#verse masterlist

venice bitch

The summer fades away / Nothing gold can stay

Paint me happy and blue

If you weren't mine, I'd be jealous of your love

fuck it i love you

I like to see everything in neon

Maybe the way that I'm living is killing me

I moved to California, but it's just a state of mind / It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself

Dream a little dream of me, make me into something sweet

Fuck it, I love you / I really do

Wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine

If I wasn't so fucked up, I think I'd fuck you all the time

California dreamin', I got my money on my mind

Drugs is in my veins, running out of time

doin’ time

Summertime, and the livin's easy

I love her so bad, but she treats me like shit

Take this veil from off my eyes

My burning sun will, some day, rise

Ornery, scandalous and evil, most definitely

I'd like to hold her head underwater

love song

We go so fast, we don't move

I'm a star and I'm burnin' through you

Be my once in a lifetime

[I] would like to think that you would stick around

You know that I'd just die to make you proud

Touch me anywhere 'cause I'm your baby

I believe that you see me for who I am

Is it safe to just be who we are?

cinnamon girl

You try to push me out but I just find my way back in

There's things I wanna say to you / But I'll just let you live

If you hold me without hurting me, you'll be the first who ever did

Kerosene in my hands, you make me mad, I'm fire again

how to disappear

The waves came in over my head

All of the guys tell me lies, but you don't

This is how to disappear

Cuts on his face 'cause he fought too hard

He's in over his head

He moves mountains and pounds them to ground again

I think about those years

I'm always going to be right here / No one's going anywhere

california

You don't ever have to be stronger than you really are

I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing / I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing

This is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flip side

We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how far

You're scared to win, scared to lose

Changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you

the next best american record

My baby used to dance underneath my architecture

We gave all we had

'Cause we were just that good / It was just that good

Whatever's on tonight, I just wanna party with you

You made me feel like there's something that I never knew I wanted

We lost track of space / We lost track of time

It's you, all the roads lead to you

I see you for who you really are

the greatest

I miss dancin' with you

Those nights were on fire / We couldn't get higher

We didn't know that we had it all

But nobody warns you before the fall

Don't leave, I just need a wake up call

I guess I'm signin' off after all

I want shit to feel just like it used to

I guess that I'm burned out after all

"Life on Mars" ain't just a song

bartender

Sometimes girls just want to have fun

The poetry inside of me is warm like a gun

I'm just tryna keep my love alive

Hold me all night

Our love's alive

Baby remember, I'm not drinking wine

Our love's sweet enough on the vine

Wearing white for their tea parties

Meditating in the garden

I love the little games that we play

When at last the day is done / I grab my keys

They don't yet know where I reside

60 miles from the last place I hide

happiness is a butterfly

Do you want me or do you not?

I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another

Happiness is a butterfly / Try to catch it like every night

It escapes from my hands into moonlight

Every day is a lullaby

If he's a serial killer, then / what's the worst that could happen to a girl who's already hurt

I'm already hurt

I guess I'm cursed

Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt

Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi

Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat

I was one thing, now I'm being another

I lose myself in the music

hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it

Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts

I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown

Writing in blood on my walls

The ink in my pen don't work in my notepad

Don't ask if I'm happy / You know that I'm not

At best, I can say I'm not sad

Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have

Church basement romances

Calling from beyond the grave

Like a goddamn near sociopath

She couldn't care less, and I never cared more

There's no more to say about that

There's a new revolution / A loud evolution

Born of confusion and quiet collusion

A modern day woman with a weak constitution

I've got monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off

LUST FOR LIFE (2017)

love

Look at you kids with your vintage music

You're part of the past, but now you're the future

Signals crossing can get confusing

You get all dressed up to go nowhere in particular

Doesn't matter 'cause it's enough to be young and in love

The world is yours and you can't refuse it

Seen so much, you could get the blues but that don't mean that you should abuse it

It doesn't matter if I'm not enough / For the future or the things to come

lust for life

In these stolen moments, the world is mine

Keepin' me hot like July

We're the masters of our own fate

A lust for life keeps us alive

My boyfriend's back and he's cooler than ever

There's no more night, blue skies forever

They say only the good die young

There's no stopping now, green lights forever

13 beaches

I don't belong in the world / But that's what it is

Something separates me from other people

Everywhere I turn / There's something blocking my escape

It took thirteen beaches to find one empty

I'm camera ready almost all the time

But I still get lonely

Let your memory dance in the ballroom of my mind

It hurts to love you / But I still love you

I still love you, it's just the way I feel

I've been dying for something real

Finally I'm fine

In the white sunshine

You can still find me if you ask nicely

Underneath the pines with the daisies, feeling hazy

cherry

Real love, it's like feeling no fear / When you're standing in the face of danger

It's like heaven taking the place of something evil

I fall to pieces when I'm with you

And all of my peaches are ruined

It's like smiling when the firing squad's against you / And you just stay lined up

My rose garden dreams, set on fire by fiends

And all my black beaches are ruined

white mustang

Packing all my things for the summer

Lying on my bed it's a bummer / 'Cause I didn't call when I got your number

But I liked you a lot

Slippin' on my dress in soft filters

Everybody said you're a killer, but I couldn't stop the way I was feeling

Caught up in my dreams and forgetting

I've been acting like armageddon ['cause you] Held me in your arms just a little too tight

Summer's meant for loving and leaving

I was such a fool for believing / that you could change all the ways you've been living

You're gonna hit me like lightening

summer bummer

It's never too late to be who you wanna be

Leave if you wanna leave / Stay if you wanna stay

I got a feeling in my bones / Can't get you out of my veins

You can't escape my affection

Wrap you up in my daisy chains

Let's skip the games, let's quit the playin'

Between you and me I'm usually single

White lies and black beaches

Miles in between us

We traveled for weeks, just to escape your demons

groupie love

You're in the bar, playing guitar / You're in the club, living it up

It's so sweet, swingin' to the beat

I know that you're doing it all for me

Every time you look up I know what you're thinking of

Time after time, writing my lines

This is my life, you by my side

Key lime and perfume and festivals

Taking our dreams, turning them to things

It's like magic, babe, isn't life wonderful?

in my feelings

I'm smoking while I'm runnin' on my treadmill

I'm cutting up roses, could it be that I fell for another loser

I'm crying while I'm cummin' / Sobbin' in my cup of coffee

Get that cigarette smoke out of my face

You've been wasting my time

Talk that talk, well now they all know your name

There's no coming back from the place that you came

You got me in my feelings

Talking in my sleep again

Who's tougher than this bitch

I'm feeling all my fucking feelings

I'm laughing as I'm taking my prisoners

In the smoke they can hear me coming

If you were me, and I was you / I'd get out of my way

Got me feeling so blue make a mess of the love

coachella - woodstock in my mind

For a minute it was Woodstock in my mind

They put out the warning tensions were rising over country lines

I turned off the music tried to sit and use it

All of the love that I saw that night

What about all these children and what about all their parents

What about about all their crowns they wear

Wrapped up like garland roses 'round their little heads

I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven

I'd trade the fame and the fortune and the legend

Critics can be so mean sometimes

Doesn't take a genius to know what you've got going and to

Got a million things I wanna say

What is it all for? Will it be okay

god bless america - and all the beautiful women in it

Take me as I am

Only you can save me tonight

There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

You let me in, don't leave me out or leave me dry

Even when I'm alone i’m not lonely

I hear the sweetest melodies on the fire escapes of the city

God bless America, and all the beautiful women in it

Take me as I am don't see me for what I'm not

With you I've got nothing to lose

when you talk that talk with those lips I'm most certain in hell

when the world was at war we kept dancing

Don't forget your pearls and all of your horses

As you make your way across the pond, don't forget your curls

Memorize them in a little song

Shake it up, throw your hands up and get loose

Is it the end of an era?

It's only the beginning

If we hold on to hope we'll have a happy ending

If you find you're in a foreign land don't make too much noise

Don't try to be funny / Other people may not understand

beautiful people beautiful problems

Blue is the color of the planet from the view above

Long live our reign, long live our love

Green is the planet from the eyes of a turtle dove / 'Til it runs red, runs red with blood

We get so tired and we complain 'bout how it's hard to live

But we're just beautiful people with beautiful problems

Warm is the body of the girl from the land he loves

My heart is soft, my past is rough

Something close to like a sugar rush

But is it wasted love? / It's not wasted love

But we gotta try every day and night

tomorrow never came

Hey, what you doing?

Baby don't ask me why

On that side of paradise

If I had my way you'd would always stay

I'll be your tiny dancer, honey

I waited for you / In the spot you said to wait

In the city, on a park bench in the middle of the pouring rain

I just wanted things to be the same / You said to meet me out there tomorrow but tomorrow never came

I wish we had stayed home

I could put on the radio to our favourite song

heroin

The rumbling from distant shores sends me to sleep

The facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream

Grab me by the ribbons in my hair

Life rocked me, ultra-softly like the heavy metal that you wear

Flying to the moon again / Dreaming about heroin

Probably gave you everything And took your life away

I put you on an aeroplane destined for a foreign land

My hopes that you come back again / And tell me everything's Okay

I want to leave, I'll probably stay another year / It's hard to live when absolutely nothing's clear

Something 'bout this weather made these kids go crazy / Something 'bout this sun has made these kids get scary

I'll be lying if I said I wasn't sick of it

Taking all my medicine to take my thoughts away

I hope that I'd come back one day

Don't know what it is that makes my head get crazy

change

There's something in the wind I can feel it blowing in

Lately I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care

Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn?

Change is a powerful thing people are powerful beings

Maybe by the time this song is done I'll be able to be honest, capable

Holding you in my arms without letting you fall / When I don't feel beautiful

Maybe it's enough to just be where we are because

Everytime that we run we don't know what it's from

There's something in the water I can taste it turning sour / It's bitter, I'm coughing but now it's in my blood

get free

Finally, I'm crossing the threshold / From the ordinary world to the reveal of my heart

Take the dead out of the sea and the darkness from the arts

I'm doing it for all of us 

All my birds of paradise who never got to fly at night

It feels like I've got a war in my mind, I want to get off but I keep riding the ride

I never really notice that I had to decide to play someone's game or to live my own life and now I do

Out of the black, Into to the blue

Gone is the burden of the crawling way of being

We're not in your right mind

There's no more chasing rainbows / Their arches are illusions 

You try to touch them, there's nothing to hold on to

HONEYMOON (2015)

honeymoon

Don't go 'cause truly there's nobody for you but me

We could cruise to the blues

The history of violence that surrounds you

There's nothing to lose now that I've found you

There are violets in your eyes / There are guns that blaze around you / There are roses in between my thighs

music to watch boys to

Singing soft grunge just to soak up the noise

I've been sent to destroy

I know what only the girls know

Lies can buy you eternity

terrence loves you

I don't matter to anyone

I lost myself when I lost you

I won't change you for anything

Isn't strange that you're not here with me

I know the light's on in the television

god knows i tried

Sometimes I wake up in the morning, To red, blue, and yellow skies / It's so crazy I could drink it like tequila sunrise

Dance around like I'm insane

I feel free when I see no one, and nobody knows my name

God knows I live / God knows I died / God knows I begged, borrowed and cried /God knows I loved / God know I lied /God knows I lost / God gave me life / And God knows I tried

Sometimes I wake up in the morning, to red, blue and yellow lights

On Monday they destroyed me, but by Friday I'm revived

I've got nothing much to live for

Light up my life

high by the beach

Look at you looking at me

I know you know how I feel

Loving you is hard, being here is harder

I don't wanna do this anymore, it's so surreal

I can't survive if this is all that's real

All I wanna do is get high by the beach

The truth is I never bought into your bullshit

You could be a bad motherfucker / But that don't make you a man

Now you're just another one of my problems / Because you got out of hand

We won't survive we're sinking into the sand

Don't need your money to get me what I want, i’ll do it on my own

Everyone can start again

Not through love but through revenge

Through the fire, we're born again

Peace by vengeance brings the end

freak

Flames so hot that they turn blue

Palms reflecting in your eyes, like an endless summer

That's the way I feel for you

If time stood still I'd take this moment, make it last forever

Screw your anonymity

Loving me is all you need to feel

Talk till we both turn blue

Life makes sense when I'm with you

Looking back, my past, it all seems stranger than a stranger

It's like I told you, If you stay, I'll stay

art deco

You're not mean, you just want to be seen

Want to be wild

A little party never hurt no one

You want in but you just can't win

Shining like gun metal, cold and unsure

When they all say hello you try to ignore them

You put your life out on the line

religion

Everything is fine now

Let's sleep in the dark's day

All our minds made up now, all our beds are made

No one's out of time, no chips fall wherever they may

Leave it all behind, let the ocean wash it away

It never was about the money or the drugs / It never was about the party or the clubs

'Cause you're my religion, you're how I'm living

When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray

Hallelujah, I need your love

Everything is bright now no more cloudy days

Even when the storms come, in the eye we'll stay

No need to survive now, all we do is play

salvatore

Everything looks better from above my king

Like aqua marine, ocean's blue

All the lights are sparkling for you it seems

I adore you, can't you see, you're meant for me?

Summer's hot but I've been cold without you

the blackest day

I don't really wanna break up

It's not easy for me to talk about a half-life in lost dreams

And not simple, it's trigonometry

It's hard to express I can't explain

Ever since my baby went away it's been the blackest day

Because I'm going deeper and deeper, getting darker and darker

don't wanna talk about the things to come

Looking for love in all the wrong places

I got you where I want you

I'm falling for forever

I'm playing head games with you

24

There's only 24 hours in a day, and half as many ways for you to lie to me

Half of those, you lay awake with thoughts of murder and carnage

If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas

Be careful of the company you keep

Lie like you lie

Love like you love

There's only 24 hours in a day and half of those you lay between the sheets with me

Give me your heat

Give me your diamonds

And my crooked lust

You count to three while they're all dying

You're hard to reach

You're cold to touch

swan song

Why work so hard when you could just be free?

You got your moment now, you got your legacy

Let's leave the world for the ones who change everything

Nothing could stop the two of us

Let's just get lost, that's what we want

With just one wave it goes away

Dive in, dive deep in dark blue suede

Rushing up from the water where the ice meets

And you've been gone so long, you missed everything

Say good night to the life in the world we live

don’t let me be misunderstood

Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?

When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry

I want you to know I never meant to take it out on you

Life has its problems and I get more than my share

Baby, I'm just human

Don't you know I have faults like anyone?

ULTRAVIOLENCE (2014)

cruel world

Share my body and my mind with you

There's not anymore I can do

And I like my candy and your women

I'm finally happy now that you're gone

Because you're young, you're wild, you're free

You're dancing circles around me

You're fucking crazy

I love your women and all of your heroin

Everybody knows that I'm a mess

ultraviolence

I was filled with poison but blessed with beauty and rage

He hit me and it felt like a kiss

This is ultraviolence

I can hear sirens

He used to call me poison, like I was poison ivy

I could've died right then

He hurt me but it felt like true love

[Jim] taught me that loving him was never enough

Crying tears of gold, like lemonade

shades of cool

My baby lives in shades of blue

And when he calls he calls for me, not for you

I can't fix him, can't make him better

I can't do nothing about his strange weather

I can't break through your world

Your heart is unbreakable

He prays for love, he prays for peace

brooklyn baby

They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don't understand

I think I'm too cool to know ya

You say I'm like the ice I freeze

You say I'm too dumb to see

They judge me like a picture book, by the colors, like they forgot to read

I think we're like fire and water / I think we're like the wind and sea

If you don't like it you can beat it

You never liked the way I said it

If you don't get it, then forget it so I don't have to fucking explain it

I get high on hydroponic weed

Yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool but he's not as cool as me

west coast

That's why I'm leaving you for the music

I push it hard you pull away 

I'm feeling hotter than fire

There's no one else that brings me higher than higher

You say you miss me and I wanna say I miss you so much but something keeps me really quiet

sad girl

It might not appeal to fools like you

He's got the fire and he walks with fame

Being a bad bitch on the side

We've been around when he gets high

pretty when you cry

All the pretty stars shine for you

Am I the girl that you dream of?

You make me feel like your whole world

I'll wait for you, babe, that's all I do

I'm pretty when I cry

All those special times I spent with you, my love, they don't mean shit compared to all your drugs

Like my memories, I don't need that

Don't say you need me when you're leaving

money power glory

How are we supposed to get there

That's not what this bitch wants

I want money, power and glory

I wanna take you for all that you got

The sun also rises on those who fail to call

My life, it comprises of losses and wins and fails and falls

fucked my way up to the top

Lay me down tonight in my linen and curls

I fucked my way up to the top

This is my show

I'm a dragon, you're a whore

Mimicking me is a fucking bore to me

Lay me down tonight in my diamonds and pearls

Tell me songs at night about your favorite girl

Need you baby, like I breathe you

old money

Where have you been? Where did you go?

Those summer nights seem long ago

But if you send for me, you know I'll come / And if you call for me, you know I'll run

Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time

Will you still love me when I shine from words but not from beauty

My father's love was always strong / My mother's glamour lives on and on

Yet still inside, I felt alone for reasons unknown to me

black beauty

I paint my nails black / I dye my hair a darker shade of brown

I paint the sky black

It suits the mood of your soul

Nothing, my sparrow blue

Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue It don't make sense to you

Paint the house black

My wedding dress black leather, too

You have no room for light

Love is lost on you

I keep my lips red, they seem like cherries in the spring

Darling, you can't let everything seem so dark blue

guns and roses

Heavy metal love of mine

I should have learned to let you stay

You didn't want me all the time but you were worth it anyway

You were so much better than the rest of them

Out of all the others you were the honest man

I should have learned to let you play

I wasn't the marrying kind I should have done it anyway

Back to the promised land

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

I can see you bathing in the summer light

You got game boy

florida kilos

They're special, just for you

Loving you is free

I like it down way low

Prison isn't nothing to me, if you'll be by my side

Sun in my mouth and gold hoops

We could get high in Miami

PARADISE (2012) 

ride

I've been out on that open road

Singing blues has been getting old

You can be my full time, baby, Hot or cold

Don't break me down

I've been travelin' too long, I've been trying too hard

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast / I am alone in the night

Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I've got a war in my mind

So, I just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard

Drink all day and we talk 'til dark / That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy / I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes

I look up to hear myself saying, baby

american

Play house, put my favorite record on

Flirting with the girls like you're so pretty

You make me crazy, you make me wild

Be young, be dope be proud

Drive fast, I can almost taste it now

I don't even have to fake it now

You're way ahead of the trend

Honey put on that party dress

I don't really want the rest, only you can take me there

I don't even know what I'm saying but I'm praying for you

cola

My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola / My eyes are wide like cherry pies

I got sweet taste for men who're older /It's always been so it's no surprise

We can escape to the great sunshine

I know your wife and she wouldn't mind

I wear my diamonds on skid row

I pledge allegiance to my dad, for teaching me everything he knows

Don't treat me rough, treat me really nice

body electric

Jesus is my bestest friend

We don't need nobody, 'cause we got each other / Or at least I pretend

We get down every Friday night

Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind

I sing the body electric / I’m on fire

My clothes still smell like you and all the photographs say you're still young

I pretend I'm not hurt and go about the world like I'm havin' fun

blue velvet

She wore blue velvet / Bluer than velvet was the night

Softer than satin was the light From the stars

Warmer than may her tender sighs

Ours a love I held tightly

Feeling the rapture grow like a flame burning brightly

But when she left, gone was the glow

I still can see blue velvet through my tears

gods & monsters

In the land of gods and monsters

I was an angel living in the garden of evil

Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed

Shining like a fiery beacon

You got that medicine I need / Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly

Put your hands on my waist, do it softly

Me and God, we don't get along

No one's gonna take my soul away

Headed towards a fucked up holiday

Fuck yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want

It's innocence lost

I was an angel, lookin' to get fucked hard

Life imitates art

Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please

I don't really wanna know what's good for me

God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me'

When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me crazy

If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby?

You tell me life isn't that hard

yayo

I like the snake on your tattoo

I like the Ivy and the Ink blue

You have to take me right now / From this dark trailer park

Put me onto your black motorcycle

Fifties baby doll dress for my 'I do"

It only takes two hours to Nevada

I wear your sparkle

You call me your mama, Let me put on a show for you daddy

Let me put on a show

Need you like a drug

Hello Heaven / You are a tunnel lined with yellow lights

bel air

Gargoyles standing at the front of your gate

Trying to tell me to wait, but I can't wait to see you

So I run, like I'm mad, to heaven's door / I don't wanna be bad

I won't cheat you no more

I've been waiting to meet you / Darling I'm waiting to greet you

The violentest kind of love anywhere out there

Mon amour, sweet child of mine, You're divine

Didn't anyone ever tell you / It's okay to shine?

Don't be ashamed / Walk in the way of my soft resurrection

I know your name

Lead me to war with your brilliant direction

Grenadine sunshine, and it fades sublime

BORN TO DIE (2012) 

born to die

Feet don't fail me now, take me to your finish line

My heart it breaks every step that I take

I'm hoping that the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine

Walking through the city streets / Is it by mistake or design?

I feel so alone on a Friday night /Can you make it feel like home if I tell you you're mine?

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why

Keep making me laugh / Let's go get high

The road is long, we carry on / Try to have fun in the meantime

Come take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words, this is the last time

Lost but now I am found / I can see but once I was blind

I was so confused as a little child

Tried to take what I could get / Scared that I couldn't find All the answers

off to the races

I can't deny the way he holds my hand and he grabs me / He has me by my heart

He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Swimming pool Glimmering darling / White bikini off with my red nail polish

Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples

Light of my life, fire in my loins / Be a good baby, do what I want

Gimme them gold coins, gimme them coins

Facing time again at Riker's Island and I won't get out / Because I'm crazy, baby

I need you to come here and save me

I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singing in the garden / Kiss me on my open mouth, ready for you

But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam

And he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul

He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life / In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me

Slipping on my red dress, putting on my make up / Glass film, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes

Says it feels like heaven to him

I'm gonna stay and pray with him till the end

I trust in the decision of the law, to watch over us

I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him / Who else is gonna put up with me this way?

I need you, I breathe you, I'll never leave you

They would rue the day, I was alone without you

You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips

blue jeans

Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn

But you fit me better than my favorite sweater

That love is mean, and love hurts

I still remember that day we met in December

I will love you 'til the end of time / I would wait a million years

Promise you'll remember that you're mine

Baby can you see through the tears?

When you walked out that door, a piece of me died

I just want it like before

video games

Pull up in your fast car whistling my name

It's you, it's you, it's all for you

I heard that you like the bad girls honey, is that true?

Swinging with the old stars, living for the fame

Kissing in the blue dark

He holds me in his big arms / Drunk and I am seeing stars

diet mountain dew

You're no good for me but baby, I want you

Do you think we'll be in love forever?

Baby, put on heart shaped sunglasses, 'Cause we gonna take a ride

I'm not gonna listen to what the past says

I've been waiting up all night

Take another drag, turn me to ashes

Maybe I like this roller coaster, maybe it keeps me high

Can we hit it now low down and gritty

national anthem

Money is the anthem of success/Money is the reason we exist

He says to "be cool" but, I don't know how yet

Tell me I'm your National Anthem

Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes

I'm standing over your body, hold you like a python

You said to "be cool" but, I'm already coolest

Do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds?

Overdose and dyin' on our drugs and our love and our dreams

God can only, I need somebody to hold me

Boy you have landed in the land of sweetness and danger

dark paradise

All my friends tell me I should move on

I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song

Loving you forever, can't be wrong

Even though you're not here, won't move on

there's no remedy for memory your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head

Your soul is hunting me and telling me that everything is fine / But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes it's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

When you find true love it lives on

There's no you, except in my dreams tonight

There's no relief, I see you in my sleep

Everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me

radio

Not even they can stop me now

Their heavy words can't bring me down

Boy I've been raised from the dead

No one even knows how hard life was

I don't even think about it now because i've finally found you

Now my life is sweet like cinnamon / Like a fucking dream I'm living in

Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio

Pick me up and take me like a vitamin

'Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom

I heard the streets were paved with gold

How do you like me now?

carmen

It's alarming, honestly how charming she can be

You don't want to be like me, don't wanna see all the things I've seen

The boys, the girls, they all like [Carmen]

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes /She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond

Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean

It's alarming, truly, how disarming you can be

Relying on the kindness of strangers

Tyin' cherry knots, smilin', doin' party favors

Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on

million dollar man

You said I was the most exotic flower

Holding me tight in our final hour

I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable

Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you

I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go

How did you get that way, I don't know

You're screwed up and brilliant, and look like a million dollar man

So why is my heart broke?

You got the world but baby at what price

It isn't that hard [boy] to like you or love you

If you're going crazy just grab me and take me, i’d follow you down

summertime sadness

Dancin' in the dark in the pale moonlight

High heels off, I'm feelin' alive

Cruisin' down the coast, goin' about 99

Got my bad baby by my heavenly side

I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh my God, I feel it in the air

Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare

Honey I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere

Nothin' scares me anymore

Think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the mornin' sky

Kiss me hard before you go

I'm feelin' electric tonight

I got that summertime sadness

this is what makes us girls

Remember how we used to party up all night?

Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life

Drinking in the small town firelight

Teachers said we'd never make it out alive

She starts to cry, mascara running down her little Bambi eyes

We all look for heaven and we put love first

Don't cry about him

That's where the beginning of the end begun

Everybody knew that we had too much fun

We were skipping school and drinking on the job with the boss

Baby's table dancing at the local dive

Drinking cherry schnapps in the velvet night

Screaming, "Get us while we're hot, get us while we're hot"

A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens

Crying 'cause I know I'm never coming back

without you

Everything I want I have

I even think I found God in the flashbulbs of the pretty cameras

Hello, hello ca-can you hear me?

You're so good, your love is deadly

Tell me life is beautiful

They all think I have it all

I'm nothing, without you

All my dreams, and all the lights mean nothing without you

My life is sweet like vanilla is

Gold and silver line my heart

Can you picture it babe the life we could've lived?

Boy, you're so dope

We were two kids, just tryin' to get out

Live on the dark side of the American dream

We would dance all night, play our music loud

When we grew up, nothing was what it seemed

lolita

Would you be mine / Would you be my baby tonight

Could be kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine

'Cause I like you quite a lot, everything you got don't you know

It's you that I adore,[though] / I make the boys fall like dominoes

Kiss me in thedark tonight

I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play

Never was in love, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown

Topple you down from your sky forty stories high

Shining like a god, can't believe I got you inside

I want to have fun and be in love with you

I know that I'm a mess with my long hair and my suntan, short dress, bare

I don't care what they say about me, what they say about me

You make me happy

lucky ones

Let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire

Everyone around here wants to be going down

If you stick with me, I can take you higher, and higher

It feels like all of our friends are lost / Nobody's found, found, 

I got so scared, I thought no one could save me

Every now and then, the stars align / Boy and girl meet by the great design

Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?

Everybody told me love was blind / Then I saw your face and you blew my mind

Boy get into my car, got a bad desire

You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out now

You're a careless con and you're a crazy liar

But baby, nobody can compare to the way you get down

Tried so hard to act nice like a lady / You taught me that it was good to be crazy

Feels like Falling in love for the first time

SINGLES 

burning desire

Every Saturday night I get dressed up to ride for you, baby

I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits 'cause I just don't care

You ask me where I've been? I been everywhere

I don't wanna be no where but here

I've got a burning desire for you

Every Saturday night I seem to come alive for you

Your hands were on my hips, your name is on my lips

Over over again, like my only prayer

dont’ call me angel

Boy, don't call me angel, you ain't got me right

I appreciate the way you watch me, I can't lie

I fell from Heaven, now I'm living like a devil

You can't get me off your mind, I appreciate the way you want me

god save our young blood

Damn, look at the sunrise / Glowing finish line

Made it in record time, hey, baby, we made it

My head's faded, headlights dilated

Baptized in blue skies

Roll the window down, reach out, feel around for new life

Damn, you and those green eyes

We can never stop movin', we see nothin' but the green lights

God save our young blood

Climbed up the tree of life, kicked out of paradise

Living good, doing evil is the toss of the dice

She's an angel and a devil of her own device

Baby save me one last sip while you strip on the beach

I'll save you in the waves if you swim too deep

looking for america

Took a trip to San Francisco, didn't work, so I left for Fresno

Pulled over to watch the children in the park / We used to only worry about them after dark

No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide

It's just a dream I had in mind

That's another place and time

So many things that I think twice about before I do now

once upon a time

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream

I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam

I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem

But if I know you, I know what you'll do

You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

season of the witch

When I look out my window, many sights to see

So many different people to be

When I look over my shoulder what do you think I see? 

Oh no, must be the season of the witch

shades of cool

My baby lives in shades of blue / Blue eyes and jazz and attitude

When he calls, he calls for me, not for you

He lives for love / He loves his drugs, he loves his baby too

But I can't fix him, can't make him better

And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

You are unfixable, I can't break through your world

He prays for love, he prays for peace

Your heart is unbreakable

you must love me

This isn't where we intended to be

We had it all, you believed in me, I believed in you

Certainties disappear

What do we do for our dreams to survive? /How do we keep all our passions alive

Deep in my heart, I'm concealing things that I'm longing to say

Scared to confess, what I'm feeling frightened you'll slip away

How can I be, any use to you now?

Give me a chance, and I'll let you see how / Nothing has changed

young and beautiful

I've seen the world, done it all

Hot summer nights, mid July when you and I were forever wild

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? / Will you still love me when I've got nothing but my aching soul?

I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now

Hot summer days, rock and roll the way you play for me at your show

And all the ways, I got to know your pretty face and electric soul

Dear lord, when I get to heaven, please let me bring my man

All that grace, all that body, all that face, makes me wanna party

GENERAL SHIP (79)

i’m craving your kiss on my neck

because one kiss wasn’t enough

that moment was magic

i remember when i first saw you

cause you’ve got all my love

you’ll get the very best of me

now i’d be foolish to let you get away

lately you’re all i dream

baby i just want some time with you

say you adore me

let’s see you try to fill me

you’ll get the very best of me

keep it coming with the love i can’t resist

your lovin’ tripped me and i fell

i’ve had you on my mind

everyday i stumble getting caught up on you

i’ll let you fall in love with me

sweet kisses in the summer taste soft like honeydew

i’ve been writing you love letters one at a time

put my love on the line

tell me you love me

in that moment i loved you

you got my heart on a string

you got me under a spell

i’m just gonna love you like you love me

i don’t think my heart has ever been so true

i just can’t seem to shake wake break it or quit you

you asked me once and i said yes

believe me when i tell you that my love hasn’t changed

you’re on my mind all the time

it’s not the same when you’re away

what am i to do with all this love for you

told the whole world that you were all mine

i would grant all your wishes if you promised me a thousand kisses

give me all your secrets

fate chose me and you

i could call you my new religion

she stimulated every corner of my mind

you ransacked my peace of mind but i’d rob a bank a bank just to make you mine

all the guys love your pretty blue eyes but i wanna know why you’re crying

won’t you come in from the cold and be my city girl

i swear i’ve never seen such a pretty girl

i wonder what it feels like to kiss you under streetlights

i got your heart on my mind

common sense falls second place to the way it feels when you kiss my face

i would not change my stubborn heart

are you feeling what i’m feeling ‘cause it’s feeling really right

don’t wake me if dreaming i could stay here all night

no fortune teller; i guess we’ll leave this up to fate

i don’t want the you without the mine

when i jump i wanna do it so recklessly

cause when we touch baby no one can deny sparks fly

tell me i’m the one and i’ll turn off the sun cause you’re the only light i want

there’s a constellation in your eyes

the rest of the world is living in the dark when we light up the sky

when i rise you illuminate my sky

on paradise i overdose

this can only end one way

i’m the lock and you’re the key

you can have me any way you like

it makes me wanna be all yours

i feel my heart and we react like chemicals

we’re embedded in my mind

i see you watching me

it won’t be too long before me and you are doing what lovers do

let’s roll the dice and we’ll both make our moves

i never thought it would be this deep but then you kissed me

something happens to me when i feel your heartbeat

i live for these moments

the only thing i’m looking for is someone who understands

when will i learn it’s never just a goodnight kiss

you just have to say the word and i’m there

feelings like this they need a home

i’d love to think i’m yours and you’re mine

let our souls just collide and give in

we’ll build it up or break it down

puppet on a string; can’t control myself with you

i only know myself with you

take my pure and wash it all away til i’m cured

TOXIC RELATIONSHIP (38)

tw: mentions of cutting in this category

you’re making me promises that i can’t hold you to

because one kiss wasn’t enough

all the lies and the alibis and the hypnotizing

i’m through with all your games

i don’t think you’ve ever been good for me

we ain’t got no direction

don’t give up on me so soon

if i get too close you’re gonna pull me back in

but we both know it’s too late

don’t know why i’m always letting you in

you look like heaven oh but you put me through hell

we’re both playing the same game

i know that you’re no good for me

you were a match and i was gasoline

i don’t feel anything anymore

the scars will fade away and i may never be the same

i opened up; you snatched the key

you broke my window; shattered me

mama took one look at you and said run away

try to cut you out but still you’re stuck in my veins

poisoned by your love but i can’t get enough

bad judgement is what we’re made for

second guess these words of mine

thought i could fix you by myself

you make a boy like me feel used

you were my cure and i was your dark angel

you don’t love me like you should

it’s like a game to see how much i can take

light me up and let me burn

it’s like a drug; i can’t say no

this can only end one way

it’s too late; no one can save us now

we’re all emotional wrecks

i don’t wanna be saved

cheers to regrets; wash it down with some booze

when will i learn to turn my back and say goodbye

when will i start to see that you and me are only guaranteed to crash and burn

you know it turns me on to hate you

ONE SIDED RELATIONSHIP (36)

you’re making me promises that i can’t hold you to

and i suppose i could tell you how i feel

maybe you should know that i do have a crush on you

i remember when i first saw you

cause you’ve got all my love

you said you miss me more when i go

c’mon and waste my time

i wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off me

everyday i stumble getting caught up on you

i’ll let you fall in love with me

i’ve been writing you love letters one at a time

put my love on the line

gonna figure out how to make you mine

no matter how hard i try to fight it

don’t give up on me so soon

i would tell you that i love you even when it didn’t show

you wanna make a move

i guess so maybe we’re not meant to be

i’m hooked on you and i’m freaking out

you’re on my mind all the time

i could never love another like i loved you

guess i’m just young and foolish

i remembered texting you then had a drink; maybe a few too many

i’m lonely and she’s the only subject i could ever follow

ever since we crossed that line got your green eyes in the back of my mind

i can’t be just friends

i know what i said but these feelings they keep running the red

she won’t stick around for sure

i don’t mind wasting time; i’ll be fine

hide my heart; how i feel and pretend this is real for a while

i want to lay it on the line but all your calls decline

i wanna call out your name but i’m scared of what you’ll say

you don’t even gotta catch my fall

i will not forget all the wonderful things you’ve done

if i say too much it’s my consequence

i promise babe; you’ll be just fine

EXES (54)

cause you know love is just a hit and miss

i’m through with all your games

and this reminds me of last time

cause i fell hard but not hard enough

everyday i stumble getting caught up on you

no one else will do; baby i still want you

we ain’t got no direction

don’t give up on me so soon

our love fell out of winter

how did we get so far

i never thought you’d let me go

i was gonna marry you

if i get too close you’re gonna pull me back in

but we both know it’s too late

then all at once you changed your mind

don’t know why i’m always letting you in

you look like heaven oh but you put me through hell

i guess so maybe we’re not meant to be

i’ve never loved the way i loved you

you gave up on us

letting go has never felt so easy

you already got your second chance

you lost my interest

i don’t feel anything anymore

you said you would never let me go

i could never love another like i loved you

touch down on the red eye; i got red eyes too

no sleep when i think about you

if i stop forgetting it’ll hurt like hell

you ripped my heart with your sticky fingers

i gave you my heart and you gave me up free of charge

sometimes i still think about you

i don’t tell you all the things i used to

i spaced myself from you cause i got tired of hurting you and now i’m hurting too

but now that it’s over you know i’m feeling better

tell me you’ve never loved me

tell me it wasn’t real

pictures disappear and every memory will fade

since the last time we kissed i learned a thing or two

i’m still rocking your hoodie

i used to put my hands in your pockets

you’re someone i’ll never get over

can we go back to the way it was

this is the part where i smash your shit

you got my attention then you stomped it out

you’re there and then you’re gone

you’re a part of my past now

i’m making you history

if you’re wondering why i’m leaving; stop a second and count the reasons

you got my affection then you threw it out

all you’ve got is doubt

i sent you to the lost and found

you don’t get it; i’ve got my reasons

the one regret that i can see is how i let you get to me

CHEATING (22)

tell me; was she better

was she everything and more

i’m through with all your games

this love was meant for wandering eyes and faking

no matter how hard i try to fight it

if i get too close you’re gonna pull me back in

you gave up on us

you already got your second chance

if i stop forgetting it’ll hurt like hell

you’re on the lam and i’m lonely

if you wanted out you know you could’ve called me

tell me you’ve never loved me

this can only end one way

the world is ours at least it is tonight

let’s take this way too far

every night i’m undressing with him and i’m thinking of you

i know it’s the wrong thing to do but i kinda want to

say your name while our tongues are tied

don’t say it’s unholy if i let you come hold me

i know it’s wrong that i want to be here in your arms

i can taste temptation

cheers to regrets; wash it down with some booze

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (31)

i’m craving your kiss on my neck

because one kiss wasn’t enough

i think i kinda just want your kiss

cause you know love is just a hit and miss

that moment was magic

baby i just want some time with you

c’mon and waste my time

keep it coming with the love i can’t resist

you’re gonna bring this girl to her knees

we’re both playing the same game

you wanna make a move

baby just promise me you’ll keep me up all night

i’m hooked on you and i’m freaking out

i always thought that i’d be fine with you

you said that i could come by any time but i can’t fall in love tonight

i got your face in my mind and it was fun running around for a while

common sense falls second place to the way it feels when you kiss my face

she won’t stick around for sure

call it what you want but i need you tonight

call it a waste of time; call it right but don’t call it off

i pushed it all away cause i wanted to see you this way but still i wish you’d stay

i don’t know how long i can wait to call you over so we can waste the night away

tell me you’ve never loved me

cause you hold me like a woman

come with me don’t kill the vibe

where have you been all my night

getting you off is my new favorite hobby

lipstick on your neck brands like a tattoo

good moves and bad motives

come on let’s wake the neighbors

when did you get the nerve to call it love

SECRET RELATIONSHIP (8)

you’re making me promises that i can’t hold you to

you said you miss me more when I go

baby i just want some time with you

i’m so tired but don’t you dare quit

i would tell you that i love you even when it didn’t show

you wanna make a move

the world is ours at least it is tonight

don’t ever tell a soul cause they’ll say that we’re crazy

FRIENDS TO LOVERS (15)

and i suppose i could tell you how i feel

maybe you should know that i do have a crush on you

cause you’ve got all my love

you’ll get the very best of me

your lovin’ tripped me and i fell

everyday i stumble getting caught up on you

i’ll let you fall in love with me

i’ve been writing you love letters one at a time

gonna figure out how to make you mine

no matter how hard i try to fight it

take all the time you need

in that moment i loved you

you wanna make a move

i’m hooked on you and i’m freaking out

the lumineers

‘cause it takes a man to live but it takes a woman to make him compromise

you told me i was like the dead sea; you'll never sink when you are with me

i don't gamble but if i did i would bet on us

i belong with you; you belong with me; you're my sweetheart

she'll/he’ll/they’ll tear a hole in you; the one you can't repair

it's better to feel pain; than nothing at all

heaven help a fool who falls in love 

i don't own a single gun; but if i did you'd be the one

i don't know why i just can't let it go

memory's old but i just can't let it go

The idea's gone but ijust can't let it go

you can always find me where the skies are blue

and it's just a little white lie

nobody knows how to say goodbye

haim

if you say the word then i'll say goodbye

forever we tried to make it right

but together we saw the end in sight

i was too young to know you were the one to find

memories take me back to all of the wildest times

if i could change your mind

forgive my lying eyes

i know there's nothing good in goodbye

never thought that i would grow so old of seeing the gold

i would hold it up to my cold heart

you say you will; say you will save me

i will run away if you call my name

you came back into my arms like a heart attack

i couldn't let you in a gambler only playing to win

and i kept hoping that you would run first

i never wanna see you again with the beating of my heart witness

felt like i was walking on a tight rope / felt like we were walking on a tight rope

sometimes i wish i didn´t miss you at all

i’m moving on; 'cause those days are gone

honey; honey; i am never coming home again

honey; i’m not your honey pie

he's in her heart; on the floor

missing you never led to much of anything

going crazy trying hard to forget

'cause you took away all my young life

i hate who I've become from your heat now

i gave you everything i could give

you know I'm nothing without your love

gave you my love -you gave me nothing

you had me hanging on a dream you never believed

tom odell

if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight 

I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours

all my tears have been used up on another love

I'd convince my friends that you weren't right

I could promise you my heart don't cry

Love, I have wounds, only you can mend

I can't pretend

Grow old with me

Just you and i

our hands they might age and our bodies will change but we'll still be the same as we are

dotan

kings/queens of our own world

all this time you were next to me

the perfect lie which only you can see

crossed all seven different oceans for you

the brightest stars are falling down

tonight the land of the lost belongs to us

finding my way to you till you find me

i follow you into the dark to find you

heard your whispers in my heart

let me go for someone who wasn’t me

how did you place this behind the darkest stars

i’m walking like no direction to sense you

but i don’t trust the future without you

hozier

the giggle at the funeral

fresh poison

the only heaven i’ll be sent to is when i’m alone with you

worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

offer me that deathless death

my lover’s the sunlight

there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

toying somewhere between love and abuse

sweetened breath and a tongue so mean

it’s bloody and raw but i swear it is sweet

electing stranger perfections in any stranger i choose

i fall in love just a little bit every day with someone new 

the dark caress of someone else -i guess any thrill will do

to have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you

to be alone with you

honey we should run away someday

you don’t know what hell you put me through

the damaged love they/he/she makes

babe there’s something tragic about you

something so magic about you

babe there’s something so lonesome about you

something so wholesome about you

no tired sighs; no rolling eyes -no irony

no ‘who cares’ no vacant stares; no time for me

honey you’re familiar like my mirror years ago

i slithered here from eden just to wait outside your door

babe there’s something so wretched about this

something so precious about this

our veins are busy but my heart’s in atrophy

sedated; you and i nursing on a poison that never stung

free and young and we can feel none of it

lord we should quit but we love it too much

i’m so full of love i could barely eat

they’re/she’s/he’s as sweet as can be- already giving toothaches just by kissing me

with them/her/him heaven and hell were just words to me

honey just put your sweet lips on my lips

don’t let me in with no intention to keep me

i’m something else when i see you

you don’t understand; you should never know how easy you are to need

through the cold i’ll always find my way back to you

the broken love i make to them/her/him

walk our days on a wire

the way /they/he/she tells/shows me i'm theirs/his/hers and they’re/he/she is mine

it's a crime that they’re/he’s/she's not around most of the time

rare is this love; keep it covered

Birdy (2011)

watch her moving in elliptical patterns

what you say is way too complicated

twenty seconds ‘til the last call

I’ll be anything you ask and more

it’s not a miracle we needed

pour a little salt we were never here

staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

tell my love to wreck it all

cut out all the ropes and let me fall

I told you to be patient and I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced and I told you to be kind

in the morning I’ll be with you but it will be a different kind

I’ll be holding all the tickets and you’ll be holding all the fines

suckle on the hope of light brassieres

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts 

guess he kissed the girls and made them cry 

hard-faced queen of misadventure

God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken lives 

giving love but getting nothing back

if you're homesick give me your hand and I'll hold it

guess the loneliness came knocking

smeared black ink

your face is ashen and I'm barely listening

I am not permanent

we’re only young and naive still

the mood it changes like the wind

hard to control where it begins

can’t help myself but count the flaws

claw my way out through these walls

we lie beneath the stars at night; our hands gripping each other tight 

you keep my secrets hope to die; promises, swear them to the sky

let go before it’s too late

can you hear what I say?; I have never felt this way

can I make it better with the lights turned on?

I still want to drown whenever you leave

please teach me gently how to breathe

I'll cross oceans like never before so you can feel the way I feel it too

I've seen fire and I've seen rain 

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 

I always thought that I'd see you again

you've got to help me make a stand 

been walking my mind to an easy time

pack your bags and spread your wings

while you wave goodbye I’ll be getting closer

stand there and look into my eyes (and tell me that all we had were lies)

show me that you don’t care

you can tell the world that you’re tired

turn to my embrace; I won’t let you come to nothing

it’s a terrible love and I’m walking with spiders

I can’t fall asleep without a little help

it takes a while to settle down

it takes an ocean not to break

you make promises that you break

why don’t we share our solitude?

feels as if I’m sensing you through a lens

blunted and exhausted

sunlight comes creeping in and illuminates our skin

it’s hard luck when no one understands your love

Fire Within (2013)

we watch the day go by

under a trillion stars we danced on top of cars

lights go down in the moment we’re lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

if these wings could fly

my thoughts they slip away

we’ll remember tonight for the rest of our lives

I can be strong when I want to be

you think I’m weak ‘cause you can tear me apart

you think you’re in control

I want to be free

my heart is made from gold and forgiveness seems too bold

I still find it in my heart to say I love you

you don’t know how I fight for you

I just wanna do right by you

you’re my feet on the ground

I still carry your love

wherever we are I’m yours always

you light me up when all I see is darkness

if I fall apart you know where to find the pieces

you know where to find my pieces when they can’t be found

words with no meaning have kept me dreaming

all you never say is that you love me

all I’ll never know is if you want me

cut to my core but I’m not bleeding

the bigger you are the harder you fall

you have my heart but I lock it up

this burning flame has been burnt enough

blades don’t hurt when you have no fear

unlike most you don’t miss a thing

no one sees me; no one but you

I want to fly into your world

my wounded wings still beating

together we can make something beautiful

I was meant for you and you for me

maybe this daydream will turn into the real thing

we'll laugh when we worried about what we might be

I just hate to see you cry

sometimes I wish we could be strangers

you say that it’s all right and I know that it’s a lie

you don’t have to do this on your own

you don’t have to act like you’re alone

here I am still holding on while you’re finding ways to break our bond

you’re the one who’s saying goodbye

I have lost the words to piece us back together

I’m tired of sitting and waiting alone in the dark

pour oil on these flames; speed up my heart again

round we go in circles; does it have to be this hard?

we’ll find the strength this time

I can see straight into your soul

feeling oh so lost and out of control

I’ve tried to be fair and pretend that I care

purity lost in vain

I’m listening close to every word that you speak

counting down the days to be right beside you when you fall asleep

hold on before I’m gone

wise enough to be strong-minded

I don’t know where this is going

I can see by your smile that you’re glowing inside out

I don’t know where this is going; I’m just hoping

only seen in the eyes that know me

like a dream out of reach
