I've Got Me
02:16
|
|||
|
Chorus: I’ve Got Me, In the Morning!
I’ve Got Me, In The Evening!
I’ll Let You Be Because! I’ve Got Me
And all my faults and flaws and lies
Are no one’s fault but mine
Between self hatred and self awareness
Is a very small thin line
I can’t stop my worry, and my fury
For all that I’ve done wrong
I waste so much time I mean it
So much time
Chorus: Why is it so hard to be kind and gentle to myself?
Take the box of self deprecation
Lock it and put it on the shelf
Then wait 5 days, take that box
And throw it on the fire
Maybe someday. Oh yeah! One fine day

I Will Be With You
02:14
|
|||
|
Every night I cannot sleep
I lie awake and pray,
I will be with you,
I will be with you,
I will be with you someday.
When I drift into a dream,
You’re there each night and day,
I will be with you,
I will be with you,
I will be with you someday.
One day, you’ll see,
How your life was meant to share with me,
I will be with you,
I will be with you,
I will be with you someday.
I’m not one to play a game,
I am not too proud to pray,
I will be with you.
I will be with you,
I will be with you someday.
One day, you’ll see,
How your life was meant to share with me.
I will be with you,
We’ll start our lives new,
I will be with you someday.

People Are Toys To You
02:43
|
|||
|
I’m so glad I met you
You helped me see
Just how very much I hate me…
Now I know I’ve always been this way,
Made a list of all the things you used to say…
I know it was also my fault too…
I agreed to all you put me through.
When you’re in it, you can’t see what’s going on,
Now I see that everything was wrong.
People are toys to you.
You’ll play and play with one till you’re bored and through.
You may want it back when it’s gone and flew ‘cause,
People are toys to you.
Every day you’d change your mind about me
You blamed me for being unhappy.
At first you liked me some when I was shiny and new,
Like all the other ones you’ve done this to.
You said you stayed ‘cause you felt bad for me,
How sweet of you to call me charity.
And maybe part of me did agree,
I deserved all your pity.
People are toys to you.
You’ll play and play with one till you’re bored and through.
You may want it back when it’s gone and flew ‘cause,
People are toys to you.
People are toys to you.
You’ll play and play with one till you’re bored and through.
You may want it back when it’s gone and flew ‘cause,
People are toys to you.

Drifting On A Cloud
02:35
|
|||
|
I’m drifting on a cloud,
I’m drifting on a cloud,
I’m drifting on a cloud…
I can’t remember when
I was back here again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?
How long has it been,
Since my laughter was bright and I felt this light,
How long has it been?
I wished for this so long,
I don’t know what was wrong,
I just hope that it’s gone…
I’m living in a dream,
Nothing is how it seemed,
I’m screaming in a scream…
It has been so long
Since I smiled
For no good reason,
Like a child
And I’m crying from the feeling
And I’m flying past the ceiling in the sky,
I am drifting on a cloud.
My moods were up and down,
I was a crying clown
Laughing to hide my frown…
Now since I took this pill
I can’t even sit still
I’ll feel it right until…
I fall off my cloud again
Feel that heavy weight from back then…
And I almost lost my heart…
But I’ve found a brand new start,
Flying high, I am drifting on a cloud…
Flying high, I am drifting on a cloud…
Flying high, I am drifting on a cloud.

Mountains High
02:59
|
|||
|
I often wonder why these thoughts keep crossing my mind
They run in circles and alway keep me falling behind
But when I look back, look back on the years
I see all of the time that I wasted on tears
I once loved someone and now they don’t remember my name
I loved them badly although I know they didn’t feel the same
It’s not their fault, the fault was all mine
I’m trying to feel better, sometimes I feel fine
I can’t, I can’t be sure…
How much I can endure
Each day’s a mountain high,
A mountain high up in the sky
We all have secrets that we keep on hiding with lies
And we believe them, we believe our lies to my surprise
I’m trying hard not to lie anymore
I don’t wanna be the person I was before
All I can do is try
When climbing mountains high
All I can do is try, try not to cry
On mountains high
All I can do is try
When climbing mountains high
All I can do is try, try not to cry
On mountains high

I'll Make You Mine
03:08
|
|||
|
I’ll make you mine,
I’ll make you mine…
I’ll make you mine,
Though it will take time,
Time that I have lost…
I’ll make you mine…
I’ll make you mine.
You haunt me so,
I can’t let go…
If I can’t have you, then what will I do
For the memory of you clings to me.
I’ll make you mine…
I’ll make you mine.
Wake up, wake up, wake up
I’ve been dreaming forever of you.
Wake up, wake up, wake up
There is nothing else I can do.
I’ll make you mine.
Don’t tell me lies
I hate your eyes
When I look away, then you always say
How you need me, but I don’t see
I’ll make you mine…
I’ll make you mine.
Wake up, wake up, wake up
I’ve been dreaming forever of you
Wake up, wake up, wake up
There is nothing else I can do.
I’ll make you mine…
I’ll make you mine…
I’ll make you mine.

Stockholm Syndrome
02:29
|
|||
|
When you told me goodbye,
You did not even cry…
Did you know all along
That you would do me wrong…
Plagued by a suicide, you used whiskey to hide.
I asked you years ago, till you stopped saying no.
We’d get drunk every single night
Heading home stumbling arm in arm…
When you turned off the light there was a roach crawling on my arm.
I’d wake up, my throat dry,
Dust would dance into my eye…
With arms red as raw meat
From sleep scratching in the heat.
I begged you not to leave,
How will I ever believe
Anyone again, strangers, lovers, or friends…
Did you keep your room dirty so I’d feel like I had the flu.
Did you expect me to clean it like your mom must’ve done for you…
Doo-doo-doo, dah-dee-dum
Doo-doo-doo, stockholm syndrome.
Doo-doo-doo, la-la-la
Fi-fo-fum, stockholm syndrome!

Right Here
02:11
|
|||
|
I know that you’re gone away
But I will wait right here…
Yes I will wait right here…
I only hope you’ll come back someday…
Still in shock look at the clock
The hour’s almost near…
The hour’s almost near.
I know that you are getting ready.
I’m sure that you will soon forget me…
And in one day you’ll go away and I’ll lose you
You won’t lose me.
You will always have my heart
If I like it or not…
If I like it or not.
But knowing you, you’ve already forgot.
I’m tangled in your web and now I’m caught
I can’t escape, what will I do?
I won’t survive here without you.

The Love I Give
02:05
|
|||
|
I give all my love to you
It doesn’t matter who you are
It’s not anything new
Though I barely get none back
That does not erase the fact,
I will give and I will give my love to you.
I will give, I will give my love to you.
I give all my love to you,
Though my hearts been broke a thousand times in two
And yes that should make me stop,
But in fact it’s quite the opposite
I will give and I will give my love to you.
I will give, I will give my love to you.
And all the time
And the energy I could be saving
My crime, is love
And if I see
Your face before me in all my dreams
It’s fine… just fine.
Tell me how, can you hear me,
All the times that I helped you but you didn’t see,
That maybe I’m human too,
But what more can I do,
I will give and I will give my love to you.
I will give, I will give,
I will give, I will give,
I will give, I will give my love to you.

She Dreams
03:29
|
|||
|
She dreams of another,
Every time I call her name
Every time I call, but still I fall
In love, again.
Oh she dreams of another,
Every time she feels the same…
How can I get over the pain
I know I will not love again…
I will not love again…
I will not love again.
Her eyes pierce my heart with a sword
Her hair black as night
Her face sweet like the morning rain
Soft lips that kissed him goodnight
So she dreams of another,
But she says this isn’t so…
How can I believe as I watch her grieve
She’ll never let him go…
She’ll never let him go…
She’ll never let him go.

The Human Magnet Song
01:45
|
|||
|
I felt your magnet pull me
Near, as my whole body quaked with fear…
The minute I met you…
Your human magnet had a force
That I was blinded by of course…
Now I must forget you…
This moment of our lives
Will not happen again
I wish to be apart
From the moment we began
I know that we don’t get along,
But no strength is as strong…
As our magnets
Though I am tempted to break free
To be divided by a sea…
I know I can’t free me
This moment of our lives
Will not happen again
I wish to be apart
From the moment we began
La la la la…

The Song
04:40
|
|||
|
This is the song I will sing when I’m gone
From the pain that you put me through
It will help me out of this sad misery
It will ease my troubled mind.
I've been sleeping and hiding inside
I’ve been drinking and losing my pride
If I had any left to lose,
Then I wouldn’t be playing the blues.
I don’t need you, though you think that I do
Though someday we will be an old memory
Maybe one day when my pain goes away
I will get up and get out and get free.
I’ve been sleeping and hiding inside
I’ve been drinking and losing my pride
If I had any left to lose,
Then I wouldn’t be playing the blues.
If I had any left to lose,
Then I wouldn’t be playing the blues
Then I wouldn’t be playing the blues
If I had any left
To lose.
