Lightening strike,
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways,
To make you understand my pain.
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everwhere
It's heartbreak warfare.
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare.
If you want more love
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love
Why don't you say so?
Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again.
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain.
Clouds of sulfur in the air,
Bombs are falling everywhere.
It's heartbreak warfare.
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins.
In heartbreak warfare.
If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love
Why don't you say so?
Just say so.
How come the only way to know,
How high you get me,
Is to see how far I fall?
God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me,
But I can't break through it all.
It's a heart, heartbreak.
I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight,
Let's just fix this whole thing now.
I swear to God we're gonna get it right,
If you lay your weapon down.
Red wine and Ambien,
You're talking shit again.
It's heartbreak warfare.
Good to know it's all a game,
Disappointment has a name.
It's heartbreak, heartbreak,
It's heartbreak warfare.
It's heartbreak warfare.
It's heartbreak warfare.

Just when I had you off my head
Your voice comes thrashing wildly through my quiet bed
You say you wanna try again
But I've tried everything but giving in
Why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try
When all we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
I bought a ticket on a plane
And by the time it landed, you were gone again
I love you more than songs can say
But I can't keep running after yesterday
So why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try
When all we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
We say goodbye
We say goodbye
We say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come on crashing in
Like the realest thing
Tried my best to understand
All that your love can bring
Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
With half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
Made a plan, stayed the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang
'Til the day you came
Showing me another way
And all that my love can bring
Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
With half of my heart
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
But I can only fall short for so long
Down the road later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you
Than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
With half of my
Half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man
Who's never truly loved anything
Half of my heart

Who says I can't get stoned?
Turn off the lights and the telephone
Me in my house alone
Who says I can't get stoned?
Who says I can't be free?
From all of the things that I used to be
Re-write my history
Who says I can't be free?
It's been a long night in New York City
It's been a long night in Baton Rouge
I don't remember you looking any better
But then again I don't remember you
Who says I can't get stoned?
Call up a girl that I used to know
Fake love for an hour or so
Who says I can't get stoned?
Who says I can't take time?
Meet all the girls at the county line
Wait on fate to send a sign
Who says I can't take time?
It's been a long night in New York City
It's been a long night in Austin, too
Don't remember you looking any better
But then again I don't remember you
Who says I can't get stoned?
Plan a trip to Japan alone
Doesn't matter if I even go
Who says I can't get stoned?
It's been a long night in New York City
It's been a long time since twenty-two
I don't remember you looking any better
But then again I don't remember, don't remember you

Had a little love, but I spread it thin
Falling in her arms and out again
Made a bad name for my game around town
Tore out my heart and shut it down
Nothing to do, nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do, no one but me
And that's all I need
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me
I see my friends around from time to time
When their ladies let 'em slip away
And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine
This is always what I say
Nothing to do, nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do, no one to be
Isn't really hard to see
Why I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me
And this is not to say
There never comes a day
I'll take my chances and start again
And when I look behind
On my all younger times
I'll have to thank the wrongs that lead me to a love so strong
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it

I work in the dead of night
When the roads are quiet
And no one is around
To track my moves
Racing the yellow lights
To find the gate is open
She's waiting in the room
I just slip on through
You get in, you get down
And then you get gone
You never leave a trace
Or show your face, you get gone
Should have turned around
And left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up again
Enter the morning light
To find the day is burning
The curtains and the wine
In a little white room
No, I'm not alone
Her head is heavy on me
She's sleeping like a child
What could I do?
You get in, you get down
And then you get gone
You never leave a trace
Or show your face, you get gone
Should have turned around
And left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up again
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
Suddenly I'm in
Over my head and
I can hardly breathe
Suddenly I'm floating
Over her bed and
I feel everything
Suddenly I know
Exactly what I did
But I cannot move a thing
Suddenly I know
Exactly what I done
And what it's gonna mean to me
Mean to me
I'm gone
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
She's an assassin and
She's an assassin and
She's an assassin and
She's an assassin and she had a job to do

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the lord for mercy, said "help me if you please"
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
No one seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willy Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willy Brown
That I'm standing at the crossroads, I believe I'm sinkin' down

Come out angels
Come out ghosts
Come out darkness
Bring everyone you know I'm not running and I'm not scared
I am waiting
And well-prepared
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I've got a hammer
And a heart of glass
I gotta know right now which walls to smash
I got a pocket
Got no pills
If fear hasn't killed me yet, then nothing will
All the suffering and all the pain
Never left a name
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I'm in the war of my lifre
At the core of my life
Got no choice but to fught 'till it's done
No more suffering, no more pain
Never again
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I'm in the ware of my life
At the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
So fight on
Fight one everyone
Fight on
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
I won't give up
I won't run
I won't stop for anyone

Young and full of running, tell me where has that taken me?
Just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity?
Love is really nothing
But a dream that keeps waking me
For all of my trying, we still end up dying
How can it be?
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things i belive
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
So young and full of running
All the way to the Edge of Desire
Steady my breathing, silently screaming
I have to have you now
Wired and I'm tired
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis
And find me on yours
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I belive
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
. . .

It's just the strangest thing
I've seen you face somewhere
An early evening dream
A past life love affair
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
In all my revelry
I thought I felt us there
A feather in my hand
A flower in your hair
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?

Now that we are over as the loving kind
We'll be dreaming ways to keep the good alive
Only when "we want" is not a compromise
I'd pouring tears into your drying eyes
Friends, lovers or nothing
There can only be one
Friends, lovers or nothing
There'll never be an in between so give it up
You whisper "come on over" 'cause you're two drinks in
But in the morning I will say goodbye again
Think we'll never fall into a jealous game?
The streets have flown with blood of those who felt the same
Friends, lovers or nothing
There can only be one
Friends, lovers or nothing
There'll never be an in between so give it up
Friends, lovers or nothing
We can really only ever be one
Friends, lovers or nothing
We'll never be the in between so give it up
We'll never be the in between so give it up
Anything other than yes is no
Anything other than stay is go
Anything less than "I love you" is lying
