Send "I'm not gay (I just wish I were)" ringtones to your cell

So I say forget it while you reach, reach for the shotgun 
We'll keep this simple to keep you on your toes 
And give you purpose, yeah on purpose 
Break the glass, before it overflows 

I'll keep this action-packed, like a movie 
Like I stole your keys 
And jammed them in the ignition 
Just like you fucked him 
And led me to this 

I'll make it 
I'm OK 
So save yourself the trouble 

I'll make it 
I'm OK 
So save yourself the...yeah 

I'll make it (I'm gonna make it and you'll...) 
I'm OK (Be left here to fight this...) 
So save yourself the trouble 

I'll make it (I'm gonna make it and you'll...) 
I'm OK (Be left here to fight this alone) 
So save yourself the... 

I make it out like it was an accident 
Like I didn't get these scars on purpose 
Black and blue stitches, force my eyelids to your stereo 
I walk around this town, it makes you oh so nervous 
I'm a crash-course in desperation 

I'll make it 
I'm OK 
So save yourself the trouble 

I'll make it 
I'm OK 
So save yourself the...yeah 

I'll make it (I'm gonna make it and you'll...) 
I'm OK (Be left here to fight this...) 
So save yourself the trouble 

I'll make it (I'm gonna make it and you'll...) 
I'm OK (Be left here to fight this alone) 
So save yourself the... 

Take the time, digest this feeling 
And pray it never goes away 
Take the time, digest this feeling... 

Turn it over (To find the words) 
Turn it over (To find the strength) 
Turn it over (To find the feelings) 
Turn it over (To give this...) 

You blew this, a mistake 
You blew this.... 
You blew this, a mistake (I'll make it...) 
You blew this...(And end up stronger) 
You blew this, a mistake (I'll make it...) 
You...you...you (Out of sheer will to see...) 
(I made this out to threaten you with it) 

I'll make it 
I'm OK 
So save yourself the trouble 

I'll make it 
I'm OK 
So save yourself the...yeah 

I'll make it (I'm gonna make it and you'll...) 
I'm OK (Be left here to fight this...) 
So save yourself the trouble 

I'll make it (I'm gonna make it and you'll...) 
I'm OK (Be left here to fight this alone) 
So save yourself the... 

You can keep this and flatter yourself with 
The need to act like I'm the one who's desperate. 

You can keep this and flatter yourself with 
The need to act like I'm the one who's...

51 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal The song on Elektra is "Your Own Disaster". This song I think was only played live, never recorded (not completely sure). Also songs like this one, and Baby Your Beard Hurts, are considerably harder to find than ones that were recorded such as Your Own Disaster, or Follow The Format. The list of songs that weren't ever released on official albums is: Your Own Disaster (old, and new) Follow The Format (acoustic, and regular) Baby Your Beard Hurts I'm Not Gay (I Just Wish I Were) I don't know everything though, so there's probably some missing, or I've just forgotten. I'm glad someone put these lyrics up. I've been looking. It's my favorite song by them. I wish they'd record it.

51 posts	For everyone looking for this song, you're not going to find it on Limewire, or Kazaa, or Bearshare, or anything of the sort. What you need to do is track down an active TBS forum, and ask around on there. Lots of fans have this song, and will usually be willing to send it to you. I got I'm Not Gay pretty easily. It was Baby, Your Beard Hurts which was hard to find. Especially since I've still never heard it. So, I'm going to go look for a copy right now. My computer crashed a while back, and I have a new one now, which means all my Taking Back Sunday media (I had a lot) is gone. I now have neither of these songs. Oh, and, The Metal Song? I've never even heard of that. Hrm. I'll look into it, I suppose. If you like, anyone looking for these songs can IM me. I will probably have them, since I will be searching. Or, on the flipside, if you have the songs, please IM me as well. IM me at: gggollypriscilla. Thanks, and good luck.

1,966 posts	For everyone looking for this song, you're not going to find it on Limewire, or Kazaa, or Bearshare, or anything of the sort I just found both I'm Not Gay (I just wish I were) and Baby Your Beard Hurts on limewire....they aren't the greatest quality, since they are live, but I found them there none the less....
