Pockets of tears, they weigh Weigh my cloudy eyes down I cannot seem to shake Shake my head of this silent sound I took my feelings and locked them up In a closet, man, I handed you the key. You call me crazy but now I know that The crazy one aint me Ooh Ooh Remember when you told me That you’d love me each and every night? Remember when you told me You said “You know I’ll always treat ya right girl” You made a promise to help and hold me Till my dying day, and now you’re gone You call me crazy but now I know that Darling, you were wrong and oh It’s getting harder now my baby To rearrange my frown It’s getting harder now my baby To rearrange my frown Go my baby go Take what’s yours and Hit the road All I wanted was for you to be kind You took to lying You made a fool Made a fool Made a fool out of me Beautiful boy, you know You know your looks can get you Oh so far Happiness comes to those Who truly have an honest heart It’s getting harder now my baby To rearrange my frown It’s getting harder now my baby To rearrange my frown Go my baby go Take what’s yours and Hit the road All I wanted was for you to be kind You took to lying You made a fool out me See when you talk that way You send me messages that I don’t understand What you said that day Thought I’d believe it but I knew what you had planned Now I can see I can see Now I can see I can see Go my baby go Take what’s yours and Hit the road All I wanted was for you to be kind You took to lying You made a fool Go now, I said go Take what’s yours and Hit the road All I wanted was for you to be kind You took to lying You made a fool out of me

I Tried 03:46
Foolish and hoping You and me both Wearing our young souls down I became distant Feeling the space You simply weren’t around How was your day love? Mine was just fine Same old story just to pass the time Good night, I love you Words that were true Opened my mind But my heart shined through It wasn’t right It wasn’t fair All that you did was love me And when you thought That I didn’t care The space made it hard to show it In my mind Oh I swear that I tried to make my way back To your love Remnants of you boy Fill up my room Screaming my name so loud If you only knew What you’re doing What you do to me love It wasn’t right It wasn’t fair All that you did was love me And when you thought That I didn’t care The space made it hard to show it In my mind Oh I swear that I tried to make my way back To your love

Left Unsaid 04:55
Feels like we’ve reached a dead end Seems like there should be more that could be said To vouch for this place we now rest To have what it is I feel make a little sense Seems like I’ve been here one thousand times I’ve always been on the outside Guess I’ll just take my own advice Always been so damn sure that they’d be fine I find myself alone thinking of you I try and act like I don’t care if you’re thinking bout me too Were we makin’ love or was I just lovin’ you? You’re not the one, it’s all in my head I’ve got so much on my mind that was left unsaid When you’re out of site, you’re out of my mind Now you’re fucking with my plan, I don’t have the time To be trying to separate my heart from my head. Maybe all these miles between us They keep us captive for a reason Is it worse to wonder? Or to find it’d be no different? Your breath on my neck, it was my favorite tease You said, “Girl you’re so amazing” How did you mean? Were we makin’ love or were you just lovin’ me? You’re not the one, it’s all in my head I’ve got so much on my mind that was left unsaid When you’re out of site, you’re out of my mind Now you’re fucking with my plan, I don’t have the time To be trying to separate my heart from my head.

Rules Within 03:00
We're all so busy busy, makeshift I care, but not enough It makes me dizzy dizzy, fake shit cut out the senseless stuff Do you believe in love? Do you believe in something up above? Do you believe in us? Have you another who you know you trust? Switch off the television white noise Put on a record now Let's make our own decisions with poise Let's make our fathers proud Do you believe in love? Do you believe in something up above? Do you believe in us? Have you another who you know you trust? What makes your skin crawl across, your heart fall out your chest? Have you no rules within? What if today, what you wished for was sure to manifest. What would you dream of? Who would you be with? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in something up above? Do you believe in us? Have you another who you know you trust? How do you rule. How do you rule within?

Say Anything 04:56
Told him boy I mistreat ya, A mouse in her throat In her throat, in her throat. Told him boy I’ve gotta leave ya Hit him in his bones In his bones, in his bones. It’s a dangerous game that they're playing now Steady fighting hard to fix the feeling now She could say anything He'd come running She could say anything He'd still love her Cause you know he needs his lady And you know he'll love her right until the sun burns out Until the sun burns out Told her ‘Girl, you don't mean it’ Time and time again and again and again Asked her ‘Girl, whats your reasons?’ We can try to mend it and mend it and mend it Maybe he's at fault for empty wishing now Let it rest, its painful repetition now She could say anything He'd come running She could say anything He'd still love her Cause you know he needs his lady And you know he'll love her right until the sun burns out Until the sun burns out  Oohh, ooh, ooh, oohh She could say anything He’d come running She could say anything He'd still love her Cause you know he needs his lady She could say anything He’d come running She could say anything He'd still love her Cause you know he needs his lady And you know he'll love her right until the Sun burns out. Until the sun burns out. Until the sun burns out.

Just Fine 04:20
What makes you think that you can walk right back? What makes you think that I will take you back? It took a while for me to rid my mind of your poison What makes you think that you can walk right back? Before you came, I never loved like that. Before you came, I always wanted that When you left, you never told me why Before you came, I never hurt like that Way back, we were younger, younger. I needed you so bad, so bad. I was headed under You left me alone Now please, oh please You’ve got to know You had your chance to make me yours Can’t you see I’m doing just fine. What makes you think you can walk right back? What makes you think I even want you back? It took a while for me to rid my mind of your poison What makes you think I even need you back? Way back, we were younger, younger. I needed you so bad, so bad. I was headed under You left me alone Now please, oh please You’ve got to know You had your chance to make me yours Can’t you see I’m doing just fine. Now I find I’m feeling sorry for your pain And I cannot help but be a friend for you today But despite my listening I’ve got so much I’ve got so much I’ve got so much to say I’m doing fine.

Train Trials 05:07
Stand clear of the closing doors The train trial’s begun, what’s in store? Are you fed up, run down, a mother of four? Are you twenty-one, having fun, Feel entitled to more? How did you get so low? Made enough people mad, your ties, you broke. Or were you beat so bad, your better off on your own? Are you better off on the road? Sway me with your pleads made up off miseries And are you worthy of my sympathies? You’re Mr. Pity Me Sitting on the wrong track Waiting for the right time Never seem to make a dollar back While Mr. Silly Me’s Sitting on the right track Making all the people laugh Cleaning up for his dime bag And we try Trying to get by Trying to get high It’s all the same ride He said ‘C’mon, you know me!’ Well I did not But he had three minutes til the next stop So by all means Sway me with your pleads made up off miseries And are you worthy of my sympathies? You’re Mr. Pity Me Sitting on the wrong track Waiting for the right time Never seem to make a dollar back While Mr. Silly Me’s Sitting on the right track Making all the people laugh Cleaning up for his dime bag And we try Trying to get by Trying to get high It’s all the same ride Trying to get by Oh, and we cry Sway me with your pleads made up off miseries And are you worthy of my sympathies? You’re Mr. Pity Me Sitting on the wrong track Waiting for the right time Never seem to make a dollar back While Mr. Silly Me’s Sitting on the right track Making all the people laugh Cleaning up for his dime bag And we try Trying to get by Trying to get high It’s all the same ride Trying to get by Oh, and we cry
