Now That You're Gone

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

He Couldn't Love Me
03:09

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

What Do You Do

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?
