My love was burning me to death, To death My love was burning me to death, To death I fell off my feet Into the back of your head I'm trying to make some sense out of this But I get so tired of conversation My love was draining all my blood All my blood My love was draining all my blood All my blood I fell off my feet Into your strong arms I'm trying to make some sense out of this But I get so tired of conversation My love was leaving me alone All alone My love was leaving me alone All alone

Sweep me out of here Memory remains Do not speak to me that way anymore Do not speak to me that way anymore please After I dropped out I really lost it Hold onto me dear before I evaporate Hold onto me dear before I am gone please Can we have some fun I miss when we did Hold me in your palm until I evaporate Hold me in your palm until I am gone please Sweep me out of here Memory remains Do not speak to me that way anymore Do not speak to me that way anymore please

This is not my life I'm looking in through someone else's eyes This is not my life, it just can't be This is not my life I'm in the back seat I'm watching these things happening to me This is not my life, it just can't be I'm spending the night at someone else's house This is not my life, it just can't be I'm in the back seat I'm watching these things happening to me This is not my life, it just can't be This is not my life

Crossing down the line, down the line Fell and bumped my head, now I'm dead Cross my heart and hope to die I was sweeping out my lungs You were catching butterflies Cherry blossoms in my eyes How else can I show my love? How can I tell you What you do really stresses me out Crossing down the line, down the line Fell and bumped my head, now I'm dead Cross my heart and hope to die I was sweeping out my lungs You were catching butterflies Cherry blossoms in my eyes How else can I show my love? How can I get you to tell me what you're thinking at night

I am ready to die, oh yes I am Nothing matters to me anymore I swam down the river to die You look so unwell I just want to see you happy again Though it brings me pain I am trying to be honest with you I am ready to die, oh yes I am Nothing matters to me anymore I swam down the river to die You look like someone That I used to know from way back home Nevermind all that Tonight let's just try to have some fun I am ready to die, oh yes I am Nothing matters to me anymore I swam down the river to die You thought you could save me and Jumped right into the water And swam right towards me But it was too late I sank like a rock to the bottom Till my feet touched the ground Then into the bedroom, you walked away All dressed in linen And I fell apart, Sitting by your bedroom window Drawing spaceships on my arms Little green plastic bags Float all around this city And the head of a goat Sits on the steps of Anyone who wears their shoes to bed

Better 01:56
But you dirty everything you touch I could never get enough of you Feels so good to rest my eyes I've been feeling so much better But you do it with a smile And you hurt everyone you touch Feels so good to just lie down I've been feeling so much better

I feel myself entering a very dark phase Each wave comes stronger than the one before But this might be the last one for a while This might be the last one for a while Yesterday Was so sweet To me I feel some strange pressure bearing down on me I feel your cold hands on the back of my neck But this might be the last one for a while This might be the last one for a while Other men Are so sweet To me I see the moon rising over the hill Our blood runs thick at the sight of your face But this might be the last one for a while This might be the last one for a while
8.
Though I may still Get your memories confused I want to tell you that I am so sorry for What I did to you Though I may fall Back into another gloom I want to tell you that I am so happy here With you Little creatures are making their homes Inside my head again Evil thoughts are making their homes Inside my head again
9.
Though we may play such different parts You are my sail and I want to thank you from The bottom of My heart And you don't have to change a thing No you don't have to change a thing You don't have to change anything You don't have to change a thing Let's try to enjoy our first show After all, you only get one of those, you know And you don't have to say a thing No you don't have to say a thing You don't have to say anything You don't have to say a thing
10.
But you're still standing there soaked to the bone I try not to think about it too often Maybe you could come over sometime I try not to do it too often Traveler, Lay your head on the pavement, Sing your worries to death God, you've really made your mark on me I look for you everywhere that I go There must be some kind of magic at work here I've never been so tired in my life Traveler, Lay your head on the pavement, Sing your worries to death

Talk to You 02:58
I mean, I'm not trying to make a masterpiece here I'm just doing the best that I can with what I have available to me It's a lot easier to do things in your head Than it is to sit down and really make it happen Now can I just be honest with you for one second? I'm really not having any fun with this I'm just pressing on because I said I would God this sucks, I don't wanna be here anymore It only hurts cause he made it so sharp I talk to you cause it makes me so happy I wouldn't do it if it wasn't so fun I talk to you because you make me happy I mean, between my 9-5 and all the other shit I have going on I really don't have time for this I really, really, really don't Like I'm glad that my stuff can make other people happy But I hate hearing my own stupid voice all day long It only hurts cause he made it so sharp I talk to you cause it makes me so happy I wouldn't do it if it wasn't so fun I talk to you because you make me happy

It's impossible To exist in A world that Has no place for me I want to be Visible only in My reflection or By my shadow from Across the room I only want to be remembered by you I only want to be remembered by you I only want to be remembered by you I only want to be remembered by you It's impossible To make sense of The world that We've been born into We are children Cast aside by Mother nature and Forced to grow up in An empty room I only want to be remembered by you I only want to be remembered by you God, I was so lonely before I met you I only want to be remembered by you
