Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne : Under my skin (2004)

1. Take me away
I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do
You do if you knew
What would you do?
chorus :
All the pain I thought I knew
All my thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone
All by myself
I need to get around it
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
Cause no one understands
chorus
I'm going nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
Take me away
I'm going nowhere
chorus
It's there inside all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do
You do if you knew
What would you do?
chorus :
All the pain I thought I knew
All my thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone
All by myself
I need to get around it
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
Cause no one understands
chorus
I'm going nowhere
I'm getting nowhere
Take me away
I'm going nowhere
chorus
2. Together
Something just isn't right
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny
When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie
chorus :
When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
This has gone on too long
I realize that I need
Something good to rely on
Something for me
chorus
My heart is broken
I'm here
My thoughts are choking
On you, my dear [x3]
chorus
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together, no
I don't feel together, no
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together, no
I don't feel together
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny
When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie
chorus :
When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
This has gone on too long
I realize that I need
Something good to rely on
Something for me
chorus
My heart is broken
I'm here
My thoughts are choking
On you, my dear [x3]
chorus
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together, no
I don't feel together, no
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together, no
I don't feel together
3. Don't tell me
You held my hand
And walked me home, I know
Why, you gave me that kiss
That went something like this
It made me go 'oh oh'
You wiped my tears
Got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Cause you're so hard to trust
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that
Girl the one who gives it all away, yeah
chorus :
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you
This time
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do
I'm crying
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah
Don't think that you're charming the fact
That your arm is now around my neck
Get you in my pants, I'll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
I thought I liked you a lot
But I'm really upset
Get out of my head, get off of my bed
Yeah, that's what I said
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that
Girl the one who throws it all away, yeah
chorus
This guilt trip that you put me on won't mess me up
I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away
chorus
And walked me home, I know
Why, you gave me that kiss
That went something like this
It made me go 'oh oh'
You wiped my tears
Got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Cause you're so hard to trust
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that
Girl the one who gives it all away, yeah
chorus :
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you
This time
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do
I'm crying
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah
Don't think that you're charming the fact

Get you in my pants, I'll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop

But I'm really upset
Get out of my head, get off of my bed
Yeah, that's what I said

Girl the one who throws it all away, yeah
chorus
This guilt trip that you put me on won't mess me up
I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away

4. He wasn't
There's not much going on today
I'm really tired, it's getting late
What happened to my Saturday
Monday's coming the day I hate
Sit on the bed alone
Staring at the phone.
chorus :
He wasn't what I wanted, what I've got, no
He wouldn't even open up the door
He never made me feel like I was special
He isn't really what I'm looking for.
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
This is when I start to bite my nails
You're in my room and all else fails
I think it's time for me to bail
This point of view is getting stale
Sit on the bed alone
Staring at the phone.
chorus
Na na na na we've all got choices.
Na na na na, we've all got voices.
Na na na na na, stand up make some noise.
Na na na na, stand up make some noise.
Sit on the bed alone
Staring at the phone.
chorus
I'm really tired, it's getting late
What happened to my Saturday
Monday's coming the day I hate
Sit on the bed alone
Staring at the phone.
chorus :
He wasn't what I wanted, what I've got, no
He wouldn't even open up the door
He never made me feel like I was special
He isn't really what I'm looking for.
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
This is when I start to bite my nails
You're in my room and all else fails
I think it's time for me to bail
This point of view is getting stale
Sit on the bed alone
Staring at the phone.
chorus
Na na na na we've all got choices.
Na na na na, we've all got voices.
Na na na na na, stand up make some noise.
Na na na na, stand up make some noise.
Sit on the bed alone
Staring at the phone.
chorus
5. How does it feel
I'm not afraid of anything
I just need to know that I can breathe
I don't need much of anything
But suddenly
I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
But suddenly, suddenly
chorus :
How does it feel to be
Different from me
Are we the same
How does it feel to be
Different from me
Are we the same
How does it feel
I am young and I am free
But I get tired and I get weak
I get lost and suddenly I can't sleep
But suddenly, suddenly
chorus
Would you comfort me
Would you cry with me
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
How does it feel
How does it feel
You're different from me different
How does it feel
How does it feel
You're different from me different
I just need to know that I can breathe
I don't need much of anything
But suddenly
I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
But suddenly, suddenly
chorus :
How does it feel to be
Different from me
Are we the same
How does it feel to be
Different from me
Are we the same
How does it feel
I am young and I am free
But I get tired and I get weak
I get lost and suddenly I can't sleep
But suddenly, suddenly
chorus
Would you comfort me
Would you cry with me
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
How does it feel
How does it feel
You're different from me different
How does it feel
How does it feel
You're different from me different
6. My happy ending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Caught up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought of you
And I thought we could be
chorus :
You were everything, everything that I wanted
And we were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All that they talk about
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought of you
And I thought we could be
chorus
It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching at the phone
And making me feel we were done
chorus
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Caught up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought of you
And I thought we could be
chorus :
You were everything, everything that I wanted
And we were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away

7. Nobody's home
I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
For where she belongs
Where she belongs
She wants to go home, and nobody's home
Where she lies, broken inside
There's no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside
Open your eyes and look outside, find a reason why
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind
Be strong, be strong now
Too many, too many problems
For where she belongs, where she belongs
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
It's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside
Her feelings she hides.
Her thoughts she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
She wants to go home, and nobody's home.
Where she lies, broken inside.
There's no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
For where she belongs
Where she belongs
She wants to go home, and nobody's home
Where she lies, broken inside
There's no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside
Open your eyes and look outside, find a reason why
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind
Be strong, be strong now
Too many, too many problems
For where she belongs, where she belongs
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
It's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside
Her feelings she hides.
Her thoughts she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
She wants to go home, and nobody's home.
Where she lies, broken inside.
There's no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Why do you look so familiar
I swear I could have seen your face before
I think I like that you seem sincere
I think I'd like to get to know you
a bit more
chorus :
I think there's something more
Life's worth living for
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
How do you always have an opinion
And how do you always find
The best way to compromise
We don't need to have a reason
We don't need anything we're just wasting
chorus (x 2)
Find yourself
Cause I can't find you
Be yourself

10. Fall to pieces
I looked away
Then I looked back at you
You tried to say
Things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all
chorus :
I don't want to fall to pieces
I just don't want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about
I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
'cause I'm in love with you
You're the only one
I'd be with until the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms
chorus
Want to know who you are
Want to know where to start
I want to know what this means
Want to know how to feel
Want to know what is real
I want to know everything, everything
chorus (x 2)
I'm in love with you
Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
