I'm the Only One

Please baby cant you see
My minds a burnin hell
I got razors a rippin and tearin and strippin
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin like something
That might be good for you

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothings wrong
But Im the only one
Wholl walk across the fire for you
Im the only one
Wholl drown in my desire for you
Its only fear that makes you run
The demons that youre hiding from
When all your promises are gone
Im the only one

Please baby cant you see
Im trying to explain
Ive been here before and Im locking the door
And Im not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin wont make
It go away
Youll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothings wrong
But Im the only one
Wholl walk across the fire for you
Im the only one
Wholl drown in my desire for you
Its only fear that makes you run
The demons that youre hiding from
When all your promises are gone
Im the only one

Song One:

---

You say you don't feel like yourself
Does that mean you're somebody else
How would I know
Oh you say you just don't feel quite right today
Does that mean that you're slipping away
How would I know
You might believe there's a paradise
In the next hello

How would I know
If you don't tell me so
If you wanted to go
How would I know

You say you don't know what you're doing here
Does that mean you might disappear
How would I know
You might feel that there's something real
In the next hello

"How Would I Know" - Melissa Etheridge

Song Two:

---

Well I have lived ten years plus ten
And ten and ten again
I have seen too much to pretend
Then you wanted to come in
I have survived all of the lies
They made me wise
The locks and walls and the peace is buys
Still when I look into your eyes
It's a suprise when you say
It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
Let it all go away
Oh mercy, mercy baby
What do you want from me
Well I plead mercy, mercy baby
I do not know what this all means
It's been awhile since I been stylin'
In just my jacket and my jeans
It hurts to walk, it hurts to talk
It hurts to think about it
Shout about it
Could I be sure without a doubt
That you could never live without me
I want to fall in you, crawl in you
Surrender all in you now
Could I be sure in you, pure in you
Finding the cure in you
Now I plead have mercy on me
Now I am kneeling at the alter
In the temple of your eyes
And I am asking for a miracle
I have been too long paralyzed
When you say get up and stand up
And climb the rope of hope
And open up again
Oh the peace you say is promised me
Seems too much to comprehend

"Mercy" - Melissa Etheridge

Breathe

  • May. 11th, 2004 at 7:14 PM
"I played the fool today
And I just dream of vanishing into the crowd
Longing for home again
But home is a feeling I buried in you

I'm all right, I'm all right
It only hurts when I breathe

I can't ask for things to be still again
I can't ask if I could walk through the world in your eyes
Longing for home again
But home is a feeling I buried in you

I'm all right, I'm all right
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm all right, I'm all right
It only hurts when I breathe

My window through which nothing hides
And everything sings
'Cause I'm counting the signs
Cursing the miles in between
Home is a feeling I buried in you

I'm all right, I'm all right
It only hurts when I breathe."

"Breathe" - Melissa Etheridge
