How do I feel? Alone and lousy
And I may seem selfish, but I need
A little break on my own, can't you see
I'm just tired of being phony

So for a while stop calling me, my friend
I've spent 20 years forgetting myself, and then
What else?! Am I just incomplete
Sometim

And if i miss my shot
You might not wanna try
To fly anymore
I washed your broken wings, wiped off the blood
It helped but didn't cure
Many times you saw me fall down from the nest
And get back on my feet
I saw you laying on the ground, life's unfair
Don't let the

I hate you as many as you are!

Enthroned on the highest chair, a little
Tiny peek at me and then back to your world
Playing for the staff that couldn't care less
Singing as low as possible but

I hate the way you make me feel annoying
I hate the power you've got on my

You don't fathom me, I thought
For a while it's just because I didn't make any sense
If it's hard for me to speak, I'm sure
It's not because there's nothing left here for me to tell
 
So marry me then leave me on the kitchen floor
You can still get lost
When you know

I could stand losing you
5 minutes forsaken
For 5 minutes hold me
300 seconds more and erase it all
5 minutes more
 
Dare me to promise and I would
Might kill it all and maybe I should
Are we too fragile to say we could
My heart of glass trapped in a heart of

I won't try to argue now
Anyway I feel there's nothing I could say
To ease your mind
Maybe there's nothing exciting outside
But ‘round here I'm just wasting my time
Spinning ‘round on nothing new
When I close my eyes I remember that kiss
I'd rather keep them wide open

The world's not gonna end
I made this promise to me
Repeating to myself 12 times a day
Nobody loves no one, anyway
But someone is still crying
In a corner of my head
& if you believe me when I say I'm alright

This week is gonna end
Make this promise to me

I hear only what i wanna hear
And take what i feel like taking
Then build my own moral and right way to live
So most people think that i'm a prize
But everyone is always surprised
When the girl next door has bats in her belfry
 
I -- can't -- quit
Spying on my nei

I thought I saw your car but then I always look for it
I wasn't really expecting you to show up at the liquor store door
 
I saw the village idiot you we're having a fight with
I couldn't tell where he was going, running in the middle of the boulevard
Brandishing peace signs

Let's have a drink
At least find a place to sit
How I enjoy these times
My mind locked on your lips
I'm still listening
I'm just a little out of it
Who's that man?
Why did he turn the neon on?

Yesterday we nailed our show
And this morning I wander a city
I still don't know much about
It's warmer than back home
But the wind blows colder
 
We share our mothers' language
But I don't get everything they say
How can I explain that?
Even in my country

Don't feel threatened
Nobody's here to break your heart
It's nothing new
The higher you get, the further you fall
I'm terrified too
 
Cuz we might get hurt
Just like we hurt others too
But life hurts
Does that mean it's not worth going through?
 
It ra

… If there's a lot on your plate
Eat all you can get
Your guilt's pointless
And it's already tomorrow...

Side by side, hand in hand, crossing the street
My feet are getting wet but there's no way I'm going inside
A face to face, a quiet place, a cup of coffee to go

I have grown up to the sound of the ring of bells
Telling me when it's time to turn to the next page
And I do believe in happy endings, but I learned it the hard way
More than once I crunched the fruit and still felt raw raw raw
 
One more time someone ate all of my soup

My nearest and dearest
Once again are begging me to slow down
Cuz I cry when I slip and fall
But if I never knock
Who's gonna know I'm right here behind the door
Cuz you can't read my thoughts
And I can't dance to save my life

Beat the words you wanna hear
Your

I am not gonna make it
I can see the crowd around me
Is getting bigger, & as it is
I'm trying to figure out
Why I feel so isolated
I have my friends
But don't have much time for them
I have my house
A tiny pocket in my luggage
I have my boyfriend
But h

Am I that scary or are you only indifferent
Are you ashamed to show me?
Sometimes I know I can be different
Are you proud of me?
Those nights when I sing at the restaurant?
Or would you prefer to be free?
Just too busy to keep your arms open?

Am I just too strange?<

Watching my favorite reality show
Waiting for the commercial to get another Diet Pepsi
I got 5 minutes between two programs, so I'm already wearing my coat
The musical theme starts and I'm running to the grocery
Buying my lottery, saying to the cashier,
I'd better be lucky ‘c

I saw you rolled your eyes while i was telling you about my day
What stephanie said and david did
You used to like my tongue to wag for no reason
I guess we all get used to everything

Then you asked me if i still loved you
And i nodded yes like an old reflex
You were ab

Cats got my tongue
All the bords flew out of my mind
Everybody's working for the right rhyme
Cats got my tongue
 
Cats got my tongue
And all the air rushed out of my lungs
Everybody's waiting for the right time
I see your soul
 
Cats got my tongue
