Shivers and shakes running down my spine Words never were my strongest side “I felt the earth move…” And then I fell to the floor “…friendship is good but I want something more” Oh I’ve been holding back Oh I’ve been holding back Oh my love It’s sick but I just… Kept my heart in line (all the time) I kept my heart in line (all the time) Kept my heart in line I wanted to say something nice this time I wanted to tell you You’ve been on my mind “I fell in love…” And then I fell to the floor “…friendship is nice but I need something more” Oh I’ve been holding back Oh I’ve been holding back Oh my love It’s sick But I just… Kept my heart in line (all the time) I kept my heart in line (all the time) Kept my heart in line But I’ve been thinking ‘bout the same old thing Oh I’ve been thinking ‘bout the same old thing Oh I’ve been thinking ‘bout the same old thing Will you love me? (all the time) I kept my heart in line (all the time)

All this time that you’ve been locked away You kept on shooting that shit in your veins I know it’s gonna stay that way You swept your tears under the rug You kept your fear hidden by drugs I know it’s gonna stay that way But you’ll always have a place in my heart You always have a place in my heart All this time that you’ve been locked away You left it to me to deal with your pain I know it’s gonna stay that way But you’ll always have a place in my heart You always have a place in my heart I know you’ll never see The sorrow and pain you’ve been causing me You break my heart, my baby You always will Break my heart, my baby You always will I want you to say you love me

Birthday Boy 03:39
Tonight is another lonely birthday Everyone’s here That matters to me But I’m blue Because of you You’re going away Please stay When you say you’ve found someone who loves you More than I do I don’t want to let you go Tonight is another lonely birthday Everyone’s here That matters to me “We’re through” But I don’t want you to leave me this way Please stay When you say you’ve found someone who loves you More than I do Well, I just have to let you go But you know My heart is going with you Wherever you go

Oh my head Is spinning And I threw up in my bed I can’t remember what I did or said I can’t remember anything... Except... my baby picked me up And carried me here My baby picked me up And carried me here Oh my soul I feel like I’m a hundred years old Been crawling in the dirt Digging for gold Been sniffing glue and gasoline... And then… My baby picked me up And carried me here My baby picked me up And carried me here And my world revolves around her My world revolves around her I should I have changed my way of life The day that I found her Oh my heart’s been kicked and badly bruised and torn apart Run over on the street by speeding cars I made a mess of everything... But then my baby picked me up And carried me here

Puppy 03:28
You’re just a wound up toy to that boy But I know you’re something more What I’ve been looking for Is in your eyes You made me feel you loved me And when you made me feel unsure Hell, I just liked you more And now I want to cry So if you love me, don’t leave me If you really love me, don’t leave me Yes if you really love me, don’t leave me here You’re not a toy to this boy I know that you’re worth more Than I could afford So I want to cry I shout from the rooftops, don’t leave me I shout from the rooftops, don’t leave me I shout from the rooftops, don’t leave me Don’t leave me!

Here You Go 04:12
I have your picture In my room by the bed And I hear your voice In the back of my head “all your love please!” I’ve been down this road before Don’t want to walk it anymore Dragged my heart through the door And left it on your floor I carved your name Into my arm Such a sweet simple name Can do so much harm “all your love please!” I’ve been down this road before Don’t want to walk it anymore Dragged my heart through the door And left it on your floor It’s over, if you tear it apart It’s over, if you tear it apart Here you go, you can take it Here’s my sad and lonely heart I have your picture In my room by the bed And I hear your voice In the back of my head “all your love please!”

It's Over 03:30
Summer goes And the leaves start to fall I think of the good times Will anyone remember me at all The winter comes And my room’s getting cold “Go to bed” I will sleep in my clothes! And I know That I’ll sleep here alone You can go anywhere I will always be here Oh I’m tied and gagged inside You can do what you want I don’t know what I want Go on leave me behind But just keep me in mind The raindrops fall And I caught me a cold Shake like the leaves Oh god I’m getting old And I’ll still have to sleep Here alone You can go anywhere I will always be here Oh I’m tied and gagged inside You can do what you want I don’t know what I want Go on leave me behind But don’t forget me in time If you love me Catch me when I fall If you love me Catch me when I fall It’s over It’s all over

I’ve been around you A long time But you don’t see me I tried to sing But you don’t hear me Turn your head around I just want to make you feel Like I feel Turn your head around Turn your head around love Just don’t forget That time goes by Just don’t forget Even good songs die But until then… Whenever you sing a song I’ll sing along I don’t care if the words are wrong I’ll still sing along I’ll sing from the top of my lungs baby I’ll sing along (turn your head around) I’ll still sing along (turn your head around)

Baby I will bring his army down If you want me to I will burn his house to the ground And if you want a little more I’ll give you what you’re asking for Baby I will bring the king to his knees And hang him With the rope you gave to me And if you want to know for sure I’ll hang his head on your door

In the light of day I guess I lost my way No sticks or stones can lead me home again that ship has sailed I tried, I failed oh hell, my heart Just fell apart again I used to belong, I used to have Somewhere safe to go I used to be loved, I used to have Someone nice to hold In the light of day My train went off the rails No sticks or stones Can guide me home again I used to belong, I used to have Somewhere safe to go I used to be loved, I used to have Someone sweet to hold These distant memories of a home Turn my heart into stone And I’ll stay on my own

Sexy Beast 03:41
I know You don’t like to be used You’re not a toy But let’s face it you’re such a pretty boy And when you walk, you hardly touch the ground And all the girls follow you around And all the boys really want to break you down Oooohhhh Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalala I know That beauty leaves a bruise I feel your pain All pretty boys start crying when it rains And boy, your voice has the sweetest sound Like all the girls, I follow you around and all the boys really want to break you down Oooohhhhh Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaalalalalalala You know, you’ve got my heart in your hands You know, I simply adore your black leather pants You make me weak in the knees (Hell yeah I love it) And I’m begging you please (please love me) Oooohhhhh Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaalalalala

Insomnia 02:55
Another night has gone away Faded to past And turned into day You don’t know how this feels No, you don’t know how this feels I’ve got nothing left Except way too much time I just can’t stop Wasting my life You don’t know how this feels No, you don’t know how this feels
