If this world were mine I'd give you anything If this world were mine, I'd place at your feet All that I own, you've been so good to me I'd give you the flowers, the birds and the bees For with your love inside me, that would be all I need If this world

The blue lights were shinin' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you Going wild child To be worried about going to jail You were thinking that Running for it Would make a good story I was thinking you were crazy as hell

I told ya I was troubled You know that I'm no good You had to be a nasty girl and try to play me I could forgive the past, but I never forget it I cheated myself Like I knew I would

Shouldn't I be with you Pretending I don't care When you know as well as I Or just a second wind For the good old song that we use to call pretending What would you have me do Just turn and walk out on you And leave you standing there That would be

In the next life This time forever There'll be no more goodbyes 'Cause you left me helpless on the other side I'll find you there in the next life The sun is set, the rain has passed Who knew tomorrow wouldn't last I wear the cross that bares your name

I told ya I was troubled You know that I'm no good You had to be a nasty girl and try to play me I could forgive the past, but I never forget it I cheated myself Like I knew I would

Dear Sobriety Please come back to me I left you high and dry I'm doomed for good this time I swore I wouldn't be I need you desperately Oh but I'm making a fool of me My hands are shaking But I can still pour the mistake that I'm making

I'm gonna love ya Like no one could Make your heart feel the way it should I'm gonna hold ya When no one would 'Cause I swear you deserve some good Living up in California Loving life that I've been waiting for ya

For the longest time For the longest That hasn't happened for the longest time I haven't been there for the longest time And it's more than I hoped for If you said goodbye to me tonight There would still be music left to write What else could I do

I told ya I was troubled You know that I'm no good You had to be a nasty girl and try to play me I could forgive the past, but I never forget it I cheated myself Like I knew I would
