It's so easy to deceive
When you've spent so long believing.
And it's not hard to fake a smile
When that's the best you've ever known.
And it's so easy to walk beside yourself
When you're the only one who's listening.
You grow comfortable to being all alone.
It's been so long,
And you didn't wait for me.
But I was much more strong
Than I ever thought I'd be.
You pushed me to ground,
And, Baby, I'm still crawling.
But I'll find a way to get up some time, somehow.
I don't need you.
I don't need anyone else.
The face inside the mirror,
Isn't one that you know well.
But it's the one that you've been seeing,
And it's getting too close to tell.
Every scar and broken heart
Is just one more reminder
That you lost her once, and now it's time to go and find her.
I don't know who I am,
And I don't know why I'm crying.
My eyes have never been this red.
I've spent all these years trying to forget.
But it's never been that easy.
I just need someone to try to help but not try to fix me.
It's been so long,
And you didn't wait for me.
But I was much more strong
Than you said I'd ever be.
You kicked me while I was down,
And, Baby, I'm still crawling.
But I'll find a way to get up some time, somehow.
I don't need you.
I don't need anyone else.
I need to find myself.
All those things that you said when you left
Haven't left my mind.
I think about you all the time.
I've been so down for a while.
But I know,
I'm getting better all the time.
I just need to somebody to love me all the time.
But it's got to be me this time.
It's been so long.
You never wait for me.
But I am much more strong
Than I thought I'd ever be.
I've been kicked to the ground,
And, Lord, I'm still kneeling.
But I'll find a way to get up some time, right now.
I don't need you.
I don't need anyone else.
I need to find myself.
(x2)
I don't need you
And I don't need anyone else.
I just need to find myself.

Half As Good
Don't flatter yourself, now, Sugar.
'Cause that ain't my intention.
Don't view me as your competition.
'Cause I don't need the tension.
Don't try to raise no questions.
'Cause I'm not here to listen.
Don't roll your eyes at me, Sweetheart.
'Cause I'm not here to miss him.
I'm just tryin' to drink what's in my hand.
I'm not the kind to cry about a man.
But I don't know what stories he's been telling you,
But I got a couple of them I'd like to say to you.
You're not as lucky as you think you are.
You haven't seen his slate grey heart.
And he probably wrote me off as his crazy ex,
But, Honey, I only did my best
And did what I could.
And when it comes to down to it,
You'll never be half as good.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
There was a day when I'd have given anything--
What was I thinking?--
Anything to win his love.
But I was always shit out of my luck.
A new girl, every day.
Now, I'm not trying to scare you out of anything.
But I just don't see anything changing.
I don't know what stories he's been telling you,
But I got a couple of them I'd like to say to you.
You're not as lucky as you think you are.
You haven't seen his slate grey heart.
And he probably wrote me off as his crazy ex,
But, Honey, I only did my best
And did what I could.
And when it comes down to it,
You'll never be half as good.
I didn't like his games, but I kept on playin'.
And he's never gonna find a girl where he can say the same thing.
I didn't like his music, and I didn't like his dog.
But the best thing he's ever gonna see is gone.
I don't what stories he's been telling you,
But I got a couple of them I'd like to say to you.
You're not as lucky as you think you are.
He's never ripped you right apart.
And he probably wrote me off as his crazy ex,
But, Honey, I only did my best
And did what I could.
And when it comes down to it,
You'll never be half as good.
Don't flatter yourself now, Sugar.

Summer Saturday
The sun is beating down on your sun-tanned skin.
I see you out the corner of my eye.
You say you knew that this would happen,
You just didn't know when.
Baby, it's right now.
And you're blowing my mind.
Hook, line, and sinker--
Boy, you got me good.
But I never had a doubt,
I knew you could.
So thread another line and cast another reel,
And let me tell you how I really feel.
Fishin' turned into more than just a summer Saturday.
I don't know how you did it, but you're getting to me.
Don't know how you did it, never felt this way.
And wishin' turned into more than just a little someday,
Prayin' maybe on a summer day.
Don't know how you did it, never felt this way.
And we were just fishin' on a summer Saturday.
The sun is going down on my snow white skin,
And you're lookin' at me with your devilish grin.
I'm thinkin' it's just about time that we jumped in, yeah.
So grab another beer and open up the top.
Let's lay here with each 'til we both doze off.
When we wake up in the morning,
We can do it all again.
Fishin' turned into more than just a summer Saturday.
I don't know how you did it, but you're getting to me.
Don't know how you did it, never felt this way.
And wishin' turned into more than just a little someday,
Prayin' maybe on a summer day.
Don't know how you did it, never felt this way.
And we were just fishin' on a summer Saturday.
You were laughing at me because I wouldn't bait that hook.
And I'm laughing at you because I always said you'd never win me over with that look.
But fishin' turned into more than just a summer Saturday.
I don't know how you did it, but you're getting to me.
Don't know how you did it, never felt this way.
And wishin' turned into more than just a little someday,
Prayin' maybe on a summer day.
Don't know how you did it, never felt this way.
And we were just fishin' on a summer Saturday.
I don't know how you won me over, but you did today.
And we were just fishin' on a summer Saturday.
I see you out the corner of my eye.
You say you knew that this would happen,
You just didn't know when.
Baby, it's right now.
