I remember when I was a little girl Our house caught on fire I'll never forget the look on my father's face As he gathered me up in his arms And raced through the burning building onto the pavement And I stood there shivering in my pajamas And watched the whole world go up in flames And when it was all over I said to myself "Is that all there is to a fire?" Is that all there is? I know what you must be saying to yourselves "If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?" Oh, no. Not me I'm not ready for that final disappointment Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you That when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself Can't promise that things won't be broken But I swear that I will never leave (I will never leave) Please stay forever with me (me) I won't be held down By who I used to be She's nothing to me (me, me, me, me)

I've been waiting I've been waiting for this moment all my life But it's not quite right And this "real" It's impossible, if possible, at whose blind word? So clear, but so unheard In another life God is it fun, when you can have more than one Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young Before you know it, it’s done Let’s be more than in another life God is it fun, when you can have more than one Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young Before you know it, it’s done Let’s be more than this I've been waiting I've been waiting for this silence all night long It's just a matter of time To appear sad With the same ol' decent lazy eye fixed to rest on you Aim free, but so untrue But in another life God is it fun, when you can have more than one Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young Before you know it, it’s done Let’s be more than in another life God is it fun, when you can have more than one Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young Before you know it, it’s done Let’s be more than this If I could write a letter to Heaven I would tell my mama that I shoulda been listenin' And I would tell her sorry that I really been wildin' And ask her to forgive me, 'cause I really been tryin' And I would ask please, show me who been real And get 'em from around me if they all been fake It's crazy how I say the same prayers to the Lord And always get surprised about who he take, man I'm really thinkin' 'bout dialin' 9-1-1 'til I freak 'Cause they probably won't think it's that deep And I don't do drugs, so I never get a time when I'm at ease I can't even handle smokin' weed Marilyn Monroe, my favorite ho My favorite bad bitch, I think she the GOAT Jammin' to Britney, singin' to Whitney I just wan' talk to somebody that get me (somebody that get me, somebody that get me) In another life God is it fun, when you can have more than one Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young Before you know it, it’s done Let’s be more than in another life God is it fun, when you can have more than one Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young Before you know it, it’s done Let’s be more than this

That was just a dream Just a dream, just a dream Sleep now in the fire Then I feel nothing Sleep now in the fire (Needle in the hay, needle in the hay, needle in the hay) Then I feel nothing (Needle in the hay) You know I'm bad at love (Ooh-ooh) But you can't blame me for tryin' You know I'd be lyin' sayin' You were the one (Ooh-ooh) That could finally fix me Lookin' at my history I'm bad at love (Owner of a lonely heart) Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know (Owner of a lonely heart) (Much better than a) I'm bad at love (Owner of a broken heart) Ohhhh (Owner of a lonely heart) I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything

I really wanna stop, but I just got the taste for it I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon So honey, hold my hand, you like making me wait for it I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah Late night watching television But how'd we get in this position? It's way too soon, I know this isn't love Lay this to rest I really, really, really, really, really, really like you And I want you, do you want me, do you—(Who gives a fuck?)

I'm staring at a broken door There's nothing left here anymore My room is cold It's making me insane I've been waiting here so long But now the moment seems to have come I see the dark clouds coming up again I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defending now? You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out I think I've seen this film before (Yeah) That’s what the baddest do, it’s crazy A half-moon’s fading from my sight I see your vision in its light But now it's gone and left me so alone I know I have to find you now Can hear your name, I don't know how Why can't we make this darkness feel like home? I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defending now? You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out I think I've seen this film before So I'm leavin' out the side door So step right out, there is no amount Of crying I can do for you All this time We always walked a very thin line You didn't even hear me out (Didn't even hear me out) You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs) All this time I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind) I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around) 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs) All this time (So many times) I never learned to read your mind (So many signs) I couldn't turn things around (I couldn't turn things around) 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign) Nobody waits for me Nobody takes from me Nobody waits for me Nobody takes from me Hey, sorry I missed your call, just leave a message after the beep Hey, it's me It's tough right now But it'll get better, right? Call me

Yeah Ooh ooh ooh In this town called Malice Anyone can start again Not through love, but through revenge Through the fire, we're born again Peace by vengeance brings the end

I don't believe in cutting corners Own it like a scar on the face Stand tall whether taking the gold or in last place Not really the one to give God praise But if you got the gospel then tell me how it taste Hallelujah Biting on the bullet for strength I'm a long distance runner sucker I'm in it for length, huh It's not a matter of whether or not you can play But a scale of if you give a fuck enough to make a statement Lay it down Separate the men from the mice Another body under halogen lights missing its life Wondering what the hell would make you think that You could judge another person for loving something so much it hurts the stomach Living by the blood in my neck With a bullseye tatted on the back of my head I never spoke it how they wanted it to be said So they left me for the winter and the wolves Run baby run I don't believe in sitting down Take it like a knife in the back You burnt out into nothing after striking a match I've never been the type to follow the pack So if it's true you got the answers Then why the hell you so mad then? Another holy ghost laid script Clipped the wings off of my words And buried the shiv They want to pick apart the passion in my ribs I invite them Cause I don't run away from shit Lay it out Separate the guns and the flowers The minutes that go into all these hours And I bet if you were given a smidgen of just the tip of the iceberg I've had to struggle with You wouldn't act so sour, maybe not Livin off the fruit of my stress With a size twelve boot heel stepping on my chest Didn't do it how they wanted it to end So they threw me to the winter and wolves Run baby run, don't ever look back They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance (Give them the chance) Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be Run baby run, forever we'll be You and me You and me You and me

I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark You've never seen it look so easy I got a river for a soul, and, baby, you're a boat Baby, you're my only reason If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left The shell of a man who could never be his best If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun You taught me how to be someone, yeah You'll never learn to fly now ‘til you're standing at the cliff And you can't truly love until you've given up on it Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (When we’re together) No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (In the heat of pleasure) Do you got what it takes to set me free? (Always feel you near) So say the words I long to hear “Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you” I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark You've never seen it look so easy I got a river for a soul, and baby, you're a boat Baby, you're my only reason If I didn't have you there would be nothing left (Nothing left) The shell of a man who could never be his best (Be his best) If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun (See the sun) You taught me how to be someone, yeah You'll never learn to fly now ‘til you're standing at the cliff And you can't truly love until you've given up on it Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (When we’re together) No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (In the heat of pleasure) Do you got what it takes to set me free? (Always feel you near) So say the words I long to hear “Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you” We'll try again When we're not so different We will make amends 'Til then I'll just pretend I'm waiting and fading and floating away Waiting and fading and floating away Waiting and fading and floating away Waiting and fading— We're so full of Sugar, honey, ice, and tea (When we’re together) Sugar, honey, ice, and tea (In the heat of pleasure) Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (I can stay away if you want me to) No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (Heaven knows I ain't getting over you)

I've been hiding from the world and I need to re-enter And then, the funniest thing happened Sink until you're unimpaired Slow motion like a rolling eye We can hear you loud and clear Suicide season is upon and high Why you always saying, "Let the good times roll"? Kick your mind open like a punk rock show Uppercut, bleeding through the soffit nose If you didn't come home injured, would you say it was a good show? 'Cause every single fucking day I try to roll my eyes and breathe Heartache to heartache We stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield (This is only a distraction) Swing, batter up, let's play Powеr until the target bleeds This gun would never turn on me So, Paul Meany, will you drop that beat Why you always saying, "Let that shit go"? Pennywise fashion on a sad skid row A gentrified neighborhood of blood-soaked homes Draw the lines a little further, now they're coming back to get you 'Cause every single fucking day I try to roll my eyes and breathe Heartache to heartache We stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong No one can tell us we're wrong Searching our hearts for so long Both of us knowing Love is a battlefield I'm so numb and the air so cold Didn't wanna lie to you, please don't go I'm a fucking devil, nigga, I already know Break this fucking phone, then away I go I’m so done with the way she be At the same time it’s because of me Girl, I see I'm the one with the key, (uh, uh) We are young Heartache to heartache We stand No promises, no demands Love is a battlefield We are strong No one can tell us we're wrong Searching our hearts for so long Both of us knowing Love is a battlefield I'm so numb and the air so cold Didn't wanna lie to you, please don't go I'm a fucking devil, nigga, I already know Break this fucking phone, then away I go I’m so done with the way she be At the same time it’s because of me Girl, I see I'm the one with the key

I live my life in the city And there's no easy way out The day's moving just too fast for me I need some time in the sunshine I've gotta slow it right down The day's moving just too fast for me (Oh) Set me free, why don'tcha, baby? Get out my life, why don'tcha, baby? 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hanging on And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you (Ooh) I live my life in the city And there's no easy way out The day's moving just too fast for me I need some time in the sunshine I've gotta slow it right down The day's moving just too fast for me (Oh) (Hey) Set me free, why don'tcha, baby? Let me be, why don'tcha, baby? 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hanging on And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you (Ooh) If you love me Then let go of me If you love me Then let go of me (Ooh-woo, ooh) ‘Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hanging on If you love me Then let go of me (Ooh-woo, ooh) Now, you don't really want me You just keep me hanging on And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you (who I used to be)

I know, I know you must follow the sun Wherever it leads But remember If you should fall short of your desires Remember life holds for you one guarantee You'll always have me And if you should miss my lovin' One of these old days If you should ever miss the arms That used to hold you so close Or the lips that used to touch yours so tenderly Just remember what I told you The day I set you free Is that all there is?
