Another Man 03:04
lyrics

Come down, little bird I swear there's no harm if you do Want to feel your breath on me Want to keep me close to you But that's not in the cards That's not a part of your plans You want to leave me For another man You say it's all my paranoia You tell me not to say those words With the way you treat me and avoid me How am I supposed to feel assured? No, I'm not in your cards I'm not a part of your plan You want to leave me For another man I'm sorry it's been so long I'm sorry that you're bored I'm sorry if you didn't get enough attention I'm sorry every time you do something you think you deserve a reward No, I'm not in your cards I'm not a part of your plan I spent years trying to earn you love Now it's gone with a wave of your hand You want to leave me For another man

The Forgotten 04:48

Let's go driving past city limits tonight I hear the streetlights shine like stars Come on, it's our chance to get out of this place These people, they don't know who we are We've been told that we are ugly We've been told that we are weird Well, they beat us down and they kicked us in But, girl, I swear they won't find us here We are the forgotten We are the forgotten We are the forgotten, babe Well, let's forget them too In my car, I put the windows down, down So I can feel the wind on my skin Almost makes me feel human So I'll pick you up at a quarter 'til 9 And we'll make our last go around Speeding down that blacktop into the dark We'll see if they remember us in this town We were told we were ugly We were told that we were weird Well, they beat us down and they kicked us in But, girl, I know they can't find us here. We are the forgotten We are the forgotten We are the forgotten, babe Well, let's forget them too

Just a Memory 03:09
lyrics

First date, too late I've already fallen in love with you Time moves slow, it started long ago Now, I just don't know what to do 'Cause don't you know it's been a long time? Don't you know it's been a long time? Since both of us felt that good? I remember you in your white summer dress Forget your shoes, our toes playing in the grass I loved the way you'd look at me Love your soft smile, I miss making you happy 'Cause don't you know it's been a long time? Don't you know it's been a long time? Since both of us felt that good? So you remember me and I'll remember you And I'll remember our love is just a memory too Didn't think that it was possible For two people to get too comfortable I just assumed you'd always be there I'd listen to your problems but I wouldn't really care 'Cause don't you know it's just the same thing? Don't you know it's just the same thing? That you complain about everyday? So you remember me and I'll remember you And I'll remember our love is just a memory too I'll remember you

Stuck With You 03:03
lyrics

Staring at the gutter Hoping I don't fall in Pillow on my head Wishing I was dead Everyone is staring But I don't want to move I'm sick of all their whining And my headache, I can't soothe Someday I'll be free With others beside me You'll be a forgotten look A stain across my picture book 'Cause I can't stand another lie Or another sight of you The more that time goes by The less that I can do I think I finally realized The problem isn't me I'm sure that I'll be happy Once I get away from these three 'Cause my head is always pounding And my ears are always full And my voice is never used 'Cause the conversation's coming from you Someday I'll be free With others beside me You'll be a forgotten look A stain across my picture book 'Cause I can't stand another lie Or another sight of you The more that time goes by The less that I can do I guess I'm stuck with you
