Rag Doll

I'm trying to figure out
if I'm ever on your mind
I'm trying to figure out
if I'm ever worth your time
I realize how self conscious I sound
but I can't help feeling inferior
and you know I'll never say it out loud
but you know you like being superior

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
and pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
and pushing me to see how hard I fall

You've been ignorant for so long
without knowing what you're doing to me
You don't, you don't get it at all
You only believe what your eyes can see
There's more to us than what your hand can touch
so much more than you bother to look at
Saying you're sorry will never be enough
when I know you'll never take it back

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall

Where do you get off
treating me the way you do
Who do you think you are
killing me the way you do
The nights I spent trying
to find a way to escape
I gave up on fighting
Goodbye is my only escape

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be

Where do you get off
treating me the way you do
Who do you think you are
killing me the way you do

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall

Don't treat me like a child
or think you're better than me
Being walked on has never been my style
and I don't intend for it to be
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall
I'm sick of you trying to change who I am
pushing me to see how hard I fall

Throw me around like a rag doll
Throw me around like a rag doll

Winner Take All

In this picture of quiet innocence
I cry to make it hurt less
Do you want the truth
unadorned from me to you?
Every heart knows defeat
and when it can't take the heat

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
so hard to find a deep appreciation
for this shit you pull over my head
hoping, praying I never find it
That little box of lines you call you heart
You can't tell the truth and lies apart

Don't fool yourself, you're no Casanova
and it takes a bitch to know one
I bend until I start to crack
I keep my back bending until I snap
Wipe away your exaggerated tears
You'll find no sympathy here

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
so hard to find a deep appreciation
for this shit you pull over my head
hoping, praying I never find it
That little box of lines you call your heart
You can't tell the truth and lies apart

Don't tell me it's all my fault
because you don't know me at all
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
so hard to find a deep appreciation
for this shit you pull over my head
hoping, praying I never find it
That little box of lines you call your heart
You can't tell the truth and lies apart

Sometimes it all feels like a lose-lose situation
(You think I'm up when I'm down)
so hard to find a deep appreciation
(Your twisted words keep me upside down)
for this shit you pull over my head
(You think I'm up when I'm down)
hoping, praying I never find it
(Your twisted words keep me upside down)
That little box of lines you call your heart
(You think I'm up when I'm down)
You can't tell the truth and lies apart
(Your twisted words keep me upside down)

You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down
You think I'm up when I'm down
Your twisted words keep me upside down

The Monster Within

Everybody gather 'round
Take a look at the beast, the hound
Get a glimpse of the monster within
at a wolf inside sheep's clothing
Or maybe it's just a scared little girl
trying to find her place in your world

Don't be misled by the triviality
of everything you see
I don't spend time with you
just to hear what I do wrong
I wear my heart outside my chest
It's my one and only weakness
I've spent my whole life
trying not to fall

Do you remember the day we met?
You became my safety net
but lately something's not right
and you've started picking fights
so I gave up relying on love
to get me through me when times got rough

Don't be misled by the triviality
of everything you see
I don't spend time with you
just to hear what I do wrong
I wear my heart outside my chest
It's my one and only weakness
I've spent my whole life
trying not to fall

Do you remember all the good times
back when things were better than fine
I find myself reminiscing
before you put so much distance between us
What do you want me to say?
What more can I say?
It won't make any difference
I've learned to look after myself

Don't be misled by the triviality
of everything you see
I don't spend time with you
just to hear what I do wrong
I wear my heart outside my chest
It's my one and only weakness
I've spend my whole life
learning how to fly

Puppet

Pull my strings to make me speak
and while you're at it
why don't you tell me what to think
I've got my own words
Don't take them away from me
to complete your perfect world

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become
Was it not good enough
to give you everything I had?
It must not have been enough

I put up with so much crap
until I just couldn't deal
You fell and I took the rap
It's not my fault
you couldn't deal with anything
My leaving is all your fault

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become
Was it not good enough
to give you everything I had?
It must not have been enough

Where did you go?
Who are you now?
Is there nothing left to do
but say goodbye
Say we gave it a shot
but we just don't have the fight

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become

I hate what I've become
what you turned me into
I hate what you've become
Was it not good enough
to give you everything I had?
It must not have been enough

Pull my strings
Pull my strings
Pull my strings
to make me speak

Empty Promises

I'm not waiting around on empty promises
but I find I'm just as hesitant
to ultimately end what we could have had
But if I could have my heart back
I don't know if I ever really would
have a whole heart like I should

Will you put me back together?
Will you put me back together?
Take the pieces of my soul
tape them up to make me whole
Will you put me back together?
Will you put me back together?
Take the pieces of my soul
tape them up to make me whole again

We never ended up being what you said
I would say that's what you intended
to string me along with plans of tomorrow
and you left to alone to drown in this sorrow
I can't figure out why I can't tell you goodbye
It's the only thing keeping me up at night

Will you put me back together?
Will you put me back together?
Take the pieces of my soul
tape them up to make me whole
Will you put me back together?
Will you put me back together?
Take the pieces of my soul
tape them up to make me whole again

I've got a chance for someone new
He gives me the truth, unlike you
He doesn't tell me what he thinks I want to hear
and he knows how to make me feel
I'm not waiting around on empty promises
I've met someone who knows how to keep them

Will he put me back together?
Will he put me back together?
Take the pieces of my soul
tape them up to make me whole
Will he put me back together?
Will he put me back together?
Well someday we will know
Someday we will know

Andrew

Hey Andrew
I've got some things I want to say to you
Let's start with an obvious one
you and me, we used to have fun
until you got selfish
Take a bow, you got your wish
You pushed me away
You pushed me so far away

So I said goodbye
not this time
You think you're charming
but I think you're sickening
I'm telling you how much I hate you but
all you can is say is that you've got your own song

Hey Andrew
I've got some things I want to say to you
Get off your high horse
I think you're being a poor sport
Maybe if you didn't lie
You wouldn't have made me cry
You pushed me away
You pushed me so far away

So I said goodbye
not this time
You think you're charming
but I think you're sickening
I'm telling you how much I hate you but
all you can say is that you've got your own song

I don't know if you know but I heard
I guess you got what you deserve
Leave me alone
I'd rather be alone

Hey Andrew
Hey Andrew

So I said goodbye
Hey Andrew
not this time
Hey Andrew
You think you're charming
but I think you're sickening
I'm telling you how much I hate you but
all you can say is that you've got your own song

No Such Thing

Remembering a time back then
what I wouldn't give to be there again
I thought we could move on
but I couldn't be more wrong
I'm giving up on believing
It's about time to dive in

There's no such thing as magic
You can't put my heart back in
There's no such thing as fate
You broke me down day by day
There's no such thing as loyalty
as long as we rely on honesty
It's a little above and beyond
but there's no such thing as love

Welcome to the mind of the pessimistic
We pride ourselves on being realistic
so I'm a little negative
Give me something to believe in
It helps me to pass the time
to act like I'm just fine

There's no such thing as magic
You can't put my heart back in
There's no such thing as fate
You broke me down more each day
There's no such thing as loyalty
as long as we rely on honesty
It's a little above and beyond
but there's no such thing as love

Let go of your childhood fantasies
the world you see in your dreams
Come back down to the ground
where your head stays out of the clouds

There's no such thing as magic
You can't put my heart back in
There's no such thing as fate
You broke me down more each day
There's no such thing as loyalty
as long as we rely on honesty
It's a little above and beyond
but there's no such thing as love
