Part of Me (Acoustic) - By The Coast

I used to love how you despised me You made me weaker than I was I'm so sick and tired of all these conversations I believed in all you told me The way I never was enough I'm so fucking tired of all these accusations From what I've learned I will be okay, 'cause baby you were not my first I have found my way now I walked away from your life I will be a better part of me without you, dear I just had to wake up and see my own reflection I will be a better part of me without you, dear I will be a better part of me without you I'd always do the things you told me You made me tell your every lie I'm not letting you take the control of these situations From what I've learned I will be okay, 'cause baby you were not my first I have found my way now I walked away from your life I will be a better part of me without you, dear I just had to wake up and see my own reflection I will be a better part of me without you, dear I will be a better part of me without you From what I've learned I will be okay, 'cause, baby, you were not my first From what I've learned I will be okay, 'cause, baby, you were not my first I have found my way now I walked away from your life I will be a better part of me without you, dear I just had to wake up and see my own reflection I will be a better part of me without you, dear I will be a better part of me without you

It's 2 a.m. in London The sun's out in LA This lonely hotel room Is far too far from you Missing another birthday Wish I could kiss your pretty face I know I've let you down I hate to let you down Mountains and oceans I'm counting the seconds No distance could keep me from you And even a million miles away When all my hairs have turn to grey You'll always be my number one Ride that line into the sun No matter where in time and space I'll carry you inside of me You will always be the best part of me Your head's now on my shoulder I could kiss your pretty face I won't let you down As I have let you down Goodbyes are behind us And all my past mistakes I get to hold you now Never letting you go now These mountains and oceans Have bound us much closer I thank you for waiting on me And even a million miles away When all my hairs have turn to grey You'll always be my number one Ride that line into the sun No matter where in time and space I'll carry you inside of me You will always be the best part of me You will always be the best part of me Even after all that's said and done You will always be my number one And even a million miles away When all my hairs have turn to grey You'll always be my number one Ride that line into the sun No matter where in time and space I'll carry you inside of me You will always be the best part of me The best part of me The best part of me

I felt it when the sun came up this morning I knew that I could not wait another day Darling, there is something I must tell you A distant voice is calling me away Until we find the bridge across forever Until this grand illusion brings us home You and I will always be together From this day on you'll never walk alone You're a part of me, I'm a part of you Wherever we may travel Whatever we go through Whatever time may take away It cannot change the way we feel today So hold me close and say you feel it too You're a part of me and I'm a part of you I can hear it when I stand beside the river I can see it when I look up in the sky I can feel it when hear that lonesome highway So many miles to go before I die We can never know about tomorrow But still we have to choose which way to go You and I are standing at the crossroads Darling, there is one thing you should know You're a part of me, I'm a part of you Wherever we may travel Whatever we go through Whatever time may take away It cannot change the way we feel today So hold me close and say you feel it too You're a part of me and I'm a part of you Part of you I look at you your whole life stands before you I look at me and I'm running out of time Time has brought us here to share these moments To look for something we may never find Until we find the bridge across forever Until this grand illusion brings us home You and I will always be together From this day on you'll never walk alone You're a part of me, I'm a part of you Wherever we may travel Whatever we go through Whatever time may take away It cannot change the way we feel today So hold me close and say you feel it too You're a part of me and I'm a part of you Part of you Part of me, part of you Part of me, part of you

I don't know how you got in my head Turning all my visions to red But you did and I'm grateful For helpin' me see That even after all this time Your love is a part of me First, you pulled me out of my grave Handed me the keys to my cage And I guess that I owe you for the air that I breathe But now you're startin' to choke me With the hands that used to feed Now your love is a part of me It's a part of me Your love is part of me It's a part of me Thought you'd be malicious and clean Calculated like a machine And I'm drawn to your nightmare While you pull on my chains I can't deny that I have found the comfort in the pain I've got to get away from your arms Your suffocating violent charms You're the colour of evil on the wings of a dove But even if I shoot you down, I just can't shake you off Now your love is a part of me It's a part of me Your love is a part of me It's a part of me Your love is a part of me It's a part of me How did I get so sick from your embrace? Your mouth's full of salt for all my cuts Now the last of me Is leaving you But this part will never give up I've got to get away from your hate You only teach me how to degrade You're a waste, you're a tyrant You're a leech of my kindness You're a cunt, and a bastard And it makes me so sad that You're just imitating, you're asphyxiating Your love is a part of myself that I'm hating Your love is a part of me It's a part of me Your love is a part of me It's a part of me Your love is a part of me It's a part of me It's a part of me

In the east coast, in the west coast Trough the middle of the city In the north shore, in the south shore Through the middle of the commonwealth I will be rocking, for you I will be rolling, for you I will be rocking and a rolling, for you On the east side, on the west side All around the town In the north pole, in the south pole All over the world, huh I will be rocking, for you I will be rolling, for you I will be rocking and a rolling, for you From the first mile, to the tenth mile Were the rock 'n' roller city On the right side, on the road side All over the land I will be rocking, for you I will be rolling, for you I will be rocking and a rolling, for you... ow! From the right bank, to the left bank With a stone that couldn't find the land From the midland, to the outland On the orient express... yeah From the gulf coast, to the gulf coast Through the middle of the valley At the north sky, at the south sky Through the middle of the universe I will be rocking, for you I will be rolling, for you I will be rocking and a rolling, for you... ohh

Canadian cold Canadian cheer I couldn't spend another winter up here In this desolate fishing town Counting the months as they wear me down Watch over your flock The cracks in the ice will swallow them up The lake needs to eat just like all living things And it's hungriest in the spring Now you know What's eating me Taking hold It was dragging me down It was dragging me down The town is always on alert In the spring, they patrol the coast, fearing the worst But no one can seem to accept the fact The lake gives us life, and she takes it back Now you know What's eating me Taking hold It was dragging me down Down in the valley where they found the body, it was growing cold Now you know What's eating me Taking hold It was dragging me down It was dragging me down Now you know Now you know Now you know What's eating me Moved on, another girl had gone missing Last anyone heard, she'd gone out to go fishing The cracks in the lake make a mighty fine grave in the summer thaw

Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets Me, I'm from a different type of left land, old wild west land Nose bleeds, palm trees and tumbleweeds rustling Outside they say it's happy here but it's depressin' Too many pretty faces catchin' my attention So I look at 'em, remind myself in this smudged glass That pretty isn't everything, you punkass Always hard to see past the surface when it looks so perfect But her eyes will disguise dirt on purpose, you listening? I grew up here, under the sun In grade school, I was the odd one out of the bunch And I don't mean I was the kid to eat bugs for lunch I was the one who wasn't comin' from where they're comin' from, uh I speak poetically and never pride my ignorance But this California shit is rigorous They say it's happy here, happiness is figurative I'm happy 'cause of me, doesn't matter where I'm livin' If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame I'm waking up underneath sheets, naked, still sweating Slept in late so everybody else is ready My friend called up, he said, "Hurry up, buddy, it's almost sundown already" So I hopped up, I went and washed up I ate some pasta then I gave my mom hugs And then I thought, uh It's gonna be a pretty nice night (But pretty isn't everything, right?) Golden state mind, I'm taking my time Plain white shirt and a skinny black tie My top let down when I get picked up, PCH, so California Maybe they were right, happiness is a warm gun But before you shoot, please, warn us Life is too fun, California, will you marry me? Let God be the sun and in the ocean they shall bury me If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame It's a goddamn shame

A family of musicians took shelter for the night In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine Rose of Jericho and Bougainvillea This is a lonely life Sorrows everywhere you turn And that's worth something When you think about it That's worth some money That's worth something When you think about it That is worth some money A trip to the market A trip into the pearl gray morning sunlight That settles over Washington A trip to the market A trip around the world Where the evening meal Is negotiable, if there is one. This is a lonely-lone, lonely life Sorrows everywhere you turn And that's worth something When you think about it That's worth some money That's worth something When you think about it That is worth some money To prove that I love you Because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast If I have money If I have children Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah Summer skies and stars are falling All along the injured coast Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah Summer skies and the stars are falling We are standing in the sunlight The early morning sunlight In the harbor church of St. Cecilia To praise a soul's returning to the earth To the rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea This is the only life And that's worth something When you think about it That's worth some money That's worth something When you think about it That is worth some money To prove that I love you Because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast If I have money If I have children Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast If I have weaknesses Don't let them blind me now Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo Wop a Doo Wah Summer skies and stars are falling Leaving the shadow of the valley behind me now All along the injured coast Ooh-wah Oow-wah Doo Wop a Doo Wah Summer skies and stars are falling All along the injured coast Ooh-wah Ooh-wah Doo Wop a Doo Wah
