HEADSTONE
Talk about taking a good thing too farYou take a good heart and play it too hard
An occupation when it isn’t a game
There's just compulsion running hot through your veins
But you like it like that
And you want it like that
Because you've told me before
But I'm not a fool
I've had enough of the pain
You've taken none of the blame
You’ve got my headstone made
I think I loose again
It's no surprise
The poison in your eyes
Why don't I ever learn
Why don't I ever realise
The confrontation's a tool that you use
How much affection can you afford to lose
You're using cruelty like a personal invention
These open arms it's like increasing intention.
And I've tried to fight back
But you bring it right back
And now there's nothing to face
Because you've been replaced.
I've had enough of the pain
You've taken none of the blame
You’ve got my headstone made
I think I loose again
It's no surprise
The poison in your eyes
Why don't I ever learn
Why don't I ever realise
HER NEEDS
She can see you want herYou can feel she knows
Suspicious of her reasons
You wonder where she goes
You can feel the tension
Tighten like a wire
It's nothing you can mention
But still it makes you tired
You won’t be used by her today
But you know it's just like every other day
You're fooled again
How long can you be there for her needs
I can hear you wonder
Just what you do it for
But the pressure that you're under
Makes you want her more
You won't be used by her today
But you know it's just like every other day
She plays to win
How long can you be there for her needs
FRAGILE
Fragile you never wereStanding up to building up to
Anger that will never show
Your limitations in self control
I don't want you back
I can't deal with that
’Cause everybody has to have a weakness
Somewhere
But never you
I'm coming undone
You rip me up so you can…
Have it your way
See it your way
You're the one on top now
And this is your day
Words magnetise.
They fascinate and terminate
Each breath separates
what you need from what you hate
I'm not just a right to use up when you like
And I don't want you drilling through my conscience
Pleasure under your control
It's not negotiable can't you see you have to…
Have it your way
See it your way
You're the one on top now
And this is your day
And I'm so weak just like you planned
And you're too strong to understand
Fragile you never were
Standing up to building up to
Anger that will never show
Your limitations in self control
I don't want you back cause I can't deal with that
And everybody has to have a weakness somewhere
But never you I'm coming undone
You rip me up so you can....
Have it your way
See it your way
You're the one on top now
And this is your day
And I'm so weak just like you planned
And you're too strong to understand
STATE OF MIND
I, I needed to see how far you would take meCause any further than this is a place I would rather miss
Had to move on
Almost trusted you with my love
Had to make sense of all your interest
It will only take one thing
This time to realise your state of mind
Cause I can be used beaten and bruised
To justify your state of mind
But I won't be fooled - this time
I was the seed that grew from your treachery
And I was the taste that opened up the mouth of your mistake
It will only take one thing this time
To realise your state of mind
Cause I can be used beaten and bruised
To justify your state of mind
But I won't be fooled - this time
From ordinary words and ordinary days
Something impossible came
Made you a liar to feed a desire
To break my heart again
It will only take one thing
This time to realise your state of mind
Cause I can be used beaten and bruised
To justify your state of mind
But I won't be fooled - this time
SYMPATHY
Here you are pushing twenty oneAnd you've got nothing left to do
Say the sun shines last on you
You're popping pills to make it true
But don't leave here with my advice
As if it's right to listen to
Because I could never live up to this
I couldn't stand for this
I couldn't give respect to you
What do you get from me
This much I'll never see
What do you get for being here
Signed sealed sympathy
Here we are talking so sincerely
Like a lie could break us two
I could never lie to forgiving eyes
But I can lie so well to you
Friends can mean such different things
But friends have never been like this
Because I know that it's a different thing
That only pain could bring
And it's a pain that starts with you
What do you get from me
This much I'll never see
What do you get for being here
Signed sealed sympathy
This is the way
This is the price
No one ever makes it taking losers advice
This is the point that can't be refused
Sympathy is something that can never be used
Here you are pushing twenty two
And there's a world that's closing fast
You never had the time to
Sit this long
To find that you belong
And now that time has passed
What do you get from me
This much I'll never see
What do you get for being here
Signed sealed sympathy
HURT
Don't talk to me about living a lieMisery is more than just a tear in the eye
Because you don't feel anything that can't be explained
By shallow mined people that you've chosen to blame
Don't rely on sympathy to carry it through
Because they don't believe it more than I believe you
You don't feel anything you don't see anything
It's up to you to change
But here you go again
You don't feel the hurt like I do
You don't feel betrayed the way I do
You don't feel the hurt like I do
So don't say to me you've been there too.
Don't scream at me as if you're losing your hold
You won't mess with anyone that can't be controlled
Modesty was never such a weakness in you
I've never seen it figure in the things that you do
You won't take the side losing its pride
Never heard from anyone that you can be kind
You don't know anything you can't touch anything
It's up to you to see
But now you come to me
You don't feel the hurt like I do
You don't feel betrayed the way I do
You don't feel the hurt like I do
So don't say to me you've been there too.
Of all the people there could be you had to tell your lies to me
Of all the people there could be it had to be you.
You don't feel the hurt like I do
You don't feel betrayed the way I do
You don't feel the hurt like I do
So don't say to me you've been there too.
Don't talk to me about living a lie
Because misery is more than just a tear in the eye.
SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN
I thought I'd beaten you off onceI thought I was out of this trap once
I said I'd never be like this
I said I'd never stop wishing I was somewhere else
Someone to be
Not myself
To much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
I'll never slice through like a sharp knife
Could have had money and a good live
Now I suffocate in my dreams
Sat in the back with the cold cold vision that there's someone else
Someone to be
Not myself
To much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
I never took the chance with a clean break
The chance that you get but you don't take
Far too weak to be like that
Far to stupid to be thinking that there's somewhere else
Someone to be
Not myself
To much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
Somewhere else, Someone to be
Not myself to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
SO IMPORTANT
IncredibleA lie so terrible
Took it in a thousand ways
Took from me the best of days
I wish it wasn't so important
Because I could look away
I wish it only mattered sometimes
I hope it doesn't matter one day
Friend of mine you misery was occupied
Faded away kill me softly everyday
I wish it wasn't so important
Because I could look away
I wish it only mattered sometimes
I hope it doesn't matter one day
I'm telling you I'm never giving you this chance again
And all I can do is abandon this whole war of blame
I'm a fool
I should have never been so gullible
Maybe it was long ago
But I can hate you more than you could know
I wish it wasn't so important
Because I could look away
I wish it only mattered sometimes
I hope it doesn't matter one day
