QUIT YOUR LIFE

I’ve been everywhere around the world and finally here tonight
You seem to be the only one to make me feel alright
I feel good when I know you’re coming down
I feel good when I know you’ll be around
So quit your life and stay with me
We’ll order in and watch TV
We’ll paint the house and wash the car
We’ll take a walk but not too far
So quit your life and stay with me
New York to Los Angeles and all the towns between
After miles and hours on the road, you’re the best I’ve seen
I feel good, you’re the best friend that I’ve found
I feel good when I’m coming back to your town
I heard the road, it was calling my name
I walked towards the light and I ran towards the flame
I ran towards the flame
After all is said and done, I don’t mind saying again
I say it’s true that I’m in love with the places that I’ve been
So quit your life and stay with me
Stay with me

WRITE YOU A SONG

I will write you a song
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you
I don't know that I'd make a good soldier
I don't believe in being violent and cruel
I don't know how to fight, but I'll draw blood tonight if somebody tries hurting you
Now that it's out on the table (it's out on the table)
Both of us knew all along (knew all along)
I've got your loving and you've got my song
I can't say where we'll go, but the one thing I know
Is how to be a good man to you
Until I die that's what I'll do

TAKE ME AWAY

I know we just got here
but I think it's time to go
I didn't want to believe it but now I know
you know who just walked in
and he didn't come alone
I can't stand to see this get me home
Take me away
I'm gonna hurt somebody
take me away right now
how could he say
he wanted more you better
take me away right now
I thought he was perfect he thought I was perfect too perfect until he found someone new
now I'm stuck here watching him
I can't take this abuse
what does this girl do that I can't do?

a lonely september

I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes to leave the rest of the world behind
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did
I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you will just kill me if I'm on my own
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back
I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight
I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did
And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
BUT YOU DID

my heroine

the drugs began to peak
a smile of joy arrives in me
but sedation changes to panic and nausea
and breath starts to shorten
and heartbeats pound softer.
You wont try to save me You just want to hurt me and leave me desperate.
You taught my heart A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You're my heroine.
You won't leave me alone
Chisel my heart out of stone
I give in everytime.
I bet you laugh
At the thought of me thinking for myself (myself)
I bet you believe (bet you believe)
That I'm better off with you than someone else
Your face arrives again
All hope I had becomes surreal
But under your cover's
More torture than pleasure
And just past your lips
There's more anger than laughter
Not now or forever will I ever change you
I know that to go on I'll break you, my habit
You taught my heart A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You're my heroine

I will save myself.

POV

I'm Getting tired of asking,
This is the final time,
So did I make you happy?
Because you cried an ocean,
But there's a thousand lines,
About the way you smile,
Written in my mind,
But every single word's a lie.
I never wanted everything to end this way,
But you can take the bluest sky and turn it grey.
I swore to you that I would do my best to change,
But you said it don't matter,
I'm looking at you from another point of view,
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you,
I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do.
Is this a sign from Heaven,
Showing me the light?
Was this supposed to happen?
I'm better off without you,
So you can leave tonight,
And don't you dare come back and try to make things right,
'Cause I'll be ready for a fight, yeah.
I never wanted everything to end this way,
But you can take the bluest sky and turn it grey.
I swore to you that I would do my best to change,
But you said it don't matter,
I'm looking at you from another point of view,
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you, I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do.

HYPNOTIZED

I feel like I've been here once before
Threw my bags through the door and in the road
I came home to find them on the floor
And as the rain began to pour I got cold
And I tried to compromise But you kept telling me all these lies
Now i don't get to say my last goodbyes
Goodbye to you've been wasting all my time
You're no longer mine now you've left me
I can't seem to get you off my mind
That's when i realised you had me hypnotized
Why am I now living on my own?
She keeps inviting people home all the time
Why am I still paying for her phone?
When all the luxuries she owns should be mine!
Now I start to wonder why
You shrug me off when i say hi
You treat me so bad Despite how hard I try!
Goodbye to you've been wasting all my time
You're no longer mine now you've left me
I can't seem to get you off my mind
That's when i realised you had me hypnotized
Boy you can't hold me back no more
You're not even worth me writing

lyrics for
We had something good together
Did you think you were being clever
To throw me out in awful weather

How do I forget you now?
I can't get you off my mind
That's when i realised you had me hypnotized!
Goodbye to you've been wasting all my time
You're no longer mine now you've left me
I can't seem to get you off my mind
That's when i realised you had me HYPNOTIZED.
