hurt me badly
listen

i entertain all the pain
saw the hope wash down the drain - it's nothing
it's not the flame that burns insane
i slipped up, messed up when you i blamed
don't sign for sorrow, i'll keep the heart i borrowed
from somebody else

hurt me badly
i don't feel it anymore
sell me cheaply 
just like everyone before

i don't remiss the things unfixed
i sank to deep and left, unmixed
it's not the song you used to sing
it's simply unfelt trite you bring
don't fight tomorrow 
it'll crush the heart that's hollow
despite how we felt

hurt me badly
i don't feel it anymore
sell me cheaply 
just like everyone before

hurt me badly
i don't feel it anymore
sell me cheaply 
just like everyone before

miss you like crazy
listen

i heard you on the radio 
i don't know what to say to you

so i thought i'd come up to the bedroom
but i tripped on your straw broom
failed to circumvent the event that made it so
stayed up for the video
the one on our favorite show
dropped your hands as the lights went down
and the air left my lips without a sound

i miss you like crazy
don't want to be alone anymore
don't want to be alone

i thought of nothing else but you
and it looks like he did too
saw the trap of the cult of that 
that makes me do what i don't want to
and now it's up to you
whatever you want to do 
saw you hands pretend to despair 
and your mouth looked like it cared for something new

i miss you like crazy
don't want to be alone anymore
don't want to be alone

make up your mind
make up your mind
now it's up to you

i miss you like crazy
don't want to be alone anymore
don't want to be alone

--------
lay down your head
listen

lay down your head
it's not as bad as it seems to be
come to my bed
hand over all of your grief to me
and scream so sweetly as you're losing all your ground
and fall so neatly as it all comes crashing down

feel it wash away
save it for another day
don't just let yourself fall
feel it wash away
don't give in 'til one more day
nobody can tell you what's wrong

now hold your breath
whisper your secret dreams to me
clutch it to your chest
forget your fears and just let it be
and fight so fiercely as you find your piece of mind
and come so quickly as you leave it all behind

feel it wash away
save it for another day
don't just let yourself fall
feel it wash away
don't give in 'til one more day
nobody can tell you what's wrong

feel it wash away
save it for another day
don't just let yourself fall
feel it wash away
don't give in 'til one more day
nobody can tell you what's wrong

hold on
listen

hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine

i seem torn along the path
to decide for the better or blow like a draft
slightly twisted as you listed all my faults
trapped in the vaults of the hard stone 
of your heart felt sympathy that you lent to me
slowly revisited with unlimited sanity 
feelings of an overblown scheme

hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine

with you, i flourished
love being malnourished 
under the cover of a lovers flame
slipped down like the winded needy
forced down like the money greedy
slowly, fundamentally,
followed the epitome of your wasted way
silently, violently, stroked as the bellows blew up
the heat of the extreme shame

hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine

don't forget that you're mine

hold on forever, or at least today
don't follow me, i'm blind
now you're forsaken, thought you'd never be
don't forget that you're mine

14 miles
listen

fourteen miles 'til i break you down 
time to realize i can make you frown
my soul is free so step up on it
to see past the faded sign

can't stop the tide, it flows
(can't stop the pain inside, 
can't stop to make it hide, 
can't stop to open wide, never mind)
can't stop the pain inside

up to now it's been irrelevant
brought back to life through your dreamt up event
with your sad eyes, you sent me on my way
dreamt as you lied that it's ok

can't stop the tide, it flows
(can't stop the pain inside, 
can't stop to make it hide, 
can't stop to open wide, never mind)
can't stop the pain inside

fourteen miles 'til i break you down 
time to realize i can make you frown
my soul is free so step up on it
to see past the faded sign

can't stop the tide, it flows
(can't stop the pain inside, 
can't stop to make it hide, 
can't stop to open wide, never mind)
can't stop the pain inside

don't care anymore
listen

fed up to a degree - one more than i thought i'd be
can't swallow anymore, left alone with all my greed
complexity shouldn't be any more hard than you and me
silence followed all my dreams

you don't care anymore
you don't care anymore
i saw your sad eyes say it as you walked out the door
you don't care anymore
you don't care anymore
i heard your bad lies spreading, i don't want any more

crept up on bended knee, scuffed up what i thought i'd need
not so innocent, we all know what you mean
honesty shouldn't be so far for you to see
folly followed my scheme

you don't care anymore
you don't care anymore
i saw your sad eyes say it as you walked out the door
you don't care anymore
you don't care anymore
i heard your bad lies spreading, i don't want any more

one time was fine, stop to rewind
incredulous to enlist the sympathy of my friends
to defend all your unkind thoughts
voracious, flirtatious, empty box of a heart-felt tragedy
enmity can't you see, for all the empty serenity that surrounded me
one time it was fine, one time you were mine

you don't care anymore
you don't care anymore
i saw your sad eyes say it as you walked out the door
you don't care anymore
you don't care anymore
i heard your bad lies spreading, i don't want any more

sweet castaway
listen

sweet, sweet castaway
don't need the love but you can't stay away
so, so lonely 
can you forget it or are you just like me

never meant that much to me
lost in a world that only i knew
said you'd like to set me free
but i never really wanted to be
never meant that much to me
still i only ever think about you
said you'd like to set me free
right now you're all i really need

i'm sorry if i don't care
i'm sorry for what you think
i'm sorry for feeling good
i'm sorry for you

i said it, i said it, i meant it, i meant it
i feel like i gave you time to vent it
i couldn't prevent it, you just sat 
as she stole your thoughts away
i want a beginning with no certain feeling 
centered on another time with no one interfering
i miss it, i need it, i feel it fade away

i'm sorry if i don't care
i'm sorry for what you think
i'm sorry for feeling good
i'm sorry for you

never meant that much to me
lost in a world that only i knew
said you'd like to set me free
but i never really wanted to be
never meant that much to me
still i only ever think about you
said you'd like to set me free
right now you're all i really need

i'm sorry if i don't care
i'm sorry for what you think
i'm sorry for feeling good
i'm sorry for you

can't lift my feet from the ground lately 
can't feel nothing but the sound 
don't stop moving around, face me 
please, please keep me around

--------
let me be free
listen

tick-tock, i saw the clock
but you felt so good that i couldn't stop
and all along i thought it was wrong 
'til you sang a new song and you came along
with those eyes you could hypnotize
i reached for you but was paralyzed
i thought i sank down deep enough 
but i couldn't quite love you off the cuff

so i thought i'd stop to talk the talk or 
walk the walk to find a way to stick around
all a sudden you had your grasp
i lost my breath and hit the ground
pound round for round, i tried to stand
felt your breath and touched your hand 
man, i reminisce the kiss i miss
don't know if i can handle this

let me be free

it used to be i'd walk a mile 
to taste your laugh and see you smile
now all that's left is circumstance 
with cheap perfume and cheap romance
still i knew that i would feel 
all wrapped up tight in your little pill
chewed up, spat out, walked upon
tried to drink the cup but your grace was gone

ten past ten i tried again
to unlock the door and let you in
when like a draft you crept within
blew up, blown up, like the wind chill 
factor, faster than i could
if i knew you weren't gonna love me then i 
never would have gone inside your heart 
where lies abide, and tried to stay alive

let me be free

woke up at the break of dawn
you locked me in and you were gone
woke up at the break of dawn
i should've seen it coming, all along

let me be free

--------
so easy
listen

many times i forgot, I'd simply wait for my lot
angelic i thought you to be so much for what you think of me
smile as you really frown, then grin as you look around
flip-flopped it all upside down 
you may not be lost but i'm still not found

it's so easy to forget what we had 
it's so easy but so sad, sad
it's so easy to wave goodbye
so easy but don't cry

it's not as simple as i thought
time for me to pay what i brought
never really could make it last
you looked better as we passed
lie as you swear the truth 
and laugh as you try to prove
can't stop your hypocrisy
you may be blind but i still can't see

it's so easy to forget what we had 
it's so easy but so sad, sad
it's so easy to wave goodbye
so easy but don't cry

feel the time slip away 
don't have another day

i'm tired of the battles fought
stepped down from ideas i thought
never wanted another enemy
you're a jacked up fantasy
spin as you're standing still
then fall to the ground astounded
tip-toed all around your speech
you still might fall but i still won't reach.

it's so easy to forget what we had 
it's so easy but so sad, sad
it's so easy to wave goodbye
so easy but don't cry

--------
way down
listen

stop me on the way down 
stop me on the way down

can't stand my ground with you
reach up or drown for you
would have liked to known what to do 
feel like i've blown it with you

stop me on the way down 
stop me on the way down

can't stop to lie for you 
won't stand this strife from you
could have loved the things that i do
can't spend my time waiting for you

stop me on the way down 
stop me on the way down

back up give up or funk the fight
lock the door give up and hit the lights

stop me on the way down 
stop me on the way down

--------
stand up
listen

i need a sedative
but i don't need what you give
i don't see how you're so divine
i don't see how you live
reform you sanity before you come to me
or i'll just say goodbye
there is no guarantee of what you mean to me 
stop, stop asking me why

stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound

it's all so relative
but it's all that i can give
i don't seem to ever mind but it comes time after time
so long to sanity, ever since you came to me
but you always come to mind
if we will ever be what we used to be
you'll have to take what you find

stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound

better believe what you see
i gave you ground on me
better that you try to prove
you only get what you give

stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
stand up with it to throw it down
stand up willing for the sake of sound
