Brandi M. Carlile (born June 1, 1981) is an American alternative country and folk rock singer-songwriter. She has released six albums including The Story, Give Up the Ghost and Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony, the last reaching number 14 on the Top Rock Albums chart. Her first commercial album, Brandi Carlile, was released to critical acclaim and limited commercial success. Her 2007 single The Story, from the album of the same name, was a greater commercial success, and was used by General Motors for commercials. Carlile's latest album The Firewatcher's Daughter garnered her further acclaim and a Grammy Award nomination.
Carlile's music through the years has been categorized in several genres, including pop, rock, alternative country, and folk. Carlile said of her style, "I've gone through all sorts of vocal phases, from pop to blues to R&B, but no matter what I do, I just can't get the country and western out of my voice."
As we stand before the judge, it's over now
Can't even get my name and go on somehow
It’s my time to sign on the dotted line
The spark came in my head before the ink dried
I'm getting up my (Damn)
Knowing I don't give a damn for this single life
Eleven months with you, I'm tripping cause it's through
I'm standing here looking at you
Bridge:
There ain’t no more, ghetto love
No more, breaking up
No more, making up
No more, waking you up
No more, things you hate
No more, holidays
No more, need to celebrate
No more, goodnight baby
Chorus:
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
I don't want the house, I'm moving out
Can't stand staying here without you around
All of the cars, I will sell them but just one, I will mail them
And as for the kids, I get weekends
Baby I ain't even mad, I wish you well
And I'll be wrong to tell you to go to hell
Cause you're still the one I love, we're just giving up
Guess it's best for us, can't help how it hurts
Bridge:
There ain't no more honey combs
No more, Oprah's on
No more, Looney Tunes
No more, Southpark with you
No more, the phone's for me
No more, did the doorbell ring
No more, can you come get me
No more, there's no more baby
Chorus:
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
And if this is divorce, I don't want a war
I don't want to fight with you no more
Take everything, you can have everything
Material things, your last
Chorus: (x4)
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
