Take It Out On Me (Album: "Platinum" (2014)) (MIRANDA LAMBERT LYRICS)

.

.

These are the last words that I'll say to you
You know damn well what brought it on
I can't believe I've been a silly fool
To let it go on this long

You never let life get you down
'Cause every single time
You take it out on me

You kick and scream your dyin' love for me
Well, you don't win love in a fight
The place you really need some victory
Is by yourself alone at night

I left my picture on the bed
So someone could be right
Take it out on me

Take it out on me
Or better still, you could
Take it out on the passenger seat
Where I used to be

I'm washing my hands clean
'Cause that's what you need
Take it out on me

You treated me like I was second hand
Somehow I always caught the blame
You'll never guess what I've been catchin' now
A better man with a better name

You're left out in the rain again
You can walk home in my shoes
Take it out on me

Ooh, take it out on me
Or better still, you could
Take it out on the passenger seat
Where I used to be

I'm washing my hands clean
'Cause that's what you need
Take it out on me

Ooh, take it out on me
Or better still, you could
Take it out on the passenger seat
Where I used to be

I'm washing my hands clean
'Cause that's what you need
Take it out on me

Take it out on me

Bathroom Sink (Album: "Platinum" (2014)) (MIRANDA LAMBERT LYRICS)

.

.

Puttin� on my makeup
Puttin� off the hard stuff
Hoping that it passes
Fake smile & eyelashes
I wash my hands and try not to think
Or dirty up my bathroom sink

I�m at it again with mama
Everybody�s so tired of the drama
Were still fighting like I�m sixteen
And I guess we always will be
She taught me how to pray and drink
And how to clean the bathroom sink

[CHORUS:]
It's amazing, the amount of rejection
That I see in my reflection
And I cant get out of the way
I'm lookin� forward to the girl I wanna be
But regret has got a way of staring me right in the face
So I try not to waste too much time
At the bathroom sink

It all gets complicated
And sometimes overrated
Glamour at its finest
Just means someone�s hidin�
From their own reality
And the mirror at their bathroom sink

[CHORUS]

I pray as I get ready
Forgot to make me steady
And I thank him for his patience
And I take my medication
And bless this day and all it brings
And I clean up the bathroom sink

Run Daddy Run (feat. Pistol Annies) (Album: "Platinum" (2014)) (MIRANDA LAMBERT LYRICS)

.

.

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.

All the songs you used to sing to me
Would rock birds to sleep
I need you now so please somehow
Put rockets on your feet

Oh oh oh oh

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.

Saw that dark cloud coming from a million miles away.
Oh how I've dreaded this God forsaken day.

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.

Mama's been crying in the kitchen
Sister's been afraid of the dark.
I've been gathering the pieces of all these shattered hearts.
And I don't care where you go to
And I don't care where you land
But just get out of there daddy as fast as you can

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.

Run Daddy run, run daddy run.
Run Daddy run, run daddy run.

Ripped Away Featuring Nilu Madadi (Album: "Heart Flip" (2012)) (THIS WILD LIFE LYRICS)

.

.

Was I lying right through my teeth
when I said I was trustworthy
I said I�d never ever live this way
I�m turning into everything I hate

Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough
Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough

Well is it all slipping away from me
I can�t be anything you want me to be
All, ripped away from me
I can�t be anything you want me to be
My heart is heavy and it keeps me to the ground
My eyes are swollen cause I can�t have you around
All ripped away from me,
I can�t be anything you want me to be

I didn�t have the strength to just come clean
Feeling weak and hurt it seems
That I can never look you in the face
Don�t have the spine to go to your place

Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough
Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough

Well is it all slipping away from me
I can�t be anything you want me to be
All, ripped away from me
I can�t be anything you want me to be
My heart is heavy and it keeps me to the ground
My eyes are swollen cause I can�t have you around
All ripped away from me,
I can�t be anything you want me to be

What can I do? What can I say?
After all I pushed you away
If you ever forgive me now it would be too soon
What can I do? What can I say?
After all I pushed you away
If you ever forgive me now it would be too soon

Well is it all slipping away from me
Well is it all ripped away from me

Well is it all slipping away from me
I can�t be anything you want me to be
All, ripped away from me
I can�t be anything you want me to be
My heart is heavy and it keeps me to the ground
My eyes are swollen cause I can�t have you around
All ripped away from me,
I can�t be anything you want me to be

I can�t be anything you want me to be
I can�t be anything you want me to be
I can�t be anything you want me to be
I can�t be anything you want me to be

Even The Dead Have Their Tasks (Album: "How We Both Wondrously Perish" (2014)) (BEING AS AN OCEAN LYRICS)

.

.

We pack up our gear
And we're gone again
Driven by passion, outward
Away from family and friends
But what they can't see
Is that every day I'm drowning in a sea
Of faces that I miss so desperately
With each flashing countenance
A torrent of emotion, joy, and memories
The people I've grown to love so deeply
Throughout the years
I've chosen a big family
And the weight of their absence
Has brought me more than once to tears
I wake from sleep violently
Only to witness those lives and faces
Disappear slowly behind me
(I'm drowning)
Again I'm pulled back into deep waters
Washed further away from my sisters and brothers
Am I truly living a dream
When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?

How am I to stay the course, to remain bold
When all those my heart longs for
Remain firmly anchored at home
Am I truly living a dream
When the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?

With every "it's-been-awhile" embrace
I wish it could last an eternity
Silently praying for the courage to say
"Oh G-d, how I've missed you!
I've seen you in my sleep!
We were laughing, crying, joking
You know, the way it used to be
Back when we younger and all that much more free
I just hope you see that nothing's changed between you and me
No matter the time we've spent apart
I know it's not always easy to show it
But please believe that I carried you in my heart
That you were with me through every mile
I could have sworn I saw your phantom standing in the aisle!"

It seems you already know what I'm thinking
And that, even after all this time
Some things still do go without saying

We savored the taste of our sweet youth
And now, with calloused hands, gather the remaining fruit
To go any farther, we must endure further pains
Skinned, mashed, and finally strained
Fermenting in the time spent away
Only to return with a fine vintage
To cheers to the health of those who stayed
