Fight And Never Forgive

If you drag me away now

I’ll fight and never forgive you

I won’t forget how

I told you how home I felt here

How little you cared

How stupid you thought I was

 

How am I sposed to learn what’s wrong

For me, for me

How am I sposed to be something

That I can’t even decide

How am I sposed to grow, stand on my own

When you won’t let me try

 

If you make me sit on my hands

I will never sit still

I will never understand

I’ll tell you how at home I felt there

How little it seems like you care

How stupid I know you think I am

 

How am I sposed to learn what’s wrong

For me, for me

How am I sposed to be something

That I can’t even decide

How am I sposed to grow, stand on my own

When you won’t let me try

 

If I got away tonight

I would start the car

Pick a place to run and hide

Sleep under the stars

Dreaming of how I let you down

And how I’ll go so far

 

How am I sposed to learn what’s wrong

For me, for me

How am I sposed to be something

That I can’t even decide

How am I sposed to grow, stand on my own

When you won’t let me try

If It Ain’t You

So I hear there’s a little shame in loving

Something you can’t have for keeps

And I wonder why that is

Cause you can’t hold on to the wind the same

Should you hide from the way it is

 

I want nothing to do with

Anything if it ain’t you

I thought you might wanna know

I thought you might wanna know

I thought you might wanna notice

 

So I hear you’ve been sleeping the same bed

And you’ve been crying alone

And I wonder why that is

Cause you can’t go on that way forever

Should you hide from the way you are

 

I want nothing to do with

Anything if it ain’t you

I thought you might wanna know

I thought you might wanna know

I thought you might wanna notice

Me, me, me

On my knees, yeah

Do you wanna know, now?

Well, do you wanna know now

What I think of you, of you of you

I think of you, oh

Do you wanna know, now?

 

I want nothing to do with

Anything if it ain’t you

I thought you might wanna know

I thought you might wanna know

I thought you might wanna notice

The Center

You wanted to know what it felt like, the center

To be what everyone wants

But nobody wants you just as you are,

So you compromise and do yourself over

 

I’d like to be swallowed by greed and pretention

Then I’ll really belong

Stuffed with the knowledge of only each other

We’re right when we get it wrong

 

I fell down a mountain, into myself

And I don’t know where I am now

I felt so high but it was merely illusion

It looks like I’m buried underground

 

You wanted to know what it felt like, the center

To be what everyone wants

But nobody wants you just as you are,

So you compromise and do yourself over

 

I’d like to be swallowed by greed and pretention

Then I’ll really belong

Stuffed with the knowledge of only each other

We’re right when we get it wrong

 

In their sights, absolution

To find what really should matter

Nothing’s the same when you’re bleeding for nothing

It’s lonely when you’re not yourself

 

You wanted to know what it felt like, the center

To be what everyone wants

But nobody wants you just as you are,

So you compromise and do yourself over

 

I’d like to be swallowed by greed and pretention

Then I’ll really belong

Stuffed with the knowledge of only each other

We’re right when we get it wrong
