Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Although it is widely respected by her many fans, the follow up to this album, Harmonium, did not fare as well, selling only 179,000 copies. Her third album, tentatively titled "Heroes and Thieves," will be released mid to late 2007.

Unsung Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match and meet the standards that you set
Oh how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin for
Bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
I am cryin
You arent tryin
I am melting away
I wait for the words on the tip of your tongue
Im only as good as the last one
Well you decide and I abide as my song goes unsung (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Things are goin crazy and Im not sure who to blame
Everything is changing and I do not feel the same
Im slippin through the cracks of floors I thought that were strong
Im tryin to find a place where I can feel like I belong
Well, I am cryin
You arent tryin
I am melting away
::chorus::
If I could be the lesson that you learn, you learn if only
I could be the last one that love burns, it burns... yeah
If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match and meet the standards that you set
Oh how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin for
Bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
Well, I am cryin
You arent tryin
And I am melting away
::chorus::
