tired of the freaks and the colored lights

get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
that's what you get for waking up in Vegas

I'm fine, but I'm not ok

you know that point in your life
when you realize the house you grew up in
isn't really home anymore?
all of a sudden, even though you have a place to put your shit
that idea of home is gone
it's like you're homesick for a place that doesn't even exist

but they made the weather
then they stand in the rain saying
"shit, it's raining"

where do we begin from this unhappy ending?
where do we begin after all that we've done?

but I'm not every girl
and I don't need the world to validate me

everything keeps losing my trust

how do we begin to say I forgive you
and how do we begin to repair this family affair

never doubt, never look back

and I'll get well, you'll see
cause you're all I have
we're a family

same old story, not much to say
hearts are broken everyday

what I really meant to say, is I'm dying here inside
and I miss you more each day
and baby, here's the truth:
I'm still in love with you

is there ever enough love?

she was an American girl, raised on promises
she couldn't help thinking there was a little more life
somewhere else

I could believe more then

& I don't think you meant it when you said you couldn't love me

we can pray for sunny weather,
but that won't stop the rain

was it something I said
or didn't say this time?

I thought that time was on our side

I tried to hold on but it hurts too mcuh
I tried to forgive but it's not enough

this is the last thing that I need right now.

you're on your own

and I say "baby, yes I feel stupid to call you but I'm lonely
and I thought if I kissed the way you do, you'd feel it too."

I just poured my heart out, there's bits of it on the floor
so I pick it up and call him back for more

I don't want to be that call at four o'clock in the morning

I don't know who you're talking to
with such fucking disrespect

normally I'm so strong

I don't believe you when you say
you don't need me anymore

I've felt fire and I've been burned
but I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned

I don't remember what we're fighting for

and I can't quite pinpoint where it left or what for
love always steps lightly away from the door

making promises life won't let us keep

please don't open your mouth, my dear
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
there's no need to explain, it's perfectly clear

don't forget to win first place

you've got your problems, I've got mine
let's learn to cope, one drink at a time

it's awful to have to question someone's motives

forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry

one of these days, we're all gonna reach our limits

if love was enough, you'd stay

but lately I'm sorry I can't hold a smile

everyone has a finger
but no one can point me towards the light

truth be told, I miss you
truth be told, I'm lying

you've been the only thing that's right
in all I've done

I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserve
I guess I should've been more like her

don't tell me your troubles, I've got enough of my own
be thankful for living, drink up and go home

he's the kinda flawless I wish I could be

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around

I took a chance, I took a shot
and you might think I'm bulletproof
but I'm not

so baby drive slow
'til we run out of road

and you've got your share of secrets
and I'm always the last to know
and now you're asking me to listen
cause it's worked every time before
but you don't have to call me anymore

I'M NOT A PRINCESS
& AND THIS AIN'T A FAIRYTALE

back then I swore I was gonna marry him
someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine
and she gave everything to a boy who changed his mind
cause when you're fifteen and someone tells you they love you
you're gonna believe them

this ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

he's the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart

you probably don't want to hear that tomorrow's another day
but I promise you you'll see the sun again

I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
and you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all
and you flashback to when we said forever and always
