starters taken from lyrics from the album tidal by fiona apple.
i tell you how i feel, but you don't care.
full is not heavy as empty.
what a cruel thing to pretend.
give me your absence tonight.
what i need is a good defense.
you can't intimidate me back into your arms.
i say tell me the truth, but you don't dare.
take all of your sympathy and leave it outside.
i've got a lot to lose and i'm betting high.
you'll never feel the heat of this soul.
heaven help me for the way i am.
what's gone is gone, and you can't bring it back around.
days like this, i don't know what to do with myself.
you'll never see the courage i know.
gonna win you over, slow like honey.
i've been careless with a delicate man.
i'll let you win, but you must make the endeavor.
'never' is a promise, and you can't afford to lie.
you say love is a hell you cannot bear.
i don't wanna talk 'cause there's nothing left to say.
you'll say 'don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems.'
i wanna be ready for what you do.
i'm building memories on things we have not said.
i don't go to sleep to dream.
before it ends, just tell me where to begin.
it was my aim to get caught.
you got your head in the clouds.
you'll say you understand, but you don't understand.
don't bother leaving the light on.
i've come to you 'cause i need guidance.
you can't illuminate what time has anchored down.
i'll be sure to stay wary of you.
i've got to cleanse myself of all these lies.
i've got to cleanse myself of all these lies until i'm good enough for them.
i'll never glow the way that you glow.
i suddenly feel like a different person.
you're not at all what you seem.
there's too much going on.
it's a sad world, when a girl will break a boy just because she can.
you'll say i need appeasing when i start to cry.
don't forget what i told you.
my fever burns me deeper than i've ever shown to you.
if i let you get too close, you'll set your spell on me.
i'm finally growing weary of waiting.
there's no kind of loving that can make this alright.
they're all i ever knew of love.
i've got my own hell to raise.
i have never been so insulted in all my life.
don't make it a big deal.
your presence dominates the judgements made on you.
save me from these evil deeds before i get them done.
my feel for you is decaying in front of me.
i've done wrong and i want to suffer for my sins.
it's calm under the waves.
we're not playing a game anymore.
won't do no good asking no questions.
you'll never live this life that i live.
you bring me to my knees.
help me out of this mess.
you don't have to be so defensive.
i understand what i am still too proud to mention to you.
is that why they call me sullen?
i just don't know where i can begin.
i don't know what to believe in.
all i want is to save you.
all i want is to save you, or the strength to walk away.
i'll haunt the world inside you.
don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain.
i'm trying to find a place i belong.
what misfortune sows, they know my touch will reap.
don't you tell me to deny it.
i don't know when you're gonna make your move.
i'm a stranger to myself.
heaven cannot wait forever.
the space between us is as boundless as the dark.
i keep living this day like the next will never come.
don't even show me your face.
