This Providence Album

You damn yourself with this nonsense
But sure as hell, I still love you
And as long as there's a God in Heaven
I will want you
And as long as hell is still burning hot
I will want you back

I still want you back
I still want you back
I still want you back
I still want you back

I got those lovesick blues
And I feel it more than ever
A sinking in my chest like a ship in the blue
She was a drug I abused
I feel a rising fever
A shaking in my sleep left me broken and bruised

She said, "You're just a letdown
Another one of my mistakes
I never loved you anyway
I never did, and I never will"
She said, "You're just a letdown
All your friends, they feel the same
I never loved you anyway
I never did, and I never will"

I got those lovesick blues
'Cause I sold my soul to the devil
She was well dressed and she knew what to do
I'm painted crimson and blue
She was a ruthless artist
I traded my skin for cheap sex and tattoos

She said, "You're just a letdown
Another one of my mistakes
I never loved you anyway
I never did, and I never will"
She said, "You're just a letdown
All your friends, they feel the same
I never loved you anyway
I never did, and I
Well I never will, I never will"

She sealed my fate with her conniving sugar kissin'
I took the bait, she told me I didn't know what I was missin'
She sealed my fate with her conniving sugar kissin'
I took the bait, she told me I didn't know what I was missin'

She said, "You're just a letdown
Another one of my mistakes
I never loved you anyway
I never did, and I never will"
She said, "You're just a letdown
I finally found the nerve to say
I never loved you anyway
I never did, and I
Well I never will, I never will"

She sealed my fate with her conniving sugar kissin'
I took the bait, she told me I didn't know what I was missin'
She sealed my fate with her conniving sugar kissin'
I took the bait, she told me I didn't know what I was missin'

Oh we could lie beneath the stars
Or watch a thousand passing cars
From the roof of this prison, yeah
Oh we could make this moment ours
And I could hold you, touch your scars
I can't believe that I have you, yeah

I said, you
I waste myself on you
I do anything for you, yeah
I waste myself on you, yeah

Like a feather in a hurricane
That's sweeping through my brain
I can't seem to find hope in this situation, love
Oh so I tremble like an earthquake
Your tears, a heavy rain
They drown my soul in apathy like a flood, love

Singing now, you
I said, you
I waste myself on you
I do anything for you, yeah
I waste myself on you, yeah

You set me on fire
Now we're walking on a wire baby, a wire baby
You set me on fire
Now we're walking on a wire baby, a wire baby

You, I waste myself on you
I do anything for you, yeah
I waste myself on you, yeah

I got a lot of love to give
If you wanna make something sweet
Heaven forbid we should miss a chance to move our feet
Well, my heart beats to the rhythm of your heart
Baby, baby
My heart beats to the rhythm of your heart
Come on

I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't you change yourself
Well, I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't want no one else
Diamonds in the moonlight, dancing on the sea
I would never change anything
Well, I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't you change yourself
Break my heart a thousand times
And I'll come back for more

Tell me honey, what's your drug
For your self-medicating heartache
I'd tell you, all you need is love
But didn't love break you in the first place?
Gossip magazines are making us stupid
And Hollywood pompous dreams are leaving us cold
Come on

I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't you change yourself
Well, I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't want no one else
Diamonds in the moonlight, dancing on the sea
I would never change anything
Well, I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't you change yourself
Break my heart a thousand times
And I'll come back for more

Pull me and push me in 'til I hear you singing
'Cause this is the real thing
Gossip magazines are making us stupid
And Hollywood pompous dreams are leaving us cold
Come on
This is the real thing

I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't you change yourself
Well, I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't want no one else
Diamonds in the moonlight, dancing on the sea
I would never change anything
Well, I will love you just the way you are
Don't, don't you change yourself
Break my heart a thousand times
And I'll come back for more
Hey, break my heart a thousand times
And I'll come back for more

Darling, are you dreaming?
Are you dreaming of me now?
Screaming, are you screaming?
'Cause it's such a nightmare now?

There must be, must be something else waiting for you, oh
There must be, must be something else waiting for you, oh

I can't keep on without you
I can't keep on without you

Leaving, are you leaving when I need you here the most?
I need you more than ever
All I have is your holy ghost, oh

There must be, must be something else waiting for you, oh
There must be, must be something else waiting for you, oh

I can't keep on without you
I can't keep on without you
Oh, without you

You paint my broken heart
Like some awful piece of art
And I watch my world as it falls down, around
But still I pray you will come back some day

I will keep on without you
I will keep on without you
I will keep on without you
Without you

Oh, last night I had the most wonderful dream
I have ever had
We were dancing on the rocks
The waves crashed over us
And swept us out to sea
Oh we were lost but we were happy

It's not an option, baby
I'm not letting go
It's not an option, baby
It's just my imagination
It's not an option, baby
I'm not letting go
It's not an option, baby
It's just a chemical reaction
I'm not letting go

We were feeling happy
Oh, as happy as can be
We bid farewell to fishes
And we climbed the tallest tree
Swimming in the Milky Way
Painting colored skies
I kissed your face all over the place
And looked you in the eyes and I said

It's not an option, baby
I'm not letting go
It's not an option, baby
It's just my imagination
It's not an option, baby
I'm not letting go
It's not an option, baby
It's just a chemical reaction
I'm not letting go
I'm not letting go

All the world fell away last night
Leaving you, only you and fright
I watched you float away out to sea
All the world fell away last night
To the tune of squeaking wheels and white light
But honey, it was just a dream
Believe me

It's not an option, baby
I'm not letting go
It's not an option, baby
It's just my imagination
It's not an option, baby
I'm not letting go
It's not an option, baby
It's just a chemical reaction
Yeah

I've been jumping from the tops of buildings
For the thrill of the fall ignoring sound advice
And any thought of consequence
My bones have shattered
My pride is shattered
And in the midst of this self inflicted pain
I can see my beautiful rescue

I'm falling more in love with every single word I withhold
I'm falling more in love with every single word you say
I'm falling head over heels for you

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings
At the top of my lungs I'm singing you a song
"Don't you leave me alone"
My bones were shattered
My pride lay shattered
Well I'll trample my pride
and tell the whole world dance with me

I'm falling more in love with every single word I'll withhold
I'm falling more in love with every single word you say
I'm falling head over heels for you

Again well I'm crying out,
"wash my hands, these bloody hands, oh open my mouth and I'll sing"

I'm falling more in love with every single word I'll withhold
I'm falling more in love with every single word you say
I'm falling head over heels for you

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings,
With you.

You've got me wrapped around your finger
Wrapped around your finger
Oh I gladly wear this noose around my neck

Well I do not know you, yet
But I do not know you, yet
You don't know my first name
But I, I found you just in time

I can't get her out of my head
And it drives me crazy
"That girl's a trick," my friends said
But she drives me crazy
Honey, this is unkind
You're taking over my mind
This'll be my demise
And I'll take you out for a drive
You're taking over my mind
And it drives me crazy

Oh she is a brown-haired girl in a black and white dress
And I've never been so obsessed
But when it comes to mistakes
Honey, you take the cake

Well I do not know you, yeah
But I do not know you, yeah
And you don't know my baby, honey

I found you just in time to save my life
I found you just in time to save my Friday night

I can't get her out of my head
And it drives me crazy
"That girl's a trick," my friends said
But she drives me crazy
Honey, this is unkind
You're taking over my mind
This'll be my demise
And I'll take you out for a drive
You're taking over my mind
And it drives me crazy

This is how it feels to be the victim of a spell
So beautiful and tragic
Poetic and romantic
This is how it feels to be the victim of a spell
So beautiful and tragic
Poetic and romantic, oh oh oh

I can't get her out of my head
And it drives me crazy
"That girl's a trick," my friends said
But she drives me crazy
Honey, this is unkind
You're taking over my mind
This'll be my demise
And I'll take you out for a drive
You're taking over my mind
And it drives me crazy

Bright lights and butterflies
I take my place tonight
Bright lights and butterflies
We drink to my demise
I've got this selfish grace
A lavish taste for a brightly lit place
Infamous and famous
They are one and the same
So we drink tonight to my impending fame

You might deny it, but you're tied to your desires
And you're selfish
Yeah, you're selfish just like everyone else
So drink up

I found the perfect disguise
Impossible charisma
Charisma
The bright lights are shining in your eyes
Rock 'n' roll, honey
And impossible charisma

I am taken by the nighttime
I'm taken by the moonshine, moonshine
I am taken by the nighttime
I'm taken by the bright lights, bright lights

I am floating away, lost in a space of my own
And I am floating in space, lost in hallucinations
You should have known I was dangerous
When I found the keys on the stairs
And hardly made it through the front door

I was wondering if anyone cared
A pink painted tree house in a weeping willow
This is where I go
Nothing matters, I'm just chasing the wind
Nothing matters, I'm just chasing the wind
If I can't have you, darling

I was just passing your house by
Sorry I didn't ring, do you think I could come in?
I was somewhere taking flight
As high as kite, cut from a string

You should have known I was dangerous
But fate has a way with these things
Like vultures that circle a carcass
Were the demons that wait to feed on my sin
Don't take me home
Don't let me go
'Cause I should not be alone

You're so pretty
Such a must see
Dress yourself in jealousy
A self-appointed gift from above

You would make a killin'
Playing the villain
Well, I hate who you've become
I don't know you anymore
Who are you now?
I don't know
Who are you now?

This ain't gonna last forever
So come on back down my way, baby
This ain't gonna last forever
Nobody should want you
But I want you back

You're so shallow
Got those looks though
Honest face; it sells the show
And you think you're changing the world

You would make a killin'
Playing the villain
Well, I hate who you've become
I don't know you anymore
Who are you now?
I don't know
Who are you now?

This ain't gonna last forever
So come on back down my way, baby
This ain't gonna last forever
Nobody should want you
But I want you
Destiny's an open map
So tell me, baby
Where's your head at?
This ain't gonna last forever
Nobody should want you
Will want you back

Hey, you're pushing me away
Hey, yes you are
Hey, you're pushing me away
Hey, yes you are

This ain't gonna last forever
So come on back down my way, baby
This ain't gonna last forever
Nobody should want you
But I want you
Destiny's an open map
So tell me, baby
Where's your head at?
This ain't gonna last forever
Nobody should want you
Will want you back

Well, I couldn't stand to be in that place
I was just about to leave when I saw your face
You were laughing at me with your beautiful mouth
You said, "You're looking miserable, do you wanna get out?"

When you're only eighteen and you've got nothing to lose
And you're living a dream with the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do

We fell in love with the windows rolled down
Chasing the sunset through another empty town
Your hair was a mess when you would dance on the coast
Your silhouette; like some heavenly ghost

When you're only eighteen and you've got nothing to lose
And you're living a dream with the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do

Summer skies and warm colored sunsets
And a sunrise sneaking through my blinds
My demise, well I just can't help but feel so lost

Falling in love is easy to do
With the wind in your hair and the sand in your shoes
And though it may hurt to have your heart broken in two
That didn't stop me from falling for you

When you're only eighteen and you've got nothing to lose
And you're living a dream with the sand in your shoes
You said falling in love is easy
It's easy to do

Yeah, when you're dancing on the beach where the water meets your feet
And a cool ocean breeze is fighting the heat
Falling in love is easy
It's easy to do
It's easy to do
Oh, I'm falling for you

I need somebody to talk to
But I pushed you away
I need somebody who understands
But it doesn't look like you're coming back

My sins caught up to you
I said, my sins caught up to you
I lost the best love that I've ever known
And it doesn't look like you're coming home

Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
You came through

I hate, hate, hate this place
I said I hate, hate, hate this place
A brightly lit tragedy
Sterile and cold
But I can feel the warmth of your grace
Yeah, I can feel the warmth of your grace

Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
You came through
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
You came through

I believe in miracles
I believe in miracles
I believe in miracles
Yeah, I believe
(I believe in miracles)
I believe
(I believe in miracles)
I believe
(I believe in miracles)

Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
You came through, yeah
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
You came through

Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
Even after all my mistakes
You were true
