Hopeless Romantic (2017)




















Best You Ever lyrics - Michelle Branch

Dearest lover, read this letter
I can't pretend I'm still in love
If my lips could say it better
I'd still be there when you wake up

We used to be for real
But now you make me feel
Like I'll never be enough
You turned me on, then turned me off, oh

I want you to remember me
Every time you scream it's the best you ever
I want you to remember me
In a lucid dream as the best you ever
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa

I hope you can find someone who will
Satisfy you like I did
Do all the stupid little things that
Never are as obvious

And all the things you miss
I seal 'em with a kiss
But I can't sign sincerely yours
I never was, I've never been

I want you to remember me
Every time you scream it's the best you ever
I want you to remember me
In a lucid dream as the best you ever
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Best you ever

I've been wondering why
I tried so hard to win your love
I'm giving up
I don't wanna waste any more time
So goodbye

I want you to remember me
Every time you scream it's the best you ever
I want you to remember me
In a lucid dream as the best you ever
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa

I want you to remember me
I want you to remember me
Best you ever

You're Good lyrics - Michelle Branch

Nobody knows me better
You've got a way
Yeah you know you do
You say it'll be forever
I'm gonna believe 'cause I know it's true

Everybody tells me that you're not enough
They don't understand you like I do
They'll never change their minds because they're not in love, not in love
They'll never know
They're not in love with you

I know the way you feel in the dark
Move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
And I know you're good

Everybody tells me that you're not enough
They don't understand you like I do
They'll never change their minds because they're not in love, not in love
They'll never know
They're not in love with you

I know the way you feel in the dark
Move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
And I know you're good

I know the way you feel in the dark
Move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
I know the way you feel in the dark
You move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
And I know you're good

Fault Line lyrics - Michelle Branch

I feel safe when we are standing in the wreckage
Are we hopeless pulled in opposite directions
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer
You start to pull me under when I try to keep my head above the water

Tremble and shake
We can't rewrite all our mistakes
Lovers on a fault line
The things we say
When we're both right
We ricochet, lovers on a fault line
And we both know
You and I will never change
But we're holding on until we feel it break
It's too late to be the first to walk away
When we're lovers on a fault line

You kissed me too hard
I thought you had the best intentions
You took it too far
Always desperate for attention
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer
You start to pull me under when I try to keep my head above the water

Tremble and shake
We can't rewrite all our mistakes
Lovers on a fault line
The things we say
When we're both right
We ricochet, lovers on a fault line
And we both know
You and I will never change
But we're holding on until we feel it break
It's too late to be the first to walk away
When we're lovers on a fault line

I'm scared that I am drowning in an open sea
You're standing on the shore not even noticing
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer

Tremble and shake
We can't rewrite all our mistakes
Lovers on a fault line
The things we say
When we're both right
We ricochet, lovers on a fault line
And we both know
You and I will never change
But we're holding on until we feel it break
It's too late to be the first to walk away
When we're lovers on a fault line

I feel safe when we are standing in the wreckage

Heartbreak Now lyrics - Michelle Branch

You're my one obsession
You're my daydream in the afternoon
It's my great depression
I love knowing that I can't have you, oh

The things I should be running from
I never seem to get enough

Ready for the heartbreak now
Got me spinning out of control
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Cause you can't help who you love
I'm lonely all over again
Lonely all over again
No, you can't help who you love

Opposite attraction
Pull me like a magnet into you
Cause a chain reaction
Hold me down so I can't make a move, woah

The things I should be running from
I never seem to get enough

Ready for the heartbreak now
Got me spinning out of control
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Cause you can't help who you love
I'm lonely all over again
Lonely all over again
No, you can't help who you love

Only you know how to set me off
I never seem to get enough

Ready for the heartbreak now
Got me spinning out of control
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Cause you can't help who you love
I'm lonely all over again
Lonely all over again
No, you can't help who you love
Woah, no you can't help who you love
No, you can't help who you love

Hopeless Romantic lyrics - Michelle Branch

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life

You got me on my knees, you got me crawling
But love is always better when you're falling
Everything is dangerous when it's just the two of us
Jumping in over our heads

Never satisfied
I never wanna close my eyes
Now I can sleep at night
But I'm never sleeping

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life
Honey, I don't understand it
Cause it's magic, but it's tragic
I know you're gonna eat me alive
You're gonna eat me alive

Underneath the sheets I feel so wanted
You're the mystery that I am solving
Everything is dangerous when it's just the two of us
Jumping in over our heads

Now I toss and turn
Now I only toss and turn
When will I ever learn?
Boy, I never listen

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life
Honey, I don't understand it
Cause it's magic, but it's tragic
I know you're gonna eat me alive
You're gonna eat me alive

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life
Honey, I don't understand it
Cause it's magic, but it's tragic
I know you're gonna eat me alive
You're gonna eat me alive

Living A Lie lyrics - Michelle Branch

People tell you what you want
They tell you what you want to hear
You better get your story straight
You better get your answer clear

You're such a simple boy
You threw it all away
You're just a big mistake
I wanna tell you to your face

Honey you're high
Been begging all night
You've done it before
Now you blame it on me
I'm losing my sleep
Can't take it no more

'Cause you're living in a lie
Everyone will realize
That you're living in a lie
Even when you close your eyes

But you do it to yourself
You only do it to yourself
Running off your dirty mouth
Showing off your dirty ways

Stupid little girl
This isn't all a game
Look me in the eye
Say it to my face

Honey you're high
Been begging all night
You've done it before
Now you blame it on me
I'm losing my sleep
Can't take it no more

'Cause you're living in a lie
Everyone will realize
That you're living in a lie
Even when you close your eyes
'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause you're living in a lie

You can break
You can shake
You can say what you want
Watch me walk away, walk away
Watch me walk away, walk away

'Cause you're living in a lie
Everyone will realize
That you're living in a lie
Even when you close your eyes
'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause people tell you what you want

'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause people tell you what you want

'Cause you're living in a lie

Knock Yourself Out lyrics - Michelle Branch

Here we are, we are waiting for life to begin
And I'm just so bored of innocence
And everyone is busy making plans
Go ahead, knock yourself out

I'm heading out of here to who knows where
Maybe I'll write a song and someone will listen
Is that enough to make me happy?
Well, I won't know until I get there

I keep talking, but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am

In the dark I can feel the weight of the world
Pushing down on top of my shoulders
You think you're strong enough to carry it all?
Go ahead, knock yourself out

I keep talking, but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am

I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there
I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there

I keep talking, but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am

And I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there

Temporary Feeling lyrics - Michelle Branch

Strange how a stranger knows you better
Than you ever knew yourself
You're a lover and a dancer
But you need somebody else
Now you're taking off your clothes
I bet you never fell this fast before
And I'm just seeing where this goes

It's just a temporary feeling
I'm gonna have to let you go
I'm gonna love you like I mean it
And I don't need to take it slow
It's just a temporary feeling
So I don't need to take it slow

Strange how sincerely we can lead each
Other into something deep
For a minute we're both in it
It's so mutual how we deceive
Now you're taking off my clothes
And I've never felt like this before
You're just seeing where this goes

It's just a temporary feeling
I'm gonna have to let you go
I'm gonna love you like I mean it
So I don't need to take it slow

You think it's only physical
Until we make it chemical
Guess we're not immune to love
When it's just the two of us

It's just a temporary feeling
I'm gonna have to let you go
I'm gonna love you like I mean it
So I need to take it slow
It's just a temporary feeling
And I don't need to take it slow

Carry Me Home lyrics - Michelle Branch

Running into you is the strangest thing
I never noticed how you look at me
I feel so funny asking "how you've been?"
I hear you're living in the city
Growing up is really make believe
They never told us 1983
These 16mm memories
And got us falling in slow motion

You make me feel like I've had too much to drink
The room is spinning and I trip on my feet
I'm seeing double, saying things I don't mean
Just had a taste, I'm already wasted

And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning, under sheets and shadows
I think I love you, but what do I know?

You make me feel like I've had too much to drink
The room is spinning and I trip on my feet
I'm seeing double, saying things I don't mean
Just had a taste, I'm already wasted

And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning, under sheets and shadows
I think I love you, but what do I know?

And I've been sitting second guessing all alone
I guess you know you'll never find it if you want it
And you've been standing right in front all along
Yeah, you've been standing right in front of me all along

And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning under sheets and shadows
I think I love you
And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning under sheets and shadows
I think I love you, what the hell do I know?
Carry me, carry me
Carry me, carry me home

Not A Love Song lyrics - Michelle Branch

You were my first ever
I wish we'd never met
You drink to feel better
I'm drinking to forget

My heart is hungover
Roll over in my bed
I need something stronger
So I can breathe again

Remember when you said, "Together, forever?"
Whatever

You're not even good enough for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio, I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh no
This isn't your love song
Oh oh oh
Said this isn't your love song

I'm not bitter
I'm not sorry
I'm not even heartbroken
Cause I knew when we started
That it would have to end

Remember when you said, "Together, forever?"
Whatever

You're not even good enough for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh no
This isn't your love song
Oh oh oh
Said this isn't your love song

Long nights, cheap wine
I cry but never about you
It's slurred but I've got the last word
Long nights, more wine
I lied, I do think about you
It hurts, but I've got the last word

You're not even good enough for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio, I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh
No, this isn't your love song
Oh, here we come now, for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio, I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh oh
No, this isn't your love song
I said no, this isn't your love song
Yeah, this isn't your love song

Last Night lyrics - Michelle Branch

Tell me where it hurts and I'll fix you up
If I am yours then say you're mine
I'll do anything that you ask me
For you I'd die

My heart cries out
I can't live without you
I can't go on without you
So scream out loud
Say that you want me
The way I want you

We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)
We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)

It makes a body cold when you're lonely
To want someone so much you cry
Crawl on hands and knees for you baby
I'd even lie

My heart cries out
I can't live without you
I can't go on without you
So scream out loud
Say that you want me
The way I want you

We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)
We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)

I wonder where you go when you close your eyes
It drives me crazy 'cause I'll never know
And I just wanna feel how you feel inside
Inside

We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)
We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time

Bad Side lyrics - Michelle Branch

I can't help myself
I never learn
You put me through hell
But I like the burn
I turn my love into electricity
So you can feel how it feels inside of me

When we get low
We get high
Let your demons play with mine
Let your demons play with mine
When it feels like it's wrong
Then it's right
You tell yourself a lie
And believe it every time

'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you

I put my breath
Into the breeze
I send it to you
Over the seas
And I'm haunting you
While you're asleep
Making you dream only of me

When we get low
We get high
Let your demons play with mine
Let your demons play with mine
When it feels like it's wrong
Then it's right
You tell yourself a lie
And believe it every time

'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you

You feel warmer than a gun
Pointed right at me
Heavy like the drums
'Cause we define insanity
Slowly going numb from staring at the sun

'Cause when we get low
We get high
Let your demons play with mine
Let your demons play with mine
When it feels like it's wrong
Then it's right
You tell yourself a lie
And believe it every time

Baby, it's not good when I'm with you
I put up with the hell you drag me through
I'll do anything you want me to
Because I like the bad inside of you

'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you

Shadow lyrics - Michelle Branch

I should have known
I saw the look on your face
You're a book and I have memorized every page
You can say what you want
Cry on my shoulder
You're telling lies to yourself
Over and over

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

Look how the stars are suspended in space
You can try to explain as you're losing your faith
And you can search all you want
Find all the answers
You fell in love with a girl
That's all that matters

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

And now I know I've been here before
I'm sure we've been wanting more
I know its déjà-vu for sure
I know

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

City lyrics - Michelle Branch

I don't know what it is about this city
Every road I walk down I discover
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
I never had in me
I guess you knew it all along
That somewhere down the darkest alley is a heartbeat
Is a heartbeat
You remind me
And I swear that I am walking through a daydream
Hear your heartbeat
That's where you're gonna find me

Every shape and transatlantic color wrap around me
I've discovered that I just want to get as far as I can run to From the sun in California
I don't know how the west is ever gonna win me
Once I'm breathing in the water
I'm gonna drown out every sentimental memory
Find the courage to start over

Oh I know there's got to be a reason
'Cause I'm always running from my life
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
But I don't know what it is about this city

Miles away someone I know is sleeping
In a bedroom by the window
I guess I've always been afraid that I would miss out
And get blown out like a candle
And I don't know what it is about this city
Every road I walk down I discover
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
I never had in me
And it's raining here in London

Oh I know there's got to be a reason
'Cause I'm always running from my life
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
But I don't know what it is about this city
