Stand Still,Look Pretty

The Wreckers Stand Still,Look Pretty歌詞
1.Tennessee

I never had all the answers
I never had enough time
But I sure had all the reasons
And you weren't what I wanted to find
I never layed all my cards out
But you just wanted to play
The King have waited on my doorsteps
While the Joker in me went in our way
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I guarantee
things are sweeter in Tennessee

These days everything is all business
I'm never in one place for too long
There's no lack of arms around me
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I guarantee
things are sweeter in Tennessee
In Tennessee

And I wished on every star in the southern sky
For that man in your life
Fighting my fear again
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I guarantee
things are sweeter in Tennessee
Cause I guarantee
things are sweeter in Tennessee


2.Rain

I never give up
I never believe anything you say
I gave you most of my love
Cause now you ask us to end this way
And I don't wanna know
what goes on in that head of yours
And I don't wanna know
Cause I don't think I can take much more
Rain
You must be sick or something
I can't take another day of
Rain
It's falling down until
the sun comes out again

I never speak up
I just try to stay out of the way
And I messed up myself
Cause that's all that I hear you you say
And I don't wanna know
What on earth makes you act like this
And I don't wanna know
Cause I don't think I can take it again
Rain
You must be sick or something
I can't take another day of
Rain
It's falling down until
the sun comes out again
Sun come out
Sun come out

Rain
You must be sick or something
I can't take another day of
Rain
It's falling down until
the sun comes out again
Rain
You must be sick or something
You must be sick or something
Rain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's falling down until
the sun comes out again


3.Way Back Home

Somewhere in the country
There's a place
Where nobody knows who I am
When I'm feeling lonely
There's a train
That helps me run away

I know my mama
She always told me
The road would get cold

I never listen
Always forget
The way back home
The way back home

Somewhere in the city
There's a place
That makes it hard to escape

Well he never listened to me
When I said
That things were gonna change

I know my mama
She always told me
The road would get cold

I never listen
Always forget
The way back home
The way back home
The way back home

I know my mama
She always told me
The road would get cold

I never listen
Always forget
The way back home
I never listen
Always forget
The way back home
The way back home
Uh oh

Only crazy people
Fall in love with me
They come from all over
To be with me
Bankk robbers and killers
Drunks and drug dealers
Only crazy people
Fall in love with me

He came from Carolina
On a west-bound freight train
He didn't have no ticket
But he got here the same

He left me a reminder
With nine months to go
That's why I killed his wife
And wrecked up his home

Only crazy people
Fall in love with me
They come from all over
To be with me
Bankk robbers and killers
Drunks and drug dealers
Only crazy people
Fall in love with me
He fled Mississippi
With me at his side
A trunk full of money
And no place to hide
Well he loved his whiskey
And his fist loved my face
So I buried that man
And they wont find a trace

Only crazy people
Fall in love with me
They come from all over
To be with me
Bankk robbers and killers
Drunks and drug dealers
Only crazy people
Fall in love with me
Only crazy people
Fall in love with me


6.Leave The Pieces

You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair, you know
That just keeps me hanging 'round
You say you don't want to hurt me
Don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown?

And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

Now you can drag out the heartache
Or baby you can make it quick
Really get it over with
And just let me move on
Don't concern yourself
With this mess you left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you're gone
And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

It's killin' me and wastin' time
I need so much more than that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say

7.Stand Still,Look Pretty

I wanna paint my face
and pretend that I am someone else
Sometimes I get so fed up
I don't even wanna look at myself

But people have problems
that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think
I'm complaining all the time
And I hate the way you look at me
and I have to say I wish I could start over

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk
in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty

Sometimes I find myself shaking
in the middle of the night
And when it hits me
I can't even believe this is my life

But people have problems
that are worse than mine
And I wish that everyone
would go and shut their mouths
I'm not strong enough to deal with you

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk
in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk
in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty


8.The Good Kind

'Do you wanna run away together?'
I would say it was your best line ever
Too bad i fell for it
And i walked alone
Waiting for you to come along
Take my tortured heart by the hand
And write me off

Do you know i cry?
Do you know i die?
Do you know i cry?
And it's not the good kind

You forced me to become strong
When i just cried, being weak
And you think you know
And i would like to think so
But do you know that when you go
I fall apart...
Do you know i cry?
Do you know i die?
Do you know i cry?
And it's not the good kind
No, you're not the good kind

I'm tired of hiding
behind these lying eyes
I'm tired of this smile
that even i don't recognize
Do you know i cry?
Do you know i die?
Do you know i cry?
And it's not the good kind
Do you know i cry?
Do you know i die?
Do you know i cry?
And it's not the good kind
Do you know i cry?
Do you know i die?
Do you know i cry?
And it's not the good kind
No, you're not the good kind
Do you know i cry?


9.Lay Me Down

You let me in
`Cause after all
It seemed like
The right thing to do, oh oh
I close my eyes
And let you fall
I wonder
What you could possibly know
About breaking down that I don't
It's been a while
Since I begged for
Anything, but now I want more
So lay me down I'm lonely
Ho, oh oh
You don't understand me
And you never even tried to anyway

I hear you say
It's not the same
I'm sorry
It's something I just can't explain
So shut your mouth
And hold me close
We both know
It's better than being alone
I don't mind
Yeah I'm told
Cause nothing's what it seems
Lay me down I'm lonely
Ho, oh oh
You don't understand me
And you never even tried
If wanting you's wrong
Then I'm wrong I'll admit it
Time after time you realize
You don't mean it
Lay me down I'm lonely
Ho, oh oh
You don't understand me
And you never even tried
I'm sorry
Lay me down
I'm lonely
Lay me down
You don't understand me
And you never even tried to anyway


10.Cigarettes

Got my headlights shining
Down an old dirt road
Smoke my cigarettes
I should quit, i know
The radio's playing
Old country songs
Someone's leaving
Someone's cheating
On and on
I think i might like
The quiet nights
Of this empty life
'cause someday maybe somebody
Will love me like i need
And someday i won't have to prove
Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then
I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road

See I left another
Good man tonight
I wonder if he'll miss me
Lord knows I tried
But I think that maybe
The thing that I did wrong
Is put up with this bullshit for far too long
I think i might like
The quiet nights
Of this empty life
'cause someday maybe somebody
Will love me like i need
And someday i won't have to prove
Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then
I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
I ain't gonna sleep
I don't want to dream about
The things that i used to be
I ain't gonna cry
Don't wanna live a lie
I'm just gonna drive
Oh, oh
Cause someday maybe somebody will love me
And someday i won't have to prove

All my worth but until then
I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
'cause someday maybe somebody
Will love me like i need
And someday i won't have to prove
Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then
I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road


11.My,Oh My

This concrete road used to just be dirt
We'd drive out here after work
Every Friday night when I was eighteen
This parking lot used to be a field
I parked here with my Oldsmobile
Long before the Sonic and the Walgreens
Not no more
Not no more
My oh my
Look how the time flies
Look how the world changes
in the blink of an eye
My oh my
Look how the years have gone
Turn it around
before you know it up and gone
Oh my oh my oh my

Times have changed and so have I
I once was young and starry-eyed
Now I have these bitter-sweet memories

Songs were long and gas was cheap
No cellphones and the water was free
Daddy paid and I never had to worry
Not no more
Not no more
My oh my
Look how the time flies
Look how the world changes
in the blink of an eye
My oh my
Look how the years have gone
Turn it around
before you know it up and gone
Oh my oh my oh my
Oh my oh my oh my

Not no more
Not no more
Not no more
My oh my
Look how the time flies
Look how the world changes
in the blink of an eye
My oh my
Look how the years have gone
Turn it around
before you know it up and gone
Oh my oh my oh my
Oh my oh my oh my
Oh my oh my oh my
Yeehaw


12.Hard To Love You

Well I do make it hard to love you
Well I can't even start to try
`Cause now I feel the bridge is burning, ohh ooh oh
And now the smoke is in my eyes, oh ooh oh oh

I realize I never left not knowing
I always wanted to be right
Took a mistake to really show me, ohh ooh oh
Exactly what they would like
I've been wrong but I've been changing
I've been wondering what to do
Here I am alone and waiting for you

why do i try to make them happy
Why am I always playing nights
It isn't easy trying to tell you, ohh ooh oh
Exactly what's on my mind
I've been wrong but I've been changing
I've been wondering what to do
Here I am alone and waiting for you

Ahh, ooh ooh, ahh
I've been wrong but I've been waiting for you
I've been wrong but I've been changing
I've been wondering what to do
Here I am alone and waiting
Waiting for you
