Lying on the floor with your face in your hands
and you're oh so tired of one night stands
So you check all the lines on your face in the mirror
and you wish life would get so much clearer
Next you toss and you turn
cause your memories burn
with a fate that you feel you never deserved
but you, it was always you
Standing outside cause its 6am
but you won't go home
you won't go to bed
Can't sleep well from the screaming in your head
seems the ghosts from your past are really not dead
So you blame the girl with the sun in her eyes
think its all my fault you're dying inside
but you, it was always you
Here we are again under covers and then suddenly out of nowhere
you tell me how troubled you are
I care but I really don't care
No, we've just met
I couldn't have ruined your life just yet
And by the way, if I'm so bad why do you keep calling me
and showing up in my bed?
Walking away when you're trying to stay
you put on a good show, put on a display
Give yourself some reasons why you behave
like a lovesick fool on Valentine's Day
You never found the card that never did say
'I love you but I don't know why I act this way"
You, it was always you

Atom Bombs

Brave but not immune
arrange my knife, my fork , my sppon just like I'm used to
Counting back from ten, my paper and my pen my trusted friends
Change is all around
I move up and I move down tho I'm still standing
It's easy to believe
but it's not what you perceive
sometimes I'm dying
Sometimes my head explodes like atom bombs
Sometimes my head, it never rests
Was so in love with you
I did all that I could do even crossed the ocean
But it all got washed away on that rainy English day when I came calling
Those bridges that you burned
oh London how I learned why they're all falling
I had some other dreams all woven in the seams
they too went tumbling
Sometimes my head explodes like atom bombs
Sometimes my head, it never rests

Boxes

You paint a box around me
You think you know
There's nothing left for you to solve
Lean in closer
Listen to me
You don't know anything at all
My pride won't let me
drown beneath your wake
you can ask again but I will never take
I've already given you my finest days
I can't get them back they say
Those pictures that you paint
don't hang out on my walls
Ring me all you like
I won't return your calls
Rose tint glasses
sure hide your eyes
I'm sorry if I took you by suprise
Smoke and mirrors
sugar cookies
you can sugarcoat it till you're dead
Still Il'll maintain
and stick to who I am
I'll never eat again from the palms of your dirty hands

Don't Go
02:49
|

Don't walk away so soon
maybe I'm in love with you
I might want to take you home
I might be what you need so
Don't go
Don't laugh when I cry on the phone
please hide those faults of your own
I might be the one that you want
I might be what you've always known
Don't go
Is there a light at the end of this path
Is there a brass ring to grab
Where is my pot full of gold
How much for that river you sold
Don't say there's no love at first sight
I'm holding on very tight
I want to take you home
I am just what you need so
Don't go

A tiny pink light shines on the wall and I sigh
You're thousands of miles from here
still you come crystal clear
say words I want to hear and I die
You must have escaped things they said about you
you didn't take it all in
like living's a sin and then die
but you never thought they'd hurt you like they tried to endlessly
turn their eyes form beauty try to shatter all your dreams
no one knew the price you'd pay
for taking all their love away
but if you let me in you know I'll stay
you know I'll stay
I can't keep my hands still
you give me a thrill and I smile
thousands of miles from here
still you come crystal clear
say words I want to hear and I die
I must have escaped those things they said about me
I never took it all in
like living's a sin cause I'm free
And I never thought they'd hurt me like they tried to endlessly
turn their eyes from beauty try to shatter all my dreams
no one knew the price I'd pay
for taking all their love away
but if I let you in I know you'll stay
I know you'll stay
A tiny pink light shines on the wall and I sigh
thousands of miles from here
still you come crystal clear
say words I want to hear
and I
