Calm down she said consider this a warning.
A souvenir for the morning, a headache that you can't fix.
I said I can talk my way out of anything, but i am struggling in this emergency
This ones on your side.
I said this one is on your

Ambulance i'm calling you now
Accidents bring the house down
Come on come on, you don't know me
Come on come on, you owe me nothing

Dry your eyes and stick them on ice.
Give your chest a rest it's been cold your whole life
I'll have you know, the tables are about to turn
And you're going to get what, what you deserve.

Ambulance i'm calling you now
Accidents bring the house down
Come on come on, you don't know me
Come on come on, you owe me nothing
Is this is it my love, turn it up turn it up i want to hear you scream.

So sing, i am my own worst enemy, that's what she said to me.
And i am living out your dream.
So sing, i am my own worst enemy
So we can just breathe, a little more safely.

I've got real big plans and such bad thoughts

. . .


I know something you dont,
It comes and goes, like the strength in your bones, oh
So keep your mind at rest Id never let the two of us be friends
Does it hurt?

Underdog, just look at the mess you made
Its such a shame, a shame, we had to find out this way

You must have, the must have moment in your hands
And its sad to think that, this season, Im gonna change, just not face to face
It aint broke, so dont fix it

Underdog, just look at the mess you made
Its such a shame, a shame, we had to find out this way
Revenge loves company, three makes it a crowd
So wash your mouth, sit this one out

And Im down, down. but definitely not out (Why did you?)
Yeah, why did you call me again?
But, I bet we dont make it (I bet we dont make it)
Cause I never take a rush at (my friends)
Friends in very high places
Theyre only making best of themselves
Selves are very, very selfish
Well give you a mind in the end

Underdog, just look at the mess you made
It such a shame, a shame, we had to find out this way
Revenge loves company, three makes it a crowd
So wash your mouth, sit this one out.

. . .


You're not on my things to do,
cos I've already done you.
And I am protective, it's so cute,
but only when it suits you.
Is this all in vein?
Can these words explain

Desperate minds mean desperate measures
You've got to get this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough.

At least you'll have nice thoughts of me,
when I am cheating on you
In your dreams.
I've told you before my closet's clean,
and that these bones dont belong to me.
Try this one for size,
try me one more time.
You hold me down
by keeping me around.

Desperate minds mean desperate measures
You've got to get this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough.
Desperate minds mean desperate measures
You've got to get this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough.

You hold me down,
by keeping me around.
And no one takes me home.
(no one takes me home.
You hold me down,
by keeping me around.
And no one takes me home.
(no one takes me home.

Desperate minds mean desperate measures
You've got to get this one together
You're young and in love
That should be enough.

(Young and in love, that should be enough.)

. . .


You've got a lot to say
for the one that walked away.
I give you take,
its the way it's always been

oh how do i know
if i should stay or just go
the bottom line is this way that i'll never know

stay with me
stay with me

you got a lot to say
for the one that pushed me away
i give you take
some things they never change
just change

stay with me
stay with me

never know i could be this way
never know that i could walk away

these things take time to grow
it's been said that time heals wounds
but no, i won't be controlled
and so, this story goes

stay with me
stay with me

never know i could be this way
never know that i could walk away

. . .


Too much, too much is never enough
I had you and I gave you up.
No idea where my mind was for months
I woke up, I cashed in on all of my luck,
walked hand and hand with your trust.
And everybody was kissing on fire,
and we all got burnt.

It'd be safer, to hate her,
than to love her and to lose her.
It'd be safer to hate her all around.

Caught you having a laugh,
did you catch me have the last?
I've been smiling like this for days,
just to make up for my mistakes.
In the dark, I watch everyone disappear,
and I am beginning to let myself down.
I am pushing everyone that was in, out.

It'd be safer, to hate her,
than to love her and to lose her.
It'd be safer to hate her all around.

And nobody knows what it's like
to live and die on the inside.
Nobody knows what it's like
to be one of a kind.

When we die, do we feel alive? (x2)

It'd be safer, to hate her,
than to love her and to lose her.
It'd be safer to hate her all around.
And nobody knows what it's like
to live and die on the inside.
Nobody knows.

. . .


It's worse, worse than you think
If truth be told,
I'll tell you that you're love sick
I am sweet so everybody takes a bite,
dig in, I'm the catalyst to your demise
Words are cheap, so I'll sell you a line,
like the way you acted that night
Second best, is what, what you want then
it won't cost you that much, but me

I've got you hanging on every word I say,
but that don't mean a thing
And you love the way I take your breath away,
so I'll take your breath away

Have you had, had your day?
Move close and I'll push you away
Play it safe for the sake of keeping some face,
play it safe in the name of keeping your place
Do what, what I tell you to
With arms we'll carry this through,
can't wait, can't wait to see you

I've got you hanging on every word I say,
but that don't mean a thing
And you love the way I take your breath away,
So I'll take take take
Oh i only have eyes for you,
It's so true
Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's the truth, the truth.

. . .


If one drink,
could make tonight,
slip my mind then I
Should drink up,
so I can forget that
I haven't lived my life
You are an example of,
better things to come
So why wait on some other escape,
that leads me nowhere fast
I've got to ask.

You've got nothing to lose
Except for me and you.
And I love that attitude
When you know I can do,
I'll do better than you.

If one drink, could make tonight,
slip your mind then you
Should drink up, so you can convince
yourself that I am cute
We are an example of,
why not to fall in love
It takes a turn and then it hurts
more than you could dream of.

Well you've got nothing to lose
Except for me and you.
And I love that attitude
When you know I can do,
I'll do better than you.

You've got nothing to prove,
oh no wait yes you do.
You wear it so well that we think it's true.

You can't stay I want you gone,
for pulling the carpet I was standing on. (x3)
Here's the exit, exit, exit.

You've got nothing to lose
Except for me and you.
And I love that attitude
When you know I can do,
I'll do better than you.
(we are an example of.. why not to fall in love)

. . .


This is hard to swallow
You keep your thoughts by your pillow
And just so you can adore them
And just so we can ignore them
I'd rather lead than follow
I'd rather stay in the cold
I must have got so old
Well so i've been told
But now youve lost it all

We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?

Forgetting the promises that you made
And how your,your promises easily break
Your can see it on your face
And im to under it
And i'll count my losses
And i'll count my sins


We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?

We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?

We were young and we were blind
We ignored the warning signs
How were we to know?
How were we to know?

We were close but still so far
We grew apart and out of touch
All i wanted was..
All i wannted was to say..

We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?

We're running out of time
We have things on our mind
And things that we just dont like
Who'd you wana say?
Who'd you wana be tonight?
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

If I could have a minute please,
then I'll bring you to your knees.
This contagious chemistry is killing me.
Oh you'll never dissapear,
until I give permission dear.
'Cause you're always gonna, always be knee deep.
So please.

Dearest enemy, off of that
You have just lost me along the way
Somewhere between the fake smiles and your free drinks
Please don't smother me,
I swear that I need some room to breathe.
What with you all up, down and over me,
you're not a name, you're just a face.
It's contagious, so catch it.

This love is dirtier than you think.
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears, trust me.
This won't sink lower than you think.
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears, trust me.

Dearest enemy, you should listen to those dreams.
Because they tell you all you need to know 'bout who and what you are.
No smoke without a fire, with that - our names are a pure lie.
This suit of skin and bones, we've not all got...exactly what you are.
It's contagious, so catch it.

This love is dirtier than you think.
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears, trust me.
This won't sink lower than you think.
Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears, trust me.

This is the first and the last time, I swear.
There's more where that came from, she said.
Do you know what that means? 'Cause I know what that means.
This is the first and the last time, I swear.
It's a numbers game and I was there.
Do you know what this means?
Do you know what this means?

No, oh!, who did you think I was, him?
No, oh!, is he the only lead you were working on?
No, oh!, and you were caught with the best yeah.
Oh forget the rest: hotel rooms, cheap thrill dress.
Lack of common sense can make this happen.

If I could have a minute please,
then I'll bring you to your knees.
This contagious, contagious chemistry.

Dearest enemy, you should have never trusted me. You bitch.

. . .


Did you think that
we would ever believe, you?
And on the note of rejection
The line you walk is gettin thin,
so thin,
Your green eyes are potent,
Last night i know who you were with,
And you're a snake in the grass,
And always that has been.

Come back home now,
Come back to sleep, (and we'll say)
Come back with someone else who,
Want's you more than me.

Just one more question,
Why do you throw your words around town,
Like they answer nobody's questions?
All ears, your chase comes out at night
Oh, the whistles cry
We're supposed to drop like flies

Come back home now,
Come back to sleep, (and we'll say)
Come back with someone else who, who
Want's you more than me.

Was it something I said
(was it something i said)
Something I did
That made you destroy all we built?
And it was something you said
(something you said)
Something you did
That made me think that you were real

Come back home now,
Come back to sleep, (and we'll say)
Come back with someone else who, who
Want's you more than..
Who wants you more than me.

Come back home now
Come back to sleep
And go back with anything
'Cause I know you'll think of me

Come back home now
Come back to sleep
And go back with anything
'Cause I know you'll think of me

(Go back home now, go back to sleep and we'll say...)

. . .


Where did we go so wrong
That we couldn't see that we lost control over everything?
It's personal
She gets involved
We've got these faces
They're painted
So you can't ever sell

Trophy eyes
You've now been mine
For longer than I'd like
You shine so bright
Behind those lies
And I need you more this time

And I am on my own
But not for long
I keep my friends so close
And you even closer
So wrong to say
That I feel this way
But I'm a man of my word
And my words will never change

Trophy eyes
You've now been mine
For longer than I'd like
You shine so bright
Behind those lies
And I need you more this time

Trophy eyes
You've now been mine
For longer than I'd like
You shine so bright
Behind those lies
And I need you more this time
(This is what we'll say)

. . .


So this is the end of you and me
We had a good run and I'm setting you free
To do as you want, to do as you please
Without me

Remember when you were my boat and I was your sea?
Together we'd float so delicately
But that was back when we could talk about anything

'Cause I don't know who I am
And you're running circles in my head
And I don't know just who you are
When you're sleeping in someone else's bed

Three whole words and eight letters late
That would have worked on me yesterday
We're not the same, I wish that could change
But it can't

And I'll say your name and in the same breath
I'll say something that I'll grow to regret
So keep your hands on your chest and sing with me
That we don't wanna believe

'Cause I don't know who I am
And you're running circles in my head
And I don't know just who you are
When you're sleeping in someone else's bed

So it's true what they say
If you love someone, you should set them free
Oh, it's true what they say
When you throw it away

I don't know who you are
I don't know who you are

Oh, 'cause I don't know who you are
When you sleep with somebody else
'Cause I don't know who I am
When you sleep with him

It's true what they say when you throw it away

. . .


I wrote this song, just to piss you off,
This is a war between my body and tongue,
You think you got it,
Come, show us what you've got.

I move away and watch you move through the walls,
If this is a game, then I'll sit out,
Everyone's a winner,
With a heart that small.

Keep me up, keep me up,
Oh I won't sleep tonight,
These rules were made so long,
And you know they're right.

I saw her coming like a storm,
I saw her come like I did before,
The weight of the world is on my shoulders,
But I just need someone else to hold it.

And I don't know why we're here
Is it to love of love and fear,
Everyone's a winner,
With a heart that small.

Keep me up, keep me up,
Oh I won't sleep tonight,
These rules were made so long,
And you know they're right.

Give her up, give her up,
Cause you're gonna die tonight,
She'll lead you on, spit you out.
Just to prove that she is right.

And I know it was wrong to lie,
But I need you to keep us alive,
So if you, can die, collide,
Which one of us,
Which one of us,
Will survive?

Keep me up, keep me up,
Oh I won't sleep tonight,
These rules were made so long,
And you know they're right.

Give her up, give her up,
Cause you're gonna die tonight,
She'll lead you on, spit you out.
Just to prove that she is right.

Oh we know, we know it's right.
We know,
Know, we know it's right.
And it's right.

Know, we know it's right.
We know,
Know, we know it's right.
And it's right.
