All The Wrong Places

and I watched her leave
you can't bend what's already broken
o marry me
we'll be a choir of fools singing
and I watched her dream
you can't save what's already hopeless
o rescue me
cuz I'm caught in between forgiveness
chorus:
why did I give you all the credit
why did I believe that you were redemption
before I even met you I was this way
before I even met you I was ashamed
before I even met you I was in all the wrong places
o wedding rings
girls in white dresses
you couldn't love me
with the kind of love that i needed
o rosemarry
i don't want to know your secret
you keep him on his toes but it's not love that you're feeling

Beautiful Words
04:31
|
|||
|
Where, where do I run?
Now that you've left me with such beautiful words.
You have not seen I get weak
With such beautiful words.
Taken and erased.
I tried so hard to forget your face.
Tonight I stood by you
And whispered words in a crowded room.
Chorus:
And I'm starting to find my way back to you.
When you hold this heart of mine with all these words you choose.
I adore you.
Now the cold of December breaks my heart like it wants to.
And I have had so many lies in the back of my head
So tell me the truth.
And this jealousy and blame has me convinced it's my mistake darling,
So I don't think of you.
And I've been traveling for days finding solitude I hate.
Darling, so tell me the truth.
Chorus:

Satisfy
02:52
|
|||
|
I can't decide what to do on the wayside.
Chorus:
Oh build me a castle by the sea.
Oh it never really satisfied the void inside of me.
I can't deny the underdog on the sidelines.
Chorus:
A promise is a promise until the day I break it and I break it in small pieces and left it on the table.
A promise is a promise until the day I break it. I break it in small pieces and left it on the floorboards.
Chorus:

Come Home
03:41
|
|||
|
You've got your suitcase,
Your shoes in a line.
You sing some old songs and you leave some behind.
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd fall on my knees and pray for you to come home.
I said "I'd be fine." I guess it was a lie.
I have started to hate this old piano cuz it always seems to make me cry. It always gets inside of me.
Leave the food on the table if you've got something to say tonight.
I can't promise to be brave but I'll close my eyes as you walk away tonight.

I Don't Like It
03:33
|

|
So we met met met in the parking lot of the Doctor's office.
And he cha cha charmed his way into my heart.
And he took took took one look look look.
Deep enough, but just above the scars.
Chorus:
And so I said, "sometimes you're a bore. I think this love is over. I think this is the end."
So he got real low and said, "baby, I already know. You've been letting yourself go, and I don't think I like it."
So maybe it's merely a chemical to fill me up.
But soon you will see that love is not enough.
Chorus:
Before you go there's something you should know.
Before you leave there's something you should see.
x2
You don't have a foothold on me.

Dare To Stare
03:09
|
|||
|
Do what you will for I am stronger.
Made of steel in repair.
Chorus:
How you gonna hold someone with all that money in your palm?
Dare to stare, for I am not yours.
Don't get me wrong I kiss the ground you tread on.
You say, "sometimes she looks like cinderella but then sometimes she looks like barbarella"
Shallow is your love.
Chorus:
For I know what you have come for and my desires are not your own.
A man of steady hands and conviction is deserving of my love.
Chorus:

Trust In You
03:36
|
|||
|
I don't wanna be a casual casualty
So I turn to glass so that you won't laugh if by chance you breach through the cracks
And I don't wanna be there when it starts if by the end
You break my only heart
Chorus:
Who dared to call you afraid of the fall?
You can't love 'em all.
And I will trust in you still
Trust in you until
I don't want this to be so tragic
If I stood in the middle of the room holding another would you understand better?
Chorus 2:
Who dared to call you afraid of the fall?
You can't fix 'em all.
But I will trust in you still
Trust in you until.
Blame it on the weather
It's never been better
And I can't sleep when it's so quiet
Even if it costs you
I'll leave it all behind

O My Lord
04:33
|
|||
|
I don't want to grow old without you by my side.
I don't want to give in, I'd rather be alone tonight.
I don't want to be so cold when love has led me from the light.
I want to be yours but I'd rather be along tonight.
O My Lord, he's not coming around anymore.
This time I see his body's washed up on the shore.
She was 15, ready for the world.
She was breaking, cancer in every curl.
Eight years and I can't forget her words,
She says, "You better fight even when it kills".
O My Lord, she's not coming around anymore. x2
This time I see her body's washed up on the shore.
You were silent as we walked into the sea.
And I cried upon your coat as you carried me.
You write freedom upon the grave, restoration upon this heart that he breaks. x2
So close your eyes and wait for a new day to rise, a new horizon. And don't be ashamed child to walk through the blazing fire - I'll carry you to the waters.

Like I Promised
04:21
|
|||
|
It don't feel so bad if you forget just what you had
And you don't see just how it's gonna feel in the palm of her hand
And watch those days go by with these demons at your side
And I don't need excuses I just need you tonight
Chorus:
I lied and I don't need you like I promised
I've seen the ground where he lies and I don't need you like I promised
Where's the man I used to know, I used to hold?
You're stronger than me and I should have seen that you don't need me like you promised.
He said he was sorry for letting himself hold onto me
He said he was sorry for letting me believe in his lies
25 years old, the last thing on his mind was the painted lines of the road
Chorus:
What would it take to make you so cold?
Numbered and reckless and beautiful and broke?
Chorus:

Leave Softly
03:37
|
|||
|
This is the last song, one of many, many more to come.
This is the last time I believe. Because your love is a lie.
Chorus:
So he took my hand as I waited by the stairs
He said, "You don't trust me but I ain't going nowhere."
So he stole my heart in the latter part of the year
And just like a thief he disappeared
Cuz it's easier to leave
You are a stranger in her arms but the stage lights always win the fight
Chorus:
So you leave softly in hopes that it might let me be
You leave quiet, but it's nothing short of dying

I Don't Want Your Roses
03:31
|
|||
|
Down an old grid road, lined with sticks and stones
"You'll be only mine, girl" says a man with a cross on his arm
You'll have a story to tell, lined with sticks from hell
Standing on your head, with only emptiness to spend
Chorus:
If you're only lovely with diamonds, I don't want your loveliness
Down a wishing well, you whisper, you scream, you yell
All you wanted was a kiss, you got tears and expensive roses
Chorus:
If you're only lovely with flowers, I don't want you're roses

Breaking Seams
04:25
|
|||
|
I swear if you could see
Baby if you could notice the ground shaking beneath my feet
If you could notice me
If I was polite, I could ask for some courtesy
Instead I delight myself in his breaking seams
How I sit in the midst of apocalyptic things and think it's funny
Chorus:
Like a song
Like a river overfloweth
Like a drum, drum, drum
I will beat out this disease
Like your song that brings me to my knees
But love will come, love will come for me
So she puts her heart upon the table for no one is good and no one is able x2
Chorus:
