More Than You Think You Are lyrics

She got out of town on the railway, new york bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway
Well, some things in this world you just can’t change
Some things you can’t see until it gets too late

[chorus]

Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all I’m up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe

I will do without
The spaces in between
If you can tell me now
What it means to be
You have been found out
I have been deceived
By the one that I need

[chorus]

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How’d you get so high
Why you’re keeping me low
You don’t know, you don’t know
Tell me how we’re gonna make it last
You’re ready to fly

Something is wrong with the sum of us
That I can't seem to erase
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face

[Chorus]

Well now, you're laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

You show your pain like it really hurts
And I can't even start to feel mine
Well, I'm standing in place

Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody’s heart break
But now I have to let you go
I have to let you go
You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go

No one’s ever turned you over
No one’s tried
To ever let you down,
Beautiful girl
Bless your heart

I got a disease
Deep inside me

Wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back
Would you have ever been with me
I want you to be unused
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side

[chorus]

Come on and lay it down
I’ve always been with you
Here and now
Give all that’s within you
Be my savior
And I’ll be your downfall
Mmm, mmm, mmm

What you want, what you got
Live your life in a crawl space
I’ll help you out but you don’t want a chance at a better life
You said you never took a ride and now you wanna play
Well, it’s a big, big city let me show you around some time
Oh, some time

[chorus]

And now you crossed that line
You can’t come back
Tell me how does it feel now

Hang out my window and over your head
Stare at your feelings to see where they end
You’re waiting here for someone else to break you from the inside
You’ve been so composed

[chorus]

We all know there’s always something tearing you apart
It’s always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I’m headed for a breakdown
And I don’t know why

[chorus]

But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know right now you can’t tell

Someday they’ll find your small town world on a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk when they’re talking to you
Gonna make you break out of the shell cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth
They’ll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say
They’re gonna break your heart, yeah

[chorus]

Everywhere someone’s getting over
Everybody cries
And sometimes you can still lose even if you really try
Talking about the dream
Like the dream is over
Talk like that
Won’t get you nowhere
Everybody’s trusting in the heart
Like the heart don’t lie

[chorus]

And that’s all that I need, yeah
Someone else to cling to, yeah
Someone I can lean on

Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments while the city’s still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain and the tired spaces
You could hear her name when she was warm and tender
And you held her arms around you
There was nothing but her love and affection
She was crazy for you
Now she’s part of something that you lost

[chorus]

And for all you know

Yes I am
I hope you think you beat me
Hope I start talking crazy
Before you understand me
Are we through
You think that I'm beneath you
But you like the things that I do
Wrap 'em up and take 'em with you

I'm alright
Hope I can sleep for one night
If not to cool my insides
Maybe to calm my backside
Rain on me
I got a weakness in me
I think that weakness feeds me

It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving it up
Man I thought that you were joking
And I'm broken

You burn for a little while
Pass it on and try something else
Yeah, you know that you're the one
And you turned on me
'Cause that's the way you heard it was supposed to be

Right away you start thinking about
The wrong things and start giving up

I found out

On a late night drive

In my winter coat

With my blood-shot eyes

My faith ain't been
No friend to me

And the way i sin

Is hanging off of me

And i'm sorry

You can't take me anywhere

Pretty soon we're almost there

Baby, one more night

It's been a long, long drive

And i'm way, way tired

I don't need no

Back-up plan

(chorus)

I don't want nobody
