Альбом Melanie C

I couldn't help but open my big mouth
As I assumed into you the words fell out
Well you asked me the question and I just couldn't lie
But why did you bother when you knew what you'd find
No no no
I didn't mean to leave standing in the dark

So blind that I can't decide if you knew that I harboured
Beautiful Intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me

When they give you your identity
Tell me will you recognise yourself?
You're so influenced by the things that you hear
Down with the smoke screen to make everything clear
Oh Oh Oh
You gotta learn to live and take it in your stride

So blind that I can't decide if you knew that I harboured
Beautiful Intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me
So Blind
So Blind
So Blind
So Blind

Jaded with exhausting pressure
Will I feel like this forever?
Fades inconsistent pleasure
Wear me down wear me out
Jaded with exhausting pressure
Will I feel like this forever?
Fades inconsistent pleasure
Wear me down wear me out

So blind that I can't decide if you knew that I harboured
Beautiful Intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me

I wanna know did I disappoint you?
It still hurts to mention the words that were spoken now
I wanna know, are you contemplating?
The beautifully intented yet tainted impression of me

So blind that I can't decide if you knew that I harboured
Beautiful Intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly

Sign a name, sign away every hour, every day
You're living your dream
Play the game; take the blame for the power and the fame
You're living your dream
Sell your life; sell your soul telling everyone you know
You're living your dream

And you know that you're good
Cause they told you you could be
The next best superstar
And you know you can sing
And you'll do anything to be
The next best superstar
You're the next best superstar

Make a joke; do the show, where does all the money go?
You're living your dream
Crack a smile in denial; throw your morals on the fire
You're living your dream
Sell your life; sell your soul telling everyone you know
You're living your dream

And you know that you're good
Cause they told you you could be
The next best superstar
And you know you can sing
And you'll do anything to be
The next best superstar
You're the next best superstar

Now you're broken
And how they brought you down
So now you're crawling out

And you know that you're good
Cause they told you you could be
The next best superstar
And you know you can sing
And you'll do anything to be
The next best superstar

And you know that you're good
Cause they told you you could be
The next best superstar
And you know you can sing
And you'll do anything to be
The next best superstar
The next best superstar

I understand your point of view
Letting me go, but I thought you had more faith
Everything I've done for you, you made the mistake
So now you throw this in my face
And I have worked so hard for you
All of this time and you pass me aside
I understand your point of view

Chorus
I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I've got this all worked out
Something cews me up and spits me out
But there's nothing left to fear, I'm better alone my dear

You couldn't pick a better time, to give me the news
Why don't you kick me when I'm down?
I always believed in you
Defended your name
But you have not been true
I gave you so much of my life
I come from miles and you tell me goodbye
You couldn't pick a better time

I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I've got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there's nothing left to fear, I'm better alone my dear

I know, I've been sure that you would be scared and afraid
It's really amazing the changes I'm starting to feel
It's not gonna be mine till I'm feeling strong
...
Still I wonder if you ever wish you still had me

I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I've got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there's nothing left to fear

No, no, no

And I can't seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about that always seem to disappear
No, noo
And every time I think I've got this figured out
Something chews me up and drags me down
But there's nothing left to fear

Hey sugar hey
You think I'd ever let you go, get away
Ain't gonna happen
You know what I mean
Hard as it seems
Everybody's gotta dream a little dream

Chill baby chill
I wish I could but I can't stop until
Need to shut up
... here we go again
Keep on moving baby like a runaway train

Chorus
Like it's the last night on earth
Like it's the only chance we get to live
Let's give it all away
Give it all we got
Cos my love won't wait tomorrow
Like it's the last dance at the disco
Like it's the only song we get to sing
Let's give it all away
Give it all we got
Till the sun comes up sugar, don't stop

Shake baby shake
We know we have it
I don't wanna break
You're sending a shiver down my spine
Playing with my mind
Accelerate cos we're running out of time

Feel baby feel
I want you from your head to your heals
Like I want you from your heart to your soul
Baby, now ya know
Move a little closer am I gonna lose control

Chorus

Don't stop (repeat)

Shake baby shake
Shake baby shake
You know we had it
I don't wanna break
Shake, shake, shake, shake

Chorus

Like it's the last night on earth
Like it's the only chance we get to live
Let's give it all away
Give it all we got

I'm caught up in a mystery way
I'm in a constant distant state
I pray for this to always be
The path that has been chosen for me
Cos it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
So high I can't touch the ground anymore
And it's all that I'm praying

So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will, you will see

Everybody starts with a clean slate
Only altered by unnecessary hate
I pray that I will never be
Affected by how you portray me
Cos it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
But I'm not scared of being down any more
Now there's no one controlling me

So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will see
You will, you will see

I'm not a slave to your attention
Fuck your lies I'll never be a victim
I Fell from the sky, a perfect landing
Sheltered from the storm and all the rain
You will see

So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
Let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
Cos it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will see

You say never say never baby
Does it make you feel like everything's alright?
I say why all of your fantasising
Who am I to burst your bubble
If it's all ya got to get you through another night

It's hard moving on
You gotta draw the line
The feeling never comes back when it's gone
That was then, this is now
No turning back, no second time around

You're like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So try to get it into your brain
Don't you ever say, never say never again

Now you're beginning to patronise me
Acting like there's nothing you don't know
But wild horses couldn't drag me back and make me
Live the life I left behind
'Cos the fact is that I'm so much better on my own

It's hard moving on
You gotta draw the line
The feeling never comes back when it's gone
That was then, this is now
No turning back, no second time around

You're like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So try to get it into your brain
Don't you ever say, never say never

Like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So tired and it's always the same
Don't you ever say never say never say never again

I never thought that I would overcome the pain
I'd have to be a fool to go back there again

Like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So try to get it into your brain
Don't you ever say, never say never

Like a stuck record going round, round, round
You turn me off just gotta turn you down
So tired and it's always the same

I feel so bad
Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's lost is lost it's never gonna come back home

I walk in circles when there's no one around
Try to find my own direction
I test the water but it burns my hand
As I disfigure my reflection
I've been a good girl but you let me down

I feel so bad
Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's lost is lost it's never gonna come back home

I lie in silence and I just can't sleep
How I long for your affection
My eyes are tired and my body is weak
I can't handle this rejection
And I think it's mean how you let me down

I feel so bad
Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's meant to be is meant to be it's no consolation

I'll carry on proving everyone wrong
I will succeed

I feel so bad
Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that
What's lost is lost it's never gonna come back home

I feel so bad
Never felt like this 'bout anything I never have
No, please don't tell me that

City limits never change
Whispers keep me hunted
Though I challenge everything I remain captivated
Trying to leave this life behind
I have become the hunter
Now I'm planning my attack and I will surely rise again
Running from yourself isn't gonna save you

I don't need this I don't need you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I don't need this I don't need you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through

I don't need this I don't need you
I don't need this don't need you

Time has rediscovered me and everything I wanted
Now I'm standing here alone
Your presence haunts me
I had the strength to overcome
And introduce the fighter
No longer hidden in my self-inflicted pain and misery
Running from yourself isn't gonna save you

I don't need this I don't need you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I don't need this I don't need you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through

Am I lying to myself?
Is it wrong, is it right?
Trying too hard to impress
I wanna belong, feel alright
Am I lying to myself?
Am I wrong, am I right?

Running from yourself is never gonna save you

I don't need this I don't need you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I don't need this I don't need you
I'm taking back what I have given you
I'm over this I'm over you
I'm hitting back for what you put me through

I don't need this I don't need you

I can see you think that you're the one
I could fall for you but I wouldn't waste my time
I should be less cynical but I've heard it all before
I know exactly what's on your mind

All you want me to be is a little souvenir
Of a night that you won't even remember

It's not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me

Don't think that I'm unapproachable
Playing games with you 'cause I wouldn't waste my time
I could be less cynical but I've heard it all before
Every single word of every line

All you want me to be is a little souvenir
Of a night that you won't even remember

It's not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
But I don't wanna be

Something you can talk about
That's something I could do without
I'm not like you
I can't fake it the way you do
You say you want me, well if it's true
It's not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me

It's not because I'm worth it
Not 'cause I deserve it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me
It's not because you feel it
Not because you really mean it
You just wanna get your hands on a little piece of me

I walked the line, so carefully
I took my time I wondered
The here and now, what matters now
No looking back, that's over

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the moon come tumbling down
I don't care what we're lonely for
But I'm sure of the here and now

I stood alone, the only one
I didn't know, I was waiting
For liberty, to feel like me
And now I'm here, I'm not willing to change

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the moon come tumbling down
I don't care what we're lonely for
But I'm sure of the here and now
The here and now
The here and now

If you choose, we might be
I'm here with you
The air is cold
No more to do

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the moon come tumbling down
I don't care what we're lonely for
But I'm sure of the here and now
The here and now

I don't know what tomorrow brings
The sun may shine, the moon come tumbling down
I don't care what we're lonely for
But I'm sure of the here and now
The here and now

Do you feel I should say goodbye
That will not be necessary
Here's a reason why
Because your dreams
Of my premature demise
Will be overshadowed
By the truth you cannot hide

It's so simple to me
That revenge ain't so sweet
Twist and turns you
So I believe

You take your pleasure
From my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion
Is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure
From my pain

--ANYONE KNOW THE FIRST LINE?--
To obliterate my world
Isn't gonna happen
That's not what I deserve
With the belief
That you bullied out of me
Did it satisfy you
Did it make you feel complete

I would rather be free
Keep my integrity
There's no price
That's the bottom line

You take your pleasure
From my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion
Is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure
From my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion
Is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure
From my pain

Say what you want
That's all in vain
It will be falling on deaf ears again
Say what you like
This is my life
You don't understand what I need to survive

You take your pleasure
From my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion
Is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure
From my pain
You take your pleasure
From my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion
Is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure
From my pain
So take your pleasure
From my pain

So take your pleasure
From my pain
So take your pleasure

Should of trusted my own feelings
But I silenced intuition when you sacrificed your honesty
I believed that you would be there to protect me
And help me with all I'm going through

There's a joy to being free
That you could have taken from me
But I found the strength to walk away

If you turn the pages and you look inside
There is nothing of me I feel that I have to hide
If you turn the tables and look at yourself
Is there something you feel that you would have to confess

Many things will come to pass, I can live with that
I can't help but wondering, you'll get yours

I'm so happy I have moved on
I heard you are regretful, but you sacrificed your dignity
With the power you have abused you disgust me
And trust me, I'm not the only one

Haven't I already proved
That I'm better off without you
I'm so glad I walked away

If you turn the pages and you look inside
There is nothing of me I feel that I have to hide
If you turn the tables and look at yourself
Is there something you feel that you would have to confess

Many things will come to pass, I can live with that
I can't help but wondering, you'll get yours

For all the lies and your manipulations
For all the times I never felt good enough
You pushed me round, and put me down
To satisfy your childish ego
For all the times you made me feel worthless
The power struggles, now I couldn't care less
It sounds to you, there's nothing you can do
What goes around, comes around

If you turn the pages and you look inside
There is nothing of me I feel that I have to hide
If you turn the tables and look at yourself
Is there something you feel that you would have to confess

Many things will come to pass, I can live with that
