"Autobiography"
You
think you know me
Word on the street is that you do
You want my history
What others tell you won't be true
I
walked a thousand miles while everyone was asleep
Nobody's really seen my million subtleties
Got stains on my t-shirt
and I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo, but that will be changing eventually, oh
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes
I get dark
If you want my auto, want my autobiography
Baby, just ask me
I hear you talking
Well, it's my turn
now
I'm talking back
Look in my eyes
So you can see just where I'm at
I walked a thousand miles to find one
river of peace
I walked a million more to find out what this shit means
Got stains on my t-shirt and I'm the biggest
flirt
Right now I'm solo, but that will be changing eventually, oh
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes I get dark
If
you want my auto, want my autobiography
Baby, just ask me
I'm a bad ass girl in this messed up world
I'm the
sexy girl in this crazy world
I'm a simple girl in a complex world
A nasty girl, you wanna get with me?
You wanna
mess with me?
Got stains on my t-shirt and I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo, but that will be changing eventually,
oh
I laugh more than I cry
You piss me off, good-bye
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes I get dark
If you want
my auto, want my autobiography
Baby, just ask me
"Pieces Of Me"
On
a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And
the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me
Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch
my breath, I hope it lasts
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I
like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All
the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's
senseless
How you never seem to care
When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy it's your mission
And you won't
stop til I'm there
Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It
seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me
better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
How do you know everything
I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah
On
a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe
[Chorus:]
Ohhhhh
It
seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me
better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you
can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...
"Shadow"
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was
stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was
hiding out and running for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of
someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending
sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
All the days collided
One
less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now
I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if you're listening
There's so much more to
me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt
cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Don't
feel sorry for me-
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister,
mother
Everything's cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the
past is in the past
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every
touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally
see
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living
in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
"La La"
You can dress me up in diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You
can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts
Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited
You
make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like
an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You can meet me on
an aero-plane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boomerang
I'll come back and beat you up
Oh,
I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll
be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make
me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at
the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
I
feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You
do
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You
make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I'll meet you at the door
I'm like
an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll
be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make

You make me wanna scream
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make
me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la

"Love Makes The World Go Round"
Here, here i am again
And im starin at
these same four walls
Alone again
And now, all the colors blend
And im growing numb and I've become
This empty
page
Hold on, its tragic
Stumbling through all this static
I just wanna talk to you
And my broken heart
just has no use
And I, I guess promises are better
left unsaid, yeah
Everytime you try to tell me
You say the
words that im the only
But I'm the one who's crawling on the ground
When you say love makes the world go 'round
My
love, look at what you've done to me
For someone who has felt so strong
It's amazing I'm completely gone
Hold
on, its tragic
Stumbling through all this static
I just wanna talk to you
And my broken heart just has no use
And
I, I guess promises are better
left unsaid, yeah
Everytime you try to tell me
You say the words that im the only
But I'm the one who's crawling on the ground,
When you say love makes the world go 'round
If that's the kind
of love you give me
I'd rather be alone, believe me
It's not the way you 'posed to treat me
I'd rather walk away
I just wanna talk to you
And my broken heart just has no use
And I, I guess promises are better
left unsaid,
yeah
Everytime you try to tell me
You say the words that im the only
But I'm the one who's crawling on the ground,
When you say love makes the world go 'round, yeah
You say love makes the world go 'round
Everytime you try to tell
me
I dont care you're not the only
Dont you know I'm coming back around
Cuz I say love makes the world go 'round,
yeah
Cuz I say love makes the world go 'round
"Better Off"
The sky is falling
And it's early in the morning
But it's
ok somehow
I spilt my coffee, it went
All over your clothes
I gotta wear mine now
And im always, always,always
late
And my hair's a mess,
Even when it's straight
But so what,
I'm better off everyday
When i'm standing
in the pouring rain, I dont mind
I think of you and everythings alright
I used to think i had it good
But now i know
that i misunderstood
With you I'd say, i'm better off in every way
My friends keep callin'
They say, they say
im stallin'
And they wanna meet you now
I tell them hell no, i say
We're tryin' to lay low
Don't wanna lose what
i've found
Things are finally, finally lookin' up
Oh my feet are on the ground
Even though im stuck
But
so what,
I'm better off everyday
When i'm standing in the pouring rain, I dont mind
I think of you and everythings
alright
I used to think i had it good
But now i know that i misunderstood
With you I'd say, i'm better off in every
way
Things are finally, finally lookin' up
Oh my feet are on the ground
Even though im stuck
Even though im
stuck
But so what,
I'm better off everyday
When i'm standing in the pouring rain, I dont mind
I think of you
and everythings alright
I used to think i had it good
But now i know that i misunderstood
With you I'd say, i'm better
off in every way
Yeah, yeah
Better off in every way
I'm better off in every way
I'm better off today
The
sky is falling
And it's early in the morning
But it's ok
"Love Me For Me"
It's been three days
You come around here like you know
me
Your stuff at my place
Next thing you know, you'll be using my toothpaste
Step up, sit down
Get ready, let
me tell you who's the boss now
Stay here, get out
Everytime i turn around you're in my face
Don't care where
you think you've been, and how you're getting over
If you think you've got me down
Just wait it gets much colder
Here
I am,
As perfect as i'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around,
I'm not the kinda girl you
wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me
Shut up, come back
No I didn't really mean to say that
I'm mixed
up, so what
Yea you want me so you're messed up too
I love you, I hate you
If you only knew what i've been through
My
head is spinnin'
But my heart is in the right place
Sometimes it has to have it's self a little earthquake
Here
I am,
As perfect as i'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around,
I'm not the kinda girl you
wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me
I've been waiting all my life
To finally find you
Just so i can
push you away
And when youre crawlin over broken glass to get to me
That's when i'll let you stay
Oh, here I

As perfect as i'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around,
I'm not the kinda girl you wanna

"Surrender"
If that's the way you want it
Well there you go
Baby you
can have it all,
Now that you just let me go
Yeah,yeah
Yeah,yeah
I waited here for so long
Thinkin' that
you'd see
You just kept on runnin' away
You make your misery my company
Open up your eyes
Dont you know you
only get one life
Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all
around
All you have to do is just surrender, just surrender
All the pain in your heart,
All the tears in your
empty soul
And when you're spinnin' round and around
Im the psycho goin' outta control
Open up your eyes
Dont
you know youre only wasting time
Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My
sunshine's all around
All you have to do is just surrender, just surrender
You know it doesn't matter what you do
Dont
you know i'm so over you
Open up your eyes
Dont you know that it's your life
Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh,
you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you gotta do...
Oh, you drive me
crazy
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you gotta do is just surrender,
just surrender
If that's the way you want it
Well there you go
"Unreachable"
Just like an angel, you're gonna make me fly
Into your arms,
you're wrapping me up so tight
You had me crawlin so bad
Had me heels over head
You got me easy, you got me easy
Tangled
up in my head
Quit trying to hold and to help me
Cuz we're already beautiful
So dont make me cry
Cuz this
love dont feel so right
You cant push a river
You cant make me fall
But you can make me unreachable
I may
be sweet, but im still on the vine
You couldnt wait, no you had to take your bite
You had me crawlin so bad
Had
me heels over head
You had me easy, you had me easy
Too late to go back
To realize what we had
We were already
beautiful
So dont make me cry
Cuz this love dont feel so right
You cant push a river
You cant make me fall
but
you can make me unreachable
Sometimes love is addiction
Sometimes it hurts like hell
And sometimes you just
can't get enough
You can't make me love you,
Any more than i do
But you can make me unreachable
Dont make
me cry
Cuz this love dont feel right
You cant push a river
You cant make me fall
But you can make me
So dont
make me cry
Cuz this love dont feel so right
You cant push a river
You cant make me fall
But you can make me unreachable
"Nothing New"
I found myself wrong again
Starin out my window
Wonderin
what it is I should have said
I found myself at home again
Waitin for the after call
From a fallout that feels like
such a mess
Ohhhh I can only be myself
I'm sorry that's hell for you
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't
let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
So I listen
to you complain and then
I bite my tongue in vain again
As I let it all just slowly settle in
Such a pretty picture
that you paint
I'm so vile while your a saint
Funny how your eyes see thick not thin
Ohhhh I can only be myself
Your
lookin for someone else
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The
trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
You know how to give it but you can't take it
It's all just a waste
now you can save it
No matter what I do
Is never good enough, never good enough
Heyyy so what's my damage today
Don't
let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new
Is nothing
new
Save your breath cause here comes the truth
I'm over the drama of you
And that's something new
Well
I'm starin' out my window
Wonderin' what it is I should have, said
"Give It All Away"
Hey you, living for tomorrow
You sell your dreams for
a pocket of change
Hey you, smokin' up your sorrow,
Just pointing fingers at someone to blame
Hey you, you turn your
back on your children
It's left you in that big burning bed
This life's like livin in the gutter
All this pain just
makes you feel dead
You're just givin it all, givin it all away
You're just givin it all, giving it all away, hey,
hey yayayay
Slow down
Just look a little closer
You might find thats its not the end
You wonder how, your
life can get better
When you're alone you just tear yourself down
You're just givin it all, giving it all away,
You're
just givin it all, givin it all away
You're just givin it all, giving it all away,
You're just givin it all, giving
it all away, hey, hey yayayay
Try and find your better half now
Open your eyes, and find yourself
Hey girl,
screamin for attention
Once you get it, you throw it away
I'm broken, I'm pickin up the pieces
I won't live in all
your mistakes
I'm just givin it all, givin it all away
I'm just givin it all, giving it all away,
I'm just givin
it all, giving it all away,
I'm just givin it all, giving it all away, hey, hey yayayay
"Undiscovered"
Take it back, take it all back now
The things I gave,
like the taste of my kiss on your lips,
I miss that now
I can't try any harder than I do
All the reasons I gave,
excuses I made for you
I'm broken in two
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I
need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you
Don't
walk away
Touch me now how I wanna feel
Something so real, please remind me
My love, and take me back
Cuz
I'm so in love with what we were
I'm not breathing I'm suffocating without you
Do u feel it too?
All the things
left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty
and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you
When I'm in the dark and all alone
Dreaming that you'll walk
right through my door,
Its then I know my heart is whole
There's a million reasons why I cry
Hold my covers tight
and close my eyes
Cuz I don't wanna be alone
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I
need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you, I need you
Cuz I can't
fake and I can't hate
But it's my heart
Thats about to break
You're all I need
I'm on my knees
Watch me
bleed
Would you listen please
I give in
I breathe out
I want you, theres no doubt
I freak out, I'm left out
Without
you, I'm without
I'm crossed out
I'm kicked out
I cry out
I reach out
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't
walk away
Don't walk away
"Harder Everyday"
[Bonus Track]
Well its 9pm and you still haven't
called me back
And if I try again I think youll feel like you under attack
I dont think I can take it I dont think
I can make it
I just want this to go away
Trying to be someone that you know your not
It gets harder everyday
All the lonely days
There's no one left to love
You wish life would go away
Now its 2am and im pacing around
on the floor
I wait for you to come home but you never come walk through that door
Now im trying to fake it I just cant
seem to shake it
I just want this to go away
Trying to be someone that you know your not
It gets harder everyday
All the lonely days
There's no one left to love
You wish life would go away
You wish life would go away
I
know one day ill get through this
I know one day we'll be done
I know one day ill find a way
To see you
Now
its 6am and I smashed all the you left behind
I gotta throw this away these things that'll never be mine
Trying
to be someone that you know your not
It gets harder everyday
All the lonely days
There's no one left to love
You
wish life would go away
Trying to be someone that you know your not
It gets harder everyday
It gets harder
everyday
"Sorry"
[Bonus Track]
I threw away my phone
I thought that
you should know
I'd throw away my home
If I had somewhere to go
Anything to stop
The circle in my brain
Anything
is better than you
Making me feel lame
28 days to kick the habit
28 days to let you go
28 days and I'll be
on my own
All my life I've been sorry for something
Something gets me nothing and nothings such a waste
All this
time I've been sayin I'm sorry
But why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes
Why should I be sorry
I've
had enough of you
Please forget my name
I'm runnin around on empty
Still tryin to get away
Anything to kill
The
consciousness of you
Anything to end myself
Before the thought of you
28 days to kick the habit
28 days to
let you go
28 days and I'll be on my own
All my life I've been sorry for something
Something gets me nothing
and nothings such a waste
All this time I've been sayin I'm sorry
But why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes
Now
you'll know what it feels like to bite your tongue
Now you'll know what it feels like to be the one
Who walks around
with knots in your stomach
I've been there, and I've done it
And now you'll know what it feels like
To always be
afraid
Of everything you wanted to say
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
All my life I've
been sorry for something
Something gets me nothing and nothings such a waste
All this time I've been sayin I'm sorry
But
why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes
All my life I've been sorry for something
Something gets me nothing
and nothings such a waste
All this time I've been sayin I'm sorry
But why should I be sorry for all of your mistakes
Who's
sorry now?
"Endless Summer"
[Bonus Track]
We laughed, we cried
And
all the while we felt so alive
It was you and me
You grabbed my hand and made me see
What it could feel like
And
what it might be like
You wrote my name in the sand
In this endless summer
We will be together
And i dont
want this feeling to ever end
Looking back in november
Feel the sun and remember
That when our time has finally
come to pass
Somethings last
Somethings always last
Save goodbye
Keep it frozen in december
I need the
high
To get me through the ever after
Cause now that it feels like
Its far from what it was like
When you
wrote our names in the sand
In this endless summer
We will be together
And i dont want this feeling to ever end
Looking back in november
Feel the sun and remember
That when our time has finally come to pass
Somethings
last
Somethings always last
It's not what it feels like
Its far from what it was like
When i wrote our name
in the sand
In this endless summer
We will be together
And i dont want this feeling to ever end
Looking back
in november
Feel the sun and remember
That when our time has finally come to pass
Somethings last
Somethings
always last
Somethings last
Somethings always last
We laughed, we cried
And all the while we felt so alive
It was you and me
