Girl, don't tell me how you want me
Tell me how to get through
Girl, don't tell me how you want me
Tell me how to get through
'Cause I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know you inside out
Know what I'm talking about
You're taking me higher than I've been before
You're taking me higher than I've been before
And leaving me shallow
Girl, don't tell me how you need me
Tell me how to get through
Cause I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know
I gotta know you inside out
Know what I'm talking about
You're taking me higher than I've been before
You're taking me higher than I've been before
You're taking me higher
You're taking me higher
You gotta do what you do
Gotta say what you say
And lie to yourself
Forever
You gotta do what you do
Gotta say what you say
You've lied to yourself
Forever
Girl, don't tell me how you need me
Tell me how to get through
Girl, don't tell me how you need me
Tell me how to get through
Are you biting your tongue
Or riding on your tights?
It's hard to discern
If it's just a state of mind
All these second chances get another problem off your chest
Know not where you go or where you've been
Give into love it's the one thing we have
Hold out your laugh, see the beauty within
I know the way that you won't make a fuss
Don't mean there's no pain
So they say,
There must be more to life than this
No mistaking happiness
There is more to life this
Through the days and nights we drift
Are you biding your time? or sinking in the shallows?
It's hard to describe, I might never know
Always heard you've got shit for brains
Move your body in a thousand ways
I know it's in your nature to explore
Give into love it's the one thing we have
Hold out your laugh, see the beauty within
I know the way that you won't make a fuss
Don't mean there's no pain
So they say,
There must be more to life than this
That's what you say
No mistaking happiness
There is more to life this
Through the days and nights we drift
In the distant fantasy
There will be no place for us
I heard you say
There must be more to life than this
That's what you say
No mistaking happiness
Try to steer me with your jalousy
My move is to reject influence
Try to lure me with your vanity
You want to try use my honesty
Try to steer me with your jalousy
You want, I won't, I want, you do not
I want, you won't, you want, I do not
Try to create freedom for myself
Dare to speak, dare to fall
Try to steer me with your jalousy
My move is to reject influence
Try to lure me with your vanity
You want to try use my honesty
Try to steer me with your jalousy
You want, I won't, I want, you do not
I want, you won't, you want, I do not
Try to create freedom for myself
Kissing the stone wall where we once lay,
Sends me to thinking of words I'd say.
Missing your sweet lips, still so tongue-tied.
Love's a word that I could say time and time again.
Love's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain.
Dragging me over the highest wall
Holding me tightly for fear I fall.
How could I ever explain in words?
Hurt's a word that I could say time and time again.
Hurt's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain.
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Still they're true.
Singing your praises, while you're with her,
Foolishly patient for your return.
Silent you left me. And silence stays.
Pain's a word that I could say time and time again.
Pain's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain.
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Still they're true.
Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
What I could say, what I should say, what I can say.
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Still they're true.
Sleeping late.
Wasting the day away.
I don't care what they say.
I'm gonna stay in bed for a while.
Sleeping late.
Everything's down the drain.
Everything stays the same.
I'm gonna wait right here for a while.
I don't care what I've been missing.
You can call but I won't listen to anything you say.
I know it can wait.
I know it can wait.
Sleeping late.
Letting the time go by.
Letting my mind run dry.
I'm gonna disappear for a while.
Sleeping late.
Wait 'till the sun goes down.
Maybe I'll come around
when all the streets are empty and quiet.
I don't care what I've been missing.
You can call but I won't listen to anything you say.
I know it can wait.
I know it can wait.
You seized more than words you stole a part of me,
freezing my sureness and ability to trust,
when we're apart you just betray me,
now your malevolence is all we share,
you cast forth an image of someone who cares,
but your words twist and never seem sincere,
I search to find a kind of truth about you,
only finding you using self indulgence as a tool,
I don't want to see any part of you in my self,
I'm rebuilding what you took,
and I'm trying to care again, try to distance yourself,
and dismiss what we shared,
shattered someone else feelings all over again,
You're wasting time
Time to shake and throw down
But I can't fight
You are the one to say goodbye
And when you shout my mouth is dry
Only when you try
Is your shallow water running high
You know what's inside
So glad to see
You take my hand between your knees
And once inside
I'll only take the things that shine
You always said those things were mine
You only said goodbye
When your shallow water got too high
You know what's inside
Only when you try
Because your shallow water growing high
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
"...does it seem cold in here to you?"
"y'alright?"
"yeah..."
[Male vocal samples: Kevin and Rich Kern (?)]
Well I won't hold my breath, been in too long I guess.
Only time will tell.
I can't stand here waiting.
Give me a simple dream,
Once across a shallow stream.
All in the name of change. But I can't stand here
waiting.
Innocent descent at last,
Represent my hollow past,
Underneath and falling fast.
I can't stand here waiting.
It's all an arrow so.
I'm way off mark I know.
Release at least if all.
'Cause I can't stand here waiting.
All my dreams were lost and found.
Set them up and knock 'em down.
She's gone two thousand years.
I can't stand here waiting.
Innocent descent at last (I won't save my breath),
Represent my hollow past (I won't hold my breath),
Underneath and falling fast (I won't hold my....).
I can't stand here waiting.
[Female vocal sample: Bjork - "Crying" from her Debut
album.]
Face turns black
Swollen eyes
Fall down dead prey to disguise
Such a pretty face you filled your mouth with
Fuck you glutton joke you're all the same
Turn away face the money
Dip your hand into the honey
Such a pretty fate you filled your head with
Pleasures for the rich so close you are
Simplicity it's so easily led
All your life could go easily unsaid
I can't wait till you're gone, leave me in peace
I'm so much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never be
A picture framed of you and someone
She knows your name but she doesn't like you
Such a pretty face you filled your head with
Fuck you glutton joke you're all the same
Simplicity it's so easily led
All your life could go easily unsaid
I can't wait till you're gone, leave me in peace
I'm so much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never...
Sucking the mother dry.
It's the age old sin.
Sucking the mother dry.
It's the age old sin.
I can't wait till you're gone, leave me in peace
I'm so much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never see
I'm so much more, I'm so much more
I'm so much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never see
So much more, so much more
So close yet so distant
Fading face embraces resistant
Words kept hidden
And shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow
Your emotions are hallow
You haven't learned, it's time.
Cause you ain't comin' back
It'll never be the same old song
The cards are stacked
And time's run out
And everything's a game.
So sing me your lullaby
'cause I need to know why
why I keep fallin'
Keep fallin'
You know you're shallow
Used to be at the top, now you've dropped
Lost all your common sense and now your brain's stopped
There's nothing left in your mind except yourself
You gave it all up - your home, your friends and yourself.
Now you're out on your own, you've lost your soul
Get a hold of yourself - know your role.
So close yet so distant
Fading face embraces resistant
Words kept hidden
And shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow
Your emotions are hollow
You haven't learned, it's time
Well look at how you're being
Now that you've gone off the deep end
Look at how you're being
To me and nearly all my friends
You told all the secrets
You promised everybody you would keep
I could be that shallow too
If only I wasn't in so deep
Along the dust of silence
Imaginary beggars call you knight
And your telephone doesn't ring
But you keep it off the hook just the same
And you lie awake at night
Pretending that you just can't get to sleep
I could be that shallow too
If only I wasn't in so deep
I seen your only house
Behind that brand new subdivision
I stood behind you in line
While you agonized over your decision
And your choice has turned out to be the same
As all the others, shitty
I could be that shallow too
If only I wasn't in so deep
I could be that shallow too
If only I wasn't in so deep
I could be that shallow too
If I really wanted to
I could do what you do
I could be that shallow too
I could be that shallow too
If I really wanted to
I could do what you do
I could be that shallow too
I could be that shallow too
If I really wanted to
I could do what you do
I could be that shallow too
I could be that shallow too
If I really wanted to
I could do what you do
I could be that shallow too
Sometimes it seems you just don't understand
The way I think and who I am
When I'm told, I'm told what I'm supposed to be
You think you know what's best for me
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
Sometimes it seems I might be losing touch
Or maybe I just try too much
Now I, now I get told I'm crazy
Nothing you can say will phase me now
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
I walk alone
My thoughts aren't always carved in stone
My life revolves according to me,
And what you say don't mean a fucking thing to me
Yeah, you'll see
I'll make it further on my own
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
I'll turn my head and walk away
I want to see you standing next to me
Seems you got nothing much to say
And when you're dying lying next to me
Fathomless – you burn a hole in my mind about you.
Callousness – you’re so color blind!
Misery – you’d care what others would say about you.
Mercenary – you’d sell your soul for lies.
Lies!
Fashion statement makes a mark, Selfish, glitter disregard, friendships a hypocrite, with qualities skin deep.
Judge the cloths that they wear, or the color of their hair,
Artless in their tact and view, if it’s stupide you’d do it too!
Sincere, no can do, materialistic overview and your so shallow!
Shallow! Hollow! Yellow!
I came to tell you
Shallow! Hollow! Yellow!
You’re just so shallow!
Fathomless – you burn a hole in my mind about you.
Callousness – you’re so color blind!
Misery – you’d care what others would say about you.
Mercenary – you’d sell your soul for lies.
Lies!
Compassionless, expressionless,
Nothing touches you, you’re too careless to.
Empathise, don’t ask why,
If you’re in their shoes, then you’d know how it feels!
Same disregards, the same old façade, same selfish news of the views in your heart!

All twisted, all wrapped up in mystique
You're dreaming, you're living in a movie
Self-conscious, uncertain, so much to prove
It must seem like the whole world's watching you
Yeah, it's Hollywood inside your mind
And your life is so shallow that you spend your time
In a superficial state of mind
So confused, so confused
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna use your mind
In silence, in solitude, what do you see
Are you all you've made yourself out to be
Yeah, it's Hollywood inside your mind
And your life is so shallow that you just can't find
Any lasting happiness inside
Can they see right through you, what do they say
So wrapped up in your image, you're totally blind
I'll see you, I'll catch you some other time
Yeah, it's Hollywood inside your mind
And you try to be someone that you're not inside
I don't remember
Did something in my past create a hole?
Don't use your gender
To drive a stake right through my soul
I live to function
On my own is all I know
No friends to mention
No distraction, nowhere to go
Shallow, shallow Give it to me
Scissors cutting out your anger
Shallow, shallow No good to me, not if you bleed
Bite your tongue, ignore the splinter
This city drains me
Well maybe it's the smell of gasoline
The millions pain me
Kissing the stone wall where we once lay,
Sends me to thinking of words I'd say.
Missing your sweet lips, still so tongue-tied.
Love's a word that I could say time and time again.
Love's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain.
Dragging me over the highest wall
Holding me tightly for fear I fall.
How could I ever explain in words?
Hurt's a word that I could say time and time again.
Hurt's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain.
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Still they're true.
Singing your praises, while you're with her,
Foolishly patient for your return.
Silent you left me. And silence stays.
Pain's a word that I could say time and time again.
Pain's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain.
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Still they're true.
Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
Won't you wait and see
What I could say, what I should say, what I can say.
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Words come so quickly seem
Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow.
Disillusional thoughts
infect your view
Assets fuel your shallowed
integrity
Lost in a world of rejection
Expose the hell you cannot hide
An outcast of society
An orphan of life's reality
Retribution time will come
Sarcastic ridicule confining
I fail to perceive or
understand
You failed to maintain,
gone astray
Liquid promises drain
with your lies
Blaming others before
yourself
Forgotten disposable fool
caught in a fictional
daydream
Skeptic, unbeliever
Taking everything for granted
More in my face than is my taste
I grow so weary I'll surrender
to what they say Let them lead the way
Till' I can no longer remember
my darling dreams Prewritten scenes,
whatever felt my own
So to save face I'll take my place
Where I may safely feel alone
Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs so cold
Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs cold
Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs so cold
Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs cold
I'm quick to wait, and so to hate
They call me gracious for my patience
And I feel proud under that shroud
And all the while it's all evasion
Some humor here to fend off fear
And I'm a little more lost, oh dear
So to save face I'll hold my place
So I may safely feel alone
Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs so cold
Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs cold
Glad the waters are so shallow
When the river runs so cold
Glad the waters are so shallow
I'm here to finally take the truth out of the shadows
I couldn't care less about you or anyone at all
I swear to God you've never met someone so shallow
I go out of the way to leave you feeling small
I see that your in pain
I'm thinking that's the point
I'm here to let you down
I'm here to disappoint
I don't care about you
I don't care about
I'll keep you hooked I'll open up to you when it suits me
I'll have my fill and then I'll have you throw your life away
I'll stop and smile and pout when you see me with someone else
You'll lose it all but you still think about me everyday
I like to make new friends
I like to change my style
You think that I feel love
I think you're in denial
I don't care about you
I don't care about you
I don't care about you
I don't care about care about care about
when I'm through with you
you'll want me back
when I'm through with you
you'll want me back
when I'm through with you
you'll want me back
when i'm through with you
you'll want me
I'll make you cry yourself to sleep but you'll still want me
I'll waste your time I'll waste your life just wait and see
I'll destroy your everything, in the end you'll still want me
I'll put your soul in so much pain you wouldn't believe
I don't care about you
I don't care about you
I don't care about you
You're watching the cars,
Movies and stars
They are your lifetime
Yet all that I am is
Half what we are
Maybe some other time
I'll get it right I'll get it right
Oh sweet voice on the phone
You sound so alone
'Cause you couldn't be wasted
To you I am
I'm less than a man
That slowly changes out of phase
And I don't know why it is
It's an ever-changing simple thing
That I miss
While watching TV
Take in what you say
So you're death is painless
When all that I ever was
Returns again
I'm all that I am
And I'll get it right
When I get it right
'Cause I'll get it right
When I get it right
But I'm slowly changing out of phase
And I don't know why it is
It's an ever-changing simple thing that I know
But don't know why it is
That I'm longing for
One plus one is a funny thing
That I don't understand
If you might find an answer
Won't you let me know?
What's that?
Yeah, come again
You don't understand
All of the things that I thought true
Have turned blue and sad
If I go fallin' back
Will you call my name?
I thought you a believer
But, no, you are shallow
The absence of you at this time
Really let me know
If I go fallin' back
Will you call my name?
Chorus:
You're shallow
Gonna put you back, put you back
You're shallow
It's sad and blue
Yet, so true
Yeah, you are shallow
All of the things that I've learned from
Left a gaping hole
If I go fallin' back
Will you call my name?
You're shallow
Gonna put you back, put you back
She's in love again, oh yeah
Rise above again, oh yeah
His number's fading on her hand
And it's a day to remember
Shallow, shallow
Shallow, shallow
What an easy game to play
What a perfect thing to say
He tells her 'you're the world to me'
ÔWhy don't we dive in together'
Shallow, shallow
Shallow, shallow
Sun dies on a beautiful show
Dream on 'cause there's nowhere to go
He'll say what she's wanted to know
Over and over, forever
Shallow, shallow
All we ever had to be
You're wasting time
Time to shake and throw down
But I can't fight
You are the one to say goodbye
And when you shout my mouth is dry
Only when you try
Is your shallow water running high
You know what's inside
So glad to see
You take my hand between your knees
And once inside
I'll only take the things that shine
You always said those things were mine
You only said goodbye
When your shallow water got too high
You know what's inside
Only when you try
Because your shallow water growing high
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
Struggling to explain before you tune me out and turn away so here it is it contradicts and eats away your faith what do you wish to gain is it worth what you've given up now that you've had enough of all the nerve there's no return you won't be coming back see through see beyond don't blur the lines
You've thrown away all I've given to you
Its not much but its all I ever had
I wish that I could do more for you
And I swallow the pride that remains
I feel so shallow
when you look at me the same
All these years I swear I never knew
what it was that I ever did to you
Sorry that I look the way you feel.
I wish for it to hear you say
call me your son one of these days
I never asked that much from you
Where do we go?
Where do we begin and end this journey?
My back
My back against the wall
And my head raised high
Forward against the odds
A heavy burden
Trapped between the extremes
Coming apart at the seams
Left alone to stand on my own
You're shallow
So shallow...
Come on
Here I am above the world trying to break you down
Misguided attempt to restore the balance
Isolation from the outside world
A heavy burden
Trapped between the extremes
Coming apart at the seams
Left alone to stand on my own
You're shallow
So shallow...
Come on
Surfacing above the world in suspended animation
Surfacing above the world in suspended animation
Beaten into the ground
Coming apart at the seams
