In fairness I was an easy sell,
Though I'm embarrassed, to admit it to myself.
and the worst part is you know it all to well, hey.
So don't take advantage of my transparent self, no.
Ohh, but I think you would know what I need.
Impossible as it may seem, I think its easy to see.

(Chorus)
I am awake its getting late,
I'm in no state to be alone now, yeah I'm alone now.
and Come like the fire in my room,
I think I'm losing all control now,
I don't even know how.
But, I'm in your riptide,
and now I'm inside out. Oh, Ohh.

Now I'm in a corner of a street cafe.
and my heart is warmer since
I heard from you today. Ohhh, Ohh.
Like a shallow creek, I am gleamin',
No chance of keeping any secrets.
and I'd like to know security, yeahh.

(Chorus)
I am awake its getting late,
I'm in no state to be alone now, yeah I'm alone now.
and Come like the fire in my room,
I think I'm losing all control now,
I don't even know how.
But, I'm in your riptide,
and now I'm inside out. Oh, Ohh.

I tried to hide it. I can't deny it
Now I'm inside out.
Say you love me, yes. All or nothing oh.
Now I'm inside out

(Chorus)
I am awake its getting late,
I'm in no state to be alone now, yeah I'm alone now.
and Come like the fire in my room,
I think I'm losing all control now,
I don't even know how.
No, no.
I am awake its getting late,
I'm no state to be alone now, yeah I'm alone now.
Come like the fire in my room,
I think I'm losing all control now,
I don't even know how.
But, I'm in your riptide,
and now I'm inside out.

So, you see
You've got me back again for more
And it seems
Your song is in my head
This is war
Mystery; how I could feel you breathe me

I was sure you would keep
Every promise; you would keep
Every word

Well,
I try to put your stories in line
But nothing adds up right

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren't lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
I'm getting out tonight
And you're not invited

Its a shame
That you left me hanging like you did
It was brave
But it was much more foolish
Don't you think?
Cause you know I wont be satisfied
Until you realize

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren't lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
Im getting out tonight
And you're not invited

These things are oh, all so typical
These things are unforgivable
I'm gone and you're invisible now
Don't let me catch you followin
Don't ask, cause I'm not offering
You've caused enough of my suffering, oh

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren't lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
I'm getting out tonight

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you weren't lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
I'm getting out tonight
And you're not invited

put me up on a pedestal
I've got nowhere to go but down
you expect the impossible
and it's too much to carry around

well you tell me i'm beautiful
it feels empty and I don't know why
but it seems that you're searching me
for something you're not gonna find

i'm not your anchor
so don't hold on
i'm not the answer
you've got me wrong
i'm not your savior
save your energy
to fi nd out who you are
who you are without me

wide awake lying next to you
being careful to get the words right
see it hurts me to tell you this
but it kills me to keep it inside

and I'm in love with the present tense
making plans is overrated to me
and I don't speak in guarantees
or at least not the kind that you need

chorus

well I still believe in
happy endings
but this just isn't
where I wanna spend mine
I'll be leaving
now I've said it

chorus

i'm not a mirror
look inside yourself
i'm not a hero
you know to well
i'm not your savior
save your energy
to fi nd out who you are
who you are without me

I've said it once and I'll say it again.
I've got something hanging over my head.
I was laying on your shoulder
Perfectly content.
Until you told me all over again.

I ain't got no sob story to write.
But just like everyone else I'm living this life.
And you don't need to win me over.
And there ain't no other side.
To shelter me from I belong where I decide.
But you say...

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh oh oh.

Well I suppose you think I'm so flattered to hear
That I'm the whisper conscience in your ear, yeah,
and that's exactly the reason that I'll never fit in here
Well nothing's ever that black and white, my dear.
Cuz you say...

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh oh oh.

I'm not your angel darling.
I'm not your angel darling.
I am never gonna be.
I'm not your angel darling.
I'm not your angel darling.
I am never gonna be.

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh oh oh.

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh oh oh.

I'm going home
Downhearted and hoping
I'm close to some new beginning
I know
There's a reason for everything
That comes and goes

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
I may be weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing
In clouds with that sweet silver lining

Most days
I try my best to put on a brave face
But inside
My bones are cold and my heart breaks
But all the while
Something is keeping me safe
And alive

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
I may be weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing
In clouds with that sweet silver lining

I wont give up like this
I will be given strength
And now that I've found it
Nothing can take that away

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
I may be weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
I may be weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing
In clouds with that sweet silver lining

a little tough love
never hurt nobody
never saw this coming,
this side of me
I know where you're goin'
with your sugar-laced talkin'
and it wasn't too hard to see

you think you got me
right where you want me
you think you got the whole story
I think that a proper fair warning
might serve you well
so i'm here to tell you

it's not too late
to do yourself a favor
and walk away
though I know that's never been your nature
by the way
you've put yourself in danger cause you're
playing with my heart
playing with my heart
you're playing with my heart

every good girl's got a real good reason
to believe in breaking
all the rules sometimes
and I'm that girl baby you're that reason
and your scheming
has caused me to cross the line

you lie but i'm a pretty good liar
you chose a game I can play better
you're bright, oh but baby i'm clever
so you might as well
let me tell you

chorus

for heavens sake what are you thinking baby?
you won't catch what you've been chasing
trust me when I say I can keep you running
but i'm not coming oh I won't come around
chorus

Baby
What are you doing today
what are you doing later
I don't know my way through a maze of gray skyscrapers
But I'm willing to learn

If you want me to I'll stay just where I am
But I promise just to follow when I land
And you can take my word for that

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

Daises
Once upon an old daydream, that's what you gave me
Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th street, on a rainy afternoon
(Well) I could start discovering your world
And I would make a damn good city girl
Things would start to bloom, I'm sure

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

I know you want me to see don't lie to me
Why you gotta go be so shy to me?
I ain't buying the false anxiety let your fortress fall
What's it gonna take to get you there?
If fear was money you'd be a millionaire
Or all alone in a leather swivel chair counting stacks of good
Oh oh
You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around ohhh

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.
Oh ohh ohh oh

how many times have you used that line?
did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?

is ‘I love you baby' second nature by now?
cause it sounds awful rehearsed
when the words leave your mouth

I don't know why but it seems
that I'm not the first to have heard this speech
is this a routine you just repeat?
cause I don't mean to presume
that you don't love me like you say you do but
you're gonna have to prove that you're true
and you're not just talkin' smooth

your performance deserves an academy award
and it's a double edged sword cause I sure feel adored

but just between us i'd rather see you slip up
don't you know that it's those
less than perfect words I can't get enough of

maybe I'm outta my head
but i'm telling you baby that I've been misled
so if the record's off well could you get it set?
I don't mean to presume
that you don't love me like you say you do but
you're gonna have to prove that you're true
and you're not just talkin' smooth

well you've proven your charm is a crime
oh and ooooh why don't you see
the harm in relying on this disguise
you're losing me with every little wink of the eye

the end of my rope is slipping out of my hold
so if you're clever you'd better do some damage control

I don't know why but it seems
you've made a game of making a fool outta me
and I did not sign up to be
your tongue-in-cheek, hey oh yeah
I don't mean to presume
that you don't love me like you say you do but
you're gonna have to prove that you're true
and you're not just talkin' smooth
oh can you prove you're not just talkin' smooth

This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle
I've seen High, I've seen low

So loud, the voices over my doubts
Telling me to give up
To pack up, leave town

Even so I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me

Can you lift me up?
Turn the ashes into flames
And I have overcome
More than words can ever say

I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day had just begun

Somewhere, everybody starts there
I'm counting on a small prayer
Lost in a nightmare

But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear
The struggle through the long years
It's hard for me to outrun my fears

But everything that's worth having
Comes with trials worth withstanding

Can you lift me up?
And turn the ashes into flames
I have overcome
More than words will ever say

And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Oh lift me up, oh lift me up
Oh lift me up, oh lift me up

Down and out is overrated
And I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough, no
I would rather rise above,oh ,oh ,oh

Can you lift me up?
Turn the ashes into flames
And I have overcome
More than words can ever say

I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day had just begun
Oh, just begun

Lift me up, lift me up, yeah
Lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up

been here before
revolving door
we're caught up and I don't know what for
anymore

we had the best
and nothing less
but the second we fell out of step
you up and left

this is so you this is what you do
you'd rather make do than make a move
what'll it take now how do I make
this matter enough to you?

say you're a mess
say it's a shame
why can't you at least pretend?
say I should leave
you're over me
say something, say anything
anything
say anything
please

what happened to
the plans we made
and that contagious smile upon your face?
it's all begun to fade

you used to be
so careful with me
making sure that we would always be
each other's missing piece

well we can still save
these tattered pages
what do you say we
start over baby?

this is our chance
and you're all I have
don't let me slip through your hands

chorus

you know I miss you, you know I wish you
missed me too, baby tell me you do

chorus

the city sleeps
so silently
wish I could say the same for me
but I've got this dead ended street
to keep searching

for a tunnel underneath the bitter truth
or a bridge invisible I won't fall through

and I don't know how much I can keep
letting you unravel me
cause the more you learn the more we share
we were worlds apart and you see
it was so much easier to be
cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair

I never meant
most of those pretty words I said
but I wanted you to think I did
cause telling you all this makes no difference
it's useless

cause those who get to know our hearts the most
they always seem to be the ones we'll never hold

chorus

can't you see it's destroying me?
I can't stand the closeness
but don't you dare go avoiding me
it kills me and yet it keeps me going

chorus

so the story goes on down
the less traveled road
It's a variation on
the one I was told
and although it's not the same
it's awful close, yeah

in an ordinary fairy tale land
there's a promise of a perfect happy end
and I imagine having just short of that
is better than nothing

so you'll be mine
forever and almost always
and I'll be fine
just love me when you can
and I'll wait patiently
I'll wake up every day
just hoping that you still care

in the corner of my mind I know too well
oh that surely even I deserve the best
but instead of leaving
I just put the issue to bed
and outta my head

oh and just when I believe
you've changed for good
well you go and prove me wrong
just like I knew you would

when I run out of second chances
you give me that look
and you're off the hook

because you're mine
forever and almost always
and I'm fine
just love me when you can
and I'll wait patiently
I'll wake up every day
just hoping that you still care

oh, what am I still doing here?
oh, it's all becoming so clear

you'll be mine
forever and almost always
it ain't right to just love me when you can
oh I won't wait patiently
or wake up everyday
just hoping that you'll still care

forever and almost always
no it ain't right
to just love me when you can, baby
ain't gonna wait patiently
I won't wake up everyday
just hoping that you still care

a little tough love
never hurt nobody
never saw this coming,
this side of me
I know where you're goin'
with your sugar-laced talkin'
and it wasn't too hard to see

you think you got me
right where you want me
you think you got the whole story

chorus

for heavens sake what are you thinking baby?
you won't catch what you've been chasing
trust me when I say I can keep you running
but i'm not coming oh I won't come around
chorus

pretty girls, they have it easy
living the strawberry kiwi life, ah

and me, I just fill up on coffee
and let the caffeine do the talking, ah

i'll always miss you and i'll always wish you'd been mine

if i was an English teacher
i probably could get you to dance with me

cause Robert frost is in your wallet
the road less whatever you call it, ah

i'll always miss you and i'll always wish you'd been mine

and love I'm afraid
that after tonight
there won't be a way
to see you
but just for the sake
of our storyline
I'll wait a day to break
the bad news

so i'll buy myself a cheap apartment
and I'll buy my heart a secret compartment ah, yeah

and when your memory starts to surface
i'll toast to mistakes made on purpose yeah, oh

i'll always miss you and i'll always wish you'd been mine

it takes an idealist to know one
and me and you we've had that going for us, yeah

and we the dreamers chase forever
so at least in that we'll be together oh
i guess
well i'll always miss you and i'll always wish you'd been mine
yeah I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you'd been mine

In fairness I was an easy sell,
Though I'm embarrassed, to admit it to myself.
and the worst part is you know it all to well, hey.
So don't take advantage of my transparent self, no.
