Verse 1: I bared my soul to you When you didn’t have things to do Then I started to care for you too Things were running along quite smooth But you never planned to see it through Then you showed me that attitude And here I thought that we were cool Leave it to me to play the sad love fool Hook 1: This can’t be my life Men always on the fence How can this be right This constant string of ends Chorus: Oh but it is How do you fall asleep each night Because it’s sick How nonchalantly you can be alright And I’m the one who has to get Myself these pills to medicate my mind And you did this And there you are feeling just fine Verse 2: Look what I continue to Put myself through And this so isn’t new I go through this with every dude Each time I think we’re singing the same tune I slowly figure out the truth How many more time can I lose Before I realize all men are noobs Hook 2: Story of my life Men always play defense Something isn’t right This constant string of ends Chorus: Oh but it is How do you fall asleep each night Because it’s sick How nonchalantly you can be alright And I’m the one who has to get Myself these pills to medicate my mind And you did this And there you are feeling just fine Bridge: I Shamelessly brand myself a hopeless romantic Cause helplessly I’m high strung and oh so frantic Try to play it cool but then I can’t help that I panic Blame it on my smooth, smooth life that’s so, so manic Chorus: Oh but it is How do you fall asleep each night Because it’s sick How nonchalantly you can be alright And I’m the one who has to get Myself these pills to medicate my mind And you did this And there you are feeling just fine Chorus: Oh but it is How do you fall asleep each night Because it’s sick How nonchalantly you can be alright And I’m the one who has to get Myself these pills to medicate my mind And you did this And there you are feeling just fine

I try to leave due to the fact that he just can’t, or simply will not meet my needs. But then I see that little boy holding a bird; A 1960s toy. And my chest burns. My eyes moisten. My head hurts, and I can’t seem to focus enough to walk away. I open up and he rejects me, like he’s fed up with me being so clingy. Fuck my life! My life. Then I see that boy in his cap and gown looking miserable, but at least no longer looking down. And so I stay, ‘cause I can’t leave. My heart yearns to set him free, so one day he’ll rescue me. And then I see him standing there, in his uniform, so proud. Big smile on his face, ear to ear, like ‘wow.’ And I can’t let go. No, I can’t go now. I love him too big, but it’s like I feel all these things alone. Then I get a glimpse of the happy guy; Smiling big, friends around, stud of love. It’s what he’s all about; It’s who he is. But where do I fit in? Where do I fit in? How will I fit in? When will I fit in? Will I ever fit in?

Verse 1: If you felt about me how I felt about you I’d hear from you every single day If you thought about me how I thought about you You’d love me in every single way In your mind I’d always be I’d be after every thought you’d think This song would have never come to be If you only felt if you only thought about me

Verse 1: I’ve got to learn not to expect too much out of men I’ve learned only trouble comes from setting high expectations I’ve got a righteous way of weeding out all the ones Who can’t live up to my high standards Chorus: A book cannot give head A book does not put out A book wont be my friend Or make me scream and shout And a book cannot get wet Let alone have a mouth No a book just doesn’t get What humans are all about Verse 2: The only problem is that I never have anyone left So standing on my higher ground I’ve got only my morals and books to keep me company Woo-hoo stick your finger up my ass Chorus: A book cannot give head A book does not put out A book wont be my friend Or make me scream and shout And a book cannot get wet Let alone have a mouth No a book just doesn’t get What humans are all about

If you cared about me how I cared about you I would have never ever cried If you’d melt around me how I’d melt around you I’d have been able to sleep at night In your arms I’d always be I’d be in-between every thought you’d think This track wouldn’t have come so easily If you only cared If you’d only melt around me

Mmm, give ‘em hope Verse 1: No more stories no more “sorrys” They just don’t understand me I don’t got to defend my right to live You’ve got to see me for who I am Sometimes I look inside of myself and I thank you God Verse 2: You can criticize me for how I act Or how I speak of different things You just go ahead make me out that way I will prove it to you some day Chorus: Sure I know that you’ll never become my best friend But you’ll remain in my memories Sure I know that I’ll probably never see you again But you’ll remain in my memories Verse 3: You thought you knew how I really was You made fun of me throughout my life When I turned out this way I saw the look on your face But I forgive you Bridge: I forgive you Hey, I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you Falling to the ground Disappear without a trace Never make a sound down You’ve lost your place And when no one knows that you’re around They can still kick you in the face Until your superhero’s found He gives you hope gives you his cape Chorus: Sure I know that you’ll never become my best friend But you’ll remain in my memories Sure I know that I’ll probably never see you again But you’ll remain in my memories (My memories) Link: I was lost but now I’m found The cool people they always put me down I grew up and I found out I didn’t need their love I just needed to be myself Chorus: Sure I know that you’ll never become my best friend But you’ll remain in my memories Sure I know that I’ll probably never see you again But you’ll remain in my memories Chorus: Sure I know that you’ll never become my best friend But you’ll remain in my memories Sure I know that I’ll probably never see you again But you’ll remain in my memories

Verse 1: At first I didn’t even know he existed And afterwards he was always so distant So ya see I never even really knew him Time spent together it was always so hectic hurried or crowded yo not at all private So the few words that were spoken had to be worth it And what’d I get? Chorus: Gay is sin Bring over your girlfriends anytime you wish But I love you kid You’ve got to stop moving One day you’ll run out of places to live I’ve got a wife and kids So no you can’t move in That’s what he said Verse 2: At 35 I decided it was time To reach out again to give he and I one more try I should have known “all or nothing” wouldn’t fly And I started to care for the guy mmm Don’t know why I freakin’ even attempted After hearing things like “you’re built like a woman” I might have guessed I wouldn’t be worth his time again And that was just once Chorus: Gay is sin Bring over your girlfriends anytime you wish But I love you kid You’ve got to stop moving One day you’ll run out of places to live I’ve got a wife and kids So no you can’t move in Bridge: Even now as I write this Know always that to me you’re still worth it And you’ll always be flawfully perfect I love you pops even thought right now I’m hurtin But you can’t call the shots and actually expect Me to roll along with it like some folks have You ain’t a god man you’re just a man So show your son some got-damn respect I never knew you you were just some man While you played house and became other kids dad Got time run your mouth but ain’t got time for Brad What the fuck pops that’s just downright sad And don’t think I’m weak just cause I ask For 5 fuckin minutes to spend with my old man “But the girls don’t need my attention like you do” “Yeah but that’s cause they always fucking had you” Chorus: Gay is sin Bring over your girlfriends anytime you wish But I love you kid You’ve got to stop moving One day you’ll run out of places to live I’ve got a wife and kids So no you can’t move in That’s what he said… Chorus: Gay is sin Bring over your girlfriends anytime you wish But I love you kid You’ve got to stop moving One day you’ll run out of places to live I’ve got a wife and kids So no you can’t move in

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
