WONDERPOO

(original by Christina Perri, but personally I think Sam’s version is better)

I know I can’t take one more step towards you
cause all thats waiting is regret
Don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore
you lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half alive
and now you want me one more time

***
Who do you think you are? runnin’ ’round leaving scars
collecting a jar of hearts, tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me, who do you think you are?

I hear you’re asking all around, if I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong, to ever fall back in your arms
I’ve learned to live, half alive and now you want me one more time

***

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
cause you broke all your promises
and now you’re back, you don’t get to get me back

***

Who do you think you are?

Needles are piercing through my skin 
I’ll tell you the feeling, what it’s like 
If life is just all about deception 
It’s all pain, a part of the fairy tale 
But desire to play with God’s own will 
Should I trade the breath of my life for freedom? 

***
(In the rain) I’m calling you, dear
(Find a way) Can’t you see me standing right here?
(Feel my pain) Life’s bleeding from fear
(Find its place) I will give it straight from my vein

“Don’t you ever let life pass you by” 
They say as if it takes me somewhere 
Just let me swallow the faith by injection 
Let blood be rushing to my head, my love 
I’ve played with this game before 
To find a piece of my true self, I’m lost within! 

***

I.V. in my vein to feel less its pain 
Can you strip away the mystery of the world? 
I’ll let it suffer for its lie 
‘Till the shape of the shadows fades 
‘Till forever fades away 

***

I like to learn things slow 
I like learning a lot 
I like to get it all again and in the end 
You know you get what you got 

I like to mean what I say 
But it don’t always come through 
Because if I say it all again, again, again 
It doesn’t make it all true 

And the world’s like a science 
And I’m like a secret 
And I saw you lingering still, still 
I saw you lingering still 
It’s all just news to me 

Don’t really care if it hurts 
Because if I know it I won’t know it 
Then I know that it will only get worse 

He was different at first 
But then he won’t understand 
Because he’s never going to know me 
If he doesn’t want to just shake my hand
