Bare lyrics

Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So... light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes

I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat

Bitter pill to swallow
Slidin' down my throat
Bitter pill to swallow
How it makes me choke
How the hell am I gonna find
Happiness and peace of mind
When I'm losin' all the time?
Yes... bitter

Don't you ever call me
I don't wanna see your face
Don't you dare to call me
Don't darken up this place
What the hell d'ya expect from me?
Emptiness and misery
Took it all away ya see
Yes... bitter

I'm gonna put it all behind me like nothing ever happened between us.
Nothing ever took place between you and me
Yeah, nothing ever happened.
And if you see me walking down the street
I won't even recognize you
I'll just erase you from my memory
Put it all behind me becaue you are erased.
Oh, erased.

You'll be sitting on someone else's couch
You'll be eating off a stranger's plate

The beauty that you gave
Has turned upon itself
And all the things you said
Evaporated, evaporated

Was I blind, deaf and dumb
To the words slipped from your tongue?

Honestly, honestly, honestly
(Alone in my bed, the things that you said
Go round in my head, still)

Honestly, honestly, honestly
(It seems to be true that nothing I do
can influence you)

I tried and tried again

Loneliness...
It's a place that I know well.
It's the distance between us
and the space inside ourselves.
And emptiness...
Is the chattering in your head.
It's the call of the living
and the race from life to death.
And I know-
yeah, I know-
what you feel...

And I've got a longing
that's hard to find-
won't give me no peace of mind.
Something that I've lived with all along.

Oh God...
Where are you now?
And what you gonna do
About the mess I've made
If there was ever a soul to save
It must be me
It must be me

Dear god...
Oh how can I survive?
Will I make this drop this dive?
When it all comes to this
I'm looking down at the abyss
Where you don't exist
You don't exist

but if you hear me
If you can see me...
I know I can't be that strong

The city streets are wet again with rain
But I'm walkin' just the same
Skies turn to the usual grey
When you turn to face the day
And love don't show up in the pavement cracks
All my water colours fade to black
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back
All my dreams have fallen flat

(Love don't show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back)

Time and space will pass us by and by

To everything there is a purpose ...
To every blade of grass
And every leaf on every tree
Every livin' thing will surely
Come to pass
And what will be will be ...
That's when the hurtin' time begins

And all the things you never said
Or didn't have the strengh to say
And everything you ever did
That time won't ever wash away
Fears that you've been livin' with
Come runnin' down your face

Darling are your feeling
the same thing that I'm seeing?
The troubles of the day,
took my breath away.
Took my breath away.

Now you're no longer talking
And I'm no longing hearing
There's nothing left to say
Said it anyway
Said it anyway

And I want you not
I need you not
I'm dying 'cause this is the saddest song I've got
The saddest song I've got

Darling are you healing

I didn't want to know you.
I didn't mean to be your friend.
But now it seems
I'd run through burnin' fire
Just to see your face again.

I didn't want to hurt you
Or be hurt by you
At the closing of the game.
But now it seems too late for that desire.
I watched it all go up in flames.
I watched it all go up in flames.

Tell me
Darlin'
What would it take
To untie the twist in us?

I want to have you, cause you're all I've got
I don't want to lose you, cause it means a lot
All the joy this world can bring
Doesn't give me anything
When you're not here

Idiot me
Stupid fool
How could you be
So uncool
To fall in love with someone
Who doesn't really care for you
It's so obscure

But I feel wonderful
Yes, I feel
Don't you know I feel
Wonderful

(Chorus:)
