    Are You Happy Now?

    Now, don’t just walk away
    Pretending everything’s ok
    And you don’t care about me
    And I know there’s just no use
    When all your lies become your truths and I don’t care... yeah, yeah, yeah

    Could you look me in the eye
    And tell me that you’re happy now, ohhh, ohhh
    Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
    Are you happy now?
    Are you happy now?

    You took all there was to take,
    And left with an empty plate
    And you don’t care about it, yeah.
    And I, I’ve given up this game
    I’m leaving you with all the blame cause I don’t care, yeah, yeah yeah,

    Could you look me in the eye?
    And tell me that you’re happy now, oohh oohhh
    Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
    Are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
    Are you happy now?

    Do you have everything you want?
    You can get up and give everything you`ve got
    You can’t run away from yourself

    Could you look me in the eye?
    and tell me that you`re happy now, oohh oohhh
    come on tell it to my face or have i been erased,
    are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
    are you happy now?

    Would you look me in the eye?
    Could you look me in the eye?
    I’ve had that all I can take
    And I’m about to break
    Cause I’m happy now, ohhh, ohhh
    Are you happy now?





    Find Your Way Back

    I use to get away so much
    Now I can't get away
    I even thought that it was simple
    To say the things I wanted to say

    When you told me
    Everything I wanted to hear
    And you sold me
    Now I don't know how I should feel
    I should know me
    But baby you'd think I'd know better
    Hoah-woah, yeah

    I'm finding my way back to you
    And everything I use to be
    And leaving is all I can do
    Until you find your way back to me

    What if I said what I was thinking
    What if that says too much
    When everybody's got a reason
    I feel like giving up

    And you told me
    Everything I wanted to hear
    And you sold me
    Now I don't know how I should feel
    I should have known me
    But baby you'd think I'd know better
    Hoah-woah, yeah

    I'm finding my way back to you
    And everything I use to be
    And leaving is all I can do
    Until you find your way back to me
    Until you find your way back to me
    Hoah, until you find your way back to me

    I use to get away so much...
    I'm finding my way back to you
    And everything I use to be
    And leaving is all I can do
    Until you find your way back to me
    Yeah, Hoah-woah, yeah
    And leaving is all I can do
    Until you find your way back to me
    Woah

    I use to get away so much...




    Empty Handed

    Here I am
    Take me
    It's easier to get in
    Woah, woah...
    Some people mistake me
    They only hear what they wanna hear
    If you lose and say
    Forgive me
    I just can't keep... pretending

    I'm packing my bags
    Cause I don't wanna be
    The only one whose drowning in their misery
    Now I'm taking that chance
    Cause I just wanna be
    Now I won't look back
    And wonder how it's suppose to be
    How it's suppose to be
    Woah

    There's a prison with a window
    It's the light begin
    I wish you would let me
    Feel the water until you swim
    Woah, woah
    And it's only me
    Empty Handed
    Like the scaralige grave

    And I'm packing my bags
    I'm packing my bags
    Cause I don't wanna be
    The only one whose drowning in their misery
    And now I'm taking that chance
    Cause I just wanna be
    Now I won't look back
    And wonder how it's suppose to be
    How it's suppose to be
    How-oah
    How it's suppose to be

    Well I'm packing my bags
    Cause I don't wanna be
    The only one whose drowing in their misery
    Now I take that chance
    Cause I just wanna be
    Now I won't look back
    And wonder how it's suppose to be
    How it's suppose to be
    Tell me how it's suppose to be
    Tell me how, tell me how...
    The only one... the only one... whose drowing in their misery
    Cause I'm packing my bags... cause I'm packing my bags
    And I won't be back
    Yeah, yeah...






    Tuesday Morning

    I remember
    Stormy weather
    The way the sky looks when it's cold
    And you will be with me
    Until we're walking
    So we're aware of the world

    Please don't drive me home tonight
    Cause I don't wanna feel alone
    Please don't drive me home tonight
    Cause I don't wanna go

    Tuesday morning
    In the dark
    I was finding out who you are

    I took your picture
    While you were sleeping
    And then I paced around the room
    If I had known then
    That these things happen
    Would they have happened with you
    Hoah...

    Please don't drive me home tonight
    Cause I don't wanna feel alone
    Please don't drive me home tonight
    Cause I don't wanna go

    Tuesday morning
    In the dark
    I was finding out who you are

    And if you turned around to see me
    And I was gone
    Oh-woah
    Should have looked outside your window
    Cause the sun was coming up
    The sun was coming up

    Please don't drive me home tonight
    Cause I don't wanna feel alone

    Tuesday morning
    In the dark
    We were finding out who we are
    Tuesday morning
    In the dark
    Ohh
    We were finding out who we are
    Who we are
    Who we are







    One Of These Days

    I bet you didn't notice
    But I didn't care
    I tried being honest
    But that left me no where
    I watched the station
    Saw the bus pulling through
    And I don't mind saying
    A part of me left with you

    So one of these days
    I won't be afraid of staying with you
    I hope and I pray
    Waiting to find a way back to you
    Cause that's where I'm home
    Oh...

    Did I make you nervous?
    Did I ask for too much?
    Was I not deserving
    Once I came of your touch

    One of these days
    I won't be afraid of staying with you
    I hope and I pray
    Waiting to find a way back to you
    Cause that's where I'm home

    What would you do if I could have you
    What if I could?
    I'd let you feel everything you can get
    Wouldn't that be enough?
    Wouldn't that be enough?

    And one of these days
    I won't be afraid of staying with you...

    I bet you didn't notice
    But I didn't care
    I tried being honest
    But that left me no where

    I watched the station
    Saw the bus pulling through
    And I don't mind saying
    A part of me left with you

    So one of these days
    I won't be afraid of staying with you
    I hope and I pray
    Waiting to find a way back to you
    Cause that's where I'm home
    Oh

    Did I make you nervous?
    Did I ask for too much?
    Was I not deserving
    Once I came to your touch?

    One of these days
    I won't be afraid of staying with you
    I hope and I pray
    Waiting to find a way back to you
    Cause that's where I'm home
    Oh, what would you do if I could have you?
    What if I could?
    I'd let you feel everything you could get
    Wouldn't that be enough?
    Wouldn't that be enough?

    And one of these days
    I won't be afraid of staying with you...






    Love Me Like That

    Well you sold my heart
    And I'll get it back
    But look me in the eye, baby
    Tell me why you love me like that
    Why you love me like that
    Hoah-oah

    Well I've walked this world
    Thought time's no more
    And after all this walking
    They've still got me crawling on the floor
    Crawling on the floor

    And out of this world
    Keeps on turning
    Keeps me yearning

    How can you turn and walk away?
    Pretending everything's okay
    How can you turn your back?
    Tell me why you love me like that
    Why you love me like that
    Hoah-oah

    Well I find you sad
    But I shatter like broken glass
    But I thought we would be different, baby
    Yeah, I thought we would last
    Yeah, I thought we would last

    And out of this world
    Keeps on standing
    Every minute that you're in me

    How can you turn and walk away
    Pretending everything's okay
    How can you turn your back
    Tell me why you love me like that
    Why you love me like that
    Hoah-oah

    I might not believe me baby
    Don't lead me on
    With loving like yours
    Believe me I'm better off,
    I'm better off alone

    Well I was your gypsy
    Throwing diamonds at your feet
    Drifted around you like a satellite
    I gave you everything you need
    Everything you need

    I know this world keeps on turning
    Keeps me yearning and yearning

    How can you turn and walk away
    Pretending everything's okay
    How can you turn your back
    Tell me why you love me like that
    Why you
    How can you just break away
    Why can't you find the words to say
    Love is something you can't forget
    Tell me why you love me like that
    Why you love me like that

    How can you throw us away
    Look at what you lost today
    Now everything's a shade of gray
    Now you're pushing me away
    Say all the things you need to say
    Thought we were going all the way
    Play all the games you wanna play
    Sooner we'll stay away

    Breathe

    I've been driving for an hour
    Just talking to the rain
    Said I've been driving crazy
    Cause its keeping you away
    So just give me one good reason
    Tell me why I should stay
    Cause I dont wanna waste another moment
    Saying things we were never meant to say

    And I
    Take it just a little bit
    I..
    Hold my breath and count to ten
    I..
    I've been waiting for a chance to let you in

    If I just breathe
    How do you fill the space in between?
    Oh no, everything is alright
    Breathe
    Everything little piece of me
    You'll see
    Everything is alright
    If I just breathe

    Well it's ours, so overrated
    Not saying how you feel
    So you end up watching chances fade
    And wonder in which way

    And I...
    Give you just a little time
    I...
    Wonder if you realize
    I...
    I've been waiting till I see it in your eyes

    If I just breathe
    How do you fill the space between
    Oh no, everything is alright
    Breathe,
    Every little piece of me
    You'll see
    Everything is alright
    If I just breathe
    Breathe

    So I whisper and I'm,
    Hoping you hear me
    Do you hear me?

    If I just breathe
    How do you fill the space between
    Oh no, everything is alright
    Breathe,
    Every little piece of me
    You'll see
    Everything is alright





    Where Are You Now?

    Maybe I'll be better on my own
    Nobody ever seems to understand me
    It's easier for me to be alone
    Until a piece of me that feels so empty
    I've been all over the world
    I've seen a million different places
    But through the crowds and all the faces
    I'm still out there looking for you

    Hoah,
    Where are you now?
    I'm trying to get back
    With never ever knowing at all
    What is the chance
    Of finding you out there
    Until I have to wait forever

    I write about the things I'll never known
    And I find a moment to slow down
    Makes me think I'll never have the chance
    To figure out, to figure out
    What it's all about, what it's all about
    So tell me, tell me
    What it's all about

    Cause
    Where are you now?
    I'm trying to get by
    With never ever knowing at all
    What is the chance
    Of finding you out there
    Until I have to wait forever

    Where are you now?
    I'm trying to get by
    With never ever knowing at all
    And I still don't know

    Where are you now?
    I'm trying to get by
    With never ever knowing at all
    What is the chance?
    Of finding you out there
    Until I have to wait
    Until I have to wait forever




    Hotel Paper

    I write mostly on hotel paper
    Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room
    I'd be out of that, telling you - leave her
    So why, am I lonely surrounded by you
    Oh, by you

    Lately I can't be happy for no one
    They think I need some time to myself
    I try, to smile but I can't remember
    I know tomorrow, there will be nothing else

    And I,
    Wanted to be
    Giving you everything
    She's not giving
    And I,
    Wanted to see
    Cause I didn't believe
    What I been hearing

    You turn out to be more than I bargined for
    And I can't tell that you need to get away
    Forgive me, if I had meant to, love you
    We both realize - we're too late

    And I,
    Wanted to be
    Giving you everything
    She's not giving
    And I,
    Wanted to see
    Cause I didn't believe
    What I been hearing

    Maybe there's wind blowing in
    Came from the Ocean

    I write mostly on hotel paper





    Til I Get Over You

    Everytime I feel alone
    I can blame it on you
    And I do - oh
    You got me like a loaded gun
    Golden sun, and a sky so blue

    We both know
    That we won't let it
    And we both want
    You left me, no choice

    You just bring me down
    So I'm counting the tears
    Till I get over you

    Sometimes I watch the world get by
    I wonder what it's like
    To wake up every single day
    Smile on your face
    You never try

    We both know
    We can't change it
    But we both know
    We'll just have to face it

    You just bring me down
    So I'm counting the tears
    Till I get over you

    Only if I could give you
    Would I want to let off
    From this soap opera, baby

    We both know
    We won't let
    But we both know
    You left me - no choice
    You just bring me down

    So I'm counting the tears
    Till I get over you





    It's You

    Cause tomorrow never comes
    I would want just one thing
    I would sell it to the stars and sun
    I would let it for the world to see
    And it's you
    The light changes when you're in the room
    Oh it's you
    Oh it's you

    If tomorrow never comes
    I would want just one wish
    To kiss your quiet mouth
    Trace the steps of my fingertips
    And it's you
    The light changes when you're in the room
    Oh it's you
    Oh it's you
    Oh it's you

    Oh it's you
    Oh it's you
    Oh it's you
    Oh it's you...





    Desperately

    There's something about the way you looked at me
    Think for a moment,
    That maybe we were meant to be
    Living life seperately
    Ain't it strange how things change
    And now they wanted, you so desperately

    Oh, I cannot ignore it
    I could give it in, but I should know better
    There's something about the way you looked at me
    Ain't it strange how things change
    And now they wanted, you so desperately

    Yeah you looked and
    You said you frustrate me
    Like thinking of lines,
    In times when you and I were you and me
    Took a chance out on the street
    May have missed my chance
    And chances are you won't be coming back for me

    Why can't I ignore it
    I could have given in, but I should know better
    Cause there's something about the way you looked at me
    Ain't it strange how things change
    But now they're wanting you so desperately
    So desperately
    Hoah

    Why can't I ignore it
    I could have given in, but I should know better
    Cause there's something about the way you looked at me
    Ain't it strange that things change
    But now they're wanting you so desperately
    So desperately

    I keep giving in, when I should know better
    I keep giving in, when I should know better
    So desperately
    I want so desperately
