Estes Park 03:49
This is it This is love for sure You just don’t say those things when you’re so secure This is it It is you How can it be that the things you said were not true? Estes Park in ‘93 I saw your deep brown eyes under the willow tree And I calmed my nerve with the cool ice air And I woke up at eight to brush my long blonde hair I see your face And I see you stare at the other girls And I know it’s fair But you took my hand in the concert hall And my world turned and you said, “I swear I’ll call” This is it This is love for sure You just don’t say those things when you’re so secure This is it It is you How could it be that the things you said were not true? Back at home in my bed so tight We talked on the phone in the dead of night But you were miles past in your province far And we whispered words and wished on stars You sent a tape, “This is how I sing” You said, “If I knew you then, it be in a different key” So I closed my eyes and said my prayers That you were real and you were fair This is it This is love for sure You just don’t say those things when you’re so secure This is it It is you How could it be that the things you said were not true? I caught you in lies; I caught you in lies And I tore the songs that didn’t belong to you And I cut my hair, one last strand will do And I saw through all that you said, you said, you said, This is it This is love for sure You just don’t say those things when you’re so secure This is it It is you How could it be that the things you said were not true? Were not true Things you said were not true? Things you said were not Things you said were not true?

Heel Dance 04:12
I don’t know how to refrain Hold me back till I am sane Maybe I’m just forced to fight Hold me down Take all my rights I don’t know how to get us back I don’t know how to make sense of this I wonder how it all plays out for him I count the days for him to see All in this world that he can be Maybe it’s me who sees the light Rather get burned by something bright I don’t know how to get us back I don’t know how to make sense of this I wonder how it all plays out for him I don’t think I could recognize I don’t think you’re the man I miss I wonder how it all plays out for him For him I find a way and crawl to bed Tired of thoughts running in my head Maybe I’m just forced to fight Hike up my skirt And lose my tights I don’t know how to get us back I don’t know how to make sense of this I wonder how it all plays out for him I don’t think I could recognize I don’t think you’re the man I miss I wonder how it all plays out for him For him I think that you want the best Not for yourself but all the rest What about you and what about me Didn’t you know my heart still beats For you For him For him For him

I take myself out on you I take myself out on you Cause you’re to blame I can’t do nothing right (I can’t do nothing right) I can’t do nothing right I separate from light Are you the one that I want? Are you the one that I need? Are you the one that I feel like having? Are you the one I should see? I take myself out on you Cause you’re to blame I take myself out on you Cause you’re to blame You took the better years from me And now you’d love to set me free A conversation I would love to sort it out Maybe the tears I cry will make you stay And nothing’s what it seems And you don’t even know me My heart just breaks My tears fall down to the floor You take up all the room you need You know that nothing’s what it seems A conversation I would to sort it out Maybe the tears I cry will make you stay And nothing’s what it seems And you don’t even know me My heart just breaks My tears fall down to the floor And nothing’s what it seems And you don’t even know me My heart just breaks My tears fall down to the floor And nothing’s what it seems (I start to hold my breath) And you don’t even know me (But then you take my hand) My heart just breaks (Watch you leave) My tears fall down to the floor

Look at me, I banished you From my thoughts, you stole a few Take some space inside my mind Never won my race with time I fold my wings and start to run Replacing the stars with the sun The things I’ve done Thought some space could unify Toss my fears into the sky Gave it all, and gave it then Gave my heart so it could mend I fold my wings and start to run Replacing the stars with the sun The things I’ve done The things I’ve done Camouflage your iron door Thought we could be something more Pack my bags and face the tide Thought that you would stand to fight I fold my wings and start to run Replacing the stars with the sun The things I’ve done The things I’ve done The things I’ve done The things I’ve done I know you’re scared that we’re loosing What god could keep on believing? I look into whatcha doing No mind to what you are choosing I know that we are all the same Our tears fall onto our face For the things we’ve done For the things we’ve done For the things we’ve done For the things we’ve done

I got bad news today I’ve got enough up on my wrong side I slapped my face today Cause, it’s all just black and white But the longer that I stay The more I seem to change My walls are falling now I can’t take it anymore I heard your words today Did you think I’d be okay then? I bought my life today Cause, I sold off all your lies Cause the more Im finding out My world just fills with doubt My world is falling now I can’t take it anymore I thought I knew you so well I thought you never could hide from me And I Thought you never could lie to me I think I’ve heard enough. I think I’ve heard enough. I think I’ve heard enough. I can’t take it anymore

You’re back again Maybe I can find some redemption for you But you’ll take instead Maybe suicide will justify your needs Cause it’s yours for the taking You love pain so you’re aching But who Said you could steal my birds away Let them loose from this cage Cage But you’ll laugh instead Well maybe you could find something funny for me But you’ll break those rules Cause it feels so good to go all the way Cause it’s yours for the taking You love pain so you’re aching But who Said you could steal my birds away Let them loose from this cage Cage You’re so full of lies So you take the time To destroy everything good that’s left Take me instead Cause it’s yours for the taking You love pain so you’re aching But who Said you could steal my birds away Let them loose from this cage Cage You’re so full of lies So you take the time To destroy everything good that’s left Take me instead

Sybil Vane 02:42
What can I do to make you stay? What can I do to make this go away? This isn’t right Can’t you see? I will do anything, anything, anything To keep you loving me What can I do to make this heal? What can I do to make this disappear? This isn’t right oh, can’t you see? I will do anything, anything, anything To keep you loving me What can I do to make this change? What can I do to make you stay? This isn’t right, oh can’t you see? I will do anything, anything, anything To keep you loving me

So you, lost yourself on your way You thought it might be okay for you So you, your running full speed ahead You take up your line instead So you, feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all Time, she’s got a funny way Of slapping me in the face for you But I’m liking the way I feel Swallowing every pill So I feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all So you, you put it all on yourself You’re numbing your way to help the pain But you, you’re cutting to deep inside And that’s not the way to fight So you, feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all Can you keep holding my hand? Cause I like to pretend That love just doesn’t let go I feel nothing at all So you, your running full speed ahead You take up your line instead For you, And words, they have a funny way of stripping the walls to frames For you, So I’m, crossing the white thin line I’m leaving it all behind So I feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all

So Easy 02:57
You said you’d change the world And I said, I think you could You said it’s time to end And I said, time out is good So easy to let down What you’re living for So easy to forget That nothing’s for sure So easy to pack up and move to L.A. But you make me Want to stay To make this work you’ll know where I’ll be Right by your side And I take this into myself and I see There’s no room for pride So easy to let down What you’re living for So easy to forget That nothing’s for sure So easy to pack up and move to L.A. But you make me Want to stay So easy to let down What you’re living for So easy to forget That nothing’s for sure So easy to pack up and move to L.A. But you make me Want to stay

Monsters 03:39
I can be many things I see them in my dreams A dream I just can’t ignore You know how much I need Oh monsters They’re only in my dreams Oh monsters I know you are for me I would do anything So you know I’m worth your time I can do many things Convince you you’re mine Oh monsters They’re only in my dreams Oh monsters I know you left for me I have done many things So you know how much I care I won’t give up right now My begging keeps you there I would do anything I’ll fall in love with fear Won’t you leave a Monster I’d like one to be near Oh Monsters You left them for me Oh Monsters They’re only in my dreams
