Draw the curtains every morning
And I never really noticed the change
So it must have happened slowly
Open my dollhouse up
And you've chipped all the paint away
Silently shadow
Observing you day by day
The marble halls echo
With laughter from better days
Promise I know your pain
You've worn yourself away
You try to forget it, but it won't make a difference
You lost a part you can't replace
So you hide out in your safe room
I hate to watch you, I know she haunts you
You try to forget it, your better half missing
You I miss you, you know I miss her too
Let me join you, in your safe room
And the doors keep on closing
And my room's getting smaller
As you lay out the pattern
For me to follow
I thought I heard your voice
I tried to run back home
A freshly furnished house
Is just your way to cope
Old habits dying hard
They're going up in smoke
The dust has settled
Waking up on the floor alone
Promise we're one and the same
You've worn yourself away
You try to forget it, but it won't make a difference
You lost a part you can't replace
So you hide out in your safe room
I tried to follow, your eyes have hollowed out
You stare at the ceiling, waiting for meaning
You stare right through me, you stare right through me ohhh
Let me join you, in your safe room
Now the plaster is fading
Behind doors that you locked
Insulated but still so cold
Dust in the kitchen
Captures my fingerprints
Designer clothing
Covers the wounds I missed
Follow the patterns
But maybe I'm not convinced

Ba-bada-ba-ba
Ba-bada-ba-ba, hm
Ba-bada-ba-ba
I've started to build my life in a fortress
A mountain of pillows to keep me safe
My comforter sealing off the entrance
A beautiful lonely place
Oh what are the odds
A tremor from your wake would shift the ground
Reinforce the walls
Clock ticking as my time is running out
I hear that sound
Ba-bada-ba-ba
Ba-bada-ba-ba, hm
Ba-bada-ba-ba
Ba-bada-ba-ba, hm
Ba-bada-ba-ba
Ba-bada-ba-ba, hm
I wish that I spent more time being honest
When telling the truth could still feel safe
But expectations killed that option
My fingers were crossed anyway
It's always one step forward, ooh
Then it's two steps back
I fall right off a cliffside
If I break my cover
You could break it all in an instant
Oh what are the odds
My hands would be the ones to tear this down
Blankets raining down
I'm drowning as the cloth covers my mouth
There's no sound
Ba-bada-ba-ba
Ba-bada-ba-ba, hm
Ba-bada-ba-ba
Ba-bada-ba-ba, hm
Ba-bada-ba-ba
Ba-bada-ba-ba, hm
So tell me oh, what are the odds
Oh what are the odds
Oh what are the odds
Oh what are the odds
Your voice, so far away from inside
Your message sinks and drowns in the knitted tide
Cause what kind of person would I be
If I let you hurt me
If I let you see into my room
The walls would break in an instant
Oh what are the odds
Oh what are the odds
Oh what are the odds
Oh what are the odds

Designer sheets designer clothes
Align my teeth and break my nose
Define my cheeks and make them glow
The cover girl you'd like to know
With a five course meal, a five star home
You still can't spend a dime alone
So don't even try, oh
No your money can't buy my happiness
My balcony can't get much taller
Used to almost reach the ground
You're not around to catch your daughter now
Would I even make a sound?
I crossed a line again
You drew it just out of my view
Oh, I tried and tried again
But I could never fill those shoes
Designer sheets designer clothes
Align my teeth and break my nose
Define my cheeks and make them glow
The perfect girl you'd like to show
With a five course meal, a five star home
You still can't spend a dime alone
So don't even try, oh
No your money can't buy my happiness
If there's a little truth to every lie
Then I hope that it comes true
Cause the most convincing web you ever spun
Was saying "I love you"
And if I always need to justify
Why I act the way I do
Then my words are just as fabricated
As this product covered view
Designer sheets designer clothes
Align my teeth and break my nose
Define my cheeks and make them glow
Is that the girl you'd like to know?
With a five course meal, a five star home
You still won't share your time alone
So don't even try, oh
No I don't think I'll find my happiness
No I don't think I'll find my happiness

All of my love
All of my love
Wake up in early morning
Run my fingers through my hair
Feel the coolness of the air
Lungs expanding with despair
One thing I know for certain
They don't know you like I know you
Have the scars to prove I love you
But I can't say that I trust you
Can I trust you?
So why do we fight into the morning?
Why do you cover up the blinds?
Hard to keep secrets in the daylight
Hard to keep far away tonight
Said you could let out all your anger
Long as your words don't match your hand
Put on a smile for the neighbors
Never knew love could hurt so bad
One eye won't seem to open up
Guess I'll sleep a little more
Till I hear you close the door
I can breathe a little more
One thing I know I know for certain
Love's a pain without a cure
Have the scars to prove I'm yours
You said no one else would want me
So do you want me?
So why do we fight into the morning?
Why do you cover up the blinds?
Hard to keep secrets in the daylight
Hard to keep far away tonight
Said you could let out all your anger
Long as your words don't match your hand
Put on a smile for the neighbors
Never knew love could hurt so bad
Throwing my baggage out the window
I'll keep my eyes pointed ahead
No matter how many times I blame you
I still feel the weight press down
I tried my best to save you
But I need to be safe too
You shouldn't be crying in the morning
You had your chance to say goodbye
Had to keep secrets in the daylight
Got to stay far away tonight
You can scream 'bout how you loved her
How your daughter drives you mad
Sorry I couldn't be my mother
Never knew love could hurt, oh love could hurt so bad

Hear my call in the rain as I drown in luxury
If I fall would somebody be there to comfort me
Oh mirror mirror on the wall
It seems to me you've gotten taller
Cause my figure's not the same as how I felt it
I'm even thinner now
Who is this impressing?
I've always been the only one in the reflection
Should it hurt to force a smile every morning?
Is it too much to ask to be consoled?
Dig up secrets I've been ignoring
I might be the richest girl, but where's my gold?
So, hear my call in the rain as I drown in luxury
If I fall would somebody be there to comfort me
I saw you down below, and I watched from the balcony
So enthralled, heard them say that's as close as I'll ever be
To your luxury
Would you still respect me
After I told you my story
Could you live in harmony
With someone so out of tune
Then maybe in our pictures
I'd smile with my eyes
A sight so unfamiliar
I'd hardly recognize myself inside the mirror
If I stood there with a smile
With somebody standing at my side
Who hears my call in the rain as I drown in luxury
If I fall would somebody be there to comfort me
We spoke there all alone and I basked in the company
So enthralled, promise that was the closest I'll ever need
It's a luxury

You're usually not my type
You seemed so cold to me before
But last night my mind played a joke on me
And now I'm laughing all alone
You told me something in my dream again
It's already faded from my memory, oh
Lingering colors where my face felt warm
And now a part of me wants to go see you in my dreams
Cause when I close my eyes
It's on the tip of my tongue
Can almost make it out, oh
Trying to hide the shame
When I read those lips
My mind starts drawing blanks
But now I'm wide awake, oh
I wonder what you'll say
Point blank you shot through my heart
A pain I've never felt before
A desperation to fill the void
A hollow feeling in my core
I wanna live that perfect shoujo dream
Oh a perfect shoujo dream
Every tiny little detail
Replicate it to a T
I'm living a perfect shoujo dream
Oh a perfect shoujo dream
Don't wake me up now cause I never wanna leave, ohhh
Cause when I close my eyes
It's on the tip of my tongue
Can almost make it out, oh
Trying to hide the shame
When I read those lips
My mind starts drawing blanks
But now I'm wide awake, oh
I wonder what you'll say
A perfect shoujo dream
Oh a perfect shoujo dream
Don't wake me up now cause I never wanna leave
Oh, fabricated feelings
Wear them on my sleeve
What a painful memory
Cause you'll never see it too
But when I open my eyes
I see you standing there
The silhouette's the same
Oh, maybe it's not too late
When I read your lips
My head starts spinning like crazy
I can't wait to hear you say it
I wanna live that perfect shoujo dream
Oh a perfect shoujo dream
Every tiny little detail
Replicate it to a T
I'm living a perfect shoujo dream
Oh a perfect shoujo dream
Don't wake me up now cause I never wanna leave

Hey, it's too early to say I miss you
No, but I miss how you made me feel
Make it real again
Ooh, I was blindsided by the loneliness in my room
Ooh, give me one shot to make it right again with you
Won't you wait for me?
Won't you call?
I can change, darling
I'll prove you wrong
Won't you wait for me?
By the phone
Don't you miss those days, darling?
'Cause I miss that tone
The thought that I hurt you has me falling apart
I never won big, played it too safe with my cards
Took a shot at my ego, but you hit me in the heart
You said"better luck next time"
Oh, better luck next time
Hey, is it too late to say that I'm sorry?
'Cause I'm sick of this self-inflicted loneliness, Oh
Was it the way I walk or the way I fit my clothes?
(Better luck next time, oh better luck next time!)
Maybe the way I talk or the freckles on my nose
(Better luck next time, yeah better luck next time!)
Give me a reason
Why it's my fault you shattered my world
Give me some peace of mind
Need to grow from what I did before, oh
Won't you wait for me?
Won't you call?
I can change, darling
I'll prove you wrong
Won't you wait for me?
By the phone
Don't you miss those days, darling?
'Cause I miss that tone
The thought that I hurt you has me falling apart
I never won big, played it too safe with my cards
Took a shot at my ego, but you hit me in the heart
You said"better luck next time"
Oh, better luck next time
You were my comfort and pride
Collage us together, put you at my side
Glueing you back in my life
Whatever's required to make things right
Oh, oh
(Better luck next time, oh better luck next time!)
(Better luck next time, oh better luck next time!)
The thoughts in my head have been driving me mad
If you can't say that you love me, I'd be better off dead
Took a shot at my ego, but it flew above my head
You said better luck next time?
Until next time.

Cry like my life depends on it
Smile like my life depends on it
Love like my life depends on it
Because my life depends on it
I don't have much going on, nowadays
I'm just flipping the pages
Watch the news, think I'm gonna hit my limit
What are you doing anyways
While I'm stuck with the pain
Staring off out the window till you visit
I've been missing you
And my forehead's 102
Toss and turn, ibuprofen in my veins
But your touch is the only thing that stays
You just smile, turn around, and you're out the door again
I was sick, yeah, but now I'm feeling drained
And do you miss me?
Cause my forehead's 103
I'd rather die
Than let you say goodbye
With you not by my side
Since I'm running out of time
Can I tell you
I'd rather die
Than stay here one more night
So I'll try to hold the line
My placebo at my side
My placebo at my side
Your words just hit their expiration
So I'm waiting by the phone
You're my only medication
But my tolerance has grown
Now I'm 110 degrees
Oh, is that hard to believe?
Do you want to see?
Don't you trust me?
I'd rather die
Than let you say goodbye
And now you're by my side
Seems I'm running out of time
Can I tell you
I'd rather die
Than stay here all my life
'Cause you're keeping me alive
So stay with me tonight
My placebo at my side
You dropped some pills on the floor
And you turned to leave
But what did you honestly expect
From someone as damaged as me
My head is clearing at last
And I can't believe
That you would ever give the time of day for me

I carry the blame
Have myself to hate for this
So you took a bullet and aimed through my heart
'Cause you couldn't find another way
And a chasm seemed to form between us
When I talked to you the other day
You told me I'm romanticizing all these feelings
It's a dangerous game to play
It's a dangerous game that we play
You let your courtesy get in the way
Now you want to forget it all
In your nature
It's just common courtesy
Regret my fault
Don't you be so quick to forgive
Wish that I could just forget
You're one to complain
Haven't slept for days 'cause of this
So I saw the damage I made
Closed my eyes hoping maybe it would go away
Oh, but it never really goes away
If I could open my eyes
And meet you down under these waves
Then would you spell out for me
The bigger picture
The point you're trying to make
Though I've only caused you pain
You let your courtesy get in the way
Now you want to forget it all
In your nature
It's just common courtesy
Regret my fault
Don't you be so quick to forgive
Wish that I could just forget
Days upon days
Lying restless in my bed
If I waited for some revelation to enter my head
Oh, I'd be waiting until I'm dead
Oh, I see the damage I made
Closing my eyes won't make this go away
Cause there's a bigger problem to face
Give me time and I'll make it go away

I think I hate this new girl
With the stars around her face
Cause you know how much I suffered
And I think I hate the art you make
When you put it on display
Sit still and let me clip your wings
Stay down here
I've got nothing else to hold
Stay down here
You've got nowhere else to go
When your talent runs dry
And you hands turn cold
Tell me who would love you
Let me be your world
Let me be your oyster
You can be my pearl
Hide you deep inside my ocean
Stay down here
I've got nothing else to hold
Stay down here
You've got nowhere else to go
When your talent runs dry
And you hands turn cold
Tell me who would love you
You're a girl who dreams of stardom
In an isolated bay
But you'll never cross that ocean
You'd be better off returning
To your suffocating space
Sit still and let me clip your wings
I'm trying my best and surely you know that
But since when has that been enough for you
In my eyes you'll always be just like me
You'll do whatever it takes, try to force a way through
Wait
Stay down here
When your talent runs dry
And you hands turn cold
Tell me who would love you
No one else could love you

I'm bundled up in your clothes again
Don't think I've ever felt so warm
All my roots sprouted into split ends
The smell of linen stains my arms
I think I finally understand it now
Life's much too long to not fall in love
But much too short to keep waiting around
We run ourselves into the ground
I'm terrified to tell you
But deep down I think you already know
If patience is a virtue
Then you're the greatest person I've ever known
Why can't I get it through that head of yours?
I'm only gonna leave you broken
You'll remember me with tears in your eyes
A disease that leaves you smoking
I think I finally understand it now
I spent my life trying to fit the mold
Gave up my comfort for a final chance to grow
And I think I finally found my gold
Oh I think I finally found my home
I'm terrified to tell you
But deep down I think you already know
And I'm terrified to hurt you
But I'm different from the girl that I was before
Things never pan out the way I imagine
So I've been imagining the worst
Let's wait out my fears
Palms connect as it passes
Your gentle pull shifted my course
Pull me somewhere I've never gone
Can't imagine it, but that's what I want
Life's too short to waste it on being withdrawn
Life's too short to waste it at all

There's a message in a bottle with your name on it
And I wrote it in another lifetime
Do me a favor
Say you'll never try to see what lies within
It's something that I never meant to write
Don't let the words you see before break your heart
I wrote them long before I melted in your arms
Come defrost my frozen heart
Think I'm warming up to you
It's a feeling that could melt away the snow
Could I restart this life
With you here by my side
Let me bury my face inside your clothes
There's a message in a bottle with your name on it
And I wrote it in another state of mind
You can burn it, break it
Just don't try to read the note inside
Oh, I wrote it just to get you out my life
I locked away my heart inside the freezer
Oh but now I'd like to serve it up to you
Come defrost my frozen heart
Think I'm warming up to you
It's a feeling that could melt away the snow
Could I restart this life
With you here by my side
Let me bury my face inside your clothes
Waves of silence
Oh would you let me do that
With a sigh I start to sign another note
You can pay no mind to the girl I was
Oh, I hope you won't let that be all she wrote
There's a present in my hands with your name on it
And I wrapped it in a way I thought you'd like
Will you burn it?
Will you break it?
Or will you open it and read?
Cause your smile is really all I need
Come defrost my frozen heart
Think I'm warming up to you
It's a feeling that could melt away the snow
Could I restart this life
With you here by my side
It's a feeling that could melt away the snow
Let me bury my face inside your clothes
