Self Inflicted
I don't mean to tear you apart,
but I hit a nerve.
Last night you weren't sleeping.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Another time I might have been more open
with the things that I was feeling,
But I was never one for sharing.
Taken out of context was the meaning
Of our whole relationship,
and now I must be leaving.
I don't mean to tear you apart,
but I hit a nerve.
Last night you weren't sleeping...
I didn't mean to hurt you.
The choices that I make
are mine to live with.
I didn't want to argue...
That's why I never told you.
That's why I never told you
What I was really up to
And now we haven't spoken
Since, you and I, we're broken.
So there you were...
You closed your eyes...
You had to know that I was lying.
I won't be back this time, please,
Try to understand...
I don't want to know what you were dreaming...
Don't want to know what you were seeing...
Cuz then I'll know what I've been missing.
That's why I never told you
What I was really up to.
And now we haven't spoken
Since, you and I, we're broken.
I don't mean to tear you apart,
but I hit a nerve.
Last night you weren't sleeping.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Crimson
This time I thought things might be different
But once again
You have me wishing that we'd never met
And I know knowing's never good enough
Enough to keep me from coming back for more
And then we fold our arms
And close our hearts
Before we have our chance
We always fall apart.
The situation's getting desperate
And once again
It's hard to keep my feelings separate
I know it's wrong but I can't help myself
You make it easy to come back for more
And then we fold our arms
And close our hearts
Before we have our chance
We always fall apart.
You think that we should reconsider this,
And be a little more compassionate?
So we don't always have to suffer this?
So we don't always leave here hating this?
And then we fold our arms
And close our hearts
Before we have our chance
We always fall apart.
Fall apart
To open up
The scars won't fade before the bruises
The scars won't fade until the bruises do
Why Hawaii
My throat's still burning from your last kiss
As your life pours from parted lips
It's the alcohol I miss
It hurts to move.
You can't conceal the truth.
Here's what we'll do,
With what is left of you.
I've silenced your screams
So you no longer appear in my dreams
I only wanted you to stop
I just don't care how far you drop
It's almost done
Your last drop's come and gone
But no, it's not enough
To chase the demons out
I've silenced your screams
So you no longer appear in my dreams
I only wanted you to stop
I just don't care how far we drop
Care... how far... we drop...
Something Perfect
Not found
The Tragedy Of Ed-209
Not found
Watch The Lights Go Out
Leave well enough alone,
Fill an empty room
With empty glasses.
The chances I've had I have blown
But there's something left.
Hiding deep inside
What i've always wanted.
How helpless I am I have shown
That I don't know what to do.
I wanted you.
So in other words
You're exactly what I've been looking for.
You were right,
When you told me I was wrong.
I guess it doesn't matter now.
Now desperate
All the comfort I have here is cold.
I feel like a mess and it shows
That I'm tired of wasting
What's been deep inside
But I've kept you waiting.
How helpless I am I have shown
That I don't know what to do
About wanting you.
So in other words,
You're exactly what I've been looking for.
It's all right.
Until all we have is gone,
Make every second count.
Stay and watch the lights go out.
One by one
Until all we have left
Is our own little world
So in other words,
You're exactly what I've been looking for.
It's all right.
Until all we have is gone,
Make every second count.
Stay and watch the lights go out.
All We Have Is Gone
I guess it doesn't matter
If I play along today
To see your face alone is worth it
When you finally learn
I know it won't be disappointing
When you realize the games
That you've been playing are all pointless
Since I broke the rules
Good try you almost had me wondering
If it was worth it
To see you begging on your knees
For what you wasted
In your eyes I see the question
Am I here to cause you pain?
I might have sunk down to your level once
But never now
I'm trying to be the better person
What I forgive I won't forget
And while you know I'll always listen
You'll never get another chance
Good try you almost had me wondering
If it was worth it
To see you begging on your knees
For what you wasted
Cuz in my eyes
You are nothing
Good try you almost had me wondering
If it was worth it
To see you begging on your knees
For what you wasted
That Was Then. This Is Now
So just in case my heart's not beating
It's 'cause I've forgotten how to feel
Remember that a promise is a promise
Is a waste of time
So give me one good reason
Why this time's so different
What are you hiding from me?
Tell me what it is that changed.
What I want you to be
I choose not to believe
Until I see it with my
Own two open eyes
You are the reason
I keep forgetting to let go
Of all the things that you chose
Not to remember
Don't tell me this was then
So just in case my lips are moving
And telling you what you want to hear
Remember that a promise is a promise
Is a waste of time
I've run out of excuses
And is there a point to this?
I can't keep explaining away
All these things I've done
But what I want you to be
Is a part of my future
I'm telling you this is the best I'll ever get
You are the reason
That I refuse to let this go
You are the only thing I
Want to remember
So what you're telling me
Is all the things you've whispered in my dreams
Can all come true
But tell me why don't I believe it?
Because I've known you for too long
To know that sorry isn't good enough for me
To let you get away with this one
And I thought this was it
I thought this was it.
Exhale
All in one day,
the choice to stay was mine.
to make this one mistake (now that),
everything,
with you and I,
has all led up
to this one moment.
This is not what I'd want
No.
No one can ask for this much.
Now... I... Come... Down...
Do what you want (say what you want)
Take what you want (never enough)
Can't be enough (don't give a fuck)
For this to stop
For this to stop
I'll never run hard enough
And always get caught in it
I go down.
Only to arise, I fall into your warm embrace.
If this is comfort then why has it been so hard for me to breathe?
Exhale (hyper-ventilate to communicate)
I could (never)
hold on to you (believe)
forever (a word i say)
Stay Awake
Not found
Bouquet
When we were young
We had hopes and plans and dreams
Like everyone
I'd like to think that we had fun
But there you were
Now everything that we have
Is just as good today as it was then
I know this started as a game
Like all the others that we used to play
Would i be wrong in any way
If i asked you just this once to stay
Stay with me please
But you wouldn't stay
And now i hold it in
And let it burn
Just as everything that i have left
Is stripped away from me by you again
I don't know why you turn away
Are you afraid to see what's written on my face
Almost begging you to say
That maybe you might feel the same
Did you forget my name
Did you forget my face
When you turned your back on me and walked away
As if i don't exist
As if i never were
As if it never happened
Does it matter anymore to you
That i might have emotion?
And did you ever stop to think
That your actions had consequences?
As i lie awake and think
Of what you've done
And what you've done to me
I wish that i had known there was an easy way out
Stay away
Stay awake
So you forget my name?
So you forget my face?
I've never been betrayed
Like this before!
