Why do I look for love at the wrong times? (X2) Just because I cover my eyes, doesn't mean you'll disappear You're still here, you're still here And all the while I meant something else And all the time I spent on nothing else Proves the thought that life goes by And that love as we know it Is compromised 'Cause love as we know it seems so contrived And I don't wanna cry anymore Out of the door Out of the window Out of the closet The things I abhor I'm throwing out Out to the wind Out of the door Out of the window Out of the closet The things I adore I'm holding out 'Til I'm home again

Break Away 03:20
Trust me, trust me, trust me in the night Trust me, trust me, trust me it’ll be alright soon Trust me, trust me, trust me when you wake up Trust me, trust me, trust me it’ll break It’ll break away It was just a mistake anyway It’ll break away It was just a mistake that you made Trust me, trust me, trust me through the pain Trust me, trust me, trust me it’ll start to fade away eventually Trust me, trust me, trust me ‘cause you can’t see out now Trust me, trust me, trust me that I know what I’m talking about Trust me, trust me, trust me in the night Trust me, trust me, trust me it’ll be alright soon Trust me, trust me, trust me when you wake up Trust me, trust me, trust me it’ll break It’ll break away It was just a mistake anyway It’ll break away It was just a mistake that you made Just walk away Just let the chips fall Where they may

Overgrown 05:03
When I was young, I thought about the sky I wondered who I was and then I wondered why And when I found out, I started to cry 'Cause you won't make it to heaven unless you deny The basic fundamentals of this peculiar human life I'm overgrown like a garden left untamed So unruly, free from choosing, so the darkness goes away But there will be hell to pay Oh, there will be hell to pay Walking through the field where the wild flowers sway Through the wind I hear the whisper, "little girl, you must obey" So I took off my shoes and I took off my socks I put my hands in the river to rub all my make up off In one hand I am beautiful - beautiful and bright I am one with all creation, I am lovely and alive In the other I am ugly, I am lifeless I am dry 'Cause I entertained the whisper, the one that told me that I... I want to be overgrown I want to be exposed I want to know and to be known I don't want to be alone But to express my deepest regret Is to risk losing everyone

Blaming You 03:53
Being afraid is the best place to be Though initially, it's harder than it should be To veer off into the wild of the heart It's actually the safest place to start So I'm blaming you For all the things you do For what you put me through But in truth, I'm thanking you I'm thanking you for Making me face the things I never wanted to I'm thanking you for Looking at me the same When I didn't look at you I'm thanking you for Letting me run away Letting me grow and change When all the while it was only you Who really knew

This is a song for the mourning When you’ve just got nothing left This is a song for redemption When you just needed a friend To tell you that it’s not the end To show you stars at night past 10:00 ‘Cause the hardest part wasn’t letting go of you The hardest part was letting go too soon This is a song for the morning ‘Cause the night’s never enough This is a song for the quiet rides When you don’t want to think too much When you don’t want to drink too much Of your lies The hardest part wasn’t letting go of you The hardest part was letting go too soon The hardest part wasn’t standing in front of you The hardest part was wondering ‘could I still love you?’ I was wondering, ‘could I still love you the way that I used to?’
