Mia Zepeda: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

You drive me to become passive aggressively snide
But I know you must like it
I know you look forward to such a tumultuous ride
And I can't slow things down as we're full speed ahead
On our way to tragically preventable doom
But I know that even though disaster may loom
I could stay in your heart if you'd only make room

You drive me to behave
like the victim I'm not for the things that I crave
The way that you say things, how they roll of your tongue
Tastes exactly the same as when I was dumb and young
So hey, why the hell not?
Let's do everything wrong...
write the damage off as fodder for set of inspired songs
That I wouldn't be writing had you only not come along

again

So go on, be cruel
Be a tease, I dare you to wink till your eyeball falls out of your head
The girl you once knew who kept falling is through
I've got better things to do than you
So please let me choose a chance at happiness instead

You drive me to become this pitiful soul that I don't recognize
And the things that come out of my mouth in your company
always strike me as an appalling surprise
It's time I took my dignity off the shelf
And I'm long past due reclaiming my sense of self

So go on, be cruel
Be a tease, I dare you to wink till your eyeball falls out of your head
The girl you once knew who kept falling is through
I've got better things to do than you
So please let me choose a chance at happiness instead

You drive me to obsession
but you've made it quite clear that your not my possession
But that your intentions lie somewhere else
with some poor other fool, some one other than myself
But still you wink like a cad
as if you still had my affection
that you've been accustomed to getting for free

So go on, be cruel
Be a tease, I dare you to wink till your eyeball falls out of your head
The girl you once knew who kept falling is through
I've got better things to do than you
So please let me choose a chance at happiness instead
