My roses are dead
All my pills are blue
The house is a wreck
My head is too
Constantly spinning
Outrunning the minutes
I'm just trying to breathe
At the end of the day
When my heartbeat's running low
Don't have to say a thing
Lean into you and fall like a domino
Yeah, I fall like a domino
Yeah, I fall like a domino
Tattoos are faded
I'm covering tracks
I'm trying my hardest
To not go back
There's nothing to help
And there's nobody else
Who could pull me up out of this painAt the end of the day
When my hеartbeat's running low
Don't have to say a thing
Lean into you and fall likе a domino
Yeah, I fall like a domino
Yeah, I fall like a domino

You said you're here for the summer
I know everybody wants her
Tugging on my Members Only jacket
Put your number in my pocket
Maybe we could be friends
After the song ends
Then you had my tongue up in a knot
Underneath the skylit parking lot
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
We took a ride in your dad's Corvette
At sunset
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You kissed me before you flipped the cassette
I'll never forget
The way you grabbed me when Harry met Sally
You made me laugh like an 80's movie
You drove me crazy like
Baby and Swayze
Laying in the grass like an 80's movie
Hopeless romantic, now we're dirty dancing
I had the time of my life
I know you're a mistake and I'm heading for heartbreak
So I take your hand like an 80's movieSaid you're gonna be leaving
I didn't wanna believe it
Standing there like a wallflower
With my Ray-Bans on at the water tower
I pretend that I don't care
Run my hands through your Tom Cruise hair
Drove us up to the top of the city
Spray paint our names in the graffiti
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
We took off in your dad's Corvette
That ain't yours yet
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You kissed me before you flipped the cassette
I'll never forget
The way you grabbed me when Harry met Sally
You made me laugh like an 80's movie
You drove me crazy like Baby and Swayze
Laying in the grass like an 80's movie
Hopeless romantic, now we're dirty dancing
I had the time of my life
I know you're a mistake but I'm heading for heartbreak
So I take your hand like an 80's movieLike an 80's movie
Like an 80's movie
Hopeless romantic, now we're dirty dancing
I had the time of my life (Like an 80's movie)

We said we wouldn't get jobs and we'd burn our bras
We wouldn't turn out nothing like our moms
I didn't, but I wish I did
We all got drunk, and we all got laid
Drove the Ford to the levy, said fuck the Chevrolet
My friends grew up, and my friends had kids
Now, I'm watching all the people walking down the streets
And the losers kicking rocks look just like me
I wish I was still sixteen
And I didn't know the world was so damn mean
I wish I was naive
I wish I was sixteen
Déjà vu, been here before
I fucked you on this hotel floor
I'm here again, but I'm all alone
I'm watching all the people walking down the street
And thе losers kicking rocks look just like me
I wish I was still sixteen
And I didn't know thе world was so damn mean
I wish I was naive
I wish I was sixteen
I thought we'd grow old, and I'd take your name
Spend Friday nights playing board games
And tucking our kids in bed at homeNow, I'm watching all the people walking down the street
And the losers kicking rocks look just like me
I wish I was still sixteen
And I didn't know the world was so damn mean
I wish I was naive
I wish I was naive
I wish I was sixteen
We said we wouldn't get jobs and we'd burn our bras
We wouldn't turn out nothing like our moms

You can mean well, you can still break me down
I believe in hell 'cause baby I can feel it now
Always hangin' on the edge, change of heart, turn to red
Plantin' flowers in my hair, aimin' for love, hittin' me instead
I never know when you're gonna stay or you're gonna leave
Bullets are roses, always rainin' down on me
Are you gonna give me paradise?
Are you gonna shoot everything you see?
I never know when it's guns and roses
Chasin' after you feels a littlе dangerous
I could give it all but it nevеr is enough
Just when I think we're friends, all of your words turn to lead
Plantin' flowers in my hair, aimin' for love, hittin' me instead
I never know when you're gonna stay or you're gonna leave
Bullets are roses, always rainin' down on me
Are you gonna give me paradise?
Are you gonna shoot everything you see?
I never know when it's guns and rosesSo unpredictable
So unpredictable
I never know what I'm gonna get
I never know what I'm gonna get
Always hangin' on the edge, change of heart, turn to red
Plantin' flowers in my hair, aimin' for love, hittin' me instead
I never know when you're gonna stay or you're gonna leave
Bullets are roses, always rainin' down on me
Are you gonna give me paradise?
Are you gonna shoot everything you see?
I never know when it's guns and roses
I never know when it's guns and roses -

Alanis, how did you ever keep your sanity?
Alanis, lived out your pain through sweet profanity
Your heart, it was bleeding
When you told all your secrets
And they showed no sympathy
Alanis, how did you ever keep your sanity?
Scream on the stage and let out the rage
Till the lights go dark
Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow
While they pick you apart
Oh, Alanis
Alanis, your anger was a medicine I didn't know I would need
I'm finding there's not much difference between you and me
You understand all the thoughts in my head
That make my words extreme
Alanis, you're the medicine I didn't know I would need
Scream on the stage and let out the rage
Till the lights go dark
Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow
While they pick you apart
One hand in my pocket
Yeah, the truth is shocking
When there's nothing to lose
I know how to be brave
Keep the demons away
All because of you
Oh, AlanisAlanis, how did you ever keep your sanity?
Scream on the stage and let out your rage
Till the lights go dark
Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow
While they pick you apart
One hand in my pocket
Yeah, the truth is shocking
When there's nothing to lose

Keep the demons away
All because of you

When I met you as young and as dumb and my hair was black
Gettin' drunk at a bar downtown, quotin' Sylvia Plath
I loved you so hard but you didn't seem to love me back
Now I'm older and sober and my hair ain't black
You're not closin' any bars down with me on a Thursday night anymore
I'm still missin' how you looked inside a cigarette light standin' by the door
We're said and done and now you're movin' 'cross the country
You found someone, I'm still acceptin' that it's not me
All the words we've ever said are bouncin' off the ceiling
I try not to but I still have phantom feelings
Well, you finally got another tattoo and I didn't even know
I thought you'd tell me, hell I thought that I would go
I bet hat northern air is cold when you're all alone
You finally got another tattoo and I didn't even know
You're not closin' any bars down with me on a Thursday night anymore
But I'm still missin' how you looked inside a cigarette light standin' by the doorWe're said and done and now you're movin' 'cross the country
You found someone, I'm still acceptin' that it's not me
All the words we've ever said are bouncin' off the ceiling
I try not to but I still have phantom feelings
I still have phantom feelings
We're said and done and now you're movin' 'cross the country
You found someone, I'm still acceptin' that it's not me
All the words we've ever said are bouncin' off the ceiling
I try not to but I still have phantom feelings -

You say I'm a psychopath
Sittin' at the bar, drinkin' my coffee black
You look at me and you start to laugh
You say I am a psychopath
You were born a wild child
Ridin' down the road, messin' with my radio dial
You give me a sinister smile
You were born a wild child
And I love you just because
But sayin', "I love you" don't feel like enough
One day I'll return to dust
Was there life before there was us?
Was there life before there was us?
Can't I steal you away from here
Drive somewhere wherе the view is clear
All of your drеams are your parent's fears
But can I steal you away from here?
And I love you just because
But sayin', "I love you" don't feel like enough
One day I'll return to dust
Was there life before there was us?
Was there life before there was us?You might be the death of me
Throw my ashes out in the sea
Get drunk and give your eulogy
You might be the death of me
And I love you just because
But sayin', "I love you" don't feel like enough
One day I'll return to dust
Was there life before there was us?
Was there life before there was us?
Was there life before, before there was us?
You say I'm a psychopath

You used to send me love songs
Now I don't wanna play them anymore
Don't wanna play 'em no more
We used to talk all night long
Now you don't call me anymore
You don't call me no more
And I don't even know what happened
And I don't really care
You can get on the highway
You could fly to the moon
Go get drunk in some hotel
Go to church or straight to hell
You can leave me
Try to unlove me
But you can't outrun me
You, you can't outrun me
You
Been here standing in your shadow
It'll be me in that silhouette
In that silhouette
No mattеr how far you go
You'll find me roaming 'round in your air
In your every brеathYou can get on the highway
You could fly to the moon
Go get drunk in some hotel
Go to church or straight to hell
You can leave me
Try to unlove me
But you can't outrun me
You, you can't outrun me
You
And I don't even know what happened
I don't really care
No matter where you run to
I'm already there
You can get on the highway
You could fly to the moon
Go get drunk in some hotel
Go to church or straight to hell
You can leave me
Try to unlove me
But you can't outrun me
You, you can't outrun me
You, you can't outrun me -

You've been teasing me all this time
But you can't change a one track mind
You can't sway me, I'm too hard-headed
When I'm set on something I'm gonna get it
I know what I want
I know what I want
I know what I want
And baby, it's you
Can't you love me all night long?
Don't care where we are, push me up against the wall
Don't say no, just scream my name
Don't hold back, I crave the pain
I know what I want
I know what I want
I know what I want
And baby, it's you
I want you so bad
It's tearing me up
We don't have to say forever
We don't have to call it loveCan't you just love me all night long?
Don't care where we are, push me up against the wall
I know what I want
I know what I want
I know what I want
And baby, it's you
I want you so bad
It's tearing me up
We don't have to say forever
We don't have to call it love
I know what I want
I know what I want
I know what I want
And baby, it's you -

I don't know what time zone you're in
But I, I hit you up like, I need a friend
And I know that you can't pretend
That this a fairytale, and you ain't scared how it will end
But it's fine, I don't care
Wanna take off your clothes, wanna mess up your hair
You said you love my honest words
I got shit better than this that you haven't even heard
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me
Get caught up in me while you're overseas
Wait until you see me in person
Make that feeling worsen and you'll be cursing
Can't you see I'm what you need?
Make you hit your knees, pull out that ring
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me
You said you hate that I'm a writer
I've been working really hard, I've been pulling all-nighters
You text me from the yacht, you're sipping cider
Don't worry, I ain't tipping off Insider
But I'm drunk on Hemingway dreams
Fitzgerald ain't got nothing on me (Nothing on me)
Like the Bible, make you believe
You were blind (You were blind), but you're gonna seeI'm gonna make you fall in love with me
Get caught up in me while you're overseas
Wait until you see me in person
Make that feeling worsen and you'll be cursing
Can't you see I'm what you need?
Make you hit your knees, pull out that ring
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me
Mm, gonna make you fall in love with me
I don't know what time zone you're in
But I, I hit you up like, I need a friend
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me
Get caught up in me while you're overseas
Wait until you see me in person
Make that feeling worsen and you'll be cursing

Make you hit your knees, pull out that ring
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me

Why the hell can't I meet somebody?
All these people want to do is fuck someone at the party
I won't lie, sometimes I miss our sex
But I ain't about to go hit up an ex
We don't talk anymore, and it feels so strange
I know I ain't seen you in a while
I forgot how you taste, I forgot how you smile
I deleted your number anyway
Why the hell can't I meet somebody?
All these people want to do is fuck someone at the party, and
I don't wanna steal peaches in the dark
I wanna give someone my еntire heart
Hey, hеy, hey, I wanna meet somebody
Wake up, miss you, and repeat
Some days I miss how we kiss, other days I wish we didn't meet
I guess I'm still on the fence, yeah
Maybe you're out there somewhere missing me
Maybe someone somewhere is giving you what you need
I guess it is what it is
Why the hell can't I meet somebody?
All these people want to do is fuck someone at the party, and
I don't wanna steal peaches in the dark
I wanna give someone my entire heart
Hey, hey, hey, I wanna meet somebody
Hey, hey, hey, I wanna meet somebodyWhy the hell can't I meet somebody?
All these people want to do is fuck someone at the party
Why the hell can't I meet somebody?
All these people want to do is fuck someone at the party, and
I don't wanna steal peaches in the dark

Hey hey, I thought that you would call me
Are you still kinda high
Coming down from the Molly
Oh, it's fine. I ain't on anyone's mind
And I know that I gotta have faith
But it's kinda fucking hard at the end of every day
Stuck in my mind
Like all the time
And some nights when I'm feeling suicidal
I could reach for the gun, I could reach for the bottle
But it's great
At least, now I'm getting paid
And it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And suddenly you're gone
I'm out in LA with a Beverly Hills hottie
The kind that wants to go and sniff the pills off my body
Only knows me 'cause I wrote the song about the hotel lobby
But trust me, all my wilder days are behind meI'm laying in bed at the Chateau
With someone I saw on TV but I barely even know
Small talk for a second then I gotta leave
Walk out separate, you're famous, you can't be seen with me
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And suddenly you're gone
I don't know if I would call it luck
But I, I didn't make the twenty-seven club
I'm twenty-eight
So, y'all ain't gotta dig my grave
Yeah, it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And suddenly you're gone
