gender is a prison- oooh, oooh
but we fight for abolition -oooh, oooh
do you think the world will always be so ugly?
I don't think I'll ever meet anyone as lovely as you- oooh
you found the secret combo- oooh, oooh
that made Nicole Richie's hair glow- oooh, oooh
that violet shade I'm always gonna see you in
a whole decade she's been married to a Madden twin- it's true! oooh
there are no words for times this tough- oooh, oooh
and I suck at talking 'bout this stuff- oooh, oooh
but you have changed how I will move through this living.
I want to make you proud in everything I do- oooh

Scared :)

he does not understand what he's done to offend
I don't have the time to spend to walk him through my rage.
'cause he did not flinch last year when his friend told me to get him a beer
the moment that I appeared to join them on the stage.
I heard he's scared of me; I hope he's scared of me
He should be scared of me 'cause I know who he is
he's too easy with his hands, he says things to me he don't say to a man
and then he does all he can to talk about his kids.
it mostly just makes me sad; he only sees things as they were in the past-
a feed clogged with photographs of 20 year old gigs.
I heard he's scared of me; I hope he's scared of me
He should be scared of me 'cause I know who he is
is it unkind to say "I think you're just okay"?
you have been in the way and you won't step aside
is it unkind to sing, "I don't owe you anything"?
don't have to soothe every sting just 'cause I hurt your pride
I heard you're scared of me; I hope you're scared of me
You should be scared of me, 'cause I know who you are.
You should be scared of me.

when you go, I wish something had compelled me
to let you know but the quiet always quells me.
You make me think I could write a book-
Did I read too much into every look?
When you're smart, when you're pretty when you're funny
it sticks into my heart- how are you not tired of me?
And maybe you don't want to fall again,
but baby I've got you under my skin
When you hurt, I just want to make it better.
You deserve one who will put you down never.
I wouldn't want you to change one bit,
'Cause anything we make will be a hit.

No Matter What

if I never put on a show
would I still be someone you know?
I am the kind who finds the words
there ain't no words can heal these wounds you don't deserve
I love you no matter what, no matter what, no matter what
I love you no matter what, no matter what, no matter what
No matter what- I love you
You're so much more than flesh and bone
I wish you never felt alone
You are the kind who finds the joke
And you can make us laugh even when there's not much hope
I love you no matter what, no matter what, no matter what
I love you no matter what, no matter what, no matter what
No matter what- I love you
No matter what, no matter what, no matter what- I love you
No matter what, no matter what, no matter what- I love you
I love you no matter what, no matter what, no matter what
I love you no matter what, no matter what, no matter what
No matter what- I love you

Cost of Living

When I got the estimate, I cried in my car
Shocked by my embarrassment at the price of my big heart.
I'll be paying this bill until I die
but you're granted forgiveness for every lie
How do you live with your greed?
More than a man could ever need;
More than a man could ever use-
Do you even have a soul to lose?
Then I thought about my friend, suffering and sick.
Oh, they worried 'til the end about how to pay for it.
You have all the power to make this right
But you get your paydirt from our plight.
How do you live with your greed?
More than a man could ever need;
More than a man could ever use-
Do you even have a soul to lose?
How do you live with your greed?
How do you live with your greed?
I'll be paying this bill until I die.

Idea

I was raised not to trust what I see and how I feel.
I was raised not to ask for much attention.
You saw me for who I was and you did not betray my cause-
One day I'll be secure enough to mention
that I wanna tell you every idea that I have,
prove you're good even when you feel bad.
Can't you see it on my face?
Ain't my love written plain as day? For you, for you, for you
I was raised to watch my words, to turn away from my own hurt.
I was raised to stay in search of safety
But we can talk of anything, and there is no begrudging dreams.
Do you recognize what you mean to me?
I wanna tell you every idea that I have,
prove you're good even when you feel bad.
Can't you see it on my face?
Ain't my love written plain as day? For you, for you, for you
I wanna tell you every idea that I have,
prove you're good even when you feel bad.
Can't you see it on my face?
Ain't my love written plain as day? For you, for you, for you

Honey Don't

All I feel's been felt before.
Monuments to suffering abound.
I want to cause your laugh's buoyant sound
but oh the pain when you ignore
Honey don't say those words if you will not follow through
don't give me no ideas if you will not make them true
don't be so kind 'cause you'll stick in my mind
and love's a cost I can't afford
Days like this my heart is sore
from all the weight that I have carried to
carve a little wider space for you-
Why do I keep clearing more?
Honey don't say those words if you will not follow through
don't give me no ideas if you will not make them true
don't be so kind 'cause you'll stick in my mind
and love's a cost I can't afford
don't be so kind 'cause you'll stick in my mind
and love's a cost I can't afford

polish on our nails, you have a sharp eye for details
but all my words are empty sails- no good winds blow.
plastic on the glass, 'cause it's not you reflected back
and every day more cells attack, the tumors grow
I'm gonna miss you so
if I could make a trade, if I could take away your pain,
If I could bear it in some way to keep you here
I want to shine a light on all who harmed you, make it right
I want to free you from your fight and from your fear
I'm gonna miss you dear
I'm grateful for a part of the love in your golden heart
I'm sorry we got a late start, but I am slow
I'm glad that I'm your friend, I'm glad for songs you recommend
I'm glad for hours I got to spend inside your glow
I'm gonna miss you so
I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna miss you so
I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna miss you so
