Who I Am

Nick Jonas & The Administration Who I Am Lyrics
1.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 sharpened
Rose garden, yeah
Rose garden

She was young but not naiive
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 sharpened
Rose garden

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 sharpened
In the rose garden, yeah
Rose


2.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

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.


3.Olive & an Arrow

We've never been into honesty
But promise me you'll let me know
When you're lying
She wants to be an eagle
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
That 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 its 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 kicks 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
That my love won't show
'Cause I know she'll give me
An olive and an arrow


4.Conspiracy Theory

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

Lock your lips
Don't you make sound
Cause the walls are thin
And the word is out
now

Better that you didn't know
Better that they didn't choke
That's right

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

Conspiracy theory
Gonna make you shake
Don't hit the brake
No time to waste now

Lock your lips
Better hit the road
Cause the one I'm waiting on is gonna fade away

Better that you didn't know
Better that they didn't choke
That's right

Why do we need to live in fear
Knowing that the words are real
This time

Conspiracy theory
Conspiracy theory

Conspiracy theory
Better keep it down
Cause the walls are thin
And the word is out

Lock your lips
Don't you make sound
Cause the walls are thin
And the word is out
now

Better that you didn't know
Better that they didn't choke
Why we need to live in fear
Knowing that the threats are real
This time

Yeah
na na na na...


5.In the End

Nick Jonas & The Administration - 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 lose
Well baby it all comes back to haunt you
In the end

Baby it hurts the most when you
Don't have a friend
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
That somebody will find you out
But you're not aware
That we know what you're all about

Picture yourself inside a room, now
All of your guilt comes down on you

Well baby it all comes back to haunt you in the end
Baby in hurts the most when you don't have a friend
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

You'll cry alone
And nobody will see you through
You made your choice
And there's nothing that you can do

Cause, Well baby it all comes back to haunt you
In the end
Baby it hurts the most when you don't have a friend
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
Oh, comes back to haunt you
All comes back to haunt you
In the end


6.Last Time Around

Yeah, oh oh.

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 its over but I'm just getting started.
I tried 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.

{It 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.


7.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
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight

Every single word's been said (Whoa oh oh oh)
Broke each other's hearts again (Oh oh oh)
As the starlit sky begins to shine, we're breakin' down
She screams out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight

We don't have to fight
Tonight
We just gotta try
Tonight
We don't have to fight
Tonight

So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight

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


8.State of Emergency

She's seductive
But she does it well
She'll charge you by the hour
For a straight trip down to hell
She'll correct you when 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 concerened
that when you touch th fire that your heart could still get
burned
I should warn you that I know
You're gonna let me go
You're gonna let me go.

See all those familiar face 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.

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 when you think you know
She's gonna let you go
She's gonna let you go

See all those familiar face 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 life'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 face crowded in my mind
I know that now is not the time
Run around with someone else
Satisfy yourself but dont fool me
Don'tcha let it be (repeat)
A state of emergency


9.Vesper's Goodbye

All of you
Has shaped me into what I am
Carried out the bigger 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

I found out
Nothing comes without a cost
Life was just a game we lost
Do you have a better thought
Oh, no

Now you're gone
Nothing's ever felt so wrong
A moment seems to last so long
But do you have to feel so strong

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

Now I die
Kiss your tender lips goodbye
Pray to God who hears my cry.


10.Stronger (Back on the Ground)

Wake up
To the alarm and the phone
Trying to stake out
Stuck in the world, don't belong
Sometimes
Something so right can be wrong
Feeling weak as
Gravity's taking its toll

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

When the sun shines
Down on my face (break me through?)
Old things that were once lost are anew
Hey!

I want to know I'm not the only one around
Can you show me something deeper than I've found?
I want to know that you'll be with me
When everything around is falling down
When I finally get these feet back on the ground
Woo hoo woo oo
Yeah!

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 m stronger
Than I've ever been now

I want to know I'm not the only one around
Can you show me something deeper than I've found?
I want to 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
Making me stronger
Making me stronger
Making me stronger
Making me stronger
Than I've ever been now
Making me stronger
Making me stronger
Making me stronger
Than I've ever been now
