I sold my body to free my mind
Asking questions of you
I sold my body to free my mind
I asked an angel if I could fly
Give me wings and I will
I asked an angel if I could fly
How long must I wait?
How long can I care?
I sometimes wake up empty
And nothing goes my way
I'm holding onto something
It changes every day
Tell me where did all my feelings go?
Ow, yeah
Ow, yeah
They told me secrets I should know
Ignorant and if so
They told me secrets I should know
I drank the water of your soul
Thinking back I was yours
Drowned in the water of your soul
How long must I wait?
How long can I care?
I sometimes wake up empty
And nothing goes my way
I'm holding onto something
It changes everyday
Tell me where did all my feelings go?
(Ow) Sometimes wake up empty
(Yeah) And nothing goes my way
(Ow) I'm holding onto something
(Yeah) It changes everyday
(Ow) Tell me where did all my feelings go?

i dont want to do this anymore
i dont want to be the reason why
[center]" I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but who's gonna save me?
So, is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with.
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
Have another drink and drive yourself home.
I hope there's ice on all the roads.
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield.
And is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back.
So let's end this call, and end this conversation.
and is that what you call a getaway?
well tell me what you got away with.
cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say best friends means friends forever
I could make a dress,
a robe fit for a prince. I could clothe a continent,
but i can't sew a stitch.
I can paint my face,
and stand very very still.
It's not very practical,
but it still pays the bills.
I can't change my name,
but I could be your type.
I can dance and win at games
like Backgammon and Life.
I used to be the smart one,
sharp as a tack.
Funny 'bout how skipping years ahead
has held me back.
I used to be the bright one,
top in my class. Funny what they give you when you
just learn how to ask.
I can write a song,
but I can't sing in key.
I can play piano,
but I never learned to read.
I can't trap a mouse,
but I can pet a cat. No, I'm really serious!
I'm really very good at that.
I can't fix a car,
but I can fix a flat. I could fix a lot of things,
but I'd rather not get into that.
I used to be the bright one,
Smart as a whip.
Funny how you slip so far when
teachers don't keep track of it.
I used to be the tight one,
the perfect fit.
Funny how those compliments can
make you feel so full of it.
I can shuffle cut and deal,
but I can't draw a hand. I can't draw a lot of things,
I hope you understand.
I'm not exceptionally shy,
but I've never had a man
that I could look straight in the eye
and tell my secret plans.
I can take a vow,
and I can wear a ring,
and I can make you promises,
but they won't mean a thing.
Can't you just do it for me? I'll pay you well. ****, I'll pay you anything if you could end this.
Can't you just fix it for me? It's gone berserk...
Oh, ****! I'll give you anything if
you can make the damn thing work.
Can't you just fix it for me? I'll pay you well. Oh, ****! I'll pay you anything
if you could end this hell.
I love you will you tell me your name?
Hello, I'm good for nothing - will you love me just the same?
I feel it everyday it's all the same It brings me down but I'm the one to blame
I've tried everything to get away
So here I go again
Chasing you down again Why do I do this?
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you Over and over, over and over
I try not to
It feels like everyday stays the same
It's dragging me down and I can't pull away
So here I go again
Chasing you down again Why do I do this?
Over and over, over and over I fall for you Over and over, over and over
I try not to Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you Over and over, over and over
You don't even try
So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead
I know what's best for me
But I want you instead
I'll keep on wasting all my time
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you Over and over, over and over
I try not to Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you Over and over, over and over
You don't even try to

As strong as you were Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart But when it is quiet I know what it means I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
And they're all born pretty
in New York City tonight and someones little girl
was taken from the world tonight
under the Stars and Stripes
"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."

Someone tell me Why
Does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try the inhale that makes the exhale so much better
Wake me up before I change again
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Tell me why it's always the same
Explain me the reason why I'm so much in pain.
If I had a dollar bill for every time I’ve been wrong
I’d be a self-made millionaire and you’d still be gone
So hand me down my best dress shoes and my best dress shirt Cause I’m going out in style to cover the hurt All I wanna do all day is spend it in bed But that’s bad for the body and even worse for my head So I’ll try and find a place where no one will ask me a thing It’ll help me to forget and help me to sing
Cause now I’m drunk again The means to my end And I’m scared of myself Cause now it’s all the same the faces and names And I’m scared of myself again
Have you ever wanted to wake up from your dreaming Scared you so bad you couldn’t control your heart or your breathing
Well walk out the door with me on the floor
You don’t care how I’m feeling
I guess a weak and tired and frightened man is no longer appealing
Cause now I’m drunk again The means to my end And I’m scared of myself Cause now it’s all the same the faces and names And I’m scared of myself again

When the storm brings rain, snow, fate of all kinds
You can feel almost anything
When the day seems to melt, fall flat in the night
You can feel almost anything.
When you can't get up, you gotta get up and try
This is it, can you feel me?
When the bombs come down, you will make it alive
If you only, if you want to, believe.
Leave him numb. Leave him crushed.
All in all is all we are
He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence Presents her with the pictures and says
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you. These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
He opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying I'm still mourning Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
I'ts not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
So he went crazy at nineteen
Said he'd lost all his self esteem
And couldnt understand why he was crying...
He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts who once sat there
The ghosts that broke his heart. Oh the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
Oh the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
Its not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
He says I'm so lost
Not at all well
Do as done there is nothing left to be
Turned out Id been following him and he'd been following me Do as done after it was over We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
Its not
Like I believe in Everlasting love
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
Its not
Like I ever believed in
Everlasting love

Don't say we're healing when it's just not what we do.
