Tempting Fate lyrics - Beth Crowley

 You could have anyone you want

You know it's true

People will fall over themselves

To get to you

And there's not a soul who understands

Why you chose me

But they don't have to

I have been perfectly content

Watching from the wings

As you become the legend you

Aspire to be

I've warned you the power that you crave

Comes at a price

But you won't hear me

Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate

You are so vividly alive

I often think

The sun must be jealous that

You burn more beautifully

Sometimes I wish I could keep your light

All to myself

But you'd resent me

Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate

If you don't live

To see your glory

But your name will be

In all the stories

Does that make leaving me

Worth leaving your legacy?

Does that make leaving me

Worth leaving your legacy?

Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate

The Worst Betrayal lyrics - Beth Crowley

 Shaky hands, heavy heart

One breath away from falling apart

It's my best-kept secret

Built a house made of glass

Won't let you close enough to see the cracks

'Cause I can't show weakness

If deception is an art form

You're looking at a fucking connoisseur

Nobody talks a bigger game than me

Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly

But you knew exactly what would hurt the most

And you dealt me the final blow

I have to say the worst betrayal is

You standing there acting all innocent

Like your good intentions were just misguided

Well I don't buy it

Endless days, sleepless nights

A false bravado to hide behind

But you saw right through it

And every instinct

Told me to run

From the force that

We could become

But you made me

Believe it was worth the jump

Nobody talks a bigger game than me

Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly

But you knew exactly what would hurt the most

And you dealt me the final blow

I have to say the worst betrayal is

You standing there acting all innocent

Like your good intentions were just misguided

Well I don't buy it

If chaos is a crusade

You're looking at a fucking renegade

Nobody talks a bigger game than me

Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly

But you knew exactly what would hurt the most

And you dealt me the final blow

I have to say the worst betrayal is

You standing there acting all innocent

Like your good intentions were just misguided

Well I don't buy it

But when all is said and done

You're still the one I want

WARRIOR X lyrics - Beth Crowley

 You fascinated me

Cloaked in shadows and secrecy

The beauty of a broken angel

I ventured carefully

Afraid of what you thought I'd be

But pretty soon I was entangled

You take me by the hand

I question who I am

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test

I'll prove that I am strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was

Inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior

My memory refused

To separate the lies from truth

And search the past my mind created

I kept on pushing through

Standing resolute which you

In equal measure loved and hated

You take me by the hand

I'm seeing who I am

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test

I'll prove that I am strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was

Inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior

Lies a warrior

You take me by the hand

I'm sure of who I am

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test

I'll prove that I am strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was

Inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior

Lies a warrior

The pictures come to life

Wake in the dead of night

Open my eyes, I must be dreaming

Clutch my pillow tight

Brace myself for the fight

I've heard that seeing is believing

Sacred Oath lyrics - Beth Crowley

 Time betrayed the both of us

It was never on our side

We never had enough

Fate came in to twist the knife

I got second chance

Only to lose you twice

Some days I'm so mad

I can't think straight

Plotting the revenge

That I won't take

Anger rolling through me

In shockwaves

Won't you stay

Just stay with me

With me

I have sins I won't deny

But if this is punishment

It doesn't fit the crime

Some days I'm so sad

I can't stand it

Got this far to come up

Empty-handed

One more dream I had

To abandon

Won't you stay

Just stay with me

With me

I remember how

You treated me

Like a sacred oath

You were bound to keep

When we washed away

Our history

You still loved me when

I wasn't clean

And I reach for you

When the nights get cold

It's a habit that I

Never broke

You have always been

The only home I need

So stay

Stay

Won't you stay

Just stay with me

Please

Stay

Won't you stay

With me

With me

Cold-Blooded lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I tried my best

At playing nice

But it's a cutthroat world

So I'm guarding mine

Weakness is

As weakness does

To stay alive

Is not good enough

I've seen things

That would break most people

But I'm not most people

On my own

My power uncontrolled

It's intoxicating

And I can't satisfy this craving

I watch as my enemies

Are reduced to nothing

And I love it

'Cause I'm that cold-blooded

I live by

One simple truth

That if you dare cross me

I'm doing worse to you

So if my hands

Are stained with blood

It's worth it to

Be victorious

I've done things

That would haunt most people

But I'm not most people

On my own

My power uncontrolled

It's intoxicating

And I can't satisfy this craving

I watch as my enemies

Are reduced to nothing

And I love it

'Cause I'm that cold-blooded

No remorse

No regrets

And I am only

Getting started

Mark my words

I won't settle

For less than I deserve

On my own

My power uncontrolled

It's intoxicating

And I can't satisfy this craving

I watch as my enemies

Are reduced to nothing

And I love it

'Cause I'm that cold-blooded

The Ghost Who Is Still Alive lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I struck a deal with the devil

Masquerading as a God

I sold my soul

Now I'm all alone

With my bruised and battered heart

One day I'll have the freedom

To finally leave a mark

'Til then I'll just be

Dancing with the dark

I am

The whisper of a memory

I am

The fear you might have lost your mind

I am

The face you don't remember

But you have seen a thousand times

The ghost who is still alive

I didn't know any better

Thought that I was being saved

I let him take my hand

As he led me in

To a different kind of cage

Does a life have any meaning

If no one knows your name?

If not then I'm the

Only one to blame

I am

The whisper of a memory

I am

The fear you might have lost your mind

I am

The face you don't remember

But you have seen a thousand times

The ghost who is still alive

I watch the time

Tick tick away

On a broken clock

Made without a face

I once begged for more

What a sacrifice I made

I am

The whisper of a memory

I am

The fear you might have lost your mind

I am

The face you don't remember

But you have seen a thousand times

The ghost who is still alive

I struck a deal with the devil

Monster lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I sleep all day

I prowl at night

Do anything to feel alive

I'm in the end just what you made me

I look the same

But I'm not fine

The Master of my own disguise

If you knew the truth you'd probably hate me

I need a fight

I've got you in my sights

Only one of us will make it out alive

I'm turning into a monster

You better run and hide

I'm turning into a monster

Right before your eyes

My tongue is a weapon

And I'm locked and loaded

When you least expect it

You won't know it's coming

And I'll strike, cause I'm a monster

I'm merciless, when will you learn?

Set fires just to watch them burn

I bet you never saw me coming

Delirium takes over me

You're just another casualty

I can hear your heartbeat drumming

I need a fight

I've got you in my sights

Only one of us will make it out alive

I'm turning into a monster

You better run and hide

I'm turning into a monster

Right before your eyes

My tongue is a weapon

And I'm locked and loaded

When you least expect it

You won't know it's coming

And I'll strike, cause I'm a monster

I'm turning into a monster

You better run and hide

I'm turning into a monster

Right before your eyes

My tongue is a weapon

And I'm locked and loaded

When you least expect it

You won't know it's coming

And I'll strike, cause I'm a monster

I'm a monster

What You Need lyrics - Beth Crowley

 Countless times

We've said it was over

Made up our minds

We shouldn't be lovers

But I hear life has made you jaded

And the light you had is faded

And I wonder, would you still shine for me?

Just call it intuition

I have tried hard not to listen

But a voice keeps saying I'm what you need

Months go by

And it's radio silence

I'll be resigned

That your name won't pass my lips

But then you call me up one day

And my resolve just melts away

And I can't help but fall into you again

I know I have to quit

I catch myself before admitting

It's not good enough to just be your friend

But deep down

I know you only miss me

Because my face brings back your memories

Of a better time

When you felt alive

It's hard to give you up

Our best was never quite enough

We weren't supposed to last

I'm never going back

I hear life has made you jaded

And the light you had is faded

But I think you're finished shining for me

You're complacent in the dark

And now we're miles and years apart

I hope one day you finally find what you need

Why won't you figure out what you really need

I wish I could have the person you need

Living Without You lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I walk alone

Pace up and down the streets we used to know

'Cause our house no longer feels much like home

It hasn't for a while

I hum along

Listening to all your favorite songs

Close my eyes and just imagine you're not gone

Remembering your smile

I write you letters that you'll never read

Paint you pictures you will never see

In all my life I never thought I'd be

Living without you

I lost of part of me I'll never find

But I keep searching, looking for a sign

You haven't gone and left me far behind

Living without you

It's getting late

Amongst the crowd I swear I see your face

Turn around have to do a double take

Though I know it won't be you

I hear your voice

A symphony that soars above the noise

Telling me that now I've got to make a choice

Stay still or start anew

I write you letters that you'll never read

Paint you pictures you will never see

In all my life I never thought I'd be

Living without you

I lost of part of me I'll never find

But I keep searching, looking for a sign

You haven't gone and left me far behind

Living without you

I'll try to finish what you started

Be the person that you wanted

See the beauty in the world

They say a person never leaves you

God, I'm hoping that might be true

But this is always going to hurt

I write you letters that you'll never read

Paint you pictures you will never see

In all my life I never thought I'd be

Living without you

I lost of part of me I'll never find

But I keep searching, looking for a sign

You haven't gone and left me far behind

Living without you

Battle Cry lyrics - Beth Crowley

 I have no heart, just ice and stone

Made up of nails and teeth and bone

And I know exactly what I'm for

To hurt and destroy and nothing more

And if it's true that I was made

I still don't know if I can change

But something has stirred

A beast has awakened

Opened a door

There's no mistaking

Waging a war

It's fighting inside of me

So hear my battle cry

I'm out for blood to claim what's mine

Finally questioning

If I am my own worst

I am my own worst

I am my own worst enemy

I never thought that I could love

Strangers at night were good enough

But love's not a thing you get to choose

Try to resist you'll always lose

I made a deal to sell my soul

But lately, I have dared to hope

That something has stirred

A beast has awakened

Opened a door

There's no mistaking

Waging a war

It's fighting inside of me

So hear my battle cry

I'm out for blood to claim what's mine

Finally

Questioning

If I am my own worst

I am my own worst

I am my own worst enemy

Tell my secrets to the wind

Flying I feel infinite

'Cause something has stirred

A beast has awakened

Opened a door

There's no mistaking

Waging a war

It's fighting inside of me

So hear my battle cry

I'm out for blood to claim what's mine

Finally

Questioning

If I am my own worst

I am my own worst

I am my own worst enemy

Don't Think Just Run lyrics - Beth Crowley

 You don't know yet where you're going

If it's better than where you are coming from

Settle down

This feels right somehow

You meet twists and turns every corner

But each step you take brings you closer

To everything that's achingly familiar

And at the edges of your mind, your mind

Something is whispering to go

Into the unknown

And see what you find

So deep breath in

You're meant for this

Everyone wants to know

If you're the answer they've been searching for

All eyes on you

So much to prove

Whoever you were back then

You won't ever be again

Remember how far you've come

Don't think just run

You forced yourself to dig deeper

When you redefined the impossible

Can't give in

To the hopelessness

Some rules are meant to be broken

You won't be confined by them anymore

This might be your one chance at redemption

It's all or nothing

Make your stand, you stand

You reached the edge there is no choice

Now you have to jump

And see where you land

So deep breath in

You're meant for this

Everyone wants to know

If you're the answer they've been searching for

All eyes on you

So much to prove

Whoever you were back then

You won't ever be again

Remember how far you've come

Don't think just run

There might be peace on the other side

Your memories on the other side

Nothing to lose on the other side

You won't be scared of the other side

What might be there on the other side

The world is new on the other side

So deep breath in

You're meant for this

Everyone wants to know

If you're the answer they've been searching for

All eyes on you

So much to prove

Whoever you were back then

You won't ever be again

Remember how far you've come

Don't think just run

EP: "Come Alive" (2015)

Come Alive lyrics - Beth Crowley

I am a wanderer
I never needed anyone
But you've stopped me in my tracks
And I like the way you scare me
So let's leave the past behind
The future's anybody's guess
Just give me right now baby
I don't want to keep my distance anymore

[Chorus:]
Because I come alive
In your arms, in your arms
You touch me and I
Fall apart, fall apart
Let the world melt away
Blur all the lines between love and the pain
Cause tonight is when I come alive

You are a blinding light
A darkness courses through my veins
And somehow you chose me
I refuse to let you down
So come here a little closer
I'll love you past the breaking point
You're what I never wanted
But now I have never wanted something more

[Chorus]

If good and evil do exist
And we're on different sides of it
Take my hand and walk me through the fire

[Chorus]

Midnight lyrics - Beth Crowley

I know I’m different
Than what you expected
But I’ve been playing a role
It’s time that you know the truth

You may not want me anymore
I’m not what you’ve been looking for
But under these pieces and parts
Is a beautiful heart and it loves you

So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight

I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight

Always told what to believe
Now nothing is quite what it seemed
It’s a battle of head versus heart
Can’t tell them apart like before

But the truth is concealed in the lies
I’ve decided I’m done trying to hide
I won’t sit back and watch the world burn
When I know it’s my turn to fight this war

So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight

I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight

Fog starts to lift, is my mind playing tricks?
Cause you look like home
Then I know this real, I trust what I feel
That neither of us has to be alone
You don’t have to be alone

So meet me at midnight
Find me by moonlight

I’ve been waiting for so long
To feel like I’m whole
More than what you see
Please don’t define me
This is bigger than you and I
So give me a chance
And meet me at midnight

Always lyrics - Beth Crowley

We were both children when,
So full of innocence,
We used to play our games in flowery fields,
You're the one who could see,
The good inside of me,
And I knew then that I had something real,

I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
But you were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always,

For years my feelings grew,
But I was losing you,
The only happiness I'd ever known,
Another came along,
And slowly won your heart,
I cared enough for you to let you go,

I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
You were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always,

A thousand times the words just died right on my lips,
Regret came over me with its swift and stinging kiss,

I used to love you from afar,
As we all decided who we are,
You were never mine to have,
Still I loved you to the last,
Because you were my, you are my always.

Here We Go Again lyrics - Beth Crowley

Here we go again
Our game of tug-o-war
For me it’s real now
I’m not playing anymore
You try to wear me down
With your pretty pretty words

Just when I think I’m done
I’m halfway out the door
You pull me in again
Promising to give me more
Yet I’m still surprised every time that I get hurt

I reach out to touch the flame
Cuz I refuse to think it burns
Retreat and lick my wounds
But of course I never learn
You’re a rocket to the moon
I’m stranded on the ground
Come back for what you lost
Let me show you, show you what I found

Here we go again
I lose myself in you
Your love defines me
In a way I didn’t want it to
If I keep holding on
You’re going to bend me til I break

I’m coming face to face
With what I’ve always known
That I am terrified
Of who I am when I’m alone
But now it’s time to choose
Which one of us I’m going to save

You could be
The greatest chance I’ll never take
You’ll always be
My worst and favorite mistake

"Porcelain Heart" (2014)

Make Me Yours lyrics - Beth Crowley

Don't say a word or I am going to lose my nerve
I guess your silence might be
More than I deserve
We've always had excuses
For why we couldn't make it work
But I have to stop pretending
That being without you
Doesn't hurt

This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours

I've said too much but I have got to get this out
Don't blame the timing
'Cause the only time is now
And if we're done we'll go our separate ways
And say goodbye
But I think we'll both have our regrets if we do not give this a try

This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours

Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine tonight
Put it all out on the line tonight
'Cause I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine
I am going to make you mine

This push and pull
Aren't you tired of running
Making me feel like I'm the fool
And this back and forth
Is stopping tonight 'cause I'm standing here telling you
Make me yours

2007 lyrics - Beth Crowley

A parking deck,
At 3am,
He's on the other line,
Through fearful whispers,
He can tell that I am far from fine,
Honestly,
He might have saved my life that night,
The year 2007,
I began to fight,

'Cause you can't call a doctor,
And just tell him where it hurts,
You weigh the choice to live or die,
And don't know which is worse,
Stumbling through darkness,
Grasping for a shred of light,
Wrestling your demons,
'Till you reach the other side,

Others chalk it up to heartbreak or a passing phase,
In fitful sleep you scream I'm not supposed to feel this way,
I don't have answers,
But I made it through the rain,
And happiness is worth the temporary pain,

'Cause you can't call a doctor,
And just tell him where it hurts,
You weigh the choice to live or die,
And don't know which is worse,
Stumbling through darkness,
Grasping for a shred of light,
Wrestling your demons,
'Till you reach the other side,

'Cause you can't call a doctor,
And just tell him where it hurts,
You weigh the choice to live or die,
And don't know which is worse,
Stumbling through darkness,
Grasping for a shred of light,
Wrestling your demons,
'Till you reach the other side.

How It Ends lyrics - Beth Crowley

There’s a darkness that plays behind your wicked smile
Aching sadness as you cradle me like I’m a child
This is madness
We’re descending into madness

And it chills me to the bone
Even when you’re gone I’m not alone
I’m never alone

I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends

I am frightened as we tumble down the rabbit hole
My grip tightens, I’m clinging to your missing soul
You can fight them
Together we can fight them

Tell me you’re not too far gone
That I’m not a fool for holding on
I have to hold on

I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends

Deep within your twisted truth
You've made yourself a home
But it’s a place where I can’t follow you
Don’t leave me on my own
I can’t do this on my own

I’m searching, desperate for a fracture in your shell
With every passing day it gets harder to tell
Where the demon stops and where you begin
But I promise you this isn’t how it ends

Porcelain Heart lyrics - Beth Crowley

I couldn't help myself, watching your moonlight silhouette as we all sat fire side,
I was hanging on to every word you said, in that moment all I wanted was a chance to love you.

So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defenses, to my porcelain heart

You came and stood by me, your crooked smile brighter than the stars.
And you pulled me to my feet whispering the summer time is ours, and I felt it as we melted into something wonderful

Oh we danced cause we were feeling young you looked at me like you couldn't get enough

So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defenses, to my porcelain heart

Oh we danced cause we were feeling young you looked at me like you couldn't get enough

So I handed you my porcelain heart, breakable but not yet broken, harboring my words unspoken.
I handed you my porcelain heart, disregarding consequences, letting down all my defences, to my porcelain heart

Skin And Bones lyrics - Beth Crowley

I used to dream about the heroes of stories
As life became an endless night
When hope was gone you resurrected my spirit
Brought me from darkness into light

I can sense a storm is coming
Anchoring you to me

Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength
Might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
And when I lose myself
You help me stand so tall

I listen closely and hear sweet strains of music
I'm captured in a reverie
Through all these years you've been my quiet salvation
Reflecting who I want to be

Please for my sake no more talk of
Blessings and curses tonight

Far beneath my skin and bones
I harbor my divided soul
My greatest source of strength might be my downfall
But love was not a choice for me
I held my breath and took a leap
When I lose myself
You help me stand so tall

Standing in silence we look out at the water
Amazed how much the world has changed
I see behind your eyes such wisdom and sorrow
You're wondering if we're still the same

I felt more love than I could
Give in just one lifetime

Far beneath my skin and bones
I safekeep our united souls
My greatest source of strength was not my downfall
Because love was not a choice for me
I held your hand and took a leap
I'll never lose myself
You help me stand so tall

My Good Days lyrics - Beth Crowley

We met across a great divide
Took a running start and watched our stars collide
You shine the brightest for me
Suddenly I didn't care
About hospital rooms or sympathetic stares
I never felt so free

We fell in love beneath a champagne sunset
Living a lifetime in the moments we spent
Chasing forever trying to change our fate
You were every one of my good days

We were both on borrowed time
Going uphill on a roller coaster ride
Scared to give up control
But still you refused to quit
Trying anything to more than just exist
You wanted your story told

We fell in love beneath a champagne sunset
Living a lifetime in the moments we spent
Chasing forever trying to change our fate
You were every one of my good days

One day my tired heart will take its final aching beat
I'll smile cuz I'll remember how we redefined infinity
Maybe in the somewhere you believed in we will dance
And love the way we craved to when we didn't get our chance

We'll fall in love beneath a champagne sunset
We'll live a lifetime in the moments we spend
Chasing forever knowing we're okay
You'll be every one of my good days
You were every one of my good days

Nothing Left lyrics - Beth Crowley

I remember that night clear as day
Feeling helpless as you walked away
Wish I could rewrite history
To a story where you stay with me

Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say your tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved

Forever's what I promised you
But forever's meant for liars and fools
A check mark on my lessons learned
That you don't always get what you deserve

Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say you tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved

Standing in the wreckage I can tell there's nothing left
And I don't believe you when you say you tried your best
You barely glance back at the damage in your wake
And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved

And you may never care that I'm the one you could have saved

This Goodbye lyrics - Beth Crowley

My world caught fire
You're the one who lit the spark
Now I'm playing with matches
All alone here in the dark

I had to learn the hard way
That salvation has its price
But I'll never forgive myself
That you were the sacrifice

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye

Some days the guilt inside
Becomes too much to bear
I stopped seeking redemption
I don't have the will to care

I know I should be stronger
Cause I think that's what you'd want
You'd be so ashamed if you
Could see the nothing I've become

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye

And I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you
I gladly would have taken your place
I wanted to always protect you
But I broke every promise I made
Please don't leave me

Cause I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me
It's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse
Than this goodbye

This goodbye

Warrior lyrics - Beth Crowley

You fascinated me
Cloaked in shadows and secrecy
The beauty of a broken angel

I ventured carefully
Afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled

You take me by the hand
I question who I am

Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along

That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior

My memory refused
To separate the lies from truth
And search the past
My mind created

I kept on pushing through
Standing resolute which you
In equal measure
Loved and hated

You take me by the hand
I'm seeing who I am

Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along

That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior

Lies a warrior...

You take me by the hand
I'm sure of who I am

Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along

That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior

The pictures come to life
Wake in the dead of night
Open my eyes
I must be dreaming

Clutch my pillow tight
Brace myself for the fight
I've heard that seeing
Is believing

Pretend It's Home lyrics - Beth Crowley

Breathe it in
Let the fear consume you
Then force it out
Remember that it's not true

The higher you climb
The farther you fall
But don't be ashamed
Of wanting it all

Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home

Take control
Be strong in your conviction
Embrace the pain
A dangerous addiction

Once you make a choice
There's no turning back
Trust only yourself
When you're under attack

Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home

I'm a secret, I'm a lie
I'm the weakness I despise
I am selfish, I am brave
I'll prove to you that I am not afraid

That I am not afraid

Cause the view from the top
Is beautiful but fleeting
The world seems to stop
But looks can be deceiving
You're surrounded
But you'll always be alone
So pick a place, pretend it's home

So pick a place, pretend it's home

Girl Like Me lyrics - Beth Crowley

She's blonde, I'm not,
I know you think she's hot,
By all standards, she's a perfect ten, it's true.
She's your living dream,
Off the pages of a magazine,
Probably, a better than me for you.

But I've got a sexy personality,
Not a size two,
Don't have big boobs,
But I've been told I'm kind of funny.
(Yeah, I made that up.)

Just don't give in to the stereotype,
Of what a guy, who looks like you is supposed to like.
I know it may be crass but I could kick that skinny bitch's ass,
Just take a chance on a girl like me.

She's a piece of work,
No one should have that much perk,
Oh so classy while she's dancing on the bar.
While I read Keats and Poe,
And as far as looks go,
No one's run away from me in fear so far.

'Cause I've got a bangin' set of listening skills,
I know how to bake,
Well just the box kind of cake,
But I think it still tastes pretty good,
Especially funfetti.
(What? It's delicious.)

Just don't give in to the stereotype,
Of what a guy, who looks like you is supposed to like.
I know it may be crass but I could kick that skinny bitch's ass,
Just take a chance on a girl like me.

Baby you should be with me,
Oh I could give you fifty reasons,
Face it all she'll ever give you is,
Venereal diseases.
You'll break my heart if you prove that the movies lie,
But in the end the quirky chick still gets the guy.

So don't give in to the stereotype,
Of what a guy, who looks like you is supposed to like.
I know it may be crass but I could kick that skank whore's fake tanned ass,
Just take a chance on a girl like me.

Gone lyrics - Beth Crowley

My greatest love is gone
He might as well have died
An impostor wears his face
One I barely recognize
And something burns inside of me
Anger eats me alive
But lock us both up in her cage
I’m the one who will survive

So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose

My greatest love is gone
You took him far away
He sits right next to me
But he’ll never be the same
You thief you found my weakness
And you went on the attack
But look over your shoulder
See my target on your back

So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose

Fight or flight
Was the decision ever mine?
It was never mine

So are you happy now
You got exactly what you wanted
You try to bring me down
Destroy me piece by piece
But I have made a vow
I won’t live the life you made me choose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose
We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose

My Forgiveness lyrics - Beth Crowley

I never claimed to be a saint
but keep in mind neither are you
you wield your book like it's your greatest weapon
but did you ever stop and think that maybe
that was not its intention, its intention

So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
but this tapestry of hate you've woven
has begun to fray
because in the end words are only words
yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt
so forgive me if I do not follow suit
then again who says my forgiveness lies with you

You have the right to disagree
For what it's worth I'll respect your beliefs
Can't you afford the same compassion
to your fellow man even if you do not
understand his actions, his actions

So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
but this tapestry of hate you've woven
has begun to fray
because in the end words are only words
yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt
so forgive me if I do not follow suit
then again who says my forgiveness lies with you

And if your heaven won't let me in
because I refuse to cast my stones
I'll spend eternity wandering
searching for a place to call my own
but I won't be alone

I never claimed to be a saint
but keep in mind neither are you

So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
but this tapestry of hate you've woven
has begun to fray
because in the end words are only words
yet you still hide behind them no matter who you hurt
so forgive me if I do not follow suit
then again who says my forgiveness lies with you

My Version Of You lyrics - Beth Crowley

I probably looked at you a thousand times
I never really saw you
I had a picture of you in my mind
I thought you could live up to
You drew a line between us in the sand
The tide came and washed it away
But God, it felt amazing when you held my hand
Like you heard everything I wasn’t brave enough to say

I put you on a pedestal
Gave you so far to fall
I came to see that knowing you
Wasn’t knowing you at all

So can we go back
To when I thought you were perfect
I want to believe
In your mystery
Because you’re the dream I
Had for so much of my life
Who will I become
If I give you up
So even if it’s not true
I want another moment
With my version of you

I saw you floating in a crystal sky
But you were always out of my reach
How come I never stopped to wonder why
It was okay you didn’t need me
Somewhere inside of me I think I know
We’re not the people that we were then
I watched you leave but I can’t let you go
In spite of everything it doesn’t feel like it’s the end

My paper thin arguments
Don’t hold weight anymore
The paths we chose will never lead
To the way things were before

You are a figment of my imagination
You are a being of my own creation
I wish you could exist
No other way than this

Red lyrics - Beth Crowley

Red is the new dawn
Red is the fall leaves
Red is the anger
At the lies you made me believe

And I said we're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming

Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
You'll be seeing red

I am the lightening
I am the rain storm
I am a soldier
And I am marching into war

And I said we're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming
We're coming, we're coming

Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait

I have worn so many faces
Hiding in plain sight
Your downfall

Cut me open and I still bleed red
Do your best to get inside my head
Cuz I'm gonna make you remember my name
And I'll be the last one you ever betray
Just wait
You'll be seeing red

Seventeen lyrics - Beth Crowley

I can go for days, even months
without thinking of you, not even once
then like a wave you come crashing into my dreams

I'm sitting with you in your beat up car
laughing and looking up at the stars
a shadow falls over your face as you turn to me

You say I won't be happy til I give you the world
Don't you know you'll always be my girl
and I wake up with your words echoing through my head

[Chorus:]
Are you thinking of me where you are now?
Are you happy with how your life's turning out?
I know we were kids back then
but it's not fair to downplay it

Too many years have since gone by
to confess what's been haunting me all of this time
That a part of me is seventeen
and still in love with you

I leave my eyes closed so I can keep
slow dancing with your memory
But the image that once burned brightly starts to fade

I know I romanticize all that we were
at the end of the day you and I didn't work
Yet so much of who I am I owe to you

[Chorus]

If I knew back then what I know now
Could have foretold the end somehow
I still don't think I would change a thing
about how I felt at seventeen

[Chorus]
