I want to be left alone.
I want to escape to a place where no one knows me.
That I'm wrong about that, that it's my fault,
is all my heart has. I don't need tomorrow.

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
The white snow flows and muffles my tears.
Please help me.

I don't have even one regret.
I've always been living in the present
So that I don't leave even a single trace or footprint,
The candle melts down, this light is extinguished.

Can I scream at the top of my lungs? Until my voice withers away.
The white snow will forgive me for everything.
Please.

I spread my arms wide. I just want to gather the shining snow.
But why? It's so fleeting...

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
The white snow flows and muffles my tears.

Can I scream at the top of my lungs? Until my voice withers away.
The white snow will forgive me for everything.

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
Can I shout loudly? Until my voice withers away.

Can I cry as much as I want to?
Can I scream at the top of my lungs?
Until the snow stops.

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Make me a witness
Take me out
Out of darkness
Out of doubt

I won't weigh you down
With good intention
Won't make fire out of clay
Or other inventions

Will we burn in heaven
Like we do down here
Will the change come
While we're waiting

Everyone is waiting

And when we're done
Soul searching
As we carried the weight
And died for the cause
Is misery
Made beautiful
Right before our eyes
Will mercy be revealed
Or blind us where we stand

Will we burn in heaven
Like we do down here
Will the change come while we're waiting
Everyone is waiting

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor

No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God
When it’s gotten real late
And their kid’s not back from the party yet

No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken

No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or flood

*Chorus*
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what for

No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very
poor

No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
We’re all laughing with God

I want to be left alone.
I want to escape to a place where no one knows me.
That I'm wrong about that, that it's my fault,
is all my heart has. I don't need tomorrow.

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
The white snow flows and muffles my tears.
Please help me.

So that I don't leave even a single trace or footprint,
The candle melts down, this light is extinguished.

Can I scream at the top of my lungs? Until my voice withers away.
The white snow will forgive me for everything.
Please.

I spread my arms wide. I just want to gather the shining snow.
But why? It's so fleeting...

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
The white snow flows and muffles my tears.

Can I scream at the top of my lungs? Until my voice withers away.
The white snow will forgive me for everything.

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
Can I shout loudly? Until my voice withers away.

Can I cry as much as I want to?
Can I scream at the top of my lungs?
Until the snow stops.

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Do you think I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you think that I am blind
nothing left for me to lose?
Must be something on your mind
something lost and left behind
Do you know I’m faking now?

Do you know I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind
something lost for me to find
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

I guess you know I’m faking
when I tell you I love you
I guess you know that I am blind
to everything you say and do
Must be something on my mind
there’s nothing left for me to hide
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face
I need you. I breathe you.
I can’t go through this all again.
We have to succumb to
the feelings we can never face I need you.
I breathe you. I can’t go through this…

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man
Then she told me she had a gun
she says she wants to use it on me now…

The sun is gone and the flowers rot
Words are spaces between us
And I should've been drown in the rivers I've found of token lost
And I should've been down when you made me insecure

So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
'cause I'm so much more than meets the eye

And I'm the one you can never trust
'cause wounds are ways to reveal us
And yeah I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us
But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours

So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
'cause I'm so much more than all your lies

Hate me, break me down
So break me down
So break me down
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
'cause I'm so much more than meets the eye

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all those sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
And there's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose the crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay

I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sunlight
The future's open wide beyond believing
To know why hope dies
Losing what was found, a world so hollow
Suspended in a compromise
The silence of this sound is soon to follow
Somehow sundown

And finding answers is forgetting
All of the questions we call home
Passing the graves of the unknown

Reason clouds my eyes, with splendor fading
Illusions of the sunlight
A reflection of a lie will keep me waiting
With love gone for so long

And this day's ending is the proof of time killing all the faith I know
Knowing that faith is all that I hold

And I've lost who I am, and I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken, rejecting your love
Without, love gone wrong; lifeless words carry on
But I know, all I know's that the end's beginning

Who I am from the start, take me home to my heart
Let me go and I will run, I will not be silent
all this time spent in vain; wasted years wasted gain
All is lost but hope remains and this war's not over

There's a light, there's a sun taking all these shattered ones
To the place we belong, and his love will conquer

And I've lost who I am, and I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken, rejecting your love
Without, love gone wrong; lifeless words carry on
But I know, all I know's that the end's beginning

Who I am from the start, take me home to my heart
Let me go and I will run, I will not be silent
all this time spent in vain; wasted years wasted gain
All is lost but hope remains and this war's not over

There's a light, there's a sun taking all these shattered ones
To the place we belong, and his love will conquer
(this love will conquer, all)

Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sunlight

Wanting to be a good girl,
I gave up all of my freedom
I would have become a boy even,
had mother wished for it

The pregnant little girl walked around
cutting her heels on shards of glass,
heading towards her own execution grounds

I feel no pain, I feel no joy
as my heart slowly begins to die,
starting from the surface of my face

All I ever wanted was friends
and so I chose them with reckless abandonment
I only wanted someone to treat me gently,
and so I moved in with a man

If only I had taken more care of myself
then I could've become more human
instead of this empty, emotionless doll

This pain I feel, this loneliness I feel
Yet nobody is here to save me

I'll try my best in the city
and so I wished upon a star:
"I want to become human"

I know that it was right for me to run away from you and that town on that day

When I showed you an uncomfortable smile and after a long silence got an even worse attitude than before
You rubbed your forehead on the cold asphalt and attacked me for being a disappointment to you
You lost your temper
And I just ignored that
I wonder what are the feelings of those lips
that told me “goodbye” one year ago and are now kissing me

A short lie became a big one, but I hid my real intentions

I prefer a short distance to insufficient words; I thought you would understand me
But I taught you how to cry
And I just ignored that too
They say there are plenty more pretty fish out there in the sea
So why do you still have no one at your side with you?

How outrageous was the dream I was dreaming
Pushing such an arrogant kind of love on you
The smell of winter in the big city isn’t right either
And there’s no Momochi Beach or you or Muromi River either

Now I know that I can’t say such selfish things to you anymore
So I know I can’t tell you to take me to the airport tomorrow even for the last time
All of the warnings are now reality and this is my punishment

I know that it was right for me to run away from you and that town on that day

Happy Birthday To You
Happy Birthday To You
Happy Birthday Dear ××
Happy Birthday To You

Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart too broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken
Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me

I live
I breathe
I let it rain on me
I sleep
I wake
I try hard not to break
I crave
I love
I've waited long enough
I try as hard as I can

chorus

I laugh
I feel
I make believe it's real
I fall
I freeze
I pray down on my knees
I hope
I stand,
I take it like a man
I try as hard as I can

chorus

why do you see
why do you see
why do you see right through me

The road we walked that time is no more
Even so, I keep walking, maybe we'll meet sometime

On the top of the gentle sloping hill, the snow falls slowly I realized I won't reach you
Now, in your room, your favourite flower is...

The day of yesteryear's last snow, an enduring promise were made
When I remembered, the snow began to melt and spilled from my palms

On the top of the gentle sloping hill, the snow falls slowly I realized I won't reach you
Now, in your room, your favourite flower is...

While I was alone by the window, just staring at the snow; it's you I reminiscence
You appear through the glass and I give you the last kiss

Hey... smile, don't cry anymore
From now on, I'll be always watching you

On the top of the gentle sloping hill, the snow falls slowly I realized I won't reach you
Now, in your room, your favourite flower is...

The light quietly dyes the downtown white
You saw the last season's colors

Tears fall reality is cruel, isn't it?
You saw the last season's colors

Maybe your colors will disappear along with the four seasons
The snow melts, the flowers on the street corner are blooming

You saw "the colors" softly melting
On the day of this year's last snow

(A single flower on the street corner As I looked up to the sky, the last snow spilled into my palms)

We met at the place
We can no longer do anything together
We met in this town
I can never love anybody anymore

You are staring at the sky on the hill,
like we used to
I am staring at the hill, where we used to be,
from the sky

I'm a dying flower,
but I want to be in bloom
just one more time, just like before
Tonight, my heart and soul are blending
into the dark
Just for tonight,
I want to be close to you

"If I meet you there,
everything will begin.
I can't do anything anymore.
I will meet you in this town.
I can't love anybody anymore,
I will take you to the hill again"

I'm a dying flower,
but I want to be in bloom
just one more time, just like before
Tonight, my heart and soul are blending
into the dark
Just for tonight,
I want to be close to you

My hand is slipping out of your hand
I am sinking deeply
When I saw you the last time,
I still loved you
The dream will never come true
I'll wait for you on the hill of Acropolis
I just want to sleep with you
The dream will never end

Though we can never return to the past,
I will be reborn and find you
Please wait for me until the time comes.
But, I can't see you on the hill anymore

From when I was young I didn't believe in lucky days
I wanted to go to parties but my mom would always keep me

If this scenario is miscasted, then I'll dropout of it
I'm pulling at this long rail but a thin tightrope would work too

Here I am, nobody noticed My Way

I had few friends but I'd always communicate through the internet
My dreams would only show themselves through girly comics

This could end early if I scream into my mobile
Hey, here is nice - farewell Bye My Life

Wasting time to My World

If this scenario is miscasted, then I'll dropout of it
I'm pulling at this long rail but a thin tightrope would work too

From when I was young it was nothing but bad days
Even during the "Happy New Year" I was slient, my mom and dad were always bickering

This could end early if I scream into my mobile
Hey, here is nice - farewell Bye My Life

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

By hurting you

With an indifferent face you tell a lie
Laughing until you feel sick
“Let’s have nothing but fun” you said

Feeling blue over desiring the impossible
Everyone is seeking tranquility
You’re struggling, but you’ve had enough
Now you’re chasing after a shadow of love

Since the day you appeared
My dull “everyday”s have begun to shine
Now I‘m able to think, “Feeling loneliness, being in pain - that’s not so bad”
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Through painful times and healthy times,
Stormy days and sunny days, let’s walk on together

I’m gonna tell you the truth
I chose an unforeseeably painful path
and you came to support me
You’re the only one I can call a friend

Fake displays of strength and avarice have become meaningless
I’ve been in love with you since that day
When I’m free, with time to spare, there’s no life in being alone
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh… Just a little more
Don’t you give up
Oh don’t ever abandon me
If the cruelty of reality tries to tear us apart
We’ll be drawn more closely to one another
Somehow, somehow, I have a feeling we’ll be able to stand firm
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Every day banalities quickly begin to shine brilliantly
You stole my heart that day
Loneliness and pain, I thought I could deal with
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t leave me alone again

A miracle born from the fading gap
guides each and every soul to where they belong

All I can do
is guide you silently
watching over and protecting you
like the light of the moon that
shines from above

Those deep emotions of yours
The bonds that you desire
If I could become a light that reaches out to you I would...

I pray that I will meet you
To meet the morning sun as I
awaken by your side

The happiness of smiles meeting
The joy of living together
If I could but feel the same wind as you, I would...

Ah even I can't touch your heart at all
No matter what form this love may be I don't care
As long as I can be by your side

The scattered thread travel beyond time
Once again they will bind us once more

Ah, you, I want to protect you,
These overflowing emotions, I'll keep within my own heart, closed forever

Ah the happiness that will come one day, I will embrace it and live on
Now I simply silently close my eyes because

We will one day meet again

I want to be left alone.
I want to escape to a place where no one knows me.
That I'm wrong about that, that it's my fault,
is all my heart has. I don't need tomorrow.

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
The white snow flows and muffles my tears.
Please help me.

I don't have even one regret.
I've always been living in the present
So that I don't leave even a single trace or footprint,
The candle melts down, this light is extinguished.

Can I scream at the top of my lungs? Until my voice withers away.
The white snow will forgive me for everything.
Please.

I spread my arms wide. I just want to gather the shining snow.
But why? It's so fleeting...

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
The white snow flows and muffles my tears.

Can I scream at the top of my lungs? Until my voice withers away.
The white snow will forgive me for everything.

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
Can I shout loudly? Until my voice withers away.

Can I cry as much as I want to?
Can I scream at the top of my lungs?
Until the snow stops.

I stopped somehow
I felt like I heard your voice
Though I knew you couldn't be there
I continued to search for you

The season I was with you was the most dazzling one
Everything we saw was full of brilliance
Since when did we come to want too much?
Though it should be just enough that we were close

I felt like I found a profile like yours
Far across the road
But I didn't stop any more
I looked forward and kept walking

The season I was with you was the shortest one
I felt everything we saw was sweet
What did we leave and what did we lose?
And I wonder how long it takes from now until I can accept it

The season I was with you was the most dazzling one
Everything we saw was full of brilliance
I'm still here alone and thinking over whether it was good
Like one who can hardly resign oneself

However far I escape, I can't have a clean escape
How far does my past chase after me ?

I wonder if my past will catch up with
And pass me before long

Forgive me that I don't tell this to you

Please don't ask me any more
Leave me this way now
And let me make an obvious excuse

Please don't smile
Hiding your distant mind behind your eyes

You already know that, don't you ?

* Please don't say any more
Leave me just a bit more
And let me tell a sweet lie

Please don't ask me any more
Leave me this way now
And let me make an excuse

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long road and on down to the causeway
Do they still LIVE there by the cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed up world

****

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

It's so easy to get lost in this
Lovely brutal world

I must go to sleep
So I can scream as loud as I want
Without attention
I must go to sleep
So I can follow the whispers
To my dreams

Come back into the world shiny & new
I will meet you there when everything's okay
We'll have a good old time together
I'll have new ideas
I'll be able to laugh
I'll be able to love myself

I float on the water
Trying to find a direction
A place for me

It's time to sleep
I feel tears over-flowing
My emotions

Come back into the world shiny & new
I will meet you there when everything's okay
We'll have a good old time together
I'll have new ideas
I'll be able to laugh
I'll be able to love myself

It’s a sunrise
It’s a sunset
It’s the memory of the onset
Of a lifetime full of wonder
And the constant falling under
Full of finding every good thing
To be added to the sadness
Like you’re running from your laughter
And your sense of it’s a wonder
And the only time for brilliance
What did you do to be like this
And what do you do
When you feel it and you don’t go
Pretend that you don’t know

I was a good kid I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid With a nice paper-round
Forgive me any pain I may have brung to you
With God's help I know I'll always be near to you
But Jesus hurt me When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven Jesus For all the desire
He placed in me when there's nothing I can do With this desire

I was a good kid Through hail and snow I'd go
Just to moon you I carried my heart in my hand
Do you understand? Do you understand?
But Jesus hurt me When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven Jesus For all of the love
He placed in me When there's no-one I can turn to with this love

Monday - humiliation, Tuesday - suffocation
Wednesday - condescension, Thursday - is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me
By Friday life has killed me
(Oh pretty one, Oh pretty one)

Why did you give me So much desire?
When there is nowhere I can go To offload this desire
And why did you give me So much love
In a loveless world
When there's no one I can turn to To unlock all this love
And why did you stick me in
Self-deprecating bones and skin
Jesus - do you hate me? Why did you stick me in
Self-deprecating bones and skin
Do you hate me? do you hate me?
Do you hate me? do you hate me? Do you hate me?

I'm not feeling so bold
Can't you see I don't wanna grow old?
And my photograph's an epitaph of parody
I don't wanna be me

I'm not feeling so sure
It would help if you offered a cure
If I wait, it's too late for the remedy
I don't wanna be me

You won't save me
'Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So, don't blame me
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run

I'm not feeling so well
Maybe we could just sit for a spell?
And make amends, it depends on my injury
I don't wanna be me, I don't wanna be me
I don't wanna be me

You won't save me
'Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So, don't blame me
If I decide to just run

You won't save me
'Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So, don't blame me
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run

If I decide to go hide or instead to just run...
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run

Dreaming comes so easily
'cause it's all that i've known
True love is a fairy tale
I'm damaged, so how would i know

I'm scared and i'm alone
I'm ashamed
And i need for you to know

I didn't say all the things that i wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've taken away
'cause i feel you, i feel you near me

I didn't say all the things that i wanted to say

And you can't take back what you've taken away
'cause i feel you, i feel you near me

Healing comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Will anyone get close to me?
I'm damaged, as i'm sure you know

There's mending for my soul
An ending to this fear
Forgiveness for a man who was stronger
I was just a little girl, but i can't go back

I'm not a stranger
No I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

A fragile flame aged
Is misery
And when our hearts meet
I know you see

I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut

I may seem crazy
Or painfully shy
And these scars wouldn't be so hidden
If you would just look me in the eye
I feel alone here and cold here
Though I don't want to die
But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside

I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut
Pain
I am not alone
I am not alone

I'm not a stranger
No I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

But I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I found it when
I was cut

She walks to school with a lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back;
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace;
oh

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask;
Bearing the burdon of a secret storm,
Sometimes she wishes she was never born;

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night,
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights;
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,
When morning comes it will be too late.

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

A statue stands in a shaded place,
An angel girl with an upturned face;
Her name is written on a polished rock,
A broken heart that the world forgot.

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in.
But I've broken all my promises to you
I've broken all my promises to you.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?

A phrasing that's a single tear,
Is harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone.
Because these days aren't easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren't easy anymore.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.

I should have known this wasn't real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most? Everything
That you feel while listening to every word that I sing.
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home.

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.

It's a shame that it had to be this way
It's not enough to say I'm sorry
It's not enough to say I'm sorry

Maybe I'm to blame
Or maybe were the same
But either way I can't breathe
Either way I can't breathe

All I had to say is goodbye
Were better off this way
Were better off this way

I'm alive but I'm losing all my drive
Cause everything we've been through
And everything about you
Seemed to be a lie
A guiltless twisted lie
It made me learn to hate you
Or hate myself for letting it pass by

All I had to say is goodbye
Were better off this way
Were better off this way
All I had to say is goodbye
Were better off this way
Were better off this way

And every, everything isn't only
What it seemed so hold these
Words that you never told me
Its time to say goodbye
Its time to say goodbye
Its time to say goodbye
Goodbye

Bye

Take my hand away
Spell it out
Tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Take my hand away
Spell it out
Tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Take my hand away
Spell it out
Tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong

Can you see me from your place ?
Are you watching over me ?

Though this may be a common expression
You stay alive
Always as you are
In my heart

All gets broken into dusts
In an instant
And we wonder what on earth we have spent
Time and thought for

I took the courage to approach you
Because I wanted to be loved by you
But I stayed as far as I could from you
Because I didn't want to be disliked by you

Break, breakdown, steadily breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown, steadily breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown, steadily breakin' me on down
Break, breakdown, steadily breakin' me on down

You call yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to beel similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry

So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing I will survive
Do you lash out and say How dare you leave this way
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly loosing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry

Gonna break ya down, only if ya let it
Everyday crazy situations rockin' my mind tryin' to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it
I be feelin' like you're breakin' me down
Kickin' me 'round, stressin' me out
I think I better go and get out and let me release some stress
Don't ever wanna feel no pain, pain
Hopin' for the sun, but it looks like
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Lord, I just wanna maintain
Yeah, I can feel the pressures, y'all
But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall
It's over
It's endin' here

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly loosing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'till I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then breakdown and cry

It's hard to explain
Inherently it's just always been strange
Neither here or there
Always somewhat out of place everywhere
Ambiguous
Without a sense of belonging to touch
Somewhere halfway
Feeling there's no one completely the same

Standing alone
Eager to just
Believe it's good enough
To be what you really are
But in your heart
Uncertainty forever lies
And you'll always be
Somewhere on the
Outside

Early on, you face
The realization you don't
Have a space
Where you fit in
And recognize you
Were born to exist

Standing alone
Eager to just
Believe it's good enough
To be what you really are
But in your heart
Uncertainty forever lies
And you'll always be
Somewhere on the
Outside

And it's hard
And it's hard
And it's hard

Irreversibly falling in between
And it's hard
And it's hard
To be understood
As you are
As you are

Oh, and God knows
That you're standing on your own
Blind and unguided
Into a world divided
You're thrown
Where you're never quite the same
Although you try, try and try
To tell yourself
You really are
But in your heart uncertainty forever lies
And you'll always be
Somewhere on the outside

Petals

I've often wondered if there's
Ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness
And sought stability

A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flailing in the wind
Like golden petals scattering

And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you

But I miss you dandelion
And even love you

I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery

A boy and a girl befriended me
Were bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
I'll always love you
And although you're struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother

So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep

And I missed a lot of life
But I'll recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, valentine
And really loved you

I really loved you
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity

And I found the strength to break away
Fly

I'd move to Rockferry tomorrow
And I'd build my house baby with sorrow
I'll leave my shadow to fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you 'cause I'm not that kind

The midnight trains are boarding, all wrap up 8's
I pick my load and I fill my truck before it?s too late
I leave the stars to judge my every move
I'm not going to think of you or I'll get the blues

There?s no sleep on the journey away from time
A bag of songs and a heavy heart won't make me down
I'll give it all my strength and my might
I'll make this decision, win all the fights

I'll move to Rockferry tomorrow
And I'll build my house baby with sorrow
I'll leave my shadow to fall behind
And I wouldn't write to you 'cause I'm not that kind
Not that kind

Rockferry, not that kind...

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Meet me by the entrance of the tube
We can talk things over little time
Promise me you won't step outta line

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Please draw the past and be true
Don’t say we’re okay
Just because I’m here
You hurt me bad but I wont shed a tear

I’m leaving you for the last time baby
You think you're loving,
But you don’t love me
And I’ve been confused
Outta my mind lately
You think you’re loving,
But I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me.

When I get to Warwick Avenue
We’ll spend an hour but no more than two
Our only chance to speak once more
I showed you answers, now here’s the door

When I get to Warwick Avenue
I’ll tell baby there we’re through

Cause I’m leaving you for the last time baby
You think you’re loving,
But you don’t love me
And I’ve been confused
An outta my mind lately
You think you’re loving,
But you don’t love me
I want to be free, baby

All the days spent together
I wish for better,
And I didn’t want the train to come
Now it’s departed, I’m broken hearted
Seems like we never started
All those days spent together
When I wished for better
And I didn’t want the train to come.
No, no.

You think you’re loving
But you don’t love me
I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me
You don’t love me
I want to be free
Baby you’ve hurt me

It's been a minute since you left me
Out here on my own
And I'd never felt this empty
Since I been alone
And the silence is louder than any fight we've ever had before
You don't even know
The time for night to turn to morning
Never took this long
And there's nothing to take from me
Cause you're already gone
Bein hurt for a while's how I'll get over you

So keep callin me names, babe
Tell everyone I'm crazy
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget bout me and you
If it's easier to hate me
Then go on have your way babe
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget bout me and you

I can't remember to forget you
Whenever there's another
accidently just compare you
But they don't measure up
Every mile that I steer
Every song that I hear is a memory of you
Please leave me alone
And no matter what
Please don't regret all the times you
Pretend you don't see me
It's pathetic I try to despise you
Just like you do with me
Love just don't disappear especially when it's true

So keep callin me names, babe
Tell everyone I'm crazy
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget bout me and you
If it's easier to hate me
Then go on have your way babe
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget bout me and you

Sometimes it takes you feel you've died to know you really are alive in here
And I'd trade my soul
Just to wake up from
This nightmare they all say is my life now
Baby I don't wanna make it all harder for you
But I love you like crazy if you gotta hate me
Then do what you gotta do
Ohh(no,no,no)

So keep callin me names, babe
Tell everyone I'm crazy

To forget bout me and you

Ohh oh oh

You're the wrong man for the job,
hmmm..

I thought that you were the best part of me,
Baby I guess that we just believe what, we wanna believe
I thought, I knew you so well , I couldn't tell
That this was sinking so deep, I see it now, I'm breathing now,
It's time for me... for me.. to let it go

It was cool when it started, but now the flame has gone
You're the wrong man for the job,
My heart is breaking into pieces, but still I'm moving on,
You're the wrong man for the job,
I cant believe that it took me so long to realise,
Finally know what it feels like (you're the wrong man for the job)
I'm starting over but, I won't be afraid
I'm sorry to say,
You're the wrong man for the job

Oh..
Sometimes I wish I could take back everything,
It'd be easier to never have known you,
I would spare myself so much pain,
Still I can't stop thinkin' 'bout,
What I'mma doing without you on the lonely nights,
But now I know, what I gotta do,
I can't ever change you,
Lettin' it go tonight..

Hey
It was cool when it started, but now the flame has gone
You're the wrong man for the job,
My heart is breaking into pieces, but still I'm moving on,
You're the wrong man for the job,
I can't believe that it took me so long to realise,
Finally know what it feels like ooh.. (you're the wrong man for the job)
I'm starting over but, I won't be afraid
I'm sorry to say,
You're the wrong man for the job (for the job)

I'm looking for somebody to love me, (the way I should be loved)
I need someone to do more for me, then you have ever done,
I love you but you're not the one...!

It was cool when it started but now the flame has gone
You're the wrong man for the job, (for the job)
My heart is breaking into pieces, but still I'm moving on, (moving on)

No no no...

Thinking back when we got together
And in our hearts we were saying forever,
So in love, boy we were so in love, mm..
Jealous wasn't what we wanted, we broke up
You looked in my eyes I should've spoke up, and held you near
Now I'm alone and here it comes again

Cause I remember every word that you said
It all keeps on spinning around in my head
But it don't matter what I try to do
I keep on forgetting to forget about you
And I don't wanna think about you baby so much
All the things we didn't know the way that we touched
Just when I think about someone new
I keep on forgetting to forget about you, forget about you, forget about
Watch me turn around, forgetting to forget about you, forget about me and you

I'd be crazy to say that we were perfect,
And sometimes I wondered if it was worth it
But now I see, how good you were for me
And everytime I drive by your apartment
I get this overwhelming urge to walk in and see your face
And to be in that place, all over again

Cause I remember every word that you said
It all keeps on spinning around in my head
But it don't matter what I try to do
I keep on forgetting to forget about you
And I don't wanna think about you baby so much
All the things we did it didn't know the way we touched
Just when I think about someone new
I keep on forgetting to forget about you, forget about you, forget about
Watch me turn around, forgetting to forget about you, forget about me and you

The way we laughed, the way we kissed
I never thought that I would miss all the things I used to complain about you (ooh~)
The football games, hometown friends, I was glad to see it end
But tell me why I feel so alone without you.. ooh...
yeah... here it comes again...!

Cause I remember every word that you said (you)
It all keeps on spinning around in my head
But it don't matter what I try to do
I keep on forgetting to forget about you
And I don't wanna think about you baby so much (so much)
All the things we did it didn't know the way we touched (we touched)
Just when I think about someone new (new)
I keep on forgetting to forget about you,

Cause I remember every word that you said (you)
It all keeps on spinning around in my head
But it don't matter what I try to do
I keep on forgetting to forget about you, forget about you, forget about
Watch me turn around, forgetting to forget about you, forget about me and you
I can't forget about you
