Cruel Love

The neon sign still says open, so I keep on waiting tables. You're in the corner playing a jukebox jam, you take my hand, pull me close, smell like whiskey cologne.
And it's a cruel love, and it's not enough, oh it's a cruel love. It's a cruel love and I'm giving up on this cruel love.
And with a spin my dirty apron turns into a little black dress. You pull me close, you're giving me hope. You whisper, "I promise it'll never happen again."
But this is a cruel love, and it's not enough, oh it's a cruel love. It's a cruel love and I'm giving up on this cruel love.
I'm cleaning up your mess, balancing trays on my shoulder. Tips are lousy and my hours are worse. Feet are sore, I am poor, and I want more. Yeah it's a cruel love, and it's not enough, oh it's a cruel love. It's a cruel love and I'm giving up on this cruel love.

Paradise

The way the sheets feel on my face, I never wanna leave this place. Last night I had a dream we were running through a lavender field. The sunset at our backs, yeah you told me how you feel.
And it's like I'm waking up from paradise now I can't fall back asleep. Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me.
Took a spoonful of reality, tasted like cherry cough syrup to me. Took a cab to the other side of town. Got out, started walking around.
And I'm waking up from paradise, no I can't fall back asleep. Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me.
And I'll never forget your strawberry lips and how they tasted like chocolate. Oh I won't forget you promised we'd meet again, but summer's over, and I'm feeling much older. So, I dye my hair brown and put on a frown.
Oh, I'm waking up from paradise now I can't fall back asleep. Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me.
And hope is all I have left, so I hope you won't forget. And dreams are all I've got, so I find myself sleepwalking a lot. Sleepwalking a lot.
And I'm waking up from paradise, no I can't fall back asleep. Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me.
Oh I'm waking up from paradise, no I can't fall back asleep. Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me.

Little Mistakes

That was fun, your lips on my hips, did you feel the invisible sun? Let's do it again soon, so nervous I bit off my hangnail, oh it was a sliver of a moon.
And it's the little mistakes, the tremor of an earthquake, and driving home I shake.
Now it's done, after the hurricane, do you run? Yeah, you said, you had no feelings, but for some reason, I think there's something you're revealing.
And it's the little mistakes, the tremor of an earthquake, and driving home I shake.
Am I addicted? To being wanted, to being unrestricted. Hey, the feeling's mutual. What I did last night so unusual.
I said I forget something and I gave you a kiss. Then I ran to my truck, and I felt pure bliss.
And it's the little mistakes, the tremor of an earthquake, and driving home I shake.
Yeah the little mistakes, the tremor of an earthquake, driving home, yeah driving home, I shake, oh I shake, cause' it's the little, the little mistakes.

Okay

They ask me how I'm doing. I say no one is okay. Yeah, who do you think you're fooling? Just trying to get through the day. And ever since we were babies, been asked, "How's your day?" Yeah, and even when the innocence faded away, we had to reply, "Oh it's going great." When deep down we shake.
They ask me how I'm doing. I say no one is okay. Yeah, who do you think you're fooling? Just trying to get through the day. And the capes we wear, cause we're all scared, who we are beneath our tragedies. And at night when you lay all on your own. And you're feeling alone. You don't have to fake a smile, so you cry for a little while.
They ask me how I'm doing. I say no one is okay. Hey, who do you think you're fooling? Just trying to get through the day. And we don't know how we feel, cause we're numb, we brag, say we're made out of steel.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But what you hide is toxic and lethal and when you drive, and you're asking him why, yeah you drive. And you ask him to show you, show you, a little hope. They ask me how I'm doing, I say no one is okay. Yeah, who the hell do you think you're fooling? Just trying to get through the day.
And everyone's so damn fake. You say you're doing alright, well you ain't. Yeah, inside you shake, I'm just asking for a little honesty.
They ask me how I'm doing, I say not that great. Yeah, who do you think we're fooling? We're just trying to get through the day. Trying to get through the day. Trying to get through the day. Hey. The day.

Don't Fall

Don't tell me I'm not what you need. No, don't lead me on. And, don't tell me your love is temporary. Oh, don't pretend to adore me. Don't tell me you've given up.
Cause' we've gotten this far. I've fallen hard, for a stitched up heart. Hanging on tight to try and keep it from falling apart.
Tell me I'm all that you need. Lead to me to your sanctuary. And tell me your love goes on for infinity. Adore me. And you won't give up on us. Cause' what we got here is more than just trust.
Yeah we've gotten this far. I've fallen hard, for a stitched up heart. Hanging on tight to try and keep it from falling apart.
Let's take it slow beneath the sheets. Cause we both know this is a one way street. And it's paper thin, and I'm sinking. Tell me, you'll teach me how to swim.
Cause' we've gotten this far. I've fallen hard, for a stitched up heart. Hanging on tight to try and keep it from falling apart. Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall apart. No, don't fall, don't fall, don't fall apart.

Rose Solitude
03:55

You rose from the ashes like a phoenix. Feathers like fire. I was yellow with desire. You rose from the ashes like a phoenix. If you're a bird, than I'm a dove. I'm a dove perched in a war zone. We don't belong here. We don't belong.
But, if you fly away, will I get left behind? With the rubble, and pain? Yeah, if you're gonna fly away will I follow or will my wings be too heavy to migrate?
And heavy is the head that wears a daisy chain, you know, acting this nice drives me insane. And I can't sleep, won't eat, left wondering, is there a phoenix in me?
So, if you fly away, will I get left behind? With the rubble, and pain? Yeah, if you're gonna fly away will I follow or will my wings be too heavy to migrate?
You rose from the ashes like a phoenix, glittering and great. I was off rolling down a hill, rolling after all my mistakes. You're a phoenix who's risen from the ashes, and I'm a dove stuck in the rubble. I'm a dove infatuated with trouble.
And I'm rolling, I'm rolling down a hill. The blood of my memories, fresher than strawberries, and I'm rolling, rolling. And it feels like rose solitude. Thank you my darling for living your truth. Rose, rose, rose, solitude. There is no me and you.

Hollow
03:45
|

Sometimes the music doesn't come out right. Sometimes the beat just stops. And every night I lay awake and say, how am I gonna get through another day?
Cause I am so hollow. I need someone or something to fill me up. Yeah trying to get to tomorrow. Oh feeling so hollow.
But if you're a boy who likes shopping in the women's section of thrift stores. I can kick in with you. Or if you know the kind of pain I've been through, I can kick it with you.
I'm just warning you I feel numb lately, and I'm no Blake Lively, but boys say I'm pretty and I drink 'em like water to fill me up, fill me up, I drink 'em like water.
Cause I am so hollow. I need someone or something to fill me up. Yeah trying to get to tomorrow. Oh feeling so hollow.
And yesterday Jewel came on the radio yeah she sang to me, she sang who will save your soul? Well I already know, it's not gonna be one of those boys I call up on the phone. Still I still I drink 'em like water to fill me up, fill me up, I drink 'em like water.
Cause I am so hollow. I need someone or something to fill me up. Yeah trying to get to tomorrow. Oh feeling so hollow.
Who will save your soul? You already know. Who will save my soul? I already know.
