Oh So Badly 03:39
You light the dark in every way Every second, every day I want you oh so badly The time we have is not enough To give you all of my love I want you oh so badly Inside your arms I feel alive You take the wrong and make it right I need you oh so badly You light the dark in every way Every second, every day I want you oh so badly Sweet dreams don't fail me now Heart beat don't fail me now Sweetheart don't fail me now Sweet dreams, heart beat, love me love me You gave me more than I could ask In every moment that ever past I want you oh so badly You light the dark up with your smile I must've been in denial I want you oh so badly Separate the truth from fact And watch how you react I need you oh so badly You light the dark in every way Every second, every day I want you oh so badly Sweet dreams don't fail me now Heart beat don't fail me now Sweetheart don't fail me now Sweet dreams, heart beat, love me love me Sweet dreams don't fail me now Heart beat don't fail me now Sweetheart don't fail me now Sweet dreams, heart beat, love me love me

At first there was nothing here Bound in disarray As soon as I closed my eyes I could breathe again You got so good at burning bridges That with the help of your words repeated I don't even believe I appear in Mirrors anymore At first it was so sincere True in every way But soon there was nothing left Like ashes in the rain You got so good at burning bridges That with the help of your words repeated I don't even believe I appear in Mirrors anymore Have a little patience with me Have a little peace of mind Have a little question for you: Help me waste my time? Have a little patience with me Have a little peace of mind Have a little question for you: Help me waste my time? At first there was nothing here Bound in disarray As soon as I closed my eyes I could breathe again You got so good at burning bridges That with the help of your words repeated I don't even believe I appear in Mirrors anymore (I wish we could've had...) Have a little patience with me Have a little peace of mind Have a little question for you: Help me waste my time? Have a little patience with me Have a little peace of mind Have a little question for you: Help me waste my time?

The back and forth The up and down Helps me catch my breath The in and out The upside down When there's nothing left Sacrifice Tell the lies Keep your head above the water Thaw the ice Pick a vice Or don't even bother Are you lost like me? Just keep swimming toward the shore Are you lost at sea? Just keep swimming toward the shore Down and out The turned around The best to ever happen The riff and raff The quiet laugh Keeps their fingers snapping Sacrifice Tell the lies Keep your head above the water Thaw the ice Pick a vice Or don't even bother Are you lost like me? Just keep swimming toward the shore Are you lost at sea? Just keep swimming toward the shore

In the middle of the lawn Faced up into the sun With nothing on her mind No, Just the warning signs Doesn't make a lot of sense That when the hardest part commenced She never looked away She never looked away Heart is beating in her chest If she could only catch her breath And find the strength to turn around And watch it all come crashing down Heart is beating in her chest If she could only catch her breath And find the strength to turn around And watch it all come crashing down I can be strong too In the middle of the lawn Faced up into the sun With nothing on her mind No, Just the warning signs Doesn't make a lot of sense That when the hardest part commenced She never looked away She never looked away I can be strong too

Before the song there was a feeling Before the words, there was a thought Before my life had any meaning You came along Before the lines there was the story Before the tears there was a smile Before my love had any meaning You came along And after the song After the words After the tears and after the verse I'll still be here Lucky as hell Before the song there was a feeling Before the tears there was a smile Before my love had any meaning You came along And after the song After the words After the tears and after the verse I'll still be here Lucky as hell As if you couldn't tell me a Hollywood love story Keep out the parts that were boring you Rewrite the song just to fit the idea As if you couldn't tell me a Hollywood love story Keep out the parts that were boring you Rewrite the song just to fit the idea As if you couldn't tell me a Hollywood love story Keep out the parts that were boring you Rewrite the song just to fit the idea As if you couldn't tell me a Hollywood love story Keep out the parts that were boring you If we end up back here that's just as well I'd be lucky as hell

There is an echo taking place There is an answer drawing near I should have known about it I should have seen it on your face They say a storm is on its way Based on the teardrops in your eyes I should have known about it I should have helped you feel alright Don't go to sleep angry Don't keep wasting this perfect thing we are Lightning in a bottle I'll give it all I've got We're heading nowhere fast man Fast as hell I have this smile shiny soul That hides the pain I feel inside And I can't live without you If I was a better man I'd try Don't go to sleep angry Don't keep wasting this perfect thing we are Lightning in a bottle I'll give it all I've got We're heading nowhere fast man Fast as hell

Staring out the window They say that when it rains it pours and Baby its been raining for days Are you out or endo? Cause I got everything you want Just come and find me, but watch what you say Don't ever let them tell you how to pray Oh it's hard to keep the confidence Don't ever let them tell you what to say The drinks are poured, so let it rain I am the face of trouble Cuz I know all your dirty secrets Do my best to try and keep them Come on, pop the bubble For every second here you wasted We could've gone and danced in the rain Instead I'm out the window They say that when it rains it pours and Baby its been raining for days Are you out or endo? Cause I got everything you want Just come and find me, but watch what you say Don't ever let them tell you how to pray Oh it's hard to keep the confidence Don't ever let them tell you what to say The drinks are poured, so let it rain
