"Temporary Insanity"
(from "Songs From Instant Star" soundtrack)



Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da

What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
Cause that's a place we've never been until now

And I don't know how it's gonna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all
Or do we fall?

My confusion shows whenever you get so close
I stumble, I stutter, forget what to say
I'm nervous, I wonder why I'm acting this way

[Chorus]
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Woah, oh, oh (insanity)
Woah, oh, oh

You made a moved and changed your mind
Too much to lose, you've crossed the line between friends
And something more

Was it all a big mistake?
And if it was, it's much too late to undo
And I don't really want to

Let you go but I still don't know
How I feel about you
What this really means
It's crazy to want you
Is it meant to be?

[Chorus]
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Woah, oh, oh (insanity)
Woah, oh, oh

Oh, what you do to me?
What comes over me, oh?
If this is crazy there's nothing I'd rather be

Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da

[Chorus]
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind

Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind

Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da

"Thank You For Breaking My Heart"


You never took my side, never let me shine, it was never the truth
Lies, lies
Let me believe that you’ll never leave
I thought I had nothing to lose
Why, why
Now here I am, singing the blues

But I wanna thank you for letting me down
Cause I won’t fall as hard the next time around
I know life isn’t fair, and you told me to suffer the scars
But I wanna thank you for breaking my heart

I let you inside
I treated you kind
I wait for you every time and time
And I should’ve known I’d be better alone
But none of it was real
I was blind, blind
Now here I am, singing the blues

But I wanna thank you for letting me down
Cause I won’t fall as hard the next time around
I know life isn’t fair, and you told me to suffer the scars
But I wanna thank you for breaking my heart

If you hadn’t left me hurting so bad
No, I’d never know how strong I am
I would be ready to meet somebody new:
A real man

But I wanna thank you for letting me down
Cause I won’t fall as hard the next time around
I know life isn’t fair, and you told me to suffer the scars
But I wanna thank you for breaking my heart

I wanna thank you for breaking my heart

"That Girl"


You said you didn't need me (but you did)
You said you didn't want me (but you do)
It's kinda like a comedy
Well first you kiss me
Then you say we're through
I say you got some issuses (yeah, you do)
Some things you gotta work through (really do)
It's sorta like a talk show, no wait a freak show
When the freak is you

[Chorus]
I'm the smoke from your fire
I'm that lie you can trust
I'm the chord on your guitar
I'm that girl you can't shut up
I'm that blood you might need
In your car when you speed
In that cigarette you breathe
You can't get rid of me

You said I wasn't funny (but you laughed)
You said I couldn't drive fast (then you crashed)
Funny how it works out
With your big mouth
You'll always get it back (ha ha ha ha)
You thought you had me worked out (you're not deep)
Mr. "I Screw About" (you're still a creep)
At best you could've confessed
That you're a big mess
And that you're so damn weak

[Chorus]
I'm the smoke from your fire
I'm that lie you can trust
I'm the chord on your guitar
I'm that girl you can't shutup
I'm the blood you might need
In your car when you speed
In that cigarette you breathe
You can't get rid of me

But still, I try and justify
Try to let this die
We'll never say goodbye I can't wait
I'll rub it in your face
Dressed in pretty lace
I'll send you home, to cry

Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha

[Chorus]
I'm the blood you might need
In your car when you speed
In that cigarette you breathe
You can't get rid of me
Yeah, yeah

Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
[repeat 2x]

Can't get rid of me

"That Pain"


Following through
Through all the people I am thinking of you
Riding the waves
And all the fancy silk I'm slipping away
Through and through

My heart
My heart
Knows me better than I know myself
Washing words clean from my mouth
That pain
That pain
Suddenly has left my brain
Raining color candy cane

So what's the point in wishing you're done?
Where does everyone have to go this time
Why we always walking the line?
Chains, stones to the ground
Nothing's there to hold you down

Whatever we do
Who we someday become
We already are that now
And if it's a dream
Stop it from waking me

My heart
My heart
Knows me better than I know myself
Washing words clean from my mouth
That pain
That pain
Suddenly has left my brain
Raining color candy cane

So what's the point in wishing you're done?
Where does everyone have to go this time?
Why we always walking the line?
Chains stones to the ground
Nothing's there to hold you down

Way out find your way out
It's the only light I'll see [x2]

My heart
My heart
Knows me better than I know myself
Washing words clean from my mouth

My heart
My heart
Knows me better than I know myself
Washing words clean from my mouth
That pain
That pain
Suddenly has left my brain
Raining color candy cane

"That Was Us"
(from "Songs From Instant Star Four" soundtrack)



I tried to change
Tried everything
Like headlights in the rain
Drifting back again

Somewhere out there gathered in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember that was us

The stars divide
Our worlds collide
Surrounded like the air
You were with my everywhere

Somewhere out there lying in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember that was us

There was a time for reason
A place for every season
Times I couldn't run away from you
I can't believe it's mourning
I can't believe it's pouring
Should I leave you here and walk away?

I want to change
Try everything
I wanted you so bad
It nearly drove me mad

Somewhere out there gathered in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember that was us

Better now than never
Better late than forever
I never meant to waste your time
It doesn't seem to matter
Maybe nothing every really matters
Long enough to break it all away

Somewhere out there gathered in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember
Sometimes I can't remember
I can't remember that was us

"The Affair (Mr. Jones)"


Mr. Jones in the middle of the door
Stepping in to step out
He's in town, he doesn't make a sound
What's this, what is this about

Ooh, I figured it out but I'm a little unsure
I can't sleep in the night
Won't ask, do I really wanna know
What Jones was doing last night

What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding
And acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go, there's he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

Fine dine, better wine then the rest
Some looks to kill
In touch, but never too much
Oh no, alone left with the bill

Black hat, Cadillac, lots of cash
Lots at stake
Quick wits got a room at The Ritz
Can't judge a man by what he makes

What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding
And acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go, there he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

Do you wanna
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Piranha, p-p-piranha
Do you wanna
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Piranha, p-p-piranha
Do you wanna
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Piranha, p-p-piranha
Do you wanna
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna Mr. Jones

What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding
And acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go, there he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding
And acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go, there he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

Do you wanna
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Piranha, p-p-piranha
Do you wanna
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Piranha, p-p-piranha

"The Breakdown"
(from "Songs From Instant Star Three" soundtrack)



[Verse 1]
It's out to get me
And It's all in my hand
It wants to take me
Time to put me to bed
Can someone wake me?
Against my own will
And get me out of here
I'm Sick of walking on the pills
I've got a weakness
So tell me where is the place?
Can someone shake me?
And get me out of this fix?
All the white walls
Are closing in tight
I need to know
If I can get through the night

It wont let me
Everybody's out to get me

[Chorus]
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh, will it ever let go
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown

[Verse 2]
All the vampires
Are out on the look
Do they see me
How long will it take
To chase the monster
That's still in my head
It's on the sea
And it needs to be fed
I have the witness
(it wont)
To what has been done
(let me)
It sorta had me
(everybodys out to)
And I think it has won
(get me)

[Chorus]
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh, that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh, will it ever let go
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown

[Bridge]
Oh break it down, break it down, and what you really want

All I've done today breakdown
Oh outta the way it's all a frown
Oh still again sit down
Oh I've done it again breakdown
Oh I've done it today breakdown
Oh outta the way it's all a frown

It won't let me
Everybody's out to get me

[Chorus]
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh, that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh, will it ever let go
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown

"The Pledge"


It's just a little thing in my pocket
I got a little bit out of control
A little fling, I'm afraid to stop it
You're the reason I like the world
A bit too much, not enough of it
I take a bit, wanna take a buy

You come tomorrow, I'll be over it
I'll be over it until tonight
I want more (she wants more)
Oh (she wants more)
I want more

I'm gettin' restless, heads a mess miss
I can't sit still, still I shake
C'mon believe us, get me out of this
I do believe I'm losing faith

I want more
(She wants more, she wants more)
I want more

So doctor, doctor help me
My hands are shaking slightly
I swear to get this out of me
I swear (you're never gonna get it out)
So doctor, numb my system
Until I'm in remission
I pledge to never miss him
I pledge (you're never gonna get it)

I got a shiver, hearts a sliver
She talkin', cheaper wise
I'm only left now believing weathermen
I'm being left here to survive
So another day, another regret
I pay it off, though I'm still in debt
Another hassle covered in tassels
I've covered everything to get him back

I want more
(She wants more, she wants more)
I want more

So doctor, doctor help me
My hands are shaking slightly
I swear to get this out of me
I swear (you're never gonna get it out)
So doctor, numb my system
Until I'm in remission
I pledge to never miss him
I pledge (you're never gonna get it)

I pledge allegiance to the world
On what's to come to any bull
Or any lies I've ever heard
I'm gonna be the strongest girl
And not allow myself to ever
Not allow myself alone
Oh no, no, you haven't heard
Oh no, I'm not gonna give in
No, never gonna give in
No, I'm never gonna give in
No, I'm never gonna give in
No, I'm never gonna give in
(No, you're never gonna give in)
(No, you're never gonna give in)
(No, you're never gonna give in)
(No, you're never gonna give in)

So doctor, doctor help me
My hands are shaking slightly
I swear to get this out of me
I swear (you're never gonna get it out)
So doctor, numb my system
Until I'm in remission
I pledge to never miss him
I pledge (you're never gonna get it)

"The Promise"


If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end, I'll always be there

And when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around, and I'll be there

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me (I promise you)
I promise, I promise you I will

When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do, gonna always be there

Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out, with no cross to bear

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me (I promise you)
I promise, I promise you I will

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if I had to walk the world, and make you fall for me (I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I will

I gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I've gotta tell you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me (I promise you)
I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if I had to walk the world, and make you fall for me (I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I will

"The Secrets You Keep"


This wasn't in the plan
But maybe I should let you know
Sometimes I need to be alone
Can you understand?

You've got a secret world
You go to when you close your eyes
And it's okay to hide
Those little parts

I don't need to know about what's livin' in your heart (If you knew why)
I don't need to be a part of anything you wanna guard (I was so quiet)
It's a magical thing, don't let anyone see (If you knew all)
Especially me, all the secrets you keep (Of the secrets)

Who you were then and what you are now (Would you still be)
No one else can see what lives deep down (Dancing with me)
It's a magical thing, don't let anyone see (If you knew all)
Especially me, all the secrets you keep (Of the secrets I keep)

I know that it's a risk
But I'm already in too deep
Don't try to get too close to me
I might not resist

I don't need to know about what's livin' in your heart (If you knew why)
I don't need to be a part of anything you wanna guard (I was so quiet)
It's a magical thing, don't let anyone see (If you knew all)
Especially me, all the secrets you keep (Of the secrets)

Who you were then and what you are now (Would you still be)
No one else can see what lives deep down (Dancing with me)
It's a magical thing, don't let anyone see (If you knew all)
Especially me, all the secrets you keep (Of the secrets I keep)

I don't need to know about what's livin' in your heart (If you knew why)
I don't need to be a part of anything you wanna guard (I was so quiet)
It's a magical thing, don't let anyone see (If you knew all)
Especially me, all the secrets you keep (Of the secrets)

Who you were then and what you are now (Would you still be)
No one else can see what lives deep down (Dancing with me)
It's a magical thing, don't let anyone see (If you knew all)
Especially me, all the secrets you keep (Of the secrets I keep)
