of the world
But I'm done playing by your rules
You're on top of the world

Gone away, are the golden days
They're just a page, in my diary
So here I am, utopian citizen
I'm still convinced, there's no such thing as idealism
Memories they're following me like a shadow now, and I'm dreaming
'Cause I've already suffered the fear of disbelief, Hey...

But I've seen your act and I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
It ain't hard to see who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here, yeah

I was true, as the sky is blue
But I couldn't soon, say the same for you, no no
So now I find, denial in my eyes
Mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind, now, oh oh
So tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart, for what it is, yeah
'Cause I don't want to keep on believing in illusions, no no no

'Cause I've seen your act and I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
It ain't hard to see who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here

Sometimes I can't explain
And I'm so sorry that I can't
I'll try, my conscience may
I'm your true identity
Oh, oh, oh

'Cause I've seen your act and I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
It ain't hard to see who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I've seen your act and I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
It' ain't hard to see who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, now
I wish you were here
ohh, ohh..... I wish you were here, now
ohh.....
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here.

Won't be so easy,
This time to hurt me
You can try, and this time, oh baby, there are no tears left here to dry
If you think you can wound me like before, if you think you can do that anymore
Wont get to far, no

You can't break a broken heart, so try your best now baby
Try your best to break me, you can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now, I'm immune to you now, you can't break what broke apart
Theres nothing you can do to me no more
You can't break a broken heart

Hurt me before now,
Wont hurt no more now
Not this time

Cause your not gonna break me down again
Your done and through with me the way you did
Its gone to far

And you can't break a broken heart, so try your best now baby
Try your best to break me, you can't break a broken heart
No damage you can do now, I'm immune to you now, you can't break what broke apart
