Hinder

This ain't a love song
But don't get me wrong
I'm gonna love you all night long while your turning me on,
Till the lovin' and the liquor's gone,
And if you wanna like me,
Girl, you'd better find me before the sun goes down,
And if you wanna hate me,
It ain't gonna take me long
just stick around

It's like a match to gasoline
I'm nice as hell till I get mean

I'll be your Prom King early Mr. Clean, Charmin,
Your momma at your front door,
And then your late night, bar fight,
Damn right I'm the guy passed out on your floor,
Ain't gotta spin me around to see
There ain't no in-between the two sides of me

This ain't rehab
I ain't that bad
Too many good times to be had
I ain't hanging my hat till I'm stumbling down that path
But if you wanna like me
Better catch me right before the shot goes down,
And if you wanna hate me
I won't think your crazy
There's other girls in town, right now
I'm Mr. Right but that ain't gonna last all night!

(Lets go)
(Nightmare)
(Rock)

Dressed head to toe black on black,
three bunnies in the back of my Cadillac.
With me its gonna be a good story to tell;
cash, grass, and ass on the highway to hell.
Be careful what you wish for when you dream

I make the good girls bad, and bad girls worse;
nice guys are last 'cause I’m always first.
I’m a freak show sucker for how it feels;
turn the girl next door into hell on heels.
I’m red white blue tattooed and just don’t care;
I’m the all-American nightmare.

If you wanna run away I can give you a ride,
I’m a one way ticket to the darker side.
So come with me, baby lets lose some sleep.
But don’t mistake me for a dream.

I make the good girls bad, and bad girls worse;
nice guys are last 'cause I’m always first.
I’m a freak show sucker for how it feels;
turn the girl next door into hell on heels.
I’m red white blue tattooed and just don’t care;
I’m the all-American nightmare.

They try to lock me up and throw away the key,
but they're never gonna hold down a freak like me.
I'm an outcast, smoking grass living for free,
and I got everything you want,
but nothing that you need.

(stick to me baby)

(Oh)
I make the good girls bad, and bad girls worse;
nice guys are last 'cause I’m always first.
I’m a freak show sucker for how it feels;
turn the girl next door into hell on heels.
I’m red white blue tattooed and just don’t care;
I’m the all-American nightmare.

I’m the all-American nightmare
I’m the all-American nightmare
And I've got nothing that you need.

Sittin' here with an empty bottle
Down to my last cigarette
No missed calls and alcohol
I guess that's all that I got left
No one saw what you did to me this time
And a million times before
I look like a devil's child
You're the one who slammed the door

Everybody thinks they know me
You're the saint and I'm the phony
But you're the one who faked it all along
Everybody sees you cryin'
Lyin' lookin' like you're dyin'
Everybody knows what's goin' on
But everybody's wrong

Ain't I the kind of guy your momma
Told you not to hang around?
Sure enough you know who's gonna
Break your heart and bring you down
But she never saw you out at midnight
Actin' like you own the bar
To me you ain't no angel's child
I know who you are

Everybody thinks they know me
You're the saint and I'm the phony
But you're the one who faked it all along
Everybody sees you cryin'
Lyin' lookin' like you're dyin'
Everybody knows what's goin' on

But everybody's wrong about the one who needs
To let it out and just come clean
I've lost it all but I can't be your loser anymore

Everybody thinks they know me
You're the saint and I'm the phony
But you're the one who faked it all along
Everybody sees you cryin'
Lyin' lookin' like you're dyin'
Everybody knows what's goin' on

Everybody thinks they know me
You're the saint and I'm the phony
But you're the one who faked it all along
Everybody sees you cryin'
Lyin' lookin' like you're dyin'
Everybody knows what's goin' on
But everybody's wrong

I've never been so happy to see a girl leave
Take your filthy little hands off my dirty ripped jeans
You told me you hated my GNR shirt
Shoulda known then, this is never gonna work
But like what you like, don't matter to me
Just leave the jack and take your hennessy
Take your Kanye out of my player please
Led Zepplin 45 is stayin' with me

[Chorus]
Hey ho
Ain't nothin' little 'bout rock n roll
Hey ho
Rap it up and hip-hop down the road
Hell no
Don't turn down my radio
If you're a dirty little rocker
Baby come on and let it show
And scream "Hey ho"

You never liked any damn song I wrote
You spent my money and you smoked my smoke
Pumpin' lame-ass beats in your foreign car
It ain't real music without guitar
I like Jimmy Hendrix, baby don't you know
I like gettin' high, not ridin' low

[Chorus]

You can wait me in line, at the club, if you wanna
Shake your ass all night, but I'm gonna
Find a rocker chick that'll bang to Nirvana
Yo, ho! You gotta go!
You ain't nothin' but a...

[Chorus]

Never been so happy to see a girl leave
Take your Little Wayne outta my player please
Shoulda never let you smoke my smoke
I like gettin' high, not ridin' low

If you're a dirty little rocker
Baby come on and let it show
And scream "Hey, ho!"

By the time that the Stones came on
We were stoned out of our minds
I know it's only rock n' roll
But it's the soundtrack of our lives
No matter how crazy life gets
I can feel right at home sweet home
Every time I put that record on
The first time I got a whole lotta love
I wanted a whole lot more
In the back seat baby made me feel like maybe
We were knockin' on Heaven's door
And "Walk This Way" still to this day
Makes me wanna drink all night long
Every time I put that record on

(Come on, come on)
Turn, turn, turn it up loud
Light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on
(And on, and on)
Turn, turn, turn the page
Back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
And put that record on

Life's been a crazy train
Barely kept in on the tracks
If you think it's a shame that I act this way
Blame it on "Back in Black"
I'm glad I did everything I did
And I forget what I've done wrong
Every time I put that record on

(Come on, yeah)
Turn, turn, turn it up loud
Light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on
(And on, and on)
Turn, turn, turn the page
Back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
And put that record on
And let it play, and take it back to yesterday

(Come on, better sing it now)
Turn, turn, turn it up loud
Light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on
(And on, and on)
Turn, turn, turn the page
Back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
And put that record on

Put that record on
Put that record on
On and on

You're waitin' by the car as I pull in
And this is where the ending begins
Lookin' like you made up your mind
Like anything I say would be a waste of your time
But it's too little too late
Too bad that we can't save it
Are we really gonna leave this way?
Give it all up and drive away?

Girl, I swear I wasn't runnin' around
Just got sick of you puttin' me down
And who died and made you queen?
You can't put this all on me
Girl, our love's on the line right now
Should we fight or turn around?
I know there's gotta be more to this thing
Than two hearts goin' their separate ways
Red tail lights in the pourin' rain

And baby, just roll that window down
I really wanna talk this thing out
And we ain't gonna get nowhere screamin'
But if you believe every word you heard
I'm probably better off, that you're leavin'

Girl, I swear I wasn't runnin' around
Just got sick of you puttin' me down
And who died and made you queen?
You can't put this all on me

Girl, our love's on the line right now
Should we fight or turn around?
I know there's gotta be more to this thing
Than two hearts goin' their separate ways
Red tail lights in the pourin' rain

Too little too late
Too bad that we can't save it
Are we really gonna leave this way?
Give it all up and drive away?

Girl, I swear I wasn't runnin' around
Just got sick of you puttin' me down
And who died and made you queen?
You can't put this all on me
Girl, our love's on the line right now
Should we fight or turn around?
I know there's gotta be more to this thing
Than two hearts goin' their separate ways
Red tail lights in the pourin' rain

(Too little, too late) in the pourin' rain
(Too bad that we can't save it) in the pourin' rain
(Are we really gonna leave this way?)
Give it all up and drive away?
(Too little), I'm just a little too late

You're waitin' by the car as I pull in
And this is where the ending begins

You're one mean stripper with a microphone
And I'd respect you more if you just took off your clothes
You're a waste of three minutes and a dance routine
And your daddy had to buy the record company

Guess I'll be the bad guy
So get mad at me
I'm only sayin' what everybody thinks

You ain't no Madonna
No you ain't no pop queen
You're just a "pre-Madonna" suckin' up the paparazzi
Gotta shake that ass 'cause we know you can't sing
You think that you're the real deal
You're nothin' but a strip tease

I can only listen to you in a magazine
You're the reason there ain't music on MTV
And I got a stack of ones, but it ain't for your CD
I'm only sayin' what everybody thinks

You ain't no Madonna
No you ain't no pop queen
You're just a pre-Madonna suckin' up the paparazzi
Gotta shake that ass 'cause we know you can't sing
You think that you're the real deal
You're nothin' but a strip tease

So take it off nice and slow
Or take it off my radio

You ain't no Madonna
No you ain't no pop queen
You're just a pre-Madonna fuckin' all the paparazzi
Gotta shake that ass 'cause we know you can't sing
You think that you're the real deal
You're nothin' but a strip tease

I'm leaving tonight
Down the same dirt road
A million times
I've driven just to get home
And I ain't ever looking back
For nothing

Headed for the coast
Looking for the high life
Everybody knows
It's nothing but a good time
And i sold everything I had
For something
I can't seem to find

So this is the life they talked about
This is the I can't live without
When the real world crashes down
Oh if they could see me now
When all the dreams are all your own
Turn to nightmares all alone
It hits you right between the eyes
This is the life
This is the life

These four walls feel more like a prison
Instead of pure highs
I couldn't wait to live in
So I just drink myself to sleep
Again
Can't escape my mind
This ain't like a movie
It's getting hard to hide
The more it's doin to me
Don't know how long I can keep
From going
Crazy all the time

So this is the life they talked about
This is the I can't live without
When the real world crashes down
Oh if they could see me now
When all the dreams are all your own
Turn to nightmares all alone
It hits you right between the eyes
This is the life
This is the life

Nothings ever what it seems
Maybe that grass ain't so green
Nothings ever out of reach
When you're seventeen

So this is the life they talked about
This is the I can't live without
When the real world crashes down
Oh if they could see me now
When all the dreams are all your own
Turn to nightmares all alone
It hits you right between the eyes
This is the life
This is the life
yeahh

Almost midnight
I'm just sittin' at the bar
You slide ride up
Whisper "I know who you are"

And you want a little company tonight
You need a little love, I can give it to you right
Be careful what you wish for
If I'm gonna drive, girl it's gonna be one hell of a ride

Wakin' up the devil
Rattlin' the cage inside of me
I miss him a little
When he gets out, we're one hell of a team
I know when I leave
He locks up and throw away the key
But his hand's on the wheel and my foot's on the pedal
Wakin' up the devil

Up walks some guy
Starin' a hole through me
Grabs her too tight
Then he pulls her off my knee

I didn't come here lookin' for a fight
But if you're gonna bark boy, you better have a bite
I ain't been crazy in a really long time
But you're about to need a good friend tonight

Wakin' up the devil
Rattlin' the cage inside of me
I miss him a little
When he gets out, we're one hell of a team
I know when I leave
He locks up and throw away the key
But his hand's on the wheel and my foot's on the pedal
Wakin' up the devil

Pretty girls and whiskey
Quarter bags and dimes
Put it in my face, I'm gonna do it every time
But try to keep me quiet
Try to hold me down
Damn it feels like heaven every time he comes around

Wakin' up the devil
Rattlin' the cage inside of me
I miss him a little
When he gets out, we're one hell of a team
I know when I leave
He locks up and throw away the key
But his hand's on the wheel and my foot's on the pedal
Wakin' up the devil

I'm living Life with no regrets
They're on their way buy ain't here yet
I just left Las Vegas in bad bad shape
I only call home if I get the chance
Every other night a new romance
Wake up just in time to miss the day
And I'm talking to the man in the mirror
And I think I hear him say

Whatcha gonna do
When the whiskey ain't working no more
And life don't feel like before
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
When the ride ain't coming no more
Nobody's beatin down your door
Whatcha gonna do

I've been down too low
Down in the streets
But I'm high enough to make believe
That I ain't ever gonna hit the ground
The one that got away from me
Every now and then she calls to see
If I'm alive or plan to settle down
Well I called her drunk last night
And I think I heard her say

Whatcha gonna do
When the whiskey ain't working no more
And life don't feel like before
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
When the ride ain't coming no more
Nobody's beatin down your door
Whatcha gonna do

I can't sleep and I can't hide
Because these voicees in my head are getting louder
Getting louder every night
I'm living life with no regrets
They're on their way but ain't here yet

Whatcha gonna do
When the whiskey ain't working no more
And life don't feel like before
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
When the ride ain't coming no more
Nobody's beatin down your door
Whatcha gonna do

(Lets go)

Be careful what you wish for when you dream

I make the good girls bad, and bad girls worse;

I’m a one way ticket to the darker side.
So come with me, baby lets lose some sleep.

I’m red white blue tattooed and just don’t care;
I’m the all-American nightmare.

I’m the all-American nightmare
I’m the all-American nightmare
And I've got nothing that you need.

That was solid chemistry that was there with you and me
That was still a long time come

It's freaking me out, that I didn't see
You're so damn hot girl, it's crazy
And without a doubt I still can't believe
That you were right there in front of me

Never saw the chemistry that was there with you and me
It's been a long time coming

[Chorus]
Just waiting on an angel to take me out of my head
I'm falling for you
Just coming out of thin air
You came out of nowhere out of the blue
When heaven sent you

Night after night, when I didn't sleep
But that was before you lay beside me
When all of my demons were dancing with me
I'm glad you came down ?cause I was in too deep

Never saw the chemistry that was there with you and me
It's been a long time coming

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: x2]

Right out of the blue
When heaven sent you
Right out of the blue
When heaven sent yo

It's calming down outside
Another lonely night
Said you were just going out with your friends
I'm waiting up this time, I hope you didn't lie
It never used to be like this way back when
I never know where you're at
Another train off the tracks
And I don't want to live like that

[Chorus]
When you walked in so damn late
What the hell was I supposed to think?
When you've had too much to drink, and you're really looking guilty
When you wouldn't even look at me
There was only one thing it could be, you were with him all this time
Here's one last kiss goodbye

No more alibis, no more inner lies
You've broken my trust and it can't be fixed
I should've seen the signs
Should've recognized the way your lips looked like they've been kissed
How did we end up like this?
Another train off the tracks
It always hurts looking back now

[Chorus]

Another lesson learned in life
And I can ask and listen why

How did we end up like that?
Another train off the tracks
It always hurts looking back now

[Chorus]

Just a kid, just a fool
Always trying to play it so cool
So he did what he knew
He left home and he dropped out of school

He wanted fame, fame, fame
Even just a little bit of shame, shame, shame
He would sell his soul for it
Changed his name, never gonna get it back now

He's got more than me, but he’s way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back
home
He’s loaded and alone
He’s loaded and alone

Still a kid, still a fool
Still trying to break all the rules
A big house, with too many rooms
An ego, to go with it too

He got his fame, fame, fame
More than just a little bit of shame, shame, shame
That he sold his soul over in
Changed his name, never gonna get it back, no

He's got more than me, but he’s way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back
home
He’s loaded and alone
He’s loaded and alone

He got his fame, fame, fame
Such a shame, shame, shame

He's got more than me, but he’s way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back
home

He's got more than me, but he’s way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back
home

He’s loaded and alone
He’s loaded and alone

He wanted fame, fame, fame
And such a shame, shame, shame
He got his fame, fame, fame
Such a shame, shame, shame

Yeah,
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on , yeah!

Well it's been seven years since that summer
Why'd you call me at all 'cause I'm with her now
You know you were hard to get over
I finally forgot our first time somehow

Hey
Don't bring it all back to me
Hey
I know this is hard to see

You know, that summer we smoked in the sun
You know, it's only because we were young
And we promised to always remember
That we'd wind up together forever
But looking back we sure had some fun
A summer lost in the sun

No I don't think it's right that I see you
I'm tempted but taken I'm with her now
Just get over me baby you need to
If you don't we'll end up in a mess somehow

Hey
Don't bring it all back to me
Hey
I know this is hard to see

You know, that summer we smoked in the sun
You know, it's only because we were young
And we promised to always remember
That we'd wind up together forever
You know after all that was said it was done
You know we believed it because we were young
And we promised to always remember
That we'd wind up together forever
Lookin' back we sure had some fun
Summer lost in the sun

I'm going under getting over you
I fooled myself by thinking we were through

You know that summer was smoked in the sun
You know it's only because we were young
And we promised to always remember
That we'd wind up together forever
You know after all that was said it was done
You know we believed it because we were young
And we promised to always remember
That we'd wind up together forever

Well, it's been seven years since that summer
Why'd you call me at all 'cause I'm with her now
You know you were hard to get over
But I finally forgot our first time somehow

Lookin' back we sure had some fun
Summer lost in the sun

Oh yeah..

My first make-out session
I learned my first lesson
While trying to get to the next base
When I slipped past her waist
She smacked my hand away
Then I got a slap in the face

If I could go back in time
Wouldn't change a damn thing in my life
Love the dumb things we do when we're young

But the best is yet to come

My first drinkin lesson
I followed all my friends
Stole liquor went down to the lake
Weed mixed with whiskey
Hell I got so dizzy
It was more than my stomach could take

If I could go back in time
Wouldn't change a damn thing in my life
Love the dmb thins we do when we're young

But the best is yet to come

Go for it
Run toward it
Dive in head first
Live life with no regret
Put your heart out there
Don't be scared
You might get hurt
But it's all worth in the end

Cuz Best is yet to come

My lst highschool lesson
Scared of graduation Tiped a few back
and showed up to late
Well my mom got mad hell my dad he just laughed
and said, son I have done the same thing

Just go for it
Run toward it
Dive in head first
Live life with no regret
Put your heart out there
Don't be scared
You might get hurt
But it's all worth in the end

Cuz Best is yet to come

Well now that it's morning
Where do you want to go from here?
Well now that we're sober
Are your thoughts of me more clear?
Woah yeah, now that your head is right
Did you dig last night?
It keeps playin in my mind

Cause girl I gotta thing for you
And I think it's kinda crazy
Cause I know that you have someone too
Wonderin where you were last night
For now I'll say goodbye
But don't think we're through
I gotta thing for you

Well now that you're home
Will he be the first thing that you see?
I know you'll compare us
But how does he match up next to me?

Whoa yeah, now that your head is right
Did you dig last night?
It keeps playin in my mind

Cause girl I gotta thing for you
And I think it's kinda crazy
Cause I know that you have someone too
Wonderin where you were last night

So girl I gotta thing for you
And I know that night was hazy
But I still remember wakin up
And kissin your head one more time
For now I'll say goodbye
But don't think we're through
I gotta thing for you

I remember layin your head down
I remember lovin all your love sounds

I gotta thing for you
And I think it's kinda crazy
Cause I know that you have someone too
Wonderin where you were last night

So girl I gotta thing for you
And I know the night was hazy
But I still remember wakin up
And kissin your head one more time
For now I'll say goodbye
But don't think we're through
I gotta thing for you

Saw a waitress, couldn't waste it
Opportunity knocks and you take it
Went to my place, gotta get a taste
Couple shots hit the bong we were wasted
Now she's all in, the room is spinning
Probably shouldn't have shot that of Jamison
Here we go again, she's a naked 10
Just tell me how I was in the morning

The night's far from over
No need to be sober
Let's go for a ride
We're gonna be up all night
Gonna take you for a ride

We're gonna be up all night
Gonna get you fucking high
We're gonna be up all night
Never make it out alive
So far from sober that I'll have to slam
Through my hang over

Got my attention, when she walked in
Turning heads with a tiny skirt and sassy grin

I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper

Cause something’s changed
You’ve been acting so strange
And it''s taking its toll on me
It''s safe to say that I’m ready to let you leave

Without you, I live it up a little more every day
Without you, I’m seein' myself so differently
I didn’t wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well, I never thought I'd say I’m fine
Without you

Called you up cause it’s been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be together

''Cause something changed
You were acting so strange
And it’s taking its toll on me
It’s safe to say that I’m ready to let you leave

She wouldn't spit on me
if I was on fire
She says she loves me
but I know she's a liar
The sex is good
but God she's got no desire
That's alright
She's takin' me home tonight
She's kind of cold
but yet she's hot on the outside
Last night got nasty
and I'm still kind of tongue tied
I hate to say it
but she brings out my sick side
That's alright
She's takin' me home tonight
She's got whole lot of love
But it's never enough
Take me to heaven above
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's gonna use me but I like it

I bet she's wonderin'
if I'm worth her while
She's judge and jury
and she's got me on trial
But I ain't sweatin'
cause I'm first on the speed dial
Yeah that's right
she's takin' me home tonight
She always leaves
and makes me feel kind of sleazy
It's kind of cool
because she already pleased me
I'm lying here
just thinking this is too easy
Yeah that's right
she's takin' me home tonight
She's got a whole lot of love
But it's never enough
Take me to heaven above
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's got a whole lot of love
But I've run out of luck
Leavening me in the dust
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's gonna use me but I like it
She's gonna use me but I like it

She's got a whole lot of love
But it's never enough
Take me to heaven above
But I won't be a fool and fight it
She's got a whole lot of love
But I've run out of luck
Leaving me in the dust
But I won't be a fool and fight it
And darling I just can't deny it
Because you use me and I like it
Because you use me and I like it
Like it
Because you use me and I like it

I think you can do much
better than me
After all the lies
I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I wouldn't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your
old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory
I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
The bed I'm lying in is
getting colder
Wish I never would've said
it's over
And I can't pretend
I won't
think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had
our closure
This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
And I think you should know this

(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)

I'll go ahead and pour myself a drink
I really couldn't care less what you think
Well, I don't have to listen now
Live this day down
If I can't feel a thing
You might as well save your goodbyes
We can give this train wreck one last ride
I'm gonna have to listen now
Live this day down
If I don't make things right
I'll tell you one last time

I don't wanna know it's over
So save your goodbye kiss
I don't wanna know it's over
'Cause ignorance is bliss
I can hardly see
What's in front of me
'Cause the vodka's running on empty
I can't stay sober
If it's over
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
So save your goodbye kiss
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)

I woke up with a heartbeat in my head
I reached for the bottle by the bed
I saw your side was not slept in
Cold sheets again
Remind me of what you said
We need to take a break for a while
It's been so long since I smiled
I don't wanna listen now
Live this day down
With you so drunk and high
So I'll say goodbye

I don't wanna know it's over
So save your goodbye kiss
I don't want to know it's over
'Cause ignorance is bliss
I can hardly see
What's in front of me
'Cause the vodka's running on empty
I can't stay sober
If it's over

I don't wanna know it's over
So save your goodbye kiss
I don't wanna know it's over
'Cause ignorance is bliss
Now I know I can't stay sober
'Cause you left me here like this
I don't wanna know
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
So save your goodbye kiss
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
(I don't wanna know)
'Cause ignorance is bliss
I can hardly see
What's in front of me
'Cause the vodka's running on empty
I can't stay sober
If it's over
If it's over
I don't wanna know
If it's over
If it's over
I don't wanna know

In the winding down hours
I let your heart down again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
Old habits die hard
I always end up hating the end
(what did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)

I'm in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same

Speechless and frozen
Uncomfortable silence again
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?)
(I'm no better than the ones before me)
I'm in the middle of a breakdown
Watching you scream
In the middle of a breakdown
Screaming at me
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way?
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same

Battered and bruised
Broken confused
It's time we both knew
Can't stop what I started
This time we both lose, lose
And by the way
By the way
What made you think you'd have it your way
And by the way
By the way
Don't say I didn't warn you
That I'll always stay the same

The same, the same
I'll always the same
(battered and bruised)
The same, (broken confused), the same
I didn't warn you that I'd always stay the same

Just hear me out
If it's not perfect I'll perfect it till my heart explodes
I highly doubt
I can make it through another of your episodes
Lashing out
One of the petty moves you pull before you lose control
You wear me out
But it's all right now
Let's go home and get stoned
We could end up makin love instead of misery
Go home and get stoned
Cause the sex is so much better when you're
mad at me
You wear me out
(We can end up making love instead of misery)
But it's all right now
Without a doubt
The break up is worth the makeup sex you're giving me
Let's hash it out
Cause you're bitchin and your yellin don't mean anything
Don't count me out
I can handle all the baggage that you're carrying
You wear me out
But it's all right now
Let's go home and get stoned
We could end up makin love instead of misery
Go home and get stoned
Cause the sex is so much better when you're mad at me
You wear me out
(We could end up makin love instead of misery)
But it's all right now
Let's go home and get stoned
We could end up makin love instead of misery
Go home and get stoned
Cause the sex is so much better when you're mad at me
Go home and get stoned
We could end up making love instead of misery
Go home and get stoned
Cause the sex is so much better when you're mad at me
You wear me out
(We could end up makin love instead of misery)
But it's all right now
(Cause the sex is so much better when you're mad at me)
Let's go home and get stoned
Let's go home and get stoned
Let's go home and get stoned
Let's go home and get stoned

Its been five years since Ive seen her face
Shes the holy ghost lost without a trace
And now were left with the whatifs
Its been five years since she left for LA
Shes an angel with a dirty face
And it seems to me
Shes a casuality of all the pressure
That we put on her
And now weve lost her for good
Its such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Was alot like you and alot like me
And she never walked on water
Guess no one really saw her

She was so adored by everyone
When it came to looks she was next to none
But loved partying and having too much fun
Then she hooked up with the wrong someone
And he promised everything under the sun
And it seems to me
Shes a casuality of all the pressure
That he put on her
And now weve lost her for good
Its such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Was alot like you and alot like me
And she never walked on water
Cause no one really saw her
Its such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Had a lot to prove and so many to please
Shes just somebodys daughter
Just looking for somebody to love her

Well I never knew you
Wish I couldve saved you
From losers that drained you
Before you got strung out
With so much potential
How could you let us down
Its such a shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Was alot like you and alot like me
And she never walked on water
Cause no one really saw her
Shame shame shame
That our homecoming queen
Had a lot to prove and so many to please
Shes just somebodys daughter
Looking for somebody to love her
Shes just somebodys daughter
Looking for somebody to love her

Its such a shame shame shame...

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away?

I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?

I can't seem to get my heart over you
Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?

She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said she said she said she's sorry
With one finger
I said FUCK THAT

I can tell you're lying when your lips move
Cause of one line it's not me it's you
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?

Why'd you go and break what's already broken?
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away?
How long till this goes away?

She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said she said she said she's sorry
With one finger
With one finger
I said FUCK THAT

Honey why are you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why are you crying is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It's sound so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It's sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanaa say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
(And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late

Rolled up my sleeves today
'Cause I thought that this was over
But then you called to say
You forgot that broach of your mother's

And every time I try to cut the cord
You come crawling back with some excuse
You forgot something

There's nothing good about goodbye
I could swear I saw you cry
Always knew you'd wind up falling, falling harder
Nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye

Rolled up my sleeves today
'Cause I thought that this had ended
But then you called again
To tell me how you're gonna blow my best friend

And every time I try to cut the cord
You come crawling back with some excuse
You forgot something

There's nothing good about goodbye
I can swear I saw you cry
Always knew you'd wind up falling, falling harder
Every story has two sides
In the he-said-she-said fight
But you'll always wind up falling, falling harder
Nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye

Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder

There's nothing good about goodbye
I can swear I saw you cry
I always knew you'd wind up falling, falling harder
Every story has two sides
In the he-said-she-said fight
She'll always wind up falling, falling harder
Nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye
There's nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye

Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart
Falling, falling harder
You're falling apart

She said nice to meet you
But she didn't tell me her name
With red lipstick and pale pink boots
This bitch just blew me away
Cocktails later
She said to me
Don't be late
And here's my key
Wanna know what happened next
Just take a wild guess
I stumbled up the stairs
To room 21

I walked in and saw her on the bed
There was nothing to be said
When we were done
She said she loved the taste of my oh oh oh oh oh
When I came to next morning
There were cigarettes put out on the floor
Her panties hangin' from the doorknob
Yes she left me cravin' more
I swear to God you'd feel the same
If you got used by what's her name
Wanna know what happened next
Well take a wild guess
I stumbled out the door
Of room 21

I walked out with her in my head
Can't remember a damn thing she said
Except when we were done
She said she loved the taste of my ohhhhh
She said nice to meet you
I never forget a face
Here we go again
I can't wait
Im gonna get used by what's her fuckin' name
Wanna know what happened next
Just take a wild guess
I stumbled out of the door
Of room 21

I walked out with her in my head
Can't remember a damn thing she said
Stumblin' out the door
Of Room 21
(Here we go again)
Room 21
(Here we go again)
Room 21
(Here we go again)
Room 21
(Here we go again)
Room 21
(Here we go again)
Room 21
(Here we go again)

Before I hung up the phone
All I could hear
Was the dial tone ring in my ear
If I could go back in time
I'd say those three words

[Chorus:]
I shoulda, woulda, coulda said it back to you
And this can't be saved if you can't be found
You hung up and left me for dead on the ground
You didn't even say goodbye
I shoulda, woulda, coulda said it back to you
Shoulda, woulda, coulda said it back to you

Now that you're gone
I'm wasting away
The life has been siphoned right out of my veins
If I could go back in time
I'd say those three words

[Chorus]

When you said those three words, I kinda freaked out
When you said them first, my jaw hit the ground

Shoulda, woulda, coulda said it back to you
Shoulda, woulda, coulda said it back to you
And this can't be saved if you can't be found
You hung up and left me for dead on the ground
You didn't even say goodbye
And this can't be saved
(And this can't be saved)
If you can't be found
(If you can't be found)
And this can't be saved
I shoulda, woulda, coulda said it back to you
Shoulda, woulda, coulda said it back to you
