Yeah
locked in the basement
I'm so paranoid i'm all incased and I can't escape
and when I look up, mothers looking down
and when I wake up, mothers not around
Cause if you want you can have
everything that I've got
cause if you want
you can take it all away from me
away from me
Nobodies perfect, but you just can't see
my life's a circus that you don't believe
your sayin something but not coming clean
now when I wake up mothers livin she's livin in her dreams
Cause if your satisfied well I'll watch you wave goodbye
cause if you want you can take it all away from me
Please don't come down and see me this way
please don't come down, I'm to afraid
please don't come down and see me this way
please don't come down well i'm to afraid
cause if your unsatisfied well I'll watch you wave goodbye

I wish I could change the way things are
and the way things are going to be,
but I can't and that's hard.
Please say you'll live each day and you won't give in.
I pray it's not too late to start living.
Today I'll say "I'll be fine". Truly I'm scared.

If it all worked out we would live in a different house.
We would live in a different town.
This is a brand new start; clear body, broken heart.
I'll come visit you when I get the chance.
Breathing's not easy when you're underwater.
I am drowning and you're keeping me under.
Close your eyes, sleep outside. it's warmer than in here.
I'll be fine, I'll run and hide. I wish I could stay here.
You're still in my head. my mind's convinced that you never left.
I'm counting down till I see you next.
I still compare everything to your silhouette.

Last night I fell asleep with my clothes on.
In the middle of summer.
I woke up shaking from the cold.
Beneath these empty covers.
I started sleeping on my back.
Because you used to... and I miss you.
I found your note when I came to.
It was a heartfelt thank you that broke my heart in two.
So pack up and leave this place behind.
Your eyes are so much brighter now.
That I'm too scared to look at you.
In a room so full of people.

There's something different about the air in this town.
I feel like I can truly breathe.
Tonight, 3000 miles from home,
I'm so glad I took a chance.
1104 Porter Street. I'm home.

Pictures painted by your hand.
Will never look the same again.
The colours run, the colours fade.
What once was bright.
Has now turned to grey.
There is a place in which I keep.
The parts of you and me.
As they were meant to be.

Rain falls hard
Washes me away
I feel sick.
I feel sick
So empty
So ordinary
Cause in my head I heard you call my name
I'm breaking down
I'm fading
Everything I had will fall apart

Let me know the truth.
Let me know we're not pretending.
I will wait for you, just like I said I would.
Every single word, cuts deeper than the first.
You're a broken piece of what we used to be.
Please save me.
Let me know the truth.
Let me know we're not pretending.
I will wait for you, just like you knew I would.

I looked up at your window
And pretended I could see you.
You don't live there anymore.
My mind wanders and I get lost in thoughts of you.
I sleep to escape, because drinking kills you anyway.
So why when I wake does my heart still ache?
Your cup is still on the window sill.
I'll bring myself to move it soon,
But until I do, I'll get lost in thoughts of you.
You made the best impression:
Perfection on the page.

I watched you crash like waves upon me.
My eyes were burning, I could barely see.
You said that you weren't ready for something,
I guess you weren't ready for me.
I don't think I hate you, but I know I want to.
Remember the things you said,
because you can't regret the things that you forget.
I screamed all the way home,
the impression you left was far from gone.

Gasping for air, choking on my indecision.
Hide me in my room and forget me.
I'm sorry, if you want to know the truth.
This is me against the world.
Is my mother happy? is my father proud?

Remember when we went to the city?
You held my hand as we got off the train.
And we just talked for hours,
as we sheltered out from the rain.
I can't sleep and I can't eat and I can't focus on this.
And everything you said to me was just a lie,
something to make me feel good inside.
Nothing hurts harder than finding out the truth,
about the one thing you thought you knew.

If you had a clue, I might enjoy what you do.
But you don't, and so I don't too.
Can't you see, this is more than a race for me.
There's a difference between where you want to be

This town is so cold; even summer is not enough to make me feel like home.
I heard you heard I said, "I will never leave". I say, "we'll see".
Sometimes I feel like I'm sinking so far, I won't see the light again.
I'll break my hands pulling myself out - even with you keeping me down.

It's darker than it's ever been.
It's hard enough to see without
you making me feel like I am nothing...
I'm nothing.
All the lights are out, in your house
and you're nowhere to be found.
I know you're scared, but I'm still here.
I'm coming round.
Please let me in, it's cold outside

Every moment is broken.
Am I kidding myself, trying to get you out of my life
when I can't get you out of my mind?
We're talking, but are these words fake? Is anything left true?
I made a promise to myself, but I'll break it if you ask me to.

Train rides up west to my second home.
You sat there waiting for me.
Books for the ride, just to pass the time.
These birds of peace are leaving.
No more waiting for me.
No more waiting for me.
Stay up late, watch tv.
We never watched it really.
We made plans I thought we'd keep.
The dates still in my diary.
No more waiting for me.

Slow down, take your time. I want to hear what you have to say.
I know I miss you too, but we'll be back soon.
December came and went, but we'll never forget it -
the long drives and the cold nights, funny how it felt so right.
I've got a plan, how about we do it all again?
But this time we make it last longer.
We'll be back soon.
One week is all it takes, to make me see how much you mean to me.

See me in the basement
Watching the water rise
See me in the classroom
Watching the seconds tick by
See me in the attic
Trying out a new disguise
See me in the hallways
Avoiding everybody's eyes
I was on a stoney beach
Watching the sea birds fly
I was looking at a mountain side
From the back of a bus, so high
The past is filled with episodes
No one will televise
I was in the basement
Watching the water rise
I was in the classroom
Watching the seconds tick by
See me in the attic
Trying out a new disguise
See me in the hallways
Avoiding everybody's eyes
I was on a stoney beach
Watching the sea birds fly
I was looking at a mountain side
From the back of a bus, so high
The past is filled with episodes
