Should Have Stayed

You just don't understand
How painful it can be
You just don't understand
The things you cannot see
You never seemed to care
Or seemed to wonder why
You never seemed to care
The reasons why we live or die
So now you laid
In the bed you made
You went astray
But you should have stayed
You just don't comprehend
Why you need to change
You just don't comprehend
Why you act so strange
Sometimes you act so crazy
When you sit and cry
Those times when you just do it
I cannot help but wonder why
You're always so demanding
You always want it your way
You'll never understand
Why nobody wants to stay
Get ready for lots of heartache
Get ready to not know why
If you don't want some happiness
Then you'll just get a quick goodbye

Don't Wanna Hear It

You've thrown me, thrown me to the wolves
You're lying on the road that you chose
Your stupid fucking friends
go clubbing every night
You think it's lots of fun
You think that it's alright
You're laughing when you're high
You're spilling all your drink
You're always try to be
What everyone should think
Your sister is rich
Your other one is poor
You think they've got it made
and I don't wannna hear no more
Your sister is a bitch
Your other one is a whore
You think they've got it right
and I don't wannna hear no more
(don't wanna hear it)
You can't sleep, you can't sleep at night
Your parents, they scream and they fight
They tell you how its done
But hate each others guts
But I'm the one who's dumb
Yeah I'm the one who's nuts
Your family goes to church
You always tag along
Then you have the nerve
To tell me that I'm wrong
You've thrown me, thrown me to the wolves
You're crying on the road that you chose
You really want to think
That I'm no good for you
You really want to try
To find somebody new
The grass just wasn't greener
On the other side
And all your hopes and dreams
Have curled right up and died

Gold and Blue
04:03
|

It seemed so unlikely just to happen by chance
You found me through channels by a distant glance
The silent mind can be so obscene
So limited in years, but you felt it was right
To cause me to drown in you oceanic sight
Expressive hands can paint a lovely scene
It's a crazy feeling just to think about you
I want to wander through your golden blue
The shivering hills show up when I touch
Your suffering skin doesn't show that much
I've stolen time that I just want to spend
I've seen you below, and I put you above
I had to show you the greatest ways to love
Who knew I'd find you so lovely in the end
Your golden voice makes the owls cry and weep
The moving rhymes go through my ears so deep
It makes me heal and it soothes all the pain
The flavor of red and the flavor of white
Will bring us joy for the rest of the night
Making love to the sound of the rain

Broken Roads

Sometimes some things just never work out
Sometimes you wonder what it's all about
Sometimes all those memories of old
Come back and leave you cold
It's funny how the memory corrodes
Back down around the broken roads
Oh Lord why did you treat me so bad
Oh Lord why did you make me so mad
Oh Lord why couldn't you see
That you weren't there for me
Too bad I felt nothing for you
Too bad you couldn't ever be true
Too bad I couldn't take anymore
Of that emotional war
Right now I'm gonna leave it behind
Right now it starts to fade from my mind
Right now I'm gonna put this away
My new path starts today

So Selfish

You'll do what makes you happy
I'll do what makes me sad
You'll make all your friends happy
You've gone and made me sad
You'll tend to others' feelings
You never think of mine
You'll tend to your own feelings
Because you've ignored mine
You're so selfish
You always get what you like
Nothing good for me
You'll go enjoy what you like
There's fuck all just for me

Two Broken Souls

Lonely lonely lonely
that's how it's gonna be
until you heard me say it
and you came to me
Lonely lonely lonely
that's not what you will be
I just want you here
To comfort me
You know it may be right
I know it may be wrong
It could just be short
and then we say so long
We're just stuck together
For a holiday
You'll enjoy the company
And here I will stay
Just two broken souls
Together for a while
You can keep me here with you
I can make you smile
we're just two broken souls
with no place else to go
All we got's each other
And that's all we know
You can make the dinner
I can make you smile
You can share you wine with me
And keep me for a while
Make me feel so happy
Make you feel so great
I'll watch you fall asleep
If we stay up late
Cover up the bitter
With everything that's sweet
Everything about this
has all been such a treat
We're no longer lonely
Invited me to stay
We're no longer lonely
And I won't go away

Silent Obsession
07:01

Night in the snow filled city
The lights shine down and make it look pretty
I feel lonely and cold
Wanting you here to touch and to hold
The distance between us not far
But I can't help but wonder how you are
I have myself to blame
But I have to wonder, do you feel the same
Why can't you realize
I can't just fantasize
Should I apologize
are you hearing my cries
I want you to hold me
The night is too lonely
I don't understand, why you can't be here
My silent obsession
My secret confession
I just want it all to become clear
I see you, you try to keep warm
While walking through the winter storm
The fire and the warmth of it's heat
Will warm you up, after we meet
Your perfume sweetens the air
Everytime I stroke your long hair
The vision I have is so clear
But it's clouded over by all my fear
Time is wasting away
I couldn't get out what I wanted to say
Wanting to reach out to you
Wishing that my thoughts were all true
Now I must close up the night
Tomorrow I hope to make it alright
So goodnight, and sleep well my dear
I hope this distance will disappear

Unwanted

A darkened place
Where you now lay
How you got there
You cannot say
Your mind is full
Your skin is bare
Your face is wet
But you don't care
You've broken down
You cry in bed
Too many thought
Go through your head
You cover up
Your naked heart
You hate when it
Gets ripped apart
The gift you bought
Shall be returned
You feel the pain
Of being burned
It's not your fault
You tried your best
You got used up
It's time to rest

You Can't

I said no
You can't have that
I said no, no no no
You can't have that
Oh no
You don't want that
Oh no
You don't want that
And it hurts
Oh no
You can't change that
No no no
You can't change that
And you lied
Yes you did
And you lie, lie lie lie lied lied lied lied
And it hurts
