You take a glance at me
And you laugh unapologetically
But my guess, my first one
Said: Oh yes, i wouldn't want
there to be misunderstandings, misunderstandings
and if there was a girl who came between us, between us
i guarantee you that i would win her over coz i know her better than you

i might just let go of the animals i keep in silence
and i might unlock the door that restricted all the violence
and i might be thinking of doing something, i really shouldn't do
and i guess there's one way, to settle this misery, and i'll do it to you

watch out, beware my canine pets
look out, before you can even swear
to stop this taunting and silly laughing and joking at me
i don't want to be your joke machine, and don't think of denying

one, two, three, it's over
for you, her and not me
look down the road,
there seems to be
some running dogs
they're outta control
what's that running like a firefly flying low?
i guess that's the chasing dogs i told you about
no denying, they're gonna get you
they'll fight with you
rest assured, those chasing dogs will you home

chasing, you, but they're the animals
and running, faster than airplanes
there's some ground to this air idea
and i wonder if it might work here
you'll be panting for days on end, on endings
until you agree to let me go and then, and then that's
when the fight's are over, and all the laughing stops
i just think you need to be kept on a line, now

watch out, beware my canine pets
look out, before you can even swear
to stop this taunting and silly laughing and joking at me
i don't want to be your joke machine, and don't think of denying

one, two, three, it's over
for you, her and not me
look down the road,
there seems to be
some running dogs
they're outta control
what's that running like a firefly flying low?
i guess that's the chasing dogs i told you about
no denying, they're gonna get you
they'll fight with you
rest assured, those chasing dogs will you home

i am not your rag doll, that you can throw around
i am not your silly toy, that you put in a toilet ***
i am not a clown and i don't even really like clowns
but you'll carry on like there's no today and what for?
This is a song for the bullies of the world who keep teasing us and throwing us with rocks so that we can crumble like sand. You guys better watch out for my hidden artillery... Thanks you guys!

it was in the beginning of the end of spring
and all i wanted was you
you bathed my eyes in loving lies that sting
while you hid away the truth
every moment that you take a step back
you'd rather walk a mile
and if you even told me that
i guess I'd rather force a smile

this time is part of another millennium
you and your friends can smoke cigars
this time i get to open up my arms
you and your friends like to laugh loud
another day, wishing that i stopped asking twice
another way, going another direction, this time

i always mess up and we fight all night long
and you eventually shut me out, close the door
and when i try to phone you to make up
you've already moved on, before i got up

so don't come with your tales, when everything turns sour
you had your chance, and it was your last hour
to fix the broken pieces and fit it back again
so maybe when we brush against each other
we'll see eye to eye

this time i swear i know it's over
with you and your laughable lies
this time i think i know it's over
coz you got yourself a new guy
and he forgets to call you
or whisper goodnight
but if you're wondering how i'm doing
take a number, my dear
and maybe, maybe then i'll get back to you

and it was in the beginning of summer
when the sun had smiled for long
and now that i look in your eyes
all i see is winter snow

your eyes are like frost, it pierces through my heart
your words are like knives, thrown into my chest
nobody will be like me, coz you wanted him
and now you're crying, and now you're trying
to get away
but it's just for
today

this time i swear i know it's over
you will never get my hand to hold
this time i swear i think it's over
that you ever get warm by me, when it's cold
never call me, you're freaking out
you sent me a text, saying that we're past
so don't pretend like i hurt you bad
when all i did was make you glad
and now that you don't want what you got
you better keep it, coz it's a gift, not bought
this is for those people who are just so sick and tired of always trying to please people around them, who are tired of standing on the sidelines waiting for excitement. or those who try to please but get no further than an awkward hello. this is for those who feel like they own us, yeah right... you never will.

This world that I live in, was once an atom
And then it split and suddenly it grew
Funny how, throughout this big world
I somehow find myself next to you
There were dinosaurs who ruled the land
Funny little creatures hidden in sand
Maybe if we lived in a time like that
Maybe if we died in a state like that

Throw yourself into a volcano, watch it erupt
Mount Vesuvius, and everybody is burned
This what it feels like when I'm not with you
That's what it feels like when I'm in love with you

Take my hand and run away with me now
Hold me and then maybe you'll stay with me now
Just a moment before you let it all fall down
Then you'll get to see what you wanted to see
(You get to be who you wanted to be)

There are too many things in this world
Too many topics to talk about
With you, and my heart's stopped
The moment I see you standing
And then I see him coming in...

What happened to our love-story?
You said it would've made history
Maybe it was just a thing to say to guys like me
And now I'm sick to my stomach
So I STAY at home on Saturday afternoons
With my friends, it's so boring

So bare with me while I'm speaking
Tried to shove you a rose, but your guy said no
Always on the background, that's where he should stay now
But you never said anything that made him proud


There are too many things in this world
Too many topics to talk about
With you, and my heart's stopped
The moment I see you standing
And then I see him coming in...

So you're on your own now
Living in the wilderness
He's drunk and his hopeless
There's nothing you can do now

So help me out and come right here
I've been waiting for you
So its late now, its almost gone now
Where is he now?


There are too many things in this world
Too many topics to talk about
With you, and my heart's stopped
The moment I see you standing
And then I see him coming in...

And you're going out
And he's angry now
He's vein might pop
His hairs oily
You're not there
To be his toy
Say, say his goodbye
Say, say you're alright

Life is like a ray of hope
Try and jump around and into it
Maybe then it'll be understandable
But I guess it took a while before
I got his chance just to say
What is on my mind
In my room
Within my grasp

Take like and throw it in the bin,
Beware it
Maybe there'll only be just that
A fine line drawn between you and I

Today is a day
no different from yesterday
yet i cant find in any way
to replicate this beautiful day
a smile,a hello and a wave
A girl with a lovely name
left my house without a say

I remember sitting all alone in a classroom
There were just boys looking weirdly at me
And I refused to answer when they asked me questions
There came times when they walked right up to me

All your failures have taught me to be kind
All my successes are because you’re arrogant
You’re just like the fact who are stubborn things
And I’m like a bat, quiet but quite scary

Flashing like stars tonight

And I said I heard about you and your kind, they’re bad
You put your eggs in a basket
And there’s no good that comes from it
All you are is a bad influence

All I wanted was to fit in with you, no good
But you ruled out all that I was fighting for
Men make the houses, woman make the homes
You wanna be laughing, you’re just influencing, walls

You laughed at me when I got up and spoke
I said sorry that I am not just like you
You try to change where you see fault
And I know what it’s like to be the one without

There seems to be people who don’t take notice
But when it comes to it, they take all of it
And worst of all, they lose everything
And it’s all bad news till someone is hurting

You’re flashing all your stars tonight

And I said I heard about you and your kind, they’re bad
You put your eggs in a basket
And there’s no good that comes from it
All you are is a bad influence

All I wanted was to fit in with you, no good
But you ruled out all that I was fighting for
Men make the houses, woman make the homes
You wanna be laughing, you’re just influencing, walls

Flashing

Ageless as the sun
Boundless as the ocean
Running through thick forests
And you’re still going on

Like

Men make the houses, woman make them homes
You are just like an elusive dream
I try to stay away from your upper hand
And now the flood gates have opened

Stars

Coz when I said I heard about you and your kind
You made a face to me, said I was ugly
But not his time, will I get taken down, coz
All you are is a bad influence

Tonight

All I wanted was to fit in with you, okay
But you ruled out all that I was fighting for
Men make the houses, woman make the homes
You wanna be laughing, you’re just influencing, walls

Don’t think now that it’s over, I will crawl to you
Now that the wind’s stopped blowing
You can know now what to do
I was saying it every time

I am flashing like a star tonight
Something to those someones who tells us how to run our lives... they are the same someones who keep interchanging relationships...

One day you're happy and thinking you know everything, but that's when things go wild.

To all those people that hate on me and feed on my fear...
:)

Seeing you leave with your packed bag

makes me nostalgic, I never had

the courage to empower you

and its making me feel all blue

say the prayers you prepared for me

play your games again on me



your big hands, and your face

will be remembered until the day

comes when you ask me

ask me your question

until the day where we say

where we say everything



don't turn your head

and give the shake of shame

don't walk from me

and leave me in your path

I never really knew

how much I love you

and it may seem wrong

writing a song

don't tell me I was at fault

I just wanted you to smile for once

where I was the only one

and now we're all done



shaking your hand and greeting your face

hoping you'll leave it all for me

praising your empty hole

thinking you'll come home

I was your best friend

and you left me crying

and I wanted you near me

but you resisted



cry for me

dry tears

facing fears

my dear

I hope you get your new board

I know you weren't the one

but you entwined my thoughts

and it made me fall



through dark holes

my own home

was no more

and the leaves fall



why me

fight me

hold me

love me

while I hope for your future

it's going to be bright

hoping that we're together

in the same light



but I know that I am asking for too much

and you know that what we had would never go too far

maybe, just maybe dreaming wasn't right

maybe, just maybe leaving wasn't right

so you can go with your packed bag

and wave me goodbye

you get in your car and go away

not knowing the difference
I guess i wasn't clever enough...
I let the chance clip through my fingers
Maybe, just maybe it would've been different
Or, it would've been MUCH FUNNIER IN REAL LIFE!!
