Hate This PlaceThe Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: John Rzeznik

[Verse 1]
Gone away
Who knows where you been
But you take all your lies
And wish them all away
I somehow doubt
We'll ever be the same
There's too much poison
And confusion on your face

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doing?
I think I love you
But I ain't saying
Nothing you don't know

[Chorus]
Hold on, dream away
You're my sweet charade

[Verse 2]
Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah, I can take your lies
Until you fall away
You know I'm lost
Hiding in your bed
No, I don't think it's wrong
It's just gone to my head

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doing?
I think I love you
But I ain't saying
Nothing you don't know

[Chorus]
Hold on, dream away
You're my sweet charade

[Bridge]
Hey, what did you do to me?
Would you come back to me?
Yeah, I can't do another day
I'm not certain of it anyway
I ain't messing with another life
Can I get along without you?
Tell me the lies that you know I need

[Chorus]
Hold on, dream away
You're my sweet charade
Hold on, dream away
You're my sweet charade

[Outro]
Hold on, dream away
Hold on, dream away

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
