1. Infatuation
He tries to woo me
It's not working
Please stop talking
He says he knows some pretty famous people
And I'm wondering to myself is he evil?
It seems to be he's up to no good
He'd have his way with me and leave as soon as he could
I can no longer force laugh at his jokes
And no thank you to the drinks and the smokes
Please sir can I just get by?
I'm not giving in no matter how hard he tries
And back at home I've got a pack of beer waiting
As soon as I'm away from him that's time that I'm saving
I admire his determination
But he don't really love me it's just infatuation
He's trying to put a hand up my skirt
And when I tell him to stop he looks so hurt
As if I'm the one who did something wrong
Well he can't touch me any more cause I'm already gone
As I walk out that door he's already on the next looking to score
I admire his determination
But he don't really love me it's just infatuation, on, on
It's not working
Please stop talking
He says he knows some pretty famous people
And I'm wondering to myself is he evil?
It seems to be he's up to no good
He'd have his way with me and leave as soon as he could
I can no longer force laugh at his jokes
And no thank you to the drinks and the smokes
Please sir can I just get by?
I'm not giving in no matter how hard he tries
And back at home I've got a pack of beer waiting
As soon as I'm away from him that's time that I'm saving
I admire his determination
But he don't really love me it's just infatuation
He's trying to put a hand up my skirt
And when I tell him to stop he looks so hurt
As if I'm the one who did something wrong
Well he can't touch me any more cause I'm already gone
As I walk out that door he's already on the next looking to score
I admire his determination
But he don't really love me it's just infatuation, on, on
2. Crawl
Oooo, oooo, yeah
Oooo, oooo, yeah
Oooo, oooo, yeah
Oooo, oooo, yeah
Oooo, oooo, yeah
3. The pub
Today I walk alone down a dingy road
I head for the pub for a drink
There's a bar at every block
People all around walk and talk
Calm it down so I can think
Thinking of a woman who died
Wondering why on Earth I'm still alive
I'm just having fun for the time being
Swallow my drink whole
Ask for another cause I'm on a roll
Contemplating the bigger picture the deeper meaning
While we're hanging out at the pub
Where everyone is looking for some fun
There to fill your cup, cheers baby, bottom's up
While we're hanging out at the pub
Where everybody's looking for fun
I suppose I should get going soon
But I feel trapped in this room
I can't escape the prison in my head
Pay the tab but I still sit
After all I'm not really ready to quit
Must I face these paths ahead?
Keep it to myself in the dark
Ignore the rowdy drunk remarks
I'm trapped in my own little world
Close my eyes and take off
Stomach turns into knots
It all becomes a blur and I spin and I swirl
While we're at the pub where everyone is looking for some love
There to fill your cup, cheers baby, bottoms up
While we're hanging at the pub, where everybody's looking for some fun
They're there to fill your cup, cheers baby, bottom's up
While we're hanging out at the pub
Where everybody's looking for love
While we're hanging out at the pub
Where everybody's looking for fun
While we're hanging out at the pub
Everybody is looking for love
While we're hanging out at the pub
Everybody is looking for fun
While we're hanging out at the pub
Everybody is looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
I head for the pub for a drink
There's a bar at every block
People all around walk and talk
Calm it down so I can think
Thinking of a woman who died
Wondering why on Earth I'm still alive
I'm just having fun for the time being
Swallow my drink whole
Ask for another cause I'm on a roll
Contemplating the bigger picture the deeper meaning
While we're hanging out at the pub
Where everyone is looking for some fun
There to fill your cup, cheers baby, bottom's up
While we're hanging out at the pub
Where everybody's looking for fun
I suppose I should get going soon
But I feel trapped in this room
I can't escape the prison in my head
Pay the tab but I still sit
After all I'm not really ready to quit
Must I face these paths ahead?

Everybody is looking for love
While we're hanging out at the pub
Everybody is looking for fun
While we're hanging out at the pub
Everybody is looking for love

4. The Wolves
What's that? What's that that you said?
I don't think I heard that correctly
Those three little words "I love you"
Is that what you just said to me?
No, no that's impossible cause that doesn't make any sense
It doesn't seem to be logical because your actions contradict
You threw me to the wolves
Then made a run for it
Over my shoulder I take a look
As the wolves quicken and floor it
Whoa, I am so scared for my life
Does he not care if I live or if I die?
No guilt in his eyes, his hands untied
He doesn't mind and he's feeling sly
Sly, sly like a fox
And sneaky as a snake
Slithering in between the rocks
Oblivious to my horrid fate
But then I hear those three words
"I love you" once again
I think you got a lot to learn
Cause we're not even close to being friends
What? What was that that you said?
You need to speak up a little louder
Clear your throat, shake your head
You look like you've been sucking on something sour
Your qualities of love consist of
Abuse, neglect, and selfishness
Keeping it rough and pushing me down
Confusion and ignorance
I'm having a difficult time understanding
Why you call this misery love
It's very strange and uncanny
I think I've had quite enough
If this is how you love someone
Then I'd hate to see how you'd hate someone
You're not qualified to love
Until you come back to save me
And straighten up
What's that? What's that that you said?
I don't think I heard that correctly
Those three little words "I love you"
Is that what you just said to me?
No, that's impossible cause that doesn't make any sense
It doesn't seem to be logical because your actions contradict
You threw me to the wolves
You threw me to the wolves
You threw me to the wolves
Then called it love
You threw me to the wolves
You threw me to the wolves
You threw me to the wolves
Then called it love
I don't think I heard that correctly
Those three little words "I love you"
Is that what you just said to me?
No, no that's impossible cause that doesn't make any sense
It doesn't seem to be logical because your actions contradict
You threw me to the wolves
Then made a run for it

As the wolves quicken and floor it
Whoa, I am so scared for my life

You threw me to the wolves
You threw me to the wolves
Then called it love
You threw me to the wolves
You threw me to the wolves
You threw me to the wolves
Then called it love
5. Grin
Looking over my shoulder from time to time
Not sure what it is I will find
All I know that it's a monster of some kind
I know he's mad and on the wicked side
Maybe once good but now consumed with hate
He'd have you running, except you'd be running in place
Cross paths with him he'd have control of your fate
I wanna stop what's coming but it may be too late
He's lurking in the shadows craving revenge
The evil on his face will make your cringe
With icy blue eyes and a devil's grin
His sinful deeds will make you sick and spin
But that's a tale for another time
You won't wanna believe in his horrible crimes
The devil's grin smiling so wide
Looking over my shoulder from time to time
Time to time, looking over my shoulder from time to time
The devil's grin smiling so wide
Looking over my shoulder from time to time
Time to time, time to time,
Time to time, looking over my shoulder from time to time
Not sure what it is I will find
All I know that it's a monster of some kind
I know he's mad and on the wicked side
Maybe once good but now consumed with hate
He'd have you running, except you'd be running in place
Cross paths with him he'd have control of your fate
I wanna stop what's coming but it may be too late
He's lurking in the shadows craving revenge
The evil on his face will make your cringe
With icy blue eyes and a devil's grin
His sinful deeds will make you sick and spin
But that's a tale for another time
You won't wanna believe in his horrible crimes
The devil's grin smiling so wide
Looking over my shoulder from time to time
Time to time, looking over my shoulder from time to time
The devil's grin smiling so wide
Looking over my shoulder from time to time
Time to time, time to time,
Time to time, looking over my shoulder from time to time
6. Four walls
Every day he paces in his cell
Back and forth, can't keep still
Alone he wonders with his thoughts
Wishing every moment that he didn't get caught
But he can't take it back
Holding on the verge to attack
Any poor soul walking round his way
Praying that he gets out here soon some day
Chorus:
Surrounded by four walls
Planning on a an escape
No regrets at all
And so consumed with hate
Sooner or later
He'll be out
And when he's able
He'll be hitting the road down South
Down South
Dreams of what he'll do when he leaves
The people he will visit the places he'll see
Patience runs low as he waits
For when he'll say so long to his cell mates
Replace this nasty food with lobster and steak
Imagines himself walking out the gates
A few more years, they could go by quick
The hands on the clock continuously click
Chorus
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting in the road
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting the road
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting the road
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting the road
Chorus
Sooner or later
He'll be out
And when he's able
He'll be hitting the road down South
Down South
Back and forth, can't keep still
Alone he wonders with his thoughts
Wishing every moment that he didn't get caught
But he can't take it back
Holding on the verge to attack
Any poor soul walking round his way
Praying that he gets out here soon some day
Chorus:
Surrounded by four walls
Planning on a an escape
No regrets at all
And so consumed with hate
Sooner or later
He'll be out
And when he's able
He'll be hitting the road down South
Down South
Dreams of what he'll do when he leaves
The people he will visit the places he'll see
Patience runs low as he waits
For when he'll say so long to his cell mates
Replace this nasty food with lobster and steak
Imagines himself walking out the gates
A few more years, they could go by quick
The hands on the clock continuously click
Chorus
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting in the road
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting the road
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting the road
Digging a hole, reaching a goal
Digging a hole, hitting the road
Chorus
Sooner or later
He'll be out
And when he's able
He'll be hitting the road down South
Down South
7. Prisonbreaker
Over and over I check the rearview mirror
Hoping it won't give in to my terror
Hard pounding hard like a hammer
This is not the time for mistakes or for errors
You see there's this man he's been after me
He's got a heart made of stone and he's angry
He's gone to prison with the help of my words
And now he's broken out and as free as a bird
He wants revenge and all he sees is red
He won't rest until I'm good and dead
Please, prisonbreaker, forget about me
It was you that got you there, don't you see?
Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please
Prisonbreaker, dont you come and murder me
Run to the door with pepper spray in hand
Try to get inside as fast as I can
Check the house to see if anyone's there
Hiding in the closet or underneath the stairs
My paranoia is going out of control
My sanity is getting really hard to get a hold
Peaking through the blinds of the window
Then behind me creeps a tall skinny shadow
Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please
Prisonbreaker, why don't you spare my life and don't you kill me
A shinny pistol gleams in his hand
My legs turn to jello and I can't stand
He stares deeply with those icy eyes
His desire for revenge will soon be satisfied
He aims for my head and I wait for the blow
It's happening so fast and yet so slow
All of a sudden I wake up in my bed
Covered in sweat
It was all just a dream
and I'm not yet dead
But did he or did he not break out?
Man I gotta really really really find out
I check the news and search for his name
Well what do you know, he did escape
Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please
Prisonbreaker, don't you come and murder me
Don't murder me,
Dont murder me,
Oh, pretty pretty please
Dont you come and murder me
Hoping it won't give in to my terror
Hard pounding hard like a hammer
This is not the time for mistakes or for errors
You see there's this man he's been after me
He's got a heart made of stone and he's angry
He's gone to prison with the help of my words
And now he's broken out and as free as a bird
He wants revenge and all he sees is red
He won't rest until I'm good and dead
Please, prisonbreaker, forget about me
It was you that got you there, don't you see?
Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please
Prisonbreaker, dont you come and murder me
Run to the door with pepper spray in hand
Try to get inside as fast as I can
Check the house to see if anyone's there
Hiding in the closet or underneath the stairs
My paranoia is going out of control
My sanity is getting really hard to get a hold
Peaking through the blinds of the window
Then behind me creeps a tall skinny shadow
Prisonbreaker, don't you come after me
Prisonbreaker, searching since he broke free
Prisonbreaker, oh, pretty pretty please
Prisonbreaker, why don't you spare my life and don't you kill me

Don't murder me,
Dont murder me,
Oh, pretty pretty please
Dont you come and murder me
8. wrong places
She thinks she can find it in a person
Still growing up and just learning
One look towards her way
and she falls in a love sick daze
Pursues happiness within a man
Doing more than just holding hands
Young, nieve, and doesn't understand
But she's trying the best she can
Chorus:
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Beat after beat her heart is racing
Looking for love in all the same places
One after another always chasing
She goes to bed with them
Cause no one explained to her there's a difference
Between making love and futile sex
Confuses the two and goes on to the next
Been searching for it since she was a kid
Playing with dolls and playing pretend
Mom and dad weren't around to defend
Always on her own even since back then
Chorus
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Every other day seeing new faces
Feels so close she can almost taste it
Fingers crossed and a little bit wasted
Looking for love in all the wrong places
A little unsure if she's gonna make it
Lost on the bed and fully naked
Jumps first in no time is wasted
Chorus X2
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Wrong places, wrong places
Still growing up and just learning
One look towards her way
and she falls in a love sick daze
Pursues happiness within a man
Doing more than just holding hands
Young, nieve, and doesn't understand
But she's trying the best she can
Chorus:
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Beat after beat her heart is racing
Looking for love in all the same places
One after another always chasing
She goes to bed with them

Confuses the two and goes on to the next
Been searching for it since she was a kid

9. empathy
Try walking a day in someone else's shoes
It's called empathy
If you can't relate or contemplate what others do
Then don't talk to me
Tell someone to get over it and see how well that goes
It's poor advice
Be a listening ear learn to understand what they know
Be warm be nice
Stop telling me to calm down
I need these emotions to get out
Let me cry, let me shout
Let me scream scream until there's no more sound
My vexation is validated
Energies I've not created
Barge in like a wild animal salivating
Tower over me intimidating
I never asked for this
I never asked for this
I never asked for this
What's easy for you may be hard for others
We all have our demons
Some of us run right to them while some take cover
We all have our reasons
Yeah, it has a lot to do with perspective
Everything is a choice
But my life is in danger and I seek protection
and no one can hear my voice
Quit telling me it's all okay
Walk in my shoes for a day
Get a taste of my pain
Then maybe you'll no longer look at me as if I'm insane
My tears are justified
The world isn't always kind
Sometimes happiness is hard to find
I swear I'm not out of my mind
I never asked for this
I never asked for this
I never asked for this this this this this
I never asked for this pain
Some monsters can not be tamed
It's getting dark here comes the rain
Empathy our pain is the same
We can't always have control
Hard times tend to unfold
Everyone, the young, the old
Empathy we've all felt the cold
We never asked for this
We never asked for this
We never asked for this
We never asked for this
No we never did
We never asked for this, for this, for this
It's called empathy
It's called empathy
If you can't relate or contemplate what others do
Then don't talk to me
Tell someone to get over it and see how well that goes
It's poor advice
Be a listening ear learn to understand what they know
Be warm be nice
Stop telling me to calm down
I need these emotions to get out
Let me cry, let me shout
Let me scream scream until there's no more sound
My vexation is validated

10. love and lust
You no longer look at me with the same passion
The fire in your eyes is gone
You told me that I was a goddess
But it seems like your feelings didn't last long
But when it was there, oh man, it was sweet
I enjoyed every little minute
Wish what we had was something we'd keep
but I understand you're ready to finish
Pre chorus:
Before you get on out of here
I wanna tell you something first
Please let me whisper in your ear
I promise what I gotta say won't hurt
Chorus:
You fill me with a burning desire
You have all the perfect traits
Thank you for being mine to inspire
I really am gonna miss your taste
Although what it was, was only temporary
I appreciate your love and lust
I can't stop myself from caring
And looking at you gives me such a rush
Love and lust
Love and lust
Looking at you gives me such a rush
Was it always about the physical touch
Or was there ever any more meaning?
Any moment now you'll call off your bluff
and give back all of those wonderful feelings
I'm not ready for it to come to an end
But I see that you are
Just so you know I'm still down to be friends
Even if you rather see us apart
I know that passion is still there somewhere
Maybe you're forcing yourself to leave
I know deep down you still care
But if you must go can I have a goodbye kiss pretty pretty please?
Pre chorus
Chorus
Love and lust
Love and lust
Looking at you gives me such a rush

11. change your mind
At the beginning it was nothing but sparks
to be expected at the start
Eagerly couldn't get enough
Every day always calling each other up
You'd tell me I'm beautiful, I'd call you handsome
Then all of a sudden you became a phantom
Did I say something to offend?
That was not the message I was trying to send
Let me know if you change your mind
Hit me up if you want a good time
I only want us to have some fun
Please let me know cause I am not done
Change your mind
I've been here, sitting on the couch
Picturing you, missing that good looking view
I'm wondering what it is I should do?
I move on even though I don't care to
My days go back to being normal
Back to serving tables and acting formal
You still come to mind here and there
The way you smiled and your long dark hair
Let me know if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind
Hit me up if you want a good time, want a good time, want a good time
I only want us to have some fun
Please let me know cause I am not done
Change your mind
It's alright if you don't want me any more
You don't feel the same as you did before
But if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind
About us just remember I'm over here to give you love love love love love love love
Let me know if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind
Hit me up if you want a good time, want a good time, want a good time
I only want us to have some fun
Please let me know cause I am not done
Change your mind
Let me know if you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind
Hit me up if you want a good time, want a good time, want a good time
I only want us to have some fun
Please let me know cause I am not done
Change your mind, change your mind, change your mind
to be expected at the start
Eagerly couldn't get enough
Every day always calling each other up
You'd tell me I'm beautiful, I'd call you handsome
Then all of a sudden you became a phantom

Hit me up if you want a good time, want a good time, want a good time
I only want us to have some fun
Please let me know cause I am not done
Change your mind, change your mind, change your mind
12. mixed signals
You say words to me that touch my heart
You're so hard working, funny, and smart
You put me on a pedestal then applaud
You love my differences instead of finding them odd
You do this for a good night or two
Then other nights I feel like we might be through
You disappear into the dark
Tomorrow morning will be a fresh start
Mixed signals, you're so close and yet so far away
You're giving me mixed signals, I can't tell if you want me to go or stay
Baby, I can't tell what you want
You're giving me mixed signals
I can't tell what you want
After giving me so much love you'll vanish
It almost feels like I've been abandoned
But give it a little time and then you're back again
Ready to give me kisses and to hold my hand
And all those old feelings come rushing through my bloodstream
Physically and mentally you're both a nightmare and a dream
And it's so real that I'm totally convinced
But then you're gone again and it doesn't make sense
Mixed signals, he loves me he loves me not
You're giving me mixed signals, picking petals off of flowers filled with confusing thoughts
Oh baby, I can't tell what you want
You're giving me mixed signals, bring me honesty I'm not asking for a lot
Waiting for a phone call that won't come for weeks
Every time I'm ready to give up you finally speak
I deal with the distance cause it's ecstasy when we meet
On and off with you even though things can look so bleak
Mixed Signals, you're so close and yet so far away
You're giving me mixed signals, I can't tell if you want me to go or to stay
Baby I can't tell you what you want
Oh baby, I can't tell what you want
You're giving me mixed signals bring me honesty I'm not asking for a lot
You're giving me mixed signals
You're giving me mixed signals
You're giving me mixed signals
Baby, I can't tell what you want
You're so hard working, funny, and smart

13. giving up now
I've asked advice from my friends my family
I've read stacks of help books
Fading in and out of insanity
Fall for the bait then get hooked
Bending over backwards
Holding my breath
Afraid to make the wrong turns
My energy burned till there's nothing left
I've tried being nice
I've tried being rude
I've forgiven every fight
Dealt with every kind of attitude
I've prayed to the gods
I've wished for luck
I've asked help from dad and mom
But I always end up stuck
Chorus:
I've tried so many things
Gone different routes
Every day the pain still stings
I can hardly get off of the couch
Got any more ideas
Cause I'm starting to run out
I've attempted everything
So I'm giving up now
Giving up now
Giving up now
If there's a way to solve this
Well I don't know how
I can't think of any more
I've gone North, East, South, and West
The help we need is way beyond support
Just know that I really did try my best
I've climbed every mountain
Sailed every sea
How many days I can't count them
More like years I do believe
And you're always like
"Come here girl, good dog
Why don't you sit?"
and then you're all like
"What a good girl, don't go long
behave well and you won't get hit"
No to your commands
I won't roll over
I hope you can understand
I can't do this drunk or sober
I don't jump through hoops
And I'm not your pet dog
Can't do this just us or in a group
Can't believe I've been trying this hard for so long
Chorus
Giving up now
Giving up now
If there's a way to solve this
Well i don't know how
So I give up
Go ahead set me free
Oh, I've had enough
So I got to leave
So I give up, give up
Go ahead set me free
Oh, I've had enough
so I got to leave
Chorus
Giving up now
Giving up now
If there's a way to solve this

14. neighborhood
Get me out of here
Away from the drug addicts
Left in a place of fear
Not even sure how it happened
Yells and screams through the wall
Bumps and bangs
Appliances incorrectly installed
Chumps and change
Dark shadowed shapes
creep and crawl through the dark
I'm wide awake
I try to concentrate on my art
But some guy by the mailbox
Is dealing drugs
And the man in the robe and fuzzy socks
is watching everyone
And the girl at the corner
Is looking for a dollar
Leather and fishnet wardrobe
Need a good time give her a holla
Stray cats litter the streets
Along with cigarette butts
Hobos take a seat at the bus stop
covered in dirt and dust
Chorus:
This is my neighborhood
Leave, yeah, I know I should
But it's also kind of good
In a I don't have a lot of money kind of way
Staying in my neighborhood for another day
What can I say?
It's really cheap
I have to stay
So I can eat
Chorus
Don't have have a lot of money kind of way
Staying in my neighborhood for another day
Away from the drug addicts
Left in a place of fear
Not even sure how it happened
Yells and screams through the wall
Bumps and bangs
Appliances incorrectly installed
Chumps and change
Dark shadowed shapes
creep and crawl through the dark
I'm wide awake
I try to concentrate on my art
But some guy by the mailbox
Is dealing drugs
And the man in the robe and fuzzy socks
is watching everyone
And the girl at the corner
Is looking for a dollar
Leather and fishnet wardrobe
Need a good time give her a holla
Stray cats litter the streets
Along with cigarette butts
Hobos take a seat at the bus stop
covered in dirt and dust
Chorus:

Leave, yeah, I know I should
But it's also kind of good
In a I don't have a lot of money kind of way

15. unique
I've accepted the way things are
I can't change you, nor do I want to
In the end though it may tear us apart
These feelings inside, my hands are tied
It can be a challenge to let go
Narrowed eyes glare at the anger we share
Take a deep breath and go with the flow
And just get along, is that so wrong?
Chorus:
We all are different, we all are unique
We should celebrate love and not hate
Sometimes life don't make sense
But it's not our place to critique
Let's live in peace make the hate cease
We all are different we all are unique
I'm not gonna love absolutely everything
About you and me and everyone in between
Acceptance and respect will bring
More comfort and ease more green to the trees
No I won't always agree but I can't judge
No, I'd rather love
You and I have so many different beliefs
But it's beauty if you look a little more closely
Chorus
We all are different we all are unique
I can't change you, nor do I want to
In the end though it may tear us apart
These feelings inside, my hands are tied
It can be a challenge to let go
Narrowed eyes glare at the anger we share
Take a deep breath and go with the flow
And just get along, is that so wrong?
Chorus:
We all are different, we all are unique

16. I just wanted you in my life
My friends told me you were bad news
I didn't listen so now I'm playing the blues
I wanted to give the benefit of a doubt
But you messed up more times than I can count
I thought I saw a good side
But then again I must have been hypnotized
You got so close to me
I only wanted to see you happy
But it's not like how it used to be
La, da, da, da, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da, da, da, da,
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
When you touched me it raised goosebumps
Called me lovely for several months
But did you ever mean what you said?
Cause that look in your eyes tells me you wanna cut off my head
I don't know what is real and what's not
Am I more of an ordeal than you thought?
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
My friends told me you were bad news
I didn't listen so now I'm playing the blues
I wanted to give the benefit of a doubt
But you messed up more times than I can count
I thought I saw a good side
But then again I must have been hypnotized
You got so close to me
I only wanted to see you happy
But it's not like how it used to be
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
I didn't listen so now I'm playing the blues
I wanted to give the benefit of a doubt
But you messed up more times than I can count
I thought I saw a good side
But then again I must have been hypnotized
You got so close to me
I only wanted to see you happy
But it's not like how it used to be
La, da, da, da, da, da, da,
La, da, da, da, da, da, da,
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
I just wanted you in my life
When you touched me it raised goosebumps
Called me lovely for several months
But did you ever mean what you said?
Cause that look in your eyes tells me you wanna cut off my head
