You give me nothing at all
Make me believe that you love me
I put my life in your hands
You put another above me
I can’t lie to myself
Feels like I’m wasting my time
Ever since the day that we met
You give me nothing but trouble
I try to call on the phone
I know that I’ll never reach you
I’m sitting home all alone
I’ve got a lesson to teach you
I can’t lie to myself
Feels like I’m wasting my time
Ever since the day that we met
You give me nothing but trouble
Why try talking to you
Why try seeing it through
You give me nothing but trouble
I try to conquer my fears
Hoping tomorrow is better
I tried hiding my tears
But now I’m sending this letter
I can’t lie to myself
Feels like I’m wasting my time
Ever since the day that we met
You give me nothing but trouble

I'd really love to get away from here
but that door is closed and now
I truly miss you more
than anyone could ever know but
I've got a picture of you
It helps me through the bitter days
I've got a picture of you
It keeps the memory of your face inside my mind
I know you miss me, too
and someday I'll be back with you but now
there's nothing I can do
I hope my dreams will pull me through 'cause
I've got a picture of you
It helps me through the bitter days
I've got a picture of you
It keeps the memory of your face inside my mind
At night when the lights go out
and I'm shaking in my bed
I sleep with a picture of your face
inside my head
I've got a longing in my heart
I've got an aching in my head
I've got a picture of your face
that hangs above my bed
I've got a picture of you
It helps me through the bitter days
I've got a picture of you
It keeps the memory of your face inside my mind

(You're a) Living Lie
03:23
|

Why is it all your best careers
end up in pieces on the ground?
Could there be something you don't know?
Something that no one tells you?
Somehow the smile across your face
seems to reflect a darker truth
How does it feel when you fine out
that everyone knows your secret?
You're a living lie
Living lie
You're a living lie
Living lie
Why do the people you call friends
often avoid you on the street?
Could there be something you don't know?
Something that no one tells you?
Why do the girls you say you're with
act like they've never seen your face?
How does it feel when you find out
that everyone knows your secret?
You're a living lie
Living lie
You're a living lie
Living lie
Why do the stories that you tell
seem so believable to you?
The truth is the cruelest joke of all
Looks like the joke is on you now
You're a living lie
Living lie
You're a living lie
Living lie
You're a living lie
Living lie
You're a living lie
Living lie

Kiss and Tell
02:32

Was there ever any risk that you would not take
Did you think that no one else ever dared
Were you selling secrets all this time
Only playing kiss and tell
Were you so naive to think you could win that game
Did you really think that I didn't see through you
Could you think that anyone was so blind
Were you selling secrets all this time
Always playing kiss and tell
Am I such a simple girl that I cannot see
There is only emptiness when I look at you
There is nothing anybody can say
Were you selling secrets all this time
Only playing kiss and tell
Did you really think there wasn't a price to pay

I'm not myself when i'm with you-ooo-ooo
Swear I don't know who to be
I'm someone else when I'm with you-ooo-ooo
It took too long for me to see
I walk through a world
In which everything is black and white
Stare at the floor
And I wonder if I'm wrong or right
And it's all because of you
It's not the way that it should be with you
I don't recognize myself
I'm someone someone else when I'm with you-ooo-ooo
Feel like crying out for help
I feel myself fall
Through a clouded reality
Find that I'm losing
My sense of stability
And it's all because of you
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU (robot Simone)
I feel myself fall
Through a clouded reality
Find that I'm losing
My sense of stability
And it's all because of you
Don't like myself when I'm with you-ooo-ooo
Don't like the way I treat my friends
I'm someone else when I'm with you-ooo-ooo
Act in ways I can't defend
I walk through a world
In which everything is black and white
Stare at the floor
And I wonder if I'm wrong or right
And it's all because of you
Feel myself fall
Through a clouded reality
Find that I'm losing
My sense of stability
And it's all because of you

You're Gonna Cry
02:27

Funny how things work out
Wouldn't you say so, baby?
Because you never had a doubt
That you were better than me
But now you're gonna cry
Now you're gonna cry
'Cause everything you wanted
just became mine
You thought that I could help you
You took advantage of me
Said so much crap behind my back
and told me that you love me
But now you're gonna cry
Now you're gonna cry
'Cause everything you wanted
just became mine
How does it feel
Watching me play Make-a-Deal
and you are where you've always been
Just not that pretty seventeen
Watch me leave you in the dust
'Cause though you undermined me
Get used to looking at my ass
You'll always be behind me
But now you're gonna cry
Now you're gonna cry
'Cause everything you wanted
just became mine

I Like Your Hair
03:46

I could throw myself upon you
like a rabid dog
But honestly
that isn't quite my style
I'm not even really sure if you're my type of guy
But something about you
drives me kind of wild
I don't like the colors that you choose to wear
And your sense of style I really cannot bear
But I like your hair
I have seen the other girls
who try to win your heart
I wondered what it was they saw in you
You know you're not the picture of a classic Roman god
But I admit
that now I see it, too
I don't like the colors that you choose to wear
And your reputation's far beyond repair
But I like your hair
I like your hair
I could throw myself upon you
like a rabid dog
But honestly
that isn't quite my style
I'm not even really sure if you're my type of guy
But something about you
drives me kind of wild

You've Lost Your Shine
03:02

Once upon a time
you were too good for me
Everything you wanted
came so easily
You've faded from the spotlight
Like you're last years fad
The desperation shows on you
It's oh-so-sad
You were once so fine
Now you've lost your shine
You were once so fine
Now you've lost your shine
You still think everybody
wants a piece of you
The world revolved around you once
I know it's true
You used to be a winner
'Til the game was changed
Now no one buys you dinner
And it feels so strange
You were once so fine
Now you've lost your shine
You were once so fine
Now you've lost your shine
They used to hang on every word you'd say
But that was long ago
and now they've turned away
You were once so fine
Now you've lost your shine
You were once so fine
Now you've lost your shine
