Can't Say
03:24
|
|||
Well I can't say how and I can't say why
I can just say, "Goodbye"
I look at you and I'm tongue-tied
But I can't say how, I can't say why
Can't say where and I can't say when
I can't say I'll see you again
But you're everywhere I've ever been
And I can't say where, I can't say when
‘Cause all we had is all but gone
And words don't make it right
All we are is all but wrong
And all the wrong words rhyme
Can't say how and I can't say why
I've said it a thousand times
You're all the reasons I live and die
But I can't say how, I can't say why
'Cause all we had is all but gone
And words don't make it right
All we are is all but wrong
And all the wrong words rhyme
Can't say when, I can't say who
But I can say he'll be nothing like you
And he'll love me the way that I loved you
But I can't say when, I can't say who
'Cause all we've had is all but gone
And words don't make it right
All we are is all but wrong
And all the wrong words rhyme
Can't say how, I can't say why
I should just say, “Goodbye"
But God only know I've tried
And I can't say how, I can't say why
No, I can't say how, I can't say why
I just can't say how, I can’t say why

Poison in My Veins
04:10
|
|||
You find your way into my blood
You are the one that's one too much
And never enough
You'll be my morning-after headache
You'll be my help-me-forget-this heartbreak
Just like poison in my veins
You're poison in my veins
I trust the words I shouldn't say
Like alcohol running to my brain
You're just poison in my veins
You are the kiss I should forget
My one night gone too far
My favorite accident
I prayed the morning wouldn't break
'Cause what more can my pride take
When there's poison in my veins
You're poison in my veins
I trust the words I shouldn't say
Like alcohol running to my brain
You're just poison in my veins
And you make me dizzy
You make me somebody that I don't even know
And you keep me spinning
But I drink you in still, I bring you in still
I keep you in, and you keep me warm
But I will ache with you when it's dawn again
'Cause I will wake and you'll be gone again
Just like poison
Poison in my veins
You're poison in my veins
You're that bittersweet taste on my lips
Can't get you outta my brain
You're just poison in my veins
And I can't stay away
From poison in my veins
Poison in my veins

Give a Damn Danny
03:52
|
|||
You say "Jump," and I'm fifteen feet up
You say "Come," and you know that I'll run
But I say "Please," you say you've heard enough
So it seems I never get to say much
But this isn't what I thought love was supposed to be
You don't give a damn, Danny
But you take a damn lot from me
You don't give a damn, Danny
But you're wearing my heart on your sleeve
And I keep giving and you keep taking
Everything that you can
But you take a damn lot for a man that don't give a damn
You only call 'cause you know I'm gonna be there
You want it all but you know that ain't fair
And I keep sayin, "Don't you ever come back around"
But you turn on the charm when my guard is down
So you get what you want, I barely live on what I need
You don't give a damn, Danny
But you take a damn lot from me
You don't give a damn, Danny
But you're wearing my heart on your sleeve
And I keep giving and you keep taking
Everything that you can
But you take a damn lot for a man that don't give a damn
And I give (give)
And I give (give)
And I give and you take, and I give and you take (give)
And I give (give)
And I give (give)
And I give (give)
And I give and you take, and I give and you take (give)
And I give, and I give, and I give
You don't give a damn, Danny
But you take a damn lot from me
You don't give a damn, Danny
But you take what you please
Still I keep giving and you keep taking
Everything that you can
But you take a damn lot for a man that don't give a damn
Oh, I just give a damn lot and Danny don’t give a damn

The Devil and Me
04:00
|
|||
They told me that my life was headed for the devil
And I asked them
"What's a life if you're living like you're dead?”
They started praying, they were saying
"Well we hope you'll be forgiven”
And even though I listened
I never heard a word they said
Guess I was born to be a sinner
I was born to be free
I was born to dance on two left feet
So I kept on walking, I started talking with the devil
And I asked him
"What's a life if you live it like you're dead?”
He took my soul and he washed it in a whiskey river
I took his hand, we stood back
And watched the banks turn red
'Cause I was born to be a sinner
I was born to be free
I was born to dance on two left feet
And raised up to be the rebel
I was made with a little bit of fire, you see
I guess it's always been the devil and me
If I hear those angels singing my song
Well I’ll shiver
'Cause I know they won't be coming here
For anybody else
But I won't pray, I've made my grave
And I'll sleep in it
If there's a heaven, Lord, I'm headed straight for hell
'Cause I was born to be a sinner
I was born to be free
I was born to dance on two left feet
And raised up to be the rebel
I was blind but now I see
I guess it's always been the devil and me

Won't Talk
04:33
|
|||
I'm gonna kick myself awake when this buzz wears off
And lay here in the shame of your arms
And I'll keep my eyes low
If you keep your eyes low
I won't talk if you won't talk
We can walk away in the morning
I won't call if you won't call
We both know it's nothing more than
I'm just drunk and you're just drunk
We wake up with guilt in our bones
And these shameful souls
I won't talk if you won’t
She's gonna wonder where you've been
But you won't tell her
My friends will all just turn their heads
‘Cause they know better
And I'll keep my eyes low
If you keep your mouth closed
I won't talk if you won't talk
No one wants to know what we've done
I won't call if you won't call
We both know another night comes
And I'll be drunk, you'll be drunk
We'll end up down this same road
No one needs to know
So I won't talk if you won't
’Cause this isn't love we're making, only taking
I'm just hating everything this is
Everything we've been
I know that I am weak
I can’t believe I’ve had a need to feel the way I felt
Underneath your spell
When I'm lonesome, you're lonesome
Then I won't talk and you won't talk
And we'll just walk away
And I won't call 'cause you don't call
There's nothing left to say
But when I'm drunk, and when you’re drunk
And all we want is something to hold
Take me home
Then I won't talk if you won't
No, I won't talk if you won't
I won't talk if you won't

In the Dark
04:06
|
|||
There are monsters underneath my bed
Keep me up all night and scared to death
'Cause I hear them scream
In my dreams
There are skeletons living in my head
Locked in closets that were never opened
'Til you held me
How you held me
I've done it this time
Lost my mind
You’re haunting my heart
Just like a demon in the dark
There's a ghost inside my bones talking like you
Whispering secrets of the things you do
When you are all alone
You are all I know
I've done it this time
Lost my mind
You’re haunting my heart
Just like a demon in the dark
I hear those voices in my head
Down the hallways always footsteps
You're in my head
It's all in my head
I've done it this time
Lost my mind
You’re haunting my heart
Just like a demon in the dark
I've done it this time
Gone and lost my mind
So have my heart
‘Cause you’re the demon in the dark

Fickle Heart
03:21
|
|||
My heart, my heart, my fickle heart
Longs for sun and lays in the dark
Aims for love and misses the mark
My heart, my heart, my fickle heart
My feet, my feet, my tired feet
Have carried my fast and far in retreat
But now I'm kicking myself to sleep
With my feet, my feet, my tired feet
My mind, my mind, my restless mind
Is caught on the bridges I've left in flames behind
Every step overthought and analyzed
'Til I lose my mind
In the cold sweats underneath the sheets
I was trembling with dreams I hate to dream
You stayed awake, clutching my face
Trying to save my teeth
Now I grind them to dust
My bones, my bones, my aching bones
Are broken and bruised from your sticks and stones
But your words put the knife in my soul
Leaving just bones, aching bones
And my fickle heart doesn't have a home
To rest these bones, aching bones
Now I'm just bones, bones
