That 80s Song
Screaming in pain, waking up without you here by my side Waking up alone, leaving you behind Falling apart inside, one by one it breaks to pieces Leaving my heart in your hands to destroy it Leave me here to die all alone Dig a hole and push me inside Chorus: Leave me lying in a ditch To rot away my bones Stab me in my back And turn me into a ghost Stop me from screaming, calling out to you Turn me face down, so I can’t see you leave me Leave this place, fall away far from here Leave me crying, you’ll be left in tears Leave me here to die all alone Dig a hole and push me inside Repeat Chorus: Breakdown: Instrumental Repeat Chorus: Breakdown: A ghost A ghost A ghost Repeat Chorus:

I wake up alone again Laying in my bed, thinking of you and me I know we’d be perfect together But I can’t pick up enough courage to show you Chorus: That I could be the one To hold you close to me And everything could be alright If you could only see what’s meant to be Now I wish I could Open your eyes Show you the world through mine And everything would go my way I’d be with you every day But I know this would never happen to me Breakdown: Never happen to me Repeat Chorus:

...A Change in Heart
Stop me from breathing tonight, So when I wake up I won’t remember a single word you said. And I can easily sit and relax The knife is in your hand And you’re finished with my back. Peel my face into a circle and see what’s there See if my eyes can be torn to prevent the tears See if you can put my smile in your pocket And with turpentine, try to remove the blood On my white shirt before you hide me And if you decide to care, Whisper in my ear and touch my cheek with your hand ‘Cause it’ll never be too late Breakdown: Instrumental For a change in coarse due to a change in heart Is sweeter than a burning heart in kerosene

A shattered dream floats through my mind As I think about what you’ve done After I saw you with him I thought to myself Why couldn’t I have won your heart I lost the war, I’m giving up You’ve hurt me for the last time No more wondering, or what ifs It’s over because of you Now I sit here reminding myself That it wasn’t my choice at all To have my heart broken again It’s all your fault I never want to see you again So I’ll be at your house To pick up my things For the very last time And if I see him there I’ll take him home, And tie him up Leave him there in my room alone It’ll be the end of you and him

Invisible
You give me a dark stare that chills me to the bone You’ve acted so different ever since last night on the phone You look right through me whenever I see you now It’s like I’m not even there, can I fix what I did, please tell me how Chorus: I’m Invisible to you You see right through me As clear as a crystal What’s the key to get me out of this world Whenever I see you, you turn away to look at someone else There’s something bothering you, but what it is, I just can’t tell I don’t understand what I did to make you feel how you do I don’t think I did anything, I think there’s something wrong with you Repeat Chorus: Breakdown: Instrumental Repeat Chorus:
