Dear Diary 03:23
lyrics

Dear Diary, you know that I can’t sit still oh Long enough to ever get this entry filled What if I was sick of myself? Would you nurse me back to health? ‘Cause I’ve got a case of “fumbling along” and “what am I doing here”? I know you’ve seen it too, so tell me what should I do? It’s about time for something new Dear Diary, I think my brain needs to vacate I’m thinking somewhere warm, to maybe find someone to relate What if I was sick of myself? Would you nurse me back to health? ‘Cause I’ve got a case of “fumbling along” and “what am I doing here”? I know you’ve seen it too, so tell me what should I do? It’s about time for something new You know I was thinking of him, such a sweet sweet thought Like wanting dessert and then thinking that you better not He’s the kind that is so hard to find, giving me such peace of mind Yeah the very best kind Dear Diary, disregard my last entry Turns out my cure was that I needed something sweet ‘Cause I was just sick of myself And you nursed me back to health ‘Cause I had a case of “fumbling along” and “what am I doing here”? I knew you’d seen it too, you told me what I should do And now it’s on to something new

New Canvas 03:21

Did he hold you really close? Did he whisper sweet nothings in your ear? But as my own mother said, you can’t only love what you know since then I’ve been out and finding more When I say, it’s okay I really mean it I say If I was right from the start and If life is an art It’s time for a new canvas We used to always have this saying that you reap what you sow, but only more When the tide has finally turned, look at what the waves will dig up where footprints used to stand not long ago When I say, it’s okay I really mean it I say If I was right from the start and If life is an art It’s time for a new canvas Its so hard to let go When it is all that you know but we’re only alive when we paint from the inside That’s why I say, it’s okay and I really mean it I say… I really mean I really mean it When I say, it’s okay I really mean it I say I was right from the start and your life is an art and now right from the start your life is an art

Once you get yourself set right up in heaven won’t you let me in on the fun Cause every time that you are mentioned I can’t help it, I’m on the run Now I’m feeling really close ya I’m feeling really close to you… to you… to you Once you get yourself set right up in heaven won’t you let me know what its like cause lately I’ve been getting defensive when its mentioned only that you might Now I’m feeling really close ya I’m feeling really close to you And oh now your near And I can’t help but hear you go away go away Oh and my feelings hurt Got my pinky’s in the dirt Saw you go away go away Saw you go away go away Na na na na na na na na Feeling really close Feeling really close to you And oh now your near And I can’t help but hear you go away go away Oh and my feelings hurt Got my pinky’s in the dirt Saw you go away go away go away go away Na na na na na na na na

The Story 03:42
lyrics

These folds of skin around my eyes only crinkle when I cry Somehow you bring me back down to size, even though the words you feed me are always lies Tell me something tell me something, What if I don’t like the taste tell me something was all this time a waste When a book comes to the end you don’t sit back and pretend you’ve never read it before You still remember the story like how you used to adore me, watch me walk right out that door Ive always loved tragedy, until I saw it happen to me See the dust on my shoes, its been a long time since I last saw the sun shine Tell me something tell me something, What if I don’t like this tale tell me how to set this sail When a book comes to the end you don’t sit back and pretend you’ve never read it before You still remember the story like how you used to adore me, watch me walk right out that door Let me go Tell me something that’s not fair Tell me something that’s not fair Tell me something that’s not fair This book has come to the end so don’t sit back and pretend you’ve never read it before You’ll always remember the story like how you used to adore me, now watch me walk right out that door

Keeping Score 04:12
lyrics

The weight of the world has been sitting on the top of my shoulders since about 21 that was the last time I saw your pretty face And now your standing right here in this place Where were you? I wanna know Where have you been been keeping score where were you? And how have you been? I want you to know, I‛ve been keeping score Where were you, cause I‛ve been keeping score … score Its been a long time wouldn’t you agree I‛m not used to having someone compete with me But rules are rules and I don’t want to play that game I‛m not that girl anymore, but you haven’t seemed to change You play and play your games, she’s playing and playing But where were you? I wanna know Where have you been been keeping score And where were you? how have you been? I want you to know, I‛ve been keeping score Winning is everything It’s a high school feeling Winning is everything Do you get what I mean I’ll admit it was nice to catch up again I really wondered where you went every now and then But I‛m not into burdens anymore That’s part of the game when you are keeping score So where are you? I just want to thank you For carrying the weight cause I can’t bear to Now where are you? Where did you go? I want you to know I‛m not keeping score I want you to know I‛m not keeping score I want you to know that I‛m not keeping score…. Anymore

Without Me 04:16
lyrics
buy track
I’ve seen enough, enough of your face to know it all and not be amazed This empire I am building, the boss of it is me it only goes as far as I can see He wants to be solitary, and see what is left when there are no promises that have to be kept He just wants to be alone and try to be here without me Without me, without me without me, without me And I have drowned here long enough to know where, where the waters rough And instead of a lifeboat, you’re swimming next to me There is no bottom as far as I can see He wants to be solitary, and see what is left when there are no promises that have to be kept He just wants to be alone and try to be here without me So be solitary and see what is there when there are no promises left anywhere You’ll just want to be alone and always be here without me Without me, without me without me, without me One day you’ll find inside its all alright when you lose the courage and do it anyways And then you find inside its all alright to pick up the pieces and throw them all away And be …without me
