If I'm Just Bad News, Then You're A Liar

She said you had a head on your shoulders
and it looks like she was right
she said you were looking for love
but it seems you've lost all your sight

now i won't lecture
because you've been here before
but i won't cross my fingers
cause you're walking out that door

I'm done bleeding over you
just thought I'd let you know (i'm done, i'm done)
because it's obvious you're done with me
don't worry babe, I know i see

and now you're back into his arms again?
control, manipulating hands again?
am i even in your thoughts again?
painful, i know, manipulating your words again
suddenly everything has changed again

and now you're back into his arms again?
control, manipulating hands again?
am i even in your thoughts again?
painful, i know....

you gave me hope
of a time better spent
now it's breathe or choke
and now you're gasping for that oxygen

(you gave me hope)
so forget my name, forget my face,
(of a time better spent)
forget the way my lips used to taste
(now it's breath or choke)
forget my number, erase me from your slumber, oh,
(and you're gasping for that oxygen)
what number was i?
(you gave me hope)
you're just some lush, drunk, addict
(of a time better spent)
so forget my address... that's if you hadn't
(now it's breath or choke)
by the time he was taking off your dress
(and you're gasping for that oxygen)

I'm done bleeding over you
just thought I'd let you know (i'm done, i'm done)
because it's obvious you're done with me
don't worry babe, I know i see

I'm done bleeding over you
just thought I'd let you know (i'm done, i'm done)
because it's obvious you're done with me
don't worry babe, I know i see

Blend No. 27

do you ever think of me?
all this smoke, these cigarettes,
do you even think of me?
if not could you let me fade to obscurity?
but if so could you just....please... tell me?

smoke breaks in the middle of the night
hospital rooftops talking about fights
if i could watch the sunrise with you
i'd just about die

well hey thanks for coming to my show
did you know one of those songs i played for you?
i'm cheesy but you, you're soft and only,
and baby you, you're lost and loney,
and only you, well you're just like heaven
and it'll be worth going to prison
if that got a smile out of you

smoke breaks in the middle of the night
hospital rooftops talking about fights
if i could watch the sunrise with you
i'd swear to be alive
i'd swear i wasn't going anywhere
but i'm not giving up on you
so i'll pretend i'm winning you over
if you won't give up either

so what do you say love, what do you say?
come on, you used to give this away
so what do you say love, what do you say?
come on, you used to give this away

i'm trying not to fall into that same cliche
but it's what i'm best at, it's what i'm best at
that sunrise is coming and
i think i just about died

smoke breaks in the middle of the night
hospital rooftops talking about fights
if i could watch the sunrise with you
i'd swear to be alive

do you ever think of me?
all this smoke, these cigarettes,
do you even think of me?
do you even think of me?
have another 27, sweetie,
do you ever think of me?

Cardiomyopathy

it's so simple I thought, but you complicated everything,
one more glimpse of being sought, but you complicated everything
so paint your face up something nice, like a work of art
but it was something more like a movie's porn...
you're a terrible actress
bad costumes to match this,
hope you give up soon cause
i can't take much more of this

and i tried to fight this infection, i really did, i really did,
(it's complicated)
took all the right pills and all those injections, i really did, i really did
(and it's complicated)
but you complicated everything, you really did, you really did
(it's complicated)

now i'm lying on a gurney, and lying to the surgeon
"oh, no I don't smoke,
oh, no I don't drink.
oh, no I won't ever think of her again."
but she's watching through the glass,
watching heartbeats pass through monitors and vials filled with the past

and i tried to fight this infection, i really did, i really did,
(it's complicated)
took all the right pills and all those injections, i really did, i really did
(and it's complicated)
but you complicated everything, you really did, you really did
(it's complicated)

and these pills aren't working like they said did, like they said they did
so paint your face up something nice, like a work of art
pretend you used something other than lies, just this once
and just for tonight I'll cover up this broken heart
and find someone better than (you)
someone more deserving than (you)
find someone who just isn't you, just isn't you

and i tried to fight this infection, i really did, i really did,
(it's complicated)
took all the right pills and all those injections, i really did, i really did
(and it's complicated)
but you complicated everything, you really did, you really did
(it's complicated)

How To Start A Fire

under the covers, it was like a puzzle falling into place,
pieces of you attached to pieces of me and we're floating in space
watching stars explode with every kiss
and planets fall extinct with every "oh... miss..."

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
stay up so i can bring you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay wired so i can calm you down
stay tight so i can ring you out

under the blankets we shared all our secrets
"nothing can hurt us here"
too bad we're both just liars, and sinners
and i was just a vessel for your sixth
"so oh, go see him, miss..."

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
stay up so i can bring you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay wired so i can calm you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay tight so i can ring you out

if our mouths were missles we'd be locked away
if our hands were razors we'd cut through our names
our bodies were weapons and we're designed
to bring this place down, cross all the lines
just to get to you, to you, to you
(to bring this place down, cross all the lines)
i hope this gets to you, to you, to you
(to bring this place down, cross all the lines...)

stay up so i can bring you down
(dreams only last one night)
i just want to hold you down
(dreams only last one night)
stay up so i can bring you down
(dreams only last one night)
i just want to hold you down

i'll hang from your words,
your faded breath
fall to my knees whenever she says
compliment the mess with baby's breath
i'll hang from your words,
your faded breath
fall to my knees whenever she says
compliment the mess with baby's breath

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
stay up so i can bring you down
(and it's a long drive, long drive)
stay wired so i can calm you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay tight so i can ring you out

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(and i hope this gets to you, to you)
stay up so i can bring you down
(cuz it's a long drive back, it's a long drive...)
stay wired so i can calm you down
(and i hope this gets to you, to you,)
stay tight so i can ring you out
(cuz it's a long drive...)

I'm Not Addicted, I Just Don't Want To Stop (Blur)

well i couldn't stop the burning in my ear
when you told me exactly what i wanted to hear
louder, louder with my microphone wrapped round your wrist
breathe in and out, come down, come down
breathe in and out, come down, come down

it's all such a blur to her to her to her
and it's all such a blur to this girl
and she just needs some attention
and she just wants some affection
and she just needs some direction
she could use in anything

i've often wondered if my teeth would fit in those heroine tracks marks stitched in your skin
if they did would you shoot me up?
tell all your friends about this loaded gun?
if they did, would you shoot me up?
if they did would you shoot me....
breathe in and out, come down, come down
breathe in and out, come down, come down

it's all such a blur to her to her to her
and it's all such a blur to this girl
and she can't fight this infection
and she's bruised from these injections
and she's left with these inflections
she could use in anything

you got us good, you got us good, serious like a heart attack
you got us good, you got us good, serious in paying back
you got us good, you got us good, serious like a heart attack
you got us good, you got us good, sharpened blade right through the back

whisper all your secrets in my microphone,
will it keep them? pray to God He keeps them
whisper all your secrets in my microphone,
will he keep them? pray to God he keeps them.

sickly, not sober, quickly, before we see her
sickly, not sober, quickly, before we see her
