It's all so clear, yet I'm confused It's in the air, it's on the news All that I want, all I could choose Could not compare to thoughts of you When we were friends It never ends Your memories, they penetrate They're keeping me from sleeping though I'm half-awake Believe you me, on my dying day I will still remember how we used to play All day I'm always here, my mind's astray My thoughts are clear, I can't complain I pretend you're near, to fool my brain Your memory's all that remains Of when we were friends It never ends So vividly, your words remain And keep me from believing that you've gone away My thoughts exposed, put on display Are keeping me from breathing Now I can't escape Believe you me: On my dying day I will still remember how we used to play Play, hey Whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa Woo ooh ooh Woo ooh ooh Woo ooh ooh
2.
What's your name? How've you been? May I kiss your cheek, or hold your hand? Oh where are priorities when you need them? Disbelief settles in My lips won't speak; not again Oh why is our biology so misleading? Save me from all the lies and pain Oh won't you save me from me? At your feet, I bow my head You remind me that I'm not dead Oh where have you been all my life till this evening? Save me from all the lies and shame Oh can't you save me from me? Had to abandon all reason Although that is treason I don't have much reason to stay Walked away, head in hands I'll sleep all day, until it mends Revitalized from all the love I'm receiving So save me from all the lies and pain Oh can't you save me from me? Save me, please save, please save me from me

I feel sorrow, I feel shame I feel almost everything But I just can't feel happy anymore I feel torment, I feel pain I feel endless suffering And I don't want to be here anymore Because I feel so alone, and I've lost all inspiration But my problems always seem to stick around Just know that I believe there is nothing left to believe in But I believe I'm better off underground I once felt your warm embrace I once kissed your lovely face But I don't get to do that anymore So take my money, take my things Take my pride, and wear my ring But I don't want to be here anymore Because I feel so alone, and I've lost all inspiration But my problems always seem to stick around Just know that I believe there is nothing left to believe in But I believe I'm better off underground You alone have saved me from ending my own life When your message hit my screen and it just brightened my whole night And I felt a rush of dopamine and serotonin hit my brain What the hell is wrong with me? I must be insane You're with him, but you can't leave You're a goddess- he's a cheat And I don't think you're happy anymore Patiently I'll sit and wait Serve my sentence, bound by fate And I don't want to be here anymore I don't want to be here anymore I don't want to be here anymore

Well it seemed to me that things were happy as things can be So I just can't understand just why you had to go but you packed your bags and left a note by the door Baby, what for? Now it seems as though I just do not have a thing to show For all I've lost, and I can't believe it's come to this So I grit my teeth and shake my fist at the sky Screaming out "Why?!" Until I find another girl who's just like you But she'll be prettier and always speak the truth She'll be so warm and sweet, and kind to me So I guess she really won't be much like you Well it seems that I will make it through, gonna need some time To pack and move, but it's hard to leave anything behind When my sheets and clothes and things remind me of you What will I do? Until I find another girl who's just like you And she'll be prettier and always speak the truth She'll be so warm and sweet, and kind to me So I guess she really won't be much like you I'll burn my sheets, and everything, until there's nothing left and she, is nothing but a distant memory! It seems to me that things are back to how things should be And I'm so happy to spend my time with someone who Understands the tortures I've been through and appreciates the things I do- Never would have found her without you- I've finally Found another girl who's not like you And she's so beautiful and always speaks the truth And she's so warm and sweet, and takes care of me So I guess she really isn't much like you Oh no! Well I guess she really isn't much like you! You know she really isn't much like you You know she really isn't much like you You know she really isn't much like you You know she really isn't much like you

Once upon a time there was a girl who nearly made me lose my mind She was one of a kind, she truly was sublime, oh yeah Now beauty such as this should not exist, you know it ought to be a crime She makes me high- she truly blows my mind, oh yeah Cause she is like a drug, and I just can not get enough And now I have withdrawn from everything and everyone Cause she is all I need, oh god I hope she sticks around Cause when she leaves my world comes crashing down And once you've had a taste you can't escape, you'll never be the same again You can't be friends, at best you can pretend, oh no And there's no hope for me but hopefully this isn't how the story ends For us to win, we have to score again. Oh, no Cause she is like a drug, and I just can not get enough And now I have withdrawn from everything and everyone Cause she is all I need, oh god I hope she sticks around Cause when she leaves my world comes crashing down Hiding from the sun is so much fun Have we become curmudgeons? Reclusive misanthropes on the run. What can be done? Nothing lasts forever, like the weather, things were bound to finally change She ran away, I text her every day. Oh yeah I'm not feeling well, I fell like Hell would be a better place to stay My body aches, and she's the only thing I crave, YEAHHH! Cause she was like a drug, and I just could not get enough And I seem to have lost all of the things I used to love Cause she was all I needed, god I wish she'd stuck around But now she's gone and my world's turned upside down Whoa oh oh, it's upside down Whoa oh oh, it's crashing down Whoa oh oh, it's crashing down Whoa oh oh, it's crashing down
7.
As I lay in your arms every night Wide awake till the warm morning light I can tell by the smile on your face That you're dreaming of warm summer days When we would ride our bikes and play Until the sun went down and our moms call our names Sometimes when I feel the breeze As I stand outside beneath the trees I look up, enchanted by the leaves as they blow And some nights when I feel the need I'll go stand outside beneath the trees And I'll watch the lightning bugs all eve as they glow Oh oh oh oh oh As we walk through the warm summer rain Not a reason at all to complain I believe that we're happier now Than the gods, and that fate should allow And it just gets better from here We just hold hands and all of our problems disappear And when the stars shine down on me, and illuminate your face I remember when we would sneak, out to look at the Milky Way And as we'd formulate our dreams, nothing could stand in our way And our problems seemed so small, as they'd all melt away
8.
I spent the night staring out of the window Spent the night with the cool winter air Spent the night on the sheets, kept the stars within reach Cause I know that she’s out there somewhere I drove all night through the streets of the city Drove all night without worry or care Drove all night through the streets, kept the stars within reach Cause I know that she’s out there somewhere Looking for me, guided by the stars Searching for me, oh girl, you can't be that far Away from me, hmmmmm, hmmmmm Oooh oooh, oooh oooh I walked all night to a beach near the ocean Walked all night through the cool, misty air Walked all night on the beach, kept the stars within reach Cause I know that she’s out there somewhere Looking for me, guided by the stars Searching for me, oh girl, you can't be that far Away from me, hmmmmm, hmmmmm Oooh oooh, oooh oooh Baby we belong together like the waves and sunny weather every day Let's run away We'll live our lives on the beach near the ocean Live our lives without worry or care Live our lives on the beach, with the sand at our feet And the stars are all ours now to share- Just you and me, guided by the stars Perfect and free- I know you'll never go far Away from me I will never be the same now that I know That true love can never fade and you'll never go I will never be the same now that I know That true love can never fade and you'll never go I will never be the same now that I know That true love can never fade and you'll never go Away from me, away from me, away from me
9.
Oh, I just don't know where I should go So baby show me so I'll know Cause you'd just to lead the way I'd follow you anyplace Cause I would much rather lose my way with you Than go without you, babe So why lay down and die, or frown and cry, When I could just be by your side? Whoa If you just locked yourself away I'd follow you anyway Cause I would much rather suffocate Than go without you one more day Don't throw it all away, don't throw it all away Don't throw it all away, away! If you just locked yourself away I'd follow you anyway Cause I would much rather suffocate with you Than go without you (Babe) If you just wanted to leave today (Leave today) I promise I wouldn't hesitate (Celebrate) We'll leave right then and just celebrate (Our youth) Our youth, so don't throw it all away
10.
Staring in the mirror, who's that looking back at me? Is this my reflection, or do my eyes just deceive? Looking out the window, people stop and stare at me From behind this glass it feels like I am on TV Our lives are perfect now we're celebrities We follow all the trends of society I'll grow my beard out baby, you'll stick with me They'll dig up dirt on us for the world to see Just forget tomorrow- all that matters is today We'll live without regret, who needs a future anyway? We'll see all the countries- We will party night and day So step onto my jet and we will just be on our way Travel the world together- all we can see We'll go to Oscar parties- just you and me If we get separated, check TMZ They'll dig up dirt on us for the world to see You're getting caught up in the tabloids and the paparazzi Make one mistake that's caught on tape and then you're on Hard Copy I thought this life would satisfy- that I'd be living a dream This nightmare makes me want to scream, yeah! Our fifteen minutes ended- what a relief Maybe things can return to how they should be I kind of miss the spotlight, but not the grief Can't have the best of both worlds unfortunately
11.
It all started with a mystery on the night you blew a kiss to me. From across the room my misery would soon be replaced with disbelief Then I was glowing, my heart was exploding Felt like I was floating, I could blow away, hey hey hey hey I never wanted you to turn around again The world around me blurred and froze and then I said that I forgot about my friends, they left without me And so you offered me a ride As you drove me home we talked about all the things we couldn't live without When you stopped the car I could not get out as my mind was full of fear and doubt Until you kissed me, worries stopped existing I could not resist the, urge to bring you in in in in in I never wanted you to leave my side again Just take my hand and be my bride and then Forget about your family and your friends- it's all about me And so I locked you up that night Please understand that this was how it had to be I drove your car into the lake one night so now you're safe with me And that's okay cause all the things you said you could not live without Are locked inside my basement with you, there's no need to scream or shout Cause I'll be here right by your side until the day you have to die Oh baby hit me, so I know you're still with me - I love you Baby, seems like you might hate me Haven't said much lately, or even drawn a breath I never wanted you to run away again Forgot to mention food and water when You told me all the things you needed can you please forgive me I hope that we can still be friends until the end If you get lonely I will get your friends And family then we can both begin our lives together No one will hear from us again
12.
Love is a zombie... when I think it's dead It's back to haunt me- gets inside my head and feeds It changes me Lost in the moment and I'm so afraid Before I know it now my soul's escaped from me It's hers to keep I'll sing woooo cause they don't know what I've been through with you cause they don't know what I've been through with you cause they don't know what I've been through with you What can I do? They say that I should get away from this But I'm addicted to the grave and it's too late There's no escape I'd rather take abuse with no defense Than face rejection laced with loneliness and grief So let me bleed And sing woooo cause they don't know what I've been through with you cause they don't know what I've been through with you cause they don't know what I've been through with you What can I do? To make you change your mind To make you change your ways I'll do it all myself, it doesn't matter what it takes So maybe I'm in love Or maybe I'm insane I can't tell anymore- I'll just sit back, relax, And sing woooo cause they don't know what I've been through with you cause they don't know what I've been through with you cause they don't know what I've been through with you What can I do?
13.
Even when I asked you out, I could not believe you were next to me Couldn't help but shout it out, I had finally found my destiny And she held me tight, so I knew right then, it would be alright Nothing matters when, set to candlelight Thus began our romantic history And then soon we'd figure out that we won't work out quite so perfectly And we'd even scream and shout, it seems sad, but love is so perplexing And our love is true, so I'll hold it in, and I'll stick with you Nothing matters when you've been feeling blue Thus began our romantic mystery I can't escape the words you say to me You contemplate whether you'll stay or leave I cannot restrain my love for you, so... Maybe next I'll choke you out, pour a gasoline puddle next to you Leave the candles burning out, as I cuddle up right there next to you And I'll hold you tight, cause I love you so, and I'll make things right I can't let you go, death by candlelight is the only way To escape this misery
14.
If I was all yours and you were all mine Nothing could stop true love of this kind If I become deaf as you become blind I'll read your lips as you read my mind Oh your love has got a hold on me But I can't let it show Cause you might try to set me free And I won't let you go With our white picket fence, and our fancy machines We're living in the American dream The sky is so blue, the grass is so green Something's amiss- things just aren't as they seem Oh the wool was pulled right off of me But I can't let it show Cause they might try to bury me And I'm not letting go As the world ends we'll go out to play And we'll just pretend it's a beautiful day With nothing to lose, no reason to pray I'll kiss your lips as it all blows away Oh your love has got a hold on me And now I'll let it show Cause I have never felt so free And I won't let you go The world is falling down on me But I won't let it show Cause I just need your love for me And I won't let you go I won't let you go I won't let you go

Some people settle down, some people get around Some people leap before they look and then they fall down Maybe we'd float around, maybe we'd feel down We'll never know until we try- we're both alone Now Jessica where have you been? Haven't talked for ages, now it's time to break the silence. Just because we haven't met doesn't really matter Cause we're living in the moment It seems so easy to just fall in love with you Nobody else quite understands just what we're going through I know just what to do, don't have to think it through Drop everything, hop on a plain and then I'm there with you Jessica where have you been? Haven't talked for ages, now it's time to break the silence. Just because we haven't met doesn't really matter Cause we're living in the moment I want you to hit me as hard as you can Gave up my possessions as part of the plan You gave me a kiss-shaped scar on my hand Now love me and leave me and start it again Jessica how have you been? Now that we're together I can take your hand and hold it Just because we hadn't met, never even mattered Cause we're loving every moment Jessica my love (living in the moment) Jessica my love (living in the moment)

With so many boys at your feet all around you How could I hope to compete or astound you And though I know hardly anything about you I need you to know that I cannot live without you Ashley Black please always love me Like an angel up above me Ashley Black please watch out for me Don't deceive or misinform me I know we both have a past that can haunt us And this can cause shady people to want us We build up a wall, hiding from that which daunts us It only comes down for the ones who will flaunt us Ashley Black please always love me Like an angel up above me Ashley Black please watch out for me Never harm me, just adore me Cuddle with me, keep me warm at night You're all I need, make me feel so right Don't ever let go Ashley Black please always love me Like an angel up above me Ashley Black please watch out for me Never harm me, just adore me Ashley Black please shine down on me So that I may see Ashley Black please watch over me Never set me free And I'll promise you, if you stay with me I'll always be true, we'll always be free
