You walked yourself into my room
And you saw nothing there of worth
You walked yourself into my heart
You didn’t care just who you hurt
You walked yourself into my life
I didn’t have the strength to fight
You walked yourself into my arms
I didn’t have the strength to try
Chorus:
Ooh, tell me that you’ll keep me
Treat me like an animal
Ooh, tell me that it’s easy
To treat me like an animal
I tried to ask you want you want
And I was hoping you’d say me
Instead you took your hands from mine
And then you asked me not to speak
I wanted you to speak your mind
You never really had the time
And if you ever had a heart
I never quite made it inside
Chorus

drag me under
03:15
|

|
Blood in the kitchen
You don’t know where from
You opened up the silence
You feel the distance
You know something’s wrong
We covered up the violence
Chorus:
You brought me to life
Then gave me a black eye
Now drag me under
Drag me under you
Sleep with no pillow
And no bed sheets on
You wake up with no mattress
Sleep in the bathtub
With the hall light on
You wake up with your sadness
Chorus

If you need me
I’ll be on your TV
If you want me
Make another cup of coffee
Yeah ’cause I’ll come through
Even if you don’t want me to
If you’re needy
I could whisper softly
If you need me
Have another cup of coffee
Yeah ‘cause I’ll come through
Even if you don’t want me to go
La da da da
La da da da
If you need me
I’ll be on your TV
If you want me
Have another cup of coffee
Yeah ’cause I’ll come through
Even if you don’t want me to go

If you believe
You can have anything you want
You can have anyone you want
You can have anything
If you believe
You can leave anything you want
You can leave anyone you want
You can leave anything
Prechorus:
There’s nothing to do without you
There’s nothing to do without you
There’s nothing to do with you
Mmmmm
Chorus:
Don’t go down
Go down with the ship
Or swim in after it
Don’t you want
Don’t you wanna try
Try to stay alive
Out of my head
I was out of my head last night
I was out of my mind last night
I was out of my mind
Out on the town
You could have anything you like
You could have anyone you like
You could have anything
Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge:
Out of my mind
You were out on the town last night
I was out of my head last night
You could have anyone
If you believe
You can leave anytime you want
You can leave anyone you want
You can leave anyone

O Your Failing Heart
There by the door
There I would wait for a call
That never comes in
You never come in
There in your hand
You held a stopwatch
You held the time then
We had it all then
Chorus:
O your failing
O your failing
O your failing heart
I was beside
Beside myself in the dark
I couldn’t find you
I couldn’t find you
There in your hand
You held a time bomb
We had it all then
We had it all then
Chorus
Bridge:
Aahs and oohs

it was never me
03:16

Always did what you told me to
I guess I was afraid of you
Wanted to know what you care about
You just wanted to tear me down
Chorus:
You’ve been puttin’ words in my mouth
That I never wanna say
I’ve been thinkin’ I am the problem
It was never me
We’ve been pushin’ something along
That was never meant to be
We keep pushin’ something along
How can I ever get over this
If you won’t give me a final kiss?
Always did what you told me to
I’m just tired of letting you
Chorus
Bridge

We keep pushin’ something along

Can’t keep
Keep still
Your heart
Goes where
It will
Prechorus:
And yes your thoughts are valid
And of course I still love you but I

Chorus:
I tried
But I can’t be like you
You don’t know

To forget what
Your love put me through
I tried
I can’t
Can’t stay
Stay here
I start
To dis-
Appear

Every time we get right
One of us starts a fight
Every time you give up
I draw in, hold you tight

Every time I draw near
You go and disappear
Every time we get close
I run off out of fear

false attempt

For every truth, there’s a consequence
For every lie, another bad defense
So please do not insult my intelligence
With every lie and every false attempt
Chorus:
Live with your decision, livin’ with the doubt
Try to pull me in, honey I’m already out
Losin’ my affections, missin’ out on me
Try to pull me in, honey I’m already free
For every truth, there’s a consequence
For every lie, another defense
So please do not insult my intelligence
With every lie and every false attempt
Chorus
Bridge:
Well I can’t forget the things that I showed you
Well I can’t forget the things that you showed me
Chorus
(BGV’s)
Well I can’t forget the things that I showed you
Try to pull me in but I just won’t let you
Well I can’t forget the things that you showed me
I’ve forgiven you but I can’t forgive me
