I Wanna Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never thought that I was so blind
I can finally see the truth
It's me for you
Tonight, you can't imagine that I'm by your side
'Cause it's never gonna be the truth
So far for you
[Pre-Chorus]
But can you hear me say?
Don't throw me away
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
[Chorus]
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every day, but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way, and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
[Verse 2]
Take everything that I know you'll break
And I give my life away
So far for you
[Pre-Chorus]
But can you hear me say
Don't throw me away
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
[Chorus]
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every day, but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way, and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
[Bridge]
Tonight, I'm weak (Tonight, I'm weak)
It's just another day without you
And I can't sleep (I can't sleep)
I gave away the world for you to
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear me say
Don't throw me away
(Don't throw me away)
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
All I wanna do is touch you
[Chorus]
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every day, but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way, and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
But all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna I wanna I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
And when they set me free
Yeah, just put your hands on me
Fallinā Apart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can somebody save me?
'Cause I'm thinking maybe
That you can take me piece by piece, yeah
Then you got your reasons
But I didn't need 'em
And either way I'm on my knees, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You knew when I was wrong
You say that I'm deranged
I can see that you're uneasy
And its not gonna change
And no matter how far
Wherever you
[Chorus]
Wherever you go, I'm calling
Even when you're breaking my heart
Wherever you go I'm crawling
Even when we're falling
Even when we're falling apart
[Verse 2]
You say that you're leaving
Say that you don't need him
And all I do is give and you just take
I guess that I knew it
I can't make it through it
But I'm gonna try this anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
You knew when I was wrong
You knew that I'm deranged
I can see that you're uneasy
And its not gonna change
And no matter how far
Wherever you
[Chorus]
Wherever you go, I'm calling
Even when you're breaking my heart
Wherever you go, I'm crawling
Even when we're falling
Even when we're falling apart
Yeah, looks like we're falling apart
[Bridge]
We're in your garden where the roses sleep
I can make you anything you wanna be
When that body's close to me
I can give you anything you'd ever need
When I fall to the floor
'Cause I can't feel anymore
You can have my heart, girl
You don't have to steal anymore
When I look to the stars
Wherever you are
[Chorus]
Yeah, wherever you are
Wherever you go, I'm calling
Even when you're breaking my heart
Wherever you go, I'm crawling
Even when we're falling
Even when we're falling apart
Wherever you go, I'm crawling
Wherever you go, I'm crawling
Wherever you go, I'm crawling
Even when we're falling
Even when we're falling apart
[Outro]
Yeah, I guess we're falling apart
Mmm, looks like were falling apart
Yeah, I guess I'm falling apart
Damn Girl Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you feel like running today
You know I'd understand
You don't, but you long
It's easier to give it away
When on the other hand
You know I
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not much better without you
I'm like your victim and all that you need is an alibi
It's one thing about you
I don't wanna make you cry
[Chorus]
Damn, girl, dry your eyes
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No girl, you can't see
When he's inside, you know there's no room for me
[Interlude]
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm mmm-mmm mmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
If you can take a chance
Find you that better man
Your life seethes from your quick disease
You're giving all my loving away
Tell me to understand
'Cause you know I
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not much better without you
I'll press your lips and I taste everyone that you've had tonight
It's one thing about you
I don't wanna taste tonight
[Chorus]
Damn, girl, dry your eyes (Dry your eyes)
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No, girl, you can't see (You can't see)
When he's inside, you know there's no room for me
And I used to think that I was all you would need
[Bridge]
(Nah nah nah) And there you go again
(Nah nah nah) Ooh, you think that you can just push me around
(Nah nah nah) Yeah, and there you go again
You lift me up and then you throw me back down
[Chorus]
Damn, girl, dry your eyes (Dry your eyes)
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside
No, girl, you can't see (You can't see)
When he's inside, you know there's no room for me (Damn that girl)
Damn, girl (Damn, girl) Dry your eyes (Dry your eyes)
You stole my heart and then you kicked it aside (Damn that girl)
No, girl (Damn, girl) You can't see (You can't see)
When he's inside, you know there's no room for me
And I used to think that I was all you would need
[Outro]
If you feel like running, today
You know I'd understand
Gives You Hell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up every evenin'
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels outta place
And you're still probably workin'
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
[Chorus]
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
[Verse 2]
Now where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?
You never seemed so tense, love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?
[Pre-Chorus]
And truth be told, I miss you
And truth be told, I'm lyin'
[Chorus]
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
I hope it gives you hell
[Verse 3]
Tomorrow, you'll be thinkin' to yourself
"Yeah, where did it all go wrong?"
But the list goes on and on
[Pre-Chorus]
And truth be told, I miss you
And truth be told, I'm lyin'
[Chorus]
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
[Bridge]
Now you'll never see what you've done to me
You can take back your memories, they're no good to me
And here's all your lies, you can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look that you wear so well
[Breakdown]
(When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell)
(When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell)
(When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well)
(Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell)
[Chorus]
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell (Hope it gives you hell!)
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell (Hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song and you sing along, no, you'll never tell (No, you'll never tell)
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well, hope it gives you hell (Hope it gives you hell)
[Outro]
When you hear this song, I hope that it will give you hell
(Hope it gives you hell)
You can sing along, I hope that it puts you through hell
Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here's another pity
And there's another chance
Try to learn a lesson, but you can't
If we can burn a city
In futures and in past
Without a change, our lives will never last
'Cause we're going fast
[Chorus]
You can sit beside me when the world comes down
If it doesn't matter, then just turn around
We don't need our bags and we can just leave town
You can sit beside me when the world comes down
[Verse 2]
What can we do better?
And when will we know how?
A man says from a sidewalk to a crowd
If we can change the weather
If you wanted to yourself
And if you can't, I guess we all need help
Yeah, I need help
[Chorus]
You can sit beside me when the world comes down
If it doesn't matter, then just turn around
We don't need our bags and we can just leave town
And you can sit beside me when the world comes down
[Bridge]
We say and we do
All the lies, the truth
And all I need is next to me
Yeah, we're going fast
[Chorus]
You can sit beside me when the world comes down
If it doesn't matter, then just turn around
Will you be the queen? And I'll be your clown
You can sit beside me when the world comes down
[Outro]
Hmm-mmm-mmm mmm-mmm
Hmm-mmm-mmm mmm-mmm-mmm
Hmm-mmm-mmm mmm-mmm
And you can sit beside me when the world comes
You can sit beside me when the world comes down
Breakinā Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold on tight
And wrap your arms around me 'til your
Knuckles are burning white
And all your tears (All your tears)
They couldn't match the bitter taste
Of all these wasted years
[Pre-Chorus]
And all you take take
Everything that wasn't even yours
Wait wait
You don't got a hold of me anymore
[Chorus]
In a clear view, there's a silhouette
And I watch you, and I can't forget
(Knew we were done when you locked that door)
Yeah, I figured it out now
Breaking's what the heart is for
When I see you in a silhouette
And you hold close, do you feel regret?
(Keeping me down when I hit that floor)
And I figured it out, girl
Breaking's what your heart is for
[Verse 2]
For so long
I've had to bite my tongue, but what's the
Point if the feelings gone?
I turn my head (I turn my head)
A blind eye only sees a memory
But all I see is red (All I see is red)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, don't don't say it didn't happen that way
I won't won't believe another word that you say
[Chorus]
In a clear view, there's a silhouette
And I watch you and I can't forget
(Knew we were done when you locked that door)
Yeah, I figured it out now
Breaking's what the heart is for
When I see you in a silhouette
And you hold close, do you feel regret?
(Keeping me down when I hit that floor)
And I figured it out, girl
Breaking's what your heart is for
[Post-Chorus]
Break break break, yeah, break break break
Yeah, breaking's what your heart is for
(Break break break, yeah, break break break)
Break break break, yeah, break break break
Yeah, breaking's what your heart is for
(Break break break, yeah, break break break)
[Bridge]
And not a soul sleeps
Another heart skips a beat
It's every note that you wrote
And I hope that you choke on the lines
You're wasting my time
Another heart beats tonight
[Chorus]
In a clear view, there's a silhouette
And I watch you, no, I'll never forget
(Knew we were done when you locked that door)
Yeah, I figured it out now
Breaking's what the heart is for
When I see you in a silhouette
And you hold close, do you feel regret?
(Keeping me down when I hit that floor)
And I figured it out, girl
Breaking's what your heart is for
[Post-Chorus]
Break break break, yeah, break break break
Yeah, breaking's what your heart is for
(Break break break, yeah, break break break)
Break break break, yeah, break break break
Yeah, breaking's what your heart is for
(Break break break, yeah, break break break)
Break break break, yeah, break break break
Yeah, breaking's what your heart is for
(Break break break, yeah, break break break)
Break break break, yeah, break break break
Yeah, breaking's what your heart is
(Break break break, yeah, break break break)
Another Heart Calls Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tyson Ritter, The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
Do you remember when we didn't care?
We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there
Do you remember you at all?
Another heart calls
[Pre-Chorus: Tyson Ritter, The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
Yeah, I remember when we stole the night
We'd lie awake, but dream until the sun would wash the sky
Just as soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you?
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all
[Chorus: Tyson Ritter & The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
[Verse 2: Tyson Ritter, The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
Talk to me, I'm throwin' myself in front of you
But this could be the last mistake that I would ever wanna do
Yeah, all I ever do is give
It's time you see my point of view
[Pre-Chorus: Tyson Ritter, The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
Just as soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you?
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all
[Chorus: Tyson Ritter, The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
And I know what you want is to figure it out
And God knows I do too
What can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
[Post-Chorus: Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh
Na na na-na na
Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh
Na na na-na na
[Bridge: Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
I'm sorry
So what?
But you don't think I've said enough
I'm sorry you don't care
I don't care, you were never there
[Pre-Chorus: Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
Just as soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all
[Chorus: Tyson Ritter, The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
But I know what you want is to figure it out
And God knows I do, too
Yeah, what can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
[Outro: Tyson Ritter, The Pierces, Tyson Ritter & The Pierces]
(Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh)
I'll never ask for anyone but you
(Na na na-na na)
(Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh)
I'll never ask for anyone but you
(Na na na-na na)
(Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh)
I'll never ask for anyone but you
(Na na na-na na)
(Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh)
I'll never ask for anyone but you
(Na na na-na na)
(Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh)
I'll never ask for anyone but you
(Na na na-na na)
(Oh oh-oh oh, oh oh-oh oh)
Real World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up on this side, I thought it was a dream
At first, we learned to walk, then learned to scream
You can't understand when you're fed from a TV screen
And you can't see the things that I can see
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I forget that you thank God and pray
Some things just never stay, and we all just slip away
[Chorus]
This can't be the real world, now
I don't believe it when I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world, now
The old are carried in only to poison youth
Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no-oh
[Verse 2]
I look for some hope in every face, there's a vacant stare
The shadows come, but no one seems to care
The darkness floods every light that could promise change
She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain, but blood is pain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Somewhere I know that I'm not all alone
With this bated breath I hold, my lungs want to explode
[Chorus]
This can't be the real world, now
I don't believe it when I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world, now
The old are carried in only to poison youth
Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no-oh
This can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no-oh
[Bridge]
Just as soon as we see every flaw and every need, we'll understand
And for the first time (time)
A child to a man says only pure words that he can
And he's too late, this man, he knows it, he said
With all emotions set aside, "In a whisper, say goodbye"
[Chorus]
This can't be the real world, now
I don't believe it when I can't see the truth
Welcome to the real world, now
The old are carried in now just to poison youth
Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?
'Cause I know this can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no-oh
This can't be the real world, now
Oh no oh, oh no-oh
[Outro]
This can't be the real world
This can't be the real world
This can't be the real world now
Oh no oh, oh no-oh
Back to Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, you
So you never really found your way?
Stay true
Did you ever make it through today?
(You never make it through the day)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that when I think about a day without it
Everyday's the same
You wish that you could find someone
But I'm the only one to blame
[Chorus]
Can't you see I beg and plead?
'Cause when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know you're gonna find your way back to me
[Verse 2]
No, don't
Don't you ever let a piece of me down
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
'Cause time won't
Get back when I'm never around
(That's when I'm coming around)
[Pre-Chorus]
When we live between so many walls
That I can barely breathe
You say that you just want someone
But I'm the only one you need
[Chorus]
Can't you see I beg and plead?
'Cause when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know you're gonna find your way
If it's me that you don't need
Then when the lights go out tonight, I know
You're never gonna find your way
[Bridge]
Soon, when I get you, I won't let you go
Ooh, if I let you, you can take away
(All that I thought was wrong)
And if you hear me, there's not much to say
There's gotta be a better way
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Can't you see I beg and plead?
'Cause when your eyes light up the sky tonight
I know you're going to find your way back to me
Can't you see I beg and plead?
'Cause when the lights go out tonight, I know
You're never gonna find your way
If it's me that you don't need
Then when the lights go out tonight, I know
You're never gonna find a way
You can pace around the world 'til you're with me
And when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know you're gonna find your way back to me
Believe Lyrics
[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna believe
Yeah, I don't ever wanna believe, yeah
That when we die
That we all leave
[Verse 1]
Your innocence is not forgotten
I hope you know that where you are, I wish you well
I hope you sleep in the perfect memory
[Pre-Chorus]
You know it's hard, I've tried
But I could never say goodbye
[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna believe
No, I don't ever wanna believe, yeah
That when we die
That we all leave
I don't ever wanna let go
Yeah, I hope that you see, yeah
That there's a part of you that's left inside of me
[Verse 2]
Yesterday just took me hostage
And yesterday locked me away from any truth
And now tomorrow's here without you
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's hard, I've tried (I've tried)
But I could never say goodbye (Goodbye)
[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna believe
Yeah, I don't ever wanna believe, yeah
That when we die
That we all leave
I don't ever wanna let go
And I hope that you see, yeah
That there's a part of you that's left inside of me
That there's a part of you that's left inside
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I try to push you away
Yeah, but you never push back (But I know)
You know I'll never forget you
I never thought I'd say that
You made a mess out of me (I know)
[Interlude]
Oh, I don't ever wanna believe
Yeah, I don't ever wanna believe, yeah
That when we die
That we all leave
[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna believe
Yeah, I don't ever wanna believe, yeah
That when we die
That we all leave
I don't ever wanna let go
And I hope that you see, yeah
That there's a part of you that's left inside of me
That there's a part of you that's left inside of me
[Outro]
That there's a part of you that's left inside of me
That there's a part of you that's left inside of me
The Wind Blows Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got to breathe
You can't take that from me
'Cause it's all that you left that's mine
And you had to leave
And that's all I can see
But you told me your love was blind
[Pre-Chorus]
I know there are times
You're so impossible that I should sign a waiver
And you will find
Someone worth walkin' on when you ask me to go
[Chorus]
I'll leave when the wind blows
Take a breath, there your heart goes
I'll be outside of your window
I'll pass by, but I'll go slow
I'll leave when the wind blows
[Verse 2]
There was a day
You threw our love away
Then you passed it to someone new
You wanna stay
But since you wanna play
We can finally say we're through
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know there are times
You're so impossible, and you ask me to go
[Chorus]
I'll leave when the wind blows
Take a breath, there your heart goes
I'll be outside of your window
I'll pass by, but I'll go slow
I'll leave when the wind blows
You can scream, there's just echoes
I'll pass outside of your window
You'll be sad that you let me go
I'll leave, but just know
[Bridge]
As I lay in solitude
Oh, what's a boy supposed to do?
I shake the very thought of you
And me together, I remember
Late nights when I stayed up late
All I'd do is wait and wait
You're never comin' home to me
That's the hardest thing to see
(That's the hardest thing to see)
[Interlude]
I got to breathe
You can't take that from me
But I can finally say we're through
[Chorus]
I'll leave when the wind blows
Take a breath, there your heart goes
I'll be outside of your window
I'll pass by, but I'll go slow
I'll leave when the wind blows
You can scream, there's just echoes
I'll pass outside of your window
You'll be sad that you let me go
On every face you'll ever know
And everywhere you'll ever go
You'll feel when the wind blows
Sunshine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a new day, it's a bright day
Even when you stand in the dark
It's just that you've been broken, fifty pieces
[Pre-Chorus]
Today is gone
Yeah, I'm the only light that you see
You need someone
I know all you needed was me
[Chorus]
Every day, we wake if it takes too long
Just tell me something new
Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
[Verse 2]
Another pale moon shines like high noon
Midnight never felt so cold alone
It's just that you're uneasy when you need me
[Pre-Chorus]
Today is gone
I'm the only light that you see
You need someone
I know all you needed was me
[Chorus]
Every day, we wake if it takes too long
Just tell me something new
Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
You can say it's right, but it feels so wrong
Just show me something true
Forget about the sunshine
Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Today is gone
I'm the only light that you see
You need someone
And I know all you needed was me
[Chorus]
Every day, we wake if it takes too long
Just tell me something new
Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
You can think it's right when it feels so wrong
Just show me something true
Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
Every day, we wake if it takes too long
(When it's gone, when it's gone)
Just show me something true
Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
You can think it's right, but it feels so wrong
(When it's gone, when it's gone)
Just show me something true
Forget about the sunshine
Forget about the sunshine when it's gone
