To whom it may concern
I chase my tail again
I’ll never catch it so
I know I’ll never win
And you say I’m better than
The damage that I do
But I just can’t see myself
The way that you seem to
Lying, lionheart
I’ll run again
Go on and try to catch
Me if you can
To whom it may concern
I’ve used up all my faith
Now I’m the only one
Who’s standing in my way
And you say I’m braver for
The damage I’ve been through
Wish I could see myself
The way that you seem to
Lying, lionheart
I’ll run again
Go on and try to catch
Me if you can
All of my courage, All of my courage
I have faked it
All of my courage, All of my courage
Was mistaken
All of my courage, All of my courage
I have faked it
‘Cause I’ve never been as brave as I’ve wanted to be
Lying, lionheart
I’ll run again
Go on and try to catch
Me if you can
To whom it may concern
I chase my tail again
I’ll never catch it so
I know I’ll never win
And it hurts
When your face
Keeps coming into frame
I’m in reverse
And out of place
But I can’t go back
Try and forget about the picture (I can’t forget you)
Try and forget about the picture (I know I’ve got to)
Try and forget about the picture (But I don’t want to)
Try and forget about you
And I know
It’s a shame
When we tried so hard
And I know
It’s a shame
To see the failures of a heart
When there’s no one to blame
I will play that part
So let me go
With the pain
That we can’t take back
Try and forget about the picture (I can’t forget you)
Try and forget about the picture (I know I’ve got to)
Try and forget about the picture (But I don’t want to)
Try and forget about you
You and I can reason our way out of everything
But you and I can’t find some reason now in anything
Oh if there was just a reason for, a reason for us to hold on this time
Try and forget about the picture (I can’t forget you)
Try and forget about the picture (I know I’ve got to)
Try and forget about the picture (But I don’t want to)
Try and forget about you
Better watch my back
‘Cause they’re coming
Better watch my back
‘Cause they’re waiting
With their sharpened knives
Ripe for digging
Better run – Better run
‘Cause there’s a killer in my corner
There’s a killer come to call
And I’m not getting any stronger
‘Cause they’ve been killing me in pieces after all
Better not look back
Time is wasting
Better not look back
No hesitating
‘Cause if they smell blood
They’ll be circling
Better run – Better run
‘Cause there’s a killer in my corner
There’s a killer come to call
And I’m not getting any stronger
‘Cause they’ve been killing me in pieces after all
The politics are murder
They’ll cut you down with style
The politics are murder
So shake hands and smile at
The killer in my corner
And the killer come to call
And I’m not getting any stronger
‘Cause they’ve been killing me in pieces after all
What’s killing you my darling
What’s killing you my love
What’s killing you my darling
What’s killing you my love
Happiness it came on like a wonder
Happiness was such a nice surprise
‘Cause baby you and I kept making bad news
So I have got to shut off the supply
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
I cannot waste another day with you
It’s all blue skies and red letter days
Without you
I don’t want to hang on second chances
I don’t want to have another cry
I just want to scream it from the roof tops
And I just want to write it in the sky
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
I cannot waste another day with you
It’s all blue skies and red letter days
Without you
And now that, I’ve let you go
Oh-woah, oh-woah, woah, woah
It’s true that my troubles all but leaving
I cannot waste another day with you
It’s all blue skies and red letter days
Without you
I cannot waste another day with you
It’s all blue skies and red letter days
Without you
Maybe it’s all a bluff
This happy ending sort of stuff
But when I see you smile it makes we want to try – oh
‘Cause you have some kind of face
It could light up all of outer space
And in your eyes I see another world there waiting
And I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
To give you
Hope you’ve got the time to stick around
Cause I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
My telltale heart keeps on
Beating louder than my drum
And I’m afraid it’s telling me how much I need you
I’m not at all well to do
I don’t have much to offer you
Except this little beating heart that’s bursting for you
And I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
To give you
Hope you’ve got the time to stick around
Cause I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve been feeling lately
That time is on my side
‘Cause you’ve been spending all of yours
By taking all of mine
Oh! I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
To give you
Hope you’ve got the time to stick around
Cause I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
I’ve got, I’ve got a lot of love
Annie’s on automatic
No one seems to know
She says it all went south
When they hit Mexico
18 is just too young to give yourself away
And just too old to think your world is gonna change
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like a pretty good start
Woah- oh- oh- oh- oh – oh
Annie’s on automatic
Even she can’t tell
She says it all went south
When he took her through hell
She sold the ring but holds the baggage ’cause she knows
Some things are easier to forget than to let go
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like a pretty good start
Woah- oh- oh- oh- oh – oh
All this time
She wasted by
Trying to keep it together
Oh, but she finds
Sometimes what she really needs
Is to let it, let it, go and leave it
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like she’s coming apart
Seems like a pretty good start
Woah- oh- oh- oh- oh – oh
Oh the bet was true
But I spent the cost of you
And I’ve lived for less
But it kills me to confess
That
Oo you let me down
Oo you let me down
Oh the fix was in
So you crossed the line to win
And when I call, you fold
‘Cause you can’t afford to hold
So
Oo you let me down
Oo you let me down
You get what you give
You give what you get
You get what you give
You get what you get
Oh the bet was true
But I spent the cost of you
