Michelle Branch
From the album Hotel Paper
"Could you look me in the eye, and tell me that you're happy now?"
"Do you really have everything you want? You can't ever give something you ain't got. You can't run away from yourself."
"I've had all that I can take, I'm not about to break 'cause I'm happy now."
"I used to get away with so much. Now I can't get away. I even thought it was simple to say the things I wanted to say."
"And you told me everything I wanted to hear and you sold me; now I don't know how I should feel. I should know me, and baby you would think I knew better."
"What if I said what I was thinking? What if that says too much? When everybody's got a reason, I feel like giving up."
"Some people mistake me. They only hear what they wanna hear."
"Love me or leave me baby but don't lead me on."
"I keep giving in but I should know better, 'cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me."
"It's strange that things change, but not me wanting you so desperately."
"I've been driving for an hour, just talking to the rain, you say i've been driving you crazy."
"'Cause I don't wanna waste another moment in saying things we never meant to say."
"One of these days I won't be afriad of staying with you."
"And I take it just a little bit, I hold my breath and count to 10, I've been waiting for a chance to let you in."
"If I just breathe, let it fill the space between, I'll know everything is alright."
"Well it's so overrated, in not saying how you feel, so you end up watching chances fade, and wondering what's real."
From the album The Spirit Room:
"Turn it inside out so I can see, the part of you that's drifting over me."
"I sense it now the water's getting deep, I try to wash the pain away from me."
"And when I touch your hand, it's then I understand, the beauty that's within."
"So I'm a little left of center, I'm a little out of tune, some say I'm paranormal so I just bend their spoon. Who wants to be ordinary in a crazy mixed up world?"
"So what if I see the sunshine in the pouring rain? Some people think I'm crazy, but you say it's ok. You've seen my secret garden where all my flowers grow. In my imagination anything goes."
"I wanted to be like you. I wanted everything. So I tried to be like you. And I got swept away."
"I'm sinking slowly so hurry hold me. Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on."
"Please can you tell me. So I can finally see...where you go when you're gone."
"You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart."
"I was blind, but oh how you could see. You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me."
"I was weak and you were strong. And me and my guitar we strummed along."
"I tried to let it go but I don't know if I can take it 'cause the way you looked at me made me see I can't really fake it."
"I've heard that you can't fight love so why should I complain?"
"Why are we afraid to be in love? To be loved? I can't explain it."
"I've been searching deep down in my soul. Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old."
"Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away, to a place where I am blinded by the light."
"And when the stars fall I will lie awake. You're my shooting star."
"Love took me by the hand. Love took me by surprise. Love led me to you and love opened up my eyes."
