Doesn't Matter

Now that I feel better I can tell you what you want to hear
Maybe even make you believe that I mean it
Nothing stays the same, I forget how much people change
Wanna hold 'em down, pin 'em in place, but I cannot do it

If you were to say "Everything's gonna be okay,"
what would it matter?

I figure the trouble is, I've got too much pride to admit
When I am wrong, I know you're not right
Must be my fault, after all I never watch my step
and you should know, you told me so

If you were to say "Everything's gonna be okay,"
what would it matter?

Gimme another nice cliche
To say when my heart's been shattered
It's gonna be okay?
What does it matter?

Kinda Beautiful

The truth about me is I can be pretty ugly
The truth about me is I can be kinda beautiful
When I'm with you, you sorta take the two
and blend them into something no one else can see

I don't believe that there are any accidents of fate
I don't believe it's just the way things happen

The truth about you is you can be very cold-hearted
The truth about you is you can be unbearably kind
When I'm with you, I sorta take the two
and blend them into something no one else can see

I don't believe that there are any accidents of fate
I don't believe it's just the way things happen

When I get too discouraged
put your hand under my chin and point me in a new direction

I don't believe that there are any accidents of fate
I don't believe it's just the way things happen

To Be Alone

Where can you go when you want to be alone in the city?
I'm sitting by the highway playing make believe
I can turn the sound of traffic into ocean foam
Let the breakers wash over me ceaselessly

If I don't have a good reason to cry, maybe you could
If I don't have a good reason to cry, maybe you could give me one

I can't think of anyone I want to see today
Couldn't bring myself to get up out of bed
Got too many skeletons piling up in the closet
Restless bones wreaking havoc with my head

If I don't have a good reason to cry, maybe you could
If I don't have a good reason to cry, maybe you could give me one

My hands are shaking violently- I want a drink
The bar light's humming, calling me inside
Didn't say a word but I know my face is telling tales
Take me home, I'm too screwed up to drive

If I don't have a good reason to cry, maybe you could
If I don't have a good reason to cry, maybe you could give me one

Liquid Courage

Live on liquid courage, booze for blood
6 am, going to bed with the sun coming up
I can't seem to walk away when they refill my cup
Squeeze a lifetime into a single day, I'm gonna die young

I don't need no saving, I've been saved everyday in all kinds of ways
I don't need no saving, unless someone can tell me how to save me from me

Used to believe in God but he did me wrong
Said 'here's your cross girl, pick it up, I made you plenty strong'.
Now when misled messiahs sidle up to me at the bar
Laugh to think, guess a drink's become the price of my heart


I don't need no saving, I've been saved everyday in all kinds of ways
I don't need no saving, unless someone can tell me how to save me from me
