You left me barely standing
Wondering what could have happened
Can't stop myself from hating myself for being stupid
I ignored the signs
Drinking out of my mind
Never though you had it in you
I told myself a lie
Passive aggressive shots
They never, ever stop
You had me conditioned
And I can't undo the damage
And the clock keeps on ticking
My spiteful heart keeps beating
And as long as I'm still breathing
I'm gonna keep on singing
You broke my bleeding heart
Into a million little broken pieces
I'm happy anyhow!
I'm choking on resentment
Drowning in contemptment
I'm coughing on my pride
Surprised I'm still alive
I keep on stepping
The pain is unrelenting
Why was it necessary, when I knew that we were finished?
My soul is wearing thin
Notes are falling flat
And I'm still wandering around the distant past
And the clock keeps on ticking
My spiteful heart keeps beating
And as long as I'm still breathing
I'm gonna keep on singing
You broke my bleeding heart
Into a million little broken pieces
You fucking broke my...
And the clock keeps on ticking
My spiteful heart keeps beating
And as long as I'm still breathing
I'm gonna keep on singing
You broke my bleeding heart
Into a million little broken pieces

Guilty little trips
Passing through your lips
And driving down a dusty throat
Flowers in a vase
Fractured window panes
Remind me of a funeral home
There's no place like home
Deepest sympathies
Dearly departed
Separated by lies drawn in sand
No going back to where we started
Tidings of misery and bouquets of flowers for our broken home
Keep sending me flowers for a broken home
Bitter memories, haunting melodies, brittle hearts and broken bones, and flowers and a runny nose
[No place like home]

All work and no play
Isn't that what they say they makes for another dull day?
Why bother running?
The rats already won the race
I want to sing with the birds
Don't want to get up early just to eat a worm
And all the money money I earn ends up in someone else's pockets
Nothing left for me to burn
Average Joe and Jane Doe
They tell a tale of American woe
They couldn't keep keeping up with the Jones
Tried to have a big fat slice of American Pie and they choked
It got stuck in their throats
I had my piece of American Pie and I choked
What are you gonna do?
I've got a mountain of bills
I'm calling in ill
Every day feels like Monday
I've got a mountain of debt
And I'm all out of breath
I'm letting the rats do the running
I'm in a bucket
I'm heading to Hell
I'm in the same boat with everyone else
I know I'm just a slave to material things
I'm broke
It's all stuck in my throat
Well, I had my slice of American Pie and I choked
What are yo gonna do?
I'm in a bucket
I'm heading to Hell
I'm in the same boat with everyone else
I know I'm just a slave to material things
I'm broke
It got stuck in my throat
Well, I had my slice of American Pie and I choked
What are yo gonna do?
Why bother running?
The rats already won the race

A Cloud's Gotta Rain

A cloud's gotta rain
A cloud's gotta rain
And the rain is gonna fall down on me
Day after day
I sit and wait
For the rain to come and fall down on you
You don't deserve the sunshine
I don't deserve the rain
So in the meantime
I'll sit and contemplate
The times I waited for you
The times you never came
The time I got no answer when I called your name
A cloud's gotta rain
A cloud's gotta rain
And the rain is gonna fall down on me
You don't deserve the sunshine
I don't deserve the rain
So in the meantime
I'll sit and contemplate
The times I waited for you
The times you never came
The time I got no answer when I called your name
A cloud's gotta rain
A cloud's gotta rain
And the rain is gonna fall down on me

Fell Into a Hole

I fell into a hole
Lonely and cold
I can't out of the blues
It's all been for naught
Brief passing thoughts
Everything's wrong
I can't move
A big empty house
I should get out
But there's nowhere left to go to
The silence is loud
Shadows of doubt
Creeping around my dark groove
I don't wanna walk
But I could lost
There's nowhere left to go to
Tied up in knots
I just wanna stop
Thinking so much about you
The weight of the world
Turns on a dime
The backhand of fate
And I'm caught in the headlights
And time keeps dragging me along for the ride
And I'm miles away
From the light
It won't shine on me tonight
And I'm miles away
From the light
It won't shine on me tonight
Tied up in knots
I just wanna stop
Thinking so much about you

Hey, Ma!

It seems like so long ago
When I fell so far behind
I've never got off to a good start
Not one time
Hey, Ma, can you help?
Hey, Dad, do you got any money?
Another night spent all alone
A bandage I left in the cold
A lottery ticket
I'm not a winner
A microwave
I'm home
Hey, Ma, can you help?
Hey, Dad, do you got any money?
Cuz I'll be your friend in need
A friend is a friend, indeed
I've got my hand out and
You've got a windfall
And I'll pay you back next week
Hey, Ma, can you help?
Hey, Dad, do you got any money?
Birthdays and Valentines cards
Cake and a candle and chocolate heart
I'm making wishing
Save me I'm sinking
It's not the thought that counts
Hey, Ma, can you help?
Hey, Dad, do you got any money?
Cuz I'll be your friend in need
A friend is a friend, indeed
I've got my hand out and
You've got a windfall
And I'll pay you back next week
Hey, Ma, can you help?
Hey, Dad, do you got any money?

Out of My Mind
03:23
|

Another day
A resolution I never meant to make
Another promise meant to be broken
I'm out of my mind again
Another morning
I wake up wishing
That I could fly away
A rude awakening
Knocks me senseless
Out of my mind again
A cup of coffee
Radio station can't find a song to play
Just noise and static
Telling me nothing
Out of my mind again
I took a pill
But I can't sleep
So I lie awake instead
Alarm starts ringing
I start thinking
I'm out of my mind again
Out of my mind again
Another day
A resolution I never meant to make
Another promise meant to be broken
I'm out of my mind again

I don't want to be defeated, ever lost and mistreated
Every time I turn around, just to say your sorry
Never wanted to believe it, never fought to feel needed
But every time you turn around, my head between my feelings
I don't want to be defeated, never lost or mistreated
Every time I turn around, my head between my feelings
I don't want to be defeated, never lost or mistreated
Every time I turn around, my head between my feelings
I don't want to be defeated, never lost or mistreated
Every time I turn around, my head between my feelings
Every time I turn around, my head between my feelings

Cookie Jar

I might not be just what you wanted
And maybe I'm not quite what you need
And if all you offered me was nothing
You could take everything from me
And maybe my hair ain't the right color
My weight is more than it should be
But if you look a little closer
You could take everything from me
And you can have all of my money
You can drive my beat up car
Cuz I just want to be your honey
The only cookie in your jar
Things that I say might seem foolish
I never seem to be prepared
I always start but never finish
I can't fool myself, I feel too weird
And I try too hard to be funny
And I drink way too much at bars
And I just want to be your honey
The only cookie in your jar
I try too hard to be funny
And I drink way too much at bars
And I just want to be your honey
The only cookie in your jar
Cuz I just want to be your honey
The only cookie in your jar

So Lonely

Lonely
I thought I was your only
Yeah, you told me you adored me
Ah, but where were you last night?
Yeah you told me that you loved
And at night you dream about me
And that you would die without me
Ah, but where were you last night?
I saw you with another girl
And you held her tight
You ran your fingers through her hair
And it made me sick inside
You can't get your story straight
You say it's all in my head
But when I see you with that girl
It makes me wish that I was dead
Cuz now I feel so old and used
Beaten down
I feel abused
Once again I played the fool
I had to fall in love with you
And you lied right to my face
You said your life would be a waste without me
Now I'm lonely
I thought I was your only
Yeah, you told me you adored me
Ah, but where were you last night?
Yeah you told me that you loved
And at night you dream about me
Yeah, and that you would die without me
Ah, but where were you last night?
I heard you on the telephone
You said how much you cared
And you were talking to that girl
You didn't know that I could hear
You were telling her the things
You once whispered in my ear
But just don't choose her over me
Or I'll fade and disappear
Cuz I can't live with the truth
But I can't live without you
I don't care I've got no pride
Without you I'm not alive
You can keep her on the sly
Just come back to me tonight
I love you
Now I'm lonely
I thought I was your only
Yeah, you told me you adored me
Ah, but where were you last night?
Yeah you told me that you loved
And at night you dream about me
Yeah, and that you would die without me
Ah, but where were you last night?
