[I still cry]
[I'd be yours]
[I'm not so tough]
[World of hurt]


I still cry
I'm making flowers out of paper
While darkness takes the afternoon
I know that they won't last forever
But real ones fade away to soon

Chorus:
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry

It's just that I recall September
It's just that I still hear your song
It's just I can't seem to remember
Forever more those days are gone

Chorus:
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry

I still cry sometimes when I rememeber you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry
I'd be yours
If I were a ghost 
I'd haunt your house 
Hang out in your rafters 
You could be my mister Adams 
I could be your Casper 
I'd shake with you my afterlife of the unexplained 
Walk through your walls let you rattle my chains 
Yes I would 

And if I were a snake 
I'd be a constrictor 
Slicker than oil 
I'd entice you with my slither 
wrap you in my coils 
You could tie me in a thousand knots 
And just watch me unfold 
Hypnotize you with my stare swallow 
you whole Think about it 

Chorus: 

Welcome to my world of make believe 
Check your reality at the door 
Within my wishes and my wildest dreams 
If I could be anything 
Well baby, I'd be yours 

And if I were a bird 
I'd be an owl 
Wise beyond my years 
Watch over you each night, 
calm you of your fears 
You could set my head to spinnin' 
With those little things you do 
Like sayin' it was me you loved 
When I asked you "who" 

Repeat chorus 
I'm not so tough
I can almost read your mind, 
it's runnin' fast, 
Out of control 
You're afraid of what you'll find, 
If you get too close 
You imagine I don't care, 
You see walls that just aren't there 
You think I'm too strong to let you in 
Well that's just not fair 

Chorus: 

I'm not so tough, I'll call your bluff 
And let you see a side of me 
That wants you here 
and cries real tears 
And needs someone to love 
I'm not so tough 

I know that you've been hurt before 
Well so have I, What can you do? 
That doesn't mean you close the door 
So stop blamin' me, I don't blame you 
I'm not some ghost from your past 
The one who tore your heart in half 
I'm not her, it's not my fault 
you're holding on to that 

Repeat Chorus (3x) 
World of hurt
Day one God smiled, 
Gave us all the wisdom of a newborn child 
But by the time we take our first step 
We've already begun to forget 
What the heart knows the heart sees 
We're just as much the forest, as we are the trees 
Every little seed trying to find 
Where the light comes from 

Chorus: 

And it's a world of hurt, 
nothing works 
It's a lonely little planet made of dust and dirt 
Who'd ever think that in the midst of all this 
Something as beautiful as love exists 
And when I hold you, and you hold me 
Heaven doesn't seem like such a mystery 
Darling in a world of hurt 
You make me feel so good 

Day one of our love, 
Two heartbroken people scared to trust too much 
Oh but here it comes that feelin' again 
That every lover swears will never end 
We thought we'd been there, done that, 
But when we kissed 
We knew we'd never been here.. 
We've never done this 
All the walls come tumblin' down 
When you love someone 

Repeat chorus
