| When I feel lost | B |
| Astray | A |
| In disarray | A |
| - | |
| The white dress pooling around me as i walk down | C |
| Alone | D |
| No father beside me | E |
| Lost in everything I ve ever known | D |
| Because you re gone | F |
| And you won t come back | G |
| - | |
| You re not dead | H |
| No | - |
| Not exactly | E |
| Not legally | E |
| Medically | E |
| Certainly | E |
| - | |
| Just dead to me | E |
| Not that it s something that you see | E |
| I ve given up | I |
| I don t want to meet you halfway | A |
| I don t care that the phone works both ways | J |
| Or any of those other ridiculous things that you say | A |
| - | |
| I m told you re supposed to know me | E |
| For all I am and what makes it such a way | A |
| How I take my tea | E |
| Perhaps my coffee | E |

| What makes me sick | L |
| Favorite candies | M |
| What makes me tick | L |
| Favorite chips | N |

| I want you gone | F |

| If I had it my way I d never see you again | S |
| and I d never care | T |
| - | |
| Damn it all this isn t fair | T |
| I want to tell people I love my dad | U |
| All he s done for me | E |
| Why can t you just use your eyes | V |
| See | E |
| See me for all I am and all I ve done and not what I wasn t able to do for you | W |
| - | |
| I don t want to label you as cruel | X |
| You never hit me | E |
| You hurt me | E |
| Deceived me | E |
| Left me behind for every new girlfriend that came along | Y |
| Lied to me | E |
| - | |
| But when I needed you | W |
| You never fought for me | E |
| Never showed me | E |
| That there was even a possibility of you loving me | E |
