Go away bitter memory
I feel finally you stay away from me
But I was wrong, you're still strong
Go away bitter memory

You keep on botherin' me
Why won't you let me be
You made my cry, why won't you die
Go away bitter memory

Well bitter memory you're a thorn in my side
Bitter memory you're the trouble on my mind
Find a new place to call home, you're not welcome anymore
Let me show you to the door bitter memory

Go away bitter memory

Leave me alone let me live on
Go away bitter memory

And quit constantly interrupting me
Don't come around you lonesome sound

"Blessed"

"Blessed"


We were blessed by the minister
Who practiced what he preached
We were blessed by the poor man
Who said heaven is within reach
We were blessed by the girl selling roses
Showed us how to live
We were blessed by the neglected child
Who knew how to forgive
We were blessed by the battered woman
Who didn't seek revenge
We were blessed by the warrior
Who didn't need to win
We were blessed by the blind man
Who could see for miles and miles
We were blessed by the fighter
Who didn't fight for the prize

We were blessed by the mother
Who gave up the child
We were blessed by the soldier
Who gave up his life
We were blessed by the teacher
Who didn't have a degree
We were blessed by the prisoner
Who knew how to be free
We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed

We were blessed by the mystic
Who turned water into wine
We were blessed by the watchmaker
Who gave up his time
We were blessed by the wounded man
Who felt no pain
By the wayfaring stranger
Who knew our names
We were blessed by the homeless man
Who showed us the way home
We were blessed by the hungry man
Who filled us with love
By the little innocent baby
Who taught us the truth
We were blessed by the forlorn
Forsaken and abused

We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
Mmm, we were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
We were blessed

"Blue"

"Blue"


Go find a jukebox and see what a quarter will do
I don't wanna talk I just wanna go back to blue
Feed's me when I'm hungry and quenches my thirst
Loves me when I'm lonely and thinks of me first
Blue is the color of night
When the red sun
Disappears from the sky
Raven feathers shiny and black
A touch of blue glistening down her back
We don't talk about heaven and we don't talk about hell
We come to depend on one another so damn well
So go to confession whatever gets you through
You can count your blessings I'll just count on blue
Blue is the color of night
When the red sun
Disappears from the sky
Raven feathers shiny and black
A touch of blue glistening down her back
Blue

"Born To Be Loved"

"Born To Be Loved"


You weren't born to be abandoned
You weren't born to be forsaken
You were born to be loved
You were born to be loved

And you weren't born to misguided
You were born to be loved

You were born to be loved

You weren't born to suffer
And you weren't born for nothing
You were born to be loved

"Broken Butterflies"

"Broken Butterflies"


You wear your anger well and stand
For all the world to see
A heavy cloak and one gloved hand
And no humility

You stand inside the garden
And feast on black cherries
And swallow the manna from heaven
And spit out the seeds

You spread your anger on sharp-edged knives
Cut my skin and make it bleed
Like Pilate in his self-righteousness
You're a traitor and a thief

Choking on your unplanned words
Coughing up your lies
Tumbling from your mouth a flurry
Of broken butterflies

But the blood that flows I cannot hide
That blood that covers me
Nourishes the butterflies
And they are healed and are set free

I wish you had what Ruth possessed
But then I don't expect that of you
Grace and honor and faithfulness
And the love that you refuse

Will you ever learn to just forgive
Will you open your beautiful eyes
And bleed the way Christ did
And fix the broken butterflies

"Burning Bridges"

"Burning Bridges"


Sometimes the best intentions are never truly met
And all your expectations are never what you get
You'll never say why or come up with a reason
You've been weakened by a strain of bad decisions

Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Now you've won and you've lost and you won't put up a fight
And I can add you to my list of things that keep me up at night
You're the saddest story that's ever been told
And I stand back and watch as the tragedy unfolds

Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down

If there ever was a time, it's now, it might not come again
You have to choose which eyes to look through in the end
The loveliest flowers will die in a drought
And your loneliest hours will be worse than you ever thought

Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Why you wanna, why you wanna burn bridges
Why you wanna, why you wanna burn this bridge
Why you wanna burn this bridge
Why you wanna burn it down

"Bus To Baton Rouge"

"Bus To Baton Rouge"


I had to go back to that house one more time
To see if Camellias were in bloom
For so many reasons it's been on my mind
The house on Belmont Avenue

Built up on cinderblocks off of the ground
What with the rain and the soft swampy land
By the sweet honeysuckle that grew all around
Were switches when we were bad

[Chorus:]
I took a bus to Baton Rouge....[etc.]

All the front rooms were kept closed off
I never liked to go in there much
Sometimes the doors they'd be locked
'Cause there were precious things I couldn't touch

The company couch covered in plastic
Little books about being saved
The dining room table nobody ate at
And the piano nobody played



(Repeat Chorus)

There was this beautiful lamp I always loved
A seashore was painted on the shade
It would turn around when you switched on the bulb
And gently rock the waves

The driveway was covered with tiny white seashells
A fig tree stood in the backyard there are other things I remember, as well
But to tell them would be just too hard

Ghosts in the wind that blow through my life
Follow me wherever I go

I'll never be free from these chains inside
Hidden deep down in my soul

"Buttercup"

"Buttercup"


You talk about the junk you did,
Like you talk about climbing trees.
You look like a little kid,
With bruises on your knees.

You will never cop,
To the damage that's been done.
You will never stop,
Cos it's too much fun.

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup,
Good luck finding your buttercup.

You already suck me dry,
Can't do it any more honey.
You rough me up and make me cry,
And you wanna borrow money.

You say you feel like a failure,
And wish you cold take it all back.
Well honey I gotta tell you,
It's a little too late for that.

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup,
Good luck finding your buttercup.

Glory is an act of the other
You're always feeling bad
Maybe you couldn't talk to your mother,
Or stand up to your dad.

You want my forgiveness,
That I'll give to you.
But you got yourself in this mess,
There's nothing I can do.

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup,
Good luck finding your buttercup.

First time I saw you,
You would make me melt.
The last time I saw you,
You hit below the belt.

You might have a beautiful mouth,
You might have beautiful eyes.
But soon or later, it'll all go south,
You tell too many lies.

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup,
Good luck finding your buttercup.
Good luck finding your buttercup.
Good luck finding your buttercup.

"Can't Close The Door On Love"

"Can't Close The Door On Love"


You're just a little rough around the edges
Tough as nail, made of stone
But that's exactly what I expected
'Cause baby, you're one piece of work

You're smart as a whip though you can be a handful
You're always right some of the time
And I know we fight and we can raise some hell
But I'm gonna be with you for the rest of my life

'Cause trust me you can't close the door on our love
Just because you made somebody cry
It ain't no thing, its just a little teardrop
And trust me you can't close the door on love

I know you've got a little of that boy in you
And I got a little of that girl in me
But at the end of the day, we know what to do
And that's the way it's always gonna be

Trust me you can't close the door on our love
Just because you made somebody cry
It ain't no thing, its just a little teardrop
Baby trust me, you can't close the door on love

Trust me you can't close the door on our love
Just because you made somebody cry
It ain't no thing, its just a little teardrop
And trust me you can't close the door on love
Trust me you can't close the door on love

"Can't Let Go"

"Can't Let Go"


Told you baby one more time
Don't make me sit all alone and cry
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

I'm like a fish out of water
A cat in a tree
You don't even want to talk to me
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

[Refrain:]
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

See I got a candle and it burns so bright
In my window every night
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

You don't like to see me standing around
Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

[Refrain:]
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

[SOLO]

Turn off trouble like you turn off a light
Went off and left me it just ain't right
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

Round every corner something I see
Bring me right back how it used to be
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

[Refrain:]
He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go

He won't take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a big chain around my neck
And I'm broken down like a train wreck
Well it's over I know it but I can't let go

Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go
Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go
