Not your savior :
Unlucky seventeen,
Already handed plans for the future
Glamour obsessed, told how to dress,
and shown how to think
And I don't have a job,
but I can show you how to be a slob
So many days, wasted and glazed
Sometimes I laugh aloud as I think about
you asking me "Please can you help?"
Can't help my self
I'm not your savior,

I'm not who you want me to be
A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before,
refusing to break
Cut my losses ties them with you,
like a good boy I'll pretend
and promise not to do it again

do you remember when,
life was so simple and permanent?
everyone's changed, everyone's cool, everyone sucks
but i can't seem to complain,
exciting and new is just not there
you're getting scared
i'm not your savior,
never thought i was anyway
i'm a void with empty promises
that backs out late
never said i'd change,
taking back the words that we spoke
like a fuel tank running dry,
you'll believe it when i choke



Life size mirror :
I think i'm falling in love
I think i'm falling in love!
Love love love love love

Verse 1:
You smile a lot
It makes me wonder what you're thinking of, cause
Baby you're always on my mind

Bridge:
And right now I want you with me, here by my side
With me till the end of time

Chorus:
I just can't help myself
I'm falling in love with you (love love, with you)
It doesn't matter what you say or what you do
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
Just give me a chance and I know I will make you understand
Oh I just can't help my self
I'm falling in love with you

Verse 2:
Don't know if I
Should tell the world just how I'm feeling yet, cause
I wanna be sure you feel the same

Bridge:
You're all that I think about and you need to know
There's no other way, no no


Chorus:
I just can't help myself
I'm falling in love with you (love love, with you)
It doesn't matter what you say or what you do
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
Just give me a chance and I know I will make you understand
Oh I, I just can't help my self
I'm falling in love with you

Verse 3:
(You must have been sent)
You must have been sent from heaven above
You're everything I've ever dreamed of
To good to be true, no I don't think so
(Baby, no)

Bridge:
Just give me a chance
And I know I will make you understand
Oh I, I just can't help myself
I'm falling in love with you
(I know it's love, it's gotta be love)

Fade Out:
I think I'm falling in love
I think I'm falling in love (x3)


Chasing Rainbows :
Just heard the news today, let yourself down once again
Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes
Will you do anything, to satisfy your so-called friend?
There's something you ought to know, before you explode

All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do
I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know
Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth

It's all fucked up, being reserved and quiet
She doesn't understand the message that you send
Don't give it all away somewhere, someday there's someone
Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time (never)

All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mine
Kicking you is easy when you're down that's where the weak know
To release their anger on someone who will not try
To stand up, and give them a fight


Lies Can't Pretend :
I received your letter in the mail
Sounds like times are hard for you again
You said that you'd be nineteen in september of this year
And you're breaking up with your girlfriend
"My dad and I got in a fight, he told
me to leave" when everything was fine
There isn't much that I can do to help you yes it's true
But I promise that the hurt will heal in time...
And you don't deserve this

Lies can't pretend
Just another way of thinking
That people can change when it seems
They're not there for you
Truth cannot lie
Never heard a better word than trust
Yes it's in you know that it's true and right

Let me count the ways that I feel so sorry
When it rains it drains the spirit dry
We all have our mishaps,misfortune,missed opportunities
And the strenght to carry on consider yourself free
And you don't deserve this
(three, two, one)

Lies can't pretend
Just another way of thinking
That people can change when it seems
They're not there for you
Truth cannot lie
Never heard a better word than trust
Yes it's in you know that it's true and right


Why Doesn't Anybody Like Me?:
Maybe you don't understand it, what keeps them awake at night
What goes through their little minds when you turn off the light?
Always having to say sorry tears are stained on the pillow
Like the light of the moon they can't be won
Can't exist without the sun

Let's think clearly for a while
Can he shine without a smile?

Why am I alone with, no one to be found?
Looks like they know what's best for me
Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand?
Guess I'll have to crawl inside, and I don't know why
I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine

Been around the block a few times, been beat up by all his friends
Learing life is like a maze that never seems to end
Like an open book, blank pages left for only him to write
Life is short this chapter takes so long
Can't tell the right from the wrong

It's so hard for you to place
An expression on his face

Why am I alone with no one to be found?
Looks like they know what's best for me
Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand?
Guess I'll have to crawl inside, and I don't know why
I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine

Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand
Why my friends and family left me
At six years old he won't be taught a meaning to this mess
He'll just have to take a guess, and make his own plan
And we'll never see the child, that was forced to be a man


Sleeping In :
packing up the pictures in an old shoebox
its so silent i can almost hear you walk,
down the hall , standing in front of that window ,
and if heaven is so high , then why are you so low,
does it feel as if your taking back the love that made it real?

in the darkness you will always see his face and i could never take
the place of him today im sleeping in

woke up its too late and i should be in school,
theirs always something wrong when you ignore the rules
never want to see myself in front of that window,
sucking up your tears didnt want let me know too much,
reaching out your hand for one last touch,

take me with you,
everybody here is fake,
and i dont wanna feel the same when you give in,
in a lifetime time, time will always take our place,
and i will lay here shielded from the pain,

ahh ahh ahh ahhh

this is a long time felt today,
you gave me all that i could take and gave me strengh to carry on
in the darkness you will always see his face
and i dont wanna be their when you do give in
in a lifetime time, time will always take our place,
and i will lay here shielded from the pain

ahh ahh ahh ahh

i do whatever i want you never let me down
i always felt when lost , somehow your found, although life
has all these consequences now, and thats okay and thats okay



Fairytale Of New York :
It was christmas eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
We won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold christmas eve
You promised me broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty queen of new york city
Wwhen the band finished playing they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

And the boys of the nypd choir were singing "galway bay"
And the bells were ringing out for christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse I pray god it's our last

And the boys of the nypd choir were singing "galway bay"
And the bells were ringing out for christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

And the boys of the nypd choir still singing "galway bay"
And the bells were ringing out for christmas day
And the bells were ringing out for christmas day



Pride :
I see you clinging, stereotyping just to feel comfort, just to belong
Desperate for meaning to make sense of your life
Let me try to make you understand...
You got it wrong

You're not gonna catch me waving flags over my head
Looking straight and standing tall
I refuse to build the wall by adding my own bricks
That separate us all

I'd rather die than be a part of your pride

This ain't the homeland they've written books on
Never have been there, how would you know
Following footsteps that will get you nowhere
And living by some rules that were made up one hundred years ago

You're not gonna find me digging through my family tree
Just to find out who I am
I don't need to know that I'm linked to some murderer
To live on the same land

I'd rather die than be a part of your pride

So it looks like I'll be here for a long time now
Some things are better left mysteries
Can't change the future when living in the past
So do what you want and I'll decide my own history


Always Carrie :
When I'm awake at night, sometimes I picture you
And hear those words again you said, "I'm leaving"
I couldn't hold you down and not expect that you would drown
I'm a clown, but no one's laughing

Maybe you're from another planet, one I want to invade
It's all been said (it's all been said)
To me you're dead (to me you're dead)
And it's time you turn your page

I'm not sure what it was that led us down a dead-end road
Some of those signs can be quite deceiving
I knew your favorite things, didn't know that one of them was someone else
I'm done believing

Someday there will be understanding
Everyday is a tragedy
It's me you blame (it's me you blame)
But it's the shame (but it's the shame)
That you will always carrie, that wou will always carrie
That you will always carrie


Let It Slide :
I spend a day and night then finally realize
There's really nothing going on
So why should I try to shake leaves
When there's no one in my trees that I should care about

Let it fall, let it rise
Let it be and let it slide
Let tomorrow come and take my time away

I see the world get by
And watch my friends get high
I really don't care who's to blame
They love to point fingers at you
'Cause there's nothing else to do but waste away my time

Let it fall, let it rise
Let it be and let it slide
Let tomorrow come and take my time away

Let it fall, let it rise
Let it be and let it slide
Let tomorrow come and take my time away

Let tomorrow come and take my time away


Six Degrees From Misty :
When you were little she sold you out
Out by the ounce the drugs and alcohol was free
Or maybe it was your imagination
Friend of the family but now the foe
She gets inside your mind with everything you smoke
That's why your conspiracy comes from some words she spoke

The rain is controlled by misty
There's one buy seems like three
She always has to be behind every little problem I face
I'd drive to Ireland but there's a lake between the land
She hired private eyes to follow me

Maybe I'll go to Paris and France
And meet the Pope and someone to be with for life
A place far away where she could never find us here

Everything bad is a "misty"
She's hiding in that tree
I'm swimming at the beach and she's got submarines and high technology
She runs my life and in my dreams at night
And everywhere I go I'm always six degrees, from misty


Coming Too Close :
There was a time when you would come and go
Now theres no time left to react
Just as it starts to heal in comes a bitter end
Well you were already to leave my side and then...

You're coming too close and I can't pretend
That I'll pick you up or let you come in again
We've been through this before, so please understand
That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek
If you pick up the phone please don't call on me

No one can save you from the undertow
Nobody can blame you for the past
Just as I started thinking "Everythings alright"
You showed us surely that the tenth time was your last

You're coming too close and I can't pretend
That I'll pick you up or let you come in again
We've been through this before, so please understand
That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek
If you pick up the phone please don't call on me

Yesterday I saw you falling to the ground
Seems like things get worse when no one is around
It's not okay

You're coming too close and I can't pretend
That I'll pick you up or let you come in again
We've been through this before, so please understand
That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek
If you pick up the phone please dont call on me



Saddest Song :
What's wrong with everyone? There's a panic in their eyes
Like others getting close are aliens in disguise
They smell conspiracy on the lips of dearest friends
Reminds me of a time long ago, they think it's the end

Of what we all created, used to love but now we hate it
Life is as simple as the mind it lives in
the truth is a waste of time
When we're conditioned to understand
Lies are the right way as we watch the blind leading the blind

Everything that we see is another's suffering
Learn to enjoy the message your tv is delivering
You're safe behind the glass like being at the zoo
The face of guilty thoughts turns around and looks just like you

Don't want to be another victim, but you watch them suffer
Organized, de-sensitized and trained
To wake up at six A.M,
go to work come back and in bed by ten
Where the feeling is safe and warm
Horrified by any change, living by consensus destroy us
Paints pretty pictures at the same time will do us more harm


Room 19 :

it's been so long since you've been here
and I'm dying...
is there something you would like to say?

just drop the present on the shelf
by the flowers
and make the feeling go away...

looking back I can't recall
who was listening
when I used to walk the streets at night...

like a bird that used to sing
I was flying
I was happy all the time
and it's hard to look back...

better days
and different ways
I can't explain
another song to sing
it all was simplified...

don't know now
what it's about
what have I learned
to live without?
it takes a day to live a life...

I can't believe the way the world
is so different...
look what the lines in my face have made

living in my bed
I'm right next to the road
the one that goes the other way...
takes me to a different place

did you know
that I was just as young as you
I had a job, a home, a family, and a car

did you say
that yesterday
or just right now?
you'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart...

did you say
that yesterday
or just right now?
you'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart...
