I CARE

BUY IT NOW OR SOMETHING!

Been carrying hurt for too long
-carrying these stupid songs-
and when I'm too tired to go on,
I'll just get drunk.

Nate I've missed you all these years
and Mike, your voice I'd love to hear
singing sweet right next to me-
I'm sorry.

Amanda, I'm glad you finally said
you didn't want to be my friend
because I was waiting for so long
and now my promise has been kept.

Lisa, I love you so bad,
you really could have been the best,
but things they don't turn out the way we wanted them.

it's a lonely, lonely road
it's a lonely road to go
it's a lonely road to go alone
when You've got so many friends.

And, I care.

Love ain't dead yet,
just torn up a bit,
and that's okay.
I know I've got some new friends coming my way.

Yeah, the road, it sucked,
it was all fucked up,
but I'm just happy I can say:
I ain't dead yet.

it's a lonely, lonely road
it's a lonely road to go
it's a lonely road to go alone
when You've got so many friends.

PAINT A PICTURE

If there were one thing that I could do, I would not hesitate. If there were ten things that I could do, I would do every one before that day were through. And when I go for a kiss, I always miss. It's not my aim, I know, but it hurts me so to miss those lips. Move out of my way- I'm coming through. If you don't want to listen, you don't have to; but I've got to say I've really missed you, and when I hold you I've always known you. You always say that you don't know me. I think that's bullshit and you know this. If you want to convince me it's real easy; you've just got to do it to yourself first. Paint a picture for please because I'm running out of memories. Take your picture with me please so I don't forget you- as if I could. So I'll hug myself to sleep tonight, but if you're smart it'll be you the next time. You could be my blanket every night- I'd wear your arms like a sweater so tight. But if you don't catch up to me soon I might just grow out of you and you could be painting those pictures alone just like so many years ago. Paint a picture with me please because I'm running out of memories. Take your picture with me please so I don't forget you- as if I could. Paint a new picture with me so I don't forget you- as if I could.

YOURS

I behind these empty tumblers, you hiding behind screens of glass and plastic, and this haze of smoke separates us both. When I wrote "I thought I was a man," who would have known it was written to you? We had not met, and we wouldn't for ten years yet. You've got the prettiest eyes next to mine- your breath is into me. I've planted the tiniest seed in your mind that you could love me. If you're thinking that my words are weak, well, you'd be right if you had something better for me. But, as it stands, you ain't got shit, and believe me, I've been listening. Try something like "how I love to kiss you" and I don't care how anybody else would feel, you would be my favorite new author, probably for life. You've got the prettiest eyes next to mine- your breath is into me. I've planted the tiniest seed in your mind that you could love me. (repeat)(ending) Your heart is broken, yeah, so is mine, but that can't stop me. The only thing worse than losing you is not even trying.
