Avril Lavigne
Under My Skin

01   Take Me Away (02:59)

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

All the pain I thought I knew
All the 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 this
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

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'm going no where [on and on and]
I'm getting no where [on and on and on]
Take me away
I'm going no where [on and on and on and on]
[and off and on and off and on]

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

Take me away
Break me away
Take me away
Take me away

02   Together (03:16)

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

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 so long
I realize that I need
Something good to rely on
Something for me

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

My heart is broken
I'm lying here
My thoughts are choking
On you, my dear
On you, my dear
On you, my dear

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
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

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, no

03   Don't Tell Me (03:24)

You held my hand and walked me home, I know
Why you gave me that kiss,
It was something like this, and 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.
Guys are so hard to trust.

Did I not tell you that I'm not like that
Girl the one who, who gives it all away.

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? (And cry)
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way

Don't think that your charm
And the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants,
I'll have to kick your ass
To make you never forget.

I'm gonna ask to you stop,
I thought I liked you alot,
But I'm really upset (really upset)
So get outta 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, who throws it all away.

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? (And cry)
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way

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

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? (And cry)
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way

I'm better off alone, anyway..

04   He Wasn't (03:01)

05   How Does It Feel (03:47)

I'm not afraid of anything
I just need to know that I can breathe
I don't need much of anything
But suddenly, suddenly
I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
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 I can't sleep
But suddenly, suddenly

Chorus

Would you comfort me?
Would you cry with me?

I am small and the world is big
But I am not afraid of anything

Chorus

How does it feel, how does it feel
You're different from me, different 4x

06   My Happy Ending (04:04)

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 hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

CHORUS
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending

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 the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

CHORUS

It's nice to know that 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 as I fall
And letting me know we were done

CHORUS X 2

So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending

07   Nobody's Home (03:34)

I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it every day
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
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs

She wants to go home but nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes,
Broken inside.

Open your eyes (open your eyes)
And look outside
Find the reason why (why)
You've been rejected (you've been rejected)
And now you can't find
What you left behind

Be strong, be strong now
Too many too many problems
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs

She wants to go home but nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes,
Broken inside.

Her feeling she hides
Her dreams 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 (yeah!)

She wants to go home but nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes,
Broken inside.

She's lost inside, lost inside
She's lost inside, lost inside

08   Forgotten (03:19)

Oh, oh 4x

I'm giving up
On everything because you mess me up
Don't know how much you screwed it up
You never listen, that's just too bad
Because I'm moving on
I won't forget you were the one that was wrong
I know I need to step up and be strong
Don't patronize me, yeah

Chorus:
Have you forgotten
Everything that I wanted?
Do you forget it's now
You never got it?
Do you get it now, yeah, yeah, yeah?

Oh, oh 2x

Gotta get away
There's no point in thinking about yesterday
It's too late now
It will never be the same
We're so different now, yeah

Chorus

I know I wanna run away, I know I wanna run away
Run away
If only I could run away, if only I could run away
Run away
I told you what I wanted; I told you what I wanted
What I wanted
I was forgotten, I won't be forgotten never again

Chorus

09   Who Knows (03:31)

Yeah (6X)

Why do you look so familiar?
I could swear that I have seen your face before
I think I like that you seem sincere
I think I'd like to get to know you a little bit more

I think there's something more
Life's worth living for

Chorus:
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

Yeah (6X)

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 time
I think there's something more
Life's worth living for

[Chorus]
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

Find yourself
Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?
Find yourself
Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?

Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day

So you go and make it happen
Do your best
Just keep on laughing
I'm telling you, there's always a brand new day

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

10   Fall to Pieces (03:30)

I looked away
Then I looked back at you
You try to say
The things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today is the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all

And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And 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 'til the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms

And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And 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

Wanna know who you are
Wanna know where to start
I wanna know what this means
Wanna know how you feel
Wanna know what is real
I wanna know everything
Everything

I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it

And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
And I don't want to talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you

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

11   Freak Out (03:15)

You should know by now,I wont listen to you
Walk around with my hands up in the air

Cause I'm alright I'm fine

12   Slipped Away (03:36)

13   I Always Get What I Want (02:32)

Every now and then we all want something
Even if there's no way of gettin' it
If i stomach that thats the way it must be
Be the way around it, could I get myself around it

Get me what I want
Everything that I got
Get me what I want
Cause Im a big shot

Dont wanna always have to be so nice
Dont wanna hear you say well thats just life
I dry out when I open my mouth
I make my way around it, make my way around it

Get me what I want
Everything that I got
Get me what I want
Cause Im a big shot

So give me what I want
I always get what I want
Dont want to see me red
If I dont get what I want
Thats not what you want

I'm not about to take no for an answer
no
If I tell you I cant I'm still gonna go
I did it all by myself
I found my way around it

Get me what I want
Everything that I got
Get me what I want
Cause Im a big shot
So give me what I want
I always get what I want
Dont want to see me red
If I dont get what I want
Thats not what you want

It's not to lovely
It could start to get ugly
It really bugs me

Get me what I want
Everything that I got
Get me what I want
Cause Im a big shot
So give me what I want
I always get what I want
Dont want to see me red
If I dont get what I want
Thats not what you want
