Track Listing

1. My Life Would Suck Without YouListen

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

(Chorus)
Cuz we belong together now, yea
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Maybe I was stupid
For telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong
For tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out I'm nothing without you

(Chorus)

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you,
But I can't let you go,
Oh yeah

{ music break}

Cuz we belong together now, yea yea
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Cuz we belong (yeah) together now (together now), (yeah)

Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
2. I Do Not Hook UpListen

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down
You got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There’s a cure you found it
Slow motion sparks
You caught that chill
Now don’t deny it
But boys will be boys
Oh yes they will
They don’t wanna define it

Just give up the game and get into me
If you’re looking for thrills then get cold feet…

Oh no I do not hook up up
I go slow
So if you want me
I don’t come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
And your heart on your sleeve
Oh no I do not hook up up
I fall deep
‘Cause the more that you try
The harder I’ll fight
To say…goodnight

I can’t cook no but I can clean…
Up the mess she left
Lay your head down and feel the beats
As I kiss your forehead
This may not last
But this is now
So love the one you’re with

You want a chase
But you’re chasing your tail
A quick fix won’t ever get you well

CHORUS

‘Cause I feel
The distance
Between us
Could be over
With a snap of your finger

CHORUS

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down
‘Cause you don’t wanna miss out
3. CryListen

If anyone asks
I'll tell them we both just moved on
When people all stare
I'll pretend that I don't hear them talk
Whenever I see you
I'll swallow my pride and bite my tongue
Pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong

Is it over yet
Can I open my eyes
Is this as hard as it gets
Is this what it feels like to really cry
Cry

If anyone asks
I'll tell them we just grew apart
What do I care if they believe me or not
Whenever I feel your memory is breaking my heart
I'll pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong

CHORUS

I'm talking in circles
I'm lying, they know it
Why won't this just all go away

CHORUS
4. Don't Let Me Stop YouListen

I used to be a little bit shy
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my
Emotions has always been hard

But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without you explaining what we are

This is gonna sound kind of silly
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes open

Baby can you tell me what does that mean
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on

Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't want to stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance get over you

Don't let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you

A lot of things I can take
Got a high threshold for pain
But let's get one thing straight
I'm not down to share you with anyone

If that's not what you're looking for
Nice knowing you but there's the door
'Cause I know that I could find someone
Who'll give me what I want

CHORUS

Even if I end up broken hearted
I won't lie, I don't wanna hear goodbye
But either way I'll be alright

CHORUS
5. All I Ever WantedListen

Tear up the photographs
But yesterday won't let go
Every day every day every minute

Here comes the emptiness
Just can't leave lonely alone
Every day every day...hey hey

This second chancin's really gettin' me down
You givin' takin' everything I dreamed about
It's time you let me know let me know just let go...

All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every lie reveals the truth
Baby 'cause all I ever wanted...all I ever wanted was...you

I'd rather walk alone
Don't wanna chase you around
Every day every day every minute

I'd fall a thousand times
'Fore I let you drag me down
Every day every day...hey hey

Your new beginning was a perfect ending
But I keep feeling...we've already been here before
It's time you let me know let me know just let go...

CHORUS

Tell me with so many out there why I always turn to you
Your goodbyes tear me down every time
And it's so easy to see...
That the blame is on me

CHORUS
6. Already GoneListen

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die...
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so I love you enough to let you go

CHORUS

You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

Ahhhh-already gone, already gone, already gone
Ahhhh-already gone, already gone, already gone

Remember all the things we wanted,
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye...

CHORUS

U can't make it feel right
When u know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, Already gone,
There's no moving on,
So I'm already gone
7. If I Can't Have YouListen

Hearts break too fast when they're sentimental
Won't stay, won't last when it's love at first sight
So why are my convictions blinded by your spotlight

Can't breath, can't sleep
Need some medication
I've kissed goodbye to my reservations
I know there's other fish out in the sea
Not for me ....I want you

If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
I don't want anyone
If I can't have you
Then only damage has been done, baby
We can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you will lose

If I can't have you
If I can't have you

Heartbeat, cold sweat
Thoughts slippin' under
Can't fight, no threat
Cause there's just no use
One look, no hesitation I'm slippin' into you

Forgive these eyes, these lips you're tastin'
No time to waste on an invitation
My shame, my self-control has suffered enough
And everybody wants to be loved

CHORUS

If I can't have you
If I can't have you

I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfection's always right around the corner
Could be true
But if I can't have you ....

CHORUS

If I can't have you
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
Think of all the love that you will lose
If I can't have you
8. Save YouListen

I can tell
I can tell how much you hate this
And deep down inside
You know its killin' me
I can call
Wish you well
And try to change this
But nothing I can say
Would change anything

Where were my senses
I left them all behind
Why did I turn away

I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

Didn't mean
Didn't mean to leave you stranded
Went away 'cause I didn't want to face the truth
Reachin' out
Reach for me empty handed
You don't know if I care you're tryin' to find the proof

There were times I'd wonder
Could I have eased your pain
Why did I turn away
Away

I wish I could save you
I wish I could say to you
I'm not goin nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Its gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could save you

We can pretend nothing's changed
Pretend it's all the same
And there will be no pain tonight

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Its gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could save you
I'm not goin' nowhere
I wish I could say to you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Its gonna be alright
Save you
I wish I could save you
9. WhyyawannabringmedownListen

This situation if it gets any deeper could be critical
I'm not your love monkey so be takin' back all of the lies you sold
What did you want me to be yeah
It's just too much now so tell me so tell me so tell me
1 2 3 4

So what's your evil attitude
When you got me spendin' my time pleasing you
Why must you keep me underground
Tell me tell me why you wanna bring me down
Is that too much to give a damn
When I'm givin' you one hundred and ten
Don't blink 'cause I won't be around
Tell me tell me why you wanna bring me down N

ow your transmission is on the negative you're on a losin' streak
This information is getting' ordinary and you're losin' me
What's with your hostility
Oh when the light's on me
When you're down to the last chance
So tell me so tell me so tell me
Uno dos tres quatro

CHORUS

Was it all just a waste of time
Well I don't wanna spend my whole life thinkin' 'bout it
Baby this is where I draw the line
I think I'm done...
Somebody!

CHORUS
10. Long ShotListen

I felt it
The wire touched my neck and
Then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming
I started to black out and
Then someone said good morning
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming
So now I'll take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not
I Don't think we saw it coming
It's all adding up to something
That asks for some involvement
That asks for a commitment
I think I see it coming
If we step out on that limb

My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability

It's a long shot and I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat the odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take the long shot

I realize that there is all this doubting
Things we're both scared about but
We'll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind and
We'll see which way it's blowing
And into this fully knowing
We'll never see it coming
Until it's much to close to stop

CHORUS

Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it even though

CHORUS

You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw me coming
You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw this coming

I take the long shot
I take the long shot, shot, shot, shot, shot
Cuz you're the best I got

Oh I'm taking this chance on you baby
I'm taking this chance on you baby
I'm taking this chance
11. ImpossibleListen

Spoke up and thought I'dtry ....
Try to step across the line
You know that I've been thinkin' 'bout it for a while, yeah

Startin' to think it's time I kneel
Does me good to know I finally feel
Feel this pain, it's real
It's possible

You say

Can't change the winds, you say
Won't matter anyway
Can't reach that far 'cause it's impossible
It's impossible
Can't rise above this place
Won't change your mind so I pray
Breakin' down the walls
Do the impossible

Walkin' by myself I know
This lonely road's becomin' my new home
But I don't stop, I just keep movin' on ....and on

Ain't no need to dry my eyes
I haven''t cried in quite some time
Everyday I fight it You know it's possible

You say

CHORUS

Can someone tell me why it's so hard takin' chances
You draw the line and think that I won't ask for more, yeah
I will stumble and I'll make my own mistakes yeah
But I won't worry 'bout it anymore
It's impossible

CHORUS

It's impossible to you
Not impossible for me
Not impossible for me

Spoke up and thought I'd try ....
Try to step across the line
12. ReadyListen

Frozen
Forgetful again
The part where I lose my head
The scene where I'm supposed to speak
But instead ....

I sit and listen again
I'm stuck with these cards, I guess

Leaping from this cliff in my thoughts
I fly like the stones in my heart
Drowning in doubt for what reason

I sit so patiently
Drenched in what you want me to be
I can't escape

I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Oh I'm ready now
Come get me

Fearless
With cape in hand
Conquer what I need to mend
Little girls get so broken

But I sit so patiently
Drenched in what you want me to be
I can't seem to escape

CHORUS

Through with golden roads and perfect love
Too much of your mouth is like too much sun
How I burn, how I burn
I was so patient waitin' for my turn

I fly like stones
As I break every bone ....come get me

CHORUS
13. I Want YouListen

Hot temper with the shortest fuse ....you're
Such a mess with an attitude ....you're
Workin' hard but you're payin' more ....you
Never talk 'cause you don't have to, you
Gotta job but you hate the man who
Takes it all like 'uncle sam' I want you
I want you

Outta gas so you walk for miles to
Pick me up in your worn out shoes, you
Never settle, never take too much, you
Count on me just like I count on you
Kiss me, like when I first saw you
Figured out I couldn't be without you

You
I want you (3X)

No one else will do (I want)
No one makes me smile (I want)
No one gets me how (I want)
No one else is you I want you (4X)

You're so hot tempered
With the shortest fuse
You're such a mess
And with an attitude

You
I want you (3X)

No one else will do (I want)
No one makes me smile (I want)
No one gets me how (I want)
No one else is you

I want you (5X)

You and me walkin' together
Screwing up for worse or for better

You
I want you
14. If No One Will ListenListen

Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do you think there's enough that you would drown?

If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one's left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still

No one can tell you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
Screaming every step, “just stay here”

CHORUS

If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
