A consequence of what was said
Where had you been lately?
Suddenly I’d fallen down
A bit of love, a bit of hate
How much longer must I wait
When all I wanted was an answer from you?
Do you still think of me?
Hey hey – another wasted line
You couldn’t even look in my eyes
A letter said what you could not
The CLE would be the end
Rendezvous with ex-boyfriends
When all I wanted was a lifetime with you
Do you still think of me?
Why did you do what you did to the key?
Why did you do what you did to me?
Why did you do what you did to the key?
And I bet you’re broken now
I’m not sorry for anything
A betrayal is what you gave to me

Hate You The Worst

You wrote a letter with the words you couldn’t say
Your penmanship almost got in the way
You bore a burden
Now it’s crawling off your chest
And I can see clearly now
Hurt me severely now
I am running empty on tact
But come on – how can you blame me for that?
And now I have this line to rehearse
‘Cuz I hate you the worst
I walked the tracks to ponder how you ever felt
And if you’re drowning in all of this guilt
I bore a burden
Still it’s stuck right in my head
And you can see clearly now
Hurt me severely now

Indifferent

Everybody’s got so much to say
When the microphone’s not on
And it gets harder every day
And I swore to you
That I’d do what I can
When we wonder what went wrong
It’s ignorance to me
When I gaze into your eyes
Arrogance is all I see
As I spew another tune about the way it used to be
I am comforted to know you’re indifferent to me
Everybody’s got some sort of shame
Yours and mine might share a past
But most of us remain the same
And you promised me
We would be everything
We used to be
We used to be
Everybody’s got something to gain
Being seventeen is lame

The Fall
04:29

The irony is lost on me
I held my tongue so patiently
Just tell me what I should say
We’re all in need of repair
And your subtlety is so unfair
I can’t believe that there’s nothing wrong
I knew it right from the start
I wanted to breathe but you tagged along
So you could tear me apart
But now that my dreams are afraid…
The day is long – we carry on
And you could argue it’s my fault
Just tell me what I should do
We’re tangled up in deceit
Your confidence is confusing to me
She said, “Don’t believe in me.”
I can’t believe that there’s nothing wrong
I knew it right from the start
I wanted to breathe but you tagged along
So you could tear me apart
But now that my dreams are afraid
To even see the light of day
I’m still waiting for the fall
(Do what you want to)

Half An Hour
03:48

|
Light it up and watch it burn
This house of lessons never learned
It’s hard to find a place to hide
When every truth around you turns to lies
Desperate eyes lead desperate lives
Time may pass but it won’t fly
And innocence – it makes no sense
The ties that bind you blind you
So that you’re still breaking
(They all know)
You’re still breaking up
Slow it down
