Lyrics to Heavy :
It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving it up
Man I thought that you were joking
And I'm broken

You burn for a little while
Pass it on and try something else
Yeah, you know that you're the one
And you turned on me
'Cause that's the way you heard it was supposed to be

Right away you start thinking about
The wrong things and start giving up
Yeah, you know that we're all quitters
Big sinners

So tell me 'cause I don't understand
Just how to be more to the right
You know, you know that means so much

And you turned on me
Yeah, 'cuz I'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were heavy
So go

You could sell me about anything
And I would buy because I like your face
Yeah, you know that I'm a sucker
A little fucker

Tell me it's only me
And I'll tell you it's only you
'Cause only you can make me weak

And you turned on me
Yeah, 'cuz I'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were heavy
Were when things were heavy
Love got so heavy
Love got so heavy...

Yeah, I'm sick and thin, thin, thin, thin

It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving it up
Man I thought that you were joking

Lyrics to Push :
She said "I don't know if I've ever been good enough.
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in.
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
by a hand that's touched me, and I feel like something's gonna give.
And I'm a little bit angry."

well, this ain't over.
no not here, not while I still need you around.
you don't owe me, we might change.
yeah we just might feel good

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

She said "I don't know why you ever would lie to me,
like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya.
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me,
you couldn't stand to be near me when my face don't seem to want to shine
'cause it's a little bit dirty."

well, don't just stand there
say nice things to me,
'cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged.
and you, you don't know me
I can't change - I won't do anything at all.

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

oh, but don't bowl me over
just wait a minute, well I kinda fell apart
things get so crazy, crazy
don't rush this baby
don't rush this baby, baby, baby ...

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

I wanna push you around
well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
yeah, well I will

Lyrics to 3 AM :
She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

Chorus:
She says baby
It's 3 AM I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it

She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

Chorus

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days...and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside it's stopped raining

Chorus

Lyrics to Real World :
I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm...
Done

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow
Sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

Chorus:
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you when we started this gig
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get
me some
Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

Chorus

Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me

Chorus

Lyrics to Back 2 Good :
It's nothing, it's so normal you
Just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there 'cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

This don't mean that, you own me
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted too
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do

And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like
They do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like
They do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with
Somebody else
Everyone here's to blame, everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're
The same
And we're all grown now, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout
Somebody else
It's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
But it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now
There's no getting back to good

Lyrics to Bent :
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin

Start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again

Lyrics to If You're Gone :
I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak...But I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed...I can't be sure

I think you're so mean...I think we should try
I think I could need...this in my life
I think I'm just scared...I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone...maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone...baby you need to come home
'Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need...more than you mind

I think you're so mean...I think we should try
I think I could need...this in my life
I think I'm just scared...that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem
I'm feeling

If you're gone...maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone...baby you need to come home
'Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean...I think we should try
I think I could need...this in my life
I think I'm just scared...do I talk too much
I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

Lyrics to Mad Season :
I feel stupid...but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing...I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down

I feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin'...think it's funny how no one knows
We don't talk about...the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why ya gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now
It seems to me...you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out...I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken...though I've never spoken
I come undone...in this mad season

I feel stupid...but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly...but I know I still turn you on
You seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down

So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out
You need to be together now...I need you now

Now I'm cryin'...isn't that what you want
I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't
At times...I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I feel stupid
And I came undone

Lyrics to Disease :
Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody's heart break
Now I have to let you go
I have to let you go
You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go
No one's ever turned you over
No one's tried to ever let you down
Beautiful girl
Bless your heart

I got a disease deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me
What am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from me
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Feels like you're making a mess
You're hell on wheels in a black dress
You drove me to the fire and left me there to burn
Every little thing you do is tragic
All my life before was magic
Beautiful girl
I can't breathe

I got a disease deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me
What am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from me
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

And well I think that I'm sick
Believe me
Meanwhile my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me
Can I be your honey
Be be strong
Keep telling myself that it wont take long
Till I'm free of my disease
Yeah well free of my disease
Free of my disease

Yeah well
I got a disease deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me
What am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from me
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

And well I think that I'm sick
Believe me
Meanwhile my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me
Can I be your honey
Be be strong
Keep telling myself that it won't take long
Till I'm free of my disease
Yeah free of my disease
Simply free of my disease

Lyrics to Unwell :
All day
Staring at the ceiling makin'
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearin' voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For something

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
And I don't know why

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Me

And talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
And I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong

With me

Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talkin' in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
They'll be taking me away

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me

And how I used to be

Hey how I used to be
How I used to be...yeah and
I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

Lyrics to Bright Lights :
She got out of town
On a railway New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway

There's some things in this world
You just can't change
Some things you can't see
Until it gets too late

(chorus)
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to please you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You can turn yourself around
And come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world
They don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Until they leave you
And they're things that you miss

(chorus)

Let that city take you in
Let that city spit you out
Let that city take you down
For God's sake turn around
