Well sweet heart It's been such a fantastic run this is the end of my favourite one it's top 5 for being fun well bright eyes we fought for most of the time doesn't mean that we were willing to die it's just how these things end up. When the lists are made with 5 all time moments kept in mind the readers all can see that despite all the negative things we were happy well sweet heart I'm glad that's it's finally done another year longer we'd probably end up quite spiteful and distant well bright eyes I'm sorry that we're not in love I'm sure if we keep looking we'll both find the one it's just a brand new case of chin up When the lists are made with 5 all time moments kept in mind the readers all can see that despite all the negative things we were happy with distance the only promise we could keep with a straight face and keeping face was the only way our promise stayed so tell all your best friends who end up your boyfriends that this is the way things are done then they'll know The lists are made with 5 all time moments kept in mind the readers all can see that despite all the negative things we were happy So tell all your best friends who end up your boyfriends this si the way things are done

Purple Blue (free) 02:03
Don't want to drink today or smoke my lungs away I just wanna see this night through till tomorrow Can't sleep or eat a thing I wait for the phone to ring got nothng good to do except do nothing In my head this is the best choice In my heart this is what we need I'll give us all the time then you'll see But there's this overwhelming guilt that turns to paranoia and I'm so angry at myself that I let things gets so dire But what can you do when the sky turns purple blue and you've stayed up all night in bed letting things go to your head you say Don't want to drink today or smoke my lungs away I just wanna see this night through till tomorrow Can't sleep or eat a thing I wait for the phone to ring got nothng good to do except do nothing

everybody's got connections and I'm not gonna do you Because i'll hurt the one before who did you too I'll scrimp I'll save I'll keep your ticket and I'll use it on you later on yes I'll use it on you later on When I'm dying to touch you I'm dying to fuck you I'm dying alone in my bed I'm dying to touch you I'm dying to fuck you you're already fucking with my head And I could spoon out my skull but it would still be full and I'd be eating what I already know

Giving Out The Up (free) 03:16
I'm giving up Giving out throwing forced on smiles just to hide because I'm pretty much not acting like myself I trudge along and show my teeth but really all I'm showing is defeat and I'm pissed off that I let these in my head Stay back I scream and shout I just wanna keep this to myself But don't believe a word I say especially when I talk this way I don't wanna deal with this myself So how do I let them know If I don't even realise myself? Am I just too stupid to even figure out If I could keep my head up high then maybe all of this whole thing might go away? Man, I'm just too stupid to think that that would work Stay back I scream and shout I just wanna keep this to myself But don't believe a word I say especially when I talk this way I don't wanna deal with this myself Maybe I'll wake up today? I might feel like doing something I'll probably drink tea and speak to Alice on the net Maybe I'll phone Dave and we'll get wrecked? in any case it's all just running away The more I do to take my mind of it the more it feels like that I'm a part of it I just want to feel like I'm myself I think that I will just watch Breathless another hundred times untill I'm restless Maybe fantasise I'm Jean Paul Belmondo I'll fight the law I'll flee to Paris Go and find the girl and we'll get married I'll convince her to come run away to Rome We'll make love everyday and light a Chesterfield the right way we'll smoke them untill we're old and dead I'm giving up giving out Stay back I scream and shout I just wanna keep this to myself

I've always been a boy who thought way too much of things like a touching of an arm or a simple little wink and I'm always trying hard to fall in love again but I'm just not into fucking if she's never gonna be my friend I'm trying to think back to when I was a boy who used to keep his heart right next to his toys who never thought of girls and never got depressed and never thought that love could be a game or be a test and I see nothing wrong with how I've grown up and i see everything as learning not mistakes and there's a space for more if I can find her name and I see nothing wrong with finding love again I'll always been a boy who thought way too much of things like a touching of an arm or a simple little wink and I'll always try hard to fall in love again because I'll never be into her if she's never gonna be my friend she'll never be my friend

I know we're too grown up to keep our silly little childish love and I know not that we're adults it was never gonna stay but I think we're old enough to stay in love with out the touching in the way Ring me when you reach the finish line so I can let you know what you left behind I'm like the kid who grew too big Well you're bound to mature a little faster than me its enevitable with all the resposnsibility and I'm bound to feel left behind I've always been to slow I'm not responsible for the enevitable Ring me when you reach the finish line so I can let you know what you left behind I'm like the kid who grew too big I feel I grew too quick I'm like the kid who grew too big My toys all feel so small I'm like the kid who grew too big Ring me when you reach the finish line because I'm the kid who grew too big

Sonny Skies (free) 03:51
So screw the new lease on life Because I saved my money and if I'm lucky I can buy the whole damn thing And I've got a feeling I'm right but if I wear my heart out don't panic I want the kiss of life Then I'll breathe for you I'll make my heart pump and scream your name Because that's what you do See the day through pray the night comes bursting in and keeps me up to date see the day through pray the night comes bursting in and winds my heart and keeps it ticking right untill we part So here lets make this our night because I'm feeling lucky and if we hurry we can do what ever we want And I've got a feeling I'm right but if I wear my heart out don't panic I want the kiss of life Then I'll breathe for you I'll make my heart pump and scream your name Because that's what you do See the day through pray the night comes bursting in and keeps me up to date see the day through pray the night comes bursting in and winds my heart and keeps it ticking right untill we part Here we go tonigh I can't keep my fingers to myself I have to keep them over you tonight I want us both to go I'll breathe for you I'll make my heart pump and scream your name See the day through pray the night comes bursting in and keeps me up to date

There's an I.O.U. where my heart should be it reads if not returned by the 3rd then I'm sorry you signed your name and left a kiss but I can't read it with out my glasses The ink is running dry and you've been going by a different name each week so which one's meant for me the ink is running dry There's a letter waiting home for me it's post marked from a place some where across the sea I can feel it's filled with all these words that I feel I don't deserve The ink is running dry and you've been going by a different name each week so which one's meant for me the ink is running dry It's about time that I went out my mind The ink is running dry
10.
I hope you're happy I hope you're happy and every dream is tucked away and ready to burst out I think I'm ready to show I'm ready for you and me to be the greatest things in one anothers lifes Oh I can't wait Do you still want me? to kiss and hold me to take my hand and lead me straight up stairs into your bed Because I still want you I want to hold you and make you feel like you're the only thing in the whole world I could be the boy you need and you would be the girl who want's me to be the boy who makes her happy and let's all her dreams come true I hope you're happy I hope you're happy and every dream is tucked away and ready to burst out I think I'm ready to show I'm ready for you and me to be the greatest things in one anothers lifes Oh I can't wait To be the boy you need and you would be the girl who want's me to be the boy who makes her happy and let's all her dreams come true I hope that all your dreams come true

Matters Of The Heart (free) 03:45
I can take a pill for my head but there's not one for my heart maybe the cures in my bed next to the hours I sleep? Or maybe I washed them away in the bar drinking alone's not a very good plan But it's all I've got left and Im a desperate man for a little bit of company with liquid friends inside of me I'll scream and shout help me tell me what to do now I'm not with you Now I don't want my friends to comfort me because matters of the heart should be left to those who own it see and I lost yours not long ago for not doing all the things I promised I'd do and now look where I am I'm down I'm down I'm downing more because I wanna do myself some harm and I'm pushed I'm pissed I'm pressed for luck but you don't really give a fuck I used to wear my heart just like a badge but now I hide it under my shirt just like a scar that I'm ashamed of I can beat my head all I want but it will never do me any good and I can blame my hands my mouth my heart but it's everything I haven't done and don't you drown your brown eyes over me don't you dare keep your tears in your eyes I'll be the well adjusted boy one day
