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 |

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 |

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 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
