avril lavigne - let go


losing grip
are you aware of what you make me feel, baby?
right now i feel invisible to you, like i'm not real.
didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
why did you turn away?
here's what i have to say:
i was left to cry there, waiting outside there, grinning with a lost stare
that's when i decided

why should i care
cuz you weren't there when i was scared
i was so alone
you need to listen
i'm starting to trip
i'm losing my grip and i'm in this thing alone

am i just some chick you place beside you
to take somebody's place?
when you turn around can you recognize my face?
you used to love me, you used to hug me
but that wasn't the case,
everything wasn't ok
i was left to cry there, waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare

crying out loud i'm crying out loud

open your eyes, open up wide
why should i care
cuz you weren't there when i was scared
i was so alone
if you don't care
then i don't care were not going anywhere


complicated
aha, life's like this
aha, that's the way it is

chill out whatcha yellin' for?
lay back it's all been done before
and if you could only let it be you will see
i like you the way you are
when we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one
but you've become

somebody else round everyone else
you're watching your back like you can't relax
you're tryin' to be cool, you look like a fool to me
tell me
why you have to go and make things so complicated?
i see the way you're acting like you're somebody else it gets me frustrated
life's like this you
and you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
and you turn it into honesty and promise me i'm never gonna find you fake it
no

you come over unannounced
dressed up like you're somethin' else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become


sk8er boi
he was a boy, she was a girl
can i make it any more obvious?
he was a punk, she did ballet
what more can i say?
he wanted her
she'd never tell
secretly she wanted him as well
but all of her friends stuck up their nose
they had a problem with his baggy clothes

he was a skater boy
she said see you later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
she had a pretty face
but her head was up in space
she needed to come back down to earth

5 years from now
she sits at home
feeding the baby she's all alone
she turns on tv
guess who she sees
skater boy rockin up mtv
she calls up her friends
they already know
and they've all got
tickets to see his show
she tags along
stands in the crowd
looks up at the man that she turned down

he was a skater boy
she said see you later boy
he wasn't good enough for her

now he's a super star
slamming on his guitar
does your pretty face see what he's worth?

sorry girl but you missed out
well tough luck that boy's mine now
we are more than just good friends
this is how the story ends
too bad that you couldn't see,
see the man that boy could be
there is more that meets the eye
i see the soul that is inside

he's just a boy and i'm just a girl
can i make it any more obvious?
we are in love
haven't you heard how we rock each others world
i'm with the skater boy
i said see you later boy
i'll be back stage after the show
i'll be at a studio singing the song we wrote
about a girl you used to know


i'm with you
i'm standing on a bridge
i'm waitin in the dark
i thought that you'd be here by now
theres nothing but the rain
no footsteps on the ground
i'm listening but theres no sound

isn't anyone tryin to find me?
won't somebody come take me home?
it's a damn cold night
trying to figure out this life
wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
i don't know who you are but i
i'm with you

i'm looking for a place
i'm searching for a face
is anybody here i know?
cause nothings going right
and everythigns a mess
and no one likes to be alone

oh why is everything so confusing
maybe i'm just out of my mind


mobile
went back home again
this sucks gotta pack up and leave again
say goodbye to all my friends
can't say when i'll be there again
it's time now to turn around
turn my back on
everything

everythings changing
when i turn around all out of my control
i'm a mobile

start back at this life
stretch myself back into the vibe
i'm waking up to say i've tried
instead of waking up to another tv guide
it's time now to turn around turn and walk
on this crazy ground

hanging from the ceiling
lifes a mobile spinning round
with mixed feelings crazy and wild.
sometimes i wanna scream out loud
everythings changing
everywhere i go
all out of my control
everythings changing
everywhere i go out of what i know


unwanted
all that i did was walk over
start off by shaking your hand
that's how it went
i had a smile on my face and i sat up straight
i wanted to show you

you don't know me
don't ignore me
you don't want me there you just shut me out
you don't know me
don't ignore me
if you had your way you'd just shut me up
make me go away

no
i just don't understand why you won't talk to me
it's hurts
that i'm so unwanted for nothing
don't talk words against me
i wanted to know you
i wanted to show you

i tried to belong it didn't seem wrong
my head aches
its been so long i'll write this song
if that's what it takes


tommorow
and i wanna believe you when you tell me that it'll be ok
ya i try to believe you
but i don't
when you say that it's gonna be it always turns out to be a different way
i try to believe you
not today

i don't know how i'll feel,
tomorrow
tomorrow, i don't know what to say,
tomorrow
tomorrow is a different day
it's always been up to you
it's turning around it's up to me
i'm gonna do what i have to do
just don't
gimme a little time,
leave me alone a little while
maybe it's not too late
not today

and i know i'm not ready
maybe tomorrow
i'm not ready
maybe tomorrow

and i wanna believe you when you tell me that it'll be ok
yeah i try to believe you
not today
tomorrow it may change


anything but ordinary
sometimes i get so weird i even freak myself out
i laugh myself to sleep
it's my lullaby
sometimes i drive so fast just to feel the danger
i wanna scream
it makes me feel alive

is it enough to love?
is it enough to breath?
somebody rip my heart out
and leave me here to bleed
is it enough to die?
someboday save my life
i'd rather be anything but ordinary please

to walk within the lines
would make my life so boring
i want to know that i have been to the extreme
so knock me off my feet
come on now give it to me
anything to make me feel alive

let down your defences
use no common sense
if you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful, accident, turbulent,
succulent, opulent, permanent
no way
i wanna taste it
don't wanna waste it away

is it enough?
is it enough to breath?
somebody rip my heart out
and leave me here to bleed
is it enough to die?
somebody save my life
i'd rather be anything but ordinary please

things i'll never say
i’m tugging at my hair
i’m pulling at my clothes
i’m trying to keep my cool
i know it shows
i’m staring at my feet
my checks are turning red
i’m searching for the words inside my head

(cause) i’m feeling nervous
trying to be so perfect
cause i know you’re worth it
you’re worth it
yeah
if i could say what i want to say
i'd say i wanna blow you away
be with you every night
am i squeezing you too tight
if i could say what i want to see
i want to see you go down
on one knee
marry me today
yes, i’m wishing my life away
with these things i’ll never say

it don’t do me any good
it’s just a waste of time
what use is it to you
what’s on my mind?
if ain’t coming out we’re not going anywhere
so why can’t i just tell you that i care

what’s wrong with my tongue
these words keep slipping away
i stutter, i stumble
like i’ve got nothing to say


my world
please tell me what is taking place
cause i can't seem to find a trace
guess it must've got erased somehow
probably cause i always forget
everytime someone tells me their name
it's always gotta be the same

(in my world)
never wore cover-up
always beat the boys up
grew up in a 5000 population town
made my money by cutting grass
got fired by fried chicken ass
all in a small town, napanee.
you know i always stay up without sleepin'
and think to myself
where do i belong forever?
in whose arms, the time and place?

can't help if i space in a daze
my eyes tune out the other way
i may switch off and go in a daydream
in this head my thoughts are deep
but sometimes i can't even speak
would someone be and not pretend?
i'm off again in my world

i never spend less than an hour
washin' my hair in the shower
it always takes 5 hours to make it straight
so i'll braid it in a zillion braids
though it may take all friggin' day
there's nothin' else better to do anyway
when you're all alone in the lands of forever
lay under the milky way
on and on it's getting too late out
i'm not in love this time this night

(la la la la)
take some time, mellow out
party up but don't fall down
don't get caught
sneak out of the house


nobody's fool
step up

fall back
take a look at me and you'll see i'm for real
i feel what only i can feel and if that don't appeal to you
let me know
and i'll go
'cuz i flow better when my colors show
and that's the way it has to be
honestly
'cuz creativity could never bloom
in my room
i'd throw it all away before i lie
so don't call me with a compromise
hang up the phone i've got a backbone stronger than yours

if you're trying to turn me into someone else
its easy to see i'm not down with that
i'm not nobody's fool
if you're trying to turn me into something else
i've seen enough and i'm over that
i'm not nobody's fool
if you wanna bring me down
go ahead and try

you don't know
you think you know me like yourself
but i fear that you're only telling me what i wanna hear
but do you give a damn
understand that i can't not be what i am
i'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
its not a simple hearing but not so soon
i might've fallen for that when i was fourteen and a little more green
but its amazing what a couple of years can mean

go ahead and try
try and look me in the eye
but you'll never see inside
until you realise

things are trying to settle down
just try to figure out
exactly what i'm about
if its with or without you i don't need you doubting me

would you be laughing out loud
if i played to my own crowd
try too much to ask

its the first time i ever felt this lonely
i wish someone could cure this pain
its funny when you think its gonna work out
til you chose weed over me
you're so lame
i thought you were cool until the point but
up until the point you didn't call me when you said you would
i finally figured out youre all the same
always coming up with some kind of story

everytime i try to make you smile
you're always feeling sorry for yourself
everytime i try to make you laugh
you can't
youre too tough
you think you're loveless
is that too much that i'm asking for?

i thought you'd come around when i ignored you
so i thought you'd have the decency to change
but babe i guess you didn't take that warning
'cause i'm not about to look at your face again

can't you see that you lie to yourself
you can't see the world through a mirror
it wont be too late when the smoke clears
'cause i am still here


naked
i wake up in the morning put on my face
the one that's gonna get me through another day
doesn't really matter
how i feel inside
'cause life is like a game sometimes
but then you came around me
the walls just disappeared
nothing to surround me and keep me from my fears
i'm unprotected
see how i've opened up
oh, you've made me trust

because i never felt like this before
i'm naked around you
does it show?
you see right through me
and i can't hide
i'm naked around you
and it feels so right

i'm tyring to remember
why i was afraid
to be myself and let the covers fall away
i guess i never had someone like you
to help me fit in my skin
