I can’t ignore all of the pain you made me feel
for the sake of being friends; you know that friendship don’t feel real
And I don’t expect that you will apologize
for the selfishness I see when I look into your eyes
We could stay friends if that’s what you wanna do
After all, you’ve always done whatever’s good for you
But I refuse to take the pain while you’re okay
No, I don’t wanna live that way
You made me sad, you made me hang my head and cry
when you told me you were thinkin’ that our love was gonna die
So what kind of lousy, spineless coward would I be
if I just lay down and let you walk all over me?
[guitar solo]
We could stay friends if that’s what you wanna do
After all, you’ve always done whatever’s good for you
But I refuse to take the pain while you’re okay
No, I don’t wanna live that way

Growing Up Slowly
04:25

Yeah, I feel -
I feel like I’m chasing a kite in the wind
And I feel -
I feel like it’s leading me toward somethin’
Baby, you
Yeah, you’ve got to understand
This is all
part of figuring out who I am
I’m growing up
slowly
Things were good til’ just this year when I had to go and face my fears
I had to go off on my own, I had to solve my problems all alone
Things got tough and tougher still and these things all tried their best to kill
What doesn’t kill you makes you strong; but they didn’t say it would take this long!
I'm growing up
I'm growing up slowly
[guitar solo]
I’m growing up, I’m growing up slowly
And I feel, I’m feelin’ kinda lonely

Withdrawal
03:12

Tell me how to just move on
I'm trying but it's taking too long
You lured me in and threw me out
It's all that I've been thinking about
I'm done
I'm done, I'm done,
I'm trying to move on
I'm out, I'm out
but you're all I think about
Tell me these are all
symptoms of withdrawal
I blinked and you found someone new
It's only been a week or two
If you're with him then I'll learn how
to tell myself you're his problem now
So go
I'm done, I'm done,
I'm trying to move on
I'm out, I'm out
but you're all I think about
Tell me these are all
symptoms of withdrawal
(symptoms ahhh, symptoms ahhh)
I'm done, I'm done,
I'm trying to move on
I'm out, I'm out
but you're all I think about

Even The Breeze

Even the breeze knows I’m sad
Even the breeze knows I’m sad
It’s the windiest summer day we’ve ever had,
‘cause even the breeze knows I’m sad
Even the sky knows I’m blue
Even the sky knows I’m blue
The big old sky was colored blue too,
but even the sky knows I’m blue
My radio knows she’s gone
My radio knows she’s gone
It’s been playing the same sad, sad song all day long
My radio knows she’s gone
Even the breeze knows I’m sad
Even the breeze knows I’m sad
This might be the worst day that I’ve ever had
‘cause even the breeze knows I’m sad

My Remedy
03:30
|

|
She picks up pieces I can’t see
And bit by bit she’s fixing me
My problem, she’s been solving it
She knows where all my pieces fit
And I say:
Oh, you are my remedy
Oh, you have become a part of me
Oh, you keep me on my feet
Oh, I think you are the one for me
[guitar solo]
She gives me strength to carry on
Inspires me to sing these songs
I just might marry her someday
And in my vows I’m gonna say
I’m gonna say:
Oh, you are my remedy
Oh, you have become a part of me
Oh, you make me feel so free
Oh, I think you are the one for me
I can’t imagine just where I’d be
If you never came and reassembled me
You don’t make my demons go away
You find a better place where I can let them stay
Oh, don’t ever leave me be
Oh, you pick up pieces I can’t see

Unglorious

I am unglorious
but that's okay
I've always been that way
No matter whatcha say;
doesn't bother me
It's who I'm meant to be
meant to be
I am ungraceful
but not disgraceful
Just a face-full
of anxious smiles
But if we chat awhile
then you'll get to see
the passion
inside of me
Don't put a bag over my face
Just don't look at my face
in the first place
[epic whistle solo]
(I'm too big
I'm too loud
Pick me out
from a crowd) [x2]
I'm too big!
I'm too loud!
Pick me out
from a crowd!
Mmmhmm
I am unglorious
but that's okay
I've always been that way
No matter whatcha say;
doesn't bother me
It's who I'm meant to be
