I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
A family in crisis that only grows older

Why’d you have to go
Why’d you have to go
Why’d you have to go

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken but I am hoping
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me is dying and
These are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart

I wear all your old clothes your polo sweater
I dream of another you the one who would never (never)
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me, that’s what I needed

(So) why’d you have to go
Why’d you have to go
Why’d you have to go

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don’t know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did u ever love me
Cause these are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart

I love you, I loved you (repeat)

I found my box of letters lying on the ground
The ones you used to write me
Before it all went down
I even got a paper cut trying to figure out
What to do with all these memories

And you're not who you used to be
And I wonder where you've gone

Have you fallen in a black hole?
It's not where there's a universe of missing stuff
What happened to the good times?
What happened to the moments where we had so much?
Where's the love?
Where's the love?

Remember all those hours laughing on the floor
Those days of doing nothing felt like nothing did before
I don't need those Snickers or that money after all
I'll trade them for an old message or your call

'Cuz it's not how we used to feel
And I wonder what went wrong

Have you fallen in a black hole?
It's not where there's a universe of missing stuff
What happened to the good times?
What happened to the moments where we felt so much
Where's the love?

I want to go there
And I want to know where
Everything that meant something to me is..

I found my box of letters that used to make me smile
But now I feel so lonely

Have you fallen in a black hole?
It's not where there's a universe of missing stuff
What happened to the good times?
What happened to the moments where we had so much?

A black hole
It's not where there's a universe of missing stuff
What happened to the good times?
What happened to the moments where we had so much?
Where's the love?

Has he fallen in a black hole?

I got time to watch you spin around in circles
Falling through the cracks inside your mind
That's fine
I've been through the darkest hour
Made it to the other side of you
I can live without you

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate
And I am in sight
I live for the tears
To fall down your face
I live for the words
You finally say
I live for the day

You are high
Thinking you're invincible
So busy building castles in the sky
You're done
And you don't even know it
But your eyes have started showing
That it's true
Trying to live without love

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate
And I am in sight
I live for the tears
To fall down your face
I live for the words
You finally say
I live for the day
I live for the day
Oh [repeated]
Today
Oh [repeated]

I can live without you

I live for the day
I live for the night
That you will be desperate
And I am in sight
I live for the tears
To fall down your face
I live for the words
You finally say
I live for the day

I see you crawling
Want to see you crawling, want to see you crawling
I live for the day

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine up my high heel shoes,
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I'll shine up my high heel shoes,
Put on a brand-new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me [repeated]

I want you
I want you

My Innocence

I was born a fighter
I was born on a rainy day
I've had my share of pain
But you missed most of that
So many other things you had to do
You looked after you
You remember what you did?
Do you know just what you missed?
Do you care about what I have to say?

You took my innocence away
I never had a chance to
You broke me in with your mistakes
Thanks for the breakthrough
But you won't bring me down
I always come around
You took my innocence away
But the best of me stayed

It could be your blood
Running through all of my veins
That ties me to your fate
If I could just close my eyes
I'd black out all the reasons why
We're still in this place

What you want is what you've got
You should have tried to make it stop
I guess you couldn't find a way to let me in

You took my innocence away
I never had a chance to
You broke me in with your mistakes
Thanks for the breakthrough
But you won't bring me down
I always come around
You took my innocence away
But the best of me stayed

Lonliness has filled my soul
And it creeps inside, it takes control
And I don't know how to begin
Giving up on everything

My innocence, you took my innocence away

You took my innocence away
I never had a chance to
You broke me in with your mistakes
Thanks for the breakthrough
But you won't bring me down
I always come around
You took my innocence away
But the best of me stayed [repeated]

A Little More Personal

No, I like when people talk in the beginning of songs
I think that's kind of rad
I don't think you should use it
Well, something that's kind of introspective, something that means a bit to me
Like a little more personal?

You say you got to go
But what does that mean
Do you want to be together
Or is it just me?
Sometimes I think you're in
Until I think you're out
It's like I'm swimming in the deep end
Pull me out

Wanted to feel, wanted to know
Wanted to steal a little piece of heaven
That I can call my own

Can we try a little more personal
Can we throw away all the casual
'Cuz the more I know about you
And the more you know about me
It's easier to be
A little more personal

It's like we do a dance
Where no one wants to move
But if I take the first step
Maybe we can find a groove
I'm really trying hard to not just walk away
I think it's about time someone said

Wanted to feel, wanted to know
Wanted to steal a little piece of heaven
That I can call my own

Can we try a little more personal
Can we throw away all the casual
'Cuz the more I know about you
And the more you know about me
It's easier to be
A little more personal

I want to know what goes on in your mystery
I think that I could have the key to turn back everything

Can we try a little more personal
'Cuz the more I know about you
And the more you know about me
It's easier to be
A little more personal

Can we try a little more personal
Can we throw away all the casual
'Cuz the more I know about you
And the more you know about me
It's easier to be
A little more personal

You say you got to go
But what does that mean
Do you want to be together
Or is it just me?

I should have known the day we met
The way you turned and waved at me
I never will forget
Two years later
Who would have guesssed
That we would make it this far just to put it all to rest?

And if it's alright
I'll stay here until it's late
And until you tell me that it's time that we moved on
And if it takes all night
I'll wait here until the daylight's gone
So that I can see that we just don't belong
It's alright if we move on

If you're crazy
Then I'm insane
Two people with the same condition
It never goes away
It's not our problem anymore
But let's just call it even when I'm walking out that door
And oh, it won't be easy
'Cuz it was hard from the start

And if it's alright
I'll stay here until it's late
And until you tell me that it's time that we moved on
And if it takes all night
I'll wait here until the daylight's gone
So that I can see that we just don't belong
It's alright if we move on

Must have been for some reason
It's in the sky, something from up high
We must have lived for some reason
Was it a lie? It just wasn't right

And if it's alright
I'll stay here until it's late
And until you tell me that it's time that we moved on
And if it takes all night
I'll wait here until the daylight's gone
So that I can see that we just don't belong

And if it's alright
I'll stay here until it's late
And until you tell me that it's time that we moved on
And if it takes all night
I'll wait here until the daylight's gone
So that I can see that we just don't belong
It's alright if walk [repeated]
It's alright if we move on

I should have known the day we met

You were the one thing that I could count on
You were my everything
And then I found out
That you mean nothing
From someone on the street

And I never saw it coming, never saw it coming
No, I never saw it coming, never saw someone
I believed all thoe things that you said
I believed in you

Well, if you were me
Would you push you?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you?
Would you cry out?
Would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough to make you never ever want to be loved?
What would you do, what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?

I don't know what's left to talk about
But I find it hard to leave
Without some closure
How could you want her?
When you were still with me?

And I never saw it coming, never saw it coming
No, I never saw it coming, never saw someone
I believed all thoe things that you said
I believed in you

Well, if you were me
Would you push you?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you?
Would you cry out?
Would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough to make you never ever want to be loved?
What would you do, what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?

You turned something so good so bad
Threw out all the things that we had
Put yourself in my shoes
It's sad; I believed all the things that you said, I believed in you

Well, if you were me
Would you push you?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you?
Would you cry out?
Would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough to make you never ever want to be loved?
What would you do, what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through? [repeated]

What would you do if you were me?
If you were me, what would you do?
What would you do?

It's lonely sometimes in the fastlane
People come and go like rain
And I look around for a hand to hold
There's no one here today
Everyone has gone away
And left me in the fray

So don't wish upon a star
'Cuz a star can only get you so far
It doesn't matter who you are
'Cuz the sky looks better from the ground anyway
And you never know what you got
And even if you do, it don't mean it's going to stay
Tomorrow is another day
You only live once, and I'm living for today
I'm living for today

So I drive around this superficial town
With a smile on my face
No one really knows how I feel inside
And I'm keeping it that way
It's my story to replay
And the fastlane's where I want to stay

So don't wish upon a star
'Cuz a star can only get you so far
It doesn't matter who you are
'Cuz the sky looks better from the ground anyway
And you never know what you got
And even if you do, it don't mean it's going to stay
Tomorrow is another day
You only live once, and I'm living for today

I can't find my sanity
I'm about to lose my mind
And I can't find my sanity
But I want to lose my mind
La la la [repeatedly]

And if only I could show you that nobody's going to bring me down
Yeah, yeah

So don't wish upon a star
'Cuz a star can only get you so far
It doesn't matter who you are
'Cuz the sky looks better from the ground anyway
And you never know what you got
And even if you do, it don't mean it's going to stay
Tomorrow is another day
You only live once, and I'm living for today

Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

And the days go by
Like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friend
Baby, nothing else mattered

Well, he was no more than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken-hearted
Something within him
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
All alone
On the edge of seventeen

Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

I went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow, yeah
And the music there
It was hauntingly familiar
And I see you doing
What I try to do for me
With the words of a poet
And the voice of a choir
And a melody
Nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooh, baby, ooh, tell

The clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes colors
But the sea does not change
And so with the slow, graceful flow of age
I went forth with an age old desire to please
On the edge of seventeen

Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
[repeated]

I can tell you things nobody knows
I've been everywhere nobody goes
Nothing gets me off the way that you do
You drive me crazy when you step in the room

Something about your lips
Something about your kiss
Something about your eyes keeps you on my mind
Thought it was nothing
Turns out it was something
You're the one that keeps me up every night
Who loves you [repeatedly]

I think I do
Yeah, yeah, I think I do

You crawled under my skin
And I feel you there
You're with me all the time, you come everywhere
But when I needed space,
I pushed you away
But then I want you back
You're hard to erase

Something about your lips
Something about your kiss
Something about your eyes keeps you on my mind
Thought it was nothing
Turns out it was something
You're the one that keeps me up every night
Who loves you [repeatedly]

I think I do
You're hard to fucking erase
I think I do, I think I do

I can tell you things nobody knows
I've been everywhere nobody goes
Nothing gets me off the way that you do
You drive me crazy when you step in the room

Who loves you [repeatedly]
I think I do

Who loves you?
I think I do
[repeatedly]

God won't talk to me
I guess she's pretty busy lately
I'd like to believe she's listening
I'm starting to feel
All of my bruises imagined are real
I'll get through each day
Get through the bad ones to get to the good ones
Who's keeping score anyway

And this is my beautiful life
But all the things sudden as everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets
I know it's still amazing to be alive
A beautiful life

I talk in my sleep
That's the one place I know no one can hear me
I tell myself things
To walk in the shadows
There's always tomorrow
And I'm right where I want to be

And this is my beautiful life
But all the things sudden as everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets
I know it's still amazing to be alive

Oh, it hurts while it's happening
I want to feel everything
How can you know until you try?

And this is my beautiful life

My beautiful life
But all the things sudden as everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets
I know it's still amazing to be alive

It's a beautiful life
