Its ok, if you need to pretend for all of your friends that you don't even miss me, if that's what helps you sleep at night. And its alright, if you need to be mean, and blame me for everything, and swear that you don't want me, if thats what helps you keep your pride But I know when you close your door, and I'm not there to make dinner for, and you'll have to eat on your own again, and you'll have to sleep all alone again.. you know, honey, you know i know, you'll be wanting me, but I'll keep it a secret, if you need it to be. And its ok, not to see me at all, and screen out my phone calls, and swear you never loved me, if thats what gets you through the day. And its alright, if you found someone new to try to make love to, and make sure you forget me, if it helps to be that way Cause I know when she's in your bed, and she can't do the things I did, you'll close your eyes, and you'll pretend, but that won't be enough, and thats why.. you know, honey, you know I know, you'll be wanting me, but I'll keep it a secret, if you need it to be.
Turned on the news today, and I wished I was on some other planet, cause this one is insane. Little Jimmy shot little Billy, and Hail Mary starved to death trying to look pretty, and its partly cloudy today .And lately its all that I can do, and all that I can expect from you is just to... Remember to Breathe. The neighbors down the hall, tell the cops that they can't get involved, and so there's a monster roaming free. Tell me, which way to heaven coming from hell, and what average of my soul would I have to sell for you to save a place for me.. and lately its all that I can do, and all I can expect from you is just to... Remember to breathe... And I'm having that dream again, there's a door, and no one will let me in, but funny, when I'm awake its no different. Yeah, well , I'd like a partner to hold my hand, and give me a reason to believe in something again, cause I'm trying, but i can't ..and lately its all that i can do, and all that i can expect from you is just to.. Remember to Breathe.
Got up in the morning To find myself a future In the Sunday classfied But then I spilled my coffee And then the telephone was ringing Guess I got distracted But hey at least I tried And there's just oh so many hours in a day And oh so many little things get in the way Like who's on Oprah and Rosie I think my bed it too cozy Yeah that must be it The reason I can't motivate do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get a life do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get it soon Cuz rent is due And cardboard boxes ain't cool Get up Monday make an afternoon appointment Fix my hair as best I can And then I ride on over but By the time I get there

Wish I knew this time What I need you to say But when you step on someone's foot Even though it's not on purpose It still hurts anyways And so I wouldn't hear the right words today Cuz sorry doesn't cut it And I love you sounds nice but it's still wrong But baby stop trying to be my man And start being your own Maybe then we could get somewhere Instead of going in circles
She picks the glass up from the floor And he swears he won't hit her no more And yeah she's heard all this before But she still needs to make believe it's love And I mind my business across the street Turn up my music and try to sleep But I wish she'd reach out to me So I could help her see He wears her in He wears her out And I just wanna fill her in That's not what love's about So he goes and buys her pretty things Cuz he doesn't know how else to be And I wonder why won't she leave I guess nobody wants to be alone And I see her in the store one day Her sunglasses hide the love they made But this time I don't turn away I ask her does she know He wears her in He wears her out And I just wanna fill her in That's not what love's about She closes in To keep him out And I just wanna fill her in That's not what love's about
Wish I knew this time What I need you to say But when you step on someone's foot Even though it's not on purpose It still hurts anyway And so I wouldn't even hear the right words today
Cause sorry doesn't cut it Now I Love You sounds nice--but it's still wrong And baby Maybe stop trying to be my man And start being your own
Maybe then we could get somewhere Instead of going in circles and circles Just to end-up right back here Tired and with... nothing but our good intentions
Cause sorry doesn't cut it Now I Love You sounds nice--but it's still wrong And baby Maybe stop trying to be my man And just be your own
Stop trying and trying (stop trying) To be what I need and just be what you are (theres nothing to prove) I don't have the answers But I know...
That saying sorry doesn't cut it Now I Love You sounds nice--but it's still wrong And baby Maybe stop trying to be my man And just be your own
I hate myself for doing this, I don't know how I sleep. My big mouth making all these promises my heart can't keep. Chorus: Whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh, no no, there I go acting like i care again, promising i'm there again, yeah but i wish i could believe me(2x) like you do. Look at you, I deserve an Emmy, I'm so skilled. Oh, but it's for your own good, I doubt that you could handle it, if I was real. *Chorus* Maybe I'm wrong, and I'm just a coward, so sue me, but my intentions are good. Leading you on, may not be the best solution, but its the easiest one. *Chorus*
I don't like it But I need it Can't even be ashamed I don't want it But I feel it I can't stop it Cus I got it bad for you babe And ooh baby I'm trying I fight a good fight And still you suck me in you suck me in And ooh baby I'm slippin I'm losing my grip and I'm caught in this love trap again I can't stand it But I lose it Oh if you say my name I don't plan it But I choose it I can't change it I just kinda fiend for you babe And ooh baby I'm trying I fight a good fight And still you suck me in you suck me in And ooh baby I'm slippin I'm losing my grip and I'm caught in this love trap again I don't hide it Cuz I tried it It's such sweet misery What if I give in and I face my fear? Would that make you stay or make you disappear? It doesn't matter now which one you say Cuz I still want you, anyway I can't take it Cuz I fake it Oh babe I'm beggin' on my knees And I love it But I hate it I can't shake it Cuz you got a hold on me I fight a good fight And still you suck me in you suck me in And ooh baby I'm slippin I'm losing my grip and I'm caught in this love trap again
Little black girl This is a song for you In case the world is busy And forgets to sing to you They've more important ships to sail Like building malls and saving whales So they don't see That you're the real endangered species Little black girl Can't always believe what you see It doesn't you're dumb Just cuz no one smart looks like you on TV That foul mouthed lady on the news In her houseshoes and curlers isn't you Nor an indication of what you should aspire to Cuz it's a minor miracle just to make your graduation When nowhere in your world is a hint of validation This is not political, it's personal My empathy runs deep Cuz you see, it happened to me So little black girl This is a song for you May not be too much But it's the least I could do Cuz when I look into your eyes I see myself and that is why I give you this and pray it saves you From feeling like I did Little black girl
