And I'll tell you how I feel inside
FUCK YOU- it's for you!"

"Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know.
And lately there is nothing that I can do
to make you do.
Momma tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought to stick to another man
a man who surely deserves me,
but I think you do."
-Lovefool

"Lately I have desperately pondered.
Spent my nights awake and I wondered,
what I could have done in another way, to make you stay.
Reason will not lead to solution.
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care as long as you don't go.
So, I cry, I pray, and I beg.
Love me, Love me, say that you love me.
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me.
Love me, love me, pretend that you love me.
Leave me, leave me, just say that you need me."
-Lovefool

"When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under a glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hand
And watch you rise."

"I wanna be your babydoll.
Wrap me up nice and tight.
Love me all through the night.
Come lay me down
Enfold me in your arms
Cover me with velvet kisses
Rock me on and on
And whisper softly to me,
You wanna be my babydoll."

"Why take when you could be giving
why watch as the world goes by

why walk when you can fly."

“What have I left to prove?
I speak all the words you choose.”

"And I walk up on high
and I step to the edge
to see my world below
And I laugh at myself
while the tears roll down
cause it's the world I know
It's the world I know."

that the ones we hurt are you and me?"

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I take a look at my life, and realize there's nothing left.
'Cause I've been laughin' and blastin' so long that,
even my momma thinks that my mind is gone.
And I ain't never shot a man that didn't deserve it,
you be treated like a punk, you know it's unheard of..."

"Goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin.
They say I need to learn, but nobody's here to teach me.

that's how I know my life is outta luck fool."

And in between the moon and you,

This life has its victories

"No sense wasting the time you got,
you got to walk down every road.
No sense pretending that you're what you're not,
when you got to shoulder every load.

You said never to grow old
but you forgot to tell me how.
You said never to grow old
and then sank your teeth into those final feet."
