Please please please No more melodies They lack impact, they're petty They've been made up already

Let me know the way Before there's hell to pay

Oh, your love give me a heart contusion Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red

Conversation once colored by esteem Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood

But it's to no avail, and I don't want the bail I promise you, everything will be just fine If there was a better way to go then it would find me

So I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love To save the pain of Once my flame and twice my burn

And it's a sad, sad world When a girl will break a boy just because she can

It's double-sided, 'cause I ruined it all But also saved myself by never believing you, dear Everything good, I deem too good to be true

I don't understand about complimentary colors and what they say

No, not baby anymore

It'd take the lot of it away

What should I do? Oh, after all the folderol And hauling over coals stops What will I do?

I’ll idealize, then realize that it’s no sacrifice

This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways

So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again And for a little while more I'll soar the uneven winds Complain and blame the sterile land

He didn't always guess right, but he usually got my gist

And I will try hard to hold on to you with open arms But don't let me ruin me

Every single night I endure the flight Of little wings of white flame butterflies in my brain

And when the crowd becomes your burden And you've early closed your curtains

They don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea But he washed me ashore and he took my pearl

So couldn't we skip the valedictories, I can see a door there, shut it and forget my number 'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know

What you did to me made me See myself something different Though I try to talk sense to myself

Here's coming a better version of me Here it comes, a better version of me

Fast as you can, baby Scratch me out, free yourself

And, baby, I wished for you Nobody sees when you are lyin' in your bed And I wanna crawl in with you, but I cry instead

Lying limp in your own hands

I'm no good at math And when I find my way back The fact is I just may stay Or I may not

I realize what I am now too smart to mention... to you You'll say you understand; you'll never understand I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why I don't know what to believe in; you don't know who I am

Mightn't be right that you're not here It's double-sided, 'cause I ruined it all

Now you have it, so tell me, baby, what's the word? Am I your gal, or should I get out of town? I just need to be reassured Do you just deal it out, or can you deal with all that I lay down?

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists I never did anything to you, man But no matter what I try You'll beat me with your bitter lies

And that signature thing is only growing harrowing

Unweighted down by passion or intensity Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts And he finds a home in me

Where did I learn? I make a fuss about a little thing The rhyme is losing to the riddling

And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love Let me know the way Before there's hell to pay

I had fun, fumbling around All the advice I shunned And I ran where they told me not to run

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes And I certainly haven't been spreading myself around I still only travel by foot, and by foot it's a slow climb But I'm good at being uncomfortable so I can't stop changing all the time

We could move in it and I'd soon forget That what I am is what I am 'cause I does what I does

It took the agenda from its place in my bed Made a merry paramour of me

Fast as you can, leave me

Meek and muffled It took me such a long time to get back up The first time you did it

Caution could but rarely ever helps Don't be down, my demeanor tends to disappoint It's hard enough even trying to be civil to myself

No, it doesn't seem right To take information given at close range For the gag, and the bind, and the ammunition round This is not about love

I made it to a dinner date My teardrops seasoned every plate

Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time Tell me you belong to me

Everybody cares and wears their sheep's clothes while they chaperone

So if you catch me trying to Find my way into your heart From under your skin

But I just won't listen Won't you go away, turn yourself in You're no good at confession

And in a little while we'll only have to wave No, not baby anymore If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

You'll say don't fear your dreams; it's easier than it seems You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
