she will be loved

beauty queen of only eighteen
she had some trouble with herself
he was always there to help her
she always belonged to someone else

i drove for miles and miles
and wound up at your door
i've had you so many times but somehow
i want more

i don't mind spending every day
out on your corner in the pouring rain
look for the girl with the broken smile
ask her if she wants to stay awhile
and she will be loved
and she will be loved

tap on my window knock on my door
i want to make you feel beautiful
i know i tend to get so insecure
it doesn't matter anymore

it's not always rainbows and butterflies
it's compromise that moves us along(yeeah)
my heart is full and my doors always open
you can come anytime you want(yeah!)

i don't mind spending every day
out on your corner in the pouring rain
look for the girl with the broken smile
ask her if she wants to stay awhile
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved

i know where you hide
alone in your car
know all of the things that make you who you are
i know that goodbye means nothing at all
comes back and begs me catch her every time she falls(yeeahh)

tap on my window,
knock on my door
i wanna make you feel beautiful

i don't mind spending every day
out on your corner in the pouring rain
look for the girl with the broken smile
ask her if she wants to stay awhile
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved

(tried so hard to say goodbye)

i dont mind spending everyday ( please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
out on your corner in the pouring rain (please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
(please don't try so hard to say goodbye)

this love

i was so high i did not recognize
the fire burning in her eyes
the chaos that controlled my mind
whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
never to return again
but always in my heart

oh…

this love has taken its toll on me
she said goodbye too many times before
her heart is breaking in front of me
i have no choice ‘cause i won't say goodbye anymore
oh... oh.. wo..

i tried my best to feed her appetite
keep her coming every night
so hard to keep her satisfied
oh, kept playing love like it was just a game
pretending to feel the same
then turn around and leave again

oh…

i'll fix these broken things
repair your broken wings
and make sure everything's alright
(it’s alright, it’s alright)
my pressure on your hips
sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
because i know that's what you want me to do

this love has taken its toll on me
she said goodbye too many times before
and her heart is breaking in front of me
and i have no choice ‘cause i won't say goodbye anymore

this love has taken its toll on me
she said goodbye too many times before
and my heart is breaking in front of me
she said goodbye too many times before

harder to breathe

how dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable
so condescending, unnecessarily critical
i have the tendency of getting very physical
so watch your step cause if i do you'll need a miracle

you drain me dry and make me wonder why i'm even here
this double vision i was seeing is finally clear
you want to stay but you know very well i want you gone
not fit to fuckin' tread the ground that i am walking on

when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
you'll understand what i mean when i say
there's no way we're gonna give up
and like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

what you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
you should know better you never listened to a word i said
clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
hoping somebody someday will do you like i did

when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
you'll understand what i mean when i say
there's no way we're gonna give up
and like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

does it kill
does it burn
is it painful to learn
that it's me that has all the control

does it thrill
does it sting
when you feel what i bring
and you wish that you had me to hold

when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
you'll understand what i mean when i say
there's no way we're gonna give up
and like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
