ALLEY CAT

You want to stay, I wanted you out
Get out
You're everything that I laugh about
You're your own antitheseis now
I hope that you can make yourself proud
You're not usless when you're used
When your exhausted heart and thighs are being bruised

Wipe your tears away
Tell me what would daddy say
About that slattern little alley cat he raised
Wipe those tears away (Wipe those tears away)
Tell me what would daddy say
About that slattern little alley cat he raised

You know someday, you'll figure it out
This out
You're the type I'm writing about
You want to change but it's too late now
Cause you're engaged to decisions you've made
You're not usless when you're used
When your exhausted heart and thighs are being bruised

Wipe your tears away
Tell me what would daddy say
About that slattern little alley cat he raised
Wipe those tears away (Wipe those tears away)
Tell me what would daddy say
About that slattern little alley cat he raised

Oh, now you can't quite blame yourself but you're
guilty.
You're guilty.
You can't quite blame yourself but you're guilty.
You're not usless when you're used
When your exhausted heart and thighs are being bruised

Wipe the tears away (Wipe the tears away)
Tell me what would daddy say
About that slattern little alley cat he raised

BRILLIANT LIVES

Wait
Stay another day
Can I look in your eyes
Just one, just one more time

Please
Let me touch your hand
See just one more smile
Stay here forever

I promise we'll be alright
I can't stop seeing your eyes
They're waiting everytime
Everytime I close mine

Brilliant lives can't stay away
If you believe in fate
We'll meet again someday

Please
Let me touch your hair
See just one more smile
Stay here forever

I promise we'll be alright
I can't stop seeing your eyes
They're waiting everytime
Everytime I close mine

Brilliant lives can't stay away
If you believe in fate
We'll meet again someday

Brilliant lives can't stay away
If you believe in fate
We'll meet...

BURIED

I wasted so much time
With you, my dear
While you masquerade
And tell yourself ten thousand lies
You're in love with your new guy
Then alright
I'm sure deep down you know
He's second place inside

I can't pretend that I don't miss you
I think I will
Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time

I'm sick of losing games
Cause you make the rules
I'm never more alone than any time I spent with you
Aren't you so pretty?
Pretty, what I think it's time for you to fill that
line

I can't pretend that I don't miss you
I think I will
Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time

You said you changed and never lied
You were out having your good times
I'm glad I shared so few with you
When you wake up and see the light
I hope you swim in tears that you cried
And I'll sink the only boat to save you

Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time
I can't pretend that I don't miss you
I think I will
Take the time to get over it
I think I buried it
And I should have just said goodbye
Cause you're wasting my time

I WISH YOU HELL

You won't tell yourself you messed it up this time
And I know not to ever take the blame again so
This is all your fault now
I tried and tried and tried
You'll never change

I wish you well
Maybe
I wish you hell
So I'll tell you from these lips you can't kiss
Everything you did just felt so wrong
Now I'm alright
And now you'll never once be missed

I'm so fucking bored with all your empty cries
And you're so fucking mad that I won't care again
This is all your fault now
You lie and lie and lie
You'll never change

I wish you well
Maybe
I wish you hell
So I'll tell you from these lips you can't kiss
Everything you did just felt so wrong
Now I'm alright
And now you'll never once be missed

You said what you said
And you did what you did
You won't live it down
Oh no
I'm not dead like you're dead
I won't sin like you sin
I'm everything you're not.

So I'll tell you from these lips you can't kiss
Everything you did just felt so wrong
Now I'm alright
And now you'll never once be missed
No, you'll never once be missed.

I'LL GET THERE

You don't know I think about you
And I don't think that you care
I'm still waiting for you to come down
I'm still waiting for you to come around
Come around

I told her life is just a phase
And I don't think she gets it cause she's walking away
She wants a guy whose got money and fame
I told her that I'd get there if she promised to stay
Someday

I think maybe if I knew you
Your pretty face would lose its charm
I'm done waiting for you to come down
I'm done waiting for you to come around
Come around

I told her life is just a phase
And I don't think she gets it cause she's walking away
She wants a guy whose got money and fame
I told her that I'd get there if she promised to stay

I told her life is just a phase
And I don't think she gets it cause she's walking away
She wants a guy whose got money and fame
I promise that I'll get there if you promised to stay

I told her life is just a phase
And I don't think she gets it cause she's walking away
She wants a guy whose got money and fame
I promise that I'll get there if you promise to stay
I promise that I'll get there if you promise to stay
I promise that I'll get there if you

I'M SO SORRY

I think I've heard this all before
So, I'm just gonna leave
And I'll say goodbye
With my finger high
I still feel like I'm seventeen
If I've got stupid dreams
At least I'm alive

You wanted everything, anything (except for me)
Some unread poetry and feelings
You think your life is great
Cause your mistakes (just disappear)
I'm gonna make sure this one haunts you

I'm so sorry
You don't love me
We never had, never had,
Never had, never had a chance

I can't seeing you around
You always seem to be
With other men
You swore we're friends
I always knew this wouldn't work
Cause like mom said before
I'm too good for you

You wanted everything, anything (except for me)
Some unread poetry and feelings
You think your life is great
Cause your mistakes (just disappear)
I'm gonna make sure this one haunts you

I'm so sorry
You don't love me
We never had, never had,
Never had, never had a chance

And this is what I want from you
Just another chance
And this is what I wish for you
A lifetime of regrets

I'm so sorry
You don't love me
We never had, never had,
Never had, never had a chance

I'm so sorry
You don't love me
We never had, never had,
Never had, never had a chance

And now I'm pushing you away from me
Everything we had before won't mean a thing
And I'll be here thinking of you
And wondering what you're up to and
What's his name?
Where's he from?
Does he know I used to be the one?

And when you're pushing him away from you
And things are through
I'll be right here to laugh at you
I'll tell you that I told you so
You should have loved me years ago
I'll lick your face
And get a taste
Of all the tears you should have cried before
The tears you should have cried before

IS THIS HOW YOU FEEL

I wish I could see your face again
Memories don't last forever

Summer starts toonight
Reminding me of past times
The air is getting clear
The cigarette tastes better
I remember all the times we sat and talked about almost
anything
Times gets counted out as we forget it can defeat
anything

I wish I could see your face again
Memories don't last forever
I wish I could see your face again

I hear you're married now
You won't return my phone calls
I guess the rumor is true
Do you think about me now?
I remember all the times we sat and talked about almost
anything
Time gets counted out as we forget it can defeat
anything

I wish I could see your face again
Memories don't last forever
I wish I could see your face again

Is this how you feel?

I wish I could see your face again
Memories don't last forever
I wish I could see your face again
Memories don't last forever
I wish I could see your face again
Memories don't last forever
I wish I could see your face again

LAST KISS GOODNIGHT

Stare
A million miles from here
It's evident
That I'm too scared
To try and forget us, the past, and move ahead
I'll try again

Scared
Trying hard just to forget
AndI'll placate thought with self-distress
Pleading cases to courts with deafened ears
Over again

Couple stiff drinks, couple beers
And I'll forget you're not here
And oh, clear your taste out
Couple stiff drinks, couple beers
And I'll forget you're not here
And oh, clear your taste out

There
You walked away friom here
Wait just one moment, I swear
I'll make some sense of this tonight
Just one more time
I'll sit alone

Couple stiff drinks, couple beers
And I'll forget you're not here
And oh, clear your taste out
Couple stiff drinks, couple beers
And I'll forget you're not here
And oh, clear your taste out

Honestly
The things I hear are wasted words
Cause I just don't care
You make things unfold
Cause you can't let go
No, you can't let go
I'll take a ride and leave you there
You're out of sight and out of mind, dear
I'll make these memories all fade

Couple stiff drinks, couple beers
And I'll forget you're not here
And oh, clear your taste out
Couple stiff drinks, couple beers
And I'll forget you're not here
And oh, clear your taste out

Say goodbye to all these years
And they'll become all you have left here
I'll be on the road while you're stuck at home
You're stuck at home
I'll take a ride and leave you there
You're out of sight and out of mind, dear
Oh no, this gets old now
I'll just let go, I'll just let go

MISDIRECTION

Feelings unknown
Space smiles wide on your end
I can't feel right
Salt dragging on my insides
Please steal these eyes
No longer watching, say goodbye

I'll stay here alone
This direction is unknown
I'll stay here alone
Misdirection

Stare at the sky
I wonder where your eyes are
I can't feel right
Salt dragging on my insides
Please steal the eyes
No longer watching, say goodnight

I'll stay here alone
This direction is unknown
I'll stay here alone
Misdirection

As we seperate our lives
Symbolic as the sunrise
As it gets consumed by night
It hasn't been the same since missing both eyes

I'll stay here alone
This direction is unknown
I'll stay here alone
Misdirection

WHEN I FIND YOU

It's time to paint this college town
It's Friday night
We'll get all dressed up, ready to go
From bar to bar where
We can meet some
People that we don't know
And let them take us home

While you weren't around
She's left on the couch
With his roommates and no one there to hear her shout
She said -I think it's best if I just left.
But they held her down instead
She said -I think it's best if I just left.
But they held her down instead

She sits inside her room for days
Tells no one else about
That weekend that she spent away
The one that she won't soon forget
Cause being a victim scares her
They'll go free again

While you weren't around
She's left on the couch
With his roommates and no one there to hear her shout
She said -I think it's best if I just left.
But they held her down instead
She said -I think it's best if I just left.
But they held her down instead

While you weren't around
She's left on the couch
With no one there to hear her shout

When I get my hands on you
I'll slit your throat with a dull knife
I'll put my hands on the wound
So you won't die to soon and
I'll put my knee on your chest
And squeeze out your final breath
I'll look deep in your eyes so
You know just who did this to you
I'll hang you in front of my house
So people passing by can
See your corpse and understand that
You got just what you deserve
