Best Friend's House
03:11
|
|||
I’m walking home alone from my best friends house
I’ve never felt so empty and so full of doubt
We’ll have gone our separate ways a couple months from now
Never having lived in the same damn house
I’m walking home alone from my best friends house
Two minutes down the road but they always ask
For a text when I get home so they know somehow
I haven’t died on the shortest route I know
Like the back of my hand
A bitter sweet goodbye
Now I’m on my own
Questioning why
All good things must end
I'm walking home from my best friends house
Been drinking like a fish but I know somehow
I’ll find my way home for the millionth time
Treat myself to something greasy and deep fried
I'm walking home alone from my best friends house
Smelling like a chimney I hope that don’t last
Remember when I drank so much that I passed out
Half a dozen times you carried me back home
A selfish girl with no taste
Lay me down inside
I might have a cry
Tryna figure out why
All good things must end
I'm walking home alone for the very last time
I’ll say I’ll see you soon so that I don’t cry
Three years sure as hell know how to fly by
But I’ll be by your side until the day I die
Woah like the back of my hand
A bitter sweet goodbye
Now I’m on my own
Questioning why
All good things must end

Messed Up Night
02:55
|
|||
Before you ask me, I wasn't even there
I was quiet in the corner waiting for that precious stare
Send me the green light, it's so unfair
Oh meet me in the hallway we'll make love on the stairs
Cos I will not wait
But I'll never make the same mistake twice
So Throw on your best T shirt
And dance me into the night
It's not wrong it's not right it's just one of those messed up night's, we'll both forget about
I can't forget, no I wont forget
The way you hold me, like you're so cool and you don't care
Well I see right through ya n I wanna come to ya but truth be told I'm a little scared oh no
What makes me do these , reckless and pointless things?
Self destructive behaviour, I'll call ya back later
I'm busy suffocating everything I love
But I'll never make the same mistake twice
I'm losing my head, but it actually feels quite nice
It's not wrong it's not right it's just one of those messed up night's, we'll both forget about
I can't forget, no I wont forget
I made a promise that I kept and then he kicked up a fuss about something I said
Well it could be worse at least we can still converse like grown up adults but sometimes we shout like teens
You get in your car and I scream
Something rude I can't remember but I bet you won't forget
I wanna take this opportunity to state my regret oh no
Cos guess who made the same mistake twice
I'm losing my head
But it actually feels alright
It's all wrong it's not right its another bloody messed up night, I wont forget about
I cant forget, No I wont forget about last night

Oyster
02:42
|

When I was a little girl I used to believe that the world was my oyster, but that was way back then
Now that I am older and the winter's just grow colder, I see my friend's are not smiling they're all crying yeah we're dying inside
I don't wanna hide
This is my contribution to
A society that wont say hi to me they walk right by me
Cos I'm not what they want
No don't you cry baby I'm by your side you see one day I'll set us free
And we'll be who we want
So I'm gonna wear my little black dress with the tiny white flowers so that I can feel less stressed and look a little mumsy
Straighten or curl my hair whichever one says I wanna be here but I don't care,
It's gone on for long enough and now I'm fighting inside
A war I cant find
This is my contribution to
A society that wont say hi to me they walk right by me
Cos I'm not what they want
No don't you cry baby I'm by your side you see one day I'll set us free
And we'll be who we want
So don't you dare feel disheartened
It's all part of a plan
Y'know the sun don't shine so bright when there's no rain
So jump in puddles while ya can
Hey society wont you say hi to me don't walk right by me
Cos ill be what you want
No don't you cry baby I'm by your side you see one day I'll set us free
And we'll be who we want
To a society that wont say hi to me they walk right by me
Cos I'm not what they want
No don't you cry baby I'm by your side you see one day I'll set us free
And we'll be who we want

Cult

All I ask
Is that you don't leave me in the past
On my back
You never said you'd leave me behind
I've seen you do it, half a dozen times
You say you've seen
Horrid things you can't unsee
Well just take me
Into the back where I can't see
It makes it just a little easier on me
And if you call me crazy, well you're insane
Don't you see he keeps all the monsters away
And you can try to save me, but I'm already saved
I wish that you could join us, But you're too late

Lion
03:29
|

One is a lion
One is a liar
One retreats while the other one seeks desire
Two isn't enough but
Three is a crowd
Is it too late for me to turn this ship around?
I'll tell you a secret
I know that you'll keep it cos
You're not one of those fools who listens when I am speaking
Tell you a secret
I hope that you'll keep
I've given you the power to decide if I sleep
And I can't help but feel like I deserve this
No I can't help but feel I've been deserted
No I can't help but wonder what's the purpose when you know, You're wrong, how do you carry on?
How do you carry on?
One is a lion
One is a liar
One's a thief and the other lives to conspire
Too many question, you're losing your crown
You're three steps closer to finding out how
To keep a secret
I know that you'll keep it cos
You're not one of those fools who listens when I am speaking
Tell you a secret
I hope that you'll keep
I've given you the power now give yourself to me
And I can't help but feel like I deserve this
No I can't help but feel I've been deserted
No I can't help but wonder what's the purpose when you know, you're wrong, how do you carry on?
That's one more nail in the casket
She cant bring herself to ask him
What's been going on now she is planning
Her own funeral what could go wrong?
That's one more nail in the casket
She can't bring herself to ask him
Tells herself that he is a bastard who doesn't deserve her love
He doesn't deserve her love
He doesn't deserve her love
He doesn't deserve her love
He doesn't deserve her love
And I can't help but feel like I deserve this
No I can't help but feel I've been deserted
No I can't help but wonder what's the purpose when you know, you're wrong, how do you carry on?

Never Needed You (Scars)
03:26
|
|||
Got my heart in between my teeth
Rather than on my sleeve
Or locked up in my chest
Y'know it never feels good being second best
But I, I see why you'd pick her and not me
Wrote a song to try and mend my heart
All it did was open up the scars
You should know that I find it hard
I gave you all I had and then you tore me apart
But I, I see why you'd pick her and not me
I, I never even got to say bye
I woke up and you'd gone
Probably on to the next one
And now I, I see why you'd pick her and not me
Sometimes I question if I know what love it
I get the thorns but never the roses
Sometimes I wonder if you were my friend
Or if I was just someone to pass the time in the end
You should know by now, that I would die for you
You know you're making it hard
For me to hide these scars
You never said sorry, you just ran
And now I don't know who I am
I just crumble underneath the pressure
I'm so lonely and you said you'd be there
But it's okay, I never needed you anyway
I never needed you any way hey hey hey
I never needed you any way hey hey hey
I never needed you any way hey hey hey
I never needed you any

Spinning
03:20
|
|||
Let me start right from the beginning, I was feeling slightly
unstable, unhinged, I didn't know where to begin
What's your name? What's your sign? I should've known cos he is a scorpio
'bout a million, and one times, I said we were not compatible
I've been spinning and would you like to come with me?
come on down to my city where nobody else can see
he said "I wont touch you unless you say you want me to
lie on my bed underneath you where nobody else can see"
Well this hardly is the first time that I've met my match with
insignificant stick man men with nobody to hold their hand
what's your game? I'm on your side and I swear that I'll behave myself
he said "You're no fun", pushed me aside
and said i should have another one
I've been spinning and would you like to come with me?
come on down to my city where nobody else can see
he said "I wont touch you unless you say you want me to
lie on my bed underneath you where nobody else can see"
They say that I should count my lucky stars that I wont remember the way they break my heart, I find it so hard to forget all the things I regret, well this aint one of 'em
men pretend to be your friend girl get out before the good times end
its not a unique situation to find yourself in but I hope its a situation you never find yourself in
Ive been spinning and would you like to come with me?
come on down to my city where nobody else can see
he said "I wont touch you unless you say you want me to
Lie on my bed underneath you where nobody else can see"

What's The Plan
03:20
|
|||
What's the plan now?
When are you gonna leave me be?
Take your things now
You owe nothing to me
Just leave
We've been here too many times before
To ever go back, back
But this time will be different because
I'm gonna lock to door
What's the plan now?
Take a look at yourself, you're a mess
Assess your ego
It's all gone to your head
Oh yeah
We've been here too many times before
To ever go back, back
But this time will be different because
I'm gonna lock the door
I'm gonna lock the door
Well you can try the back door you can try the window but this time I wont let you in no
Try the back door you can try the window but this time I wont let you in no
Try the back door you can try the window but this time I wont let you in no
Try the back door you can try the window but this time I wont let you in no
What's the plan now?
When are you gonna leave me be?
Take your things now
You owe nothing to me
Just leave oh just leave
