| Elite Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | "A Fine Mess" Lyrics Survivor - Round Seven 11/21/09 "A Fine Mess" Lyrics Survivor This is the "A Fine Mess" Lyrics Survivor, one set of lyrics from each song on the album has been chosen and compiled to form the survivor. Please vote for your least favorite set of lyrics in each round, with no consideration of the song as a whole, just the individual set of lyrics here. Lyrics will be eliminated when they have the most votes after eight people have voted (or five for one lyric), or four days have past without any votes. Round One #01 - I’m in the corner of the street café My heart is warmer since I heard from you today Like a shallow creek, I am gleaming No chance of keeping any secrets Have I lost enough security yet? #02 - So, you see You’ve got me back again for more And it seems your song is in my head This is war Mystery; how I could feel you breathe me I was sure you would keep Every promise; you would keep every word #03 - Put me up on a pedestal I’ve got nowhere to go but down You expect the impossible And it’s too much to carry around Well, you tell me I’m beautiful It feels empty and I don't know why But it seems that you’re searching me For something you’re not gonna find #04 - I ain't got no sob story to write But just like everyone else, I'm living this life And you don't need to win me over And there ain't no other side To shelter me from I'll belong where I decide #05 - Most days I try my best to put on a brave face But inside my bones are cold and my heart breaks But all the while, something’s keeping me safe and alive #06 - Every good girl’s got a real good reason To believe in breaking all the rules sometimes I’m that girl, baby you’re that reason And your scheming has caused me to cross the line #07 - I know you want me to see; don’t lie to me So why you gotta go be so shy to me? I ain’t buying the false anxiety, let your fortress fold What is it gonna take to get you there? If fear was money, you’d be a millionaire All alone in a leather swivel chair Counting stacks of gold #08 - Your performance deserves an academy award And it’s a double-edged-sword ‘cause I sure feel adored Just between us, I’d rather see you slip up Don’t you know, it’s those less than perfect words I can’t get enough of #09 - Somewhere, everybody starts there I’m counting on a small prayer, Lost in a nightmare But I’m here, and suddenly it’s so clear The struggle through the long years It taught me to outrun my fears #10 - We could still save these tattered pages What do you say we start over, baby? This is our chance, and you’re all I have Don’t let me slip through your hands #11 - I never meant most of those pretty words I said But I wanted you to think I did ‘Cause telling you all this makes no difference; it’s useless ‘Cause those who get to know our hearts the most They always seem to be the ones we’ll never hold #12 - So the story goes on down the less-traveled road It’s a variation on the one I was told And although it’s not the same, it’s awful close In an ordinary fairytale land There’s a promise of a perfect happy end And I imagine having just short of that Is better than nothing #13 - So, I’ll buy myself a cheap apartment And I’ll buy my heart a secret compartment And when your memory starts to surface I’ll toast to mistakes made on purpose Now, I’ll always miss you And I’ll always wish you’d been mine *Don't forget to vote for your least favorite lyrics* __________________ You’re like a splinter, just killing me slowly from inside The piercing winter is so much more inviting than the stare in your eyes One heavy cinderblock, like a rock you’re just staying, weighing, breaking me down I’m crying out, you don’t hear me, you don’t hear a sound Last edited by mellbell86 : 10-23-2009 at 03:48 PM. | |||
