"For Every Time I Made You Cry While Telling You The Truth"
This is the song, the song I wrote you
And it is about how sorry I
Am everytime you cry
When I'm telling you the truth
And even through the reciever
Standing in the telephone booth
I can still hear the hail
Hitting your roof
A million miles away
But I can't come home
If you won't let me in
And even if I were to...
Break down your door (your heart)
You still would not give in
This is the hint
You hit me with
(And I can take a hint)
(And I can take a hit)
Upon my arrival
I got that feeling in my gut
That tells me to
Just turn around and run
(I can't take a hint)
(But I can take a hit)
The hail that hits your roof
Has become the rain that falls on mine
And at my house;
It's raining all the time
And it shows.
They can see that I am soaked
But where is the tear in the sky?
But there are no skies, only
The pain in your eyes
And the reason the rain stings
So much (oh, so much)
Is that the rain
Isn't really rain
They are just tears you've cried
While I was telling you the truth
Can you find the 'end' in
'Friends Forever'?
And will you tell me when you find
That person who knows me better
Than you?
Because what it sounds like
Is you're talking in 3rd person again
Or maybe it's the alcohol
Or maybe it's the hate for me
You keep bottled up
That will explode tonight
But I will be too late
To save the day
(This time...)
I told them not to give you
Anymore to drink
I told them not to let you drive,
Despite what you think
About them
Or me
Or about yourself
Because I love you
Like I love no one else
And now I'm screaming in the rain
On the top of my roof
Wishing I was there with you
Because, you and I both know
What happens next...
...In fact you're the one that said it best.
All these thoughts
Hit me like knives
(I can't take a hint)
(And I can't take a hit)
In the pit of my chest
I held you by your throat...
...But I still held you above the rest.
And if you jump?
I jump.
And if you fail to see the headlights coming in time
I'll be sitting in the passenger seat
Singing you to sleep with a lulaby
That's bittersweet
Sayin' "This is the last time
I'll apologize for makin' you cry
While telling you the truth."
(I'm sorry)
"Mrs. Wilson Sees A Ghost"
You looked so beautiful in your white dress
As you were walking down the aisle
Standing at the alter
And the whole time I felt like I was on trial
(Don't slip, don't speak)
"Speak now or forever hold your peace."
(That girl belongs to me)
{Chorus}
The words "I love you" are used so lightly these days
Please don't speak if you don't mean what you say
I'll make you relive what you regret
And I'll make sure you never can forget
(Don't you remember?)
(It was only last November)
It has been ten years since this horrible tragedy began
And I still awaken in tears, hoping it's all been a bad dream
But, as you know, stale depression becomes insanity
Remember when those were my pictures lining your vanity?
Remember all those webs of lies you told for fun?
Be careful what you do to someone willing
To pull the trigger of a gun
{Chorus}
The barrel holds one bullet, intended for the one
I hate the most, but my greatest fear is that
You will be haunted by the ghost, because even he knows
(Yes, even he knows)
How afraid you are of ghosts
{Chorus}
It was 3 AM when I pulled into the parking lot
Of the motel (the very same motel) I saw him at the week before
Talking dirty to some office whore, it was a week before you wed
He left you at home, asleep in bed (You two deserve each other)
{Chorus}
I stayed in room two hundred thirty two
Where the only thing that kept the real world
From mine
Was a door, a lock, and a 'do not disturb' sign
I hold a note in a red envelope, simply addressed 'to mine'
I would be holding your picture if I was not so afraid of your face
So I call for alcohol, trying for a kind of mental erase
But why bother with things like alcohol
When you can put a bullet in your brain?
(Bang, bang, everything is better now)
{Chorus}
When you receive the news, you tell him that you're scared
But his words of sympathy to you are "I don't fucking care."
The man on the phone tells you of the red envelope
That they found lying on the floor
(And you know exactly who it's for)
{Chorus}
(The paremedics come to take me away)
(Because I have no place to stay)
My funeral is held within the next seven days
Sadly (yet unsurprisingly) you are the only one that came
You stand above my grave, it's raining and you're crying
(For my death, or for my love?)
The two of you will divorce in just a few years
But you don't know that yet
(Or do you?)
All you want is to forget
Sometimes we don't always get what we want, do we,
Mrs. Wilson?
(What a horrible name)
{Chorus}
"My Tongue Is The Trigger"
One more depressed breath
That's been perfectly surpressed
At the thought of my death
And I must admit
That when I picture us like this
I feel so far from where I've been
'Cause you know, for something to end
It had to begin
So don't tell me you fell out of love
{Chorus}
Don't pretend you know me better than I do
You're the one that says no on could love me like you
And so, this must include, all the emotional abuse you put me through?
Tonight I'll fight you for everything, because I have nothing else to lose
I am standing in your doorway and you say
"I love you" (I hate you)
All you're techniques will not work on me today
Words are my favorite weapon and my mouth's a loaded gun
But you should know that you still are my only one
(Only one for what?)
{Chorus}
"I've Got A Broken Heart And A Bleeding Ear"
The neighbors hear the screams
But they never could've guessed
Such a terrible sound could come from me
Even as I am hanging by a thin thread
Trying to figure out what you meant when you said
I'd be better off dead
Than with you
{Chorus}
And what I don't know
Can't hurt me
Until I put it all together
And have decide whether or not
I can live with the (lame) excuse that you forgot
Well, you must've forgotten all the things
You promised me as you crept over to my bed
And while you were busy getting me outta my clothes
I bet you didn't hear a single word I said
(I love you)
What do I do with that big hole in my chest
Where I used to keep all the things
You said you liked best
That you tore right out
And never gave back
Even when you said
"We were never meant to last."
This is what it sounds like
When a heartbreaks
For the very first time
(Oh the horrible ache)
Screaming in the ears of everyone
You ever knew
(And the look in my eyes)
(When I ask myself)
"WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOING WITH YOU?"
{Chorus}
And I never could've forseen
That my first love wouldda been with a girl (you)
That (you) lied about a whole world
She'd never even seen
And some one so pathetic (so pathetic)
And some one so cruel (you're heartless)
Couldda been the the only one (you were my only one)
To make me feel like the words
"I love you" (I still do)
Could of ever meant a thing
{Chorus)
This is what it sounds like
The first time a broken heart
Figures out loves a lie
(Figures out all of your lies)
{Chorus} +
("What the hell was I doing with you")
(This is what it sounds like
The first time a broken heart
Figures out loves a lie
Figures out all of your lies)
