I confess, there's a chance I cannot fake it any longer I admit, this could be it there's a danger I'm going under I know that yesterday you saw me stronger than the sun Then one cold word from you and swiftly I've come undone And your love's killing me slowly Killing me one day at a time Killing me slowly It's the sweetest suicide it's the sweetest suicide Killing me slowly Your firm hand on the door my brave little foot keeping it open My whole self on the line there's a danger I might get broken Slip your pill under my tongue and willingly I succumb Cup my heart in your palm and squeeze it 'til the red stuff runs And your love's killing me slowly Killing me one day at a time Killing me slowly It's the sweetest suicide it's the sweetest suicide Killing me slowly For a moment there you know I almost fooled myself Into thinking I was in control of how I felt Striving towards salvation clutching my last drop of dignity Go on take the pillow smother me, smother me And your love's killing me slowly Killing me one day at a time Killing me slowly It's the sweetest suicide it's the sweetest suicide
It's been a whole year since your call The one that started I don't love you anymore I thought I'd surely not survive But here I am, I'm still alive, 365 days later Going strong, holding on trying to find a place where I belong I've been east, I've been west but I'm still not over you yet I'm still not over you yet, no no The weeks and months blend into one A bleary haze, fall, winter now spring has begun Bringing fresh hope to my door I'll be the girl I was before you took back the precious gift you gave to me Going strong, holding on trying to find a place where I belong I've been east, I've been west but I'm still not over you yet I'm still not over you yet, no no And after all is said and done and written up (written in the stars above) The radio's singing songs of love but not for us Not for us Going strong, holding on trying to find a place where I belong I've been east, I've been west but I'm still not over you yet I'm still not over you yet, no no East west, east west, 365 here I am, I'm still alive
I have been imagining myself Under you over you outside you I have been happy in my thinking Drive me to the mountains Take me to the sea You be strong and beautiful And I'll try not to be me With my complications With my don'ts and dos You be kind and wonderful And I'll be good to you If you feel brave and you ask me I'll say Stay, stay, stay, stay Safe beneath these clean white sheets I dream I'm under you over you outside you I have been happy in my dreaming Kiss me in the morning Hold me though the night Whisper that it's okay And I'll believe you're right Steer me from the shadows Lead me to the light Push your hand in my hand And I won't put up a fight If you feel brave and you ask me I'll say Stay, stay, stay, stay Under you over you outside you Stay, carry me away Come on, stay
I want to call you baby And you to take care of me I want to call you baby, baby God help me I don't know what's right anymore I'm robbed of reason in my blind hurry to your door Blessed is the blend that's racing through my veins And troubled is the mind that brings me back to earth again I want to call you baby And you to take care of me I want to call you baby, baby Peel away the layers of of coming consequence I feel will follow should we fall from innocence Make it safe to lay in your loving arms And let's pretend there's no one here to hurt or harm I want to call you baby And you to take care of me I want to call you baby, baby Gather me up like a child in need Watch over me while you rock me to sleep When I'm alone all night in the dark I blame you for my swollen heart I want to call you baby And you to take care of me I want to call you baby I want to call you baby And you to take care of me I want to call you baby, baby
Know that I'm living on a day-to-day basis I'm digging in the dirt for traces of our love Of our love And with the sun as my only witness And the sun knows for sure that this is My last goodbye My last goodbye Hear me now 'cause I'm speaking for the lost and the lonely I'm allowed to 'cause of how you hurt me I belong, I belong And I swear on the stars up above And I swear I'd do it all again for love This is my last goodbye My last goodbye And I've had my fair share of the good, bad and beautiful And I've had my fair share of life This is my last goodbye My last goodbye I can't take another goodbye baby I won't make another goodbye baby
The news just filtered through There's a new girl hanging out with you I'd kill the messenger But she's my friend and I love her And I know she tells me this for my own good 'Cause she knows I've not moved on like a wise girl should Now she's lying in my place With the right to kiss my favourite face Now she's curled up in my chair Your fingers in her hair It's more than I can bear I do the best I can To go along with God's good plan He thinks it's obvious There's no hope for the two of us So I know he's doing this for my own good 'Cause she knows I've not moved on like a wise girl should Now she's lying in my place With the right to kiss my favourite face Now she's curled up in my chair Your fingers in her hair It's more than I can bear Some may say life is for living But this takes some forgiving And I will try to Now she's lying in my place With the right to kiss my favourite face Now she's curled up in my chair Your fingers in her hair It's more than I can bear It's more than I can bear
I used to pride myself on always being one step ahead of the game I thought I had it in line thought I knew what was mine and then you came And unraveled every fibre from beneath my solid ground I'm feeling like I can't look down I'm scared of what I'll find I can tell you anything but what's really on my mind I can tell you anything but what's really on my mind I'm so tempted to lay the whole complete truth at your finger tips If I gave you it straight would my secret be safe behind your lips? Or would my guarded notion crumble in your care? I'm feeling like I can't look down I'm scared of what I'll find I can tell you anything but what's really on my mind I can tell you anything but what's really on my mind And sometimes I stall to catch myself From sharing all these silent things I've felt I'm feeling like I can't look down I'm scared of what I'll find I can tell you anything but what's really on my mind I can tell you anything but what's really on my mind
I print it up, I join the dots I fill in any spaces I should stumble on Here in this, trapped in this tale of love gone wrong I hold my, I hope to die Or wake to find that all of this has passed me by Here in this, trapped in this unfolding tale I'm doing my best at Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you well I'm doing my best at Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you Wishing you, wishing you well I fumble on, the days are long I tell myself I must, I must, I must be strong Here in this, trapped in this unfolding tale I'm doing my best at Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you well I'm doing my best at Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you Wishing you, wishing you well The story unfolds from your sorry lips Hitting hard against my skin Seeping down beneath the surface And setting up home therein I'm doing my best at Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you well I'm doing my best at Wishing you, wishing you, wishing you Wishing you, wishing you well I'm doing my best at
You put the smile back on my face, thank you You bring me hope that there's a chance That I might love again You awakened my weary faith thank you baby Oh, my little bit of magic You are my little bit of magic You are my little bit of light You are my little bit of magic and I wish you were here tonight You're filling up my empty heart, thank you You brought me hope to hang on to just when I thought that I was done Life was cold and life was hard thank you baby Oh, my little bit of magic You are my little bit of magic You are my little bit of light You are my little bit of magic and I wish you were here tonight I held my hand out and you took it Take me where you will I'm not sure if you knew it The way you made me feel I've got to thank you for it My little bit of magic Yeah yeah little bit of magic You are my little bit of magic You are my little bit of light You are my little bit of magic and I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here tonight
Take me back, I'll make you happy Take me back, I'll treat you like a precious thing Oh come on you know a good deal when you hear one And they don't come much better than this Take me back, I'll make you whole Take me back, I'll complete your soul So I fucked up well then sue me Anything but this freeze me out business And there's a song I've been writing in my head Can't seem to get past the opening line No need to put it down 'cause I won't forget It's ``the fat lady ain't singing yet'' Take me back, I'll make you king Take me back, I'll do anything For your comfort and your pleasure Your personal delight And there's a song I've been writing in my head Can't seem to get past the opening line No need to put it down 'cause I won't forget It's ``the fat lady ain't singing yet'' Close your eyes and count to a million In dollars if that helps When you open them I'll be waiting For you and nothing else ``The fat lady ain't singing yet'' The fat lady ain't singing yet She's putting on her party dress Standing there in the wings Don't let that fat lady sing Sing Gonna make you king Treat you like a precious thing Don't let that fat lady sing Fat lady sing Gonna make you king
Goodbye I love you Don't forget to take Your list of reasons And the heart I did not break Let alone split open Let alone live in Perhaps a deep blue bruise will mark The place where I have been And the sun will still rise Tomorrow so will I And I'll wave as I say Goodbye I love you baby goodbye I love you baby Good luck I missed you Before you'd even gone The voice of wisdom Saw to it I was forewarned That the hands of fate that guided You here to my side Would pull you back and onwards No matter how I tried And the sun will still rise Tomorrow so will I And I'll wave as I say Goodbye I love you baby goodbye I love you baby As I lay these future dreams to rest I bury hem with seeds of hope for happiness Goodbye I love you Don't forget to take Your list of reasons And the heart I did not break
