Backing Down

Too close, too soon
That's what they told me about you
But they don't know the time we keep
Too many reasons not to do this
I told you
As I rub your head back to sleep
I'm backing down
I'm backing down
And I won't come around anymore
While I'm backing down
How many times do I have to prove that I want you
Without you playing different cards
Cause it's not me who'll make the choice here, it's yours
If you like you can go with those better odds
I'm backing down
I'm backing down
And I won't come around anymore
While I'm backing down
No I won't come between you and your company
There's no room for me and my jealousy
Won't you let me back down
Take my hands behind my back
It's taking all the strength I have to leave you be
I'm backing down
I'm backing down
And I won't come around anymore
While I'm backing down

White Clouds

You chase that feeling like you’re falling in love
Everything disappears
Intoxicated
White clouds rolling in
You swear you’re thinking clear
That’s when you gave away all your loving
Gave it away
Left me with nothing
I’m not gonna let you waste my time
With complicated phony alibis
I’m not gonna let you waste my time
While you feed your lady hungry appetite
You keep that motor running straight through the dark nights
Stalling out into the light
Sooner or later you’re gonna figure it out
You can’t live a double life
You gave away all your loving
Gave it away
Left me with nothing
I’m not gonna let you waste my time
With complicated phony alibis
I’m not gonna let you waste my time
While you feed your lady hungry appetite
White clouds rolling in and out
Got clouded vision now
The sun’s getting close
Love’s running low
Too high
Let it burn out
I’m not gonna let you waste my time
With complicated phony alibis
I’m not gonna let you waste my time
While you feed your lady hungry appetite
White clouds rolling in and out

Ring Off
03:37
|

|
You looked me dead in the eyes
Said I was way offsides
Easy liar
A little kiss goodbye
For your silly wife
To play with fire
Did you take your ring off
Or did you leave it on
What's worse
Did it even cross your mind that you had it on your finger
Before you put your hands on her
I didn't exist to you, no I didn't exist
I didn't exist to you
You couldn't resist the urge, no you couldn't resist
I didn't exist to you
You came back home
King of the household
Stupid smile
A little kiss hello
Those lips alone
Must be tired
Did you take your ring off
Or did you leave it on
What's worse
Did it even cross your mind that you had it on your finger
Before you put your hands on her
I didn't exist to you, no I didn't exist
I didn't exist to you
You couldn't resist the urge, no you couldn't resist
I didn't exist to you
You made a vow just to break it
Your lips, your touch, your words
Nothing's sacred
I see you now
The truth is naked
You took everything else off
You took everything else off
But did you take your ring off
When you put your hands on her and her and her
I didn't exist to you, no I didn't exist
I didn't exist to you
You couldn't resist the urge, no you couldn't resist
I didn't exist to you

Tough Love

All the contradictions
All the wayward signs
I can't keep up
Seven versions of the same story
You say you try
Not even you can keep up
How many times did I say that this would be the last
And you have the audacity to even ask me
To take your side for leaving mine
Tough love ain't enough love for you
Tough love ain't enough love for you
You do what you want to
Saying no just ain't no use
Tough love ain't enough love for you
Keeping tabs for ages
Now I think its time for me to give up
Cause I've read all the pages
They same thing, I write the same things
I need to speak up
How many times did I say that this would be the last
And you have the audacity to even ask me
To take your side for leaving mine
Tough love ain't enough love for you
Tough love ain't enough love for you
You do what you want to
Saying no just ain't no use
Tough love ain't enough love for you
How did I not break down
Broken record life
How did I not breakdown
How many times did I say that this would be the last
And you have the audacity to even ask me
To take your side for leaving mine
Tough love ain't enough love for you
Tough love ain't enough love for you
You do what you want to
Saying no just ain't no use
Tough love ain't enough love for you

A Safer Place
03:34
|

It’s not even cold out
And I’m under the covers shaking
In a darkroom, no developments
That’s how I spend my afternoons
We can’t be lovers tonight
We can’t be lovers tonight
I cry out
Leave me inside
I don’t wanna go out
I like to stay inside my mind
A safer place for me to hide
I’ve never seen a shooting star
Don’t think I’ll ever get that lucky
As I count all the photos over the mantle
I see everything I don’t want to be
We can’t be lovers tonight
We can’t be lovers tonight
I cry out
Leave me inside
I don’t wanna go out
I like to stay inside my mind
A safer place for me to hide
It’s not even cold out
And I’ve never seen a shooting star
Don’t think I’ll ever get that lucky
I cry out
Leave me inside
I don’t wanna go out
I like to stay inside my mind
A safer place for me to hide
