Welcome to SOFTLY SURRENDER, my unofficial matchbox twenty website. This site is devoted to matchbox twenty (Adam, Kyle, Rob, Brian, and Paul) and their music. I interpreted the lyrics to the matchbox twenty songs somewhat differently than they are written on the album. I tried to write them exactly as how they are sung on the albums. [example: in "Angry", although the lyrics say "heavy on the memory", Rob clearly sings "hanging on the memory"]. Sorry if I made any mistakes. Also, I know, some of my unreleased lyrics may not be quite correct, as I have no good copy to go by. Anyway, I hope you like my website. If you have any corrections to lyrics or something of the sort, or have a website and want to be added to my mb20 links page, or anything else you want to tell me, e-mail me at: upinflames7347@softlysurrender.cjb.net

SOFTLY SURRENDER, 2001.

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies, so toss me out and turn in and there'll be no rest for these tired eyes. I'm marking it down to learning, I am. Don't think that I could take another empty moment. I don't think that I could fake another hollow smile. When it's not enough just to be loving you. I don't think that I could take another talk about it. Just like me, you've got needs and they're only a whisper away. And we softly surrender to these lives that we've tendered away. But I would not sleep in this bed of lies so toss me out and turn in and there'll be no rest for these tired eyes. I'm marking it down to learning, I'm marking it down to learning, 'cuz I can. Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over. Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong. Where it's not enough just to be sorry. Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in. I try to be more than me and I gave until it all went away. And we've only surrendered to the worst part of these winters that we've made oh. But I would not sleep in this bed of lies so toss me out and turn in and there'll be no rest for these tired eyes. I'm marking it down to learning, I'm marking it down to learning, I am. All that I'll ever be when you lay your hands over me. And don't go weak on me please. I know that it's weak, but God help me I need this, I would not sleep in this bed of lies so toss me out and turn in and there'll be no rest for these tired eyes, I'm marking it down to learning, I'm marking it down to learning 'cuz I can.
