Dining Room Table (lyrics)

Arms crossed
We stare
Across the table
Into thin air
This room's
So cold
With words we spoke
They went so unknown
You say
You hate
The way I grit my teeth
When I make mistakes
I say
You're wrong
Almost all the time
I only play along


Still we write our silly little love notes
In circles
Still we write our songs to keep it under cover
That

Four letters have shifted underneath the bed
These words you hate, but never ever said
I. Want Out. I. Want. Out
Four letters have shifted underneath our bed
Our home's not a home, just a hell instead
I. Want. Out. I. Want. Out.
You're not the only one.

Head low
Keep down
Unless you want them all
To find out
That we're not
So sweet
We've learned to twist
Almost everything
You say
You hate
The way I move my lips
When I speak
I say
You're wrong
Soon enough you'll figure out
That we don't belong

Still we write our silly little love notes
In circles
Still we write our songs to keep it under cover
That

Four letters have shifted underneath the bed
These words you hate, but never ever said
I. Want Out. I. Want. Out
Four letters have shifted underneath our bed
Our home's not a home, just a hell instead
I. Want. Out. I. Want. Out.
You're not the only one.

Oooh, Who knew?
That faces fall faster
Than I fell in love with you
Oooh, Who said?
That you and I...
Were perfect.

Still we write our silly love songs to keep it under cover that

Four letters have shifted underneath the bed
These words you hate, but never ever said
I. Want Out. I. Want. Out
Four letters have shifted underneath our bed
Our home's not a home, just a hell instead
I. Want. Out. I. Want. Out.
(Hit)
You're not the only one.

You don't care (lyrics)

Yes, you may use me again
The blood you need, spills from my hands
I'm in an aching need
And I--Wanted a friend
But what lies underneath
Won't matter, matter again

Don't lie to me
And tell me to speak
Don't say you need
To hear me, see me
You don't care, You don't care

Stumbling around a fool
I'd rather fall
I had my secrets too
Now you know them all
You keep me on a leash
When I need a hand
You got a hold of me
I don't understand

Don't lie to me
And tell me to speak
Don't say you need
To hear me, see me
You don't care, You don't care

All my life I've waited for
It to be---over
All my life I've wanted more
But I'm growing older
If I'm tied to you
To you, to you

Don't lie to me
And you need, you need
You want me near
But you don't--
You don't care
You don't care
You don't care
You lied
You don't care

Song I wrote falling asleep

Listen
I'll suit you well
My eyes have grown tired
Of distant veins, our hell
I tried, I fought
But burned, is how I wind up

Lines make my mind tricked again
I see more in than outside of them
I'd lie and say that I feel what you're feeling
But I'm feeling nothing

So here's to another night
On open highs
Of lacked sleep and day dreams at 3 a.m. East time
Here's to the friends who vent
And the one's who care to lie
He's to what keeps me up at night

Light seemed to move
Since the last time
The last time I moved from this spot
And stuck to the table is my lifeline
Stuck to the walls are my thoughts
Lay me down to rest
Oh shut my eyes for me
Lay me down to bed
Oh and if I could sleep

So here's to another night
On open highs
Of lacked sleep and day dreams at 3 a.m. East time
Here's to the friends who vent
And the one's who care to lie
He's to what keeps me up at night

The stars on my ceiling
They occupy my eyes
They moons in my palms
They make me fall apart

I've constantly imagined
What I'd like to see
A dream, oh, awake or asleep

So here's to what's right
And here's to my mind


So here's to another night
On open highs
Of lacked sleep and day dreams at 3 a.m. East time
Here's to the friends who vent
And the one's who care to lie
He's to what keeps me up at night
Oh here's to what keeps me up all night

Easier (lyrics)

It'd be so much easier
If I could blame you
Then I could drop it all
And run...
I'd have a reason
To move my feet
And no one could take you
You'd be all alone
While I move on

I can't make my way home
If what they say is true
Home is where the heart is
But I'm never going back to you

It'd be so much easier
To cry
If you'd left me there
That night
I can't bare the thoughts
That cross my mind
That you can move on with your life

Tell me, tell me
That you're not fine
Tell me, tell me
I'm on your mind
It's really the simple things
That keep me alive
Yeah, tell me, tell me
That you're not fine

It'd be so much easier
If I was sure
Then I could
Make it on my own
I'd have a reason
To push through
And not be forced to
I'm not the girl
That you once owned

It'd be so much easier
To cry
If you'd left me there
That night
I can't bare the thoughts
That cross my mind
That you can move on with your life

Tell me, tell me
That you're not fine
Tell me, tell me
I'm on your mind
It's really the simple things
That keep me alive
Yeah, tell me, tell me
That you're not fine

Whoa, whoa, whoa
I got my heart back
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It's a little cracked
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It's staying right here
Whoa, whoa, whoa
And you will not hear...it sing.


Tell me, tell me
That you're not fine
Tell me, tell me
I'm on your mind
It's really the simple things
That keep me alive
Yeah, tell me, tell me
That you're not fine
That you're not
That you're not
That you're not
That you're not fine

Don't Know What to Do (lyrics)

Can I speak honestly for once?
I don't want to be here
I don't want to shut you out
But I can't be your mirror

I feel myself pull away, tie myself to a wall
I don't want to lose your heart
Though I don't want to win at all

Do what you want
But I can't follow anymore
Do what you want
I won't shadow blindlessly anymore
Do what I want
Well I don't know what to do
All I know is what I want
Is to be far away from you

Smile, I can't say 'can't' can I?
An argument on a lover's lane, not one left to lie

I dug myself an empty hole
Into my side, my un-centered soul
I only guessed you'd ask me once
Though I don't want to be asked at all

Do what you want
But I can't follow anymore
Do what you want
I won't shadow blindlessly anymore
Do what I want
Well I don't know what to do
All I know is what I want
Is to be far away from you

It's not that I don't like you
I bet this makes no sense
But your sunshine's so suffocating
I keep on spewing nonsense
Breathe...Let me breathe
Breathe...Let. Me. Breathe...

Do what you want
But I can't follow anymore
Do what you want
I won't shadow blindlessly anymore
Do what I want
Well I don't know what to do
All I know is what I want
Is to be far away from you
Do what you want
Well I don't know what to do
Breathe...Let me breathe...

Shadow (lyrics)

When you're not around I'm not here
To the world I disappear
Because I need to fall behind
My dark is nothing without your light
Though I too, shine through..Shine through
But it's faded...oh...

So what are you gonna do
When you feel like crying?
You ask, what are you gonna do?
When you feel like that

I say I am not your shadow
So you'll never know, you'll never know
No, I am not your shadow
I only followed, to keep my tears in the dark

Oh, how well can I fit in? 7
When the light I'm made from 6
Isn't hanging--around 6
Oh, should I sink or swim? 6
I'm not so used to solid feet 8
Or solid ground. 4

So what are you gonna do
When you feel like crying?
You ask, what are you gonna do?
When you feel like that

I say I am not your shadow
So you'll never know, you'll never know
No, I am not your shadow
I only followed, to keep my tears in the dark
But when I'm in the dark
I fall apart

So what are you gonna say?
Why you feel like crying?
What are you gonna say?
Why you feel like crying?

Because I am not your shadow
You'll never know, you'll never know
No, I am not your shadow
I only followed, to keep my tears in the dark
But when I'm in the dark
I fall apart
No, I am not your shadow
No, I am not your shadow
I wish I was your shadow
Cause I...
Fall apart
