Broken Doll 04:21
We only speak in whispers In the dead of night It's the only time you'll listen 'Cause we're out of sight. Can't remember what you said But it's drumming through my head. You have elastic around my waist And there's no chance of escape. Hold up your hands You're guilty as Your's truly but I Oh I am not denying, 'Cause love is not a crime. Can't remember what you said But it's drumming through my head. You have elastic around my waist And there's no chance of escape It's the perfect puppet show, Cut me down and let me go. Heed me, disaster is over If you need me, tonight. Take this, glass half empty Won't be needing you again. Kiss me while you can fix me 'Cause I'm smashing in your hands. And you look at me with disgrace, And you're blocking out my face. Still I'm with you through it all.. I'm your perfect Broken Doll.

Wasting Away 03:09
I'm wasting away, but I'm dying to stay. And all I've believed, I've betrayed. Put a gun to my head, tell me I'll end up dead, If I carry on living this way. And I swear that it won't make me change. 'Cause I fold way too early. Can't bear to play it dirty. We'll fight 'til the morning light. I'm staying here tonight. I'm tied up in knots, I can't read my own thoughts, And secretly I'm glad I've been caught. Hold a knife to my throat, say it's my time to go If I don't practice what I've been taught, And I should but I thrive on the flaws. 'Cause I fold way too early. Can't bear to play it dirty with you We'll fight 'til the morning light. I'm staying here tonight.

I'm here, I'm by your side. You can close your eyes, And I'll be your lullaby. Fall asleep, then in your dreams We can drift Away. To France, or Spain; To rid all the pain With a drink or thirteen, And lie on the beach, And we'll dance all night, And we'll never fight, 'Cause there's no such thing. And dare to tell me different. Dare to tell me, I must live like you. I'm here, still by your side And your still asleep, While I'm merely trying To meet you in your perfect little dream world, Just let me in. And we'll run away From material ways. And we'll hitch a ride To better days. 'Cause there ain't no way Our lives must be led, Living in our heads. And dare to tell me different. Dare to tell me I must live like you. I'm here, still by your side And your still asleep, While I'm merely trying To meet you in your perfect little dream world, Just let me in. And we'll run away From material ways. And we'll hitch a ride To better days. 'Cause there ain't no way Our lives must be led, Living in our heads.

My hands are shaking And I can't utter a word. Want you to hold me But I'm pushing you toward her. Always second best In any circumstance And I never prove myself When I'm given the chance. But there you are, And you seem to have control. Oh there you are, And you're breaking the mould. I've got no grip From this cliff I'm slipping down It seems inevitable That I will hit that ground. Why should trust in anything, Or anyone. Just want to rest my eyes, When the day is done. But there you are, And you seem to have control. Oh there you are, And I'm not on my own. Infact I've never been So far from anything. Any finally I can breath. There you are, With my heart.
