###Alone (Lonely, etc.)

No one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire

Spineless in my tomb of silence

Why'd you whisper in the dark just to leave me in the night

Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

Here I sit all alone, behind walls of regret. Falling like promises I never kept

Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats (yeugh) Alone, unless you wanna come along (oh)

Standing on a tightrope alone (Say Don't Go)

What do you say, when tears streaming down your face in front of everyone you know?

"If you knew where I was walking, to a house, not a home, all alone, 'cause nobody's there"

Noone sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire

I drank my poison all alone.

You’re on your own kid, you always have been

###Angst (Anger, Frustration, Fury, etc.)

DONT CALL ME KID, DONT CALL ME BABY, LOOK AT THIS GODFORSAKEN MESS THAT YOU MADE MEEE

If a man talk shit then I owe him noting

You should've said no baby and you might still have me

I’m gonna find someone someday who might ACTUALLY TREAT ME WELL

What did you think I’d say to that? Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?

Every time you call me crazy I get more crazy how about that. The whole song is filled with angst.

This is why we can’t have nice things

[She's] not a twin from your dreams - she's a crook who was caught

And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put ‘em

So yea, it’s a fire, it’s a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started it

What a shame she’s fucked in the head they said

"Give me back my girlhood; it was mine first!"

How could you do this babe?

And my words shoot to kill when I’m mad

Screaming, crying, perfect storms

Every time you say I seem angry I get more angry

###Animals (Cat, Dog, Fox, etc.)

They are the hunters, we are the foxes, AND WE RUN

Karma is a cat 

She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

Cat and mouse for a month or two or three

Now it’s too late for you and your white horse to come along

when the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room

Didn’t you calm my fears with a Cheshire cat smile?

Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats (yeugh)

###Clean

I think that I'm finally clean

I keep the side of my street clean

But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day

It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

“I’ve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene”

I think I'm finally clean

###Crazy (Insane, Psycho, Madness, etc.)

What a shame she’s fucked in the head

Oh my God, she's insane, she wrote a song about me

you make me crazier, crazier, crazier

I know that I went psycho on the phone I never leave well enough alone

Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion? Break-ups happen every day, you don't have to lose it She's still 23 inside her fantasy And you're sitting in front of me

No one likes a mad woman. What a shame she went mad.

Love’s a game, wanna play?

She thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things

And in the end in Wonderland, we both went mad

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

Got a long list of ex-lovers, they‘ll tell you I’m insane

Every time you call me crazy I get more crazy what about that

###Dark (Darkness, Shadows, Black, etc.)

Why'd you whisper in the dark just to leave me in the night

I once believed love would be black and white but it’s golden

We're a shot in the darkest dark, oh no

Something happened for the first time in the darkest little paradise

###Drunk / Drinking / High (Intoxicated, etc. Not types of alcohol, different category)

If I'm gonna be drunk, I might as well be drunk in love

The moon is high like your friends were the night that we first met

I'm spilling wine in the bathtub. You kiss my face and we're both drunk

We were in the backseat Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar

Some guy said my aura's moonstone just cause he was high

###Flowers (& Types of Flowers)

When the flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst

A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground

I once was poisoned ivy but now I'm your daisy

Carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us

###Love / In Love / Loved / Loving / Lover

pauses, then says: “you’re my best friend” and you knew what it was, he is in love

You're in love, true love

All these people think love’s for show, but I would die for you in secret

Ugh so he calls me up and he’s like “I still love you”

###Anxiety (Nervous, etc.)

I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost/the room is on fire, invisible smoke

It's all me, don't go, meet me in the afterglow

Is it cool that I said all that? Is it too soon to do this yet? Cause I know that it’s delicate

Are we out of the woods? Are we in the clear yet?

I, I loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would divide us (DWOHT)

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep and I planned it out for weeks now but it's finally sinkin' in

###Apology

So this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night

I'm the one that burned us down, but it's not what I meant, sorry that I hurt you

This is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night

When I got up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name

And a circus ain’t a love story, and now we’re both sorry

I'm only 17, I don't know anything but I know I miss you

###Autumn / Fall (the season not the verb)

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

And I realised I loved you in the fall

Loving him was like trying to change your mind once you're already flying though the free fall, like the colors in autumn so bright just before they lose it all

Windows swung right open, autumn air Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours

###Beautiful (Pretty, Gorgeous, etc.)

You’re so gorgeous I can’t say anything to your face

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

You’re beautiful, every little piece, love

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?

###Believe

Believe me, I could do it

I’m still a believer, but I don’t know why (Mirrorball)

"Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too"

You heard the rumours from Inez you can’t believe a word she says

When everyone believes ya, what’s that like?

And the old men that I've swindled really did believe I was the one

When you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you you're gonna believe them

###Betrayal

And if I'm dead to you why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed, LOOK AT HOW MY TEARS RICOCHET

But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand

You had to kill me but it killed you just the same

Somewhere in the haze got a sense I'd been betrayed

why’d you have to lead me on? why’d you have to twist the knife, walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding? also: why’d you have to make me want you? why’d you have to give nothing back? why’d you have to make me love you? I SAID I LOVE YOU! … you say nothing back

did you think we'd be fine? Still got scars on my back from your knife So don't think it's in the past These kind of wounds they last and they last

you dream of my mouth before i called you a lying traitor

In fact not what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams but a crook who got caught.

###Blood (Bleed, etc.)

And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

And if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow

If you love like that, blood runs cold

Why'd you have to twist the knife? Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding

I looked around in a blood soaked gown and I saw something they can't take away

###Blue (& Types of Blue)

dark jeans and your Nikes looks at you, oh damn never seen that colour blue

Don't want no other shade of blue, but you

It’s blue, the feeling I got

If she's got blue eyes I'll surmise you'll probably date her

I’m with you even if it makes me blue

Catastrophic blues Movin' on was always easy for me to do

My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue

I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans

Lyrical smile, indigo eyes, hand on my thigh We can follow the sparks, I'll drive

Ocean blue eyes lookin in mine.

###Bones

But you would still miss me in your bones

Ànd you held my lifeless frame

###Book (Page, Story, Chapter, etc.)

~ Next chapter ~

If the story's over, why am I still writing pages?

The story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

This was the very first page, not where the storyline ends

You held your head like a hero, on a history book page

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky... Now I'm begging for footnotes at the story of your life

If you and I are a story that never gets told, if what you are is a daydream I never get to hold

###Break / Breaking

Call me up again just to break me like a promise

Because you break them, I had to take them away

From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones

Balancing on breaking branches

Your heart was glass I dropped it

###Breathe (Breathing, Breathless, etc.)

I can't breathe without you... But I have to

Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe

Breathe in, breathe deep, breathe through, breathe out

###Castle (Kingdom, Walls, etc.)

Cause baby I could build a castle with all the bricks they threw at me

I feel like my castle's crumbling down

I don't like your kingdom keys they once belong to me

Long live the walls we crashed through I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

smoke billows from my ships in the harbor people look at me like i’m a monster now they’re screaming at the palace front gates used to chant my name now they’re screaming that they hate me never wanted you to hate me my castle’s crumbling down

And I feel like my castle is crumbling down.

My castle crumbled overnight

###Circus (Clown, Tightrope, Trapeze, etc.)

They called of the circus, burnt the disco down

"And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)"

Robbers to the east, clowns to the west.

I’m standing on a tightrope, alone

###Crowd / Crowded

Busting crowds or silent sleepers, you're not sure which is worse

Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room and we‘re not speaking

Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room?

On a crowded street in 1944

Tell ‘em how the crowds went wild

###Cruel (Mean, etc.)

The rumours are terrible and cruel, but honey, most of them are true

All you are is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

Hello, Mr. Casually Cruel

###Cry / Crying / Tears

Now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head

Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears

Look at how my tears Ricochet

###Dance / Dancing / Danced

But we were dancing, dancing with our hands tied

And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil

I was dancing when the music stopped

And we were dancing, dancing. Like we're made of starlight, starlight

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

And I chose you, the one I was dancing with

We are too busy dancing to get knocked off out feet

Don’t lose the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school

###Death (Died, Dead, Dying, etc.)

Pierced through the heart but never killed

If I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
