Mistakes
01:09
|
|||
Well I made some mistakes on you
Learned some lessons at your expense
and I hope you know I’m sorry about that
Did what I had to do
Didn’t know what I didn’t know
and I learned it all through you
And I’m sorry if I broke your heart
If I left you longing for something more
and I know you had to make that call
for the both of us cause I couldn’t help but
drown in my denial
and watch it fade
That dying flower
Oh I acted like such a coward
And I hope to make it up to you somehow

By Now
03:09
|

I stay inside til the sun’s well up
And I lose my mind every week or so
Cause you tell me lies like you mean them
Like promises but you never keep them
Do you think of me when the lights go down
And does anything feel missing when the music cuts out
I just thought that I’d be over it by now
Oh I keep my eyes on the sprawling sky
Yeah it feels alright if I advert my mind
It’s a mystery I can never solve
And it eats at me more than you’d imagine
Do you think of me when the lights go down
And does anything feel missing when the music cuts out
I just thought that I’d be over it by now
Oh my heart is stalled
and my life’s on hold
I would if I could only let you go

Broken Wings
03:53
|
|||
You’re a special kind of tragic
And so naturally I’m attracted
Don’t know what it is about those broken wings
But I cold stone gotta have it
when they’re down and out and ragged
Honey you can come home with me
And I’ll fix you up as good as brand new
And I say I don’t mind it but I dooooooooo
You’re a charming kind of manic
God I find it so romantic
oh you know you really do it for me
oh it really is a sickness
that your bullshit is my weakness
And I don’t care what you do to me
And if nothing more you keep me on my toes
and I tell you that I’m leaving but I
dooooooooon’t
I’m back for moooooooore
Oh god I’m so hung up on you
despite the things you do
I’m coming back for more
Ain’t nothing like the perfect fix
to take the pain for just a bit
Oh I’m at your door
I’m a special kind of damaged
Always craving what I can’t have
And the hardest love’s the one that I want
Oh and I just can’t feel deserving
Unless I know damn well I earned it
through the blood and sweat and tears
I gave for you
And I wonder when it is that I’ll learn
But I just don’t know how to stop feeling so hurt

I'll Try
03:48
|
|||
It’s been three long weeks of trying not to call you
It’s been misery and I know I’m to blame
And it’s not like I got all this pent up willpower
Cause I’d call you now if I knew what to say
And I’ll try to hold back my tears
but goodbye is just not what I want to hear
And I’m tired of changing
Holding my head against the pavement daily
I’ll write you songs until I got none
Hung dry, forever singing love songs
I’m tired of changing
hope I can admit if it winds up I want something different
Oh I sleep too long and I wake up feeling dizzy
torn apart by the war inside my head
or maybe it’s that I haven’t been eating
I wasn’t hungry then I ate my words instead
And I’ll try to hold back my tears
but goodbye is just not what I want to hear
And I’m tired of changing
Holding my head against the pavement daily
And I’ll write you songs until I got none
Hung dry, forever singing love songs
I’m tired of changing
hope I can admit if it turns out I want something different
I don’t wanna call it before it’s over
I’ll kick the can down the road til I’m sure
I think we both know where it’s going
I’m just not ready to let you go yet
And I don’t think you tried your hardest
It’s not enough if I’m being honest
Never getting what I’m promised
Oh it was almost what I wanted
And I’ll try to hold back my tears
but goodbye is just not what I want to hear
And I’m tired of changing
Holding my head against the pavement daily
And I’ll write you songs until I got none
Hung dry, forever singing love songs
I’m tired of changing
hope I can admit if it turns out I want something different

Billy

|

Billy started a fire
Now he’s doing some time
Boy you had to be right
Always picking a fight
Hope he’s doing alright (2x)
Trouble comes easy
When you go asking for it
you say you can’t avoid it
Your pride is too important
You won’t believe me
I can’t afford to lose you
Over something stupid
Billy started a fight
says he won in a landslide
solitary confined
you should see the other guy
hope he’s doing alright (2x)
Trouble comes easy
when you go asking for it
you say you can’t avoid it
your pride is too important
You won’t believe me
I can’t afford to lose you
over something stupid
Billy started a fire
and he ran in the night
Won’t see him for a while
In the flashing lights
Yeah they read him his rights
Won’t see him for a while
Trouble comes easy
When you go looking for it
Hey Billy was it worth it
You think you proved your point
I won’t be waiting
There ain’t no way around it
I gotta live without you now
Trouble comes easy
when you go asking for it
you say you can’t avoid it
your pride is too important
You won’t believe me
I can’t afford to lose you
over something stupid(x2)

There Goes My Heart
05:23
|
|||
Darling take me or leave me
You don’t have to be so cruel
to relieve me of all of my duties
I’ll leave you in peace
You won’t hear a single thing
I’m constantly fighting
the thoughts in my mind
about being your bride
I’ve been singing at weddings
and wasting my time
Writing these lines about you
And there goes my heart right out the front door
there goes my world spinning out
ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am
Well I’m back in the valley
been singing your praise
that or keeping my mouth shut
most of my days
and I gotta say lately
I’m missing your face like hell
But despite all my longing
I’m still seeing clearly
the first time in years
I can actually put myself first
and the hurting is teaching me something
I’m sure, oh I’m sure
and there goes my heart right out the front door
there goes my world spinning out
ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am
Oh you’re calling me crying to tell me you’re sorry
to tug on my heart strings and call me your darling
and that’s what I wanted but not what I asked for
It don’t change a thing, no it doesn’t change anything
you’re calling me crying to tell me you need me
and oh that our love is something worth saving
I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess that’s it
And there goes my heart out the front door
there goes my world spinning out
ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am
Oh there goes my heart out the front door
There goes my world caving in
Ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am

Now That I'm Alone
03:37
|
|||
I’ve been driving
fast in my car away from home
and I’m surviving
but I’ll admit I miss my dog
It’s somewhat violent
The kind of pull it has on me
But I’ll keep trying
until it gets the best of me
I’m always hiding
from knowing eyes that see right through
This old disguise
I’ve been growing out of it like it was you
Sometimes I find it’s
the hardest thing to hear the truth
But I don’t mind it
not when I’m hearing it from you
Where do I go now that I’m alone dear
Where will I find my peace
Just far enough so not to hear you calling
stop waiting up for me
I’m always crying
bout petty wounds that just won’t heal
but staying silent
while kids are dying, world’s on fire
it’s every headline
feel so helpless all the time
I can’t do it anymore
not if I’m on my own
Where do I go now that I’m alone dear
Where will I find my peace
Just far enough so not to hear you calling
stop waiting up for me
Maybe I’ll run away out to the mountains
Lying out in the open
Every night star gazing
Maybe I’ll leave without a trace in the morning
no more wishing, no more hoping
The great wide open
Where do I go now that I’m alone dear
Where will I find my peace
Just far enough so not to hear you calling
stop waiting up for me
(x2)

I called my mother at midnight
Said I’m out on a wire
Can’t make decisions to save my life
could you show me how
I called you up on a Friday
Said I want to go dancing
You called me back on a Monday
Once all the bars were closed
But it’s okay no I can’t complain
Got a good thing going now
But one of these days
If the feelings change
Don’t know if I’ll stay
Don’t know if I’ll stick around
I told you off in the morning
Just to come back crying
Oh what I want what I need
I can’t discern a damn thing
But I try my best to be happy
I try so hard to be what you need
Oh I just want to be everything
And I fall so short
But it’s okay no I can’t complain
Got a good thing going now
But one of these days
If the feelings change
Don’t know if I’ll stay
Don’t know if I’ll stick around
And don’t take this the wrong way
But some days you’re just dead weight
And I love you all the same
It’s just too much to carry
And don’t take this the wrong way
But some days you’re just dead weight
And I love you all the same
It’s just too much to carry
But it’s okay no I can’t complain
Got a good thing going now
But one of these days
If the feelings change
Don’t know if I’ll stay
Don’t know if I’ll stick
Okay I hate everything
Got a good thing going down
One of these days
Gonna pack my things
Gonna leave this place
Don’t know if I’ll stick around

Some Day
04:58
|
|||
I’m holding on to less than nothing
Can’t believe I fought 3 years
Just to watch it fall apart
I watched it crumble at my feet
Now I got time on my hands
missing you to death
camping out in my head
reliving every second
oh your skin and your hands
my head upon your chest
I hope I get over it
Someday, someday
oooooooooooooo
I’m still a wreck
I’m scared I’ll never love again
After your kiss
What felt so right
Can’t be followed by nothingness
You’re coming up in my dreams again
I can’t accept
second best
So I’ve got time on my hands
Still missing you to death
Scratching all of my plans
For the life we could have had
And god I’m missing my friend
knowing that we’ll never ever have
someday, someday
oooooooooooooo
So take me out dancing
Out in the open
Give me your hand
Swear I’ll never forget this
Given the chance
Swear I’d love you better
Love you better
And I got time on my hands
Trying to make the best of it
I’m keeping my head
Focused on the present
every cell in my skin
wants to be with him
but I can’t have
someday, someday

Eggshells
05:10
|
|||
Patient I am patient I am waiting for you dear
I am counting up the moments spent until I have you here
and I am hoping I am wishing I am praying to my god
That when I finally have you here that it’s still something that I want
Cuz I am tired of fighting
of holding what’s inside me
it’s alrights and I’m so sorrys
yeah the cycle’s never ending
And I can’t fight the feeling
That we are slowly sinking
that our worlds are growing distant
It’s getting hard for me to live in
No I don’t want to hurt you
want to leave you
but I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
of these eggshells that we’re walking
this ain’t living
but it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change anyway
Reckless I am reckless I’m just stupid for you babe
I am lucid when you’re gone and when you’re not it’s all a dream
I get soft and I get easy I get lost inside your eyes
It’s some sick kind of magic I forgive you every time
But I am tired of charming
always getting what you want
the crumbs of your heart they don’t sustain me
it’s just enough to keep me waiting
and I can’t fight the feeling
we’re a bomb that’s always ticking
a single nudge could fucking end it
I’m so sick of being cautious
No I don’t want to hurt you
want to leave you
but I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
of these eggshells that we’re walking
this ain’t living
but it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change anyway
No it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change
but you’re gonna watch me walk away
no you don’t know how to make me stay
It’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change
oh you’re gonna watch me walk away
oh you’re gonna watch me walk away
Cuz I am tired of caring
bout your feelings when you spare none
don’t want your love if it’s not consistent
never knowing where we’re standing
and I can’t fight the feeling that we are slowly dying
like those flowers you always bought me
all those insincere apologies
No I don’t want to hurt you
want to leave you
but I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
of these eggshells that we’re walking
this ain’t living
but it’s nothing I would say
It’s nothing I could change anyway
