“Forget Tonight”
LOVE/HATE
You know I’ve been here before
Don’t play me like a fool
I know that everything is wrong
With my attempts to rule your heart
Chorus:
‘Cause you don’t notice when I come and go
You’re just oblivious and beautiful
And I can hardly wait
To see the one I Love to Hate
Slow motion ‘til I see your face
And you don’t have a clue
Imagining I can erase
The fact I love you but you don’t know my name
(Chorus)
And I see you through my window of protection
And I need you but you don’t feel my affection
Yea I see you but I’m guessing I’m too late
You’re the one I love
(Chorus)
“Wrong Way”
Tears I cried and brushed aside
My memories of you
Readjust and turn to dust
And let the darkness through
It isn’t how you pictured it
Beautiful though isn’t it?
You bled the source without remorse
And watched it melt away
Shed your skin and settled in
The shadow that remained
This isn’t how you pictured it but
Damned if you’re gonna let em get away
No relief, the deck was stacked
On the wrong road past the point of turning back
Over time the truth decays
Make the most out of doing it the wrong way
Cut 'em deep, cover the tracks
Been gone so long there’s no coming back
Over time the truth decays
Make the most out of doing it the wrong way
Won’t reveal your masterpiece
'Til all your work is done
Guarantee your legacy
Won’t vanish when you’re gone
This isn’t how you pictured it, beautiful though isn’t it?
“Black Heart”
aka “Black Hearted Woman”
Sometimes the truth, it gets in the way
You tell yourself a lie believing she’s gonna change
But something ain’t right, this feelin’ inside
Gonna take a look around to see what I find
I found out about a month ago
Been playin’ stupid ‘cause I didn’t want her to know
But I know the truth, that’s goin’ around
Behind my back the minute that I get across town
But I got myself a plan
And I hope you understand
As long as wrong is being done
You best believe it ain’t gonna be me for too much longer
‘Cuz the tide’s about to turn
Black Hearted Woman look ya dead in the eye
Tell you that she loves ya, got a man on the side
And if you can’t shake that feeling that’s been building inside
You got a Black Hearted Woman
Stopped by her house, quarter ‘til four
I poured a can of gasoline all over the floor
I struck a match and laughed to myself,
“Black Hearted Woman guess I’ll see you in hell”
Yea I got myself a plan
And I hope you understand
As long as wrong is being done
You best believe it ain’t gonna be me for too much longer
‘Cuz the tides about to turn
Black Hearted Woman look ya dead in the eye
Tell you that she loves ya, got a man on the side
And if you can’t shake that feeling thats been building inside
You got a Black Hearted Woman
“Even Steven”
Ten years gone and I won’t ever get them back
In here thinkin’ bout what I missed, I’m about to crack
Someone’s smiling on the outside and if I ever get out they best hide
In here counting down the days staring into black
To settle up my life’s devoted to fulfill
And if karma won’t deliver then my .38 caliber will
See I’m wastin’ away and all I think about every day
Is looking in your eyes right before I say,
“Now you know there’s a price to pay”
“Was it worth what you took away”
Sideways strokin’ with your women and your jokin’
And you’re thinkin’ you can always run
You best be believin’ when you’re ballin’ out drinking
That one day somebody’s gonna come
And I promise true, if its all I do
I’m gonna be the one to bury you
Washed my hands and watched the red go down the drain
Taking comfort in the thought of you losing all that you became
A lesson learned or maybe just the way the world turns
But either way it’s over now and I suspect your ass is gonna burn
