Fairy Tale Lyrics

FAIRY TALE LYRICS

she tags along as the 'fifth wheel'
they never leave her behind
no one ever seems to question
whether she seems to mind

she’s tired of sayin yes to ‘bridesmaid’
she wants the toast raised up to her
to catch the veil and have it come true
s' the only thing that she prefers
she dreams away and then she opens up her eyes

she wonders where she’ll be tomorrow
she wonders when she’s gonna’ find her man
she needs to feel her superhero
so she can write her own fairy tale

the holidays seem like Mondays
they come too fast and go so slow
she never says, “thank God it’s friday”
unless she’s out with all the girls
all she ever wanted was her valentine

everything is so surreal
but she just wants to feel alive
she prays for the day
that she can fly away
& then he takes her to the promised land

Drama Queen Lyrics

DRAMA QUEEN LYRICS

I don’t want to hear about her
and she don’t wanna hear about me
"he said" "she said" this
but you say this and that
but we all see what’s goin’ on
it’s about time you leave

drama queen take a bow
for all the sh*# that you lay down all the time
cause your act is so damn tired
no more need to conspire & play your game

I don’t wanna hear how you’ll try
to set the record straight & smooth out the ride
why you tell your lies
on others you make bleed
to make you look better
and help you supersede

well I think you’d change your name
if it offered you some gain
& you’d promise her a ring
just to keep her on a string just in case

don't you play your game

Since You've Been Gone - Lyrics

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE - LYRICS

I thought I saw your car today
& remembered the nights that we used to play
I grabbed that chain that you once wore
you told me it gave you strength & more
but I just don't feel it raining down on me

since you’ve been gone
I’m not quite the same no more
there’s no tellin’ when I’ll be back on my feet again
I see your pictures and I still hear your voice in my head
but the way I feel now, I’m a far cry from heaven

can’t say if I will ever move on
part of me tries but part of me won’t
the darkness that keeps the light away
won’t let me see a brighter day
I’m searchin’ for your light to shine down on me

my good thoughts make me feel so small
compared to what you gave us all
nothing could ever replace you

He took you home to a better place
but God knows I miss those days

Waiting - Lyrics

WAITING - Lyrics

I see you through the window payne
as you walk away, you must go
unassuming is your way, I can see you & you don't know
now it's 3a.m. and you don't know
where to turn or which way you should go
and though you know it wasn't right
a part of you still knows it wasn't wrong

and though it's hard to say goodbye
if you're wondering tonight
I can ease your mind and say

I'll be everything you need me for
I'll give everything I have inside
I'll go anywhere to be with you
as long as I can still breathe
It's you I would never leave
I'll be here waiting

of all those times you needed him
yet those 3 words you never, ever heard
so here we are and no one knows
how we feel or what we've shared

waiting to hear what you need won't get you by
and it won't get you high
you know what lies inside and I can read your mind

I'm here waiting
why are you waiting
I'm here waiting, waiting for you

On My Own Lyrics

she says I walk too fast for her
& that my life is too much work
the harder that I try (to no avail)
the more she seems to mind (and I fail)
I wonder if I shouldn’t be (one more time)

on my own again
knowing where I've been
there's no one who can see from outside
I took a chance to find what was hidden inside
despite the doubts I heard along the way

black will never turn to white
& I was born to live at night
they all think it’s me (I'm the one)
they're better off to leave (I'm no good)
I'm damned & chastised either way (one more time)

well I can't be your saving grace
cause good intentions fade away when I'm gone
and you can't wait

on my own again

She Don't Know - Lyrics

She Don't Know - Lyrics

can you see me walkin on my way
I hope you can cause I can’t say
what’s come over me & jump-started my heart
I didn’t see it comin at all
as it was the start of my big fall
so I’ll give it a shot & see if I will survive

cause you never know how love will go
even though you think it’s your time
& I ain’t runnin away this time
on what I see that could be mine
cause she don’t know what she’s done to me

well I used to run right from the start
to keep the shield around my heart
I even passed on ecstasy on valentine's day
but now’s the time I must let go
of those tiny demons in my soul
forget the past & see the light of day

cause I don’t wanna give up this time
on what I see that could be mine
I’ve come this far and I’m still alive
and I know the reason is all but mine

well I'm not one to waste my time
but this one’s different so I’ll be just fine

she sings to me every day
makes my gray skies go away
she don't know what she's done to me
