Who I Am

Rose Garden
She was brought into this world
Out of a beautiful mistake
When her mom was just a girl
And her daddy didn't stay.

She was working at age 9
At the flower shop in town.
Working not just to survive,
'Cause life was throwing her around.

In the rose garden,
Where the rain is falling.
And the thorns are sharp in
The rose garden, yeah.
Rose garden.

She was young but not naïve...
Always wise beyond her years,
Hoping that no one would see
Every time she dried her tears.

In the rose garden,
Where the rain is falling.
And the thorns are sharp in
The rose garden, yeah.
Rose...

Don't let those petals fall...
Don't let them fall on you.
Don't let those petals fall...
Don't let them fall on you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

In the rose garden,
Where the rain is falling.
And the thorns are sharp in
The rose garden, yeah.
In the rose garden!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Rose!
Rose...

Who I Am
I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I want to break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am

Nothing makes sense, nothing makes sense anymore
Nothing is right, nothing is right when your gone.
I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I want to break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am

Nothing makes sense, nothing makes sense anymore
Nothing is right, nothing is right when you're gone
I'm losing my breath, I'm losing my right to be wrong
I'm frightened to death, I'm frightened that I won't be strong

I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I wanna break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am

I'm shaking it off, I'm shaking off all of the pain.
Breaking my heart, breaking my heart once again

I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I wanna break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am

I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I wanna break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am

Yeah, who I am.

An Olive and an Arrow
We've never been into honesty
So promise me you'll let me know
When you're lying.
She wants to be an eagle
And when she's high she can fly
No matter what she was trying.

She'll be the perfect woman,
Then she'll change suddenly;
You wanna cry from the feeling.
She's got a heart of gold but
Every now and again she'll turn to grey.
And you know she gives me

An olive then an arrow in the back.
She leaves me breathless
Then she kicks me while I'm down.
She leaves me hoping
My love won't show.
'Cause I know she'll give me
An olive and an arrow.

She doesn't like to worry
But she's afraid of everything
That's going on around her.
I'm just another photo
That made it's way on her page;
Somehow I stayed, but it won't be long.

An olive then an arrow in the back.
She leaves me breathless
Then she'll kick me while I'm down.
She leaves me hoping
That my love won't show.
'Cause I know she'll give me
An olive and an arrow.

You leave me hoping, and praying,
That my love won't show.
'Cause I know you'll give me
An olive and an arrow.

Conspiracy Theory
Conspiracy theory
Better keep it down,
'Cause the walls are thin,
And the word is out, now!

Like It or Leave It
Don't make sound,
'Cause the walls are thin,
And the word is out, now!

Better that you didn't know
Better that they didn't show
Us Why

Why we need to live in fear,
Knowing that the threats are real
This time!

Conspiracy theory
Gonna make you shake.
Don't hit the brakes.
No time to waste, now!

Like it or leave it,
Better hit the road
'Cause the world as we know it
Gonna fade away, now!

Better that you didn't know
Better that they didn't show
Us Why

Probably need to live in fear,
Knowing that the threats are real
This time

Conspiracy theory!
Conspiracy theory!

Conspiracy theory
Better keep it down,
'Cause the walls are thin,
And the word is out, now!

Like It or Leave it
Don't'cha make sound,
'Cause the walls are thin,
And the word is out, now!

Better that you didn't know
Better that they didn't show
Probably need to live in fear,
Knowing that the threats are real
This time!

In the End
This town's too small
For you to run around like you do.
You're taking things
That just don't belong to you.

Picture yourself inside a room now...
Imagine the freedom that you'll lose.

Well, baby, it all comes back to haunt you
In the end.
And, baby, it hurts the most
When you don't have a friend.
And you know you broke our trust,
And now you're stuck
On the wrong side of the fence.
Baby, it all comes back to haunt you
In the end.

I know you're scared
Somebody will find you out.
But you're not aware
We know what you're all about.

Picture yourself inside a room now...
And all of your guilt comes down on you.

Well, baby, it all comes back to haunt you
In the end.
And, baby, it hurts the most
When you don't have a friend.
And you know you broke our trust,
And now you're stuck
On the wrong side of the fence.
Baby, it all comes back to haunt you
In the end.

{Take it Tommy}

You cry alone;
Nobody will see you through.
You made your choice
There's nothing that you can do.

Well, baby, it all comes back to haunt you
In the end.
And, baby, it hurts the most
When you don't have a friend.
And you know you broke our trust,
And now you're stuck
On the wrong side of the fence.
Baby, it all comes back to haunt you...
It all comes back to haunt you...
It all comes back to haunt you...
In the end.

Last Time Around
Walk in the room; I'm a man on a mission.
You're standing there, and I feel that connection.
I break the ice and I ask what your name is.
Then I recall that we already did this...
Somehow I missed it.

Keep on moving like you did last summer,
When the grass was greener and your hair was longer.
If you become familiar with another in town,
Don't forget about the fun that we had
Last time around.

You walk around with a new man new band.
You think it's over but I'm just getting started.
I try to call but you don't ever answer.
I'd let you go but you're all that I'm after.
Can't you remember?

Keep on moving like you did last summer,
When the grass was greener and your hair was longer.
If you become familiar with another in town,
Don't forget about the fun that we had
Last time around.

{That feels good! }

So keep on moving like you did last summer,
When the grass was greener and your hair was longer.
If you become familiar with another in town,
Don't forget about the fun that we had
Last time around.

Keep on moving like you did last summer,
When the grass was greener and your hair was longer.
If you become familiar with another in town,
Don't forget about the fun that we had
Last time around.

Last time around!

Yeah, last time around!

Tonight
Well, here we are again...
Throwing punchlines, no one wins.
As the morning sun begins to rise, we're fading fast
And we won't work this out.

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight.
No, we're not gonna make this right.
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye.
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonite.

Every single word's been said...
Broke each other's hearts again.
As the starlit sky begins to shine, we're breakin' down;
She screams out!

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight.
No, we're not gonna make this right.
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye.
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonite.

We don't have to fight
Tonight.
We just gotta try...
We don't have to fight
Tonite.
We just gotta try...
Tonite!

So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye.
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonite.

Well, there's no need to fight, we're just wastin' time.
If you give it a try well then maybe you'll find...
We might work this...
We know we're in love so let's keep it alive
Tonite.
I'm starting to see the morning light...
And we finally worked this out.
Tonite!
Yeah, yeah.

State of Emergancy
She's seductive;
She does it well.
She'll charge you by the hour
For a straight trip down to Hell
Shell direct you;
You think you know.
She's gonna let you go...
She's gonna let you go.

I'm not a lover,
But I'm still concerned.
That if you touch the fire
Means your heart can still get burned
Then she'll want you
That I know.
She's gonna let me go...
Gonna let me go.

See all those familiar faces
Crowded in my mind...
I know that now is not the time.
Run around
With someone else
Satisfy yourself, but don't fool me.
Don'tcha let it be
A state of emergency.

I pledge allegiance
To the cause.
She'll tell you that she's leaving
If you don't put your life on pause.
She'll surprise you;
Ya think you know...
She's gonna let you go...
She's gonna let you go.

See all those familiar faces
Crowded in my mind...
I know that now is not the time.
Run around
With someone else
Satisfy yourself, but don't fool me.
Don'tcha let it be
A state of emergency.

I know it's hard when love's unfair...
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't care.
Show me the way to reach your heart.
Where do I start?

See all those familiar faces
Crowded in my mind...
I know that now is not the time.
Run around
With someone else
Satisfy yourself, but don't fool me.
Don'tcha let it be, no no!
Don'tcha let it be...
A state of emergency.

Vesper's Goodbye
All of you
Have shaped me into what I am
Carried out the bitter man.
Do you have a master plan?
Oh, no.

Somewhere, I
Let all my defenses down.
Never thought to turn around,
And you did not make a sound.

See it turning red
Like a bullet through the chest.
Lay me down to rest
It's a lover's final breath.

And I found out
Nothing comes without a cost
And life was just a game we lost.
Do you have a better thought?

Now you're gone
And nothing's ever felt so wrong
A moment seems to last so long.
Do you have a fear so strong?

See it turning red
Like a bullet through the chest.
Lay me down to rest
It's a lover's final breath.

And now I die
And kiss your tender lips goodbye...
Pray to God he hears my cry...

Stronger
Wake up
To the alarm and the phone.
Trying to stick out,
Stuck in the world don't belong.
Sometimes
Something so right can be wrong.
Into the weekends,
Gravity's taking it's toll

I wanna know I'm not the only one around.
Can you show me something deeper than I've found?
I wanna know you'll be with me
When everything around is falling down...
When I finally get these feet back on the ground.

In the sunshine
Down on my face breaking through.
Old things
That were once lost are now new.
Hey!

I wanna know I'm not the only one around.
Can you show me something deeper than I've found?
I wanna know you'll be with me
When everything around is falling down...
When I finally get these feet back on the ground.

You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger
Than I've ever been now.

You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger
Than I've ever been now.

I wanna know I'm not the only one around.
Can you show me something deeper than I've found?
I wanna know you'll be with me
When everything around is falling down...
When I finally get these feet...
Back on the ground!
Back on the ground, oh!
Back on the ground!
You're making me stronger!

You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger
Than I've ever been now.

You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger.
You're making me stronger
Than I've ever been now.
