You can take me away from my sorrow But you can't take away my scars I stand in the middle of the highway Playing chicken with the cars It's not that I'm destructive I Just want to feel your pain
If there was any way I could have known I would trip and fall away from you If there was anything I could have done To stay in love with you--with you
I wish I could say to you what you are to me But I know it would make you sad You are too good to be my lover But you've been the greatest dad I ever had You made my life so lovely I Just had to mess it up
If there was any way I could have known I would trip and fall from your grace If there was anything I could have done To stay in love with you
If I knew I'd do it twice just to make sure that I did it right
If there was any way that I could have known I would always need to be alone If there was anything I could have done To stay in love with you I'd be in love with you--with you
Don't fly into the sun Your wings will melt and you'll come down I say you'll never know Until you try away I go to the sun I'm waving to the ground I'll see you later
I will go and I will try Anything one time and I Never say, never, why should I? I will try and I will go Anywhere never say, never say Never as why
Who knows tomorrow may never... Come
I can't conceive the day I feel the Earth No not me, I dream of open windows And if you never fly Your wings are useless
I will go, and I will try Anything one time and I Never say, never, why should I? I will fly, and I will go Anywhere never say never say Never as why
I listened to you from your pedestal Telling us all how your world was full of shit Why couldn't you bow and say "Thank you all" To everyone who made you what you are It sent my heart, hurt, crashing down Cuz these are my dreams you're bashing
You're living the life Can't you see you are living the life? You're living the life that I only dream
The kingdom you own, does it drag you down? I'll gladly relieve you of your big shiny crown You say it's so frustrating now I can't believe you're faking
Living the life Seems to me you are living the life You're living the wonderful, wonderful life
Tell me (Tell me), Would you (Would you) Really (Really), rather be a nobody, nobody knows?
You're living the life Don't you see you are living the life? You're living the life that I wanted
Living the life Please don't tell me my dream is a lie Cuz this is the way that I fill my heart
Fill my heart
Fly away home..
Go on and go..
Fly away home..
Go..
Go..
You're living the life You're living the life that I wanted You're Living the life You're living the life that I wanted

One more girl on the top of the Billboard One more girl jumping in with the big boys One more year and I'm still a no one Waiting for my day in the sun
Chorus: Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have oh well... Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have Number twelve - remember me?
You filled me with Great Expectations just to hide me in your basement Did you get from me what you wanted...huh? Did you lose my telephone number?
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have oh well... Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have Number twelve - remember me?
Just ask yourself, "Am I neglecting someone?"
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have oh well... Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have Number twelve - remember me?
Can you tell me why have I come? Why am I in Chicago? I just wanted to kiss the bride, I didn't think I would be seeing you.
And I had to laugh. You were shaking my hand as if we'd never met. And I had to cry. 'Cause the tears were too wet and my eyes were too full knowing I was forgettable.
Did it ever hit you to call? - no phones in your Chicago? There's nothing that I need to convey, just maybe a small "hello" frmo LA.
And I had to laugh. You were searching your head for the right thing to say. And I had to cry. 'Cause the tears were too wet and my eyes were too full knowing I was forgettable.
I can recall every face that I have ever kissed. How did I fall on your "Miss Miscellaneous" list?
And I had to cry. There was no other way to express all my joy. And I had to laugh. When i thought of my fate, it was all I could do knowing I had escaped from you.
