Je suis trop jolie pour toi Take a look at my soul and you will see All the lies I've been told written on me Warping my perception of the people around me So much so that I can't think or talk or even breathe It's not that I'm bitter; I am fine I can deal with myself most of the time But you are getting awfully close to finding out you're wrong So I only hope I can distract you with this stupid little song I don't care about you I've got a thousand other things I'd rather do Didn't you suspect something when I got up to leave Cause I would do most anything to get what I need Stick a knife in my back it'll be okay You really thought I deserved it anyway The pain is better, frankly dear, when it comes as a surprise And god it's great to see that little twinkle in your eye But it's not the end-- I'll give you that Soon you will regret treating me bad Cause I retain every slight and insult in my head And I won't rest a single day 'til one of us is dead I don't care about you I've got a thousand other things I'd rather do Didn't you suspect something when I got up to leave Cause I would do most anything to get what I need And now I'm finding out you waited for me Set the table, set the score, so everyone can see That you are such a martyr, poor angel, baby, kid No one could turn their back on you 'til they hear what you did So thank you darling this set up is ideal I've got butterflies, gonna make you feel what I feel Mais je m'en fous de ça parce que je savias toujours Stick a knife in my back, it'll be okay You really thought I deserved it anyway But now you've lost a weapon and it's dripping in my hand So take a sip you'll always be un petit homme très bête I don't care about you I've got a thousand other things I'd rather do Didn't you suspect something when I got up to leave Cause I would do most anything to get what I need

Healthy Heart It's a slit my throat kind of love The healthy kind like in the movies It's beautiful, it's not pathetic, it's unrequited He's with someone else, but of course he loves you Of course he does, of course he does Of course he does, of course he does I'm sure he does, and that's why he's not with you He just can't control his feelings And you can't control your thoughts So go ahead keep thinking That you're the one he wants You count to ten, open your eyes And you see he's not there You assume that he's just worried What you'll think of him Now close your eyes and you'll find They're standing in a church Oh my goodness, oh my goodness Think how much it hurts But no he doesn't, no he doesn't No he doesn't, no he doesn't He cannot love her He just can't control his feelings And you can't control your thoughts So go ahead keep thinking That you're the one he wants Have you ever stopped to think Maybe his life does not involve you? Can you hear me? I'm trying to tell you That this goes beyond addiction But you'll never hear a thing He is thinking lots of things That are not about you He doesn't know all that you've been through He just needs to hear the words from you But some words you just can't swallow Others you can't let out And these are threatening to choke me He doesn't love you Never has, he never will Isn't this a bitter pill?

Make U Mine And it's mind games I find are the kindest to play When we need reminding That we are defined by our fears And we only say I love you When we need reassurance that we Don't have to fight them on our own But you and I are accustomed to being alone We are of the same breed, same kind, same design And just like the others I'm gonna make you mine Please calm down This is not the end of the world When you give me all that you've got To prove to me that you will lie When I command you to So there better not be anything here That would drive me away Cause now that I've saved you, you have to remain We are of the same breed, same kind, same design And just like the others I'm gonna make you mine I saw you on a bridge last night You saw me on the shooting range My aim was off and so was yours But no we don't make mistakes I needed to change my target And you had to learn that time was a constant Constantly forging again it won't let you forget And it's mind games That I play when I get bored But that doesn't mean I'm having fun It's a job and I do it with pride So I'll take my medal now For throwing myself in the path Of the dogs who would eat you up So how dare you saw this was never enough We are of the same breed, same kind, same design And just like the others I'm gonna make you mine

Nothing Will Change Around Here Oh yeah Better hold on tight Hold on tonight You're gonna loose what you wanted to find A pretty young thing with her hands in your hair And you claim you don't care At the bar you hold on for some action and I Almost waver, almost tell myself that you're Okay to talk about such things when you're in this state It's not about the sex this time you swear It's not about some nursery rhyme you're Telling me you're going away But nothing will change around here It's not your fault, not your choice You better give me something new Cause I've heard this all heard, I've heard it before And it's bullshit coming from you Then at home you tell me on your knees that this will be Alright if I just wait for a minute, keep my Eyes wide shut because you've a surprise for me tonight It's not about the sex this time you swear It's not about some nursery rhyme you're Telling me you're going away But nothing will change around here Promise me you'll write To me wherever you go So I won't have to try And reach out when you are not there Cause I don't care enough Oh no You better let go, change your grip Your true colors are starting to show If I didn't know better I'd think that you were sad to go At the bus you shake your head and smile so I Almost waver, almost tell myself that it will Be okay, better even things will start to change It's not about the sex this time you swear It's not about some nursery rhyme you're Telling me you're going away But nothing will change around here
