Lyrics

Got kids all over the god damn place
I sure don't have your name but I probably have your face
Ooh oooh ooh, ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh, ooh ooohh
Never really took the time to get to know your daughter, and
Now you're gone and I still don't have a father 
Ooh oooh ooh, ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh, ooh ooohh
Lost something that I knew I never had, well
I'm still here so I might as well be glad
Ooh oooh ooh, ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh, ooh ooohh

[chorus]
You're just a chapter in my storybook
And when I turn the page you don't get a second look
Ooh oooh ooh, ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh, ooh ooohh

Everybody said you weren't good enough for me, but I
I was blind to your inadequacies
Ooh oooh ooh, ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh, ooh ooohh
Gave me a ring and then you broke my heart so I
Learned to sing cause I knew it'd tear you apart
Ooh oooh ooh, ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh, ooh ooohh
You're the one who cheated but you called me a slut
Now you date a gymnast as for me, well, for me I'm free
Ooh oooh ooh, ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh, ooh ooohh

[chorus, repeat]

Lyrics

And I try
To see the colors in your face
But I lie
So you don't see the truth in mine
And I find
That we're moving too fast, there's no way this can last, but
I feel just like I'm falling in love, oooh ooh
Keep it on the low for now
Can't believe I'm even here right now
Feels like I'm falling from grace
Can't make no more mistakes...

And I try
But you never seem to see what's inside
When you drive I'm just along for the ride
But you don't know me, and it doesn't seem like
Anything will turn out right
So I'll just stay out of sight
Out of sight and out of mind
Just need some time to find what's really mine..

And I try
To see the colors in your face
But I lie
So you don't see the truth in mine
And I find
That we're moving too fast, there's no way this can last, but
I feel just like I'm falling in love, oooh ooh
And I don't know what to do
I just can't be with you
Lord knows that I tried
And I cried
But I lied.

I could tell lies, but you've
Seen right through my eyes, and
I give you away when I 
Want you to stay

Lyrics

I was told too
Long ago a-
Bout the story
Of my mother
And she fell down and I got up a-and
Just one look and it was stuck
But for you-oo-ooo-ooo
But for you we can't go that far

Don't you tell me
Lies so I'll see
Time is a puzzle with
Pieces a plenty
And you told me you'd be worth it one day but you
Took too long for me to stay anyway
So wait just a minute
Wait just a minute and I'll go

I've known you for many years but 
You seem to have the wrong idea
It's too hard to make a decision, but
I can't stick with your superstitions, so
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay?
Why don't you go and leave me alone?
Where will you go, where will you go?
What will I do all on my own?

I've been gone too long
I know I was wrong
I couldn't tell you no lies, I can't let you go, oh no
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay?
Why don't you go and leave me alone?
Where will you go, where will you go?
What will I do all on my own?

Lyrics interpreted from a dream

Our worlds collide with second chances
And time slows down for your sideways glances
I find my strengths in your weaknesses but your fears aren't any of my business

But no
Matter how hard I try my heart will never feel so full
Cause you'll always say I'm unremarkable
But it's not 
Too late 
To be free
No it's not
It's not too late for me

You look at me with your empty eyes
But I wish you'd see through my sad disguise
I can't find comfort in your crooked grin, so
Dare I tell you all my sins?

So why
Must I always seek the things you never expect of me
Cause I'll never be the woman you want me to be
But it's not 
Too late 
To be free
No it's not
It's not too late for me

Our worlds collide with second chances
And time slows down for your sideways glances
I find my strengths in your weaknesses but your fears aren't any of my business

But no
Matter how hard I try my heart will never feel so full
Cause you'll always say I'm unremarkable
But it's not 
Too late 
To be free
No it's not
It's not too late for me
No it's not
It's not too late for me

Unremarkable

Life is messy

Lyrics

Forever sweeping
Forever sweeping the mess in my life
Forever sweeping
Forever sweeping the mess of my life
Forever sweeping, sweeping, and sweeping
Sweeping, sweeping, sweeping, hmm

Did you know that dust is made of dead skin
What you breathing in?
Did you know that dust is made of dead skin
What you breathing in?
Did you know that dust is made of dead skin
What you breathing in?
Did you know that dust is made of dead skin
Keep breathing it in

Forever sleeping
Forever sleeping away my days
Forever sleeping
Forever sleeping my life away
Forever sleeping, sleeping, and sleeping
Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, hmm

Forever sweeping
Forever sweeping the mess in my life
Forever sweeping
Forever sweeping the mess of my life
Forever sweeping, sweeping, and sweeping
Sweeping, sweeping, sweeping, hmm.

Torn between my love of you and everything I have to lose
Torn between my love of you and everything I have to lose
Lord knows that I can't stay true so I shouldn't get close to you
Torn between my love of you and everything I have to lose.
