Don't Miss Me Now
03:33
|
|||
|
I knew you wouldn't be true
What kind of fool do you think I am?
You think I never been
ever been
around here
before?
It never works for anyone
anymore
I can't stand to hear the sound of slammin doors
It aint love if it hurts like this
dont even know what there is to miss
cause it always ends up
with someone on the floor cryin
don't help me find my way
I'm lost and I like it that way
there aint no use in tryin anymore
So don't miss me now
cause I don't think I know how
to miss you now
cause I don't think I know how
to miss you now
So don't miss me now
cause I don't think I know how
to miss you now
So don't miss me now
Who said I needed someone
noone else ever seemed to need me
noone else ever seemed to need me
It never works for anyone
anymore
I can't stand to hear the sound of slammin doors
I'm sick of all your games
good luck with your hall of shame
I'm tired of your tales
and all your lyin
I can see through your eyes
I'm lost and I'm hypnotized
and all I see is pain outside my window
So don't miss me now
cause I don't think I know how
to miss you now
cause I don't think I know how
to miss you now
So don't miss me now
cause I don't think I know how
to miss you now
So don't miss me now

You went and left me when you said,
That you knew me then you went,
You went and used me when you said,
That you love me then you went,
Left a message on the table
On how you were never able
To feel the way
I feel
About you now
To love me like I love you
To feel the way I feel now
To love me like I love you
To feel the way I feel now
To love me like I love you
To love me like I love you
To feel the way I feel now
To love me like I love you
Wait for me,
Don’t leave me alone in the dark
Do I,
Do I,
Wanna see the truth behind your eyes
I finally see,
How much I never meant to you
We,
All wanna know the truth
Until it burns us
You went and left me when you said,
That you knew me then you went,
You went and used me when you said,
That you love me then you went,
Left a message on the table
On how you were never able
To feel the way
I feel
About you now
To love me like I love you
To feel the way I feel about you
To love me like I love you
To feel the way I feel about you
To love me like I love you
Did I ever wanna know,
Did I ever wanna feel,
(that you knew me then you went)
The way I feel about you now
(that you love me then you went)
Did I ever wanna know,
Did I ever wanna feel,
(never able)
The way I feel about you now
(To feel the way I feel about you)
You went and left me when you said,
That you knew me then you went,
You went and used me when you said,
That you love me then you went,
Left a message on the table
On how you were never able
To feel the way
I feel
About you now
To feel the way I feel about you
To love me like I love you
To feel the way I feel now
To love me like I love you

To love me like I love you
To feel the way I feel about you
To love me like I love you
Love me like I love you
To feel the way that I feel about you
Love me like I love you
Did I ever wanna know,
Did I ever wanna feel,
(that you knew me then you went)
The way I feel about you now
(that you love me then you went)
Did I ever wanna know,
Did I ever wanna feel,

Thinkin' About You
03:23

I've been thinkin' about you,
but I guess it's been
alright without you
I've made some new friends,
lost some old friends,
and I lost you too
I'm not fighting
I'm just livin
like I'm supposed to do
yeah
(I don't really want you back)
but I've been thinkin about you
(I don't really want you back)
(I don't really need you back)
by now
these things
they always happen
I've made some new friends,
lost some old friends,
and I lost you too
I'm not fighting
I'm just livin
like I'm supposed to do
yeah
(I don't really want you back)
but I've been thinkin about you
(I don't really want you back)
(I don't really need you back)

Speak For Me

Joan of arc said we all should've seen this coming,
we got open hearts
but our minds are shut
now we're running
Away,
well you people don't speak for me
Today,
maybe this couldve been what it should've been
always
well you people don't speak for me
no you people dont speak for me
Said I don't wanna live in a world without lovin,
spin around like my records already been broken
but I can't keep sittin round prayin and hopin
people on the streets have never heard their voices been spoken
where are you now?
people don't speak for me
have you ever been broken?
people don't speak for me
always
no you people dont speak for me
I keep tryin to tell you
always
people don't speak for me

Renee
03:43

Do you taste desire
Burning in the back of your mind
She said She missed tomorrow
Time was never on my side
She's looking in the bathroom mirror
Staring down all her fears
As she wipes away her tears
It's too late
As her mascara smears
She said I'm ready to go if you are
Shes gotta get away from this bar
She's gotta drive drive drive away
Let's leave this old place renee
let's run away renee
She said she came from Pittsburgh
And she doesn't know her way around here
She wants to jump on a plane
And get away from the rain
She can't dry out around here
And you know she clean up around here
She can't run around around here
She was wearing her tattoo sleeves
And she asked me if I wanna leave

Run away,
she said shes always runnin away
Fall in love,

she said she never wants to fall in love again
She aint a fool for you
so go and find a different girl to use
cause shes been through enough boys like you
now she runnin away
gone to found a new place
said shes better off alone
so you better go home
she dont need you

said she gone and moved on

and she left without a trace
so you try to save face
she dont need you
she dont need you now

she said its better that way
cause people gonna try to use you

said that they knew you

and she wonder when the times right

I'm all alone again
Left with the voices in my head
Sing me to sleep
Because I don't wanna live without you
It just doesn't make much sense
Since you been gone
It's so hard now
To move on
When I'm used to
You being around
What feels like all my life
When I'm used to the taste of you
Nothing else just feels quite right
Since you been gone

Time Forgets
03:09
|
|||
|
Time forgets
no matter how hard we fight to be
remembered
All my simple minded dreams
never really meant anything
to anyone
except for me
but I can't find the purpose in that
letting be
trying to see
that its hopeless
when you're blind to the fact
that none of this ever mattered
some times you lose yourself to your thoughts
and theres really no way
to explain the feeling in your bones
even when you're home
you're all alone
in a place that used to be
filled with life
and so much love
did any of this ever really matter
to anyone
to anything
except for me
I can't find the purpose in that
its hopeless when you're blind to the fact
that none of this ever really mattered
None of this,
none of this,
none of this
ever really mattered
letting be
trying to see
that its hopeless
when your blind to the fact
that none of this ever really mattered
none of this ever really mattered
It hurts sometimes
but you gotta let it go
