Better Off

Maybe I’m not perfect
But I don’t think I deserve this
What’s your problem?
Feeling so rejected
Cuz you left me disrespected
Yeah you got one
I know you don’t feel so bad
Cuz you never looked at me like that
And here I thought that you were so genuine
I don’t wanna lose it
But you make me feel so stupid
And I’m angry
It may be accidental
But you’re getting sentimental
Just to hang me
Baby I’m better off
Jaded than double-crossed
If you walk away everything will be just fine
Help me up, Help me up, baby, I’m fallin’
Help me up, Help me up baby
I don’t wanna waste my time
Maybe I just need to remember
How you threw my heart in a running blender
Do you really think I’d be better off this time?
Maybe I’ll start laughing
When I think about what happened
But I’m hurtin’
You want a revival
But I’m fighting for survival
Not a dead end
I’m not just being defensive
And I won’t come to my senses
You don’t wanna love me you just wanna leave me cryin’
Help me up, Help me up, baby, I’m fallin’
Help me up, Help me up baby
I don't wanna waste my time
Maybe I just need to remember
How you threw my heart in a running blender
Do you really think I’ll be better off this time?
Help me up, Help me up, baby, I’m fallin’
Help me up, Help me up baby
I don't wanna lose my mind
Maybe I just need to remember
How you threw my heart in a running blender
Do you really think I’ll be better off this time?

High Pathetic

Out on every corner
Howlin’ in the street
Livin’ on the weekend
Tryin’ hard to make ends meet
Bet my bottom dollar
Once my ship comes in
You’ll be saying that you knew me when
You can hardly call it livin’
But it’s still my life
One day I’ll be miles away
From trying to get by
Runnin’ ‘round the planet
In my private jet
Destination better days ahead
Flipping through the radio to hear my favorite song
Dancing on the porch with you and drinking all night long
When they call my number, that’s when I’ll blow this town
I’m waiting for my life to turn around
One day I’ll get lucky
Maybe get it right
Maybe I’ll be famous
And I’ll see my name in lights
Till then I’ll be livin’
Like I always do
Hangin’ by a thread
And born to lose
Flipping through the radio to hear my favorite song
Dancing on the porch with you and drinking all night long
When they call my number, that’s when I’ll blow this town
I’m waiting for my life to turn around

End of the World
02:53

Don’t forget where it started
Don’t walk away broken hearted
By now you know sometimes
Life can be hard and a bit unkind
I know you’re feelin’ unnoticed
You’ve been hurt bad and it shows that it’s the
End of the world as you know it
Baby it’ll be alright
Someone’s gonna give you a reason to lose your mind
Maybe you just shouldn’t believe every lie you find
You can be the one to find a better way
To make it through the thick and thin
Just think about the things that are coming tomorrow
Instead of what could have been…
When you start realizing
Sometimes it’s worth compromising
Cuz hope is on the horizon
But it’s gonna get dark for a little while
One day you’re locked and you’re loaded
And then you’re coming up roses it’s the
End of the world as you know it
Baby, it’ll be alright
Don’t forget where we started
Don’t end your life broken hearted
By now you know sometimes
Life can be short and a bit unkind
Don’t believe what they tell you
Cuz things are better than ever
It’s the end of the world as you know it
Baby it’ll be alright (alright)
Baby it’ll be alright (alright)
Baby it’ll be alright (alright)
Baby it’ll be alright….

The Last Car

He picked her up, and she looked so nice
He thought he saw her momma cry
Her daddy said that they better not be late
They went cruisin’ down on Main St.
She moved close on the bench seat
How could they know it was gonna be their last date?
The last car at the drive in
The last stars of the picture show
They were so in love, when it started up
But it soon went cold
The last car at the drive in
She stares ahead while the engine runs
They’re still holding hands like there’s some romance
But he can tell there’s none
It was a story of teenage love
They started steamin’ the windows up
Her face was flushed and he was heavy breathin’
He’s seen it happen a hundred times
He thought he knew what he was gonna find
But when he knocked, he could tell that they weren’t leavin’
The last car at the drive in
He found love in the pale moonlight
Now time is standing still, and it always will
For those two kids tonight
The last car at the drive in
All eyes on a big blank screen
And the radio is still playing low
Just like a movie scene
I wish I could make it better
But I know how the story ends
Baby I don’t wanna be
The last car at the drive in

It's A Shame

Ain’t gone do me wrong
Baby don’t you know
Ain’t gone do me wrong
Baby don’t you know
Better treat me right
Or I’ll be out that door
You said you were my girl
But you been messin’ round
You said you were my girl
But you been messin’ round
Spreading your love
All over town
I know you know what’s coming around
I told you before I won’t say it again
I’ll be alright with my .45
You won’t be alright with him
Ain’t gone do me wrong
Ain’t gone tell no lie
Ain’t gone do me wrong
Ain’t gone tell no lie
You better come back home
So I can say goodnight

I Want Amphetamines

I want amphetamines
I’m tired of being clean
See myself in the mirror
I’m tired of thinking clear
I’m fading out again
I need my Ritalin
And now I’m wide awake
Ridin’ a tidal wave
These walls are closing in
I’m gonna take all my Klonopin
And just when I’m good and numb
I can try find some more Valium
You’re pounding on my brain
Let’s do some more cocaine
We’re tearing up the town
And then I’m coming down
Now I just wanna dance
And take my last Vyvanse
I think I wanna sleep
But now I’m in too deep
I’ve got this Fentanyl
And I’m sittin’ on sleeping pills alright.
Why do I wanna philosophize
When I can tranquilize my life?
I want amphetamines
I’m tired of being clean
See myself in the mirror
I’m tired of thinking clear
I’m coming down again
I need some heroin
Then we’ll start to nod
Out on the Esplanade
We’re gonna get our kicks
Tryin’ to find a way to get another fix alright
I gotta find something to do
Maybe when I’m trippin’ I’ll murder you tonight
Everybody knows this is the end

Best Way
03:14

You only call me when there’s something wrong
Or if you need someone to cheer you on
It ain’t opinion, baby, I’m just statin’ facts.
I tried to tell you that my heart stood still
I’m shooting looks you know I wish would kill
The party’s over, maybe I should just relax.
You’re gonna go and lead your life of sin
Maybe that’s the reason for the state I’m in
Cuz you always know the best way to break my heart.
You’re always giving me the run around
You build me up and then you tear me down
Just tell me baby I just want to understand
I know you wanna make me work for it
And then you’re gonna make me hurt for it
I just wanna hold you, you just want the upper hand
I wanna know what I did so wrong
I already know why I’m hangin’ on
Cuz you always know the best way to break my heart
My friends are telling me you’re leading me on
And that my pride, my pride and dignity’s gone
When I need you, there’s no way that you’ll be there
I know you’re fishing for a compliment
Trust me I’ve already taken the hint
Maybe I don’t see it, maybe I don’t wanna care
Maybe you’ll come around and maybe you won’t
Maybe I wait around and maybe I don’t
Maybe you’ll do what you always do
Maybe I’ll finally get away from you
But you always know the best way to break my heart
Yeah you always know the best way to break my heart
You always know the best way to break my heart
You always know the best way to break my heart.

Too Lonely, Too Long
04:16

Since the day you walked away
I’ve been trying to find a way
To move on, but I think it’s too late
I thought we were meant to be
But you never wanted me
Now I’m left with some bad company
I wish we had never met
Now my life is such a mess
Maybe one day you’ll let me forget
Someday I’ll stop missing you
I tell myself, but it’s not true
I’ll be lonely no matter what I do
They say it gets better but maybe they’re wrong
We were so happy together, but since you’ve been gone
No matter what’s playing, I hear the same sad song
Baby I’ve been too lonely too long
Since the day you walked away
I’ve been trying to find a way
To move on, but I think it’s too late
I thought we were meant to be
But you never wanted me
Now I’m left with some bad company
