I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them And you know it makes me sick to be on that list But I should have thought of that before we kissed You say you're gonna burn before you mellow I will be the one to burn you Why'd you have to go and pick me? When you knew that we were different, completely I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list But I should have thought of that before we kissed Your wildness scares me So does your freedom You say you can't stand the restrictions I find myself trying to change you If you were meant to be my lover I wouldn't have to And I feel so mean, I feel in between 'Cause I'm about to give you away I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend (for someone else to take) I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend (am I making a mistake?) I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them (all the time that we spent) I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girl, friend I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list But I should have thought of that before we kissed I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list But I should have thought of that before we kissed I'm about to give you away for someone else to take I'm about to give you away for someone else to take We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs And we've been in between the days for years And I know that when I see you I'm going to die I know I'm going to want you and you know why It's going to kill me to see you with the next girl 'Cause I'm the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl But I should have thought of that before we kissed... I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list But I should have thought of that before we kissed I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list But I should have thought of that before we kissed | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Oh yes I'm guilty You and your museum of lovers The precious collection you've housed in your covers My simpleness threatened by my own admission And the bags are much too heavy In my insecure condition My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again But I still love to wash in your old bathwater Love to think that you couldn't love another I can't help it...you're my kind of man Wanted and adored by attractive women Bountiful selection at your discretion I know I'm diving into my own destruction So why do we choose the boys that are naughty? I don't fit in so why do you want me? And I know I can't tame you...but I just keep trying 'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater Love to think that you couldn't love another I'm on your list with all your other women But I still love to wash in your old bathwater You make me feel like I couldn't love another I can't help it...you're my kind of man Why do the good girls always want the bad boys? So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions 'Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater Love to think that you couldn't love another Share a toothbrush...you're my kind of man I still love to wash in your old bathwater Make me feel like I couldn't love another I can't help it...you're my kind of man No I can't help myself I can't help myself I still love to wash in your old bathwater | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Simple Kind Of Life | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

For a long time I was in love Not only in love, I was obsessed With a friendship that no one else could touch It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells And all I wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life And all I needed was a simple man So I could be a wife I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean I don't know how it got to this point I always was the one with all the love You came along, I'm hunting you down Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight And all I wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life If we met tomorrow for the very first time Would it start all over again? Would I try to make you mine? I always thought I'd be a mom Sometimes I wish for a mistake The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get You seem like you'd be a good dad Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life How'd I get so faithful to my freedom? A selfish kind of life When all I ever wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

In the morning I wake up And in the night I sleep Since the day that I was born Repeat, repeat, repeat Brought to this life Born to this life Where was I before? Non-existent? Not at all? Will I ever know? Today is my birthday And I get one every year And some day... Hard to believe But I'll be buried six feet underground Subconsciously motivated natural instinct Alter nature for the pleasure Orthocycline Flirt with conception Slow the cycle Will the baby grow? Social tradition interference Control, control, control Today is my birthday And I get one every year And some day... Hard to believe But I'll be buried six feet underground I'll be dead and gone, no longer around Spinning, spinning Before I can recall All the unknown chemicals Control the cycle The successive generations From dust to dust Burying my grandma Then give birth to my own daughter Today is my birthday And I get one every year And some day... Hard to believe But I'll be buried six feet underground Today is my birthday And I get one every year And some day... Hard to believe But I'll be buried six feet underground I'll be dead and gone, no longer around I'll be buried six feet underground Magic's In the Makeup |
Can you tell I'm faking it? But I want to be myself | A counterfeit disposition Can't be good for my health So many different faces Depending on the different phases My personality changes I'm a chameleon There's more than one dimension I can fool you and attract attention Camouflage my nature Let me demonstrate... Makeup's all off Who am I? Magic's in the make up Who am I? If you bore me then I'm comfortable If you interest me I'm scared My attraction paralyzes me No courage to show my true colors that exist But I want to be the real thing But if you catch my eye can't be authentic The one's I loath are the one's that know me the best My makeup's all off Who am I? The magic's in the make up Who am I? The makeup's all off Who am I? If the magic's in the make up Then who am I? Magic's in the makeup But I want to be real the thing But the magic's in the makeup And I want to be the real thing My makeup's all off Who am I? Artificial Sweetner |
Oh yes I'm guilty | For leasing myself out Not ready to go up for sale Can't seem to give it up Stubborn, so selfish I'm showing off the worst in me The return of Saturn Assessing my life Second guessing... I'm full of artificial sweetener My heart's been deceitful It's all artificial sweetener I'm faking I love you's You're forcing me to You really deserve love I want to love you But I can't seem to find myself My wilting effort Our progress report I'm only sure that I'm not sure I shudder to be honest Who's behind it all now? Who's the author? I'm full of artificial sweetener My heart's been deceitful It's all artificial sweetener I'm faking I love you's You're forcing me to Re-read, re-write, redo, undo I'm stuck on this page I was born two weeks late Is that why I hesitate? I'm on the fence Push me off it I want to be on your side now And keep a promise I'm full of artificial sweetener My heart's been deceitful It's all artificial sweetener My heart's been deceitful I'm faking I love you's You're forcing me to Marry Me |
I can't help that I like to be kissed | And I wouldn't mind if my name changed to Mrs. This is one side, my conventional side An attraction to tradition My vintage disposition My sincere architecture And I want to cook him dinner But I'm more indecisive than ever And who believes in forever? Who will be the one to marry me? A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree A creature conditioned to employ matrimony Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces The ceremony makes me zealous As the past quickly ceases Fear from being neutered I'm now prude, now defensive Quickly I'm altered and tempted by new love only rented Do you believe you'll marry me? You might be the one to marry me Back, looking back, looking back at me I'm not how I used to be Take me back, take me back into history Diamond ring, tie me down just like it used to be Who will be the one to marry me? Who will be the one to marry me? New |
Don't let it go away | This feeling has got to stay Don't let it go away This feeling has got to stay And I can't believe I've had this chance now Don't let it go away New, you're so new You, you're new And I never had this taste in the past New, you're so new My normal hesitation is gone And I really gravitate to your will Are you here to fetch me out? 'Cause I've never had this taste in my mouth Oh you're not old And you're not familiar Recently discovered and I'm learning about you New, you're so new You, you're new And you're consuming me violently And your reverence shamelessly tempting me Who sent this maniac? 'Cause I never had this taste in the past Oh you're different, you're different from the former Like a fresh battery, I'm energized by you Don't let it go away This feeling has got to stay Don't let it go away This feeling has got to stay And I can't believe I've had this chance now Don't let it go away Why am I so curious? This territory is dangerous I'll probably end up at the start I'll be back in line with my broken heart New, you're so new You, you're new And I never had this taste in the past Don't let it go away This feeling has got to stay Don't let it go away This feeling has got to stay And I can't believe I've had this chance now Don't let it go away And I can't believe it Can't believe it Can't believe it Can't believe it Don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay Don't let it go away Too Late |
I just want to take you away from everyone | And keep you stashed under my pillow And then I'd take you out simply for my own pleasure And wear you when the occasions special Then I'd put you on like a diamond So I can sparkle and be the envy of my friends I'd proudly hold the leash that I'd have you on So you can't stray and follow me around all day It's too late now I don't think it can fade It's too real now Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze Compulsion has stained me I'm nervously cradling our young love, without known limits love Like a butterfly cupped in my hands I peek in to see beauty trapped Confined it flutters Then it leaves behind colorful dust To remind me of the special times we've spent But of course it has to leave my clutch But enough's never enough to make a dent It's too late now I don't think it can fade It's too real now Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze And in time it will end And there really isn't hope for the two of us But right now I give in... It's too late now I don't think it can fade It's too real now Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze Fulfillment just adds fuel to the Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze Comforting Lie |
I started out on the wrong foot | Now I'm not myself I am Jekyll, I am Hyde Found this place to hide Come seek me Oh, so up and down So back and forth So insecure Can't get this taste out of my mouth Swallow it down Pretend Hold it, hold it all in Let it build up Build a bomb Blow it, blow it away Clear it all out Just end it I'm just a normal person Without those problems When did it change? Admissions so embarrassing I'm on the verge of tears again Hold it, hold it all in Let it build up Build a bomb And blow it, blow it away Clear it all out Just end it Oh look I took the Band-Aid off Did I take it off too soon? Hysterical confession My big courageous move Don't gasp at the predictable A comforting lie can't last Preordained checklist of this awkward love It's so sad Hold it, hold it all in Let it build up Oh, build a bomb Blow it, blow it away Clear it all out Just end it Sort it, sort it out Just give it back No thank you Toss it, toss it away Eliminate Just give up I can't decide This tug of war I'm feeling weak Suspension Without Suspense |
My divorce from dependence | That's when you found me I was still soft And we always were in trouble Odds stacked against us And trouble's what we are We get so far And then it just starts rewinding And the same old song We're playing it again Suspension without suspense Now that I've murdered your inspiration And I forced you off Do you hate me? Do you want revenge? I want to call you But I won't We get so far And then it just starts rewinding And the same old song We're playing it again Suspension without suspense Oh the pessimistic protection plan Moderation loving I've been hardened by the circumstance We knew this was coming We get so far And then it just starts rewinding And the same old song We're playing it again Suspension without suspense We get so far And then it just starts rewinding And the same old song We're playing it again and again Suspension without suspense Intentions without intent But I don't want the love we have to end Staring Problem |
My eyes are so rootless | They wander, I follow I keep staring, I can't stop it I know I shouldn't But I can't stop it Such a cute girl I'm so jealous I wish I looked exactly like her What's it like to have that body? I'm gawking while I wonder S-T-A-R-I-N-G I can't stop staring S-T-A-R-I-N-G I can't stop staring With my envy I steal glances Resentful fault finder This peek-a-boo's become a problem Predisposed cat fighter S-T-A-R-I-N-G I can't stop staring S-T-A-R-I-N-G I can't stop staring Home Now |
I'm hanging out with me | And you're a vacant chair A chosen compromise This space we rarely share And if you lived here you'd be home now So what you givin' up for me? And what shall I give up for you? Aimless expectations passing by If you lived here you'd be home now If you lived here you'd be home now And to make it real I need to have you here I need to have you I need to hold you Barren wasted heart Neglect of normalcy And if you lived here you'd be home now Oh if you lived here you'd be home now And to make it real I need to have you here I need to have you It can't be sincere Unless you spend time here I need to see you... Supervision is what I need Some consistence, tangibility Some casual light days Part of the furniture I want to take you for granted And see you regular So what you givin' up for me? And what shall I give up for you? The separations tired, it's been too long And to make it real I need to have you here I need to have you It can't be sincere Unless you spend time here I need to see you I need you... Come home now Dark Blue |
I'm tired from exploring you | I'm sorry you've had some scary days I'm lucky, they had me on a leash Exposing, sometimes you frighten me And it's too bad you're so sad I wish you could have had what I had I'm loathing most of your history Hesitation, but then you siphon me Your potential, well I'll indulge in that Violent timing explains the aftermath And it's too bad you're so sad I wish you could have had what I had And it's so sad it's too bad Maybe I can make you feel better Oh maybe I'm supposed to make you feel better I want to comfort you Unlike you I had it easy You're dark blue Stained from previous days And you're so sad It's too bad I wish you could have had what I had And it's too bad you're so sad Maybe I can make you feel better I'm sorry Big Distraction |
You're my concentration | Everything else is a bore I've got myself snagged on you No self-control Now all that I want do Sleep in the shadow of you For the rest of my life Now I can chisel Chisel and build a bomb A pain deposited From past scars 'Cause the memories they can sleep And we can live comfortably For the rest of my life Wrong or right Shipwrecked into you Situation is foolish But I will fight You're my big distraction Or biggest companion I'm falling fast Like an avalanche Indentured servant A slave to a slave Thank god for my hopeful heart And for mutual feelings Well look how it's balanced now Maybe we'll just settle down For the rest of our lives Wrong or right Shipwrecked into you Situation is foolish But I will fight You're my big distraction Or biggest companion I'm falling fast Like an avalanche Look how it's balanced now Maybe we'll just settle down For the rest of our lives Wrong or right Shipwrecked into you Situation is foolish But I will fight You're my big distraction Or biggest companion I'm falling fast Like an avalanche You're my big distraction Or biggest companion I'm falling fast Like an avalanche | ||
