[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
