I know it’s not just in my head
I am reminded every morning I roll out of bed
As I add another day to the time that you’ve been away
Baby was it something that I said
Don’t try to tell me nothing’s changed
You used to crumble at just the mention of my name
Now everything’s a mess
I’ve only got my best guess as to why you’re so intent upon agony
Your soul’s an ocean away
You’re right beside me but something separates
And I’d walk across a desert in the middle of July
To make up some of this distance
So go ahead and do what you do best as in
Running from every good thing that comes along
Did you think I wouldn’t mind if you forgot to say goodbye
Pick up the line, and tell me what went wrong
What went wrong…
It gets colder when you’re gone
Your smell on my pillow can only linger for so long
And dreams can’t sustain my hunger for the real thing
I’m starving for the very thing that’s poisoned me
Your soul’s an ocean away
You’re right beside me but something separates
You know you’re so far away
And I need you to tell me you’re coming home to stay
Cause I’d walk across a desert in the middle of July
To make up some of this distance

Joy Ride

I don't care what you call it
Choking, drowning, falling
All I know is I am through with this
You took me for a ride
In the fastest car you could find
Now I'm crashing and burning while you walk away
You'd call and I'd come running just like a child
Looks like you've had your fun and I was only good for so many miles
You took me for a joy ride and abandoned me when you were through
You took me for a joy ride, it was never that good for me
Baby was it good for you?
Should've known when I saw you
You're a fast track to bad news
You've got a need for speed and you drove me straight into the ground
This is a dead end, the end
Go find your latest thrill
If you won't treat me right them I'm trading you for someone who will
You took me for a joy ride and abandoned me when you were through
You took me for a joy ride, it was never that good for me
Baby was it good for you?
Oh the damage is done but I'm still breathing
Oh the damage is done but my heart's still beating
Heart's still beating
You took me for a joy ride and abandoned me when you were through
You took me for a joy ride, it was never that good for me
It was never that good for me
Baby was it good for you?

Lovesick
03:24

I've got a feeling that something just ain't right
My body's aching and I can't sleep through the night
Feels like I'm coming down with some kind of disease
That's making me restless and weak in the knees
Talked to my doctor but there's nothing he can do
Cause baby I'm lovesick, lovesick over you
My hands are shaking and my skin is burning up
Seems to have something to do with your sweet touch
Talked to my doctor but there's nothing he can do
Cause baby I'm lovesick, lovesick over you
My condition worsens every day
Feels like I'm dying, oh I'm dying
In the best possible way
They think I'm crazy, I'm not acting like myself
Nothing can save me, you're a hazard to my health
But I'm not looking, no, I'm not looking for no cure
Cause this is the kind of pain that I'm willing to endure
Talked to my doctor but there's nothing he can do
Cause baby I'm lovesick, lovesick over you
My condition worsens every day
Feels like I'm dying, oh I'm dying
In the best possible way
I should be running, running for my life
Cause yours is the kind of drug that really clouds the mind
But my feet are planted and there's nothing I can do
Cause baby I'm lovesick
Baby I'm lovesick
Baby I'm lovesick, oh I'm lovesick over you

Over and Done With
03:30

I wanna tell you that I don't need you
And I wanna mean it
Wish I could get back the time I spent
Thinking that this is as good as it gets
I've gotta put myself in touch
With the part of me that doesn't love you quite so much
I'm gonna find me someone new
Someone who makes me happy that I'm not with you
Get it over and done with
It won't be painless but at least you can make it quick
Get it over and done with
Cause it just ain't worth it to have you bringing me down
Down, down, down
You call me up in the middle of the night
Sometimes I think it's just to hear me cry
I'm not looking for sympathy
But it's loving you, it's loving you that cripples me
Get it over and done with
It won't be painless but at least you can make it quick
Get it over and done with
Cause it just ain't worth it to have you bringing me
Bringing me down
So tell me you don't want me
I can take it don't you worry
Cause I don't need you
I don't need you and I mean it
Get it over and done with
It won't be painless but at least you can make it quick
Get it over and done with
Cause I don't deserve this
And I'm tired of feeling down down down

He'll Never Be You
03:48

He says all the right things at the right times
Brings me flowers cause it’s Monday
He treats me like a princess, better yet a queen
Everybody tells me he’s perfect
But he’ll never be right for me
Cause there’s one thing he’ll never be
He’ll never be you
He’ll never be you
He’s the guy you bring home to your mama
He goes out of his way to impress
He calls me baby, treats me like a lady
But he doesn’t have the touch that makes me crazy
But he’ll never be right for me
Cause there’s one thing he’ll never be
He’ll never be you
He’ll never be you
He may be tall, dark and handsome
But I prefer that you’re a blue-eyed blonde
He never makes me wait, not a minute late
But I would wait a lifetime just to be back in your arms
But he’ll never be right for me
Cause there’s one thing he just can’t be
He’ll never be you
He’ll never be you
He thinks he has me to himself
But my heart belongs to somebody else
I’ve tried but can’t convince myself
He’ll never be you
He’ll never be you
No he’ll never be, no he’ll never be
You
No he’ll never be you
