INVOLVED
You took a chance if you thought they'd let you forget the painYou should have known from the moment you stole from the net again
I'd give you a line
I'd give you my undivided time
Not for the cure
Cause that takes so much more
So I want to see you try to shake this one off
I want to see you running out of control
Selling your soul
To carry this one off
I want to hear you reading up on your vows
Wondering how you got involved
It's only fair
You said you'd never be there
But now your starting to sweat
Tiny beads of regret
And all for the sake
Of what little you take
Of what little you take
Don't you pick up the phone
Cause they know that your at home
And the shadows are long
When your drinking alone
I want to see you running out of control
Selling your soul
To carry this one off
I want to hear you reading up on your vows
Wondering how you got involved.
LAST BREATH OF YOU
Maybe I've been hurtMaybe I've been saved for something worse
can't say
If you asked me now
what's in a crowd?
there's thousands of faces
with thousands of ways to be hurt for free
But this I know I always make the friends that never stay
I always make the friends that never stay
Feelings can't be felt
I couldn't let the ground beneath me melt.
Not me
They spread things about
they twist things around
the mask is a screen till the whispers are so loud they hurt
I tried to stay
That someone could of made up something so cruel
that someone could of poisoned that last mouthful of you
that someone could of played with something untrue
that took such delight in the last breath of you
Couldn't bear to stay
Couldn't tear away
is that emotional
or reproachable
But this I know
I always make amends when it's too late
I always make amends when it's too late
Was there something I could of said
Something I did
Someone I could of called
Something I read
They spread things about
they twist things around
the mask is a screen till the whispers are so loud they hurt
I tried to stay
That someone could of made up something so cruel
that someone could of poisoned that last mouthful of you
that someone could of played with something untrue
that took such delight in the last breath of you
I ONLY WANTED TO
Empty thoughts could be so cruelbut empty words make life so full
said I owed it all to you
So I took the measure of your pleasure
You thought you knew my simple heart
But you didn't recognise the crucial part
its always too soon
stepped out of line too far this time
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do
You fold like paper in my hands
You fell for everything I planned
You didn't see it till it touched your sweet face
Made me you hate me
Never forgave me
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do
Violently the moment came
and someone knew they'd take the blame
a viscous streak a mile wide
so you learnt the hard way
but who cares any way
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do
YOU DIDN'T WANT ME
This is why I'm alone tonightThis is why I've got no appetite
For fighting and biting.
For lying and sniping
For talking of one thing,
And doing another
Blaming each other
I never thought I'd sacrifice this much for you
I never meant to jeopardise my fun for you
Because you didn't want me
You never cried for me at all
You didn't love me
You were too far above me
Then you watched me take the fall
Here is why I now contemplate
Here is why I should celebrate
No more hurting and using.
The spitting and bruising
Breaking a promise,
Saying I'm sorry
Pretending to worry
I never thought I'd have to take this much from you
I wish I'd never used this precious time on you
Because you didn't want me
You never cried for me at all
You didn't love me
You were too far above me
Then you watched me take the fall
I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW
You can tell white liesAnd walk away from here
You can tell your side
And never see the clear
And you can tell it all
I'll stop you if you stray
And save you saying something you should never say
And you can spell it out
I'll help you win the day
And I will stop you saying something
You could have his hands
Wrapped around your throat
And you could see your face
Covered with your coat
And you can tell it all
I'll stop you if you stray
And save you saying something you should never say
And you can spell it out
I'll help you win the day
And I will stop you saying something
I don't think they know
They didn't see you arrive
They didn't here you go
I don't think they know
They didn't see you arrive
They didn't here you go
If you find a brave face
And wear it for the day
I will find a suitcase
And we could melt away
And you can tell it all
I'll stop you if you stray
And save you saying something you should never say And you can spell it out
I'll help you win the day
And I will stop you saying something....
I don't think they know
They didn't see you arrive
They didn't here you go
SOMETHING WRONG
Do you think I'd say anythingDo you think I'd just come out and say what I feel
We've had some sticky moments
We've talked ourselves out now and everything's real
And each passing day
Is one day to much
You take it out twice on the people you touch
And each passing Hour
Is time with no end
Is this the something we're unable to mend
Do you think I could sit here
And talk about the things that go on in my head
I've sorted things out now
Faced up to it over and over again
And why should I explain
If no-one else complains
Neurotic and boring
Reliable you
And how can I just run
When nothing can be done
I don't know myself now but I can hear
There's something wrong In something you said
It's just a feeling this is not what I wanted
There's something cold In the way you touch me
It's just a feeling that you're better without me
I just need a minute
I just need to scrape all this filth off my hands
Has anything changed now
No, nothing is pure
There's just yellow and brown
But how am I sure
That you lost no more
Than family and friends over someone before.
And anything now
Is pushing my luck
And you'll break this silence
But I can hear
There's something wrong In something you said
It's just a feeling this is not what I wanted
There's something cold In the way you touch me
It's just a feeling that you're better without me
SHATTERS
(I don't believe you anymore)Put away those eyes
Stop your mouth from moving, its only breath and lies
Bite down, kill the words
They'll only poison you they'll make you stomach burn
No heaven inside
Just mistrust and lies
In you bedroom so warm
This sickness was born
You could've stopped a scene
You couldn't want it cause you always live so clean
In your smile, there's no belief
Those lips are cracking now
Just like the flesh beneath
No feeling and no tears
Just wasted so much
Wasted years
Your hands, so old
Your beauty so cold
I don't belong with you
Cause everyone is broken that you know
I need dreams to cling to
Cause everything shatters around you
You didn't need a friend
You just needed sympathy
You just need an ear to bend
Took all that I could give
So tired of giving now
I can't live the way you live
Empty, Resigned
Choking and blind
Your pleasure
Was my fate
But your kindness
Was too late
I don't belong with you
Cause everyone is broken that you know
I need dreams to cling to
Cause everything shatters around you
DESPISED
Yesterday you saidWe could have been a team
Us and them - You and me
Why was I surprised
You wished that you were dead
Everything because of me
You were the sweetest thing I'd tasted
How could I ever want for more
But you didn't understand
You didn't need the things I am
And everyday I fantasise
But that was then
and this is life
In every way I've paid the price
To be with you
To be despised
Yesterday you said
You'd never felt so high
With anyone, in your whole life
But look at me
Tell me it's a lie
There's nothing further from your mind
And you took more than I ever gave you
I couldn't ever tell a soul
You didn't need me as a friend
You just took me to the end
And everyday I fantasise
But that was then
and this is life
In every way I've paid the price
To be with you
To be despised
CONFINED
How can you accept it's just the wayWhen everyday's the same old wash of grey
Everyday the air just tastes the same
And everywhere I look there's nothing new
Soaked through with the subtle shades of blue
And now you say you're happy here with me
How can you be?
Are you and me in this place forever?
Are you and me in this place forever?
Stuck in this hole together
Couldn't be the one who's never tried
To get a better grip on another life
To get another view from my front room
You say I've got ideas above my place
That I try to deny what is harder to face
I say I'm going in and I'm coming through
So why not you?
Are you and me in this place forever?
Are you and me in this place forever?
Stuck in this hole together
