Release Me

The Like Release Me Lyrics
1.Wishing He Was Dead

If I could kick his head in, fickle little boyfriend, I'd be
satisfied
If I could smack some sense into his senses, I might feel
alright

'Cause I spent the weekend, waiting all alone
For that rat to come back home
When all the while, he was with somebody new
And now that I know, his hours are few

'Cause I just can't forgive and forget
When I'm through with him
He will be wishing he was dead
'Cause I know what he's been up to
And I know that he's been untrue
When I am through with he
He will be wishing he was dead

If I could snap that neck, that broken record trainwreck
I might feel okay
If he could speak the truth or just say sorry,
that would be the day

But he made me crazy, thinking I was wrong
That he wasn't cheatin' all along
When I gave him everything that I could give
Now he's gonna wish he'd never lived

'Cause I just can't forgive and forget
When I'm through with him
He will be wishing he was dead
'Cause I know what he's been up to
And I know that he's been untrue
When I am through with he
He will be wishing he was dead

And what can I do
And what can I say
To make it untrue
To take this pain away

'Cause I just can't forgive and forget
When I'm through with him
He will be wishing he was dead
'Cause I know what he's been up to
And I know that he's been untrue
When I am through with he
He will be wishing he was dead

When I am through with he
He will be wishing he was dead

When I am through with he
He will be wishing he was dead


2.He's Not A Boy

He's not a boy that you can change, nor should you want to
He's not a boy that you can tame, don't let it taunt you
Don't even try to to run away, he wouldn't stop you
He's not a boy that you can chain, I know you want to
And you can wait all night
You can wait all day but,
He's not a boy that you can change

We were up all night, talking trash and wasting time
When he says you're beautiful, it's not a line
But in the morning you might find that
he might have changed his mind
He can only fall in love for just one night

He's not a boy that you can change, nor should you want to
He's not a boy that you can tame, don't let it taunt you
Don't even try to to run away, he wouldn't stop you
He's not a boy that you can chain, I know you want to
And you can wait all night
You can wait all day but,
He's not a boy that you can change

Even when he lies he means every word he says
His delusions find their way inside your head
And he knows that beauty lies
But he likes it by his side
Just to take it for a ride until the mystery dies

You may say 'why, don't you realize,
I could give you everything?'
But, you see he can't be tied,
Contained, or satisfied by all
You could bring

He's not a boy that you can change, nor should you want to
He's not a boy that you can tame, don't let it taunt you
Don't even try to to run away, he wouldn't stop you
He's not a boy that you can tame, I know you want to
And you can wait all night
You can wait all day but,
He's not a boy that you can change
He's not a boy that you can save
He's not a boy that you can change


3.Release Me

Wish you knew I'm not the one for you
You're not the one for me, and I can't stand it
After all I put you through, you're still just stuck like glue
Why don't you run from me, 'cause I can't leave you
Before I break your heart release me

Oh, mine is such a sorry state, I gave my heart away
When I could love with grit and gut and reckless unrestraint
Those were the days

I wish you knew I'm not the one for you
You're not the one for me, and I can't stand it
After all I put you through, you're still just stuck like glue
Why don't you run from me, 'cause I can't leave you
Before I break your heart, release me

Oh you're a boy that I could love, and all I do is run
But still I keep you hoping someday soon our day will come
And it never does

I wish you knew I'm not the one for you
I'm just a sad excuse for what you long for
And after all I do, you're still just stuck like glue
Why don't you run from me, 'cause I can't leave you
Before I break your heart release me

Nothing ever changes, people never change
So passion turns to sheer complusion, then love turn to hate

I wish you knew I'm not the one for you
You're not the one for me, and I can't stand you
After all you put me through, I'm still just stuck like glue
Why don't you run from me, 'Cause I can't leave you
Before I break your heart, before it breaks my heart
Before you break my heart, release me
Release me
Release me
Release me


4.Walk Of Shame

It's another beautiful day
And I can feel it rising up in my throat
It was just one of those days
When you wake up and you think you're still at home

Takes a flash to figure it out
But in your memory you might find some holes
Oh, like the last 6 hours
That made you realize you're sleeping on the floor
On someone else's floor

Oh, time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the night was calling
Time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the day is dawning

Here's another thing to explain
And I've got 25 missed calls on my phone
Oh won't you leave me alone
So I can brutalize my life all on my own

Hello stranger, what is your name?
And can you tell me where we are
Oh god oh no. Tell me we didn't... Oh
Thank god ok well now I've gotta go
I've gotta get home

Oh! Time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the night was calling
Time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the day is dawning

Pick a path, oh any old one
It can't get worse than what I've already done
I know this used to be fun
But party's over now I'm feeling deaf and dumb
Oh what have I become!

Oh! Time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the night was calling
Time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the day is dawning

Time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the night was calling
Time to do the walk of shame
Hide your face, the day is dawning


5.Narcissus In A Red Dress

Where a little girl once stood
Now sits an empty base
Cold and shiny
Hard and tiny
Difficult to wash away
Oh, monsters get creative every day.

And nothing can prepare you for the day they run away
You'll find too late she's no longer needed
So you sealed your fate
One minute, she's your best friend
Then you watch her take your place
I guess that taught them all the same
You clever little charlatans
Ambition gleams in all the drought
And I can't take it

What goes up must come on down
Get your feet back on the ground
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, Miss
Blinded by your own reflection
Let the lights direct you now
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, I know.
I know.

Behave and like the Virgin Queen
You're just as damaged underneath
You know,
No matter how good your impersonation of me ever grows,
Deep down you know your insides never change

But people love it, that bitten chain was simply lacking taste
They fall for the spell of Lady Macbeth
Her calculated grace
But I can see the hunger of compulsion in your face
High school skinny fades away
And you're just left with Polaroids
Capturing your fifteen minutes
Ain't it great?

What goes up must come on down
Get your feet back on the ground
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, miss
Blinded by your own reflection
Let the lights direct you know
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, I know
I know

Vanity on parade
Vacant, frantic, and strange
Bought with heartache and desperation
Guess I loved you in vain,
Consider this song your wake
Lost your head to the elevation
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't bring you back again

What goes up must come on down
Get your feet back on the ground
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, miss
Blinded by your own reflection
Let the lights direct you know
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest

What goes up must come on down
Get your feet back on the ground
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, miss
Blinded by your own reflection
Let the lights direct you know
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, I know
I know


6.I Can See It In Your Eyes

Knock knock knock, you're knocking
On my window last night
This fire's been out for some time
You told me it was over with her,
That's not quite right
You said I was your life
So be min, so be mine

Things are rough enough
Won't you toughen up
Please just make up your mind
How could I be so blind
I can see it in your eyes
Yes, I see it in your eyes
When you lie
I see it in your eyes

You'll never leave her will you, baby? I understand
You'll never grow up, or be a man
And I'd wait a thousand years for you,
But this I demand
Just tell me where I stand
Take my hand, I know you can

She keeps calling me
I can't take it
She thinks I'm really her friend
I think we're near in the end
I can see it in your eyes
Yes, I see it in your eyes
When you lie
I see it in your eyes

So crooked mouths speak crooked words
That ruin you for other girls
I don't know how to conjugate a lie
My crooked eyes have crooked tears,
You turned the tables on me, dear
I was so shocked I couldn't even cry

I can see it in your eyes
Yes, I see it in your eyes
When you lie
I see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes


7.Fair Game

Switching patrtner like a square dance
Just watch where you're going
There are limbs akimbo, flying wildly
Just watch out now, don't get hit!
You want in our scene? Hungry like the wolf
This wasn't my dream, but everyday keeps getting better
We only look mean, crazy like a fox
Things aren't how they seem, right?

It's all fair game anyway
It's all fair game anyway

Just a teeny bit immoral
Fiercely pessimistic but we're one big family
What's that daring, Who says family doesn't kiss?
Oh, every gang's a bit incestuous
It's just a game and if you know the rules you can't get hurt
We're all the same, a bit tempestuous
But we're just restless, right?

It's all fair game anyway
It's all fair game when you play

Have you got the heart and have you got the guts?
It's not a sport but who says life should be so boring?
We find your rules a bit extraneous
We leave you breathless, right?

It's all fair game anyway
It's all fair game anyway
It's all fair game when you play
The rules are strange but aren't they great?


8.Square One

I'm just down the block, what it is you want?
Guess it's just my luck, now I'm having fun
You want me to come, you want me to come
I'm back at square one

Nights unravelling
You're not having it
Everything's been done
Each thing that I would say or do
Has been taken by someone
I think I've lost the plot
Not drunk enough to talk
Need you to fix me up
I'm lost

I'm just down the block, what it is you want?
Guess it's just my luck, now I'm having fun
I'm back at square one

Nights unravelling
You're not having it
Everything's been done
Each thing that I would say or do
Has been taken by someone
I think I've lost the plot
Not drunk enough to talk
Need you to fix me up
I'm lost

I'm just down the block, what it is you want?
Guess it's just my luck, now I'm having fun
I'm back at square one


9.In The End

A shift in shapes has come about
And no one's safe or sacred now
But isn't that much better than
The limbo we were living in

Diaspora or renaissance
Blame mercury or fate or chance
Changes always come in packs,
Sniffing out your darkened doorsteps

And when the words run out
The quiet's just as loud

When the world is upside down
And we're walking on our hands
But we keep on spinning round
And who knows where we'll land
In the end
In the end

The moon it moves in cycles and
We're subject to its will, its whims
The tide, the time, the age, the law
Run back and forth from idle dogs

History is not a highway
Straight an narrow always
But a roundabout and round again
We ride around and hope for change

And when the state's drawn out
The break is twice as loud

Then the world is upside down
And we're walking on our hands
But we keep on spinnin' round
And who knows where we'll land
In the end
In the end

This is the end of stagnant days
Time to give up the way
I stand my ground, oh stand my ground

Then the world is upside down
And we're walking on our hands
But we keep on spinnin' round
And who knows where we'll land
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end


10.Trouble In Paradise

I see trouble in paradise, but that's just my eyes
You did your time, lit it go, Ruby don't cry

Be careful, your one life to live is sleeping
And it's almost too gone
I need you to keep yourself alive and kicking
So I hope I'm wrong
When I see the signs of my worst fears dawning on and on
I hope I've lost my touch to see your heart

'Cause I see trouble in paradise, but that's just my eyes
You did your time, lit it go, Ruby don't cry
I see trouble in paradise, but that's just my eyes
You've lost your glow, let me know, Ruby don't lie

You promised you'd never give in to your sickness
Did you mean it at all?
Just promise you'll let me back in if you need it
Baby give me a shot
Pupils wide like blurry pools, your lips are cracked and dry
Just tell me that my instincts aren't all right

'Cause I see trouble in paradise, but that's just my eyes
You did your time, lit it go, Ruby don't cry
I see trouble in paradise, but that's just my eyes
You've lost your glow, let me know, Ruby don't lie

Wait, growing up is a sad affair
You don't get a chance to prepare
'Til it's too late and you've been broken
Hey, I hear the grave is a lonely place
Just remember the hearts that break
As you keep sinking lower lower
Don't just leg go!

I see trouble in paradise, but that's just my eyes
You did your time, lit it go, Ruby don't cry
I see trouble in paradise tell me that it's just my eyes
You've lost your glow,
Let it go, Ruby don't cry
Let me know, Ruby don't lie
Let it go, Ruby don't die!


11.Catch Me If You Can

I won
Now that I've got the prize, I've lost the plot
I'm done
Now that the fight is gone, we've lost the fun

It started with fire, now we're just cinders
Covered in ash and burning out fingers
Trying to hold on but I'm just falling faster

I promise,
I don't hate you, but I don't love you at all.
So let's stop pretending.

So long
Feel bad for all the pain I might have caused
My fault
Guess I'm just not the girl you thought I was.

I'm all about chances, madness and mayhem
Try to sit still, now I miss the chase
And now that it's over, I just can't run fast enough

I promise,
I don't hate you, but I don't love you at all.
So let's stop pretending.
I don't hate you, but I don't love you
It's not the way I planned, but nothing is.

It's an age-old story
Starting to bore me
So I'll keep run, running away
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can

It started with fire, not it's just embers
Once the sparks fly, they're hard to remember
Gotta move on so I just keep on moving

I'm sorry,
I don't hate you, but I don't love you at all.
So let's stop pretending.
I don't hate you, but I don't love you
It's not the way I planned, but nothing is.


12.Don't Make A Sound

I set the scene to tell the tale
Who could have known this face would pale?
Life is never what you want
Unless you plan it from the start
Now wouldn't that be smart?

Don't make a sound, as I cry out
Is that what love is all about?
Don't make a sound, as I call out
I know that's not what's love about
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound

So this is how it always goes
And what is real, we'll never know
Trust me now I know firsthand
My fiction leads my real life and
This isn't what I planned

Don't make a sound as I cry out
Is that what love is all about?
Don't make a sound as I call out
I know that's not what's love about
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound

My melody's my malady, my hand inscribes my grave
I told you once I'll tell you twice there's nothing left to say
I don't know what I've been told, my memory escaped
But don't try to refresh my mind, I've reasoned it that way
Just shhhhhhhhh...

Don't make a sound as I cry out
Is that what love is all about?
Don't make a sound as I call out
I know that's not what's love about
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound


13.Why When Love Is Gone
