All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just 'cause I said it, it don't mean I meant it,
People say crazy things,
Just 'cause I said it, don't that mean I meant it,
Just 'cause you heard it,

My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different ways
But it’s all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I’m just trippin’

Every time a thought clouded up my head
Every single word that I never said
I refuse to feel ashamed
Let it rain, let it rain
All the hurt that's been stuck inside of me
Make it pour, make it bleed
Let the rain wash it clean, wash it clean
Let it rain
Every little tear I was scared to cry
Everything I feared but I kept inside
I don't want to hold it back one more day
Oh, I'll wash it away
Every time a thought clouded up my head
Every single word that I never said
I refuse to feel ashamed
Let it rain, oh, let it rain

She's no good for me
I know that she's a wild flower
She's got a restlessness
A beautifulness, a thing about her
But here I am again calling her back
Letting her drive me crazy
It's like I love this pain a little too much
Love my heart all busted up
Something 'bout her, we just don't work
But I can't walk away
It's like I love this pain
It's just an on again
And off again situation
It's just striking a match
A tank of gas combination
But here I am again lighting it up
Knowing that she'll just burn me
It's like I love this pain a little too much
Love my heart all busted up
Something 'bout her, we just don't work
But I can't walk away
It's like I love this pain
It's like I love this life
When nothing's right, yeah something's wrong
It's like I'm just not me
If I can't be a sad, sad song
It's like I love this pain a little too much
Love my heart all busted up
Something 'bout her, we just don't work
But I can't walk away
It's like I love this pain
Oh yeah, it's like I love this pain
I can't walk away, oh no
It's like I love this pain

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absentmindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless

You've got a way with me
Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I've gotta say-you really got a way
You've got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means
Can't you see... you got a way with me
It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love
You've got a way with words
You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me

Mate, you're too late
And your weren't worth the wait
Now, were you?
It's out of my hands
Since you blew your last chance
When you played me
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that I'll fall
Mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain't all that
Maybe, there's no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I'm walking away
When I found out
How you messed me about
I was broken
Back then I believed you
Now, I don't need you
No more

Baby you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you, you're supposed to, break my heart?
I expect you do, so why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human cause
Only an angel can be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You

You don’t want me, no
You don’t need me
Like I want you, oh
Like I need you
And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life
You can’t see me, no
Like I see you
I can’t have you, no
Like you have me
And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life
Oh, Oh, Ohhh
Oh, Oh, Ohhh
You can’t feel me, no
Like I feel you
I can’t steal you, no
Like you stole me
And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life

Ooh she may be weary
And young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never, never, never possess
But while she's there waiting
And without them try a little tenderness
[Thats all you gotta do]
It’s not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has - her greaves and care
But the soft words they are spoken so gentle
Yeah
But, oh, that makes it, makes it easier to bear, yeah
You won’t regret it
No, no,
Young girls they don’t forget it
Love is their only happiness, yes, yes
But it’s all so easy
All you gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness
You've got to love her if you want her
Squeeze her
Don’t tease her
Never leave her
Get to her
Gotta try a little tenderness
Thats all you gotta do
You`ve got to love her
hold her Don't tease her
Never leave her
Make love to her
Hold her, man

You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothing I can do about it
set me free, why don't cha babe
  get out my life, why don't cha babe
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha babe
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else Hey!
Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on...

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

I used to sing to your twisted symphony
The words that had me trapped inside your misery,
but now I know
the reason why I couldn't breathe
'Cause all I want is everything you're not
So go ahead and slam the door
'Cause you can't shut me out
And no I don't, I don't care what you say
'Cause all I really, all I really want
Is everything you're not
Everything you're not not not

Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides,
And your walk by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again,
As if I don’t already see them.
I walk with my head down,
Trying to block you out cause I’ll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again.

I know you see me
Like some wide eyed dreamer
That just rolled in off a dusty mid west bus
Yeah, on the outside I look fragile
But on the inside is something you can’t crush
‘Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on
You may fool me
And I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
‘Cause I’m country strong
I have weathered
Colder winters, longer summers
Without a drop of rain
Push me in a corner
And I’ll come out fighting
I may lose but I ‘ll always keep my faith

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I`ll never tread
These are the dreams I`ll dream instead
This is the joy that`s seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
`Cause I don`t think you know how I feel

Every now and then I get so sad
'Cause I miss you since you left me
I'm so disconnected from my life
Sometimes I can't stand the morning light
'Cause I miss you since you left me,
I'm just a reflection of your heart
In the middle of this night,
I want you back, I really need ya.

I'm an angel, I'm a devil
I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I'm a million colors
Sometimes I'm black and white
I am all extremes
Try figure me out you never can
There's so many things I am

Never would`ve said
forever if i knew
we`d end so fast
Why did you say
I love you
if you knew that
it wouldn`t last

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
'Cause maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you thought that it got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I knew better then to let you break my heart
This soul you’ll never see again, won’t be showing scars
You still love her I can see it in your eyes
The truth is all that I can hear
Every time you lie
I woke up the next morning
With a smile on my face
And a long list of gentlemen
Happy to take your place
Less trashier, much classier
Then who you prove to be
How long’s it gonna take before
You see that she’s no me

You’re invisible
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face
Lost sight
Couldn’t see
When it was you and me

i like books more than people

I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to,
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you
I was blindfolded
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home
Here and now, this I vow

Everybody's got a secret
Can you tell me what is mine
Can you tell me what you'd find
I'd tell you if you keep it I promise not to lie
Well I have the fears the pain and the tears I just can't hide
It all disappears 'cause everything passes with the time
All you need is reason to believe

You could have left me on a friday
Would have loved to had least had the weekend
To go under and
To stay under
To get better
To stay better
But you had to pick a monday
Now I gotta go to work
And get through 5 days
And get through it
And if I can't do it
And no, I can't do it

How can I decide what’s right when you’re clouding up my mind
I can’t win your losing fight all the time
How can I ever own what’s mine when you’re always taking sides
But you won’t take away my pride, no not this time
Not this time…

Did you ever love me?
Does it even matter?
Did you even notice
The whole world shatter?
I just wanna hold you
and tell you that I'm sorry
But I just keep it all
Inside...
That way it won't hurt so much
When we say goodbye.

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

All my life I’ve been good but now, I’m thinking what the hell
All I want is to mess around and I don’t really care about
If you love me, if you hate me, you can’t save me, baby, baby
All my life I’ve been good but now, whoa, what the hell

One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion.
That big old smile is all you wore.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Things I've never felt before.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
You can hold me to that.

We're going
round and round
We're never gonna stop going
round and round
We'll never get where we are going
round and round
Well your gonna miss me
Cause I’m getting dizzy
Going round and round, and round

If I could take it all back I would now
I never meant to let you all down
And now I've got to try to turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up this mess I made
Maybe It's not to late

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

I just need one more kiss, one more touch
I just can't get enough of you
