cheers to another bender
alibi
fade to black and blue
blind faith
vertigo
I could try to just let it go
Standing right in the undertow
I could die from the vertigo
It's alright 'till the lights get low
No, I can't go home again
No, I can't be in my head
I'm falling down again
I'm falling
In the night when I lose control
I get high and go down that road
In your eyes I get vertigo
But it's nice not to be alone
No, I can't go home again
No, I can't be in my head
I'm falling down again
I'm falling
I know you want to pull me down
(Je sais que tu veux me battre)
But I can't go back there
(Mais je ne peux pas y retourner)
I'm so tired of pretending
(Je ne peux plus faire semblant)
I'm so tired of being alone
(J'en ai marre d'être seul)
No, I can't go home again
No, I can't be in my head
I'm falling down again
I'm falling
villain
Why do I feel like walking when you’re talking to me?
Why do I go see him when I know I shouldn’t be?
I should be the hero in the story I have written
But I’m watching myself turn into the villain
You say I’ve been acting strange
I promise I will change
But I’m crossing my fingers behind my back
Blood on my hands from my latest attack
Tell you I love you, I’m no good at that
Can’t see your fate?
Well I’m painting it black
Why do I tell these lies to the one I truly love?
Why can’t I be the girl wearing white in his arms?
I should be the hero, the happy ever after
Why do all good things end in disaster?
You say I should play my part
But I’ve been bad from the start
Yeah, I’m crossing my fingers behind my back
Blood on my hands from my latest attack
Tell you I love you, I’m no good at that
Can’t see your fate? Well I’m painting it black
It’s too dangerous to fall in love
But you can’t hurt me now because
I’m crossing my fingers behind my back
Blood on my hands from my latest attack
Tell you I love you, I’m no good at that
Can’t see your fate?
Well, I’m painting it black
I’m crossing my fingers behind my back
lay down my arms
I'd lay down my arms
For a chance in yours
Call it a draw
Just to end this war
Since you left
I've begged for an encore
Go to our places
Find you in faces
But I still want more
Tears cried to right my wrongs
I lie , say I've moved on
Now we're riding down Sunset
Like the cowboys do
I was dying for one
Now I'm living for two
But what if this road
Can't handle us?
I follow the stars
Close down the bars
But what do I know about love?
Tears cried to right my wrongs
I lie , say I've moved on
Trapped in our history
Reasons we're meant to be
Call me a mystery
But I've figured it out
I know we've said it all before
But I'd lay down my arms
For a chance in yours
top down midnight drive
missed the warning signs
just a sip of liquor and I'm losing track of time
you and your bad ideas
whisper into my ear
place a bet, take me to bed
I wanna disappear
baby
you're the best
the way your hands move
up my dress
it's dangerous, a perfect crime
but I'll be your alibi
it's such an ugly place
but you′re my pretty mistake
a cinematic smile, oh no
I′m begging for a taste (oh)
sentimental weather
cross your heart, we're tethered
I keep your secret, toss the key
no one but you and me
baby you're the bestt
he way your hands move
up my dress
it's dangerous, a perfect crime
but I'll be your alibi
the city gets dark when I go outside
blacked out shades and black car rides
it’s half past five with these blood shot eyes
I can’t blame you forever
but maybe one more time, maybe one more line
maybe one more drink before I say goodbye
ties I’ll have to sever
cheers to another bender
so don’t think of me 'cause I’m too far gone
it’s a tragedy how we got so lost
you went right and I went wrong
I’ve been getting high
running from the truth
that my favorite drug was you
my favorite drug, my favorite drug was you
my favorite drug, my favorite drug was you
you walk in here like you own the night
never strike the match but you force a high
you play victim but your tears are dry
you can’t haunt me forever
but maybe one more lie, maybe one last try
When I’m moving on, am I on your mind?
ties I’ll have to sever
cheers to another bender
so don’t think of me 'cause I’m too far gone
it’s a tragedy how we got so lost
you went right and I went wrong
I’ve been getting high
running from the truth
that my favorite drug was you
my favorite drug, my favorite drug was you
my favorite drug, my favorite drug was you
lights on I’m alone
staring at the numbers on my phone
I should’ve gone home half past two
but you were the only home I knew
locked eyes high in your living room
Was nothing true?
I’m hooked on you
so don’t think of me 'cause I’m too far gone
it’s a tragedy how we got so lost
you went right and I went wrong
I’ve been getting high
running from the truth
that my favorite drug was you
my favorite drug, my favorite drug was you
my favorite drug, my favorite drug was you
we sit at that bar
jukebox doesn't start
so I play a sad song in my head
I know you're leaving soon
no curtain call for you
so I watch the credits roll again
it ain't fun for us
'till it's dangerous
'till it turns to dust
too much we can't undo
it ain't love for us
'till it kills one of us or two
'till the ceiling cracks
we fade to black and blue
my feet on your dashboard
only love you when I'm bored
my heart is sore so it's yours again
summer leaves the frame
and I mourn my youth in vain
afraid I'll wake to find nothing left
it ain't fun for us
'till it's dangerous
'till it turns to dust
too much we can't undo
it ain't love for us
'till it kills one of us or two
'till the ceiling cracks
we fade to black and blue
it ain't fun for us
'till it's dangerous
'till it turns to dust
too much we can't undo
it ain't love for us
'till it kills one of us or two
'till the ceiling cracks
we fade to black and blue
ungrateful
pull the ashtray closer
I'm begging for the closure
I'm begging for a light
though I quit last night
I take the train to Brooklyn
you ask me what I'm doing
have I had too much?
I always push my luck
I'm on my way to love
someone I don't love
someone I don't trust
but I can't get enough
she says I'm hurting and that's why I hurt them
I should be thankful
I'm so ungrateful, I'm so unkind
but I'm alright, oh, I'm alright
pull that body closer
I'm getting far from sober
not like I was that night
I've grown up this time
I'm on my way back home
but it don't feel like home
feelings I can't show
but I can't let them go
no, I can't let them go
she says I'm hurting and that's why I hurt them
I should be thankful
I'm so ungrateful, I'm so unkind
but I'm alright, oh, I'm alright
when I show up late, make the same mistakes
swear that I won't, I will again
when I'm out all night, tell another lie
please believe that I'll be alright again
pull the ashtray closer
I'm begging for the closure
I'm begging for a light
though I quit last night again
fantasy girl
She’s the roses in Reno
The back of your mind
The show you wanna see
But you don’t see what’s behind
Her paper disguise
Make believe world
Your fantasy girl
She’s the table in the corner
Summer on 35
You’re trying to ignore her
Well neither can I
Her paper disguise
Make believe world
Your fantasy girl
She’s robbing you blind
Stuck in your head
When you’re looking at me
You’re seeing her instead
Her paper disguise
Make believe world
Your fantasy girl
But who am I?
If you think I’m her
Your fantasy girl
Your fantasy girl
I'm drowning in a sea of static
I'm sleepless in a bed for two
I hear the war through the speakers
dance with the shadows in my room
slowly these shadows look like you
give me something to believe in
even if it's not true
I'll have blind faith in you
(I do if you do too)
we're burning daylight just for fun
let's drive 'till the dark turns into dawn
will you still haunt me when you're gone?
give me something to believe in
even if it's not true
I'll have blind faith in you
(I do if you do too)
what will it take?
a little fear? a little faith?
what can I do?
I'm giving up on you
give me something to believe in
even if it's not true
I'll have blind faith in you
(I do if you do too)
(even if it's not true)
(I do if you do)
archetype
Tell me something
I've been feeling kind of strange
There's something
Heating up inside my veins
It's breaking
The bars I put on your cage
Come on baby
Don't you say that to my face
I'll give you
Something you should be afraid of
But you
Still won't run away
When the moment dies
It comes as no surprise
I'm my archetype
It'll all go wrong
And then I'll be gone
Told you I'm the
Architect of my demise
Oh I'm the
Villain of my own design
So baby
Why does it feel so right?
When the moment dies
It comes as no surprise
I'm my archetype
It'll all go wrong
And then I'll be gone
All go wrong
I'll be gone
All go wrong
When the moment dies
It comes as no surprise
I'm my archetype
It'll all go wrong
And then I'll be gone
cool for you
I memorize the music between
Your hands, my hips
A heavenly scene
But the dress I'm wearing
Tears at the seams
These girls in movies
Are watching me
I try to be cool for you
I try not to break in two
But I do
You're nostalgia
In a black velvet suit
I pick my persona
Like you pick your shoes
Now I'm getting wasted
In the afternoon
I wish I could chase it
With something like you
I try to be cool for you
I try not to break in two
But I do
Hold it in my hands but I still can't have it (x4)
I try to be cool for you
I try not to break in two
But I do
I do, I do, I do
