I've managed to make her cry again - but I swear that it wasn't my fault
Random thoughts ran out of me and turned into words
If only there's a way that I could make her hold the tears
I would let her know the only way I really feel

But she doesn't want to hear me speak - I hope I didn't kill it for good
Turns her head away from me - she's got me so misunderstood
If only there's a way that I could make her hold her tears
I would let her know the only way I really feel

how can i show you my love
how can i tell you that you are the one
what can i do just to make you believe me
how can i show you my love

I've managed to make you smile again - though I know it won't last too long
I better think of something new and hope that you won't take it wrong
Why is it so hard for me to make you understand
That all the things you think I said I never meant

how can i show you my love - how can i show you
how can i tell you that you are the only one
what can i do just to make you believe me
how can i show you my love

Every time I see you I just wanna hold you in my arms
Instead of finding new ways to convince you
But it feels like I'm at risk each time I open up my mouth
I wouldn't speak, but you need me to constantly remind you that I
Love you
Need you

how can i show you my love - how can i show you
how can i tell you that you are the one
what can i do just to make you believe me
baby tell me how can i show you my love

i'm running out of ways to let you know
that i love you, that i need you
how can i tell you that you are the one
you know you are the one for me
what can i do just to make you believe me
how can i show you
how can i show you
how can i show you
my love
i swear that it wasn't my fault

You're still driving but I know
Just what you're gonna do when you get here
You'll take your skirt off while we kiss hello
And draw down all the curtains

Light some candles for the mood, they make you want me
Slide your hands below my shirt and put them on me
'Cause you think I only want the thing you do so physically
But it seems as if my heart is sneaking up on me

every time you're at my place you make me wanna
every time I see your face it makes me wanna
every time I'm with you
you make me wanna fall in love

I hear the doorbell ringing twice
Finally it's true we're recreating
Through the screen I see your hazel eyes - we've been so overdue
You know I'm waiting

I've been counting down the seconds that are holding back the time
Dreamed so many nights about the last time you were mine
So I turn the key, pull the door, I know that you're right there
But once I see you all I'll wanna do is stand and stare

every time you're at my place you make me wanna
every time I see your face it makes me wanna
every time I'm with you
you make me wanna fall in love

It used to be enough to only touch you
But now I'm so alone when I'm without you
So let us spend more time just you and me together
Don't see no one else - stay with me
Forever and ever and ever
Just stay stay
Stay with me

anything for you to stick around
let's not let go of the love we found
i really mean it
let's get committed
lets make it last
we can make it last
stay
stay with me
i swear you make me wanna fall in love
every time I'm with you
every time I'm with you

Morning sunrise
Make me feel I wasted yesterday
On the same job
Same car
Still every night I dream that life can go my way

And then I wake up to the same alarm at 7:47
It gives me thirteen minutes to get to work by eight

i always thought i'd end up somewhere more exciting
somewhere better than just working to get paid
i always thought i'd end up somewhere more exciting
than today

Evening stars out
I gotta go to sleep so I can do
All the same things
At the same time
Still every night I dream that life might still go my way

But then each morning in my shit car by the benzes on the highway
It feels like dreams are getting further everyday

i always thought i'd end up somewhere more exciting
somewhere better than just working to get paid
i always thought i'd end up somewhere more exciting
than today

I wanna keep dreaming
I wanna keep trying
But it gets harder every day
With my disappointments chasing me
Will I just keep running
The same old circles round my life
Will I ever get the chance to live the way I always dream to live

i always thought i'd end up somewhere more exciting
somewhere better than just working to get paid
i always thought i'd end up somewhere more exciting
than today
thought that I would find by now somewhere more exciting
than today

I was feeling miserable too quickly every day
Trying to get happy looking for the way
Tear storms and emotions - when I should have felt just fine
I almost fell a vicim to my mind

but dark clouds from yesterday
turned beautiful
as they passed and gone
dark clouds from yesterday
they used to hang above me
till you came and you loved me
and you opened up the sky
and you opened up the sky

So I took all the injuries and put them in the past
Turning them to memories I hope would never last
No more feeling sorry - no more staying in
You made me feel like I can win

dark clouds from yesterday
turned beautiful
as they past and gone
dark clouds from yesterday
they used to hang above me
till you came and you loved me
and you opened up the sky
you opened up the sky

You brought down my defenses
And you reminded me to smile
You took away the faces
That I imagined were against me all the time

dark clouds from yesterday
turned beautiful
as they passed and gone
dark clouds from yesterday
they used to hang above me
till you came and you loved me
dark clouds from yesterday
turned beautiful
as they passed and gone
when you opened up the sky
you opened up the sky

I know you wanna love me
I know you wanna care about me
I try to feel the same
But even though we moved in together
I still don't know for sure if whether
We should let each other go or keep on trying

Sometimes I say I love you
But I wanna scream I don't
Other days I mean it
But usually I won't
It's getting worse and worse
And I'm getting sick of cursing at the walls
Whenever it's your fault

Lately you're driving me crazy
You're making me feel like maybe
Maybe we should go our separate ways
But after you're driving me crazy
You're making me feel like maybe
It might get better any day

so why does all my good advice go to other people
why is it i can't decide when it comes down to myself
i'm way too scared to leave you
i'm way too scared to stay
i can't make up my own mind so please just make it up for
me and leave me

leave me, leave me, leave me alone - no no, don't you go
leave me, leave me, leave me alone - no no, don't you go
leave me, leave me, leave me alone - no no, don't you
leave me

I just got on the highway and we're already on the phone
Why is it I can't be more than forty steps from home
Before you start just calling me
Before you start not trusting me at all
Checking what I'm doing wrong

Lately you're driving me crazy
You're making me feel like maybe
Maybe we should go our separate ways
But after you're driving me crazy
You're making me feel like maybe
It could get better any day

so why does all my good advice go to other people
why is it i can't decide when it comes down to myself
i'm way too scared to leave you
i'm way too scared to stay
i can't make up my own mind so please just make it up
for me and

leave me, leave me, leave me alone - no no, don't you go
leave me, leave me, leave me alone - no no, don't you go
leave me, leave me, leave me alone - no no, don't you
leave me

I can't decide which way I wanna go
Should I run or should I stay
Could I make you change your ways
But the first move won't be mine
So please make up your mind
And leave me alone

She orders us Martinis
Like her friends say she should do
And she swears it's great to see me
Though I'm barely in her view
She's been staring out the window
Cause she can't ignore the people
That are walking on the sidewalk
On their cell phones in their new clothes
And she can't resist to see how she compares

So before I start to notice
How vintage her new purse is
I got to get myself away
From this self-consuming crowd

i'm gonna get in that car and turn the key
and drive so far till i can't see
the tunnel or the g.w.b.
i'm leaving it all behind
i'm gonna get in that car and turn the key
i love new york but i won't be
just another superficial white boy walking ad

so i'm going down south
to nashville tennessee
i'm going down south
to nashville tennessee

He buys expensive sweaters
With a logo on the side
So all his friends can ask themselves
Is he worth more than I am

But the sweaters and the bags won't help
The way you feel about yourself
They only make you free fall
Trying to be like other people
But all you get is more useless shit to wear

And there's no way that you'd make me
Insecure of who I can be
Oh ain't no way I'm gonna change
Just to fit a town

i'm gonna get in that car and turn the key
and drive so far till i cant see
the tunnel or the g.w.b.
i'm leaving it all behind
i'm gonna get in that car and turn the key
i love new york but i wont be
just another superficial white boy walking ad

i'm going down south
to nashville tennessee
i'm going down south
to nashville tennessee

Put the top down so the wind runs through my hair
Cruise control my way down 81
It's only 14 hours and baby I ain't scared
I can't wait to get there
Nashville here I come

i'm gonna get in that car and turn the key
and drive so far till i cant see
the tunnel or the g.w.b.
i'm leaving it all behind
i'm gonna get in that car and turn the key
i love new york but i wont be
just another superficial white boy walking ad

So I'm leaving New York City
Leaving New York City behind

i'm gonna get in that car and turn the key
i love new york but i wont be
just another superficial white boy walking ad
i'm going down south
to nashville tennessee
i'm going down south
to nashville
south to nashville tennessee
i'm going down south
to nashville

It's way too late
And I need to be up early
I should be sleeping
But I can't stop thinking of you

I'm so alone
And so upset
I never felt like this before
And there's only me to blame

Your sky blue eyes cried more than twice
I thought I wouldn't care
But I'd give it all to get us back
To chess and ginger ale

what a fool i am

The times are gone
And our lives are new and different
It feels so wrong
I never thought that I'd still miss you

I close my eyes and I see your face
Your silky thighs are gone for good

Your sky blue eyes cried more than twice
I thought I wouldn't care
But I'd give it all to get us back
To chess and ginger ale

what a fool i am
such a fool
i'm sorry that i hurt you
i'm sorry baby
i'm such a fool

oh what a fool i am
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
i'm so so sorry
how could i be such a fool

come back to me
come back to me
how could i be such a fool
come back to me
come back to me
i'm sorry so sorry

i drink my sorrows into the bottle trying to drown them away
it'll work for tonight but I'll see them tomorrow anyway

From the hour of his birth
I swore that I would never leave him
Breakfast in the morning
Bedtime stories in the evening
But the judge renounced my oath
And said that I can only see him
From 3 to 5 chaperoned
And only on the weekend

How can I live this way
Dealing with all the pain
It's like they took my life away

so i drink my sorrows into the bottle
trying to drown them away
it'll work for tonight
but i'll see them tomorrow anyway

I thought that he'd be happy
When I told him I was carrying
A little you inside of me
But he said that we ain't ready
We're way too young right now
But we can try it in the future
And then he left me stranded at the clinic
Feeling like a murderer

How can I live this way
Dealing with all the pain
It's like they took my life away

so i drink my sorrows into the bottle
trying to drown them away
it works for tonight
but i'll see them tomorrow anyway

You know I'll see them anyway
I thought I'd be better by now
Anyway
I thought I'd get stronger with time
But the time just keeps running
Slipping away
And it doesn't bring any good
I keep reaching
But there's no one there
No one to to catch me
Or just to listen
To all that I'm going through

so i drink my sorrows into the bottle
trying to drown them away
it'll work for tonight
but i'll see them tomorrow anyway

so i drink my sorrows into the bottle
trying to drown them away
it'll work for tonight
but i'll see them tomorrow anyway
anyway

I just wanna stay in bed today
I don't wanna use my eyes
Maybe just for playing video games
Or watching channel five

Cause every single morning
I've been jumping out of bed
Rushing to find my shoes
And jumpstarting my head

today i'm hiding in the blankets
today i won't pick up the phone
today is not for anybody else
it's just for me to spend a day alone

It feels like I'm always running
To get from place to place
So I need to stop here now
And catch my breath

I need to get lost in my thoughts
So I can find a way to rest
I need to get lost in myself
Before there's none of me left

so today i'm hiding in the blankets
today i won't pick up the phone
today is not for anybody else
it's just for me to spend a day alone
just for me to spend a day alone

The telephone is ringing
Who could it be
It's way too early
To be looking for me
I don't feel like facing
Another uphill day
Don't wanna think about
The roles I have to play

today i'm hiding in the blankets
today i won't pick up the phone
today is not for anybody else
it's just for me to spend a day alone
just for me

Just another weekend
I woke up but Samantha wasn't there
Just another tear drop
That made me feel she's having an affair

All I wanted was somehow
To keep her home
All I needed was someone
To never feel this alone

baby baby tell me that i'm still the only one
it's getting hard to keep believing when you keep running out
feels like i'm always waiting
darling my heart is aching
cause i know i better leave before you do me any harm
samantha i'm so scared you'll break my heart

I miss the way we kissed and how I ran my fingers slowly
Through your long brown straightened hair
I wish your parents taught you how some things we should hold onto
Instead of all those clothes you wear

All I wanted was somehow
A new born smile
All I needed was someone
To have the pain forgotten for a while

baby baby tell me that i'm still the only one
it's getting hard to keep believing when you keep running out
feels like i'm always waiting
darling my heart is aching
cause i know i better leave before you do me any harm
samantha i'm so scared you'll break my heart

I'm so scared to let you know all the things that I've been thinking
I'm so scared to let you go and do the things that I've been meaning to hold onto for a while
I'm so scared to face your lies
So let me hear them one more time

baby baby tell me that i'm still the only one
it's getting hard to keep believing when you keep running out
feels like i'm always waiting
darling my heart is aching
cause i know that i better leave before you do me any harm
samantha i'm so scared you'll break my heart
samantha i'm so scared you'll break my heart

You hurt me but I thought I won't remember
The pain that I'm still trying to forget
We should have separated that November
But I was so afraid that I'd regret it

I guess I should have known we'd never love the same
But it felt so good to have you stay around
Now each time you tell me to be confident
My flashbacks leave you buried in the ground

imaginary things about you drive me mad
every night i'm here without you scares me half to death
with how you might burn me again
while you're not by my side

The nightly arguments are getting bitter
And worse as we start digging at the past
The love inside our eyes is getting thinner
Knowing that the guilt is gonna last

Maybe it's my fault for never letting go
Hanging on to love beyond repair
But living life together is impossible
When the trust we used to have just isn't there

imaginary things about you drive me mad
but every time i should be running i crawl right back instead
imaginary things about you drive me mad
and every night i'm here without you scares me half to death
with how you might burn me again
while you're not by my side

When I'm not around
When you can't be found
I worry

imaginary things about you drive me mad
but every time i should be running i crawl right back instead
imaginary things about you drive me mad
and every night i'm here without you scares me half to death
with how you might burn me again
with how you might burn me again

imaginary things about you drive me mad
but every night i'm here without you scares me half to death
with how you might burn me again
while you're not by my side
