song of the moment
SHEDaisy
When I said I love you, baby
You said knock on wood
I'm afraid I knocked harder
Than I probably should
Those mockingbird words got away from me
Wish I could take them back, yeah
I wonder how you've been Since we kissed good-bye
'Cause the grass ain't any greener here on my side
I thought the broken pieces would all blow away
When the season changed But nothing's changed
Chorus:
The alarm still rings at five-fifteen
The day goes off like a rifle
Mrs. Jones next door is still extreme
Goes on and on about the Bible
What comes around still goes around
Sun comes up, sun goes down
And love goes on Yeah, love goes on when you're gone
If we ran into each other, wonder what I'd say
Baby, please come home
Or, looks like rain today
Heard you're moving to Denver
No, I'd never have guessed
Or would I just confess
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
It's an ache in the bones,
it's a ghost in the trees
It's the one little tear
that could fill up the sea
I happened to you,
you happened to me
But now that's gone
And love goes on,
yeah love goes on I said,
love goes on
And love goes on and on and on and on
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah, when you're gone
(It's an ache in the bones - it's a ghost in the trees)
Yeah, yeah when you're gone
(It's the one little tear that could fill up the sea)
When I was born they looked at me and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
And when you were born they looked at you and said
What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl
We've got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls we just look away
Chorus
This name is the hairshirt I wear
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
This song is the cross that I bear
Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me
Be with me tonight
I know that it isn't right
But be with me tonight
I go to school, I write exams
If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn?
And if they do, they'll soon forget
'Cause it won't take much for me to show that my life ain't over yet
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
And everything around me stays the same
Chorus
I couldn't tell you that I was wrong
Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song
I couldn't tell you that you were right
So instead I looked in the mirror watched tv laid awake all night
We've got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls....
Chorus
When I was born they looked at me and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
And when you were born they looked at you and said
What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey
Break Your Heart
The bravest thing, I've ever done
Was to run away and hide
But not this time, not this time
And the weakest thing I've ever done
Was to stay right by your side
Just like this time, and everytime
I couldn't tell you I was happy you were gone
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart
I couldn't tell you, so I had to lead you on
But I didn't mean to break your heart
And If I always seem distracted
Like my minds somewhere else
That's because it's true, yes it's true
It's this stupid pride that makes me feel
Like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, loving you
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
When I guess I should have just come out and told
you right from the start
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
I guess 'cause I wouldn't want to break your heart
And you say
"What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak you know
What'd you think that I was gonna do,
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
How could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time"
And now I know that you will be okay,
And I've got what I want and that's rid of you
Good-bye
And it's not 'cause I'll be missing you
That makes me fall apart
It's just that I didn't mean to break
No I didn't mean to break
Your heart
