You wanted to go but you knew you should stay
You tried to say no but you smiled anyway
You gave it your best but you fell through the cracks
Your life is a mess but there's no going back
And yes, my dear, it's hard to be, my dear
Take hold of your breath and begin right here
Your breathing is slow but your heart's beating fast
The one thing you know is that nothing's made to last
Everything hurts and the world is a lie
But you can feel love, you know, if you try
And yes, my dear, it's hard to be, my dear
Take hold of your breath and begin right here
So wipe your eyes and count to ten
You've been there once and you will be there again
Grab your leather jacket, baby, call your friends
And tell them you've been writing music and you're on the mend
And yes, my dear, it's hard to breathe, my dear
Grab hold of your breath and begin right here

It's All You

You're not free
I know, it's so clear to me, you're not free, you're not free
You keep holding back, holding back, next to me
Next to me
Sometimes, I'd swear the stars aligned for us
I never really thought that I'd need you truly
But I do, I do
I was meant for you like you were meant for me and we
Together and apart are so lovely
If only you knew, what happens to me when I look at you
And touch you, and feel you and breathe you, oh
I touch you, I feel you, I breathe you; it's all you.
It's all you
It's all you
It's all you
I had so many options, boy, and I said yes to most
And if you're not cool with that then, I guess you're not the person that I
Thought you to be
I want you to be
But you're not with me
At least not for now
Maybe there'll come a chance
But I shouldn't wait
Cuz you're already gone
Yeah you're already gone
My bag of tricks has all been
Thrown away and I keep trying, but they wouldn't bring you back
And I can't, I can't wait any longer, no
But I try, and I try and then I fail and then I wonder
Why am I trying?
Why am I trying?
Why am I trying?
Why am I trying
To be your...

Fantasies

It's in every second window
And the lies you tell yourself
It's in every hotel lobby
And the line that you cross and you cross so well
Yeah you cross so well
And all of the time you wanted to buy, buy, buy
Bye-bye
You were waiting for someone to come and save you
But nobody came, no, nobody came
You were waiting for someone to tell you what to do
But you didn't hear them
You just stayed
Exactly the same
Yeah, you just stayed
Exactly the same
We rely on our fantasies
To take us away, take us away
But you see, there's a price to pay
When they take us away
When they take us away
And we're gone
It's in every second window
And the lies you tell yourself
It's in every hotel lobby
And the line that you cross and you cross so well
Yeah you cross so well
And all of the time you wanted to buy, buy, buy
Bye-bye
You were waiting for someone to come and save you
But nobody came, no, nobody came
You were waiting for someone to tell you what to do
But you didn't hear them
You just stayed
Exactly the same
Yeah, you just stayed
Exactly the same
You were waiting for someone to come and save you
But nobody came, no, nobody came
You were waiting for someone to tell you what to do
But you didn't hear them
