I’m not the kinda girl who likes to wait her turn
I'm so impatient yeah I leave no stone un turned
And I’m trying to work out why
These feelings run my mind
I know you always try to see my point of view
I never mean to take my bad day out on you
And I’m sorry bout the way
I acted yesterday
And although I push you away
Please stay, please stay, please stay
I am aware that lately I’ve been lazy
Waiting around for you to come and rescue me
Yeah this way that I can be
Well it makes me crazy
And although I push you away
Please stay, please stay
And I know I’ve broken the frame
Please stay, please stay, please stay
Another car, another plane, when you’re so far away
And you’re on the road, and Im all alone and it’s so hard to say
Forget about the things I said when I was going out of my head
Wont you forget about the things I said when I was going out of my head
And although I push you away
Please stay, please stay
And I know I’ve broken the frame
Please stay, please stay,
Didn’t mean to fuck up your day
Please stay, please stay
Yeah I know I push you away
Please stay, please stay, please stay

Hey hey he said ‘just be yourself’
Hey hey ‘leave your hair like it is’
‘Don’t you know baby that I know what I’m talking about’
He said ‘its all good just leave it to me’
Protect yourself from the big ones
Protect yourself from the little ones too
Don’t get lost in the sauce
Don’t let them bring you down
You’re good you’re good as you
Hey hey yeah we love what you do
Hey hey we think you’re great how you are
But have you ever considered toning it down
They said its all good just leave it to us
Protect yourself from the big ones
Protect yourself from the little ones too
Don’t get lost in the sauce
Don’t let them bring you down
You’re good you’re good as you
When you wake up and you’re someone else (someone else)
Didn’t even know you’d lost yourself (lost yourself)
When you wake up and you’re someone else (someone else)
Didn’t even know you’d lost yourself (lost yourself)
Protect yourself from the big ones
Protect yourself from the little ones too
Don’t get lost in the sauce
Don’t let them bring you down
You’re good you’re good as you
Hey hey you’re good you’re good as you
Hey hey you’re good you’re good as you
Hey hey you’re good you’re good as you
Hey hey hey

Hey there January
Looks like we’re alone again
Another year is over
Left the same way it came in
Said that I’d be thinner
Said that we’d be better friends
But I’m still on the treadmill
Change the channel
Played by the rules
Look where it got me
Stones in my shoes
Are cutting my feet
Oh the way you held me up
I never felt quite good enough
I made it through the year again
With Diet Coke and cigarettes
Hey there salutations
Wasn’t really the end
My new year resolutions
Used to make a lot more sense
All these little problems
Like sex and television
Got me in a chokehold
Self deception
Played by the rules
Look where it got me
Sober is cool
But fuck it’s boring
Oh the way you held me up
I never felt quite cool enough
And truer words were never said
That closeness tends to breed contempt
Nowhere
Going nowhere
Played by the rules
Pass me the doob
Going nowhere

Well I heard ‘bout
The hounds and the horses around you
They tear over land yeah they run through
Looking for a real man and they found you
You’re the captain
You’re sitting up there on your mountain
And you’re looking down and baby you’re wondering
Why nobody else is running
Hows the quiet treat you now
You say it’s in the name of love
Well I hope it all works out
Well I heard kid
That you walk with a limp and you’re smoking
You won’t get very far when your broken
Better keep those cards that you’re holding
Lonely caption
Your waiting there on top of your mountain
Yeah tour looking down and baby it’s thundering
Come on you better start running
Hows the quiet treat you now
You say it’s in the name of love
Well I hope it all works out
Hows the quiet treat you now
You say it’s in the name of love
Well I hope it all works out

You always say how much you love my big brown eyes
Playing with my long hair like you found your prize
I'm so tired of standing next to you
With nobody caring what I do
If I shaved my head would you
Tell your friends you don’t really care really care
Don’t ask for a cigarette cigarette
Don’t ask for a cigarette
Would you still see me if I changed my style
Lying here beside you with that velvet smile
Close your eyes boy it’s a fantasy
Cos Im not the girl you wanted me to be
If I shaved my head would you
Tell your friends you don’t really care really care
Don’t ask for a cigarette cigarette
Don’t ask for a cigarette
I can’t explain to you the energy it takes to have to have these feelings every day
You can ignore me but I’m not the only girl who wakes up trying not to feel this way
If I shaved my head would you
Tell your friends you don’t really care really care
Don’t ask for a cigarette cigarette
Don’t ask for a cigarette

I could feel it coming through the night
Like a tidal wave the speed of light
Taking prisoners to the other side
But it’s not real it’s not real
It’s not real it’s not real
Wanna fall, wanna fight
What right have I
Taking scores, taking sides
Take my word, take my life
And I hear you but you’re way to late
Try to understand the words you say
But we’re breathing in outer space
And it’s not real it’s not real
It’s not real it’s not real
Wanna fall, wanna fight
What right have I
Taking scores, taking sides
Take my word, take my life
Love you more, love you less
Leave you cold, out of breath
Give me smoke, give me fire
Tell me more, tell me lies

I saw you walking by my door
And I will not play your games anymore And I will not pretend that I’m fine
And I will not lie not I wont lie
I wake up next to people I don’t know
And I drink more than my mother tells me so And I will not pretend that I’m fine
And I will not lie no I wont lie
Well you said that I might be crazy baby for the things that I’ve said and done Well you know that I might be crazy baby for the things that I’ve said and done
And I will make promises that I cant keep
And I will stick my nose where it’s not supposed to be And I will not pretend that I’m fine
And I will lie I will lie I will lie I will lie

Ive seen it all I know your plan
I’ve heard your name I know your reflection
So when you’re crawling on the floor
Make me fee like I’m the exception
And I won’t fall for it
I won’t fall for you I want better
Whispers won’t get you very far I know a story when I hear one
And if its up to me my dear I’ll take the hard truth when its given
So hold your breath cos I won’t listen I want better
Yeah your foolish your foolish you’re a fool
Take your promises light them on fire
Empty words they will burn from the pyre
Your love is cool but Im getting tired
Keep sending your letters I’ll light them on fire
I know you’re jealous of the night
For when it’s dark no one can see you
But there are secrets you can’t hide
those kind of shadows never suit you
And I won’t fall for it
I won’t fall for you I want better
Take your promises light them on fire
Empty words they will burn from the pyre
Your love is cool but Im getting tired
Keep sending your letters I’ll light them on fire
Yeah you’re foolish you’re foolish you’re a fool
Yeah you’re foolish you’re foolish you’re a fool
And I can’t stand to see you crumble I can’t stand to see a man unravel
Take your promises light them on fire
Empty words they will burn from the pyre
Yore love is cool but Im getting tired
Keep sending your letters i’ll light them on fire
I’ll light them on fire x 8
