Bleeding in to the ground
Beneath us
I deemed it all
Askew
With age I grew softer,
To the world I will offer
My heart in my hands
My peace of mind
Is broken again.
Standard procedure responsive
Showered with kind words
Are we sincere
Or sincerely machine?
With age I grew softer
To the world I will offer
My heart in my hands
My piece of mind
Is broken again.
Did you ever really
Did you ever really
Did you ever really
Think that you could stop me?
Did you ever really
Did you ever really
Did you ever really
Think that you could stop me?
My dear, I know that you can’t hear me
But I’ve a couple things to say
Oh, of the way we went about this
And why I couldn’t bear to stay
Oh, I know you wouldn’t say it
But let’s face the real facts
What we had, oh
For all these years
It ain’t ever coming back
It ain’t ever coming back
Oh nooo
IT AIN’T EVER COMING BACK

This is how the feeling starts
My thoughts unthread and come apart
Your eyes hurled a drugged dart
Straight into my fevered heart.
Remember when you bit my lip?
All it took was just one nip
A single drop of blood to drip
And suddenly, your clothes were ripped
And on the floor beside my bed
Nails scratched into your head
Begging for our legs to wed
To make two into one instead
Yes, you remember it too
All the things we used to do
Every horrible way we screwed
And the nights, short and wrong
Every fragile pretense withdrawn
And the nights, short and wrong
Every fragile pretense withdrawn
Pretense withdrawn, pretense withdrawn, pretense withdrawn

Jayne had her kids when she was 23
Married to him but deep down obsessed with me
I don’t wanna hear no cries from your man
Cause I can’t be expected to stay
When there’s a million women waiting far away
What is this I’m feeling?
I wonder if you see me?
I’ll rise to the occasion
(She lost her mind)
I won’t question what I’m given
(She lost her mind)
She always loved a drink or two
Nobody told her to stop before her addiction grew
And soon and soon and soon and soon and soon
She lost her mind
Oh, she lost her mind
Jayne lost her mind
The pistol in her hand told her she was running out of time
What is this I’m feeling?
I wonder if you see me?
I’ll rise to the occasion
(She lost her mind)
I won’t question what I’m given
(She lost her mind)
What is this I’m feeling?
I wonder if you see me?
I’ll rise to the occasion
(She lost her mind)
I won’t question what I’m given
(She lost her mind)
Oh she lost her mind
She lost her mind

Mistakes

As I drive down every single morning,
I pass all of the houses
Full of laughter,
I see both you and me
And the life that I could’ve had.
You should know deep down
That I didn’t want to go
But the timing was always
So wrong.
Now, I’ll make my own mistakes.
A fool I’ve been,
I’d known the stakes.
Bittersweet, I fall asleep,
I fall asleep.
But I know the truth inside
Won’t change what I did,
Or should’ve done.
I could tell you that I believe it,
How it reaches inside your mind
I could pretend that I didn’t know you
Baby, that’s not a compromise.
What is this I’m feeling?
I wonder if you see me
Rise to the occasion,
I won’t question what I’m given
I won’t question it all,
But I won’t it at all.
Still I wonder if you see me (I wonder if you see this?)
Floating high above you? (I wish that I could tell you)
I don’t feel like I’m gone
I won’t question what I’m given
I won’t question it all,
I won’t question it at all.

Sometimes

Go, go now
Before I change my mind
Before it’s too late.
Stay, stay here
Until I change my mind
Until I feel safe.
I know sometimes
I lose myself within you.
Sometimes, I remember places
And all of the faces in my dreams.
Sometimes, I remember you when
You were such a child when we first met.
Did you give it all away?
Did you give it all away?
Somewhere, in the midst of all
We’ve strewn out on the floor
There lies the truth.
Somewhere, in the midst of all (Go, go now before I change my mind)
These broken bits of glass (Before it’s too late)
There lie our hearts. (Until I feel safe)
Did you give it all away?
Did you give it all away?
Did you give it all, give it all
Give it all away now? (Did you give it all, give it all, give it all away now?)
Did you give it, give it,
Give it away now? (Did you give it all, give it all, give it all away now?)
Yes, I gave it all, gave it all
Gave it all away now. (Did you give it all, give it all, give it all away now?)
Did you give it all, give it all
Give it away now?
Sometimes, I remember places
And all of the faces in my dreams. (Did you give it all away now?)
Sometimes, I remember you when
You were such a child when we first met.
Sometimes, I remember
Places, faces.
Give it all away, give it all away now (Give it all away, give it all away)
Give it all away. (Give it all away)
Give it all away, give it all away now (Give it all away, give it all away)
Give it all away. (Give it all away)
(Give it all away)
Go, go now
Before I change my mind
Before it’s too late
