Jann Arden Album

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't wash away
And then leave you in the dark
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

I've never kissed a sweeter mouth
I've never been swept away
It's what dreams are made up of
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I've never seen this kind of love
The kind that won't slip away
Yes I'm soaring thru your heart
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya
Yeah yeah yeah

I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you

Busted down, outside of town
Had no gasoline
I should have fixed that thing
I should have fixed that thing

How can you go two hundred miles
Without seeing a single soul
I should have stuck on the main road
I should have stuck on the main road

Now I'm waiting, I am waiting
Now I'm waiting, I am waiting
If you saw my face right now
You'd say that I was crying
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
I'm really smiling

If you saw my hands right now
You'd swear that they were shaking

They're not, they're not, they're not
They're only waving

'Cause I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
For someone to come along

Heaven help anybody
The sun is going down
The sun is going down
The sun is going down

I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting
I am waiting, I waiting

Will you remember me when I'm gone
Will you remember me at all
I tried to be kind, I tried to be good
Will you remember me

God only knows why we try and fail
Is this heaven on earth or the fires of hell
I tried to be honest, it's hard not to lie
Will you remember me after I die
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

I've got a junkie heart in a cage of bone
I'm a scientific wonder, a sober son
I was born blue-blooded
So I've never made a cent on my own

I don't need to tell you that I'm afraid
'Cause I'll be paying for all the mistakes I've made
I tried to be thoughtful, it's hard not to be blind
Will you remember me after I'm gone
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me

She was forty-four years old or so she told me
She'd been working for a man
Who paid her twenty dollars
Just to hold him
I found that very sad
Very sad

Seems like an odd job to have, I know
To love somebody
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in
It's all the same
We do some strange things

He was lonely and in search of some redemption
And though he paid her well
He wondered if she'd be there
In the morning
He spend all that he had
On a working girl

Seems like an odd job to have, I know
To love somebody
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in
It's all the same
We do some strange things (2 x's)

Seems like an odd job to have, I know
To love somebody
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in
Some of us buy friends
Some of us buy houses to live in

Yes, we do, very strange things

I'm not your lover
And I am not your baby no more
I'm not your girlfriend
And you don't have to tell me
'Cause I already know
You already broke me down

I'm not your perfect angel
I am not your one and only
I'm not your sweet magnolia
It's not like you never told me
Love was just a fast car
And I was just a cross on the road

Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've got me all strung out
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart
On the kitchen floor
Is that what love is?
Is that what love's all about?

I'm not your lover
And I don't think you ever loved me
I'm not your partner
And I don't think I ever could be
Love is like lightning
Thunder's what you've got when it's gone

I'm not your lover
And I am not your baby no more
I'm not your girlfriend
And you don't have to tell me
'Cause I already know
You already broke my heart

Now you've got my tongue all twisted
You've got me all strung out
I'm lining up the pieces of my heart
On the kitchen floor
Tell me is that what love is?
Is that what love's all about?

I'm not your lover
I'm not your baby no more

Give me back my heart
It was never mine to give away
I'ts been taken apart
One too many times
And now the pieces won't fit into place

The truth is, I know how to lie
I lie to myself all the time
I told you, you could have it
But I was out of my mind
You can have any other part of me
But please give back my heart

Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart

I finally fell asleep last night
I had no lover's serenade
A crescent moon had ripped the sky
And stars were falling from my eyes
A tear-soaked lullaby

God was busy healing baby's bruises
God was busy answering prayers
God was busy cleaning a wounded earth
God was busy picking you off the ground

Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart
Hearts and arrows, drawn in the snow
Heaven's angels lay down their bows
Love is weary, love is worn out
Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

Please give back my heart

I used to think that I was a good girl
I used to think that the world was fair
Things have gone just a little bit crazy
Don't think I belong anywhere

I'm not so sure, I don't think I know
And I'm not afraid to tell you I'm a little bit scared
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think that I was a dreamer
I used to have my head in the clouds
Lately life's been nothing but a nightmare
The world keeps turning around and around (3 x's)

I feel so close, I don't think I know
And it's hard for me to tell you it's a little bit weird
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think that I was a dreamer

I'm never gonna get there

No the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to be a good girl (4 x's)

I left my kitchen window open last night
And all that fresh cold air came rushing in
It gets so damn dark down here
Sometimes I want that steel blue air

The only plant I had just up and died
I feel so bad 'cause it's my fault
It was stone bone dry
It hardly ever saw the sun
It never saw the rain come down

I got a cat so I'd have company
We seldom talk, he eats a lot
But seems to like me
My place has never been the same
I'd like to be alone again

I left my kitchen window open last night
I haven't seen the cat
He caught a midnight flight
It gets so damn dark down here
Sometimes I want that steel blue air

I just don't love you
Like I used to, like before
I just don't love you
The way you want me to
No I don't love you anymore

And I've been crying

I just don't love you
Don't love you (x 3)
Don't love you, anymore

You lie to me
Cry to me
Crawl on your hands and your knees begging please
Well what do you want?
What is it you need?
I've given you all that I have
I just don't love you, anymore
No, I don't love you

You pull me down
Push me around
I've had about all I can take
You fooled around
Busy doing the town
Constantly leaving your bait
Yes, I've been crying, over you
No I don't love you

You lied to me
Cried to me
Crawl on your hands and your knees begging please
Well what do you want?
What is it you need?
I've given you all that I have
I just don't love you, anymore
No I don't love you

And I've been crying

Why does everybody hurt
Every bitter sickening word breaks my heart
Why can't anybody hear
When the thunder disappears and the sun breaks free

It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Mercy me

Every color every shade
Everyone an angel made from the breath of God
I'm your mother I your son
I am not the other one that you love to hate

It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Pretty please...

When the fires all burn down
When they open up the ground and put you in
I'll lay flowers on your grave
It's a little too late for sorry now

It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
It's time for mercy
Mercy me

I died
When I heard your voice
After all this time
I poured over ancient letters
Poured over faded pictures
Poured over the last forgiveness
I thought I was
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

Fly by
Like a colored dream
That leaves your mind
My tears running like molasses
Heart finally collapses
Inside the beautiful
The ugliness will hide
I though I was
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

Words hardly heal rejection, you
Can't expect me just to lay down
And let you kiss it all away
It's too late

I died
When I heard your voice
After all this time
I thought I was
Over you
Over you
Over you
