This time
I'll just say what I mean
I'll only tell the truth
And nothing in between
This time
No more gimmicks, no more tricks
I'll cut out all the lies
And hope it really sticks
This time will be different than before
This time

Try
02:55
|

|
Always letting me down
Running all around town
I know life is tough
But even so you haven't done enough
Why don't you try?
Why don't you try?
Why don't you try?
I don't think it would kill you.
Why don't you try?
It all was so much fun
I really thought I was the one
Suddenly you're never there
I'm starting to wonder why I care
Why don't you die?
Why don't you die?
Why don't you die?
Do us all a favor.
Why don't you die.

Special Boy

Oh! You're such a special, special boy!
Don't be coy!
That's our boy!
Everyone you know says, "There he goes!
Our impressive special boy!"
Every time he's walking down the street
All he meets
Say, "How sweet!
And how sincere!
Especially when you know that he's a special, special boy!"
If it can be done, he's done it first.
And if they've done it first they've done it worse.
Cuz he's the only one that is right.
What a frightful way to live your life
Maybe someday they will understand
Then again
How could they?
How could anyone
Ever know
Just how miserable he is?

Go to Hell

Well I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend
That you were doing well
That your heart was slowly healing
That your work life was just swell
I heard you're doing better
Every single day
And I just wanted to take a minute
To drop a line and say
Go to Hell
Yes I received your message
Yes I heard what you said
And yes I heard where you slept that night
When you weren't in our bed
And yes I know you're sorry
As sorry as you can be
And no I don't forgive you
If you don't like it, you see, you can
Go to Hell
They say everybody's hurting
But you look like you're doing pretty well
Oh, go to Hell
You got what you wanted
Life gave you all it had
And now that it's someone else's turn
You can't help but feel bad
You'll never really be sorry
But still I wish you well
I hope the road rises up to meet you
And takes you straight to Hell
Oh, go to Hell

Since I Met You
02:17
|

|
Restless nights are never-ending
Fears of nightmares coming true
Dreams are scattered at my doorway
Since I met you
Since I met you
My prayers have been answered
Since I met you
I'm in love for sure
Since I met you
I know what love feels like
And the knowing is worse than before
Pain is so close to pleasure
Better to love and lose than not at all
But what about when you finally have love
Knowing that all things must fall?
Since I met you
I can't live without you
Since I met you
My dreams have come true
Since I met you
I know what feels like like
And I know it's all mine to lose
Yes I know
It's all mine to lose

For You
02:23
|
|||
|
Birds fly in the sky and then they die
And everything you know might be a lie
What's the point of living?
Why do we go on?
I do it for you.
Everything you love is gone so fast
Enjoy the good times now, because they won't last
What's the point of trying
When everything will end?
I do it for you
I love you when the sun won't shine
I love you beyond space and time
I'll love you long after I'm gone
Your love for me knows no bounds
I love you beyond sight and sound
You're the source of everything I do.
Oh, I do it for you.

By Myself
03:42

Sitting on a cloud
All by myself
Endlessly waiting
High above the earth
All by myself
Think it might be raining
I just wanna live
For just one day
With nothing in between us
I just wanna live
For just one day
And really mean it
Sitting in my home
All by myself
My friends around me
Sitting on my phone
All by myself
Why are they always shouting?
I just wanna live
For just one day
With nothing in between us
I just wanna live
For just one day
I don't know know what else to say!

Can't you see?
I've waited for your love so patiently
For you to set me free
I've done all you said you wanted
I don't know how long I can go
Let me know
Maria
Can't you see?
It's only sorrow and such suffering
Please, let them free

All That We Are
05:09

I've got a picture on my shelf
I think it's you, but I'm not sure
It seems familiar but there's something missing
And the feeling is obscure
I've got a number in my phone
Thought it was you but I can't say
The words seem wrong and even sometimes cruel
And more distant every day
All that we are
Will fade away
Time captures all
Til none remain
Except for me
Except for you
Except for everything we are
And all we do
I've got a letter in my drawer
The writing's yours, so I've been told
I haven't read it but I will some day
When the feeling's gone cold
I've got a feeling in my soul
I think it's you--how can it be?
After so long, so many lives and years gone by
That you're still here with me??
All that we are
Will fade away
Time captures all
Til none remain
I feel you slipping
Out of frame
I will forget it
All one day
Except for me
Except for you
I wish I wish I wish
That it were true
In a dream once far away, we were together one day
I'd know that face anywhere--say you know me, too
I know you, you know me, nothing will ever come between!
In a dream once far away, we'll be together one day....
All that we are...will fade away

Afraid
04:41
|

|
I'm not afraid
To say what's true
Your eyes are open
I can see you
And if you hold on a moment more
I'm not afraid
Of what's in store
I'm not afraid
I'll fail the test
The fight is over
We did our best
And though all might be lost in the end
I'm not afraid
For what comes next
I'm not afraid
Let come what may
I'm not afraid
Of what I can't say
I know we'll never learn the reason why
I'm not afraid
Afraid to

Cowboy
Who put all those thoughts inside your head?
Cowboy
Who hurt you so bad?
I know
You don't belong on the range
And you know
You never did
It's ok to be a city boy
It's ok to want to play with toys
Cowboy, who put those thoughts inside your head?
If I knew
I'd shoot them dead
Cowboy
Can't you see the sun is going down?
And you're still a long, long way
From your home town
Wouldn't it be nice
To take a rest?
Just give yourself a break
You did your best
Just give yourself a break
You did your best.
