You had to cry me out and it's your fault And every time I died inside, they've caught us all But you're the prettiest thing here and alive I want to set you free and see you fly Loyal to the end, I was your only friend And where was I when you cried for me again, and again )x3 So sweet as the summer sunshine all around Go weep little baby, I'm nowhere to be found I never knew how to give to you But now I know I just should've gave you more I'm sitting here today plucking away, and away )x3 So why couldn't I spare a couple time and a time You were my one love I could have written a song for I'm pouring out my heart along now that you're gone Last thing you cried for was to see the sky But what I didn't realize at the time, I was in your eyes I wrapped you in box so small as your home Now you sleep beside the widow all on your own I never knew how to give to you But now I know I just should've gave you more I never knew how to give to you But now I know I just should've gave you more You're the prettiest thing here and alive I want to set you free and see you fly You were my one love I could have written a song for I'm pouring out my heart along now that you're gone Only I'm pouring out my heart along now that you're gone I never knew how to give to you But now I know I just should've gave you more I never knew how to give to you But now I know I just should've gave you more

You got me loving love songs, you got me singing all day long I’m feeling things I’m not so used to you got me feeling warm inside, even burning up at times how’d you do this to me, what did you do? At night I want to dream with you feel your heart beat under mine heavy bass like music, through it I could almost read your mind I love you, I love you in the morning stay with me til night and I love you, I love you in the evening won’t you stay until it’s light This song will be someday but a memory that’s the only thing that brings me low time keeps slipping fast and can’t hold onto it, we’re slowly dripping down to the last hour how, just how will we let go I’ll hear you when you’re long gone far away we finally met in the early light your heart beat like music, through it I could almost read your mind I love you, I love you in the morning stay with me til night and I love you, I love you in the evening won’t you stay until it’s light I love you in the morning, and I love you in the evening I love you all the time, and will always, even after we say goodbye

Appleseeds 03:18
You’re calling for me You can't wait to get back inside of me Hanging on desperately Lost in the midst of your daydream You’re calling for me You can’t wait to get back tight with me But I’ll no longer be Caught with the devil in your daydream You had guilt at my throat With shame hanging loose Till you had me choking on and coughing up my own sugar coat Peel me open, hurry, cut me right open Bite into my appleseeds and die, and die again Peel me open, hurry, cut me right open Bite into my appleseeds and die, and die again She's calling for me She's calling to pick up the last of me But he's just fallen asleep I don't think he's ever ever going to leave I was blinded by the noise And deafened by my fear Still, you had to top it off with daze and chocolate covered poison Peel me open, hurry, cut me right open Bite into my appleseeds and die, and die again Peel me open, hurry, cut me right open Bite into my appleseeds and die, and die again Peel me open, hurry, cut me right open Bite into my appleseeds and die, and die again Peel me open, hurry, cut me right open Bite into my appleseeds and die, and die again

An angel is sent from above and there’s nothing that I want more But I don’t know how to love because I’ve never been loved before I came into this world with an open and empty heart And the only friends I’ve made so far are the lonely and the dark I won’t darken your heart, let you become what I’ve come to be I’m gonna love you like he couldn’t love me You free me from all my scars, tear down all my walls Among the million shining stars you shine brightest of them all I won’t darken your heart… I’m gonna love you like he couldn’t love me I’m gonna love you like he couldn’t love me Am I causing you pain am I causing me pain? Well I don’t know how to get out I’m causing you pain and I’m causing me pain but I don’t know how to get out Show me the way out the door let’s escape to treasure this gold we’ve found I won’t darken your heart… I’m gonna love you like he couldn’t love me I’m gonna love you like he couldn’t love me

Memories and forgotten dreams they came for me, and then they left me there Some time had past some time ago We were always close and yet so unaware When you bring me in close to you and your hands are around my waist What's on your mind? My mind wanders... When you look at me the way you do and I catch you every time What's on your mind? My mind wanders... What do you do? What do you do when you love someone you're not suppose to? What do you do? What do you do? How do you let go when you love him so? A dark turn of mind, I've had a broken heart by the day we started to play And finally you're finding me now all I need is for you to stay When you bring me in close to you and you look at me the way you do what's on your mind I attempt to read The star shines brightly stands still and gazes back at me and all of your signs are tempting me What do you do?… Go away, they're coming, coming back for me When will they, when will they set me free? Go away, they're coming, coming back for me When will they, when will they let me be? When you bring me in close to you and you look at me the way you do What's on your mind? My mind wanders... I thought you felt the same, I thought maybe, just maybe you sang those songs for me but all along your mind was going home to her What do you do? What do you do when you love someone you don’t want to? What do you do? What do you do? How do you let go when you love him so?
