What if No Doubt's "Don't Speak" exists in every parallel universe?

Nowhere

why don't you come on to me creep
instead of sitting in the corner fingering your drink
i saw it in your face
there was a flicker in your eyes
though the light in here ain't great
it don't lie
though it tries

if i seem unsteady on my feet
don't kid yourself darling
it's only the drink
and if you want me down on my knees
all you gotta do is ask me please

i've been waiting for someone like you
to climb those stairs
and slide into the room
if i come across as kinda desperate
it's 'cause you flicked my switch
i love it when the carrot
is also the stick
that's a neat trick

if i seem unsteady on my feet
don't kid yourself darling
it's only the drink
and if you want me down on my knees
all you gotta do is ask me please

chemical waste is my safe space
...

if i was any kind of man
i'd make you understand
i'd shave my head
i'd cut my nails
and show you with my hands
i'm the great unknown
i pour my own
you don't know what i am
but when you stand up tall
i climb the wall
you're the best thing i never had

Chemical Waste

Sting's Dead

Lyrics:

I'm still reeling from this issue
Of a broken heart

The healing of this tissue
Doesn't seem to start

I leap to conclusions
That aren't the truth

My pulse jumps when I see you
Maybe yours does too?

Can you hear this please?
Hear me now?
And I'll mend my heart

If I let this be
Call me out
And I'll mend my heart

Pace the room, over caffeinate
This place is hell

After a great night in Manhatten
I take the L

What's not been said's been said before

Can you hear this please?
Hear me now?
And I'll mend my heart

Lay next to me
Just for now
And I'll mend my heart

An awkward, an awkward smile
And I'm smitten again

Stay next to me, just for a while
Can this begin?

Hear this please
Hear me out
And I'll mend my heart

Start this thing
I don't care how
And I'll mend my heart

Can You Hear This Please

Lyrics:

I keep it together
The best that I can

My mind knows we're nothing
But my body can't understand

Will I ever feel the way you made me feel
As the days go by I start to doubt this all was real

Had a dream again
Your face was blurry

I can't go back on what was said
I can't erase these thoughts in my head
Slowly I feel we're movin on
Or is this the new normal?

Wash you out of my mind
Every chance that I get

If it's in an app
Or if it's in the porn that I can't quit, no

There's no chance to win
Smooth brain is setting in

How can we fight what I know was right
We should have been

Lock it and load
It's just another wasted day online

I can't go back on what was said
I can't erase these thoughts in my head
Slowly I feel we're movin on
Or is this the new normal?

The good things that happened
They turned to bad

Thought I would call you
Make myself a little less

I can't go back on what was said
I can't erase these thoughts in my head
Slowly I feel we're movin on
Or is this the new normal?

New Normal

Lyrics:

So I’m gonna die alone and lonely
At least I’ll never have to deal with heartache again

Another drink another nervous heartbeat
I think I might lose my mind, but I don’t know when

And it’s just as well
For as far as I can tell
I won’t be getting better any time soon

Every day is rain
And it’s driving insane
How I keep letting
Some girl ruin my day

So here’s my master plan
I’ll erase all that I can
Of any sign of love
Remaining in my life

Cause I don’t want or need it
And I am giving up
Cause any time I find I’m blue
It can be traced back to you
And I don’t want or need it
And I am giving in
Cause when it comes down to it
If I’m feeling like this
I’d rather have my heart not exist
Than have to get fixed

No more cheating, pain, or stupid break ups
Or any time she said that I just don't understand

No more searching for that perfect someone
There’s no such thing and frankly I just don’t give a damn

See all those times I failed
They really knocked me off the rails
And I’m on a course headed to my doom

I never could get it right
Though I tried a thousand times
My insecurities clouded up my sight

But all those times I was upset
Help me never to forget
Why I've banished love 
From messing up my life

Cause I don’t want or need it
And I am giving up
Cause any time I find I’m blue
It can be traced back to you
And I don’t want or need it
And I am giving in
Cause when it comes down to it
If I’m feeling like this
I’d rather have my heart not exist
Than have to get fixed

Don’t pity me
I’m sure that this is what I want

Cause I don’t want or need it
And I am giving up
Cause any time I find I’m blue
It can be traced back to you

And I don’t want or need it
And I am giving up
Cause any time I find I’m blue
It can be traced back to you
And I don’t want or need it
And I am giving in
Cause when it comes down to it
If I’m feeling like this
I’d rather have my heart not exist
Than have to get fixed

Don't Want Or Need It

I'm only happy when I'm asleep
I'm only happy when I can dream
If I close my eyes just let me be
'Cause I'm only happy when I'm asleep

No more my days spent worrying
No more my life wasted wishing
I tried but I know it's too late for me
'Cause I'm only happy when I'm asleep

The weight of the world never fails to bring me down
It's far too much to handle
But when I'm asleep I can do anything
Be with anyone even if for just one night

I'm only happy when I'm asleep
I'm only happy when I can dream
If I close my eyes just let me be
'Cause I'm only happy when I'm asleep

The weight of the world never fails to bring me down
It's far too much to handle
But when I'm asleep I can do anything
Be with anyone even if for just one night

I'm only happy when I'm asleep
I'm only happy when I can dream
If I close my eyes just let me be
'Cause I'm only happy
I'm only happy when I'm asleep

I'm Only Happy When I'm Asleep

I've had my share of fails
This feeling never quells
One drink turns into ten
Then I'm at it again

You say your heaven sent
I've been to hell and back
Looks like we're a better match than I thought

Could it be that I've been duped to long to ever realize?

I think I need some time alone
We'll speak again when the world falls apart
And if you want closure let's close this now
We both live happily ever after with someone else

I'm sorry for what I did to you
I'm trying to give my best to you

I saw your face on my machine
You're older but you're still a dream
You were standing next to him
What's his name... Michael?
He'll never hear this anyway

You text me all these random things
Like "I'm done waiting for your ring"
I guess two kids and half a decade of marriage
Put you right over the edge

But I still dream of what life would be
If you'd gone to U C S D
And studied the algae by me
We'd be happy we'd be free

If you've got the time to lean on me then
You've got the time to clean out all your shit
I understand there's still so much to say
But let a year go by you'll see it's better left this way

I'm sorry for what I did to you
I'm trying to give my best to you

How to Get to Sesame Screet

Lyrics:

I'm a mess when
We're not talkin'
I love it when we fight 'cause it means
You are focused on me

Can we go out?
Like we used to?
Like it's the first night, I'll prove to you
I'm worth your time?

Take me back
Yeah
Baby back to the start
Yeah
Back before my heart
Yeah
Swelled and burst every day like it did last year

Are you tongue tied?
Cause we talk less?
Have you noticed severance as we
Watch Apple TV?

So what's the point of
Not pretending
That there's still a spark between us
When we look this cute?

Take me back
Yeah
Baby back to the start
Yeah
Back before my heart
Yeah
Swelled and burst every day like it did last year

And if you
Want this
Let's go back to basics
Re-apply that lipstick
You used to like and I'll wear that old henley

I'm a mess when we're not talkin
I'm a mess when we're not talkin

Take me back
Baby please just take me back
Before we let this fall apart
Maybe you and I can restart?
