He was a good man he had a good heart with a good soul
A good thing we had so I thought but I was wrong
He let me down by never letting on
He was as good as gone.

He had a good game he held a good hand played the cards that
He should play so you understand why I lost
He had that thing I never put my finger on
I put my whole hand and good God, yeah.

La da da da da da da

CHORUS
You talk about being lonely and tell me that your
Sunsets weren’t so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don’t know me
I realize some other eyes were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do it innocently don’t leave your hat on my door you don’t live here no more
The gig is up, game is through… And you lose.

So Relax. And settle in
To my story about one foolish King and his sin
He had a Queen with a castle worth coming in
Everyone said so but he’s no good at listening

It was one day and queenie’s in a land far away
And the good ol’ King Restless is aching to play
With the next best thing and the girl after that
But it doesn’t matter now, Cause I’m not coming back
Not coming back.

CHORUS
You talk about being lonely and tell me that your
Sunsets weren’t so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don’t know me
I realize some other eyes were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do it innocently don’t leave your hat on my door you don’t live here no more
The gig is up, game is through… And you lose.

You said I could stand next to you if I wanted to want the best for you
But I don’t so you make your next mistake on your own
You can tell me to forgive you but don’t ask twice don’t want to see the part of me that’s made of fire and ice, talk of love talk of pain talk of fear all I hear is goodbye….

CHORUS
You talk about being lonely and tell me that your
Sunsets weren’t so great when you were waiting on me
Oh but you don’t know me
I realize some other eyes were watching your sunrise
You blame it on me and do it innocently don’t leave your hat on my door you don’t live here no more
The gig is up, game is through… And you lose

You claim your innocence, but I blame your reticence
For why I never knew no, never knew how you play.
One love has two equal parts, but you leave your love with your mark
On your unfortunate prey.
But there is no excuse, I don’t like being used. And someday it’s gonna get back to you.

You’re so predictable man. You hit the ground and you ran.
Ran as if I, if I could chase you.
But your dear delectable prize ‘neath your near electrical skies
Is damn near disappointment at most.
I didn’t know I paid for merely a masquerade.
So I want my money back , hey.

CHORUS
You’re sorry that you hurt me so bad
Sorry if I thought you were madly in love
You only just pretend to start something that you can end.
Sorry you’re addicted to cruel
Sorry has nothing to do with you
Go on play your games cause I’m sorry I’m too good for you anyways.

How is it up on your high horse
You know we miss you of course
But if a moment ever rolls around you might be interested in looking down
Cause you’re not so far from the ground
I was a fool for you but you were foolish too. And fools never get the last laugh

CHORUS
You’re sorry that you hurt me so bad
Sorry if I thought you were madly in love
You only just pretend to start something that you can end.
Sorry you’re addicted to cruel
Sorry has nothing to do with you
Go on play your games cause I’m sorry I’m too good for you anyways.

You were an open book, but after a second look
I realized I was wasting my time
I know how the story goes and everyone looks for a hero
And here we are one at a time, standing in line to tell you you’re not mine.
But you’re sorry

CHORUS
You’re sorry that you hurt me so bad
Sorry if I thought you were madly in love
You only just pretend to start something that you can end.
Sorry you’re addicted to cruel
Sorry has nothing to do with you
Go on play your games cause I’m sorry I’m too good for you anyways.

Silly me, look what I did again.
I found what I want is what I cannot have
I didn’t mean to be so predictable,
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible

And it isn’t something I need ’til you tell me I can’t
Why wear my heart on my sleeve when it looks so good in your hand.

CHORUS
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me ’bout the undertow.
Oh, I couldn’t find a better man to let me go.

Little girl, I don’t know why you stay.
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away.
Old habits are so hard to break
It’d be a shame to stop now that I’ve started to make really good mistakes.

And I don’t know why I must ask for the forbidden fruit.
I saw the snake in the grass, but I had bitten too soon.

CHORUS
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me ’bout the undertow.
Oh, I couldn’t find a better man to let me go.

I should have seen you coming in
Should recognize the signs a wave’s gonna break
Now, I’ve given in, why fight it when
I’m resigned to simply live in your wake.
Your wake….

CHORUS
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me ’bout the undertow.
Oh, I couldn’t find a better man to let me go.

Bound for the Blessing
You wouldn’t see it coming
I keep you guessing
Watch while you come undone.

You were an island that no one would dare to tread upon.
I came in like the wise men, and ask you to take my gift of love.

CHORUS
Hold me responsible. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.
Hold me accountable. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.

Careful confessions
Can’t scare you with my crime
I learned my lesson
Love you a little at a time.

But I’m losing my patience, getting acquainted with the edge.
I’m ready and waiting. Happy to stand convicted.

CHORUS
Hold me responsible. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.
Hold me accountable. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.

I can’t change you when you won’t change yourself.
But I see you slowly becoming someone else.
I can’t blame you for the strength you lack.
Scared to give what you may not get back.

CHORUS
Hold me responsible. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.
Hold me accountable. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.

I’ve been down, I’ve been out. I did it all on my own. Seems growing up didn’t take long.
Feel Strange I feel good. I feel better with you.
You’ve changed, you should. Cause I think I did too.

Sara Bareilles CAREFUL CONFESSIONS 1st album CD NEW

Made my mistakes, and did a few things right
But it will take what it will take, baby that’s life
You cannot change what you do not own, everybody knows
But if you live deep and love strong you get pretty damn close

It moves fast and it scares me. I close my eyes, oh but I still see…

CHORUS
I’m fading in and out what are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don’t know how and I’ll find my way out
When I’m in the red listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed I still see everything you said,
Painted in Red

I shake and I smile, cause you said
Baby girl it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for?
How you love is who you are.

I dive in and I sink in. And I find new colors to think in…

CHORUS
I’m fading in and out what are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don’t know how and I’ll find my way out
When I’m in the red listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed I still see everything you said,
Painted in Red

In the distance is a line defining where I’ve been the state I’m in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I’ve been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars, everything they said
Painted in Red

CHORUS
I’m fading in and out what are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don’t know how and I’ll find my way out
When I’m in the red listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed I still see everything you said,
Painted in Red

What are you gonna do? No way for you to save me.
What are you gonna do? Everything that you gave me is painted in Red.

He bends his breath around my name
And I am humbled I feel small and plain.
But his arms are angels by his side.
You need not ask if they’re open, just how wide.

His lips are day, and his skin is night.
Oooh, and with our love we conjure up the twilight.
His fingers are music to my soul.
And I feel his song play everywhere I go.

CHORUS
My love, my love is on his way
Can’t wait to see the day I thankfully lay me down
My love my love is on his way
I’m waiting patiently, but if you see me now
My love, please hurry

He loves with rhythm, and paints with flame
He comes in pieces with no name
I won’t need answers I’ll just know
Cause I’ve read the sonnets about his soul

He can be ordinary in the best ways
And still dance like a poet through every word he says.

CHORUS
My love, my love is on his way
Can’t wait to see the day I thankfully lay me down
My love my love is on his way
I’m waiting patiently, but if you see me now
My love, please hurry

All that I never knew can you see me now
All that I never said, can you see me now

He makes me crazy, he makes me cruel.
Oh, but I pray he makes me anything but a fool

Oooh, my love…

I’ve been winding down the same road for days,
I’ve seen the coastline going both ways.
Some days are perfect, and some simply could not get worse.
Some days it’s all worth it, and some days this life is nothing but a curse.

And I wonder who will break first…

CHORUS
I am small. I feel like no more than nothing at all.
But when I lose sight of daylight, and my darkness falls
I’ll be strong. And if not now it won’t be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak and my soul is tired
Oh, I’ll give my love from the inside out
From the inside out

Little spirit, now don’t you desert me now
I know I don’t always hear it, but you don’t always speak so loud.
And I’m not willing to simply lay down my soul for this.
It may be all that I’m giving, oh but take my love for what it is.

CHORUS
I am small. I feel like no more than nothing at all.
But when I lose sight of daylight, and my darkness falls
I’ll be strong. And if not now it won’t be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak and my soul is tired
Oh, I’ll give my love from the inside out
From the inside out

Take your best shot. Here I stand heart in hand.
And fearless I’m not, but I am what I am.
I know what I’m not, and I know enough to know it’s never
Gonna be much more than weather, you can’t drive me away
When it’s only rain.
It’s only rain.
It’s only rain.
It’s only rain.

Cinderella’s on her bedroom floor
She’s got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don’t come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty’s in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, i’m tired today
I’d rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

Cause i don’t care for you fairytales
You’re so worried bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if i knew men could climb hair
I’ll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows

Cause i don’t care for you fairytales
You’re so worried bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that i should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight
But i don’t want the next best thing
So i sing and hold my head down and i break these walls round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love

Cause i don’t care for you fairytales
You’re so worried bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing
I don’t care
I don’t care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
Appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause i don’t want the next best thing
No no i don’t want the next best thing

There’s too many things that i haven’t done yet
Too many sunsets
I haven’t seen
You can’t waste the day wishing it’d slow down
You would’ve thought by now
I’d have learned something

I made up my mind when i was a young girl
I’ve been given this one world
I won’t worry it away
But now and again i lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then Love comes in

How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and i’ll be happy to follow you Love

I do what i can wherever i end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
Cause i’ve had my fiar share of take care and goodbyes
I’ve learned how to cry
And i’m better for that

Sing how far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Send me the miles and i’ll be happy to
Follow you Love

Red letter day and i’m in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I’ve been talking to God don’t know
If it’s helping or not
But surely something has got to got to got to give
Cause i can’t keep waiting to live

How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and i’ll be happy to yeah
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Been talking to God don’t know if it’s helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Oh send me the miles and i’ll be happy to
Follow you Love

There’s too many things i haven’t done yet
Too many sunsets i haven’t seen

There’s a harvest each saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
It’s clear this conversation ain’t’ doing a thing
Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
And i don’t feel like singing tonight
All the same songs

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I’m finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?

The situation’s always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood’s name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it’s not me

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I’m finding every reason to be gone
There’s nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?

Calling out somebody save me i feel like i’m fading away
Am i gone?
Calling out somebody save me i feel like i’m fading

In these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I’m finding every reason to be gone
There’s nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold on to you?
