Don't Tell Me

You held my hand and walked me home,
I know, Why you gave me the kiss
you're something like this, that made me go oh-oh
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Cause it wasnt enough to take up some of my love, cause a shortage of trust

Did I not tell you, that I'm not like that
you're the one who gives it all away, yeahh oh

Did you think that i was gonna give it up to you, this timeeeee
did you think that there was something i was gonna do then cryyy
don't try to tell me what to do, dont try to tell me what to say
you're better of that way

Don't think that you're charmed in the fact
that you're arm is now around my neck
Won't get you in my pants
I'd have to kick you're ass
and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop,
Thought I liked you alot
But i'm really upset (really upset)
Get out of my head
Get out of my bed,
yeah, thats what I said

Did I not tell you, that I'm not like that
you're the one who throws it all awaaaaayy

Did you think that i was gonna give it up to you, this timeeeee
did you think that there was something i was gonna do then cryyy
don't try to tell me what to do, dont try to tell me what to say
you're better of that way, yeah

this guilt trip that you put me on won't mess me up,
I've done no wrong, and the thoughts of you and me have gone awayeeayyayyy

Did you think that i was gonna give it up to you, this timeeeee
did you think that there was something i was gonna do then cryyy
don't try to tell me what to do, dont try to tell me what to say
you're better of that way
I'm better of alone anyway

He Wasn't

There's not much going on today
I'm really bored it's getting late
What happened to my Saturday
Monday's coming the day I hate

Kórus

sit on my bed alone
Staring at the phone

He wasn't what I wanted
What I thought, no
He wouldn't even open up the door
He never made me feel like I was special
He isn't really what I'm looking for

This is when I start to bite my nails
And clean my room when all else fails
I think it's time for me to bail
This point of view is getting stale

Kórus

Uh ah uh uh uh ah uh ah
Uh ah uh uh uh ah uh ah

Na na na na na
We've all got choices
Na na na na
We've all got voices
Na na na na na
Stand up make some noise
Na na na na
Stand up make some noise

Kórus (2x)

Like I was special
'Cause I was special

Uh ah uh uh uh ah uh ah
Uh ah uh uh uh ah uh ah
Na na na na na

My Happy Ending

oh oh, oh oh, So much for my happy ending,
oh oh, oh oh, So much for my happy ending,
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

Kórus

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, so much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
(they say)
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
(so are they)
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
(all the shit that you do)
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

Kórus

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending


You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, so much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, so much for my happy ending

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
oh oh,...

Nobody's Home

I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again

What's wrong What's wrong now
Too many too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

Kórus

She wants to go home
But nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside
No place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside

Open your eyes
And look outside
Find the reason why
You've been rejected
Now you can't find
What you've left behind

Be strong be strong now
Too many too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

Kórus

Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's falling behind
She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's falling from grace
She's all over the place yeah

Kórus

She's lost inside lost inside
She's lost inside lost inside

Slipped Away

Na na
Na na na na na
I miss you
I miss you so bad
I don't forget you
Oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

Kórus

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same
Oh
Na na
Na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
I hope you can hear me
Cuz I remember it clearly

Kórus

I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened you passed by
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back

Kórus

Na na
Na na na na na
I miss you

Losing Grip

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away, here's what I have to say

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided...

Kórus:
Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You, ya need to listen
I'm startin to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you placed beside you
To take somebody's place
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't okay

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided...

Kórus:
Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You, ya need to listen
I'm startin to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care
Then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

Why should I care
Cause weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care
Then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

Complicated

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're someone else
where you are and where it's sad you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become

Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you

Sk8er Boy

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?

He wanted her, she'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends stuck up there nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

5 years from now she sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on TV guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin up MTV.

She calls up her friends they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along and stands in the crowd
looks up at the man that she turned down.

He was a skater boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamin on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
[2x]

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See that man that boi could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy and i'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love haven't you heard
How we rock each others world

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
[2x]

I'm With You

I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Bridge:
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home

Kórus:
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
Cause nothing's going right
And everthing's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Bridge:
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home

Kórus:
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you

Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah Yeah..

Kórus:
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you

Unwanted

All they did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

Kórus:
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me out
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
you won't talk to me
It hurts until I'm wanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

Kórus:
Make me go away

I tried to be long
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
Its been so long
I write this song
That's what it takes

Kórus 2-szer:
Make me go away
Make me go away

My World

Please tell me what is taking place
Cause I can't seem to find a trace
Guess it must have got erased somehow
Probably cause I always forget
Everytime someone tells me their name
It's always gotta be the same
(in my world)

Never wore cover up
Always beat the bois up
Grew up in a 5,000 population town
Made my money by cutting grass
Got fired by a fried chicken ass
All in a small town, Napanee

You know I always stay up without sleeping
And think to myself
Where do I belong forever
In whose arms, the time and place

Kórus:
Can't help if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

I never spend less than an hour
Washing my hair in the shower
It always takes 5 hours to make it straight
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids
Though it may take a friggen day
There's nothing else better to do anyway

When you're all alone in the lands of forever
Lay under the milky way
On and on it's getting too late out
I'm not in love this time this night

Kórus:
Can't help if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

(la la la la)

Take some time
Mellow out
Party it up
But don't fall down
Don't get caught
Sneak out of the house

Kórus:
Can't help if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world
[2x]

Nobody's Fool

Step up!...
Fall back, take a look at me
And you'll see I'm for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to ya
Let me know and I'll go
Cause I flow better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be, honestly
Cause creativity could never bloom in my room
I'd throw it all away before I'd lie
So dont call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I got a backbone stronger than yours

La La La... yeah

Kórus:
If your trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see im not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If your trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try

Don't know you think you know me like yourself
But i fear that you're only telling me what i want to hear
But do you give a damn?
Understand that i can't not be what i am
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
It's not a simple here we go not so soon
I might have fallen for that when i was 14
And a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean

La La La.... oh... yeah

Kórus:
If your trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see im not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If your trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try

oh oh oh oh...
Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize, realize

Things are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you
I don't need your doubt in me

Kórus:
If your trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see im not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If your trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try, try...

La La... yeah yeah..
La La... yeah yeah..
La La... yeah yeah.. oh
Would you be laughing out loud
If I'm playing to my own crowd?
Try, go ahead and try

Naked

I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that's gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn't really matter
How I feel inside
This life is like a game sometimes

Then you came around me
The walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me
And keep me from my fears
I'm unprotected
See how I've opened up
Oh, you've made me trust, cause

Kórus:
I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked around you
And it feels so right

I'm trying to remember
Why I was afraid
To be myself
And let the covers fall away
Guess I never had someone like you
To help me, to help me fit
In my skin

Kórus:
I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked around you
And it feels so right

I'm naked
Oh oh yeah
Does it show?
Yeah, I'm naked
Oh oh, yeah yeah...
Oh oh..
I'm naked around you
Does it show?

I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna
You're gonna see right through
You're gonna see right through
Oh yeah yeah

I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna see right through, baby
