What are you trying to do?
What are you trying to say?
You're beating up yourself
What is it today?

You're killing me slow (la da de da da)
When the tide goes out,
I'm getting over it, It's alright

Where do we go from here?
What are you doing today?
Beating up yourself
Look, what am I trying to say?

You're killing me slow (la da de da da)
When the tide goes out,
I'm getting over it, It's alright

But it seems to be
When the magic is lost,
I'm getting over it, by myself

You said we can work it out
But we don't even get along anymore
You said we can work it out
But I don't even have the patience to be myself

No, what are you trying to do?

You're killing me slow (la da de da da)
When the tide goes out,
I'm over it, It's alright

But it seems to be
When the magic is lost,
I'm getting over it, by myself

You said we can work it out
But I don't even know what for
We can work it out
But we don't even get along anymore

No, what are you trying to do?

I can't hide the way I feel about you - anymore
I can't hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes - anymore

My tears no longer waiting
My resistance ain't that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore

Let me make one last appeal to show you how I feel about you
Cause there's no one else I swear
Holds a candle anywhere next to you ooh

My heart can't take the beating
Not having you to hold
A small voice keeps repeating deep inside my soul
It says I can't keep pretending
I don't love you anymore

I've got to take the chance or let it pass by
If I expect to get on with my life

My tears no longer waiting
My resistance ain't that strong
But my mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore
Anymore
<Anymore>

Don't want to walk upon the water
Don't want to look across the waves
Instead of seeing hills of water

I just see markers on their graves

But in the fading of a season
To look across an empty sky
For a forgotten childhood reason
To once more wish that you could

Close your eyes and just believe again
There's a god does he remember when
We were young and faith was not pretend

Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore

And in the night he sees the ocean
Carve its thoughts upon the shore
For in the way it was created
It can do this and nothing more

And every message it would leave him
The next wave carefully erased
As the tears that passed between them

Were so real that you could

Close your eyes and just believe again
There's a god and he remembers when
We were young and faith was not pretend

Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore

And all at once the waves were getting
Higher
And as they crashed I thought I heard them say
There'd be a time when men would all be wiser
When everyone, everyone,

Yes everyone is

Saved

And as he walked away he thought about

That third stowaway once more
And wondered if the body had washed up

Upon some far and distant shore

Or if it sank down through the depths
Of cold reality
To rest upon the ocean floor
For all eternity

For at the bottom of the sea
The dead do not feel pain
And neath the ocean made of tears

They never fear the rain

But what had really happened
Was a stranger twist of fate
That the deckhand was to never know
But to you I will relate

I'm drowned out like I'm supposed to be
Nobody doubts your sanctity
I'm not alone, but I'm supposed to be
And so I doubt your faith in me

This isn't real. I can not feel. I do not want.
Anymore
I am alive, but it's not mine. I do not want
Anymore
If all I say turns to be true
And everything comes back to you
Then everything inside me figures out what I'm supposed to be

I shout out. Nobody's listening
And they don't care. Believe in me
You're all cried out like you had asked to be
You're all alone, no sympathy

This isn't real. I can not feel. I do not want.
Anymore
I am alive, but it's not mine. I do not want
Anymore
If all I say turns to be true
And everything comes back to you
Then everything inside me figures out what I'm supposed to be

Anymore [x4]

She bows down, persuasive to the skin
Both touch and taste pass into me
They're not alone
Sometimes I wish you're me
And then I doubt you'll come to be

This isn't real. I can not feel. I do not want.
Anymore
I am alive, but it's not mine. I do not want
Anymore
If all I say turns to be true
And everything comes back to you
Then everything inside me figures out what I'm supposed to be

I believe in roses,
But only from the heart
And if it's not sincere baby,
Then I don't want no part

I believe in one love baby, true monogamy
What I don't know can't hurt me, that's not the way I see

If you believed in me, you wouldn't mess around
It's not like I don't know you been with every girl in town

You got a lot of nerve to think, I just close my eyes
While you walk around so full of it, I give you my surprise

I don't need your kinda love
I don't need your kinda trust
I don't want you, anymore
I don't need your kinda kisses
I don't want to be your Mrs.
I don't want you, anymore

I believe that angels watch everything we do
And all the wrong your doin', just might come back on you

I believe in phone calls, when your not by my side
Especially when it's lonely, in the middle of the night

If you believe that true love is only made in bed
Lord have mercy on you, chivalry is dead

You got a lot of nerve to think, to think that I'm still down
While you've taken me for granted, boy I'm thru, I'm outta town

[Chorus]

So baby, (so baby)
You can kiss this girl goodbye
I'm through with ya
Movin'on with my life
No more pain, no more fears
I'm movin' on
I'm keepin' on
I'm through with all the fears

Your kinda love
Your kinda trust
I don't want you, don't need you,
can't have you
Your kinda kisses
To be your Mrs.
I don't want you

[Chorus]

I believe in roses,
But only from the heart
And if it's not sincere baby,
Then I don't want no part

I believe in one love baby, true monogamy
What I don't know can't hurt me, that's not the way I see

If you believed in me, you wouldn't mess around
It's not like I don't know you been with every girl in town

You got a lot of nerve to think, I just close my eyes
While you walk around so full of it, I give you my surprise

I don't need your kinda love
I don't need your kinda trust
I don't want you, anymore
I don't need your kinda kisses
I don't want to be your Mrs.
I don't want you, anymore

I believe that angels watch everything we do
And all the wrong your doin', just might come back on you

I believe in phone calls, when your not by my side
Especially when it's lonely, in the middle of the night

If you believe that true love is only made in bed
Lord have mercy on you, chivalry is dead

You got a lot of nerve to think, to think that I'm still down
While you've taken me for granted, boy I'm thru, I'm outta town

[Chorus]

So baby, (so baby)
You can kiss this girl goodbye
I'm through with ya
Movin'on with my life
No more pain, no more fears
I'm movin' on
I'm keepin' on
I'm through with all the fears

Your kinda love
Your kinda trust
I don't want you, don't need you,
can't have you
Your kinda kisses
To be your Mrs.
I don't want you

[Chorus]

I gave my love everything
I tied an old glass heart to a ring
But she put it on a shelf
And I found it didn't help anything

I gave my love all the time
I tied a worn out dress to a rhyme
But she left it at the door
And I found it on the floor every time

And I won't be making love or taking love
or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or taking it no more

I gave my love every day
I took a dead end road and made a way
But she said it wouldn't work
And I found it in reverse anyway

And I won't be making love or taking love
or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or taking it no more
And I won't be knocking on love's door anymore
Someday I'm gonna turn it around I know I know

I gave my love everything
I took a tired song and made it sing
But she put it on a shelf
And I found it didn't help anything

And I won't be making love or taking love
or faking it no more
And I won't be breaking love forsaking love
or wasting it no more
And I won't be making love or taking love
or shaking it no more
And I won't be aching love for taking love from me
Anymore
