We tried so hard to understand, but we can't
We held the world out in our hands and you ran away
It takes some time to let you go and it shows
'Cause all we know is falling, it falls
Remember how 'cause I know
That we won't forget at all
Now we can follow you back home but we won't
Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?
It takes some time to let you go and it shows
'Cause all we know is falling, it falls
Remember how 'cause I know
That we won't forget at all
You never, you never said
This wasn't what you wanted
Was it, was it?
This isn't what you wanted
This isn't what you wanted
'Cause all we know is falling, it falls
Remember how 'cause I know
I settle down a twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well, you would have never known
I had it all, but not what I wanted
'Cause hope for me was a place uncharted and overgrown
You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So I did it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More, more, more, more
Open your eyes like I open mine
It's only the real world, life you will never know
Shifting your way to throw off the pain
Well, you can ignore it, but only for so long
You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More, more, more, more
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
So I'll do it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
You won't come any closer
You've got to reach out more
You’ve come to tell me something
You say I ought to know
He don’t love me anymore
And I’ll have to let him go
Well you say your gonna take him
Oh but I don’t think you can
Because you ain’t woman enough
to take my man
Woman like you their a dime a dozen
You can buy them anywhere
For you to get to him
I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body
So get out while you can
Because you ain’t woman enough
To take my man
Sometimes a man’s caught lookin
At things he don’t need
He took a second look at you
but he’s in love with me
well I don’t know where that leaves you
oh but I know where I stand
Oh you ain’t woman enough
To take my man
Woman like you their a dime a dozen
You can buy them anywhere
For you to get to him
I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body
So get out while you can
Because you ain’t woman enough
To take my man
Now you ain’t woman enough
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh ohoh oh
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh oh oh
I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I
Can't reach
You know I can use somebody...
You know I can use somebody...
Some one like you
And all you know
And how you speak
Countless lovers
Under covers of the streets
You know I can use somebody... oh
You know I can use somebody...
Someone like you
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh ohoh oh
Oh ohoh ohoh
Oh ohoh oh oh
Off in the night
While you live it up
I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's going to make you notice... oh
I hope it's going to make you notice...
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Oh ohoh ohoh
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around
Meet me here beneath the burning skies
Where the ocean comes and takes us from all of our lies
You never said that you were coming back
I have waited although I have found the place you hide
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
I will drown until you care
I imagine what it must be like
To have everything you need and not be satisfied
Run the water until it burns
And you cant see through the waves that crash into your prey
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
Going under
Getting close to what we cannot recognize
Floating face down in the lies
Here we are without a trace
But the lies we used to blame
and you're so far away
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
I heard you driving in my car then in a frozen bar
And I claimed I didn't care for you
But your verse got trapped inside my head
Over and over again, you played yourself to death in me
I thought I'd drop you easily but that was not to be
You burrowed like a summer tic
So you invade my sleep and confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch
Stuck on you till the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you till the end of time
You've got me paralyzed
Holding on the telephone, I hear your midrange moan
You're everywhere inside my room
Even when I'm alone I hear your mellow drone
You're everywhere inside of me
Stuck on you till the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you till the end of time
You got me trapped inside
I can't escape your incessant whine
When you beam it out all across the sky
No, I can't escape
(Stuck on you till the end of time)
Your insipid rhyme
(I'm too tired to fight your rhyme)
When you shoot it deep
(Stuck on you till the end of time)
Your lies are bleeding through your teeth,
And your eyes are the only ones filling me,
Your promises never really meant a thing,
But they flew from your lips, so easily,
Stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay away
stay stay stay, stay away from me
stay stay stay stay away, away
It's not best for your heart,
The glass that rips your word apart,
Is this the guilt that keeps you up at night while your in bed?
When you can sleep sound honey I'll return to attack,
oh stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
( stay stay stay, stay away from me )
stay stay stay stay away
(away)
I never was too good with goodbyes,
You made it easy when you couldn't preside it,
With all the evil that you provided,
You still put the good in goodbye,
And goodbye ( and goodbye )
Stay away, stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay away from me
1, 2, 3, 4
I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See, I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
And run from them, from them
With no direction
Run from them, from them
With no conviction
'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me
And we just go in circles
But now I'm told that this life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Someone care to classify
A broken heart and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run to them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh, you are not useless
We are just misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one role
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
You escape like a runaway train
Off the tracks and down again
My heart's beating like a steamboat tugging
All your burdens,
on my shoulders
In the mourning, I'll rise
In the mourning, I'll let you die
In the mourning, all my worry
Now there's nothing but time that's wasted
Words that have no backbone
Now it seems like the whole world's waiting
Can you hear the echoes fading
In the mourning, I'll rise
In the mourning, I'll let you die
In the mourning, all my sorry
And it takes all my strength
Not to dig you up, from the ground in which
you lay
The biggest part of me
You were the greatest thing
And now you're just a memory to let go of
In the mourning, I'll rise
In the mourning, I'll let you die
In the mourning, all my sorry
Well I'll been afraid of changing cuz I built my
life around you
This time it's bolder children get older
I'm getting older soon so
Well I'll climb a mountain and I turn around
and I saw my reflection in snow covered hills
Landslide brought me down landslide brought
me down
In the morning I'll rise
In the morning I'll let you die
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same
We're the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same
Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
I've hoped for change and it gets better everyday
I've hoped for change but still I feel the same
There's something wrong 'cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We're doing fine and it gets better every time
We're doing fine but I'll let you decide
There's something wrong 'cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I'll confess that I can be a little selfish
Yeah, I'll admit
I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again
And we've got everybody singing
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I'll confess that I can be a little selfish
I can, I can, yeah, I'll admit
I don't want you to get me through this
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
'Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Without you
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure, it's getting closer now
You say the sweetest things and I
Can't keep my heart from singing
along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
to this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)
(Someone stop this)
I've gone to far to come back from here,
but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song,
so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song,
so I won't sing..
I never let love in
so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea, the more I sink into this 4/4 beat
I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)
I've gone to far to come back from here,
but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
I've come to far to get over you,
and you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Can't someone stop this song,
so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song,
so I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me if I don't sing
It creeps in like a spider
Can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing along?
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing?
Your lovesick melody
is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me, no
You won't get to me 'cause I won't sing
And here we go again with all the things we said
And not a minute spent to think that we'd regret
So we just take it back these words and hold our breath
Forget the things we swore, we meant
I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say, I'm sad to see you go
'Cause I'm not, well, I'm not
And here we go again with all the things we did
And now I'm wondering, just who would I have been
To be the one attached at all time to your hip
Forget the things we swore, we meant
I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say, I'm sad to see you go
'Cause I'm not, well, I'm not
I'll write you, to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say, I'm sad to see you go
'Cause I'm not, well, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
And here we go again with all the things we said
And not a minute spent to think that we'd regret
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
So we just take it back, so we just take it back
maybe if my heart stops beating
it wont hurt this much
and never will I have to
answer again to anyone
please don't get me wrong
because I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
but now I feel like I don't know you oh
one day you'll get sick of
saying that everything’s alright
and by then I’m sure ill be
pretending just like I am tonight
please don't get me wrong
because I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
but now I feel like I don't know you oh
let this go
let this go
ill never let this go
but I cant find the words to tell you
I don’t want to be alone
but now I feel like I don’t know you
and I’ll never let this go
but I can't find the words to tell you
that now I feel like I don't know you
somehow everything's gonna fall right into place
if we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
if only time flew like a dove
we gotta make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
this time we're not giving up
let's make it last forever
screaming 'hallelujah'
we'll make it last forever
holding onto patience, wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
if only time flew like a dove
we could watch it fly and just keep looking on
this time we're not giving up
let's make it last forever
screaming 'hallelujah'
we'll make it last forever
and we've got time on our hands
and we've got, got nothing but time on our hands
got nothing but, got nothing but
got nothing but time on our hands
this time we're not giving up
oh, let's make it last forever
screaming 'hallelujah'
'hallelujah'
'hallelujah'
take this time to realize
that you always shut your eyes
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and I think that it's time
this battle must be won
but you pushed it aside
pushed it aside
pretend that it's gone
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
take this time to realize
that you always force a smile
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and I think that it's time
this battle must be won
but you pushed it aside
pushed it aside
pretend that it's gone
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
and it never ends
it never ends
and it never ends
and it never ends
no, it never ends
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you just face it, don't pretend
that it's over, it's over
Close your eyes and make believe
This is where you wanna be
Forgetting all the memories
Try to forget love 'cause love's forgotten me
Well, hey, hey, baby, it's never too late
Pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be as distant as stars
Reminiscing, your heart's been wasted on me
[Chorus]
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy, don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
My little decoy!
Living life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you
Just cause you're into me
Well, hey, hey, baby, it's never too late
When I'm gone you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and no, I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day
[Chorus]
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy, don't look so blue
You should have seen right through
I'm using you
My little decoy
I'm not sorry at all
(Not sorry at all, not sorry)
No, I won't be sorry at all
(Not sorry at all, not sorry, no)
I'd do it over again
(Don't look so blue)
My little decoy
(You should have seen right through)
My little decoy
(You've never been so used)
My little decoy
(As I'm using you)
So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
We'll always know that you shine brighter than anyone does
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
If you run away now
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
I'll wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
(You shine bright, you shine bright)
I used to be so quick, so clever
I used to know myself much better
cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
temporary, it never hurts to try
and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over
now I'm a walking contradiction
so tell me what's wrong with this picture?
cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
temporary, so don't hurt me this time
and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over
so give it up, just give up
give it up, give up
give it up, just give up
give it up, give up
and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over
Take this time to realize
That you always shut your eyes
In the midst of a trial
And everything is always right
And I think that it's time
This battle must be won
But you pushed it aside
Pushed it aside, pretend that it's gone
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
Take this time to realize
That you always force a smile
In the midst of a trial
And everything is always right
And I think that it's time
This battle must be won
But you pushed it aside
Pushed it aside, pretend that it's gone
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
And it never ends
It never ends
And it never ends
No, it never ends
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
No sir, well, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat
We're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide, you have made it harder
Just to go on
And why, all the possibilities
Well, I was wrong
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel
When you're not here?
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built
When you were here
I still try holding onto silly things
I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities
I'm sure you've heard
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
Now I can't trust myself
With anything but this
And that's what you get
There's an empty room at the end of the hall
And it's begging to swallow you whole
Each step you take
Makes it easier to fall on your face
Each tear you fake
Makes it easier to see straight through you now
And you're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love
So you hang yourself from stolen dreams
And under the table you hide every stain
Each step you take
Getting closer
Makes it easier to fall on your face
Each death you fake
Getting closer
Makes it easier to love this way now
You're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love
Watch it disappear
The dream you hold so dear
Let it fade, let it fade now
You're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
You're my number one
You're my golden star
I look at Earth from here
Still you don't seem so far
But you will never know
(You will never know)
Oh you will never know
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Do you think of me?
And do you wonder
If we could ever be residing under
Because we will never know
(We will never know)
Until i see you show through
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
I wish i could tell you how i feel
And show you what's inside of me is real
Don't know what i'm waiting for
Can't explain it anymore, yeah
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
No, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh, i would never admit that i
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
I love,
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
I love,
Oh oh oh oh ooh oh oh
You were my conscience
So solid, now you're like water
And we started drowning
Not like we'd sink any farther
But I let my heart go
It's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one
And come back for the hope that you've stolen
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours
I'm only human
I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain
Despite what you're always preaching
Call me a traitor
I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling
(Calling, calling)
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours
Well, you thought of strength and solutions
But I like the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose it
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well, now that you're gone the world
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
'cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lay awake, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And theres nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let go
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure
Its getting closer now
Oh star fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade.
And I won't let you fall away.
From me.
You will never fade away from me.
And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade away.
I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away from me,
You will never...
Too alarming now, to talk about
Take your pictures down, and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence say it aloud
Use that evidence race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Kudos my hero
Leaving all the best
You got my hero
One that's on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
Things are looking up, oh, finally
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me
We always pull through, oh, when we try
I'm always wrong but you're never right
Oh, you're never right
Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for
Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted, 'most everything
That I would have died for just yesterday, just yesterday
Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for
God knows the world doesn't need another band
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
But what a waste it would've been
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost have give up
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Honestly, can you believe we crossed
The world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, no, oh
It's not a dream anymore, no, oh, oh, oh
It's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for
I can't believe we almost have give up
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
We're just getting started
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
I can't believe we almost have give up
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Where to go I had no idea
26.10 was the price to pay
A messed up kid with no ideals at all
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away
I remember this young guy died and I took his part
He got far too many stitches on his pretty face
Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious
I was looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, there're only doing just fine
I don't wanna stay in place no more, see
Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine
long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might
Something always told me us two would be serious
I am looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
What a shame
We all became such fragile, broken things
A memory remains just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
So let the flames begin
So let the flames begin
Oh glory, oh glory
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is what will be, oh glory
Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret, such selfishness
My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all and
Growing beneath it all and
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be, oh glory
Reaching as I sink down into light
Reaching as I sink down into light
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
Well, I won't,
Be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
And I know,
I've said all this so that you've heard it, all before,
The trick is,
Getting you to think that all this was your idea,
And that it,
Is everything that you've ever wanted out of here
love's not a competition,
But I'm winning
I'm not,
Sure what's truly altruistic, anymore,
'Cause every,
Good thing that I do is listed,
and you're keeping score,
Well, love's not a competition,
But I'm winning,
Well, love's not a competition,
But I'm winning,
Or, at least I thought I was,
But there's no way of knowing,
At least I thought I was,
But there's no way of knowing
You know what it's like when you're new to the game,
But I'm not
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you,
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
(Love's not a competition, but I'm winning)
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you, anymore
(Love's not a competition, but I'm winning)
Well, I won't,
be the one to disappoint you, anymore
I won't,
Pink Flowers in her body
Bubble gown floats
I see you and you loved me
Our gaze met
This is more than a novel
To me this is forever
This sit is for you, it just did
You were mad
I was sad
We went out, we always did
She wanted to be alone
At times, we don't understand her
We send gifts, she receive
When she sleeps, we come
If she forgets, we invite
The water gives good things
I knew you and I'm familiar
That was long ago, we're aware
We study and make steps
Making steps to get you
In this small house,
We were not tired
The fence extends our hard work
And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time
Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
I opened up my life to you
I told you everything I knew
You listened so close, late too
You listened so close, when love was just a way out
But you're going deaf now
Yeah, you turned your head around
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear, I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear you're without me now
You blew up the world I built for us
Destroyed our secret universe
Threw out the trust I put in you
Making me feel like I've been used
And now I'm reminded
That I was just blinded
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear you're without me now
I'm doing fine
You'll be alright
Maybe you'll think of me tonight (hello)
You're doing fine
And I'll be alright
Just give me time, yeah
Hello, hello
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello
Just pick up the phone
I don't wanna hear you're doing fine now
Don't wanna hear I'm without you now
I'm without you now
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
Please speak softly
For they will hear us
And they'll find out
Why we don't trust them
Speak up dear
'Cause I cannot hear you
I need to know
Why we don't trust them
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
And tell me how
I've lost my power
Were can I turn?
'Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty
I'm so unsure of
Tell me why
I feel so alone
'Cause I need to know
To whom do I own
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
And tell me how
I've lost my power
I thought
That we'd make it
Because you said
That we'd make it through
And when
All security fails
Will you be there
To help me through?
Explain to me
This conspiracy against me
And tell me how
I've lost my power, how?
We still live in the same town, well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you
Your days are numbered at 24
And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you
We're not getting any younger
And I won't look back 'cause there's no use
It's time to move forward
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
I've got no time for feeling sorry
I tried not to think of what might happen
When your reality it finally cuts through
Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road
The worst part is that this, this could be you
You know it too, you can't run from your shame
You're not getting any younger
Time keeps passing by but you waited awake
It's time to roll over
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
I've got no time for feeling sorry
And all the best lies
They are told with fingers tied
So cross them tight, won't you promise me tonight?
If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
I've got no time, got no time
I feel no sympathy, you lived inside a cave
You barely get by the rest of us
You're trying, there's no need to apologize
Got no time
I've got no time for feeling sorry
Take this time to realize
that you always shed your eyes
in the midst of trail
and everything is always right
and i think that its time
this battle must be won
but you push it aside
push it aside pretend that its gone
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
take this time to realize
that you always force a smile
in the midst of trial
and everything is always right
and i think that its time
this battle must be won
but you push it aside
push it aside pretend that its gone
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
and it never ends
it never ends
and it never ends
no it never ends
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
this circle never ends
and its time you just face it dont pretend
that its over
(The title of this song is Pressure)
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
'Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lay awake, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home
Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone, feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let them go
Somethings I'll never know, and I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
And if you're listening, I miss you.
And if you hear me now, I need you.
Where did you go?
'Cause you're not gone
Everyone knows that something's wrong
The wires were cut and I'm alone
I know we're getting closer
I know you're coming back for me this time
This time.
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
And it's okay, there's always another day.
Your voice comes in and now it's fading,
I can't believe this is so frustrating.
'Cause you never seem to understand
And you always slip straight through your hands
And how does it feel to be alone?
I know we're getting closer
I know you're coming back for me this time
This time.
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
And it's okay, there's always another day.
If you ever find what you were looking for
I will be waiting there, I will be there
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well, it's a shame I'm a dream
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white reruns
That escaped from the mouth, oh, oh
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
And all of our favorite parts
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I climb, I slip, I fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love
And I, I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way
I climb, I slip, I fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love
And I, I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way
I climb, I slip, I fall
Into your empty hands
But I lay here all alone
Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out, out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, no no
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Call me over
Tell me how you got so far
And never making a single sound
I'm not used to it
But I can learn
There's nothing to it
I've never been happier
Never been happier
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, oh no
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling (I've got a feeling)
That you would sing it back to me
You would sing it back to me
No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, oh no
No one (no one) is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
And when it rains
On this side of town it touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And convinced yourself that it's not the reason
You don't see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
And when it rains
Will you always find an escape?
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And you'll sleep 'til May and you'll say
That you don't want to see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
Take your time
Take my time
Take these chances to turn it around
(Take your time)
Just take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around
(Take my)
Just turn it around
And oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh I need an ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
You can take your time
I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
And with my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry
With words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me, yeah
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence?
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole
Lock the doors
'Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war, we live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence?
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole
Tower over me
Tower over me
And I'll take the truth at any cost
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I Will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause theres no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
[X2]
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Into Your Empty hands
but I Lay Here All alone
I scraped my knees when I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
Turn it off in all my spite
In all my spite, I'll turn it off
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
The tragedy it seems an ending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking shortcuts in for solutions
Just to come out the hero
Well, I can see behind the curtain
The world's cranking, turning so wrong
The way we're working
Towards a goal, that's not existent
It's not existent but we just keep believing
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
Just turn it off in all my spite
In all my spite, I'll turn it off
Just turn it off again, again, again, yeah
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm gonna go on
Living like I never met you
And it will feel wrong at first
But I think I can forget you
Ignore the fact that we sleep no more then 3 feet apart
I feel you now your all around me, underneath me
You're all around me, underneath me
Well how was I to know
That what we carved in stone
Would be so temporary
Well how was I to know
That my first crack in luck
Would not be the last
Wont be the last
It's in the air now
Bitter tears and broken hearts
We're Teenagers we count the years, we think were smart
But were not, we don't know anything
So don't ask me where ill go
Cause frankly I don't know
And I don't give a shit
Why must we all make sense
Oh I just wont make sense
For once I'm just gonna live
I'm just gonna live
Teenagers (we don't know anything)
Teenagers (we don't know anything) ohhhhh
Well how was I to know
That what we carved in stone
Would be so temporary(i'm gonna go on)
Why must we all make sense
Oh I just won't make sense
For once I'm just gonna live
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Tonight, we can be as one tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
And bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die, yeah
I wipe the tears from your eyes
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your bloodshot eyes
(Tonight, tonight)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(The real battle just begun)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(To claim the victory Jesus won on...)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Don't come looking for me
'Cause I'll be right here with the words you said
Looking for the words to say,
You know what you did, you know
And how can anybody,
Forget the promise that you made
'Cause this is how the promise breaks
I always knew that you'd fall through,
And now, you're proof.
[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
I knew it would not last.
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless.
Don't tell me lies,
Just say goodbye.
Now you're running from me
So cool, so scared of what you might've said
No one has ever looked away,
'Cause we know what you did, we know.
If I told anybody, then we would soon forget your name
You would never have a place,
I always knew you'd fall through
And now, your proof...
[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
I knew it would not last.
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies,
Just say goodbye.
Please don't say to much, ohhh
I think we've heard enough,
From you, ohhh!
[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
I knew it would not last.
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
Make it quick, make it painless!
Don't tell me lies,
Just say goodbye.
Don't tell me lies,
The grass wasn't green enough here
After watering it with my tears
I'm not sure where you went
Now we are, just past tense
The snakes, they are slithering in
Chasing me to my end
I can't say where that is
I'm running again
And, when I get there
It won't be far enough
I'm a renegade
It's in my blood
If ever I get there
It won't be fast enough
I'm a renegade
I always was
And, your spark never lit up a fire
Though I tried and tried and tried
The wind came through your lungs
A hurricane from your tongue
I'll keep your secrets with me
Right behind my teeth
Your anger, your anchor
But I'll sail much further on
Ah, ah, on
And, when I get there
it won't be far enough
I'm a renegade
It's in my blood
If ever I get there
It won't be fast enough
I'm a renegade
I always was
I'll keep running
I'll keep running again
keep running
I'll keep running
running, running
Keep running, running
running
Oh, when I get there
it won't be far enough
I'm a renegade
It's in my blood
If ever I get there
It won't be fast enough
I'm a renegade
It's in my blood
I'm a renegade
I can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well, maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point it to the mirror
If God's the game that you're playing
Well, we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point it to the mirror
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
Maybe if my heart stops beating
It won't hurt this much
And never will I have to answer
Again to anyone
Please don't get me wrong
Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you
One day you'll get sick of
Saying that everything's alright
And by then I'm sure I'll be pretending
Just like I am tonight
Please don't get me wrong
Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you
Let this go, let this go
But I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you
I'll never let this go
I can't find the words to tell you
I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me, this is what I need, please?
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you?
I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own
But what would it be without you?
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is your's
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is your's
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is your's
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart, my heart is your's
My heart is your's
My heart is your's
I'm in the business of misery
Let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass
That's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time
Before we all run out
When I thought he was mine
She caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I can't lie
He was the only one for me
Two weeks and we caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
Second chances they don't ever matter
People never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more
I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness
We're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey but I'm passing up
Now look this way
Well there's a million other girls
Who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible
To get to who
They want and what they like
It's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
I watched his wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken, hope embraced
And have I told you?
I'm not going 'cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you, let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you
We've learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below
And no one ever has to know
That inside we're broken
I try to patch things up again
To count my tears and kill these fears
But have I told you, have I?
I'm not going 'cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you, let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you
It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
Oh why?
We'll get it right this time
Let's leave this all behind
Oh why?
We'll get it right this time
It's not faith if you're using your eyes
Oh why?
Now I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
I don't want to run from
Anything uncomfortable
I just want, no
I just need this pain to end right here
I'm not going 'cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you, let you give up on a miracle
'Cause it might save you
Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you
It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
If you use your eyes
I slipped down the stairs
Tripped over your fragile ego
I slipped down the hallway
Right into the web you'd woven
And you never said that you meant to save someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me you wanted to love someone
Somebody just like me
You locked all the doors
You felt it was safer that way
You put up a wall
And now your whole world is caving in
And you never said that you meant to save someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me you wanted to love someone
Somebody just like me
You swallow your pride
As you were left behind counting stars
To name your lies
You let the lane push you away
And now you’re drowning in the ways
And you never said that you meant to save someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me you wanted to love someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me you wanted to love someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me you wanted to love someone
Somebody just like
Somebody just like
Somebody just like me
And you never said that you meant to save someone
Like me
Down to you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should've never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should've never thought of you
Of you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No, I don't know what I want
You got it, you got it, some kind of magic
Hypnotic, hypnotic, you're leaving me breathless
I hate this, I hate this, you're not the one I believe in
With God as my witness
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should've never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should've never thought of you
Of you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No, I don't know what I want!
Don't know what I want
But I know it's not you
Keep pushing and pulling me down
When I know in my heart it's not you
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should've never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should've never thought of you
I knew
I know in my heart it's not you, I knew
But now I know what I want, I want, I want
Oh no, I've should have never thought!
I feel happy, I feel sad, I feel like running through the walls
I'm overjoyed, I'm undecided, I don't know who I am
Well maybe I'm not perfect, at least I'm working on it
22 is like the worst idea that I have ever had
It's too much pain, it's too much freedom, what should I do with this?
It's not the way you plan it, it's how you make it happen
Yeah, it's how you make it happen
It's such a cold, cold world (hello cold world) and I can't get out
So I'll just make the best of everything I'll never have
Such a cold, cold world (hello cold world) and it's got me down
But I'll get right back up as long as it spins around
Hello cold world
Girls and boys keep lining up to see if they can measure up
They look good and they feel wild, but it won't never be enough
You say you're really hurting, at least you're feeling something
We can hope and we can pray that everything would work out fine
You can't just stay out on your knees, the revolution is outside
You wanna make a difference, get out and go and get it
Whoah, get out and go and get it
It's such a cold, cold world (hello cold world) and I can't get out
So I'll just make the best of everything I'll never have
Such a cold, cold world (hello cold world) and it's got me down
But I'll get right back up as long as it spins around
Hello cold world
Don't need my eyes open
Oh I, I just want to feel something
It's such a cold, cold world (hello cold world) and I can't get out
So I'll just make the best of everything I'll never have
Such a cold, cold world (hello cold world) and it's got me down
But I'll get right back up as long as it spins around (spins around)
Oh, whoah oh oh,
Oh, whoah oh oh, hello cold world
Oh, whoah oh oh,
Somehow every thing's gonna fall right into place
If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
If only time flew like a dove
Well God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming, hallelujah
We'll make it last forever
Holding onto patience wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
Well, we could watch it fly and just keep looking up
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming, hallelujah
We'll make it last forever
And we've got time on our hands
Got nothing but time on our hands
Got nothing but, got nothing but
Got nothing but time on our hands
This time we're not giving up
Oh, let's make it last forever
Screaming, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Just talk yourself up and tear yourself down
You've hit your one wall, now find a way around
Well, what's the problem? You've got a lot of nerve
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, no, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, no, you can't run away
You wouldn't
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
I'm not so naive, my sorry eyes can see
The way you fight shy of almost everything
Well, if you give up, you'll get what you deserve
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, no, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No, you can't run away, no, you can't run away
You wouldn't
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don't you stand up? Be a man about it
Fight with your bare hands about it now
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay, well did you?
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
I'm sitting in a room made up of only big white walls
And in the hall, there are people looking through
The window in the door
They know exactly what we're here for
Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from
Don't you know by now? You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style
You'll go out in style
If you let me, I could
I'd show you how to build your fences
Set restrictions, separate from the world
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame the limelight
Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night
So smile
Yeah, yeah, you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in
Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said, let's see you walk it
Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said, let's see you walk it
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide, yeah, oh, oh, open wide
Yeah, oh, oh, open wide, 'cause you'll go out in style
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault
When no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love
But you don't know what love is
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault
When no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
These scars, they will not fade away
No one cares to talk about it, talk about it
'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
How can I decide what?s right?
When you?re clouding up my mind
I can?t win your losing fight
All the time
Nor could I ever own what's mine
When you?re always taking sides
But you won?t take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it?s hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can?t see
What kind of man that you are
If you?re a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, I love you so)
On my own
(But my thoughts you can't decode)
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
Do you see what we?ve done?
We?re gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we?ve done?
We?re gonna make such fools of ourselves
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
I've got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I've got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
Crush, crush, crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four)
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one, two
I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this
If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
'Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
Crush, crush, crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four)
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one, two
I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this now
Rock and roll, baby
Don't you know
That we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby
We're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby
We're all alone now?
Give me something to sing about
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one, two
I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than
No ohh
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one, two
I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than
More than this
Well, she lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure
The lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick and the clock struck twelve
Well, make sure to build your heart
Brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
And we'll bury the castle, bury the castle
Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
When i was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart
And i watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day i promised
Id never sing of love
If it does not exist
But darlin,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
Maybe i know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And i've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk, but
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know your leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Oh---
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh no, I just keep on falling
Back to the same old
And where?s hope when misery comes crawling?
Oh my way, hey
With your faith you?ll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
You kill off this common sense of mind
It takes acquired minds to taste
To taste, to taste this wine
You can?t down it with your eyes
So we don?t need the headlines
We don?t need the headlines, we just want
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
Everybody sing like it?s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it?s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Right now, you?re the only reason
I?m not letting go, oh
And time out if everyone?s worth pleasing
Well ha ha, you?ll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
To kill off their finite state of mind
It takes acquired minds to taste
To taste, to taste this wine
You can?t down it with your eyes
So we don?t need the headlines
No, we don?t want your headlines, we just want
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
Everybody sing like it?s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it?s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it?s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure?
Alright, so you think you?re ready?
Okay, then you say this with me, go
We were born for this
We were born for this
Alright, so you think you?re ready?
Okay, then you say this with me, go
We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for
We were born for
Everybody sing like it?s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Everybody live like it?s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it?s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this
I don't mean to run
But every time you come around
I Feel more alive, than ever
And I guess it's too much
Maybe we're too young
And I don't even know what's real
But I know I never
Wanted anything so bad
I've never wanted anyone so bad
If I let you love me
Be the one adored
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
(If I say)
Be the one adored
(It's okay)
Would you go all the way?
(You can stay)
Be the one I'm looking for
Help me come back down
I'm high above the clouds
You know I'm suffocating
But I blame this town
Why do I deny
The things that burn inside?
Down deep I'm barely breathing
But you just see a smile
And I don't wanna let this go
Really I just want to know
If I let you love me
Be the one adored
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
(If I say)
Be the one Adored
(It's okay)
Would you go all the way?
(You can stay)
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
Be the one adored
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
(If I say)
See the one adored
(It's okay)
Would you go all the way?
(You can stay)
I'm not angry anymore
Well, sometimes I am
I don't think badly of you
Well, sometimes I do
It depends on the day,
The extent of all my worthless rage
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not bitter anymore
I'm syrupy sweet
I'll rot your teeth down to the core
If i'm really happy...
Depends on the day
If I wake up in a giddy haze
Well i'm not angry
I'm not totally angry
I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken
Hope embraced
And have I told you?
I'm not going
'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you
We've learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below
And no one ever has to know
That inside, we're broken
I tried to patch things up again
To cut my tears and kill these fears
But have I told you, have I?
I'm not going
'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you
It's not faith if
If you use your eyes
Oh why
We'll get it right this time (this time)
Let's leave this all behind
Oh why
We'll get it right this time
It's not faith if you're using your eyes
Oh why
I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
I don't want to run from anything uncomfortable
I just want, no
I just need this pain to end right here
I'm not going
'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
'Cause it might save you
Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you
It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
If you use your eyes
Now I can move on to facing,
Big girl problems,
No more high school drama,
Graduated with honors.
And I'm drinkin' coffee while I,
Read the paper,
I've been savin' money, eatin',
Only top ramen.
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Now I get a holiday,
Wherever I go I might stay.
I don't plan on coming back,
Ever if I can help it.
Now I get a holiday,
I think I'll stay,
Holiday, think I'll stay.
And if you're listening, I miss you.
And if you hear me now, I need you.
Where did you go?
'Cause you're not gone
Everyone knows that something's wrong
The wires were cut and I'm alone
I know we're getting closer
I know you're coming back for me this time
This time.
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
And it's okay, there's always another day.
Your voice comes in and now it's fading,
I can't believe this is so frustrating.
'Cause you never seem to understand
And you always slip straight through your hands
And how does it feel to be alone?
I know we're getting closer
I know you're coming back for me this time
This time.
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
And it's okay, there's always another day.
If you ever find what you were looking for
I will be waiting there, I will be there
And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
What a shame, what a shame, we all remain
Such fragile broken things
A beauty half betrayed
Butterflies, the punctured wings
Still there are darkened places
Deep in my heart
What once was blazing light, now
There's a tiny spark
Oh glory
Come and find me [x2]
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until
You find me.
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me
Here, oh glory
Here
What a mess, what a mystery we've made
With love in other simple things
Learning to forgive
Even when it was an odd mistake
I question every human
Who won't look in my eyes
Scars left on my heart formed
Patterns in my mind
Oh glory
You will find me
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until
You find me.
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me
Here, oh glory
Like the moon we borrow our light
I am nothing but a shadow in the night
So if you light me I will catch fire
Why, do you care what people think,
Are you hooked up to their leash?
You know, anklebiters!
Ate up your personality
Try, to remember how it felt,
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters!
Chew up, and spit out someone else
And fall in love with yourself
Because,
Someday,
You're gonna be the only one you've got
Someday,
You're gonna be the only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world
And leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday,
You're gonna be the only one you've got
What, do you actually expect,
A broken mirror to reflect?
You know, anklebiters!
Gave you a false perception
Why do I defend your ignorance (Come on, come on)
Oh why do I defend the state you're in (Come on, come on)
You should, fall in love with yourself
Oh again
Fall in love with yourself
Because,
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Someday,
You're gonna be the only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world
And leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Anklebiters!
Anklebiters!
(Someday you're gonna be alone!)
Anklebiters!
Let ‘em have their time,
Sit back and let ‘em shine.
Let ‘em rise and rise,
'Cause one day they're gonna fall.
Let ‘em soak in the sun,
Sit back and let ‘em have their fun.
Let ‘em spill their guts,
'Cause one day they're gonna slip on ‘em.
Well I could be angry,
But you're not worth a fight,
And besides, I'm moving on.
I've counted to ten,
And I'm feeling alright,
And besides, I'm moving on.
Let ‘em play their songs,
Let ‘em say what's right and wrong.
Let ‘em do their thing,
'Cause it'll never be you and me.
We got our own style,
We got our way of living life.
If they can't get down,
Well, we don't need them around.
Well I could be angry,
But you're not worth a fight,
And besides, I'm moving on.
I've counted to ten,
And now I'm feeling alright,
And besides, I'm moving,
Yes, I'm moving,
So what if I don't have,
A lot to talk about?
I shut my mouth and keep it,
Locked until it counts.
And what if I don't ever want,
To leave my house?
Sit on the couch while,
All my friends are going out.
(Oh), you should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me.
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
But never get too lonely.
I'll make the journey down the hall,
Back to my room.
And come on time, and let it rot,
Inside it's tomb, (inside it's tomb).
See, I ain't one to climb,
Some social attitude.
So shine your light,
At all the cool kids will abuse.
(Oh), you should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me.
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
But never get too lonely.
(We could be alone, together).
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh.
I'm alone, now I'm in love,
With you alone.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Come, be alone, and be in love,
With me alone.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh.
You should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me.
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
But never get too lonely.
You should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me.
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
I'm writing the future
I'm writing it out loud.
We don't talk about the past,
We don't talk about the past, now.
So I'm writing the future,
I'm leaving a key here.
Something won't always be missing,
It won't always feel empty, here.
Ohhhh
Hmmmm
Just think of the future,
And think of your dreams.
You'll get away from here,
You'll get away eventually.
So just think of your future,
Think of a new life.
Don't get lost in the memories,
Keep your eyes on a new prize.
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
I've got a life out there somewhere, it's waiting
Lined with palmtrees and only new faces
If I could look past the present and get there
Well baby it's worth the shot
Just enough time to plan an escape route
I put my map on the wall in the basement
Not quite a victory to run from your problems
But it's the only plan that I got
It's the only plan that I got
And if you try to find me now (whoa oh oh oh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
That's whats going on
That's whats going on
Cross the state line and called out a warning
Not too long now I'll breathe California
Paid my dues and I tried to be loyal
But now I'm done with all that
Where I'm going is everyone's story
We want you left, we're left to start over
It's not a question of who are we really
It's who we want to be
And if you try to find me now (whoa oh oh oh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's whats going on
All that's in between
A brand new life and I this time
But time has not been kind
It's not been kind to me
It's winding backwards
Time has not been kind
It's crawling by so slowly
And if you try to find me now (whoa oh oh oh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's whats going on
And if you try to find me now (whoa oh oh oh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
Been through the ringer a couple times
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too
The three of us were initiates
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal
Hollowed, out and
Filled up, with hate
All we, wanted, was you to give us a break
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our Riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence
Oh oh, tonight we want to have fun
No one's the same as they used to be
Much as we try to pretend
No ones as innocent as could be
We all fall short, we all sin
But now we aren't looking backward
We won't try racing the dead
We only see whats in front of us
We only see straight ahead
Hollowed, out and
Filled up, with hate
All we, wanted, was you to give us a break
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our Riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence
Oh oh, tonight we want to have fun
Get in my car and we'll drive around
We'll make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it out
And we get along so smoothly
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our Riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence
Oh oh, tonight we want to have fun
We're driving fast in my car
We're driving fast in my car
No we're not looking for violence
Oh we're driving fast in my car
I told 'em all where to stick it,
I left town with a dime to my name,
Said "I'm done with all of my fake friends,
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game."
Got my band in a light that won't go out,
Been burnin' since the day I was born.
So I cry just little then I'll dry my eyes,
‘Cause I'm not a little girl no more.
Some of us have to grow up sometimes,
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind.
Some of us have to grow up sometimes,
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind.
Stood in line for so long just to picket,
Something I will never understand.
Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?
Won't you just admit you don't care?
And, lady, I don't want your pity,
So don't feel sad for me,
I've got a lover, would die for, a song to sing,
Maybe we're both just living out our dream.
And some of us have to grow up sometimes,
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind.
Some of us have to grow up sometimes,
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind.
We get along for the most part,
Me and reality, the light and the dark.
And we live alone in two different worlds,
Me and a fantasy, you and your memories.
But we get along,
(We get along),
For the most part,
(We get along),
Yeah, for the most part,
(We get along),
For the most part.
(We get along).
We get along,
We get along.
Some of us have to grow up sometimes,
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind.
(Leave you behind).
Some of us have to grow up sometimes,
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind.
(Leave you behind).
Some of us have to grow up sometimes,
(We grow up, never grow old),
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind.
Some of us have to grow up sometimes,
(We grow up, never grow old),
