You really ought to think about it 'Fore you leave me Before you walk out that door Hang your clothes in the closet You're forgetting one thing I'm the one who saved you From a long lonely life I'm the one who gave you

Give me somethin' to ride to And forget about life to The kind you wanna get high to Lay back in the night to Yeah used to be dance songs Slow jams and romance songs But now that she's gone and the radio's on Yeah I just want one that don't sing about

Oh I'm alive And this time I won't forget I'm taking my first breath And the tears begin to swell Tears I dare not fight 'Cause now I'm alive Now I'm alive Oh, I will try But I tell you it ain't easy using only words

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

Thought I'd been touched Thought I'd been kissed Thought I'd been loved But it was nothing, nothing like this There's nothing in my life I'd say I regret But there's something in your eyes that makes me forget The times that I believed that love was good

And it's my whole heart I'm on trial, waiting 'til the beat comes out I'm not beat up by this yet You can't tell me to regret Been in the dark since the day we met Fire, help me to forget It's a pity, oh Waiting 'til the beat comes out

Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes But do not ask the price I pay I must live with my quiet rage Tame the ghosts in my head That run wild and wish me dead Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord forget all of my sins And let me die where I lie I

Why does love got to be so sad? Got to find me a way To take me back to yesterday. How can I ever hope to forget you? Won't you show me a place Where I can hide my lonely face? I know you're going to break my heart if I let you. Like a moth to a flame,

To burn it like cedar I request another dream I need a forest fire (Another shade, another shadow) I'm saved by nature But it always forgets what I need I hope you'll stop me before I build a wall around me We need a forest fire You're thicker than you

Forget what your father says I'm throwing stones at your windowpane 'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you Got no degrees and a lot to prove Says that you're wrong for me You're confused about me All the rumours getting through Is it a bad time to tell
