I'm not gonna' do this again Not gonna' go out on a limb This has happened before Now I can see the signs I think I'm going to be through With trying to read into you This has knocked me off course It's knocked me out of line I'd like to think I'd recognize Something good, even in disguise So please forgive my fears I tend to think to much But I've been hurt, I've been pushed around Sometimes it's hard to get off the ground So please be patient I don't wanna' fuck it up And I don't wanna' fall to far Fear it's too late Don't wanna' fall to hard I fear I'll break Don't don't wanna' go too fast I've put it all at stake So I don't wanna' fall to hard Fear it's too late It's too late Do you think we'll make it? (Do you think that we'll make it? Please tell me now.) Please tell me now, I must know Get used to disappointment I'll just go, I'll just go (Or I'll just go. I don't think that you know. I'll just go.)

Just wait and see You'll get what's coming to you And just like Porkins I'll stay on target, it's true I'm a mess right now, it's true I'm a mess, yeah just like you I'm a mess right now, yeah We'll go back and forth See who gets in the last word today And I know you'll win This one again anyway I'm a wreck right now it's true I'm a wreck, yeah just like you I'm a wreck right now, yeah I'm a wreck like you, and I'm blaming you now I'm a mees like you, and I'm blaming you now I'm a mess like you

Pretty Boys 02:19
Hey pretty boys, preceded by all the hype We're all way too familiar with your type Sometimes I want what you've got Sometimes I wanna' get it my own way Sometimes I want what you've got Sometimes I've gotta' get it my own way Hey pretty boys Are you as good as they say you are? With daddy's money I guess you'll go real far I won't buy it You can't tell me what to like Someday I'll be there, too Hey pretty boys I heard that you're here to save us all

I don't like this anymore than you I'm not saying I can't be alone Can you? I'll be honest with you right here and now I'm not shedding unnecessary tears This time around We've done this before, we've done this before The third time's a charm Isn't that what they say? We've done this before, we've done this before And with each time it slightly dulled the pain Things were great in the beginning Yeah, I'll give you that But you can't rewind a relationship You can't go back It's so easy to be optimistic about a sugar-coated memory Now I've got to break two long year's worth Of habit and instinct We've done this before, we've done this before The third time's a charm Isn't that what they say? We've done this before, we've done this before The revolving door a thing of yesterday Sometimes I miss you Right now I miss you I don't you don't hate me now I don't like this anymore than you But this extends far beyond control There's nothing we could do We've done this before, we've done this before The third time's a charm Isn't that what they say? We've done this before, we've done this before There's nothing charming about any of this

Get out of bed at two a.m. Walk down Nobody's around And nobody's watching Nobody's watching you And your shoes, they finally fit And you said your feet were always too big And now other little girls are doing just what you did Nobody's watching "Anything's possible" You said You and Jane, so beautiful that day Two days and two nights afterward You alone stood where only you belonged Yeah you heard all the applause in the world

Today's the day I've been dreading The official exchanging Of all the things that we had left at each other's places I went over to his apartment Where we traded back odd and ends While trying desperately not to look into each other's faces Because the babies, the cars And the house with the yard And the picket fence The two-point-five fantasy The Mr. and Mrs. Familiar kisses I have let all this slip away from me We sat on the floor in his living room With no furniture because he was moving to a new place Because this one reminds him of me And we made small talk for a little while Then shit got heavy, and I started to cry As he revealed things I sat there immobile, I couldn't speak Because the babies, the cars And the house with the yard And something old and new Something borrowed and blue The Mr. and Mrs. Familiar kisses Sunsets on the front steps at age eighty two Oh what the hell am I to do? He told me that he would have Asked me to be his wife On an Alaskan cruise we were to have taken On next Valentine's Day And now the babies, the cars And the house with the yard And the picket fence The two-point-five fantasy The Mr. and Mrs. Familiar kisses I have let all this slip away from me Oh what the hell is wrong with me?

Betty Page 03:38
Oooh, Betty Page Oooh, what a babe Bet she never longed for another size Oooh, look at Ginny She got so skinny I bet her secret's behind those glossy eyes I never knew 'til now Look in the mirror Foggier, clearer It doesn't matter, it's all the same Stable or changing Constant arranging In my head I'm fatter Your pages are to blame I never knew 'til now Oooh, you're a Betty

You can say just what you want to about me I have come to learn a few things Like how you can't make everybody like you No matter how hard you try And we will forever be (we will always be) Running in all of these (running) Stupid little circles We will forever be (we will always be) Running in all of these (running) Small circles, small circles I will shout at the top of my lungs "I am not a horrible person" But there is always some bastard standing by To question all of your moves
9.
It's strange how I love you but can't seem to carry on In the same old fashoin It's a rational cause I love you still And I'm sorry, so sorry That I wasn't willing to change The moment I realized that it came time to be through I didn't see it coming But I guess we never do I hate myself And I'm sorry I couldn't be someone else Just for you And now I can't even listen to the music that we liked And I don't think I'll be able to do that for while And you're playing that song tonight You're playing that song
10.
I'm sure you've heard that I've been going out I know your friends have been telling you all about The places they've seen me I'm sure yo've heard that I've been going out And I know that it may seem Slightly prematurely But we have different ways of dealing with things I'm sure you've heard who I've been hanging out with I know your friends have been telling you all about The places they've seen us I'm sure you've heard who I've been hanging out with But these days, my free time is spent Trying to make new friends 'Cause when we broke up friendships came to an end You ask why I don't call And yo've got no clue at all Well I can't tell you everything you wanna' hear But you wanna' hear things from me But it's a difficult thing When you ask me to confirm your worst fears
11.
Don't Think 02:26
Don't think for a minute That I wasn't ever fully in it You know I, I was in it from the start I handed you a platter and on it was my heart Don't think up new reasons For why I ended up leaving You know I'm sometimes fucked up inside my head Sometimes I get to thinking that I'd be better off dead I don't know if you could ever see my point of view I've got things I need to work on Maybe you should too Don't think for a minute That I'm having fun and always living it up Sometime like you I'm in a haze If you knew how much I've been drinking You might be amazed
12.
Gray 03:37
Right now your favorite color Is a nice shade of gray You'll sit your ass in the middle And that's where you're gonna' stay And I'll keep pressing you With questions you say I won't Wanna' hear the answers to I guess, deep down, that I don't I know you see I'm hurting And you tell me you are too But you're forever convincing me This is what we should do It hasn't been long since we Split from one into two And I wanna' know if you still Love me like I still love you I know you'll say "I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you" And I can't hate you for this Be easier if I could "I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you" And I can't hate you for this Although part of me wants to I wish I could put a bandage on this Give it a kiss And make it better I never thought that we'd be doing this Sorry you fell out Sorry I couldn't tell But I'm not sorry I met you I'm just so sorry I failed I know you'll say "I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you" And I can't hate you for this Be easier if I could "I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you" And I can't hate you for this Although part of me wants to Goodbye, babe
