All bark and no bite

You have more self love than Saddam Hoessein had
You're all bark and no bite
But I know the insides of a head like that
You're trying to tempt me to fight
Your imagination goes far beyond oblivion
I'm sure you lie about a thing or two
I know what your big mouth is living on
Your tough act is too easy to see through
No woman can turn this prince into a king
Cause you need all your love for yourself
There's no point in sharing
Funny, witty remarks only go skin deep
At some point your big mouth becomes boring

Game queen

You're gonna need that angel on your shoulder
I'm gonna make you go crazy
You're gonna think "I've got her"
But you barely know me
I'm gonna drive you insane
I'm gonna make you mad
You had no idea woman could be so vain
And it could hit you so bad
I know how to play this game
I could make you eat out of my hand
I know no guilt, conscience or shame
I'm the psychologist and you're all just men

Freezing tears

I said forever and I lied
I said I'd never give up and I tried
And I never thought I'd feel
That it's over and it's real

I called you my one and only
But you're only not the one
You're my best friend until the end
The end of what we once begun

And I never thought I'd hurt you
You're the sweetest all the way
Sometimes I think I don't deserve you
Too demanding and against the grain

I hate to say I hope you'll find her
The one that fits you like a glove
The woman that makes you forget me
The one that will bring you true love

I am crying as I write this
My tears are freezing on my skin
I hate the way it is
But I have to realize I can't change a thing

I hate to say "all for the best"

I try to tell myself
I know all about mental health
I could cry myself a headache
But it won't bring the feeling back

I know what's at the other end of the rainbow
I thought it was you, but I found myself there
I have to realize no more castles in the skies
I am in John Mayer's heartbreak warfare

I have to do it by myself, whatever it is I need
I can't depend on others for heart feed
I needed more than you were giving
And you and I haven't changed a thing

Before my thoughts go off to wander
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
I see your penny still hasn't dropped
So it's all for the best we stopped

The storm in my head

So now it comes
I realize I don't call you at night
Before I go to sleep
So now I feel
You're not the one to tell me it will be alright
And I just need to sleep on it a night
So now it boils down
You're not the sweater I cry wet when I feel bad
You're not around
It feels so strange
I can talk to you like nothing's changed
Like we're still the same
It's like you were never gone
And I still wanna say I love you when I hang up the phone
But I am on my own
I can't believe
You're not the one for me but it still feels like you should be
I still think I belong in your arms

Berry

I wish I could just go back to when we started
That Queensday I asked if you were in love with me
We went to the beach and I farted
I was relieved that you thought it was funny

I remember that sunny day at the beach
I forgot my bikini and lay down in my thong
There was barely a body part out of your reach
But still you were a gentleman all along

And our first vacation you were in charge
You spoke Spanish and led the way
You asked the way around to the cool bars
And finally left my big mouth with nothing to say

I will always be thankful we met
Four and a half years I will never regret
Four and a half years I will never forget
And it still isn't over yet

I wish I could turn the clock back around
I wish I could call you up and say we'll figure it out
I don't wanna hear you say out loud
That you knew we couldn't go through
And there won't be a rebound

I hate fate

I never hated fate so much
Why couldn't it just be you?
Why couldn't I have an everlasting crush
Our whole life through?

I never hated destiny so bad
Why couldn't you be my happily ever after?
I thought my search ended like that
And we would always be together

I will always love you
You will always be my soulmate
And I hate destiny
And I hate fate

I guess

I shattered my own dream
I had my whole life planned
We had it all, but weren't the best team
I felt taken for granted

I want the best
I will treat you like a prince
If you treat me like your princess
My time will come I guess

Living it half

So many people go through life
Living it half
They don't know they do
They don't think about their mental health

I see you smiling through life
You think this is happiness
This is only half your endorphins at work
You're settling for less

You don't see
You don't know
Look at me
I wanna show the way to go

I wanna bring intensity
Make you feel what you say
Wanna show you your real identity
Make your endorphins go all the way

Barking up the wrong tree

I could be mad
It wouldn't change a thing
I could be sad
It wouldn't change a thing
I am barking up the wrong tree
You're just not meant for me
I know that now
But when will I really see?

On the edge

I'm hanging on the edge
Of something I don't know
Crying doesn't make me feel better
I don't know how to get myself together
No one knows when you take of the lit
What's all underneath it
Neither do I

Fool's paradise

Promise me you'll never promise me something ever again
You feel obliged to act nice
But honesty is what I need
To get me out of this fool's paradise

Left and right

I know this place too well
I've been too down to tell
What's left and what's right

In a month I'll laugh about it
In a year I won't even think about it
It'll just be a memory of "one of those nights"

Now it's just anger and frustration
How did I let myself get into this situation?
But I know I'll be alright

You didn't mislead me, I did
I had a thought too much and ran off with it
But it will pass me by overnight

I won't let you

You ruined my week with your promises
You kept me thinking about sweet kisses
It would have been okay if you said nothing
Why did you have to promise me something?

I've been in your room, I've been in your bed
I've seen you shake, I've smelled your cold sweat
I've been in your life, but never in your head
So why did you promise me that?

If I see you again, I'll say
This isn't going anywhere anyway
Don't say you're sorry
You won't ever promise me again you'll call me
I won't let you

Faux Pas

I'll be the woman who'll change your life
I'll leave my fingerprints on your body
And show you your destiny
If you let me

Haven't I said this a thousand times before?
You're not the first one to withdraw
I always know how to keep it raw
Cause I am a love faux pas

Microscope (2003)

I have a microscopic view
Of everything you do
But do you take it as serious as I do?

Maybe, you just want to be friends
But underneath my microscope lens
Those words could make my world end

Maybe you're just running from my microscope
As I'm pushing you to edges you can't cope
But please don't take away my only hope
Maybe you're not my worst case scenario
Just too young to see I let myself go
Now I've got you under my microscope

Beacause every sms
That has an "X" more or less
Determines the pounding in my chest

Oh how did I let myself go?
I thought I was in control
But I run through scripts like a TV show

Maybe you're just running from my microscope
As I'm pushing you to edges you can't cope
But please don't take away my only hope
Maybe you're not my worst case scenario
Just too young to let yourself go
Now I've got you under my microscope

I thoroughly investigate
Every move you make
Do you still dare to date?

Are you scared of my magnifying glass?
Do I make you feel harassed?
Have I lost every touch of class?

Maybe you're just running from my microscope
As I'm pushing you to edges you can't cope
But please don't take away my only hope
Maybe you're not my worst case scenario
Just too young to see I let myself go
Now I've got you under my microscope

You're always the same

What's the world like from your point of view?
Is it always sunny in your head?
Because nothings ever rings through
I can admire that you're never sad
But I'm also glad I'm not like that
I am happy not to be like you
People enjoy sunshine more after rain
They realize how happy they can be after pain
You are always the same

Inspite of me

Four and a half years and this is how you react
Not even the slightest attempt to get me back
I guess I didn't really make a deep impact
Or did you think it was an impulsive act?
Did you think I would regret it and come back?
Did you think: "Oh she overreacted"
It's been three and half weeks, not one phone call
I guess I was right about you after all
If you don't dare to climb you never fall
Until I let you stumble
You only confirm you'll never learn
You only show me I was right
I need a man who is willing to fight
