Nervous and your tearing at the seams
The lights are too bright and you've got cold feet
You look the part and you're only seventeen
Can you drag me up and show me what we're missing out on

Don't waste your time
We've heard it all before
We've had enough and hangers on and "friends" we didn't want
Don't waste you're time
We've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more

You're a star but you haven't been turned on
Think you can shine this way
This way the whole way to the top
OH oh oh
Are you sure it's what you want?
Call it luck
Call it too much

Don't waste your time
We've heard it all before
We've had enough and hangers on and "friends" we didn't want
Don't waste you're time
We've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more

The truth is a terrible thing
Don't you think?
The truth is a terrible thing
Don't you think?

. . .


Woah woah woah woah woahoah,
Woah woah oh woah woah,
Woah woah woah woah woahoah,
Woah woahoahow.

You’ve been looking at me like you’ve got something to say,
You got flaws in your step you’re miles away from anything,
a-a-a-anyway.
Lets get to the point,
The words that fell from your lips,
Didn’t mean anything; they didn’t mean shit, to you or him.

But tonight, but tonight, we will be alright;
Yes the champagne is on ice for you and I.
And tonight, and tonight,
We will be alright,
Coz we got it all, and all what's left inside,
Let’s just keep on talking.

I smell your scent on my skin and the clothes that I wear,
It’s a thought in my head and I can’t shake it,
Of you and him.
Sh-sh-sh-shake it,
I am at the party too,
I am in the room next to you,
With my back to the door and you was on the floor,
And you look desperate.

But tonight, but tonight, We will be alright;
Yes the champagne is on ice for you and I.
And tonight, and tonight,
We will be alright,
Coz we got it all, and all what's left inside
Let’s just keep on talking.

And don't let me down, and don't let me down,
And don't let me down, and don't let me down,
And don't let me down.

But tonight, but tonight, we will be alright;
Yes the champagne is on ice for you and I.
And tonight, and tonight,
We will be alright,
Coz we got it all, and all what's left inside
Let’s just keep on talking.

Woah woah woah woah woahoah,
Woah woah oh woah woah

. . .


I've got a bad feeling,
That I went and got dirt on your name
And you swear you heard them say,
That is the guy who makes the biggest mistakes oh
He said, she said, that I'm a joke,
The kind of hoax that leaves a lump in your throat
From what I hear I still maintain some class
And if you let me be your first
I swear I'll be your last
And all the rumors that you may have heard
Have left a mark and striped you of your worth

And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know
And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know

You've got a god feeling that
I went and got dirt on your name and
You swear you heard them say,
That giving up will be your biggest mistake
I've got a spot for blondes and green eyes
I am falling faster and it frames no surprise
Shallow is as shallow does
And if you let me have my way
I swear i'll tear you apart
All I've got is what I bare in these arms,
The saddest part is that is not enough

And everybody knows

And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know
And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know

And all I've got is what you don't
Wanna know where I will go
The saddest part is I am not with you

And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know
And I never meant to go
I'm leaving you the only way I know

You're a champ,
Itching for comeback,
But you're an inch, an inch away
You're a champ itching for a comeback so stay

. . .


I guess now is a good time to tell the truth
The pedigree I carry will swallow you
I am not what you are
Foolish in every way
Inside of you
And they're watching you

Sad sad sight before the so so eyes and they're heavy for the weakest of minds
you got the boys the boys oh so fine oh but I know you're wasting your time
Go
Go

You can the ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your wall
You can be the distance in between
You can be everything I need
You'll be the girl I don't call

Oh just imagine what I thought when I opened up that door
There was a million things you want
Oh just imagine what they'll think
When they see me lead you on
And I'll be loosing sleep
No
No

You can the ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your wall
You can be the distance in between
You can be everything I need
You'll be the girl I don't call

It's so wrong
So wrong
It's so wrong

You can be ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your

You can be ghost in my hall
You can be the smile I don't want
I'll be the fly on your wall
You can be the distance in between
You can be everything I need
You'll be the girl I don't call

Jealous minds think alike
You're a dent in time
I'm wasting all my time
You're only gone

. . .


Keep your hands to yourself, these lips belong to someone else
And you know that you, you’ll never get one in
Keep your lies to yourself, every lie I've heard from someone else
And you know that you'll never keep with it

Well I sussed you good, you knew I would
Oh haven’t you heard your just another mark on my shirt
Another night and another girl
Oh I taste so good
You knew I would

So who's keeping score on who is a whore
With you by my side, that look your eye
I hope you know

Go home and wash those jeans, 'cause theres dirt on the knees
Yeah jealously doesn’t sit with me
You love, I love you too, below the waist I’ll start charging you,
'Cause that’s just how the players play the game
And my winning streak, is missing

So who's keeping score on who is a whore
With you by my side, that look your eye
I hope you know

So who's keeping score on who is a whore
With you by my side, that look your eye
I hope you know

You Whore

Too far, save it for the bedroom
Save it for, save it for the bedroom
(Too far, save it for the bedroom, too far save it for the bedroom)
Too far, save it for the bedroom
[x4]

We'll save it for now
Save it for the bedroom
Oh I'll save it for now
Save it for the bedroom

. . .


Those eyes you bought have gone to my head
But they won't take you to my bed
You talk a good game
But girl you've been played
Look at this shade you choose to play
The towns talk keeps me up to date
We will never be the same

This is a war
This is a heart
These are the strings you'll pull
These are the stakes
They have been raised,
It's your call.
Too much has changed,
I hate this place
But I don't want to leave it this way

So lets get it straight,
Without a thought I will take
I'll take it all away.
That's the price you pay for having luck in the first place.
Call it what you want
I've spent too long under your thumb
And now the clouds haves had there say.

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable,
Are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady
I'll play the gent
We will call it time well spent.
But I've been lying and you're gonna hate me for this.

This is the storm,
so let it pour and take over your shores.
Here comes the rain,
I'll have my day it's so sore
Let it be heard
Lessons to learn
And it will never heart like this again.

Take off your colours
Who are you wearing them for?
Tick off your lovers,
All respect was left at the door.
I had front row seats to you on your knees,
It was everything I hoped it be

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable
'Cause you're gonna hate me for this..

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable,
Are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady
I'll play the gent
We will call it time well spent.
But I've been lying and you're gonna hate me for this.

. . .

And your so cool [Woow]

Run around, just running your mouth
Your by the hotel..Whos doing you now?
And your so cold, so cold [x2]

. . .


All those dirty words that you said, did you mean them? Did you now?
You're biting at the hand that feeds you, like a stray for some scraps.
Everybody you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone you once loved has sold you out.

Everyone i know, they faked it from the word go and i need to know why,
That everyone i love has been swimming with the sharks and i don't know why.

Does defeat leave a taste in your mouth? One that you could live without?
Everybody you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone you once loved has sold you out.

So tell me, how does it feel?

. . .


There's something you don't know i've walked you off to keep you on your toes.
There's something you didn't know, i've grown some bones, so i can walk you off.

Tonight, tonight, everythings alright, tonight.

If i were in your shoes i'd run a thousand miles just to tell you.
If i were in your room, using just my eyes i would tell you.

There's something you didn't know you've got your teeth in me and it hurts.
And i'm a lie away from saying what i really think, this is the bottom of the bottle saying swim or sink and you don't even need me now.

Tonight, tonight, everythings alright, tonight.

If i were in your shoes i'd run a thousand miles just to tell you.
If i were in your room, using just my eyes i would tell you

. . .


if it hurts this much,
then it much be love,
and its a lottery,
i can't wait to draw your name.
oh i'm trying to get to you,
but time isn't on my side,
the truths the worst i could do,
and i guess that i have lied.

keeping me awake,
it's been like this now for days,
my heart is out at sea,
my head all over the place,
i'm loosing sence of time,
and everything tastes the same,
i'll be home in a day,
i fear thats a month to late.

that night i slept,
on your side of the bed so,
it was ready when you got home,
we're like noughts and crosses in that
opposites always attract.

you've taken me to the top,
and let me fall back south
you've had me at the top of the pile,
and then had me kissing the ground
we've heard and seen it all,
no ones talked us out,
the problems that have come
haven't yet torn us down.

Am I keeping you awake, if i am then just say,
you can make your own decisions; you can make your own mistakes,
i'll live and let die all the promises you made,
but if you lie another time, it'll be a lie thats to late.

You always have your way,
for now it to soon for you to say,
we will be always always.

. . .


You should've seen me last night, working the room had their chests going tight, I got a
theory, all I need is one drink
I've got you breathing all heavy and deep, gasping for air and down on your knees, you're
in love, but for only as long as you're wanted

You never miss a beat, but

You're the best kept secret, rolling off my tongue, some say you're as easy as they come
and i say, what a way for the ice to break

Break down, you've always been so proud and just look at you now
You're a bad smell in this room
"I don;t wanna, I don't wanna be bad news"
But you are, but you are

I would walk through hell with a smile on my face
Just so i could make my mark on the hottest place.

. . .


Well I am the cancer running through your veins
I am the sweat dripping down the side of your face
I am the pain in the back of your legs,
it makes you fall to you knees it makes you believe
And I am the headline, that’s going to make front page news
I am that fashion you’re all into.
We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you
I am the rumour on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we’ll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.
I am that feeling, that you’ve done something wrong.
I am that friend, who knew all along.
We say we have our best friends yet we stab them in the back.
We try to show some love and, it’s a skill that we lack.
Ive had it with this crowd and I am done with this town.
Ive had enough of these shows, its over with you now.

Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands up as if you care

Oh hold on

Josh
Behind your back they talk about you all the time
Behind your back they spread some shit and some lies

. . .


You're so good
and you're so bad
and everybody wants to be your man.
Your so good and your so bad
and everybody wants to be
in your hair
and under your skin
and in those clothes
and on those lips.
But me.

Kiss and Tell
everybody else
and you're at your best
when I'm making
making baby steps.

You make the rules up as you go
So I've gotta make some of my own
You make the rules up as you go
so I'm gonna send your love home.

What did you expect from me?
I said there's so much more that you won't see.
What did you expect from me?
I said I'm smarter than
Him you see.

Kiss and Tell
everybody else
and you're at your best
when I'm making
baby steps
and I'm sick and tired
of bein' the good guy.
And I've done my time
you should
hit the back of the line.

I know you don't need to tell me
I know you don't need to tell me
I know you don't need to tell me
I know you don't need to tell me
I know you don't need to tell me
I know you don't need to tell me

I know you don't
I know you don't

Need to tell me
tell me.

Kiss and Tell
Everybody else
and you're at your best
when I'm making
baby steps
and I'm sick and tired
of bein' the good guy.
And I've done my time
you should
hit the back of the line.

. . .


You've got a nerve
Giving me the cold shoulder
Giving me the twice over
And it's not deserved.

We'll talk
Again when you're sober
You say that I've gone cold
And all heat is gone.

I wanne be your eyes
So you that can see what you've done
I wanna be your ears
So that you can hear, everything that's been missing.

Finders keepers!
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets,
Cos they keep me in line.
Old habbits die hard
But I'm too young to die!

I guess it's a mess
That you make your bed
Then why are we
Still laying in it?

I can barely sleep,
I can barely eat,
And it's been three whole weeks
Since I heard you speak!

Oh, sober today.
Paying months of bills
To break!
Oh, I love mistakes,
Especially ones you've made
(I'll bet you're sorry)

Finders keepers!
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets,
Cos they keep me in line.
Old habbits die hard
But I'm too young to die!
NO!
Finders keepers!
The whole thing is a lie!
You won't find her!
Cos she's too hard to find!
Take my advise,
And only run a mile!

And have another drink,
And then think,
This one over!
And dig yourself a grave,
Everyday,
That you're sober!

DO YOU SEE?!
WHAT I MEAN!
HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST,
THAT YOU'RE ALL OVER,
ME!
I can never be what you,
Need...

Finders keepers!
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets,
Cos they keep me in line.
Old habbits die hard
But I'm too young to die!

Finders keepers!
The whole thing is a lie!
You won't find her!
Cos she's too hard to find!
Take my advise,
And only run a mile!

And I bet you guessed me right!
(Guessed me, bet you guessed me right!)
I bet you guessed me right!

. . .


Save your breath
and i'll talk instead
and you'll just drop dead and stay away from me

you've got me wrapped around your fingers
but i've got you figured out
and i'm down but not out

she said love is, love is for the blind
and you gave yours without your eyes
so why, this much shite?

[chorus]
i hate to say i told you so
you're never gonna let this go
with every little look she gave
and every move she made
she's got you on the tip of your toes

catch your breath
i know you're upset
but i am resiliant
to end this test

i got you down to a silence
and i've got evidence
that you're down and you're out

she said love is, love is for the blind
and you gave yours without your eyes
so why, this much shite?

[chorus]
i hate to say i told you so
you're never gonna let this go
with every little look she gave
and every move she made
she's got you on the tip of your toes

you know, this is how it goes
nothing lasts forever
and how it shows you on the ropes
you feel so low, just know i am with you

hate to say i told you so
i'm never gonna let this go
with every little look i give
and every move i make

[chorus]
i hate to say i told you so
you're never gonna let this go
with every little look she gave
and every move she made
she's got you on the tip of your toes

(oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa)
on the tip of your toes
(oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa)
(oh oh oh oh oh whoa)
(oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa)
(oh oh oh oh oh whoa)

. . .


If this is the end
and these white coats and this medicine
is my new comfort zone
and my new best friend.

shall we cue the violins
cos' this life is made of violence
sixteen, he's already on his way
next victim the clouds and the pearly gates

when the room goes quiet
nobody knows
and its all your fault
and its all your fault

wish that i was younger
wish that i was smart enough
to keep my composure
keep my head straight

oh you can be my headache
and i'll make your name famous
you say.
showing you just how cool he is
the powders could be the catalyst

when the room goes quiet
nobody knows what to say
and the room goes quiet
and they don't (and its all your fault)
and its all your fault

When the room goes quiet
nobody knows what to say
this is the part when we say what a shame
this is the part where we shoulder all the blame

my friends owe it to themselves
to get a grip and cherish their good health
don't want the room to go quiet
and have to think of things to say

when the room goes quiet (goes quiet)
and the room goes
and its all your fault
and its all your fault

. . .


This is the calm before the storm,
Pretty words through your bedroom door.
And everybody knows that,
It is a place to store.

Why say something safe,
When i can blow you away.
It's a game only lights play,
Some swing the perfume away.

So take off
All of your clothes.
Through the shame of taking names,
My heart is in the home.

So take off
All of your clothes.
Through the shame of taking names,
My heart is in the home.

This is a stab in the back,
That I have been waiting for,
You've had me running in circles,
Listen to more of the cause.

And it isn't a secret,
If you can't keep it.
So i disguise the night,
Cut you down, down to size.

So take off
All of your clothes.
Through the shame of taking names,
My heart is in the home.

So take off
All of your clothes.
Through the shame of taking names,
My heart is in the home.

Cowards are golden,
And i know the water.
Bones we can fix,
The lessons we'll learn.

Cowards are golden,
And i know the water.
Bones we can fix,
The lessons we'll learn.

Cowards are golden,
Cowards are golden,
Cowards are golden,
Cowards are golden,

Cowards are golden,
And i know the water.
Bones we can fix,
The lessons we'll learn.

Cowards are golden,
And i know the water.
Bones we can fix,
The lessons we'll learn.

You mean more.
You mean more.
You mean more.
You mean more
