I’m sure you coulD tell me a millIon reasons why i’m just wasting my time i coulD tell myself to draw aNother line and sTay on my side this time but i’m Wishing we were living in A parallel uNiverse where you're more Than a blessing in this curse it would just be me and You with nOthing else to lose in a parallel Universe i could learn To ignOre the difference in the patHs we're on and thE reAsons why this is wRong you could Tell me your dreams i know tHey won't match mine but stIll the starS align in your eyes but i’m wishing we were living in a parallel universe where yOu're more than a blessing in this curse it would just be me aNd you with nothing else to losE in a parallel universe

i heard that you were on your own tonight well that’s a coincidence ‘cause So was i and i asked if yOu needed some no good company you said “i might do if you happen to be free” so i put on the dress you liked and i wore my best perfume one foot alReady out the dooR, i’m on my way to you but plans they must have changed or You never really mean a word you say ‘cause i’m all Dressed up with nowhere to go not ready to go back to sleeping on my own And it doesn’t make any sense to pretend it’s alright for you or me to be lonely tonight lonely tonight Now I’m back here in this empty bed thoughts of you run around in my head and you say “do you need somE help killing time?” i said “i might do depends what you have in mind” so i put my red Lipstick on forget what i know about right and wrong i’m already too far gone but you must have changed your mind ‘cause here i am hanging on to “maybe next time” ‘cause i’m all dressed up with nowhere to go not ready to go back to Lleeping on my own and it doesn’t make any sense to pretend it’s alright for you or me to be lonEly tonight lonely tonight lonely tonight i’m all dressed up with nowhere to go been waiting for you to come and take me home it doesn’t make any sense and i know it’s not alright but i’d give anything to be lonely with you tonight lonely tonight lonely tonight i heard that you were on your own tonight

Run Away 04:00
there’s a tornado on the horizon line everybody’s saying It’s all in my mind but i can see the walls they’re falling Down and don’t you think that sky looks clOse to the grouNd so i will sTand where no one sees i’ll be a gust of Wind running away with the breeze but i’ll always be Afraid of what i did or what i didN’t say and i don’t want you To go but i don’t know how To ask yOu to stay i run away oooh i run away i’ll never Be invisiblE but if i waS then maybe i’d be invinCible when the wAlls come closing in on a cRowdEd room without you the air is way too thin so i will stanD where nO one knows i’ll be a ghost underneath the shadows but i’ll always be aFraid of what i did or what i didn’t saY and i don’t want you to gO but i don’t know how to ask you to stay i rUn away oooh i run away i run away

don't look at me with that look In your eyes like you don't see where the future lies The storm Clouds have gathered 'round waiting foR the wrong time to pour themselves out you can't break a heart that Isn't made for you you can't lEt go if it wasn't yours to holD onto but still I'm falling, falling, falling apart but this can't be, this can't be, this can't be a broken heart don't give yourself to me if you're gonna take yourself aWay don't open up the door and let me in if you can't stay now the sky's falling down on the staRs In your eyes and I sugarcoat The truth but I can still taste the lies you can't break a heart that isn't made for you you caN't let Go if it wasn't yours To hold onto but still i'm falling, falling, falling apart but this can't be, tHis can't be, this can't be a broken heart It's such a waste of a wrong time and place if I'm never gonna get to See you again you can't break a heart that isn't made for you you can't let go if it wasn't yours to hold onto but still i'm falling, falling, falling apart but this can't be, this can't be, this can't be a broken heart this can't be, this can't be, this can't be a broken heart
