New Year's Resolution

It wasn't so long ago
She fell in love with a man she didn't know
He made her think that he was the greatest
It turned out later, he was a sadist
And he hurt her like-she's never been hurt
He didn't care-treated her like dirt
For months at a time, he'd leave her alone
She didn't believe she could be on her own
CHORUS:
And how many nights had she spent all alone
Waiting by the telephone
And how many tears had she wasted on him
How many hours, feeling so grim
Though she didn't know it- it'd all go away
This is the first day of the best, year of her life
After he left-she struggled with pain
Her days were filled with nothing but rain
She wrote songs when she was sad
She realized later, she wasn't half bad
And she knew right then-what a fool she'd been
She wondered how, he got under her skin
After all, he was scary and weird
He looked kinda silly in that 2-foot beard
Chorus
BRIDGE:
Happy days were creepin' in
Sometimes you'd even see her grin
Oh how happy she could be
Without him
Instrumental
Just today he heard her play
A record producer would make her day
He knew right away-that she would make it
She was the real thing, didn't have to fake it
ALT CHORUS:
And how many nights had she spent all alone
Waiting by the telephone
And how many tears had she wasted on him
Her light inside-growing so dim
Though she didn't know it, it'd all go away
This is the first day of the best, year of her life, year of her life.

Go to Hell, Corey

I know that I wasn't perfect
But I was way better than you
I was so oblivious
I didn't have a clue
You left me all alone
Out to fend for my own
Did you care at all
It's not like you would ever call
All I wanted was, someone to hold
You wouldn't be that man, you were so cold
All I needed was someone who cared
Someone who needed me, and a life to share
You missed all of my birthdays
I pretended it was okay
I had our whole life planned
After all, you were my man
All you said was things, you never meant
Sometimes you'd rattle on, as if you vent
All I wanted was, someone to love
But you treated me, like someone to shove
So you've found someone who turned your head
I hope she's just like you, bad in bed
Instrumental (short)
So go back to her, and all she has
Come to think of it, I'm rather glad
When I remember you, it still makes me mad
So good-bye to you, for good, my lover...bad.

Kiss Him Goodbye
03:49
|

|
Ooohh ahhh...
He lies all the time
He spends all your money
He smokes two packs a day
And he's not even funny
When doing his laundry
You noticed lipstick on his collar
But it's pink and sparkly
You know you'd never wear that color
CHORUS: Oooh-ahh oooh-ahh kiss him goodbye
'Cause he is the one who is making you cry
Oooh-ahh oooh-ahh kiss him goodbye
'Cause you don't deserve this life
With all of the heartache and stryfe
You're never on his mind
'Cause he doesn't have a brain
'Doesn't understand you
He's driving you insane
They fired him
For being lazy at work
Now he's lazy at home
Oh what a jerk
Chorus
He drives like a maniac
He's always drunk
His van smells so strangly
'Cause he hit a skunk
Your friends have all sworn off you
'Cause they hate him too
Just like all his ex-girlfriends
That came before you
His own family doesn't like him
'Cause he stole his parents van
Would you suffer indefinitely
Just to have a man
Break (oooh-ahhs)
He doesn't bathe
--regularly
He charges you for backrubs
When they should be free
So you're unhappy
Well I would be too
'Cause he treats his exes
Better than you
Break (oooh-aahs)
ALT CHORUS:Oooh-ahh oooh-ahh kiss him goodbye
'Cause he is the one who is making your fish die
Oooh-ahh oooh-ahh kiss him goodbye
'Cause he isn't what you deserve
He flirts with your friends,
Oh what a perv
Oooh-aaahs

Gone

And it's not that I wish I were dead
Though there are things I wish I'd said
I know that I can't turn back time
But history's no fault of mine
I believe in things I can't see
But you're a font of mystery
And all the time you were someone else
Were you really you instead
CHORUS: I am blind but I can see
What it is you've done to me
Stringing along, so quietly
I'm not lost completely
And it's not where angels fear to treat
I'm like a soldier to be lead and
All the time you spent with me
You're still someone that I can't reach
And all the time you were someone else
Were you really you instead
CHORUS
Gone.

Angel of Death
04:08
|

|
I've lived long enough to know
I don't want to be alive
And I've spent many many nights
Just staring at the knives
I held off for a while
Thinking there must be an explanation
>I was put on this planet
Not just awaiting expiration
I've been hoping things would come around
But happiness I haven't found
I guess I thought that he still cared
But his life he wouldn't share
CHORUS: And Angel of Death
Show me the way tonight
I'm no longer frightened
I want to find joy in the light
Angel of Death
Won't you come and save me
Hear my plea
I need you
And I've thought hard enough about it
I know this is what I need to do
And if you lived the life that I do
You'd know this is what-you need to
It gets so hard for me
Living this life of misery
I cry all the time
Try to explain it, to so-called friends of mine
They don=t understand,
They'll never understand, like you do
Chorus
Intermission
And I've tried all of their solutions
I've tried their therapy
And I've taken medication
It does nothing for me
I've tried hoping for the best
And believing in tomorrow
But all tomorrow brings
Is a different kind of sorrow
Chorus (2x)

Listen to Me
04:19

|
I feel strong, but I'm alone
When I'm with you, I'm on my own
You're so wrapped up in yourself
I'm just a trophy on your shelf
I feel bad, when you're here
Won't you lend me yo-ur ear
Just for a moment, maybe you'd see
All the pain stacked up in me
Are you listening?
'Cause I am screaming
Do you see
What I see
Are you listening?
'Cause I am screaming
Your name-your name, your name
I want more-than you can give
Sometimes I don't, want to live
If this is how it's gonna be
I don't want your sympathy
Are you listening?
'Cause I am screaming
Are you still here
Or far away
Are you still here
Or have you left
Already, al-read-y
BRIDGE:
You still seem to just want someone
But I'm not quite sure who
If you just want someone to sleep with
I suggest a prostituite
I won't beg and I won't lie
You will never see me cry
How can you not-seem to care
You ignore the time we shared
Are you listening?
'Cause I am screaming
But you don't hear
A word I say
Are you listening?
Or are you feeling
The same-the same
About me.

Last Will and Testament
03:29
|
|||
|
If I should die tomorrow
Leave the pictures in their place
Will you dance with rings of joyous sorrow
Wipe that smile right off your face
Will I be watching you from up above
Or will I be stuck way down below?
'Cause if push may come to shove
Hell is not that far to go
As I lie alone in my coffin
Will the roses comfort me?
Will you walk along or visit often
Somehow that's too hard to see
Sometimes I feel like dying
When the hard times come my way
You never see my crying
Would you care anyway?
Instrumental
Tonight I feel my life is over
Feel the rain fall on my face
And so I'm not exactly sober
I want to leave this dirty place
Will you help me to the coroners
We'll all end up there anyway
Can you take me from these foreigners
Tell me how much to I need to pay?
If I should die tomorrow
--Help me to bed
Leave the pictures in their place
--I'm on my way
Will you dance in rings of joyous sorrow
--I feel no pain
Wipe that smile right off your face
--Where am I now
If I should die
