1.Hello It's Me
One more girl on the top of the billboard
One more girl jumping in with the big boys
One more year and i'm still a no one
Waiting for my day in the sun
Chorus:
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?
You filled me with great expectations
Just to hide me in your basement
Did you get from me what you wanted...huh?
Did you lose my telephone number?
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?
Just ask yourself, "am i neglecting someone?"
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?
2.Any Way
You can take me away from my sorrow
But you can't take away my scars
I stand in the middle of the highway
Playing chicken with the cars
It's not that i'm destructive i
Just want to feel your pain
Chorus:
If there was any way i could have known
I would trip and fall away from you
If there was anything i could have done
To stay in love with you - with you
I wish i could say to you what you are to me
But i know it would make you sad
You are too good to be my lover
But you've been the greatest dad
I ever had
You made my life so lovely i
Just had to mess it up
If there was any way i could have known
I would always need to be alone
If there was anything i could have done
To stay in love with you
With you
If i knew i'd do it twice just to make sure that
I did it right
If there was any way i could have known
I would always need to be alone
If there was anything i could have done
To stay in love with you
With you
3.Never Say Never
"don't fly into the sun
- your wings will melt and you'll come down"
I say you never know until you try
Away i go to the sun
I'm waving to the ground
I'll see you later
Chorus:
I will go - i will try
Anything one time and i
Never say never - why should i?
I will try - and i will go
Anywhere - never say
Never say never ask why
Who knows tomorrow may never come
I can't conceive the day
I fear the unknown - not me
I dream
Of open windows
And if you never fly your wings are useless
Chorus:
I will go - i will try
Anything one time and i
Never say never - why should i?
I will try - and i will go
Anywhere - never say
Never say never ask why
4.The Life
I listened to you from your pedestal
- telling us all how your world was full of shit
Why couldn't you bow and say "thank you all"
To everyone who made you what you are
It sent my heart, hurt, crashing down
'cause these are my dreams you're bashing
Chorus:
You're living the life
Can't you see you are living the life?
You're living the life that i only dream
The kingdom you own - does it drag you down?
I'll gladly relieve you of your big shiny crown
You say it's so frustrating now
I can't believe you're faking
Living the life
Seems to me you are living the life
You're living a wonderful, wonderful life...
Tell me would you really rather be a
Nobody nobody knows?
Oh no?
Living the life
Seems to me you are living the life
You're living a wonderful, wonderful life...
'cause this is the way that i fill my heart
5.True North
If this ever gets to you
Will you know it's from me?
Or would you think it was a joke
Throw it back to the sea
Chorus:
Or do you, do you know
Everything i'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north
If this ever gets to you
Will you please forgive me
I was the one who let you down
It's too late for "sorry"
Or do you, do you know
Everything i'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north
If i told you then
- i'd made it clear
Would you still be here?
Or do you, do you know
Everything i'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north
6.Miseryland
I learned to fly
So you
You ran to find the gun
To shoot me down
Before
I got too high
'cause you could not stand
To stand alone in the long line
For your wild ride - it requires
Two lost souls per seat
At least five foot five
Chorus:
,and i don't wanna' go
For a ride
Down to miseryland
Trapped with you
By my side
Down in miseryland
Up in the air you wave
Two tickets for my
Utter amusement
You possess
An express pass to unhappiness
That makes you feel alive?
And i don't have a place any more
Down in miseryland
Trapped with you forever more
Is not what i have planned
So take a seat
By yourself
And wait to fall a hundred stories
Better hold on tight
Hands in--side the ride
And don't for get to breathe
-and i don't wanna' go
For a ride
Down to miseryland
Trapped with you
By my side
Down in misery
Have a place any more
Down in misery
Down in miseryland
I learned to fly
But you are still shooting the sky
Still shooting
7.Had To
Can you tell me
Why have i come?
Why am i in chicago?
I just wanted to kiss the bride,
I didn't think i would be seeing you
Chorus:
And i had to laugh
You were shaking my hand
As if we'd never met and i
Had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing i was forgettable
Did it ever hit you to call - no
Phones in your chicago?
There's nothing that i need to convey, just
Maybe a small "hello" from la
And i had to laugh
You were searching your head
For the right thing to say and i
Had to cry
'cause the tears were too wet
And my eyes were too full
Knowing i was forgettable
I can recall every face that i have ever kissed
How did i fall on your "miss miscellaneous" list?
And i had to cry
There was no other way to express all my joy,
And i
Had to laugh
When i thought of my fate
It was all i could do
Knowing i had escaped
From you
8.I Will Love You
'til my body is dust
'til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you
'til the sun starts to cry
And the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you
Chorus:
But i need to know - will you stay for all
Time...forever and a day
Then i'll give my heart 'til the end of all
Time...forever and a day
Chorus
'til the storms fill my eyes
And we touch the last time
I will love you, love you...
9.Breakable
Do you always have to tell him everything
On your mind?
You know that too much honesty can be
So unkind
Chorus:
And every time you throw him to the floor
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
You always try to find what's holding him
Away from you
But do you ever see your anger standing there
Right between you?
And every time you throw him to the wall
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
Tell the world that he's breaking your heart
Go tell the world nothing's ever your fault
Go tell them all
And every time you throw him to the floor
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
And every time you push him to the wall
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
10.Human
You came up, once again
Seems you're the topic of
Every single conversation
I was the one, once again
Making apologies, all in your defence
Just give her time.
Chorus:
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life i'm not your
Jesus christ
You show up when you need
Make no apologies
Lay your world upon my shoulders
Hey, what a friend you have in me
You give me all your sin
Take my soul and go
Time after time
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life i'm not your
Jesus christ
Save yourself
Save yourself
Forsake me
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life i'm not your
Jesus christ
11.Simi California
Welcome to simi cal-i-for-ni-a
Welcome to the home of the biggest fake
I didn't tell him what i meant to say
There will be time for the
Truth another day
Chorus:
In simi california
A liar sleeps tonight
In simi i can't see how i can sleep
Inside a creep like me
Honesty somehow was replaced with fear
Easier just to tell him
What he wants to hear
In simi california
A liar sleeps tonight
In simi i can't see how i can sleep
Inside a creep like me
If he could read my mind my love
Is gone
In simi california
A liar sleeps tonight
In simi i can't see how i can sleep inside
California
A liar sleeps tonight
In simi i can't see how i can sleep
Inside a creep like me
12.Mary
I woke up and mary was still gone
Thought if i stopped hurting she would come back
To me
Walk right through the door and say, "ahhh huhhhh!
I was only joking - didn't you look silly crying!"
But i wake up and mary is still gone
I looked at the clock and it was
Still
Lying on the floor exactly where i threw it
Both hands smashed against its silver face
My feeble attempt to stop
Time but time goes on
And i wake up and mary is still gone
Chorus:
Mary was it necessary
To leave before the party
I know it's selfish to say
You always brought the cake now
What will i eat with all these tears?
I looked at the list and saw her name
Kick myself, she never got an invitation
Kid myself, i'm sure somehow she knew
My stupid attempt to find
Some way to move on
But i wake up and mary is still gone
Mary is still gone
13.Six Hundred Sixty-six
Sell my soul - i'll sell my soul i've
Nothing left to lose
Hurt myself - i'll hurt myself cover
My face with tattoos all of
Painted tears - one for each year that
Only could have been
Anything i can do to keep you
Underneath my skin
Chorus:
Over and over i tell myself
If there's no you there's nobody else and i'd
Rather be lonely - i'd rather die
Six hundred sixty-six times
By myself - i'm not myself i can't
Be without you
An empty shell - my former self is out
Looking to find you
Over and over i tell myself
If there's no you there's nobody else and i'd
Rather be lonely - i'd rather die
Six hundred sixty-six times
