Lyrics
Read the lyrics for the Yar's new 13 song album Bittersweet.
Bittersweet (the "feel-good" song)
You make me wanna
shoot myself
You make me wanna
noose myself
You make me wanna
be somebody else
Nothing's ever enough for you
or anybody else
chorus:
I feel good to know that
you know longer want
to be/hang around me
I feel good to know that
I'm finally free. I'm finally free.
I call you on the phone
but there's no one home
I call you on the phone
because I'm so alone
You never seem to answer
and when you do you lead me on
There's nothing real about you
so now I'm moving on
Heartbreak Heavy
I love you / You love me
so tell me why / we can't be
I know it's hard/ to make room for me
with all the other guys you see
chorus:
Heartbreak Heavy weighs on me
as I remain sadly lonely
I found you, could you find me?
So together we can finally be
With all the years / we've gone out
you think we'd have this figured out by now
But it makes me wanna scream and shout!
I'm in love with you struggling to say how
A False Sense of Happiness
A quick joy falls over me
as something new is presented factually
this something new I can't explain
But I almost feel pleasure from someone else's pain
then the happiness fades away
as guilt walks in, in a brand new way
Though I did nothing, I feel ashamed
like something happened, and I'm to blame
chorus:
This false sense of happiness
has turned into that of shame
which makes me embarassed
to even admit my name
Though I shouldn't dwell on it and become depressed
Nah, I need to move on, yeah ya know, progress
and when my happiness sinks to an all time low
I'll think more of you, ya know?
Though wish and hope and pray to be with you I may
If I'm ever with you, I'll be lifted out of my blues
More Time to Grow
If I had known then what I know now
then in high school, we would have gone out
but you are so bruised now
that you don't trust any guy, anyhow
chorus:
The reason we didn't get together long ago
was because I needed MORE TIME TO GROW!
I wish to God that I had known
Then away our love, I WOULD NOT HAVE THROWN!
But now you hold my
heart in the palm of your hand
it's so hard for me not to worry
about it becoming more damaged
Trying/Crying/Dying
I'm so sad and lonely
and it's mostly due to you
You swore that you loved me
and you know I loved you too
But now you have left me
and you told me that we're through
I try and try to win you back,
but it's clear that it's no use
chorus:
And I wish that I could STOP
Trying/Crying/Dying
Yeah I wish that I could stop
But I can't
I just wish you would let me
because honey you know I'm buying
Let me take you out on another chance
My romanticism
has been dealt a final blow
All this pain surrounds me
Empathy for all who know
I hope no one else
will make the same mistakes I've made
Falling in love
to have it stolen all away!
Ladybug and the Fly
Ladybug and the Fly
something so deadly appears benign
if around you much longer I may die
Ladybug and the fly
chorus:
You are the Ladybug. I am the fly
Eating me while I'm still alive
Your beauty engulfs me as I squirm around
I cry this aloud as you swallow me down
down, down till I make not a sound
Ladybug and the Fly
something so deadly appears benign
if around you much longer, I'm gonna die
Ladybug, can't you hear my cries?!
Be You Now
She said "be you now" and I don't care how
and she never wants to see me again
She said be you now and I know somehow
One day you'll find a worthy girlfriend
But she don't know what I know
Betrayed by sex again and again
She don't know what I know
you can't be my girl if you can't be my friend
chorus:
But we all know that she / and I could never be
For now I know / there's no one in this world for me
If I could accept this / I could move on to greater things
If only I accepted this / I'd give my life back its meaning
But now I know I can never love / Any girl who loves me
Now I know she could never love / Any boy as hopeless as me
Life is long and I am alone / desperate to rekindle youthful things
When boys and girls, love and sex / were worthless things of which to sing
Make me a kid again / So I can go outside and play
Make me a kid again / So I can play around all day
Make me a kid again / So I can forget these things
Make me a kid again / So I don't worry about anything
Dead and Buried
I don't really care what people may say of me
Questioning my emotional stability
and I'm not concerned with my failed relationships
They're buried in the past
and that's where they should be
chorus:
I don't care about me... yeah!
and I sure as hell don't care about you
I don't care about me... yeah!
Or all the shit you put me through
I really don't care anymore
about a stupid, lying, cheating whore
And I'm gonna feel a whole lot better
when you're dead and buried into the ground
I have been blessed with newfound apathy
Could hardly ask for more to be happy
Now I'm not concerned with old memories
They've faded into the black
and that's where they should be
That's what I do to help me get by
I pretend long ago, you already died
But I really don't mind
You're better off dead anyway
It's sad to think
Your whole life's been a lie!
[the importance of] Spark
No spark exists / the lightbulb grows dim
Electricity between but nothing within
the light she displays is not everlasting
Gone as old leaves blown in the wind
The presense of spark is what keeps it enticing
logical dictation is never exciting
but no flame can last without proper fodder
what good is a cake with only the icing?
Rain on Suede
chorus:
You are the rain that falls on my suede
Ruin me though I know
that you mean no harm
Though you mean no harm
You ruin me just the same
But I guess I'll live to see another day
I can't stay out of the rain
though it ruins my suede
I can't stay out of the rain
because I love you so
You're ruining my coat
but it'll see another day
as long as you're here
I'll enjoy the rain
Gimme What I Want
Gimme what I want
Gimme what I need
Gimme what I want
Give yourself to me
Independent of suggestions made sexually
I just want you to be with me
chorus:
So tell me what it is you want from me
I'd gladly give it if I knew what it'd be
tell me what it is you want from me
so you and me together can finally be
Can't get you out my head
Can't get you out my mind
Can't get you out my head
You're there all the time
Still haven't found a way to make you mine
Get out of my head!
Get out of my mind!
Won't give you what you want
Won't give you what you need
I won't be fodder for your disease
Hope you like me for more than just a good tease
Just want you to be you and me to be me
Strange Attraction (your mother is rude)
chorus:
I don't know why
I have this strange attraction to you
You piss me off
and your mother is rude
instead of dating me
You date that loser dude
Yet I'm still
Attracted to you
We're going to the prom but only as friends
because you've got a loser boyfriend
I asked you out when you weren't going out with him
But now it seems that you're back together again
You're easily offended / Yet so am I
But I never got mad at someone
for mispronouncing my grandmother's name
Maybe you should let sleeping dogs lie
But for you that'd mean you lost the game
And you never lose anything anyway
Whenever I get remotely close to you
You start to talk about your boyfriend
as if that's the only reason your with him
Knowing you it probably is
In your mind I bet it makes sense
But to me it hardly seems worth it
Cinderella's Simple Grievance
Everyone's elated
I'm devastated
While they're all laughing
I feel so hated
Wasting my days
watching life slip on by
It'd be a real shame
if I don't live before I die
chorus:
Everyone is smiling
I sit here sighing
Sighing at what has become
If there's a way from this misery
Please tell me before I'm gone
Everyone is smiling
Their faces aren't lying
While they're at their parties
I'm trapped here dying
Wasting my days
watching life slip on by
It'd be a real shame
if I don't live before I die
