Goo Goo Dolls

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screamin'
You're not listening anyway

Ain't that unusual

Could you talk to me

Honestly

Cause I never heard a word you said now

And I ain't just being mean

Cause all we are is what we're told

And most of that's been lies

It's like a made for TV movie

And I just blew my line

Someday you never made it

and maybe it never will

Hey, you never made it

Ain't that unusual

Now I feel unknown

And it's safe that way

Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared now

What's that supposed to mean

I'm burned out on some empty reasons

Another waste of time

There's somethin' that I wish I'd said

But I don't think it'd rhyme

Someday you never made it

and maybe it never will

Hey, you never made it

And ain't that unusual

See I'd love to be you

At least then I'd see you

Sorry I put them words in your mouth

But you wouldn't talk to me

And everyhing, I want haven't got

I'm sick of everything now I'm not

I put my heavy coat on for a while

It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday you never made it

and maybe it never will

Hey, you never made it

Ain't that unusual?

Everytime you point your finger
Three more point right back at you
I'm not sayin' that it's something wrong with life
'Cause that's a sad excuse

And age old game of rat and mouse
Chasin' us from house to house
I'm not sayin' that there's something wrong with you
It's wrong with me as well

Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Was the poison in our love there all along
Amigone

Heavenly intoxication
Love's been marred by medication
Ain't it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near

Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone

I'm not sayin' that it's something
I'm not gonna play along
I'm not wishin' for a miracle
That miracle's gone wrong
And you're too strong

Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...It's there all along)
Was the poison in our love there all along
Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...It's there all along)
Was the poison in our love there all along
Amigone

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been

You see you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun

You're anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade

You see you'd love to run home, but you know ain't got one
Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You see you'd love to run home, but you know ain't got one
Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
And if you're thinkin' you're a joke do you think that they'll listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Round here

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

Do you listen to yourself
Never live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel
Nothing hurts when no one's real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah she wants to shake with me
She's not looking for the holes in all the lies

I wanna bullet proof your soul
Would you like to lose control
I won't let you fall until you tell me so

What are we? (Whatchya wanna be)
Everything! (That you wanna be)
All I need (Right in front of me)
I've know before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Yeah she wants to tear you down
And she leaves without a sound
It's like fallin' backwards
Into no one's arms

You're a bullet through my soul
And I'll never let you know
I won't let you fall until you let it go

What are we? (Whatchya wanna be)
Everything! (That you wanna be)
All I need (Right in front of me)
I've know before

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name

Would you come my way
Or did you burn out to the end
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name
Should have listened when you called my name
Should have listened when you called my name

Burnin' up

Said you're burnin up inside, no one seems to tell

You're living from a personalized manual from hell

Life seems pretty easy when it's from my easy chair

And you're burnin up inside and no one cares

Said you had enough this time cause time don't treat you well

You always cried coincidence while I drew parallels

Life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair

And you're burnin up inside and you hurt me

Come and take my hand tonight I'll show you where to start

Cause every word that left your lips like a needle through my heart

And life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair

And you're burnin'up inside and you hurt my eyes

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

I wanna kill at the machine
That made you piss away you dreams
Tear down your defenses
Till there's nothing there but me
You're angry when you're beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your Dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you are

Everything you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are
Whatever ever you are

Extra pale
Oh you're frail now
I shouldn't laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free but
I should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you

How's your day
Did it go your way but
You never ask about it
All the things I wish I'd be
I should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your sighs

Extra pale
Oh you're frail now
I couldn't laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free
I should have known that it was

Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your (lies)

Fallin' Down

Do you know, where you want to go

I ain't got time for it now

Do you think, that I'll ever be

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone

And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're making me fall down

I'm fallin' down again

I wish you could fall down

Can you catch me darling

Do you see, what you do to me

You ain't got time for it now

Do you think, that I'll ever be

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone

And if I had my chance I'd go along

You're making me fall down

I'm falling down again

I wish you could fall down

Can you catch me darling

Cause all I ever wanted so far gone

And if I had my chance I'd go along

You're making me fall down

I'm falling down again

I wish you could fall down

Can you catch me darling

Flat top

Flat top intervention

Bringing home the new invention

See it there in pieces on the ground

A television war between the cynics and the saints

Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on

Sleeping on the white house lawn ain't never changed a thing

Look at all the washed out hippie dreams

And it's falling all around us

Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?

Falling all around us

I'll turn my head off for a while

Tabloid generation's lost

Choking on it's fear

Used to be that's all we had to fear

conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak

There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets

A visionary coward says that anger can be power

As long as there's a victim on tv

And it's falling all around us

Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us

Falling all around us

I'll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive

On my TV screen

And assassination plots

Show me what I haven't got

Show me what I love and who I'm supposed to be

Show me everything I need

Show it all to me

And it's falling all around us

Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?

Falling all around us

I'll turn my head off for a while

Gone away
Who knows where you been
You take all your lies
And wish them all away

I somehow doubt
We'll ever be the same
There's too much poison
And confusion on your face

Can you feel it
I didn't mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin'
I think I love you
but I ain't sayin' nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah I can take your lies
Until you fall away

You know I'm lost
Hiding in your bed
No I don't think it's wrong
It's just gone to my head

Can you feel it
I didn't mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin'
I think I love you
but I ain't sayin' nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hey whatchya do to me
Would you come back to me
Yeah I can't do another day
I'm not certain of it anyway
I ain't messin' with another life
Can I get along without you
Tell me lies
That you know I need

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
Hold on dreamaway

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

(break and solo)

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Reach for higher ground
About the way you look
The way you scream out loud

Mine
Just like the last time
It's all the same to me
She said

Let's pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats
Pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats

Cry
Don't cry out loud
You've gotta bear your cross but never dream too loud
And you're tied
Tied to the next time
You realize your crimes

Let's pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats
Pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats

Time stood still Monday mornin' yeah
Showed me what I had to see
It's not the way I thought it should be

You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats pretend
Oh January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats tonight's
Pretend

Naked

Yeah I'm fadin

And I call out

No one hears me

Never been never felt never thought I'd say a word

Weighed

Down

Safe

Now

You're naked inside your fear

You can't take back all those years

The shots in the dark from empty guns

Are never heard by anyone

Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding

in the fallout

Now I'm wasted

They don't need me don't want me don't hear a word I say

Weighed

Down

Safe

Now

You're naked inside your fear

You can't take back all those years

Shots in the dark from empty guns

Are never heard by anyone

Never heard by anyone

Inside your head

No one's there

And I don't think I'll ever be

And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear

You can't take back all those years

The shots in the dark from empty guns

Are never heard by anyone

Name

And even though the moment passed me by

I still can't turn away

Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose

Got tossed along the way

And letters that you never meant to send

Get lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans

That never knew their names

We don't belong to no one

That's a shame

But if you could hide beside me

Maybe for a while

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em your name

Scars are souvenirs you never lose

The past is never far

Did you lose yourself somewhere out there

Did you get to be a star

And don't it make you sad to know that life

Is more than who we are

You grew up way too fast

And now there's nothing to believe

And reruns all become our history

A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em your name

I think about you all the time

But I don't need the same

It's lonely where you are come back down

And I won't tell em your name

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give ya anythin'
To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own?
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah I'm gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Somethin' I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Mmm mmm slide

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May
Do you wanna get married, or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all

(yeah slide)
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete (yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(yeah slide)
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete (yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall

(Oh Oh Oh slide)
Yeah, slide between the sheet of all the beds you never knew
(Yeah slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away...
