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 a

nd you know it makes me sick to be on that list

but I should've 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 whoa

i kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend whoa

i hope i hold a special place with the rest of them whoa

i kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriendand

i'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

but i should've thought of that before we kissed

your wildness scares me so does your freedom

you say you can't stand the restrictions

i found myself trying to change you

if you were meant to be my lover i wouldn't have to

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-girlfriend

and i'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

but i should've thought of that before we kissed

i'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

but i should've thought of that before we kissed

am i a nice girl?

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 gonna want you and you know why

it's gonna kill me to see you with the next girl

'cause I'm the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl

but i should've thought of that before we kissed

i kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend whoa

i kinda always knew i'd end up your ex-girlfriend whoa

i hope i hold a special place with the rest of them

(i hope i hold a special place, all the time that we spent)

nd i'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

but i should've thought of that before we kissed

i'm another ex-girlfriend on your list

i should've thought of that before we kissed

simple KIND OF LIFE

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

ooh i always was the one with all the love

you came along i'm hunting you down oh

like a sick domestic abuser

looking for a fight oh

oh and all i wanted was the simple things

a simple kind of life

oh 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 the simple things are

simply too complicated for my life

and how'd i get so faithful to my freedom

a selfish kind of life

well all i ever wanted was the simple things

a simple kind of life

a simple kind of life

a simple kind of life...

bathwater

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 naughty

i don't fit in so why do you want me

i know i can't tame you but i just keep trying

cause i still love to wash in your old bathwater

love to think that you couldn't love another

on your list with all your other women

but I still love to wash in your old bathwater

you make me feel like you couldn't love another

i can't help it, you're my kind of man ooh

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 still 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 ooh

no i can't help myself i can't help myself

i still love to wash in your old bathwater

six FEET UNDER

in the morning i wake up and in the night i sleep

and since the day i was born repeat repeat repeat

brought to this life born to this life where was i before

nonexistent not at all will i ever know

today's my birthday and i get one every year

and someday 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's my birthday and i get one every year

and someday 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's my birthday and i get one every year

and someday hard to believe but i'll be buried six feet underground

today's my birthday and i get one every year

and someday hard to believe but i'll be buried six feet underground

i'll be dead and gone no longer around

i'll be buried six feet underground

MAGIC'S IN THE MAKEUP

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

the magic's in the makeup

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 ones i loath are the ones who know me the best

my makeup's all off

who am i

the magic's in the makeup

who am i

the makeup's all off

who am i

if the magic's in the makeup

then who am i

magic's in the makeup

but i wanna be the real thing

but the magic's in the makeup

and i want to be the real thing

ooh my makeup's all off

who am i

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER

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

oh 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

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

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

i'm faking "i love you"s

you're forcing me to

i'm faking "i love you"s

you're forcing me to

i'm faking "i love you"s

you're forcing me to

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 now 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 lookin' back lookin' 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

tie me down how it used to be

who will be the one to marry me

who will be the one to marry me

how i used to be

not how i used to be

lookin' back lookin' back at me

i'm not how i used to be

take me back back into history

diamond ring tie me down just like it used to be

forever and ever and ever and ever

happily ever after

happily ever after

happily ever after

happily ever after resented

something old, something new, something borrowed something blue

here comes the bride all dressed in white

here comes the bride all dressed in white

something old something blue something borrowed something new

it's pretty when i'm faithful

ooh and ever ever ever

for ever and ever...

happily ever after

you and me, you and 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 never had this taste in my mouth

oh 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 you're reverence shamelessly tempting me

who sent this maniac

'cause i never had this taste in my past

oh you're different

you're different from the former

like a fresh battery

i'm energized by you

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

why am i so curious

this territory's 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

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

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

new... you're so new

new... you're so new

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 occasion's special

then i'd put you on like a diamond

so i can sparkle and be the envy of my friends

i'd probably 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

my 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 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

(it's too late, it's too late...)

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

and hold it hold it all in

let it build up oh build a bomb

and blow it blow it away

and 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

i'll hold it i'll hold it all in

i'll let it build up oh build a bomb

and blow it blow it away

and 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

and hold it hold it all in

let it build up oh build a bomb

and blow it blow it away

and clear it all out just end it

and sort it sort it out

oh just give it back no thank you

and toss it toss it away

eliminate just give up

i can't decide this tug of war

i'm feeling weak yeah

STARING PROBLEM

my eyes are so rootless

they wander and i follow

i keep starin' i can't stop it

i know i shouldn't but i can't stop it

oh such a cute girl

i wish i looked exactly like her

oh what's it like to have that body

i'm gawking while i wonder

i can't stop staring

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

i can't stop staring

i can't stop staring

i can't stop staring

i can't stop staring

s t a r i n g p r o b l e m

i can't stop staring

i can't stop staring

oh s t a r i n g

i can't stop staring

i can't stop staring

i can't stop staring

i can't stop staring

SUSPENSION WITHOUT SUSPENCE

my divorce from dependence

that's when you found me

and we always were in trouble

odds stacked against us

and trouble's what we are

and then it just start 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 want revenge

well i want to call you

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

this was coming

and then it just starts rewinding

and the same old song

we're playing it again

suspension without suspense

oh we get so far

and then it just starts rewinding

and the same old song

we're playing it again

suspension without suspense

oh intentions without intent

but i don't want the love we have to end

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 whatcha 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

whoa

and to make it real

i need to have you here

i need to have you

i need to hold you

barren wasted heart

neglect of normalcy

and 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

whoa whoa

it can't be sincere

unless you spend time here

i need to see you

supervision is what i need

some consistence and tangibility

some casual light days

part of the furniture

i want to take you for granted and see you regular

so whatcha givin' up for me

and what shall i give up for you

the separations tired

it's been too long

whoa

and to make it real

i need to have you here

i need to have you

whoa whoa

it can't be sincere

unless you spend time here

i need to see you

i need you

i need you

i need you

i need you

if you lived here

if you lived here

if you lived here

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

yeah 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

i want to comfort you

i want to comfort you

ooh 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 want to comfort you

i want to comfort you

you're dark blue
