alright, i can say what you want me to


i didn't know this town was only for lovers
i'll be catching the next train out
seems only wrong love follows me around
but i learnt the hard way
that people don't mean what they say
so when you say i love you
i hear you being untrue
so when you say you love me
i know there's no guarantee.

keep your love locked down



mister, you're a thief.
you see, you stole my heart
so now it's back to the start
it was ruby red
newly stitched up by thread
and part of me let you take it
that's something i must admit
but you paid no attention 
while you forgot to mention
you'd break my heart after all
i would have held on tighter
i would have been a fighter
but little did i know 
i'd have to pick out patches
to hide your scars 
with a color that matches
pretend and keep it covered
so nobody could know how i've suffered

you got me all wrong












ripped up jeans remind me of you
that nobody band and that midnight shade of blue
the smell of cologne hiding cigarette musk
the sandy beach we slept on at dusk
the city lights remind me of you
the cold mountain air, your jaded tattoo
i wonder if you walk the streets, ever thinking of me
because i can't get you out of my head.
no matter my plea.

blue to gray, grow up and blow away













i've been running 'round this city for hours and days
honey i promise that it's just a phase
looking for nothing but finding so many clues
'cause now that you're gone i have nothing to lose
picked all the petals 
and found out the truth
"he loves me not"
i've wasted my youth
i promised myself i'd erase you
i can't and it's way overdue
my head's in a daze but my feet are on the ground
i'm not lost i just want to be found.

your smile is a pleasant change from before

my song is love

I don't get you 
I can't forget what you've forgotten
all along I've never been so alone

don't cry out ,cease fire

I was pretending
Your secret kiss of confidence
Was my escape
The perfect game to play

Ten nine eight and I'm breaking away
I'm all dressed up and I'm ready to play
Seven six five four and I'm all over you
Counting three two one and I'm having fun

je te connais par coeur


these are the words i can't find the courage for
the ones that haunt me 
the ones i can't ignore
no more secrets no more lies
time to fess up. nothing left to deny
i'm not in love with you anymore
it's harder to admit than you think
i was finally over you but then i blinked
now i need you to disappear
because it's been long enough, almost a year
let's say it now and truly mean it
our love's gone
we can finally admit

you could be happy



















she's just a girl who wanted to forget him
but he's just that boy who kept drawing her in
she burnt all his letters and learned to forget his name
he came back. her heart was broken. he was to blame
she took her chances, she took the risk
because that boy was too hard to resist
she didn't want to be alone
but still his intentions remained unknown

sunrise to sunset, summer to fall
 do people r e a l l y change after all?

you finished every breath for me












i'm not playing hide and seek
truth is, i'm trying. i'm just too weak.
maybe if you found me while i was getting lost
that line separating us, would have never been crossed
i guess it's what you get for playing with fire
but i didn't know heartbreak came with what i couldn't help but desire
i'm not blaming you for how i've been so blind
im only blaming you for leaving me behind
everybodycomesandgoes
but you're the one my heart chose.

cauchemars d'amour


je sais la verité
que ca ne marcherais jamais
mais je veux le croire
croire en toi et moi ce soir 
on peut oublier la realité
et on peut mettre nos doutes de côté,
un nuit seulement, nous deux comme on etait
en amour et souriant
mais ma cherie, demain je réveillerai
et je serai brève
car c'est juste 
une rêve

well do you want to fall apart

there's a fine line between you and me, and what used to be
you convinced me that we're meant to be, you told me it was destiny
baby, for you i gave my all
but soon you were gone, no one there to catch my fall
you fooled me.
was i really that naive?
baby,you made it so easy to believe
all the questions that were unanswered remain
but i'm ready to let go now
you hurt me and broke me
there's nothing left to explain.
