Don't You Listen

Did you hear a single word I just said?
Do I have to repeat myself a million times
You never hear me when I say
That you remember everything you ever read
And every thing that's on T.V.
And all the things you did today
But never a word I ever say
Don't you listen?
Why don't you listen?
Won't you give me a reason why I should stay?
Do I have to repeat myself a trillion times?
You never hear me when I say
That you remember everything you ever read
And every thing that's on T.V.
And all the things you did today
But never a word I ever say
Don't you listen?
Why don't you listen?
Why can't you get it through your head?
I'd be much better off, shutting up instead
Did you hear a single word I just said?
Do I have to repeat myself a billion times
You never hear me when I say
That you remember everything you ever read
And every thing that's on T.V.
And all the things you did today
But never a word I ever say
Don't you listen?
Why don't you listen?

Kiss You Next Week

Chasing that feeling wherever it leads
I’ve got things I want now
I’ve got things I need
You’re breaking my heart now
Come watch it bleed
I don’t know where we’re going
I don’t know where this leads
This won’t be over ‘till one of us pleads
No one will move on now
No one will concede
All the long and lonely nights
All the feelings something wasn’t right
Kiss you next week
Something’s going on
Something’s coming over me
I really can’t explain
Kiss you next week
Something’s going wrong
I can’t eat and I can’t sleep
I really can’t explain
Don’t make me wait
Tomorrow or the next day
Might just be too late
Don’t hesitate
We might be missing out
On something really great
Oh lovely lady
You’re beautiful, original to me
Oh lovely lady
I close my eyes
You’re everything I see?
Do you believe in fate?
Or do you think we never really tried?
Do you believe in love?
Or are we only dancing
To the strings from up above?
All the long and lonely nights
All the feelings something wasn’t right
Kiss you next week
Something’s going on
Something’s coming over me
I really can’t explain
Kiss you next week
Something’s going wrong
I can’t eat and I can’t sleep
I really can’t explain
Can’t explain

Jenny Backwards
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
She don’t want anything to do with you
She’s got the lights on all alone
Typing in the dark in her old room
But you know she’s never been alone
She seems so strange
But so familiar
Has it really been all that long?
Jenny Backwards
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
She don’t want anything to do with you
You want to see her
But you don’t know what to say
You’re tongue tied for second place
But you know she’s normally not in this place
She seems so strange
But so familiar
Has it really been all that long?
She makes you weak
She makes you wish for something
She’s got the lights on all alone
Typing in the dark in her old room
But you know she’s never been alone
She came from far away
But she didn’t come to see you
She knows better than to
Open an old wound
Jenny Backwards
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
She don’t want anything to do with you

Sorry

I gave you love I gave you everything you wanted but you just don't give back to me
I was a fool I was so stupid going round and round but just too blind to see
I told your friends that you were fine and you were happy just as happy as can be
I tried my best to answer all your stupid questions when there was no answer to see.
I tried to fix all your parts
But I can't fix your heart
And you just ain't sorry bout it
Yeah you're mean as can be
Hell you're meaner than me
And you just ain't sorry bout it
I gave you drugs gave you the cure I held your head up but you just don't do it for me
I tried my best to answer all your stupid questions when there was no answer to see
I gave you love
Hell you're mean as can be
Yeah you're meaner than me
And you just ain't sorry bout it
I tried to fix all your parts
But I can't fix your heart
And you just ain't sorry bout it
