Brandi Carlile

It's hard to let the miles pass me by
Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes
And when the seasons change again then I will too
I just want to be closer to you

I'm staring out at endless rows of green
There are miles of hay like I have never seen
Just when you think you've had enough
And your dreams come true
I just want to be closer to you

My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground

Tomorrow I'll be lying under you
With a heart of gold and arms to fall into
I know that there might come a day
Where my life is through
But I just want to be closer to you

My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground

Someday we might learn to tell the truth
We might even find the fountains of our youth
We all needed something real we all need proof
I just want to be closer to you
I only want to be closer to you

Long is the day, take it away
Hold it up and you don't let it fall
'Cause devil's play was yesterday
And I don't care about that at all

I just smile, once in a while
'Cause I don't want the lines on my face
And I sit right here, holdin' the years
And I count all the stars in space

You fall apart again
And you can find a friend
Don't turn to someone else
'Cause they won't understand

Self respect, goes unexpressed
I don't dream because I cannot sleep
And I think the world of myself
But the world doesn't think much of me

As long as the day is full of time
There will always be room
For your hand in mine

You fall apart again
And you can find a friend
Don't turn to someone else
'Cause they won't understand

I don't want to hear you say
That you miss yesterday
If you don't like what you see
That means nothin' to me

No one's home, I'm alone
With my music and my TV
And I still say, yesterday
Is best when left to sleep

You fall apart again
And you can find a friend
Don't turn to someone else
'Cause they won't understand

I don't want to hear you say
That you miss yesterday
If you don't like what you see
That means nothin' to me
That means nothin' to me

Gone
It's hard for me to see when I'm wrong
It's hard for me to weep when I'm strong
But I could never sleep when you're gone
Oh but still
If you were gonna crucify me
I wouldn't want nobody to see
'Cause you could kick me hard when I'm down
Down, down, down

I don't want wanna be
Nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before
How long to be
A shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all

Over it
Hey it's not that you would mess with my head
I believe that you believe what you said
You think you know me best and you care
But that's not fair!
'Cause I don't really want to be safe
It must have been the way I was raised
Sleep with one eye open I say
Hey hey hey

I don't wanna be
Nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before
How long to be
A shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all

Oh
How long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
At all

When you're near me I have no fear
When I'm untrue you see right through me
You know me as deep as the sea goes
Calm my head whenever the storm blows

When the stars, and the moon
And the sky, fall through

I'd throw them all away when I'm hollow
Deep as the sea goes, all I know is
I would throw it all away...away

In my restless hour I'm holding
The words you say that lay my soul to sleep
I dream of buildings that burn
The sky turns black I toss and turn

When the stars, and the moon
And the sky, fall through

I'd throw them all away when I'm hollow
Deep as the sea goes, all I know is
I would throw it all away...away

This love branches out like an oak tree
Reach for the sky and roots to the sea
So when you're shaken down and broken
Find some peace of mind in knowing

I'd throw them all away when I'm hollow
Deep as the sea goes, all I know is
I would throw it all away...away

Tragedy

Sorry I'm only
Human you know me
Grown up oh no guess again

My days always
Dry up and blow away
Sometimes I could do that too
But make no mistake that

When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

Progress, changing
Growing then giving up
Somehow we're never quite prepared
But I understand it


When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that

we knew as
The end

So taking you with me

would be like
Taking all your money

to the grave
It does no good to

anyone especially
The one you're trying to save
But it's so hard not to save

When you need a friend
You could count on anyone
But you know I'll defend
The tragedy that we knew as
The end

It's hard to let the miles pass me by
Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes
And when the seasons change again then I will too
I just want to be closer to you

I know that there might come a day
Where my life is through
But I just want to be closer to you

My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground

Someday we might learn to tell the truth

We all needed something real we all need proof
I just want to be closer to you
I only want to be closer to you

I don't want to hear you say

If you don't like what you see
That means nothin' to me
That means nothin' to me

Follow your heart and see where it might take you
Don't let the world outside there break you
They know not who you are inside
They have never felt your hell
Don't ever let them crack

Hold out I know you feel it getting cold out
Without the blanket for your soul now
Before you know it you'll be frozen
You have to see this through
There's no one here but you

I feel the rain coming down
It reminds me of who I used to be
But now that's nothing more
Then a memory

Don't go, to sleep and cry because tomorrow
If you let it it will swallow
You up and none of this will matter
Will matter anymore

I feel the rain coming down
It reminds me of who I used to be
But now that's nothing more
Than a memory

I feel the rain coming down
It reminds me of who I used to be
But now that's nothing more
Than a memory

Follow your heart and see where it might take you
Don't let the world outside there break you
They know not who you are inside
They have never felt your hell
Don't ever let them crack
Your shell

Life is too short to waste all your time
Running too quickly to the finish line
Time is a track, it's ready and set
And the longer you live, the closer you get to being

Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
At dawn and then they forget

There's no guarantees or promise of wealth
And you're only allowed so much time on the shelf
Time isn't money, it's only a lie
Because everything lost can be found but your time when you're

Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
Dawn and then they forget

So live in doubt and live in fear
And you might live forever
Or live it up and watch your back
And you might live for better

Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
Dawn and then they forget

I don't hang around that place no more
I'm tired of wearing circles in the floor
And I don't carry myself very well
I've gotten so much braver
Can you tell

I'm happy, can't you see
I'm alright,
But I miss you Amber Lee

And I line my secrets up all one by one
I put 'em all away when I was done
And I would really love to hear your voice sometime
To close a little distance in my mind

I'm happy, can't you see
I'm alright


But I miss you Amber Lee
Amber Lee

Where have you been all these years
And how could you just disappear
And when did you stop
Missing me

I'm happy, can't you see
I'm alright
But I miss you Amber Lee

I'm alright,
But I miss you Amber Lee

Hold me down lift me up
There's someone on the bedside waiting there for me
I hear my name, turn around
There's gotta be a downside, something I don't see
Around me

Hide me
Dying in the light of the room
Blind side please
I don't really want to be seen
In my own eyes

Something's wrong
Awake all night
'Cause I can feel the dark side
Closing in on me

Do you see me
As I see myself?
I promise there's a downside
Something you can't see

Hide me
Dying in the light of the room


Blind side please
I don't really want to be seen
In my own eyes

Lost in translation
Free to fall
One situation
And lose it all

Hide me
Dying in the light of the room
Blind side please
I don't really want to be seen

Hide me
Dying in the light of the room
Blind side please
I don't really want to be seen
I don't really want to be seen
In my own eyes

Dear love I miss you much
I miss your smile and I miss your touch
But I found a place where I can erase my past
Maybe someday when you're old and gray
And your hair falls out and your tattoos fade
You might see me standing, hat in hand

I have to go away
I've got no reason to stay here
You said someday you'll change
But even a fool will tell you
Someday never comes

You built your rooms, you built your walls
You kept me outside of it all
I got tired of you, what's a girl to do
Maybe someday if we stay this way
And you see my face in a different place
You'll remember when you're going to thank me then

I have to go away
I've got no reason to stay here
You said someday you'll change
But even a fool will tell you
Someday never comes

I have to go away
I've got no reason to stay here, no way
You said someday you'll change
But even a fool will tell you
Someday never comes

When you're near me I have no fear
When I'm untrue you see right through me
You know me as deep as the sea goes
Calm my head whenever the storm blows

When the stars, and the moon
And the sky, fall through

I'd throw them all away when I'm hollow
Deep as the sea goes, all I know is
I would throw it all away...away

Deep as the sea goes, all I know is
I would throw it all away...away

This love branches out like an oak tree
Reach for the sky and roots to the sea
So when you're shaken down and broken
Find some peace of mind in knowing

I'd throw them all away when I'm hollow
Deep as the sea goes, all I know is
I would throw it all away...away

Look to the clock on the wall,
Hands hardly moving at all.
Can't stand the state that I'm in
Sometimes it feels like the walls closing in

chrous:
O lord what can I say
I am so sad since you went away
time time ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord what can I say

Try to bury my toubles away
drowns my sorrows the same way
seem that no matter how hard I try
It feel like somethings just missing inside

Chorus

Oh lord what can i say

How rules can I break
how many lies can I make
how many roads can I turn
to find me a place where the bridge doesn't burn

Chorus x2

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

Hang on just hang
on for a minute
I've got something
to say
I'm not asking you
to move on or
forget it
But these are
better days
To be wrong all
along and admit
is not amazing grace
But to be loved
like a song
you remember
Even when you've
changed
Tell me did I
go on a tangent
Did I lie through
my teeth
Did I cause you
to stumble on
your feet
Did I bring shame
on my family
Did it show when
I was weak
Whatever you see
that wasn't me
That wasn't me
that wasn't me
When you're lost
you will toss
every lucky coin
you'll ever trust
And you will hide
from every god
like he never
turns his back
on us
And you will fall
all the way to the
bottom and fall
on your own knife
But you'll learn
who you are even
if it doesn't
take your life
Tell me did I go
on a tangent
Did I lie through
my teeth
Did I cause you
to stumble on
your feet
Did I bring shame
on my family
Did it show when
I was weak
Whatever you see
that wasn't me
That wasn't me
that wasn't me
But I want you to
know that you'll
never alone
I wanna believe do
I make myself a
blessing to everyone
I meet
When you fall
I will get you on
your feet
Do I spend time
with my family
Did it show when
I was weak
When that's what
you see that
will be me
That will be me
that will be me
That will be me
