Melissa Etheridge Lyrics
2001 Well I've been looking Looking for an answer Somebody prom…
Ain't It Heavy Sometimes I know that it's never enough Survival is fine…
Dance Without Sleeping I don't want to talk about it I've done enough…
It's For You Hey you watching as this light bleeds all over me…
Keep It Precious You brought me to trust you brought me to tears…
Meet Me In The Back Meet me in the back Don't make me wait too…
Must Be Crazy For Me You tell me not to call you up Cause it…
Place Your Hand I've an image in my pocket Of some dark demon…
The Boy Feels Strange And he looks at me in wonder And he looks…
The Letting Go I came here to let you know The letting go…
