Save Me From Me
she said i can fix you
i can make you happy
i can turn your luck around
all you need is someone
who can understand you
someone who wont let you down
i said you dont know me
what makes you believe that
i need anything at all
look into these eyes and
tell my why you'd wrap your
legs around this wrecking ball
i dont need blood
i dont need bones
i dont need anyone to take me home
i dont need love
if all that it means
is someone to mother and smother me
all that i need
is someone to save me from me
youre not gonna change me
if thats what youre thinking
dont even waste your time
unless i feel the pain of
living life this way
then i dont even feel alive
i know its hard to see why
someone would want to
spend his life out on a ledge
i dont have the answers
i just need someone to
make sure i dont step off the edge
i dont need blood
i dont need bones
i dont need anyone to take me home
i dont need love
if all that it means
is someone to mother and smother me
all that i need
is someone to save me from me
Crazy
i was blind and i couldn't see
lost behind a haze of make believe
but now im on my knees
you chew me up and you spit me out
and even then im hanging on your mouth
and talking in my sleep
i don't wanna lose you now
i don't wanna fall apart somehow
but you leave me no choice…again
burn your promises away
i don't believe a word you say
i love you but you're crazy
tear my heart my pieces
i don't know why i need this
one thing before i leave:
i love you but you're crazy
im all alone in a crowded room
drunk again and im screaming at the moon
why is she so mean
i don't wanna stay awake
i don't wanna pay for your mistakes
but you leave me no choice…again
burn your promises away
i don't believe a word you say
i love you but you're crazy
tear my heart my pieces
i don't know why i need this
one thing before i leave:
i love you but you're crazy
and for once you are the one who needs to kneel
now that you're waking up
tell me did i bleed enough
did i bleed enough
burn your promises away
i don't believe a word you say
i love you but you're crazy
tear my heart my pieces
i don't know why i need this
one thing before i leave:
i love you but you're crazy
Dancing With Her Eyes Closed
moving in rhythm under a spell
out on the dance floor all by herself
everyone watches her dancing with her eyes closed
smiling through smoke and her chardonnay
drunk in the moment and one drink away
everyone watches her dancing with her eyes closed
and every time she sighs
something in me dies
she knows how every song in the world goes
everyone watches her dancing with her eyes closed
her blonde hair is blue in the neon light
her lips are apart and her t-shirt's too tight
and everyone watches her dancing with her eyes closed
and every time she sighs
something in me dies
she knows how every song in the world goes
everyone watches her dancing with her eyes closed
Sober
she packs her suitcase
and puts on some clothes
yes in that order
just so you know
what you'll be missing
from now on
but you wont listen
til she's gone
sober
if there ever was a time that you'd be sober
its the moment that you know its really over
and theres nothing you can drink to change the fact
or bring her back
dead sober
she tried to tell you
but you wouldn't hear
over the noise of
your quiet fears
now you wanna know
where'd all the loving go
where'd all the loving go?
sober
if there ever was a time that you'd be sober
its the moment that you know its really over
and theres nothing you can drink to change the fact
or bring her back
dead sober
you cant stand the pain
you cant make it stop
you cant run away
from what you don't got
you cant numb your brain
with one more shot
sober
if there ever was a time that you'd be sober
its the moment that you know its really over
and theres nothing you can drink to change the fact
or bring her back
dead sober
It's Only Love
i see the tombstones in your eyes
the devil you can exorcise
i can feel the aching in your veins
all your words and whispers choke
on the razor in your throat
nothing takes the edge off of the pain
hold on
til the hurts gone
breathe in
and out again
its only love
its only love
its not bones and its not blood
its only gonna kill you for a while
you may cry
your eyes dry
you may wish that you could die
but girl you know its only love
you know its time to say goodbye
break away from the lies
and kill the words that echo in your head
no more running from the truth
you try to hide but its no use
baby your living like your dead
hold on
he's almost gone
breathe in
and out again
its only love
its only love
its not bones and its not blood
its only gonna kill you for a while
you may cry
your eyes dry
you may wish that you could die
but girl you know its only love
Back From The Dead
its just a picture
i took last summer
with a friends cell phone
you had my t-shirt on
and a beer buzz
and you were smiling
looking back at me
like you wanted to see
who called your name that way
and the sunlight hit your face
you love me
you hate me
you want me
you push me away from you love
away from your love
you burn me
to ashes
and leave me inside my head
to find my way back from the dead
friday night at the White Horse
i sat and watched it rain
but its just not the same
cuz you're not here
so i went out walking
i stumbled down harvard street
trying to find my feet
and i stood outside the door
where you don't live anymore
you love me
you hate me
you want me
you push me away from you love
away from your love
you burn me
to ashes
and leave me inside my head
to find my way back from the dead
Long Time Coming
i burned away the whole day
but im feeling alive in space
and to tell you the truth
im feeling alone and a little confused
but i got an idea today
that you never loved me
and im tired of playing games
no you never loved me
and i think...
its been a long time coming
im still running
i dont owe you nothing no more
but ill tell you something
im still wondering
and my head is torn
cuz im sick of all your running around
like a goddamn merry go round
and ill tell you one thing
its been a long time coming
its a quarter to two, last calls on you
bottoms up to the moon
im feeling alright finally
yes i believed in everything
that you said and never again
cuz i know, yes i know
that you never loved me
and im tired of playing games
no you never loved me
and i think...
its been a long time coming
im still running
i dont owe you nothing no more
but ill tell you something
im still wondering
and my head is torn
cuz im sick of all your running around
like a goddamn merry go round
and ill tell you one thing
its been a long time coming
so who you gonna run to now that im gone
and you lost all your control
and who is gonna break your fall from your throne
now that youre alone
its been a long time coming
im still running
i dont owe you nothing no more
but ill tell you something
im still wondering
and my head is torn
cuz im sick of all your running around
like a goddamn merry go round
and ill tell you one thing
its been a long time coming
