She's back in love again
She says it isn't just pretend
Has she met her match this time?
She is out of her mind
She's back on drugs again
The highest she has ever been
Has she gone too far this time?
She is out of her mind
Don't be so blasé, you don't know
All she has been through
The pressure of the easy life
Could get the best of you, too
She's back on top again
That movie showed a little skin
Never doing what she's told
She is out of control
Don't be so blasé, you don't know
All she has been through
The pressure of the easy life
Could get the best of you, too
She's back on top again
That movie showed a little skin
Never doing what she's told
She is out of control
She is out of her mind
She is out of control
She is out of her mind
She is out of control
She is out of her mind
She is out of control
She is out of her mind
She is out of control
She is out of her mind

One time for certain, and twice for unsure
Three times for peace sign, please show me the door
You cry release me but I cannot endure
Eternity ’til you return
You say connection, well I guess I agree
But this new direction is perplexing to me
Just move along now, there's nothing to see
But a guy with a tear in his eye
‘Cause man was not fashioned of steel or stone
And man cannot live on love letters alone
And each lonesome moment I fear that we’re growing apart
A man a woman are like a hand and a glove
But this kind of distance ain't no kind of love
It feels like the hatchet is hanging above my heart
Excuses, I've heard them all before
I don't want to miss you anymore
One drink you love me, and two not as such
Three drinks I long for your feminine touch
Methinks the lady doth wander too much
Please return without further delay
Is this good fortune, or only a ruse?
Best to have loved you, now only to lose?
I once was enlightened, now I'm so confused
Tell me when will I see you again?
‘Cause man was not fashioned of steel or stone
And man cannot live on love letters alone
And each lonesome moment I fear that we’re growing apart
A man a woman are like a hand and a glove
But this kind of distance ain't no kind of love
It feels like the hatchet is hanging above my heart
Excuses, I've heard them all before
I don't want to miss you anymore

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
I had to open my mouth, and now I'm locked in mortal combat
With some sociopathic burnout junkie
So now we're gonna find out the facts of the case
I think you've spoken enough, I shall retire to my chamber
I must sharpen the axe and put a different hat on
So what's left to lose?
Where is the downside?
I had a chance to start anew
Now I'm drowning in bitterness
I say I love you and I mean it, but just as a friend
You call it cruelty, but truly I’m just being diplomatic
There's no way on earth that I could go back with you now

Harsh Realities

The situation takes a turn for worse
And something suddenly becomes fucked up
I wanted to believe, but I cannot deny
That's why I made my peace with the harsh realities
I'm well aware of what you do down there
You're fooling nobody except yourself
You say you do believe, but you cannot deny
You’ll have to make your peace with the harsh realities
It seems so recently we were igniting our first little peace pipe
Painting the alleys of Upper Queen Anne
One step ahead of the man
I had a feeling this would end with tears
A creeping poison deep inside my guts
There's nothing to believe, now I cannot deny
You're not the one for me, that's the harsh reality
It seems so recently we were igniting our first little peace pipe
Painting the alleys of Upper Queen Anne
One step ahead of the man
I had a feeling this would end with tears
A creeping poison deep inside my guts
There's nothing to believe, now I cannot deny
You're not the one for me, that's the harsh reality

So Real

You were shining shore for me
As I was boldly going through the motions
Many dudes have moved before
I am just a fool for you
A soldier in your army
So discard me as you please
Useless to resist you
My will is overcome
I want you real, real, real bad
Obstacles surmountable
When seen in softer focus
We are part of something greater than ourselves
In the midst of present tense
The plan becomes expansive
We see no limitations
Time, our sole possession
But we spent it all today
You keep it so, so, so real
Is the worst behind us now?
We measure by our losses
I believe we've never been so close before
I will take the fall for you
So let the lawman find me
This is not a work of fiction
I know how you’ve deceived me
And you may cut me down
You make it so, so, so hard to love you
It is so, so, so hard to love you
It is so, so, so hard to love you

Before I Look

Can you whistle? It's pretty simple
Put your lips together and blow
If you and I were alone then I would show you
Whoa oh oh oh
I still remember how you lit the tinder
When my heart was a hundred below
You’ve got the energy to keep the ember glowing
Whoa oh oh oh oh
If I made a mistake, I would make it again
I wrote the book on heartbreak
You make me want to leap before I look
Can you whisper just a little secret?
Put your lips right next to my ear
Or save it for later so that no one overhears you
Whoa oh oh oh
You tried to say it but you hesitated
And you could not swallow the tears
Hush baby, I'm elated just to be near you
Whoa oh oh oh oh
If I made a mistake, I would make it again
I wrote the book on heartbreak
You make me want to leap before I -
Lookout below, there is a powerful force
And it is drawing us together
You can lock up your heart inside a faraway fortress
But you can't hold out forever
Can you answer just a little question
Did I misinterpret the sign?
I had a feeling it was just a matter of timing
Whoa oh oh oh
I want to see it from a new perspective
But I just crossed over the line
Help baby, I am lost and I need you to find me
Whoa oh oh oh oh
If I made a mistake, I would make it again
I wrote the book on heartbreak
You make me want to leap before I look
