Never Been in Love

I've been a lot of things
But I've never been in love
I've been a lot of places
But I've never been that sure of myself
I've met a lot of people
But when push comes to shove
Can you believe?
Silly me
I've never been in love
It's not you, it's me
It don't come naturally
Let me be
I've never been in love
Don't go holding my hand
Take me as I am
You gotta understand
I've never been in love
Boy, hold the flowers and candy
But rest assured
Your efforts don't go unnoticed
But I need more
I don't need no shiny ring
Don't need no fancy car
Just need some time
To make up my mind
I've still never been in love
It's not you, it's me
It don't come naturally
Let me be
I've never been in love
Don't go holding my hand
Take me as I am
You gotta understand
I've never been in love
Oh, oh, oh,
It's not you, it's me
It don't come naturally
But don't let me be
Maybe I'm in love
I'll let you hold my hand
But you gotta take me as I am
I think I understand that maybe I'm in love
Maybe I'm in love

Lie to Me

Lie to me
Don't tell me it's over
Lie to me
There are worse things you could do
There are worse things you have done
Lie to me
Tell me you love me
Lie down beside me
There are worse things you could do
There are worse things you have done
Oh, to return to those glorious days
When the sun and the sky had meaning
When I didn't have cry all evening over you
I'm not over you
That's why I need you to lie to me
Lie to me
Don't tell me her name
Lie about where you spend your nights
There are worse things you could do
There are worse things you have done
Still I dream 'bout those glorious days
When the sun and the sky had meaning
When I didn't have cry all evening over you
I'm not over you
That's why I need you to lie to me

Jamie
Why you gotta bring me down?
You got me feeling so blue
Why can't you relax?
Jamie
Why you gotta wear that frown?
Don't you know?
All it does is rain down on your smile
Happiness looks better on you
Trust me when I say you'll be ok
Hey! Jamie!
When you laugh the world gets brighter
Wish I could make your shoulders lighter
Hey! Jamie!
Jamie
You don't gotta be afraid
Things might not go your way
But that's today, not tomorrow
Jamie
You don't gotta run away
Your past is gone
You're in the here and now
Happiness looks better on you
Trust me when I say you'll be ok
Hey! Jamie!
When you laugh the world gets brighter
Wish I could make your shoulders lighter
Hey! Jamie!
Jamie don't you look back
On the things that you’re owed
You don't even know what you're looking for
Jamie don't you fall back
On your hopes and your dreams
I promise that you're always gonna get what you need
Hey! Jamie!
Happiness looks better on you
Trust me when I say you'll be ok
Hey! Jamie!
When you laugh the world gets brighter
Wish I could make your shoulders lighter
Hey! Jamie!
Happiness looks better on you
Trust me when I say you'll be ok
Hey! Jamie!
When you laugh the world gets brighter
Wish I could make your shoulders lighter
Hey! Jamie!

Gone

Gone to the river
Can't seem to get clean
Gone to the river
In search of Godly things
Gone to the ocean
But the salt stings
Gone to the ocean
Oh we are a messy bunch
Bleeding from our hearts
From our souls
We can't seem to let go
Of our messy hands
Of our lack of self control
Gone to the mountains
In search of silver and gold
Gone to the mountains
Before we get too old
Gone to the graveyard
Goes our humanity
Gone to the graveyard
Oh we are a messy bunch
Bleeding from our hearts
From our souls
We can't seem to let go
Of our messy hands
Of our lack of self control
Gone are the flowers
The signs of spring
Gone are the flowers
We are a messy bunch
Bleeding from our hearts
From our souls
We can't seem to let go
Of our messy hands
Of our lack of self control

Used to Love Me
04:41
|

I remember the day
The hour
The minute
You made the coffee
But it sat there getting cold
See, I never drink it
Never could
It’s too strong for me
But that’s when I knew
Something had changed
You were so quiet
For so long
Said you’d been up for hours
Said you’d been thinking
About the last few days
Still, you kissed me
It was different
But somehow the same
And that’s when I knew
It’s the last time you would love me
The cold arrived
I closed my eyes
You left a gaping hole
How was I supposed to know?
You used to love me
You used to love me
I remember the days
The hours
The minutes
We spent them on loving
When the loving was fair
You told me you missed me
And meant it
Oh, how I wish you still did
I thought that I knew you
But that was when you used to love me
The cold arrived
I closed my eyes
You left a gaping hole
How was I supposed to know?
You used to love me
You used to love me
By now those days are gone
I’ve stopped counting the minutes
Since you left me
I swear that I’m all right
These days I’m better
I don’t mind sleeping alone
Still my mind always wanders
Back to the last time you loved me
The cold arrived
I closed my eyes
You left a gaping hole
How was I supposed to know?
You used to love me
You used to love me

Fallen
02:55
|

It was a winter night
And I was on my own
You were sitting next to me
And I had never felt so alone
The silence filled the room
But not my empty heartbeat
You watched as I cried out
But you never again held me
We laid down in the ashes
Of the world that we knew
We clawed at our impurities
Til our hands were black and blue
We dug our own graves
In the ruins of our love
And in the darkness
We fell
The night was filled with starlight
As it was in the beginning
We hung our heads with shame
As the fire claimed our wings
We laid down in the ashes
Of the world that we knew
We clawed at our impurities
Til our hands were black and blue
We dug our own graves
In the ruins of our love
And in the darkness
We fell
It was a winter night...

Over You
03:23
|
|||
I'm not angry at you
Oh no
I'm well past that point
I'm not crying over you
Oh no
I just laughed so hard
My tears got in the way
I know you think I'm all torn up
Thinking about the way you held me at night
But to be honest, darling
I like to spread out when I sleep
You see
I'm happy
I'm free
And the hold you had over me is gone
Been so long since I felt like me
I'm not bitter
No
Just don't wish you well at all
I know you'd like to see me crying
But I'm done with that
And I'm way way over you
You always liked to break my heart
In fact you made it a habit
To tell me you were shipping out
You gave yourself far too much credit
And at least you had the nerve
To tell me about your "side interests"
But revenge is well deserved
And I won't let you off that easy
For once
I'm happy
I'm free
And the hold you had over me is gone
Been so long since I felt like me
I'm not bitter
No
Just don't wish you well at all
I know you think that I'll be sorry
But I'll put two fingers up
And get over you
It's nice to reminisce about us now and then
Just like it's nice to go
and chew on broken glass
See but I won't go around telling everyone I know about you
If only you had that much class
At least
I'm happy
I'm free
And the hold you had over me is gone
Been so long since I felt like me
I'm not bitter
No
Just don't wish you well at all
I know you think it's you I'm missing
It's about time you learned to listen
Honey, I don't give a fuck
I'm over you
