sorry

Vague sound of rain pierces through my song again
but I get distracted by the way his toes move when he plays
so I let it burn I just poured my heart out there's bits of it on the floor
And I take what's left of it and rinse it under cold water And call him up for more
And I say baby, yes I feel stupid to call you, but I'm lonely
And I don't think you meant it when you said you couldn't love me
And I thought maybe if I kissed the way you do, you'd feel it too
He said I'm sorry so sorry grabs my wristsas my fingers turn into angry fists
and I wisper why can't you love me, I'll change for youI'll play the part
He said I'm sorry so sorry

anatomy


I submit no excuse. If this is what I have to do,
I owe you everyday I wake. If I could,
I would shrink myself, sink through your skin
to your bloodcells and remove whatever makes you hurt;
but I am too weak to be your cure.

its a ambulance ride

I could not believe that you were fast asleep
And I felt like those flashing lights
On the ocean floor, at the liquor store
It's not the type of secret that you want to keep too long
Look for me but I'll be gone
Take your love and step it down
Spin around the room 'til you have to choose
Maybe I'll pick both of them
Maybe neither one
Every time the phone rings it sounds like a song
Look for me and I'll be gone
You can't sing to save your life
Through the alcohol
Drinking champagne off the walls
It looks like after all
They still talk about us like they've got nothing else to do
It could have been lines And after all this time
They'll still talk about us like we're not even in the room
Outside the birds sing Louder than the phone rings
Every night you fall asleep with your headphones on
Look for me and I'll be gone

oh sweet baby

Just keep walking Because it won't be worth your time tonight I'm not listening ;It seems like you only ever want to say goodbye And I feel it every time that you walk into a room Lights start flashing inside my head I can't get past all the things you said I believed in Even though I knew they just couldn't be true Not coming from you
Don't start acting like you're the only one who ever cried There's someone just like you For every burned-out building filling up the sky I feel it every time that you walk into a room It's so hard to stay in love when you can't trust anyone
