When the night is finally quiet
and the screaming's at it's end
The daily things are broken
as you lie alone in bed
You feel the bruises on you
and you touch your missing hair
You wonder who he's with tonight
Wonder what you're doing there
But you chose this
with open arms you held the pain
knowing all along that it would turn out just the same
and I hope the thought of us
would fasten somewhere in your brain
and you'll remember
When it all becomes too much
and you have to move again
you'll see the bridges all around you
burning end to end
(REF)
I had a dream
that you were protecting me
You destroyed me for my own good
and that all of this just turned out exactly as it should
and that everything happens for a reason

Ms. U

You let me down so hard
Try to tell myself you ain't so great
But I know that's a big fat lie
And I'm left in a perpetual state
of missing you
I'm missing you
There's nothing I can do about missing you
There's a pack of smokes from Norway
Sitting on my seat
Museum tickets in my pocket
That I didn't need to see
I can't hardly pass a bug
Or get a guitar from the space
You call a walk-in closet
In my old apartment place
You let me down so hard
Try to tell myself you ain't so great
But I know that's a big fat lie
And I'm left in a perpetual state
of missing you
I'm missing you
There's nothing I can do about missing you
I check for a message'
But there's never nothing there
Everytime it rains
I think of you out there somewhere
Oh I know it's pointless
To hope on it at all
Spring has turned to summer
And we're on the way to fall
But I'm still lost in winter
And I still feel oh so cold
I get the feeling I will stay
Until I'm very old
You let me down so hard
Try to tell myself you ain't so great
But I know that's a big fat lie
And I'm left in a perpetual state
of missing you
I'm missing you
There's nothing I can do about missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
There's nothing I can do about Ms. U

The Decision

What a funny game we play
we both glance and look away
pretending that we're both OK
without each other
I'm in this empty room
without you it is my tomb
it would be so easy
for you to come and rescue me
Now you think you're at a crossroads
but please don't linger there too long
Let me know where your heart goes
we both know where we belong
Now the time is rolling on
you ask how long till I'm gone
I don't know what to say
I can't watch you slip away
everyday

Oh Anna

I had run out of me
don't know how this could be
but then you said come out and see
all the things you've missed
I ran right up to you
just to see if this could be true
and I found you stuck me like glue
when I saw you there
oh Anna oh
oh Anna
You flew over to me
I was happy to see
all your freckles lighted by glee
where the airplanes land
You took hold of my hand
pulled me up once again
this was not part of any plan
but we're way out here
oh Anna oh
oh Anna
I had run out of me
don't know how this could be
but then you said come out and see
all the things you've missed
all the things you've missed
all the things you've missed

E EM7 E/C# EM7/C#
The glass doll would be broken
F#-11 G#-11 B/E
if she thought on us too hard
and even if the words were spoken
she'd be safe inside that jar
E F#-11 G#-11 A
Nothing can get in or out
of this lonely place she lives
so don't think to go about
with all your love to give
E F#-11
Often I just get a mind
G#-11 A
to ignore her quiet plea
E F#-11
something tells me it's a lie
C#-7 A
that we feel differently
E EM7
but then I get the same reprieve
E/C# EM7/C#
clewing that it's only me
F#-11 G#-11 B7
and everything is unresolved
She tells me all of nothing
says it better not to know
I can't see if there's something
strong enough to let her go
