Fifteen.

Sitting up at night wondering what went wrong
Crying to myself thinking bout how we were so strong
Sleep doesn't come as easily anymore
Coz' you just turned your back on me and walked out the door

Sitting by myself at the park where we first had
Our very first kiss, felt like magic, when you held my hand
Baby why did you leave me in the dark
Baby why did you leave me with my broken heart
Coz' I miss you

You ain't ever gon' find another
girl like me who could talk to you all day long
You ain't ever gon' find another
girl like me who would hold you till the early morn
You ain't ever gon' find another
girl like me who would sit here writing you love songs
Can't you see what you're doing to me
This is our goodbye, can't say that we didn't try

3 weeks gone and I'm still just sitting here alone
Glad we can still talk like how we've always known
But this part of me is just hurting inside
Wishing that you'd see just how much I want you by my side
But you let me go

You ain't ever gon' find another
girl like me who could talk to you all day long
You ain't ever gon' find another
girl like me who would hold you till the early morn
You ain't ever gon' find another
girl like me who would sit here writing you love songs
Can't you see what you're doing to me
This is our goodbye, can't say that we didn't try

Then you tell me that you think you're still in love with me
Suppressing parts of you you wish you didn't have to see
You said that you were hurting too
That you never even had a clue
How to take it all back, take it back, take it back

But I don't wanna take you back
At least not 4 years down the track
Coz' what if you find someone new
who would do all the things I did

Maybe then you'll find another
girl like me who could talk to you all day long
Maybe then you'll find another
girl like me who would hold you till the early morn
Maybe then you'll find another
girl like me who would sit here writing you love songs
Maybe she could be the future me
A few years down the line, let's give it another try

Fourteen.

Can you see the girl with the tired eyes
living day to day, trying to hide
the fact that nothing's left for her
just a broken doll in a broken world

She looks in the mirror and what does she see?
Nothing but a stitched-on smile that deceives
everyone around her, except for him
coz' he knows exactly what he did

oh, he popped her seams and he took her heart
kept it in a box and let it wither to dust
he left her crying on the bathroom floor
with the torn up threads of her former love

Can you see the girl with the empty eyes
So sick of tired of all of the lies
he fed to her while he left to burn
that little piece of her she needed to love

torn and unable to patch herself up
she's taken to watching herself fall apart
Fall, fall, falling into a deep, dark hole
till there's nothing left of her
nothing at all

oh, he popped her seams and he took her heart
kept it in a box and let it wither to dust
he left her crying on the bathroom floor
with the torn up threads of her former love

Breaking, breaking, he broke her heart
Creeping, creeping, something's in the dark
Liars, liars, all pretending to care
About this doll who's no longer there

Breaking, breaking, he broke her heart
Creeping, creeping, something's in the dark
Liars, liars, all pretending to care
About this doll who's no longer there

Thirteen.

i remember the day when
you first turned to me
and told me that you loved the way i smiled
you took my hand in yours and
looked into my soul
taught me how to be all I can be

but you left anyway
didn't care to stay
what am I to do now that love
and passion's gone

didn't see this coming
and it brought me to my knees
i took my chances loving you
yet you ran the other way
don't you know i miss you
that i wish everyday
you would see the mistakes
that you've made and be
broken just like me

We used to be so perfect
as in love as we could be
we used to laugh about everything
sharing secrets in the night
as you laid next to me
felt like we were always meant to be

but you closed that door
and it shook me to the core
what am I do to now that you're
no longer there

didn't see this coming
and it brought me to my knees
i took my chances loving you
yet you ran the other way
don't you know i miss you
that i wish everyday
you would see the mistakes
that you've made and be
broken just like me

so tired from the games you played
from this never-ending pain
you left me here without a clue
painted me this shade of blue

but you turned around
and I couldn't make a sound
you left me shaking with
the promises you didn't keep

didn't see this coming
and it brought me to my knees
i took my chances loving you
yet you ran the other way
don't you know i miss you
that i wish everyday
you would see the mistakes
that you've made and be
broken just like me

Twelve.

Imagine this, what I feel
What we had was so real
But you crossed that line
we'll never be fine
Imagine this, you and me
and our little dreams
you broke it all for
someone else

You made a mess, now clean it up
Take all your trash and watch it burn, burn, burn

Babe you did me wrong
You did me wrong
Maybe it's better now you're gone
You did me wrong
you did me wrong
time for me to move along

Imagine this, what I see
A perfect symmetry
Something we were
but now you've left me for her
Imagine this, can't believe
you two could be so cheap
Take back all your words
and shove it in your face

You broke my heart, now I'm patching it up
Gonna hunt you down and watch you burn, burn, burn

Babe you did me wrong
You did me wrong
Maybe it's better now you're gone
You did me wrong
you did me wrong
time for me to move along

You know it didn't have to be this way
instead you made the choice to leave that day
When all is said and all is done
Nothing will change the fact that
my heart weighs a tonne

Babe you did me wrong
You did me wrong
Maybe it's better

Babe you did me wrong
you did me wrong
And I'll be better though you're gone
you did me wrong
you did me wrong
hope that you're happy with what you've done

what you've done, you've done. ohhh

Verse 1
C#, B, F#m, A
Keep still,
this silence will /take you/ over
Hold you/ like a lover should
like he never could
waiting
for something/ to happen
and we /break free from this pattern

Pre-Chorus
B, G#m7, A
this broken part / of me and you
is just a little hard to bear

Chorus
E, C#m, B, A
And we try to forget things
Even though it may seem like
we're denying the truth/
we're spiraling down
this empty space
In the end we'll see it's just a fantasy

Lick (C#, B, A)

C#, B, F#m, A
Keep still,
don't say a word or make a sound
watch as this room comes
crumbling down
We're falling
faster into this mystery
losing grip
of gravity

B, G#m7, A
Pre-Chorus

E, C#m, B, A
Chorus

Bridge
Conspiring thoughts collide and crash
for lives that we wished we could have
Pretending that there's nothing here
for us to see
( F#min7/G#min7/C#min/B)

Ten.


My baby is 6000 miles away
Can't even hold him at the end of this day
Thought I was just fine
Thought I didn't mind
But I miss my baby who's
6000 miles away

F, Dm, F, Dm, C, Bb, C

My baby he, oh he works so hard
To give me all he can even though we're apart
Can't believe that I
have someone like him
Makes me miss my baby who's
6000 miles away

My baby he, lives across the sea
Over the blue and green, where I long to be
How I wish I could
Fly home like the birds
Just to see my baby who's
6000 miles away

Feels like this space between us
is making me lose my mind
but it's alright coz soon i'll be home with him again

(Bb9, Asus, A7/C#, Dmin7, Gsus, G7, Gmin7, C2/A, Bb, G/B, Bb/C)

And my baby is 6000 miles away
I can't wait to hold him in my arms again
Soon I'll be crossing
that ocean so wide
Back to my baby who's
6000 miles away

Coz I'm going back to my baby who's 6000 miles away.

Just Leave.

You, walk up to me and say
That I'm all you ever wanted
And that I could be the one
Well, guess what
You're just looking for some fun
You were just always late
Always stuck in your own head
You always thought that you were so great
Well guess what
I'm tired of it, I don't need this

Chorus
I just can't see a life with you and
How can I breathe when you never let me
Be who I am supposed to be
You got me down on my knees
Begging you please
Just leave so
Say your goodbyes
I'm tired of your lies
Bet that you thought I'd get lost in your eyes
You were never good enough for me
So get up, get up, get up
Baby, just leave.

You, turned my life all around
Said you picked me up off the ground
Made a mess of it instead
Well, guess what
It don't mean a thing now
All you did was complain
Said this love was a foolish game
Didn't think that I'd catch on
Well, guess what
Was waiting for this
for so long

Chorus

Bridge
Then you ask me to stay
Didn't mean to hurt me that way
Hurt that way but

Chorus
