I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
You say you’re gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Why’d you have to go and pick me?
When you knew that we were different, completely
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
Your wildness scares me
So does your freedom
You say you can’t stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
If you were meant to be my lover I wouldn’t have to
And I feel so mean, I feel in between
‘Cause I’m about to give you away
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend (for someone else to take)
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend (am I making a mistake?)
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them (all the time that we spent)
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girl, friend
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I’m about to give you away for someone else to take
I’m about to give you away for someone else to take
We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs
And we’ve been in between the days for years
And I know that when I see you I’m going to die
I know I’m going to want you and you know why
It’s going to kill me to see you with the next girl
‘Cause I’m the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex-girl friend
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
I’m another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed� |

| Simple Kind Of Life |
02 |
|
|
For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn’t work out, I’m covered in shells
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife
I’m so ashamed, I’ve been so mean
I don’t know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all the love
You can along, I’m hunting you down
Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine?
I always thought I’d be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you’d be a good dad
Now all those simple things are simply too
complicated for my life
How’d I get so faithful to my freedom?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life� |

You and your museum of lovers
The precious collection you’ve housed in your covers
My simpleness threatened by my own admission
And the bags are much too heavy
In my insecure condition
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn’t love another
I can’t help it...you’re my kind of man
Wanted and adored by attractive women
Bountiful selection at your discretion
I know I’m diving into my own destruction
So why do we choose the boys that are naught?
I don’t fit in so why do you want me?
And I know I can’t tame you...but I just keep trying
‘Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn’t love another
I’m on your list with all your other women
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
You make me feel like I couldn’t love another
I can’t help it...you’re my kind of man
Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?
So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions
‘Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn’t love another
Share a toothbrush...you’re my kind of man
I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Make me feel like you couldn’t love another
I can’t help it...you’re my kind of man
No I can’t help myself
I can’t help myself
I still love to wash in your old bathwater� |

| Six Feet Under |
04 |
|
|
In the morning I wake up
And in the night I sleep
Since the day that I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I’ll be buried six feet underground
Subconsciously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conception
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I’ll be buried six feet underground
I’ll be dead and gone, no longer around
Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generations
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Then give birth to my own daughter
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I’ll be buried six feet underground
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day...
Hard to believe
But I’ll be buried six feet underground
I’ll be dead and gone, no longer around
But I’ll be buried six feet underground� |

Can you tell I’m faking it?
But I want to be myself
A counterfeit disposition
Can’t be good for my health
So many different faces
Depending on the different phases
My personality changes
I’m a chameleon
There’s more than one dimension
I can fool you and attract attention
Camouflage my nature
Let me demonstrate...
Makeup’s all off
Who am I?
Magic’s in the make up
Who am I?
If you bore me then I’m comfortable
If you interest me I’m scared
My attraction paralyzes me
No courage to show my true colors that exist
But I want to be the real thing
But if you catch my eye can’t be authentic
The one’s I loath are the one’s that know me the best
My makeup’s all off
Who am I?
The magic’s in the make up
Who am I?
The makeup’s all off
Who am I?
If the magic’s in the make up
Then who am I?
Magic’s in the makeup
But I want to be real the thing
But the magic’s in the makeup
And I want to be the real thing
My makeup’s all of
Who am I?� |

Oh yes I’m guilty
For leasing myself out
Not ready to go up for sale
Can’t seem to give it up
Stubborn, so selfish
I’m showing off the worst in me
The return of Saturn
Assessing my life
Second guessing...
I’m full of artificial sweetener
My heart’s been deceitful
It’s all artificial sweetener
I’m faking I love you’s
You’re forcing me to
You really deserve love
I want to love you
But I can’t seem to find myself
My wilting effort
Our progress report
I’m only sure that I’m not sure
I shudder to be honest
Who’s behind it all now?
Who’s the author?
I’m full of artificial sweetener
My heart’s been deceitful
It’s all artificial sweetener
I’m faking I love you’s
You’re forcing me to
Re-read, re-write, redo, undo
I’m stuck on this page
I was born two weeks late
Is that why I hesitate?
I’m on the fence
Push me off it
I want to be on your side now
And keep a promise
I’m full of artificial sweetener
My heart’s been deceitful
It’s all artificial sweetener
My heart’s been deceitful
I’m faking I love you’s
You’re forcing me to� |

| Marry Me |
07 |
|
|
I can’t help that I like to be kissed
And I wouldn’t mind if my name changed to Mrs.
This is one side, my conventional side
An attraction to tradition
My vintage disposition
My sincere architecture
And I want to cook him dinner
But I’m more indecisive than ever
And who believes in forever?
Who will be the one to marry me?
A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree
A creature conditioned to employ matrimony
Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces
The ceremony makes me zealous
As the past quickly ceases
Fear from being neutered
I’m not prude, now defensive
Quickly I’m altered and tempted by new love only rented
Do you believe you’ll marry me?
You might be the one to marry me
Back, looking back, looking back at me
I’m not how I used to be
Take me back, take me back, into history
Diamond ring, tie me down just like it used to be
Who will be the one to marry me?
Who will be the one to marry me?� |

Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
New, you're so new
My normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
'Cause I've never had this taste in my mouth
You're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered and I'm learning about you
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And you're consuming me violently
And your reverence shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac?
'Cause I never had this taste in the past
You're different, you're different from the former
Like a fresh battery I'm energized by you
Chorus
Why am I so curious?
This territory is dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
Chorus
And I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away� |

I just want to take you away from everyone
And keep you stashed under my pillow
And then I’d take you out simply for my own pleasure
And wear you when the occasions special
Then I’d put you on like a diamond
So I can sparkle and be the envy of my friends
I’d proudly hold the leash that I’d have you on
So you can’t stray and follow me around all day
It’s too late now
I don’t think it can fade
It’s too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
Compulsion has stained me
I’m nervously cradling our young love
Without known limits love
Like a butterfly cupped in my hands
I peek in to see beauty trapped
Confined it flutters
Then it leaves behind colorful dust
To remind me of the special times we’ve spent
But of course it has to leave my clutch
But enough’s never enough to make a dent
It’s too late now
I don’t think it can fade
It’s too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
And in time it will end
And there really isn’t hope for the two of us
But right now I give in...
It’s too late now
I don’t think it can fade
It’s too real now
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the
Fulfillment just adds fuel to the blaze� |

| Comforting Lie |

I started out on the wrong foot
Now I’m not myself
I am Jekyll, I am Hyde
Found this place to hide
Come seek me
Oh, so up and down
So back and forth
So insecure
Can’t get this taste out of my mouth
Swallow it down
Pretend
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it
I’m just a normal person
Without those problems
When did it change?
Admissions so embarrassing
I’m on the verge of tears again
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it
Oh look I took the Band-Aid off
Did I take it off too soon?
Hysterical confession
My big courageous move
Don’t gasp at the predictable
A comforting lie can’t last
Preordained checklist of this awkward love
It’s so sad
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it
Sort it, sort it out
Just give it back
No thank you
Toss it, toss it away
Eliminate
Just give up
I can’t decide
This tug of war
I’m feeling weak� |

My divorce from dependence
That’s when you found me
I was still soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And trouble’s what we are
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We’re playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Now that I’ve murdered your inspiration
And I forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge?
I want to call you
But I won’t
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We’re playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Oh the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
I’ve been hardened by the circumstance
We knew this was coming
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We’re playing it again
Suspension without suspense
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We’re playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Intentions without intent
But I don’t want the love we have to end� |

| Staring Problem |

My eyes are so rootless
They wander, I follow
I keep staring, I can’t stop it
I know I shouldn’t
But I can’t stop it
Such a cute girl
I’m so jealous
I wish I looked exactly like her
What’s it like to have that body?
I’m gawking while I wonder
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can’t stop staring
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can’t stop staring
With my envy I steal glances
Resentful fault finder
This peek-a-boo’s become a problem
Predisposed cat fighter
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can’t stop staring
S-T-A-R-I-N-G
I can’t stop staring� |

I’m hanging out with me
And you’re a vacant chair
A chosen compromise
This space we rarely share
And if you lived here you’d be home now
So what you givin’ up for me?
And what shall I give up for you?
Aimless expectations passing by
If you lived here you’d be home now
If you lived here you’d be home now
And to make it real
I need to have you here
I need to have you
I need to have you
Barren wasted heart
Neglect of normalcy
And if you lived here you’d be home now
Oh if you lived here you’d be home now
And to make it real
I need to have you here
I need to have you
It can’t be sincere
Unless you spend time here
I need to see you...
Supervision is what I need
Some consistence, tangibility
Some casual light days
Part of the furniture
I want to take you for granted
And see you regular
So what you givin’ up for me?
And what shall I give up for you?
The separations tired, it’s been too long
And to make it real
I need to have you here
I need to have you
It can’t be sincere
Unless you spend time here
I need to see you
I need you...
Come home now� |

I’m tired from exploring you
I’m sorry you’ve had some scary days
I’m lucky, they had me on a leash
Exposing, sometimes you frighten me
And it’s too bad you’re so sad
I wish you could have had what I had
I’m loathing most of your history
Hesitation, but then you siphon me
Your potential, well I’ll indulge in that
Violent timing explains the aftermath
And it’s too bad you’re so sad
I wish you could have had what I had
And it’s so sad it’s too bad
Maybe I can make you feel better
Oh maybe I’m supposed to make you feel better
I want to comfort you
Unlike you I had it easy
You’re dark blue
Stained from previous days
And you’re so sad
It’s too bad
I wish you could have had what I had
And it’s too bad you’re so sad
Maybe I can make you feel better
I’m sorry� |
