Maria Mena Album

I've been walking around all day, thinking
I think i have a problem, I think I think too much
I've been tought to hold back my tears and avoid them
but you`ve made pain into something I could touch

I`ve been walking around all day, laughing
Think I`d be better off whithout you here
And I bet you are sweet and hard to get over
So I`ll cry and people will stop and stare
now thats ok, let them stop and stare...

coz I am fragile
I am hopeless
I'm not perfect
but I am free...

I`ve been walking around all day, waiting
and waiting is all I seem to do
ґcause I never get it unless I`m fed it
but this time I'll just have to
yeah this time I'll just have to...

Say you're not around... am I finished?
If you`re not around that's too bad
Hope youґre safe and sound, not alone now
ґCause you know I belive in you...

The rain falls on your days
giving you a reason for mysterious ways
behind doors the darkness falls
you pour a cup of coffee, and get talking walls

But you can blame it on me
and the person you thought I wanted you to be
but don't you blame it on love
'cause you will regret it then, and from now on.

Besides from days gone by
hours seem so slow you think you'll surely die
you decide to call up a friend
when she doesn't answer you are close to the end...

Mom,
please tell me what to do,
I'm so disappointed in you,
You said those words that made me cry,
And you always wondered why,
why I sing my lullaby,

Mom,
please hurry home to me,
I waited up so patiently,
You sat down and start to cry,
But you never ask me why,
Why I sing my lullaby,
Why I sing my lullaby,

Was it my fault they lead you in the wrong direction,
Was it my fault they didn't show you any affection,
I show you and I start to cry,
still you always wonder why,
why i sing my lullaby

Mom why love me if your cold,
You'll just get bitter then grow old,
Ask me when I start to weep,
Then I'll tell you in my sleep, Why I sing my lullaby [x5]

You have it all
the ceiling cracks and you fly
but I fall again.

Please say goodbye
take your love out of me
and don't ask me why.

I'm not your friend
trying to stand but you bend me again.
What's up with that?
Takes more than this for me to take off my hat.

And I said it first
between you and me
I sleep to dream
I sleep to dream

Sorry you kissed me now
this face doesn't seem so brave after all
Please, let me go
I need to hear myself think
I only hear water flow.

I'm not your friend
trying to stand but you bend me again.
What's up with that?
Takes more than this for me to take off my hat.

And I said it first
between you and me
I sleep to dream
I sleep to dream

I'm not your friend
trying to stand but you bend me again.
What's up with that?

Takes more than this for me to take off my hat.
Takes more than this for me to take off my hat.
Takes more than this for me to take off my hat.

And I said it first
between you and me
I sleep to dream
I sleep to dream

And I said it first
between you and me

Monday morning came too soon
It’s entering my forgotten room
Diquised as the morning sun
and I should be on the run

But i’m here
Waiting for you
To come and rescue me
From this awful blue

Looks like another day
In another way
Through another place
Too many lonely days
I’m not here for sure
Just here for you
You walked through the door
Cause I said I didn’t need you anymore
Anymore…

Monday morning
Caught me by surprise
Covering up my weary eyes
Only helpless, not yet torn
Too many tears I’ve worn

But I’m here
Waiting for you
To come and rescue me
From this awful blue

Looks like another day
In another way
Through another place
Too many lonely days
I’m not here for sure
Just here for more
You walked through the door
Cause I said I didn’t need you anymore

But I said a lot of stupid stuff for sure
There’s nothing I want more
This morning

Looks like another day
In another way
Trough another place
Too many lonely days
Cause I’m not here for sure
Just here for more
You walked through the door

Looks like another day
In another way
Through another place
Too many lonely days
Cause I’m not here for sure
Just here for more
You walked through the door

I know it’s time for me to grow up
And I know my head’s somewhere else but give me a break
I never done this before
And somewhere in between I’m feeling lonely
You wouldn’t have a friend that I could borrow?
‘Cause I know there’s a lot of nothing around here

I know it’s been awhile should’ve called u
And I know that you fit in but I’m not you
And somewhere in the middle I go crazy
Do you know somebody who cares?
‘Cause I know there a lot of nothing around here

Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
I think I’m fading too…

Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
Think I’m fading too …

I know there’s gotta be a way to make him get me
I know sometimes I don’t get myself at all
And some place on the sun there is a black spot
Do you know the weatherman too?
‘Cause I know there’s a lot of nothing around here

Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
I think I’m fading too…

Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
Think I’m fading too…

There you go trying to teach me the lesson you learn
Don’t you know, I already tried that
and I got burned…

Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
Think I’m fading too…
Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
Think I’m fading too…

Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
Think I’m fading too…

Hey, hey you
I’m surrounded by pale people
Hey, hey you
Think I’m fading too…

You smoke a lot.

this time.
B ut it feels so bad.
B ut you're not moving cause you're dead.
So dead.

I'm always on your side
every time you decide to hide
and I'm careful with my steps,
never make a move I will regret.

And I'm stuck on this crowded train
carrying a world of pain, yeah.
And I'm stuck on this crowded train
going down, going down, down

I'm boxing shadows again
and I'll always be somebody's friend
that's what scares me the most
loving what will remain, I suppose

And I'm stuck on this crowded train
carrying a world of pain, yeah.
And I'm stuck on this crowded train
going down, going down, down

Ooooh, oooh, oh, oh oh

If I forget your face
inbetween these busy days
what will become of me?
What will become of me?

And I'm stuck on this crowded train
carrying a world of pain, yeah.
And I'm stuck on this crowded train
going down, going down, down

I couldn't change him if I tried
I couldn't be his doll even if I wanted to
cause I'm me, not you.

I couldn't be a little girl
I couldn't walk around like I had no clue
cause I'm me, not you.

Look where you've gotten me this time
I'm up against a wall
like I committed a crime

Take care, I hope never to see you here.
Bye bye, promise not to cry.
Bye bye.

I can lead them all like mice
I couldn't fool them all, that's not something I do
cause I'm me, not you

I couldn't hide my purple eyes
I couldn't swallow them and not even chew
cause I'm me, not you

Look where you've gotten me this time
I'm up against a wall
like I committed a crime

Take care, I hope never to see you here.
Bye bye, promise not to cry.
Bye bye.

Your disguise is not fooling me
your embrace is not comforting
and I can't follow you around

Cause I see your evil ways
and it kills your innocence
but I still followed you around.

Take care, I hope never to see you here.
Bye bye, promise not to cry.
Bye bye.

Take care
bye bye

Look at us now, generation next
damaged somehow, but we try our best.
And we're all the same, but that doesn't make us right.
And where do you turn?
Where do you sleep at night?

So now you think we're ugly,
like I don't have enough to worry about.
Why do you think I'm ugly?
Which magazine did ya read so you could judge me now?

Look at us stare,
jealous of what they wear.
Dad gives you money, but he's never there.
And we cry out for love, never get enough of that.
And now you're into drugs and all that "other" stuff.

And now you think we're ugly,
like I don't have enough to worry about.
Why do you think I'm ugly?
Which magazine did ya read so you could judge me now?

So now you think we're ugly,
like I don't have enough to worry about.
Why do you think I'm ugly?
Which magazine did ya read so you could judge me now?

People have said to me
they think they're better then me, and I agree, yeah.

People changing me
telling me what to think and who to be.

No wonder why we're confused...
are you me?

So now you think we're ugly,
like I don't have enough to worry about.
Why do you think I'm ugly?
Which magazine did ya read so you could judge me now?

So now you think we're ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly

I wouldnґt let them hurt you, I wouldnґt let them scream
youґd listen to my stories,
and got back to your dreams

Stayed down on first floor
layed low with me
I saw your pieces so magically

And how is everything in the real world,
is anybody left there sane?
think itґs time for you to join the minority again

ґCause they wonґt say theyґre sorry
they wonґt know youґre there
they wonґt sacrifice anything to have you near
they wonґt realize youґre gone before itґs too late
And painful is the ways of those who caved in and youґre too great

I understood you, I got your ways
You cried your heart out,
and I held your face

And tell me if youґre ever feeling down
Iґll open up and turn this world around
youґre no one if youґre just another one, of them...

I don't want to have to build this
I don't want to have to fit in
I don't want to have to need someone
but I do..

I don't want to have to attract boys
I don't want to have to be here
I don't want to have to eat to fill a hole
but I do..

But it's better than nothing at all
But it's better than nothing at all

I don't want to have to be angry at you
I don't want to have to blame it on my father
I don't want to feel sick around you
but I do..

I don't want to ever fall in love
I don't want to feel so insecure
I don't want to have to write this to explain
Still I do
This feels better than nothing at all
This feels better than nothing at all..
