If you see me in the street
You better look the other way
‘Cause if you take a step towards me
There will be hell to pay
Yeah I need six degrees of separation
From your web of lies
So how many iterations
Will make you realize
I won’t let you have power over me
I’ll walk out that door so quietly
That I’ll be gone, and I’ll be long gone, before you get out of bed
That’s what you get for fucking with my head
One deceitful cry
Is met with thunderous applause
As you dramatize
My character flaws
And I won’t lie
I have to give you credit
You had me flying
Up to cloud eleven
But every time
I came crashing down
That’s when I
Started saying aloud
I won’t let you have power over me
I’ll walk out that door so quietly
That I’ll be gone, and I’ll be long gone, before you get out of bed
That’s what you get for fucking with my head
And it’s not petty
I don’t need to win
I just won’t be the one
To die for your sins
So go ahead, say what you like
Make me out to be a fool
I’ll do by me, and everyone will see
I was better off without you
So I won’t let you have power over me
I’ll walk out that door so quietly
That I’ll be gone, and I’ll be long gone, before you get out of bed
That’s what you get for fucking with my head
I’ll walk out that door
You won’t see me anymore
I won’t let you
I won’t let you
Have power over me
I don’t need you
I don’t need you
When will you see?

Nothing Left to Say

It’s over
It’s done
And in the end you won
I’m broken
I’m beat
I can’t do this on repeat
Because I know you’ll give me your word
You’ll say you don’t want to see me hurt
But all I see in you is pain
So I’ve got nothing left to say
What happened?
You’re sad?
Oh did he make you feel bad?
Well that’s not my problem
It’s yours
And I won’t fall for your allure
Because I know you’ll give me that look
Because you know how to read me like a book
But I won’t entertain the games you play
So I’ve got nothing left to say
I guess you
Got what you want
Your friends, your life, another guy to flaunt
But if you wanted me
You went about it wrong
I just wish you saw that all along
Because this ain’t a mistake you can fix
No this isn’t one of your magic tricks
I gave you every chance and you still pulled away
So I’ve got nothing left to say

Let’s Stay For a While

I can’t seem to get you off my mind
I’m incapacitated
By your eyes
Those grassy greens swaying
Underneath a deep blue sky
Juxtaposing black and white
And I’ve lost track of time
It’s not a mystery
I have a tendency to
Watch the day go by
Because I’m living in a dream
Of hills that come alive
Rich in history
Filled with hymns and stories
That tell of the divine
Just waiting to break free
Oh, it would seem
That this fantasy
Should be reality
And would you believe
That I never want to leave?
So let’s stay for a while
Oh darling, just walk a mile
In my shoes
Cause if you saw yourself
You’d see all I have to lose
Tomorrow is another day
So let’s wash that worry away
What’s a dollar, an interest rate
When all the wealth in the world
Is right here today?
And you
Act like you’ve got nothing to prove
For that I admire you
And when you come around, I’m bound
To see a disposition that can only be found
On display at the Louvre
Watching my every move
If only you could see
The thoughts in my head
When you’re next to me
So give me some reprieve
‘Cause it’s a crime, indeed
Every time you leave
So let’s stay for a while
Oh darling, just walk a mile
In my shoes
Cause if you saw yourself
You’d see all I have to lose
Tomorrow is another day
So let’s wash that worry away
What’s a dollar, an interest rate
When all the wealth in the world
Is right here today?
Now I don’t want to taunt or tease
With words that fall on your ears with ease
Ask me, I’d say we’ve achieved
A certain authenticity
So honey help me understand
You have me under your command
My heart, my life, are in your hands
‘Cause you’re my woman, I’m your man
Let’s just stay
Just for a little while
Just think of all the miles
My shirt is torn
My soles are worn
The scorched earth underneath is scorned
And yet it’s cold
From times of old
I know the new passes faster
Than we can hold
But that’s okay
If all we had was today
I would rest easy knowing where you lay
So let’s just stay
Let’s just stay
Just for a little while
