Lyrics
Reveal Love
There’s so much pain
Pain behind us, behind beside us, pain through us
Pain to make us or erase our sense of trust
Pain to bring us close or to undo us
I wanted you
In truth I want you still
But you’re so far away
Unless I play the rules by which you want to play
But then I feel you push me back
As if it’s challenge that you lack
I say lover reveal love, never conceal love
I want you still
Lover be careful before you lose me
I won’t be still
You’re so alone
Do you deserve it I know you think so
Do you know what’s real?
Are you afraid what something real could make you feel?
You stayed with him
On the losing side, you never gave in
But he’s so far away
And if he didn’t help you then, he won’t today
And you’re afraid to make the leap
But I only play my heart for keeps
I say lover reveal love, never conceal love
I want you still
Lover be careful before you lose me
I won’t be still
I want you still
Or I could wait for you to come
To the realization
And say lover reveal love, never conceal love–I want you still
Lover be careful before you lose me–I won’t be still
Cause I want you still–I want you still
Find Yourself Alone
Drink up and pay and it’s time to move on
This place is dying and they’ve turned the lights on
Nobody wants to hear the ravings of a bad drunk
They’re afraid he’ll speak their minds and say
That you’ll find yourself alone
No matter who lives in your home
You better find yourself alone
My life’s a car wreck on the side of the road
Say nothing but you can’t turn away
Not a pleasant subject, so I don’t blame you for turning away
It’s the least you could do anyway
Then you find yourself alone
No matter who lives in your home
You better find yourself alone
‘Cause it doesn’t matter–who you are
No it doesn’t matter–what you make
Stand on your own or say goodbye
Goodbye
I watch myself laying on the floor
If there’s pain here I can’t feel it no more
If you’re beautiful, if you’re young
If your talents exceed your faults
Here’s a reason to be selfish
You’ll find yourself alone
No matter who lives in your home
You better find yourself alone
Cause you’ll find yourself alone
No matter who lives in your home
You better find yourself alone
Your Love Won’t Be Denied
I only called you to say I’m here
Why is talking your greatest fear?
Just abuse me I’m here
Do you remember you promised me
Just to be good and never leave
All I do now is grieve
Goodbye sweet love
Be gone from here
Be lost tonight
It’s better to be alone
For you your cover’s blown
My love has been denied
My love has been denied
Oh I wish you’d demand of me
Did I tell you eternity’s a shorter time for me?
Oh you won’t dine with me
The knife and fork are complacency
You set the table for three
Goodbye sweet love
Be gone from here
Be lost tonight
Your cover has been blown
You’re free to be alone
But if you change your mind
Your love won’t be denied
Any Sign At All
Tell me what went wrong
Do you want me not to hear you when you cry?
Did you listen when he spoke?
Am I the question mark you hoped for? No?
Sorry
I’ll go away
Don’t come home early today
The bastard wasn’t cool
Did he play you like a harbor to a fool?
Though your stomach wasn’t in it
As he played you to your limits
As if having them’s what made you feel secure
You claim not to want me, are you sure?
Any sign at all, I’ll dream it if you live it
Any sign at all and I’ll give it I’ll give it
Any sign at all, if it’s a sign of trouble
I won’t stand in your way when it
Comes your turn to stumble
Bad Deeds
So fire at will
Cuz you could never hurt me
Cuz there’s nothing to kill
You could never hurt me
I can see where you aim
And there’s nothing to gain
I won’t be afraid
Bad deeds won’t let me
You see I’ve done bad deeds
So while I’m down on my knees
I want you to hurt me
And to ignore my pleas
Cuz you could never hurt me
Like I hurt you
And now I wanna see it through
But bad deeds won’t let me
Bad deeds gonna let you down for sure
Bad deeds gonna let you down for sure
The one I hurt you with
She’s not young or stupid
She’s the best that there is
And she’ll never hurt me
But that won’t be enough
Until I get past us
And then I can earn her trust
But bad deeds won’t let me
Tell me where to start
Tell me what to tear apart
Put me up to the light
Until it burns me white
Cuz you could never hurt me
Under any circumstance
Don’t give me one more chance
Just don’t desert me
Bad deeds gonna let you down for sure
I Owe You
I love it–cause I did it
I practiced in the dark while you were sleeping
At midnight–by the bug light
I rid myself of everything that was keeping
Me on the guard from all the best times of my life
You had an idea but you never had it right
Anyway–I owe it all to you now
I love it–and I did it
I never let it get the best of me now
You’re frazzled and unraveled
Like a flag that’s got too many stripes now
You oughta know these are the best times of my life
You had an idea but you never get it right
Anyway I owe it all to you now
Anyway I owe it all to you now
I loved it–cause you didn’t
I’m talking ’bout the life that you abandoned
Like a toenail in a trailer park
You cut a path of misery wherever you go
But you oughta know these are the best times of your life
You had an idea but you didn’t get it right
Anyway I owe it all to you now
Anyway I owe it all to you now
