Matchbook Romance Album

Have you, have you been keeping secrets from me?
Hoped I wouldn't find out
And you'd just go free
There's a whole world outside your window pane
And I've got scars to prove it
But you should have known,
You should have known,
You should have known,
You should have known

Run, you can run, you can run
We'll find you
Was is it everything you hoped it would be
What kept your world spinning
Left you diseased

Your apologies will never sooth the sting
Just keep scratching our eyes out
You should have known,
You should have known,
You should have known

Run, you can run, you can run
We'll find you
Run, you can run, you can run
We'll find you

These are my sins
These are my regrets
I wouldn't trade them in for some truth
And just let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

Don't waste your breath
Save your tears for somebody who believes
I can't help myself, let alone you
I give up
I give up

These are my dreams, these are my beliefs
I wouldn't trade them in for something real
And just let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

Don't waste your breath
Save your tears for somebody who believes
I can't help myself, let alone you
I'm tired of making love to a memory
I give up
I give up
I give

Don't waste your breath
Save your tears for somebody who believes
I can't help myself, let alone you
I'm tired of making love to a memory
I give up
I give up

We're all eyes
And in my personal opinion
If we're not all you were hoping for
When you say my name
Say it like a curse

I saw your face in the magazine saying I can't hear it
All the girls all glittered and glossed
Screaming we can feel you, can you feel me?
We'll die if we're not
In our courts of conscience
Life is lies
Lies are life
But don't lie to me

You're just chasing shadows
Show us some heart and confess your sins
We'll sing with eyes closed
And you can tear us apart but you won't break the skin

Just put on your face and...

I would love nothing more in the world
Than to watch you as you spill your guts.
Unrehearsed you're just a silhouette
You never had a voice so why all the fuss?
You can have the kingdom, you can have the crown,
But you won't have the people.
No, we'll see you down.

You're just chasing shadows
Show us some heart and confess your sins
We'll sing with eyes closed
And you can tear us apart but you won't break the skin

Put on your face
Put on your face
And scream

You're just chasing shadows
Show us some heart and confess your sins
We'll sing with eyes closed
And you can tear us apart but you won't break the skin

Just put on your face
Just put on your face
And scream
And scream

They're all asleep, they'll never know
We'll escape through your window
And they're onto us
But this time is ours
There are reasons for what I did
It wasn't some vile attempt or accomplishment
It was innocent you know

La, ladada, lada, ladada, lada, ladada, lala

Nurse, something for the pain
Something to make this guilt go away
You're forgetting us
You're forgetting everything
And I wanna hate you for my mistakes
I hate you for everything
This is goodbye, this is always

We're covering up our tracks
And living in secrets
We can learn to love life
Or learn to love pain
And if you still hear my voice
Than give me a sign, let me know
You're still here, like it or not

But wait, what do we have here?
Who's that dress for?
Let's keep toasting to innocence
And drown our regret
Let's have no recollection of any of this
Don't wait up for me
I'll be taking swings at a ghost while you're laying down,
Playing dead right in front of me

We're covering up our tracks
And living in secrets
We can learn to love life
Or learn to love pain
And if you still hear my voice
Than give me a sign, let me know
You're still here like it or not
Like it or not

My heartbeat was louder than
The sound of my steps to your door

You're cold but you're beautiful
You're a mess but I like it that way
I'm a fool, but only a fool knows a miracle
And I won't ask for anything
No, I won't ask for anything, ever again
Just give me this one thing, that's all I ask
That's all I ask

Don't wait up for me
Well I'll be taking swings at a ghost while you're laying down
Laying dead right in front of me

We're covering up our tracks
And living in secrets
We can learn to love life
Or learn to love pain
And if you still hear my voice
Than give me a sign, let me know
You're still here like it or not

Girl, what's come between you and me?
Look right through me
I'll let it go
I can't help this feeling anymore
I won't go anywhere
Maybe you'll see me

We are
We are the shaken
We are the monsters
Underneath your bed
Yeah
Believe what you read
We are
We are mistaken
We are the voices
Inside your head
Yeah
Believe what you see

It came as no surprise
You bring me back to life
Believe me
You bleed for me
I'll bleed for you
I caught you walking through walls
Drowned with applause
From the world that makes me crazy

We are
We are the shaken
We are the monsters
Underneath your bed
Yeah
Believe what you read
We are
We are mistaken
We are the voices
Inside your head
Yeah
Believe what you see

We are the monsters
We are the monsters
We are the monsters
Underneath your bed
We are the voices
We are the voices
We are the voices
Underneath your bed
We are the monsters
We are the monsters

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Inside your head
Yeah
Believe what you see

We are
We are the shaken
We are the monsters
Underneath your bed
Yeah

We're too afraid to close our eyes
Afraid that we might drift and lose track of the time
The brilliant lie blanks my blind
Sends ghosts back to their graves and us back to life
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Over and over [x2]
(just say it like you mean it)
[x2]

The best is when you say the worst is over
It's like saying we had luck with a three leaf clover
And you kept saying that over and over
And I still catch you looking over your shoulder
And it's okay, I know the only times you really loved me
Were the times when you weren't sober
And that hurts
We all hurt
We all hurt
And I kept saying that

Over and over [x2]
(just say it like you mean it)
[x2]

For the taste
For the sight
For the sound
For the fight
For the weak
For the strong
For the light
Say it like
You say it like you mean it
For the wait
For the crush
For the fear
For the lush
For the love
For the hate
For the touch
Just say it like
I will wait out for you [x3]

I will wait out
Over and over [x2]
Just say it like you mean it
[x2]

Just say it like you mean it

Love, bring me the head of jealousy
This curse is the poison on her lips
A love as certain as a sinking ship
Unstoppable

This isn't a dream
This is what you are
And I'll take the blame
But that won't heal your scars

Look
Look a little closer now
Shot off
You should have known this wasn't a truce
Did your cheapshot
Turn black and blue

You should have known better
Than to change your mind
Tears won't tame your misery
They're the ones that say
Your heart is just a beat
You're just keeping time

This isn't a game
Who do you think you are
I'll take the blame
But that won't heal your scars

Look
Look a little closer now
Shot off
You should have know this wasn't a truce
Did your cheapshot
Turn black and blue

Look
Look a little closer now
Shot off
You should have know this wasn't a truce
Did your cheapshot

Look
Look a little closer now
Shot off
You should have know this wasn't a truce
Did your cheapshot

You're so unpredictable and I'm so typical
I tried to sell you a heart before you saw through
I will sing a melody until the fluid starts choking me
And when my eyes are paralyzed I'll stare up at you my star
That I can never reach

I'll wait for you if you want me to
I promise you I wont change a thing
I wont be any more or any less
Your secrets safe I'll take it to my...

You're so unpredictable and I'm so typical
I keep tearing away at the skin
To see what's underneath
I will sing a melody until the fluid starts choking me
And when my eyes are paralyzed I'll stare up at you my star.
That I can never reach

I'll wait for you if you want me to
I promise you I wont change a thing
I wont be anymore or any less
Your secrets safe I'll take it to my...grave.

Ohhhhh

I'll wait for you if you want me to
I promise you I wont change a thing
I wont be any more or any less

You found revenge in the bed
And it only cost a name
You make me sick, sick to my stomach
Sick, sick, to my stomach
You keep me in suspense
But you're just shooting blanks
All I hear is bang bang
All we fear is the bang bang

And no, you'll never have to see
You'll never have to see me
Never have to deal with me again
If that's what you want
And that's what you get
No, you'll never have to see
Never have to see me
Never have to deal with me again
You'll never have to deal with me again

Keep me in suspense
And tell me what it meant
The anxious air between you and me
Look me in the eyes
And tell me what it meant
Just before we both go

I never looked back
Cross my heart and hope to die
I did it for love, love
A pretty thing called love, love
I wanna overdose on a kiss
Leaving me lifeless
Will you be my drug, drug?
Yeah, be my drug, drug

And no, you'll never have to see
You'll never have to see me
Never have to deal with me again
If that's what you want
And that's what you get
No, you'll never have to see
You'll never have to see me
Never have to deal with me again
You'll never have to deal with me again

Keep me in suspense
And tell me what it meant
The anxious air between you and me
Look me in the eyes
And tell me what it meant
Just before we both went numb

Keep me in suspense
And tell me what it meant
The anxious air between you and me
Look me in the eyes
And tell me what it meant
Just before we both go numb

Keep me in suspense
Keep me in suspense

What a sight
Never thought I'd find you here
Last I knew you disappeared
We all get lost

I thought I
Had lost you amongst the mess
In the cluttered things in my head
But here you are

When you wake
I'll be a thousand miles away
From the promises I made
And all I love

I'm a dreamer
With nothing left to dream
Trying to tear a hole in the seam
Of reality

Don't ever forget me [x2]
I thought I lost you
Thought I lost you
I thought I lost you

Thought I lost you amongst the mess
And the demons in my head
But here you are

I would leave
To return more lost than before
A little more tired a little less sure
Of where I was

The earth would move but
We would stand in place
Hide in the shadows of the dead
We're almost out of time
Yeah we're almost out of time

Don't ever forget me [x2]
I thought I lost you
Thought I lost you
I thought I lost you

Shallow it seems but I need you here
From me to you, I know I can't feel a thing
Oh, sing me to sleep
I wont fight it when you leave

Oh, I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here, oh.

Desperate it seems but I can't breathe
Are you real?
Are you real?
I can't feel a thing
And this machine won't stop
Be here when I wake
Sing me to sleep
I wont fight it when you leave
Sing me to sleep
I wont fight it…

Oh, I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Is there really a God?
We could really use a miracle right now
My secrets can't confide
They're given away, as soon as I can
And no, I'm really not that scared
I deserve what I get
Even though I'm not prepared
I will conquer this
Protecting you
Protecting your uselessness
And I know you really did try
They're coming for me tonight
Greet them at the door with a smile
Invite them in to take me away
And it's all just a bad dream, a nightmare
You will leave your light on
So that I know you're home
And I've got somewhere, some direction to run to
And I don't care how much this hurts
I'm prepared for the worst
And I've got my friends to back me up
I'm really not scared
I'll get back to you
Is this what you want?
What you wanted to see?
Is my pain not enough for your agony?
We've all got secrets
We can't keep them all
They run, they hide
Leaving me and you behind to find more
This is what they've been waiting for
This is our chance
Come with me
