Did you really beam me up? In a cloud of sparkling dust Just to do experiments on Tell me I was the chosen one Show me that this world is bigger than us Then sent me back where I came from For a moment Down Bad Long Live " In the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild We were the kings and the queens And they read off our names The night you danced like you knew our lives would Never be the same You held your head like a hero on a history book page It was the end of a decade But the start of an age Long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights Long Live So Long, London through the mist I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away My spine split from carrying us up the hill Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe Thinking how much sad did you think I had Did you think I had in me? Oh, the tragedy So long, London You'll find someone I didn't opt in to be your odd man out I founded the club she's heard great things about I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath I stopped CPR, after all, it's no use The spirit was gone, we would never come to And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free For so long, London Stitches undone Two graves, one gun I'll find someone And you say I abandoned the ship But I was going down with it My white-knuckle dying grip Holding tight to your quiet resentment And my friends said it isn't right to be scared Every day of a love affair Every breath feels like rarest air When you're not sure if he wants to be there So how much sad did you think I had Did you think I had in me? How much tragedy? Just how low did you think I'd go Before I'd self-implode? Before I'd have to go be free? You swore So Long, London Fifteen I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had To a boy who changed his mind And we both cried 'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall I've found time can heal most anything Fifteen Forever Winter much he hears these days He says, "Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?" He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity I call, just checking up on him He's up, 3 A.M., pacing He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in" My voice comes out begging All this time I didn't know You were breaking down I'd fall to pieces on the floor If you weren't around Too young to know it gets better I'll be summer sun for you forever Forever winter if you go He seems fine most of the time Forcing smiles and never minds His laugh is a symphony When the lights go out, it's hard to breathe I pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead I call, just checking up on him He's up, 5 A.M., wasted Long gone, not even listening My voice comes out screaming Forever Winter Out Of The Woods color And I remember thinking Out Of The Woods Foolish One you'll come around And maybe, someday, when we're older This is something we'll laugh about Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news But then the voices say, "You are not the exception You will never learn your lesson" Foolish one Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come You will take the long way, you will take the long way down Foolish one Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love That ain't never gonna come You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?" Oh, you haven Foolish One happiness 't met the new me yet There'll be happiness after you But there was happiness because of you Both of these things can be true There is happiness Past the blood and bruise Past the curses and cries Beyond the terror in the nightfall Haunted by the look in my eyes That would've loved you for a lifetime Leave it all behind And there is happiness Tell me, when did your winning smile Begin to look like a smirk? When did all our lessons start to look like weapons Pointed at my deepest hurt? I hope she'll be a beautiful fool Who takes my spot next to you No, I didn't mean that Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury You haven't met the new me yet There'll be happiness after me But there was happiness because of me Both of these things, I believe happiness I Hate It Here in good luck Now that I know what's what I hate it here so I will go to Secret gardens in my mind People need a key to get to The only one is mine I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here I hate it here My friends used to play a game where We would pick a decade We wished we could live in instead I Hate It Here the 1 of "no" I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though I hit the ground running each night I hit the Sunday matinee You know the greatest films of all time were never made I guess you never know, never know And if you wanted me, you really should've showed And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow And it's alright now But we were something, don't you think so? Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool And if my wishes came true It would've been you In my defense, I have none For never leaving well enough alone But it would've been fun If you would've been the one I have this dream you're doing cool shit Having the 1 I Can Do It With A Broken Heart the time of her life" There in her glittering prime The lights refract sequin stars Off her silhouette every night I can show you lies 'Cause I'm a real tough kid I can handle my shit They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it" And I did Lights, camera, bitch, smile Even when you want to die He said he'd love me all his life But that life was too short Breaking down, I hit the floor All the pieces I Can Do It With A Broken Heart All Too Well (10 Minute Version) into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone and That magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all Oh, oh, oh 'Cause there we are again on that little town street You almost All Too Well (10 Minute Version) The Bolter drowned When she was six in frigid water And I can confirm she made A curious child, ever reviled By everyone except her own father With a quite bewitching face Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless Excellent fun till you get to know her Then she runs like it's a race Behind her back, her best mates laughed And they nicknamed her The Bolter Started with a kiss "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" But it always ends up with a town car speeding Out the drive one evening Ended with the slam of a door Then he'll call her a whore Wish he wouldn't be sore But as she was leaving It felt like breathing All her fuckin' lives Flashed before her eyes It feels like the time She fell through the ice Then came out alive He was a cad, wanted her bad Just like any good trophy hunter And she liked the way it tastes Taming a bear, making him care Watching him jump then pulling him under And at first blush, this is fate When it's all roses, portrait poses Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats What a charming Saturday That's when she sees the littlest leaks Down in the floorboards And she just knows She must bolt Started with a kiss "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" But it always ends up with a town car speeding Out the drive one evening Ended with the slam of a door Then he'll call her a whore Wish he wouldn't be sore But as she was leaving It felt like breathing All her fuckin' lives Flashed before her eyes It feels like the time She fell through the ice Then came out alive She's been many places with Men of many faces First they're off to the races And she's laughing drawin' aces But, none of it is changin' That the chariot is waitin' Hearts are hers for the breakin' There's escape The Bolter Getaway Car , the prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinking And I was just drinking Well he was running after us, I was screaming, 'Go, go, go!' But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow And a circus ain't a love story And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry) "X" marks the spot, where we fell apart He poisoned the well, every man for himself I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart You were driving the getaway car We were flying, but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me We're riding in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car No, they never get far No, nothing good starts in a getaway car We were jet-set Bonnie and Clyde Until I switched to the other side To the other side It's no surprise, I turned Getaway Car Father Figure your rags into gold The winding road leads to the chateau "You remind me of a younger me" I saw potential I'll be your father figure I drink that brown liquor I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger This love is pure profit Just step into my office I dry your tears with my sleeve Leave it with me I protect the family Leave it with me I protect the family I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain Said, "They want to see you rise, they don't want you to reign" I showed you all the tricks of the trade All I ask for is your loyalty My dear protégé I'll be your father figure I drink that brown liquor I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger This love is pure profit Just step into my office They’ll know your name in the streets Father Figure Cassandra there's a ragin' riot When it's, "Burn the bitch", they're shrieking When the truth comes out it's quiet So they killed Cassandra first 'Cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say Do you believe me now? I was in my tower weaving nightmares Twisting all my smiles into snarls They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware What happens if it becomes who you are? So they killed Cassandra first 'Cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town So they set my life in flames, I regret to say Do you believe me now? They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time That I was onto somethin' The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line They all said nothin' Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul You can mark my words that I said it first In a mourning warning no one heard I patched up the crack along the wall I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying Cassandra Actually Romantic it makes you sick to see my face Wrote me a song saying it makes Actually Romantic Ours me want to take the stairs If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now, my time is theirs Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles But I don't care, 'cause right now, you're mine And you'll say Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and Your hands Ours Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus in the hair of somebody in darkness Named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus And I just watched it happen As the decade would play us for fools And you saw my bones out with somebody new Who seemed like he would've bullied you in school And you just watched it happen If you want to break my cold, cold heart Just say, "I loved you the way that you were" If you want to tear my world apart Just say you've always wondered You said some things that I can't unabsorb You turned me into an idea of sorts You needed me, but you needed drugs more And I couldn't watch it happen I changed into goddesses, villains, and fools Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules All to outrun my desertion of you And you just watched it If you want to break my cold, cold heart Just say, "I loved you the way that you were" If you want to tear my world apart Just say you've always wondered If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh Down that passage in time Back to the moment I crashed into you Like so many wrecks do Too impaired by my youth To know what to do So if I sell my apartment And you have some kids with an internet starlet Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon? Like it never happened Could it be enough to just float in your orbit? Can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses? Cooler in theory, but not if you force it To be, it just didn't happen So if you want to break my cold, cold heart Say you loved me And if you want to tear my world apart Say you'll always wonder Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus Vigilante Shit which one will be your last lie Sometimes I wonder which Vigilante Shit champagne problems is worse Because I dropped your hand while dancing Left you out there standing Crestfallen on the landing Champagne problems Your mom's ring in your pocket My picture in your wallet Your heart was glass, I dropped it Champagne problems You told your family for a reason You couldn't keep it in Your sister splashed out on the bottle Now no one's celebrating Dom Pérignon, you brought it No crowd of friends applauded Your hometown skeptics called it Champagne problems You had a speech, you're speechless Love slipped beyond your reaches And I couldn't give a reason Champagne problems Your Midas touch on the Chevy champagne problems Tim McGraw truck That had a tendency of gettin' stuck On back roads at night And I was right there beside him all summer Tim McGraw Better Than Revenge , and I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause She took him faster than you can say "Sabotage" I never saw it coming Better Than Revenge The Other Side Of The Door back for more And don't you leave 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone I keep goin' back over things we both said And I remember The Other Side Of The Door 'tis the damn season how you watched me leave But if it's okay with you It's okay with me We could call it even You could call me "babe" for the weekend 'Tis the damn season, write this down I'm staying at my parents' house And the road not taken looks real good now Time flies Messy as the mud on your truck tires Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out We could just ride around And the road not taken looks real good now And it always leads to you and my hometown Sleep in half the day Just for old times' sake I won't ask you to wait If you don't ask me to stay So I'll go back to LA And the so-called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it And wonder about the only soul who can tell which 'tis the damn season Dear John version of you I might get on the phone tonight Well, I stopped pickin' up And this song is to let you know why Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
