That's Not Good Enough

I don't know who told you this
but I am not your therapist
This isn't supposed to be a one-sided conversation
You wouldn't understand my frustrations
Everything revolves around your perfect world
and your perfect world shows how shallow you are
As your friend, I feel I should tell you
the way you act from a different point of view

You're a selfish little girl, you've got your eye on the prize
You've got a sneer on your face, and your nose in the sky
I bet you're think you're perfect
but I know that you're not worth it
You think you're pretty, but you're ugly to me
I wanna open your eyes to what everyone else sees
Watch while I call your bluff
I'd rather be me, even if that's not good enough

Have you listened to the things you say?
They sound so dumb, but you say them anyway
I'm not in the mood for playing nice
and I don't really care if you think you're right
You can't keep pushing me around
so stop acting so damn proud
I've got nothing left in me
Nothing left to escape this rivalry

You're a selfish little girl, you've got your eye on the prize
You've got a sneer on your face, and your nose in the sky
I bet you think you're perfect
but I know that you're not worth it
You think you're pretty, but you're ugly to me
I wanna open your eyes to what everyone else sees
Watch while I call your bluff
I'd rather be me, even if that's not good enough

You've got fast cars and expensive pearls
You're nothing more than a spoiled little rich girl
Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm lying
Tell me that I've crossed the line
You're feeling unstoppable, invincible
just tell me if it was worth selling out
Dry those eyes, your tears won't do you any good here
Don't come crying call I'll give you no sympathy

You're a selfish little girl, you've got your eye on the prize
You've got a sneer on your face, and your nose in the sky
I bet you think you're perfect
but I know that you're not worth it
You think you're pretty but you're ugly to me
I wanna open your eyes to what everyone else sees
Watch while I call your bluff
I'd rather be me even if that's not good enough

Over My Head

I never believed in love at first glance
but for you, I gave it a chance
Sniper steady your gun, aim carefully
Do your very best not to miss me
Pull me under, drag me deeper
Deeper underground, I'm six feet under
I closed my eyes, prayed for an escape
because I couldn't bear to watch you walk away

Standing at the edge of this cliff
I take a deep breath before diving in
and as the waves crash around me
I fight and I struggle, it gets harder to breathe
I can't keep fighting the tide
I can't keep my feelings on the inside
It looks like I'm in over my head
and I find myself drowning in the pain

The road keeps winding in front of me
and when the headlights blind me
my hands let go of the wheel
The crashing of metal drown out my screams
I can't find the will to move
so I slowly let my eyes close
Before everything fades to black
I wish you were there to take my hand

Heart racing, my nerves are shot
My fingers open and the match falls
The spark keeps working its way higher
leaving a trail of destruction behind it
I can't keep fighting the fire
I can't keep my cries on the inside
It looks like I'm in over my head
and I find myself dying in the pain

There's not a cure for the sickness inside me
There's not a way to banish the demon inside me
Put me out when I'm on fire
Pull me up when I'm buried alive
Memories keep flashing, leaving me blinded
The silence between us is deafening
It doesn't matter who is at fault here
Just lay me soul to rest in peace

I wouldn't be asking for your help
if I had the strength to save myself
and because you're the one killing me
please quickly end all of my suffering
The trail will grow colder behind me
I'll die with your buried memories
It looks like I'm in over my head
but I'm just dying in the pain

Leave You In The Past

What would happen if I caught your eye?
Would you look away or give me that smile?
The one that makes it hard to breathe
the one that puts you out of reach
I try to cover it up by crying in the rain
but even that won't hide the pain
The book I'm reading has your name in it
and I think of how unfair it is

How did you manage to come out unharmed?
How did you escape without even a scar?
Did you suffer at all?
Did I break down your walls?
If you could do it all over again,
would you take the chance?
I know that we can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

I wish you would have made up your mind
I wish it was the other way around
but I wanted to believe
that you were the one star I could reach
but before I got a hold on this
It slipped right through my fingertips
I hope you're happy being oblivious
while I'm no better at being miserable

How did you manage to come out unharmed?
How did you escape without even a scar?
Did you suffer at all?
Did I break down your walls?
If you could do it all over again,
would you take the chance?
I know that we can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

I've put up my walls, no one gets in
I've turned so cold, my heart is frozen
I'm tired of being let down
I'm tired of pulling myself off the ground
I die one small piece at a time
until I'm dead on the inside
I think it's time I said goodbye
It's about time I started to feel alive

I'm not saying I came out unharmed
I couldn't escape without a scar
I just can't keep waiting for an "us"
Depending on you is never enough
If I could do it all over again
I don't think I'd take that chance
We can't find a way to last
so I think I'll leave you in the past

The Theft

There's nothing they can do
There is no case if there is no proof
They're looking in all the wrong places
They're looking at all the wrong faces

I can't eat
I can't breathe
I know you're coming back here
to take what's left of me
What's left of me

I watch and wait in the dead of the night
Silently daring you to come inside
I tried so hard to protect myself
I put myself through my own personal hell

I can't eat
I can't breathe
I know you're coming back here
to take what's left of me
What's left of me

It wasn't yours for the taking
Now look at the mess you're making
I know it's a matter of time
One sound and I start to unwind
There's no sense in sneaking around
Trying not to make a sound
You won't stop until you get what you want
You won't rest until you steal my heart

I can't eat
I can't breathe
I know you're coming back here
to take what's left of me
What's left of me

If you only gave me a little more time
You wouldn't have to take what's mine
I'd give it to you willingly
but you just couldn't wait for me

Mercy

I gave you two chances to do right
and you threw them back at me
I'm not the one to blame here
and I'll show your crimes on the witness stand
There's a newfound strength inside me
I'll be damned if I let you off the hook
That gnawing feeling in the back of your mind
I hope that's you feeling guilty

If I ever see you again
I hope you ask for my forgiveness
Get down on your knees
start begging me please
Beg me for mercy
Oh, sweet angel of mercy
Sweet angel of mercy
Angel of mercy

I know I should be the bigger person
and simply learn to forgive and forget
but after the pain you put me through
I can't drop the charges yet
I want to bring you as low as you brought me
I want you to feel the same pain I felt
I hope you feel the stabbing pain in your heart
and you're so broken down, you're so helpless

If I ever see you again
I hope you ask for forgiveness
Get down your knees
start begging me please
Beg me for mercy
Oh, sweet angel of mercy
Sweet angel of mercy
Angel of mercy

Look up to me
Hang on to every word I say
Wonder why I haven't called yet
and think about me every day

I want you to know what this feels like
Can you rely on me?
Dissect every word to see if they're lies
and figure out which to believe
This all sounds familiar
We've been here before
But I'll be the one to leave you hanging
Leave you wanting more

If I ever see you again
I hope you ask for my forgiveness
Get down on your knees
start begging me please
Beg me for mercy
Oh, sweet angel of mercy
Sweet angel of mercy
Angel of mercy

Angel of mercy
I am your angel of mercy

Coward

I see the questions in your eyes
The words dying on your tongue
Ask me the truth, I'll tell you no lies
When you ask me how I'm doing
and I tell you I'm fine
You should read a little more into it

When I leave, I won't look back
Call me the coward we both know I am

I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
Running away

Tomorrow you'll wake to an empty bed
You're read this letter and try to catch me
But I'm too far gone, too far ahead
I couldn't stand to do this to your face
I have to leave without you catching me
because I know you'll get me to stay

When I leave, I won't look back
Call me the coward we both know I am

I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
Running away

I know you'll call my phone
and you know I won't pick it up
I'll avoid the confrontation
When I leave, I'm not looking back
Call me the coward we both know I am
When I close your door, I won't open it again
Call me the coward we both know I am

I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
Running away

It All Fell Apart

You've got a way of making me feel weak
I've got a way of putting my mind on repeat
You always said it was a secret only we knew
but what kind of friend does that make you?
To hide your feelings for your best friend's ex
Should I be happy that you risked your neck?
I wonder if you remember
I wonder if you remember
Do you remember?

In the backseat of your car
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be

I had a feeling my trust in you was undeserving
I had a feeling that it wasn't worth it
You're like a spider, always spinning a web
I'm caught, you always know my weakness
You give me no other choice, I can't stay
I can't stay here to watch you run away
I wonder if you remember
I wonder if you remember
Do you remember

In the backseat of your car
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be

I wonder if you feel guilty sometimes
If you see my face when you look in her eyes
All I want is an apology
because the one who sacrificed was me
I don't know what I ever saw in you
but I'm not the only one that you had fooled

Do you remember?
I hope you remember

In the backseat of your car
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car,
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be

In the backseat of your
lie the memories of who we are
What I meant to you, what you meant to me
In the backseat of your car
It all fell apart, it all fell apart
That's where you'll find what we used to be
