I hate myself more than I ever let on. I'm burnt out at twenty two. I lived too fast and I loved too much and I'll die too young. But I chose this cup that I drank from.
You're pulling out your teeth. And I'm the Novocaine you pump in your cheek. That's why I'm still around, you've got blood running down your chin. But you suffered peacefully.
Can't go down to the river where we meet. If I went there I'm sure my tears would flow. The crazy little drive-in where we used to eat, ah-ha. There's another place that I can't go.
Everybody's crazy for pretending they're not. Used to be as kids but I guess we forgot. How many years does it take to unlearn. Life's just a game and it's just your turn.
Marching down to City Hall, we join the light parade. Learning to untie the knot, the dawn of brighter days. In the midnight darkest dreams, the rivers will run free.
Guarda o meu coração, oh Deus. Guarda o meu coração. De fazer minha vontade. De viver pra mim mesmo. . Quão insondáveis são os teus caminhos. Inescrutáveis são os teus juízos.
Most of the day, we were at the machinery. In the dark sheds that the seasons ignored. I held the levers that guided the signals to the radio. But the words I received, random code, broken fragments from before.
Guess I got lucky. That God didn't take me away. Administered to by flunkies. And baptised every day. But I think I've got it figured. I've fallen into hell somehow.
I'm not a master of what I survey. To death and disaster I am a slave. But I am the author of the words that I say. But why do I bother; it's all trash anyway..
If I could breathe. The whole world is out. And they wanna get me to bleed. And these stolen seconds. They were never mine. So if you believe. That somehow you killed your dream.
What sort of place is this?. How did it get this far?. We'd never hear them say. We'll never become. It's like a dream in a sense. I never saw this far.
You wanted to see. All that I could be. In in your life, your life. What if I fail though,. I forget all the details. On what's right, what's right. .
Chorus:. . Take this broken love, I'm living. Take this love i can't stop giving. Throw it on The fire. Throw it on The fire. Throw it on the fire. Throw it on the fire.
She has the power with every move she makes. To turn my eyes and to turn my fate. To be here, to be here. But I am a liar. The promises I've made have broken down with my broken way but I'll be here,.
Time's just a passin'. Everyone's fine if you ask 'em. Like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles. And when it gets real bad. Oh, just raise your glass.
I'm not a fool. I know all the rules. You can't trick me, get one by me. There's nothing I haven't seen before. How can you be sure you're the only one who's working an angle tonight.
I've been around for a little over 20 years.. And to anyone who needs advice on getting here.. Don't ask me, the path I took was not exactly by the book, by the book..
Before we lose the light of day. Before our words take their place. Before the mystery has been erased. Let's close our eyes. . Before we are who we'll become.
How can I forget the night we met?. I can still remember what you wore.. I had the strangest feeling like we'd met before.. Maybe it was something that you said..
You don't have to say a single world. I know just what you're thinking, girl. You don't have to tell me you love me. Take it easy. . You don't have to be a movie star.
