i cant let you go ian van dahl

since you're gone
everything looks so empty
without you
nights are so cold

can you tell
tell me how to convince you
please come back
I won't let you down
I won't let you down

I can't let you go
why can't you stay?
I still wonder why
I can't let you go
why can't you stay?
give it one more try
I can't let you go(2x)

and I hope
one day you will forgive me
if I could
I would turn back time

don't you know
that I'm thinking about you
if you knew
would you change your mind?
would you change your mind?

I can't let you go
why can't you stay?
I still wonder why
I can't let you go
why can't you stay?
give it one more try
I can't let you go(2x)

bad habit dresden dolls

biting keeps your words at bay
tending to the sores that stay
happiness is just a gash away
when i open a familiar scar
pain goes shooting like a star
comfort hasn't failed to follow so far...

and you might say it's self-indulgent
you might say its self-destructive
but, you see, it's more productive
than if i were to be healthy

& pens and penknives take the blame
crane my neck & scratch my name
but the ugly marks
are worth the momentary gain...
when i jab a sharpened object in
choirs of angels seem to sing
hymns of hate in memorandum

and you might say it's self-indulgent
and you might say it's self-destructive
but, you see, it's more productive
than if i were to be happy

and sappy songs about sex and cheating
bland accounts of two lovers meeting
make me want to give mankind a beating

and you might say it's self-destructive
but, you see, i'd kick the bucket
sixty times before i'd kick the habit

and as the skin rips off i cherish the revolting thought
that even if i quit
there's not a chance in hell i'd stop
and anyone can see the signs
mittens in the summertime
thank you for your pity, you are too kind

and you might say its self-inflicted
but you see that's contradictive
why on earth would anyone practice self destruction?

and pain opinions are sitcom feeding
they dont know that their minds are teething
makes me want to give mankind a beating

i'm tried bandages and sinking
i've tried gloves and even thinking
i've tried vaseline
i've tried everything
and no-one cares if your back is bleeding
they're concerned with their hair receding
looking back it was all maltreating
every thought that occurred misleading

makes me want to give myself a beating....
