Don't Tell Me

You held my hand
and walked me home, I know
While you gave me that kiss
you were something like this
It made me go ooh ooh
You wiped my tears
got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough
to take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust

Did I not tell you
that I'm not like that girl,
the one who gives it all away?

Refrain
Did you think that
I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that
it was somethin' I was gonna do, and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way

Don't think that you're charming,
and the fact that your arm
is now around my neck
Got you in my pants
I'll have to kick your ass
and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
thought I liked you a lot
But I'm really upset, really upset
Get outta my head,
get off of my bed
Yeah that's what I said

Did I not tell you that
I'm not like that girl,
the one who throws it all away?

Refrain

This guilt trip that you put me on
won't mess me up
I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me
have gone away

Refrain

Better off that way
I'm better off alone anyway

Losing Grip

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

[chorus]
Why should I care
'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't okay
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

[chorus]

Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care
'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone

Why should I care
'Cuz you weren't there when I was there
I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care
We're not going anywhere
[repeat]

Complicated

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're someone else
where you are and where it's sad you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become

Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what and you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

Chill out whatcha yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back, like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what and you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like your somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you flaking
no no no

Sk8er Boi

He was a boi, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say
He wanted her, she'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of their friends stuck up their nose
And they had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to "earth"

5 years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on TV, guess who she sees
Sk8er boi rockin' up MTV

She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along, and stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turn down

He was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth

He was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boi could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boi, and I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious
We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each other's world

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know...

My Happy Ending

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus]

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

[Chorus x2]

[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
