Pretty in Pain
By Chris Wagner
Another day
One you didn't want to face
The same old thing, same tired mistakes
And you don't know why you have to choose
When either way, you're gonna lose
You talk too much, and say so little
All your words are always riddled with doubt
I don't know how you'll ever change
You're just too pretty in pain
You can't deny
That they cut both ways
Those pretty lies, you tell to save some face
The truth you don't know how to start
Then everything just falls apart
You talk too much, and say so little
All your words are always riddled with doubt
I don't know how you'll ever change
And you dream of love, it seems too scary
When your whole life's one big Hail Mary
Now I know you're happier this way
You're just too pretty in pain
You feel, so ashamed
But you won't walk away

Almost Glad To See You
By Chris Wagner
Tonight
I was almost glad to see you
Tonight
Made me almost want to be with you
But there was nothing in your lie
That would keep me here tonight
But tonight, I was almost glad to see you
Today
The sun still rose without you
Today
Just confirmed my doubts about you
And there was nothing you could say
That would change my mind anyway
And today, just confirmed my doubts about you
I don’t know why I stayed
Or what I hoped to find
I know it’s useless ‘cause
I don’t even want to try
But there was nothing in your lie
That would keep me here tonight
But tonight, I was almost glad to see you
Yeah tonight, I was almost glad to see you
Oh tonight, yeah, you know I was glad to see you

Falling Down
By Chris Wagner
This time around, I couldn’t shake it off
I didn’t know just what to do
The truth was all I was asking for
But it never came from you
That’s when lies become
The one thing we know we can count on
I’m falling down
You set me up, then you set me off
Waiting for me to react
Then you sit back and watch my world collapse
While you just laugh it off
That’s when lies become
The one thing we can believe in
I’m falling down
I'm falling

Strung Out
By Chris Wagner
It’s been seven hours since I left you there
Pretending that I didn’t care
Pretending that it didn’t even matter
Now all I can do is think of you
And I don’t know why I put you through
The things I do, and why you even bother
You say, you don’t know
And I can’t let go
‘Cause I don’t want to be over
Coming down
I can’t take it now
I don’t know what I should do
You’ve got me so strung out on you
I’ve been holding on for far too long
I know you know that I was wrong
And I don’t know why I do the things I do
Now I’m sitting wishing that you’ll call
I don’t know why you would at all
But if you do, I’ll promise you the world
Coming down
I can’t take it now
And I don’t know what I should do
You’ve got me so strung out on you
It’s been seven hours since I left you there
Pretending that I didn’t care
Now I just don’t know what it is I’m doing
Please say,
We’re not over
Coming down
I can’t take it now
And I don’t know what I should do
You’ve got me so strung out on you

Maybe Tonight
By Chris Wagner
You could call it love
If you wanted to
This thing that once was us
Is now just me and you
I don’t know why you always look away
There’s so much that I need to say
To you
Are we just holding on?
Are we just living lies?
We can’t say it’s all wrong
But we know it’s never right
Do you remember when you’d smile at me
It seemed to come so easily
One time
And maybe tonight something’s missing
Maybe you don’t like the way that I stare
And maybe I’m wishing that I’m wanted
By you all right, maybe tonight
Now you could call it love
If you wanted to
When kisses become shoves
When it’s all just who hurt who
Why can’t we just go and try to be
The way we always used to be
Oh why?
And maybe tonight something’s missing
Maybe you don’t like the way that I stare
And maybe I’m wishing that I’m wanted
By you all right, maybe tonight
Well it’s coming down to
Are you coming around….
And maybe tonight nothing’s missing
Maybe you do like the way that I stare
And maybe I’m knowing that I’m wanted
By you all right, maybe tonight

So Hollywood

So Hollywood
By Chris Wagner
She says she don’t know much
Past Melrose in Hollywood
That’s where all the pretty boys are playing
That’s where the getting’s good
She’s been telling me
She’d get out if she could
All the pretty girls keep saying
They know that she never would
She’s so Hollywood
Waiting for it all to come her way
She’s so Hollywood
She just wants a chance to throw it all away
She’s keeps saying
She’ll do anything it takes
But then she’s lying on her back, guess
She'd never meant it that way
She keeps going down
Says it’s worth the price of fame
And all the pretty girls keep praying
She’ll be all used up someday
She’s so Hollywood
Waiting for it all to come her way
She’s so Hollywood
She just wants another chance to make it
Given any kind of chance she’ll take it
She just wants it all
Well the night is spinning faster
And all the L.A. hipster-trash is on the make
They just come and then they go
And she don’t know how much more she can take
She’s so Hollywood
Waiting for it all to come her way
She’s so Hollywood
She just wants another chance to throw it all away
