Don't Disappear on Me

Tell me what you're thinkin 'bout this time around girl
I'm a little too dense to pick up on all your subtle words
Just give it to me straight. Say it to me plain. I don't wanna puzzle over
I can understand that it's a little difficult to face
There's hours in between, giving me too much time to think
But ooo baby, don't you go and disappear on me
ooo baby, don't you go and disappear on me
There would be a couple years go differently if I could repeat them
All there is to do now is learn from those mistakes
All my dues are paid. I don't wanna wait any longer
Just a taste's enough to keep me wanting more
After drinking so deep, a spoonful is too weak
But ooo baby, don't you go and disappear on me
ooo baby, don't you go and disappear on me
Is there something I could say to make you stay, a gesture to convince you?
It's not every day I really care who sticks around
Normally my way, a bit ashamed to say, is not to have any anchor
But something about you has got me coming back for more
There's hours in between, giving me too much time to think
But ooo baby, don't you go and disappear on me
ooo baby, don't you go and disappear on me

Better Off Alone

There's a way you've found, a way to feel completed
And to forget the ones who let you down
There's a spot 'cross town, a place where you feel needed
And when you walk in every head turns 'round
I don't mean to be the one to bring bad news
But how long will it take before you get a clue?
You're better off alone
You're better off alone
There's an hour at night, I feel most defeated
I get nostalgic as I lie in bed
Think of where I've been, and what's not yet created
And panic over gray hairs on my head
Is it any wonder? You stay younger while I get old
But I've never been one to live how I was told
I'm better off alone, better off alone
I'm better off alone, better off alone
Gonna stop sometime, acting like I'm twenty
Iron my shirt and fall in line
Let go, stop trying, and make a little money
And feel better with each dream left behind
And when it's over will I still feel this regret?
So I can't jeopardize all that may happen yet
I'm better off alone, better off alone
I'm better off alone, better off alone

Never Feel Bad Again

I know where you've been
These days it's too easy to follow
A competition
Of who broadcasts the happier life
Even back when I was twenty
I thought I'd figure out a plan
Though it was never easy, still sometimes life teases that I'll
Never feel bad again
My dad always smiled
No matter the world around him
Since I was a child
He gave me whatever was his
And his food still fills up my belly
His face still maintains the same grin
So I promise I'll keep it, if you tell me your secret so I'll
Never feel bad again
It's been a while
Since I've felt the pull of your hand
A wink and a smile
And I'm right back where I began
So don't come around here past midnight
Cuz I'm afraid I'd let you in
You'd lie down beside me
And try to convince me that we'd
Never feel bad again
Oh we'd never feel bad again

The Worst Parts

Every step leaves an impression
Every injury its mark
After you have faced the worst aggression
There's something lurking in the dark
But I won't let it fester
I'll face the monsters in my worst parts
Every tree has a system
Underneath the surface fruit
Just like all your cruelty has a reason
All your insults have their root
Every hurtful thing you say to another
Someone first said to you
All the damage you inflict on your brother
Only language that you knew
Generations pass and, old traditions somehow
Masquerade as truth
When will you deal with what's been done to you?
I tried my best to explain it
But I'm not sure I'm getting through
If you understood what I was saying
You would change the wrong you do
Just like every test yields information
Evidence will point to truth
Girl you need a reasoned explanation
Your emotions lie to you
Generations pass and, old traditions somehow
Masquerade as truth
When will you deal with what's been done to you?
Generations pass and, old traditions somehow
Masquerade as truth
When will you deal with what's been done to you?
