Everything (AM Limbo) Lyrics
3 ContributorsDrama Everything LyricsLet me start with "I've let you go"
But you don't get it, though
Politely, I've asked you to leave
But still, you follow
It's hard when you're full of heart
When the house you built just falls apart
Well, keep the paint fresh, keep the outside clean
Make sure the neighbors see you wear that ring
Don't tell them a thing, they don't know you like me
You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
Everybody stop, wait, look, see
You're the girl that could lie to my face
And fabricate a flood to get through to me
I went away and you found a replacement
So call him, don't call me
To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
You drama everything
I heard a good friend once say
"You got one life, live it, 'cause they'll take it away"
From both of us, one day, you know they will
So colour it up, colour it up
Say your last goodbye, I don't give a fuck
Bottoms up, just watch me walk away
I'm here to say that -
I don't need your sorry dreaming
What makes you think you can -
Tell me how I to feel, or how hard I should fall?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now you listen
Oh my, you're not anything I need in my life
No, you're not anything I even want
'Cause they don't know you like me
You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
Everybody stop, wait, look, see
You're the girl that could lie to my face
And fabricate a flood to get through to me
I went away and you found a replacement
So call him, don't call me
To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
You drama everything
Here's what you gotta do:
Hold your head high
Shoot first, man, don't ask why
Yeah, you won't feel the pain at all
Well, I guess I grew this mind
I think for myself and I'm fine
No, I don't need anything from you at all
They don't know you like me
You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
Everybody stop, wait, look, see
You're the girl that could lie to my face
And fabricate a flood to get through to me
I went away and you found a replacement
So call him, don't call me
To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
You drama everything
(Fabricate a flood to get through to me)
(So call him, don't call me)
You drama everything
Drama
So much drama
For the Love Lyrics
4 ContributorsFor the Love Lyrics(Come here... babe, why are you crying?
"Because I want to stay with you"
Your mommy loves you very much)
Communication
I wait to see if we could ever get together and talk like we used to
We get together and we talk
Like we used to, but you don't want to
You want a separation
And now that's strike three
I tried everything, I work so hard for you
To constantly hear how I fail and abandon you
I put my heart in a dream (My heart)
And now that dream, it makes sure the baby
She has food to eat
And your fancy house gets paid for, you hear me?
You never learned one thing
No, you never believed in me
So if you're gonna leave, get out
Just remember this is what I'm all about:
I do it for the love, I do it for the rain
I do it for the passion, I do it for the pain
I do it for the rush, I do it for the doubt
I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad
Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
I do it for the audience who understands the need
Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed
So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down
Just remember that I've told you, it's what I'm all about
(Wait-wait-wait...)
I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again
An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze
(You've gotta be kidding me)
How hard that was because
'Cause your voice so crooked and wrong
You bury your intentions like a motherfucking nuclear bomb (Nuclear bomb!)
I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was born
And I never knew what words to say
That could get us through our first chance at divorce
You promised change and I believed
I walked right back into the same
So if you're gonna leave me, go away
I do it for the love, I do it for the rain
I do it for the passion, I do it for the pain
I do it for the rush, I do it for the doubt
I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad
Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
I do it for the audience who understands the need
Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed
I do it for my brother, I do it for his wife
I do it for my manager, 'cause God, he saved my life
I do it for the confidence, I do it for release
I do it 'cause I'm sick of feeling sadness, full of peace
I do it for the sunshine, for my friends
I did it for you, for you over and over and over again
But you would never understand, so fuck it!
So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down
Just remember that I've told you, it's what I'm all about
(Get out! Go away!)
I do it for the love, I do it for the rain
I do it for the passion, I do it for the pain
I do it for the rush, I do it for the doubt
I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad
Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
I do it for the audience who understands the need
Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed
I do it for the love, for the love
Do it for the love, for the love
I do it for the love, do it, do it, do it
For the love, for my daughter
So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down
Just remember that I've told you, it's what I'm all about

The Getting Over It Part Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
I tried and tried
I tried so many things that wouldn't take
Like stop the leak, prevent the flood, some say
But nothing helped at all
And you're not listening to what I say
You waste the time for memories made
Communication has not made its way to your agenda for today
Or any other day
'Cause this is the last time I'm gonna say it
[Chorus:]
If you come around here, you know
We're gonna have some problems, though
'Cause yeah, we're over
Get over it, though
I've seen that look before
Leave that shit at your door
'Cause yeah, we're over
Get over it, though
[Post-Chorus:]
Now I'm shouting out
You gotta hear me
Can you end this now?
I'm tired of waiting
You don't get the point
And you don't get control
And we both have a chance
If you just let go
[Verse 2:]
You can't have me tonight, tomorrow night, the next day
For anyone or anything
And anyway, I'm not asking you to stay
You're not my fucking problem, one you just throw away
Let's burn this house we built up down and simply walk away
[Chorus:]
If you come around here, you know
We're gonna have some problems, though
'Cause yeah, we're over
Get over it, though
I've seen that look before
Leave that shit at your door
'Cause yeah, we're over
Yes, we are over
[Bridge:]
I'm gonna win this conversation
Look who's got the microphone
I can't believe you're stuck on always trying to fuck me up
Yeah, I think you ruined us all
Yeah, I truly believe you fucking ruined us all
[Chorus:]
If you come around here, you know
We're gonna have some problems, though
'Cause yeah, we're over
Get over it, though
I've seen that look before
Leave that shit at your door
'Cause yeah, we're over
Yes, we're over
The Worry List Lyrics
9 ContributorsThe Worry List LyricsThis song was wrote about lead singer Justin Furstenfeldās struggle with being a Father from afar. Itās dedicated to his daughter, Blue. The songs tells the story of life as a Father after divorce. He admits⦠Read MoreĀ I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark...
A could've been
Don't be concerned, that's just the power of a breaking heart...
How good am I hiding it?
Look, I've got some bad intentions; guilty as fucking charged
Still standing stable, more than able, 'cause I know who you are
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed
I regret them all, but, but now I know this;
I know that God exists,I held her in my arms
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
I'm really fine, and Mar, there's nothing we haven't talked about
So take me off your worry list, I said "throw it away"
Yeah, this is what my life is about
I might've been gone, but I never walked out
I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view
Of what kind of man would take the trust you break
And still follow through
'Cause I'm standing right here and you may not show up
Our same gate 14 where honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff
And it's just embarrassing that I nearly threw up
While I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up
And at the top of my list, this visitation is no relationship
But I've got to make the best of it, 'cause I know;
I know that God exists, I held her in my arms
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
And I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around
Take me off your worry list, just throw it away
Well, it's time to stand up on my own for her
'Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm coming today
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up
Everything is quiet and covered in snow
There's something wrong here, nobody's at home
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat, heading back home
Yeah, back to Texas on my own
Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way
And I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around
Take me off your worry list, just throw it away
It's time to stand up on my own for her
I'm packing it up and I'm coming today
This is what my story's about
I might have been gone, but I never walked out
I'm packing it up and I'm coming today
This is what your story's about
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
If it helps to know, so there is no doubt
Just listen to the stories, not everything is glorious
Some hurt, some love, some shout
I fought the world and I lost that bout
And you are what my album's about
I might've been gone, but I never walked out
