Robert Joseph "Bob" Vila (b. June 20, 1946) is an American home improvement television show host known for This Old House (1979–1989), Bob Vila's Home Again (1990–2005), and Bob Vila (2005–2007).
Vila, a Cuban American native of Miami, Florida, received a Bachelor degree in entomology from the University of Florida in 1969. After graduating, he served as a volunteer in the Peace Corps, working in Panama from 1971 to 1973.
Vila was hired as the host of This Old House in 1979 after receiving the "Heritage House of 1978" award by Better Homes and Gardens, for his restoration of a Victorian Italianate house in Newton, Massachusetts. On This Old House, Vila appeared with carpenter Norm Abram as they, and others, renovated houses. In 1989 he left the show under controversial circumstances. Some cite the reason as being a series of conflicts with This Old House executive producer Russell Morash arising from his involvement with outside commercial endorsements, while others cite a specific instance- Vila's commercial work for New Jersey-based Rickel and the subsequent retaliatory pulling of underwriting from Rickel's competitor Home Depot and lumber supplier Weyerhaeuser- as the reason behind his departure. He was replaced by Steve Thomas.
My yesterday has taken my tomorrows
My empty heart can't take no more
It's hard to live with no one to follow
Where's the hope that I had before
I watch the seasons fade
My face still out of place
Each step, I can't deny, I'm in trouble
Tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Somebody like you, tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Please, tell me it's almost over
So many things in this room remind me
Of being here next to you
Well, these scares consume my mind and body
Where's the hope that I once knew
I watch the seasons fade my face still out of place
Each step I take I can't deny I'm in trouble
Tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Somebody like you, tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Please, tell me it's almost over
I'm sitting and listening
Laughing and wondering
I'm watching the stars go by
Everything reminds me of you
And I can't get you off my mind
How can I live? How can I live?
How can I live with out you in my life?
How can I live without somebody like you?
Somebody like you, tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Please, tell me it's almost over
How can I live without you?
When I'm watching the stars go by
How can I live without you?
I can't stop thinking, my hearts still beaten
The sun is set the rain has passed
Who knew tomorrow wouldn't last
I wear the cross that bares your name
To wash away all the pain
Beneath the scars I'm torn apart
Alone to mend this broken heart
In the next life
We can be together
This time forever
In the next life
Now there's no more goodbyes
Because you left me helpless on the other side
I'll find you there in the next life
Can't rest in peace when I'm too cold
Beyond a world of dreams untold
There's a place where we can be together
To live and love only blue skies
Your a star that still shines bright
My guiding light to get me home
In the next life
We can be together
This time forever
In the next life
Now there's no more goodbyes
Because you left me helpless on the other side
I'll find you there in the next life
This time I'm going to make things right
I'm going to make it up to you
I'm going to learn from my mistakes
But inside I'm so lost without you
As I draw my last breath
As I close my eyes
I know the next thing I'll see is you
In the next life
We can be together
This time forever
In the next life
Now there's no more goodbyes
You said when you left me helpless on the other side
You'll find me there in the next life
In the next life I'll find you there
In the next life I'll find you there
Take a good look at me now
Do you still recognize me
Am I so different inside
This world is trying to change me
And I admit I don't want to change with it
And I admit I can't go on like this anymore
Erase this monster I've become
Forgive me for all the damage done
It's not over
Say it's not over
I'm begging for mercy
I'm only the monster you made me
I'm better alone now
See I'm torn from my mistakes
And I stop believing that I could ever make things change
How much can I take
When I know that it hurts you
How long can I wait
When I can't go on like this anymore
Erase this monster I've become
Forgive me for all the damage done
It's not over
Say it's not over
I'm begging for mercy
I'm only the monster you made me
Because who I am
Isn't who I used to be
And I'm not invincible
I'm not indestructible
I'm only human
Can't you see
The beauty in me
Take a good look at me now
Can't you see I've changed
Erase this monster I've become
Forgive me for all the damage done
It's not over
Say it's not over
I'm begging for mercy
I'm only the monster you made me
Far away through the pain
I hear the angels calling
Far away through the pain
I see my demons falling
Far away through the pain
I hear the angels calling
Far away through the pain
I see my demons falling
Erase this
Erase this
Open your eyes
See through the pain
Remember how we used to be
Before you let it go
Let it go
I remember lying right here with you
Staring up at the night of the summer moon
Planning out the days until the end of our lives
Didn't sleep at all those nights
There was nothing we couldn't do
Nothing left in the world we had to prove
How did we end up like we did
Both alone and tossing in an empty beds
You say our hearts are still aching
But I say it's not too late
Open your eyes
See through the pain
Remember how we used to be
Before you let it go
Because all our wrongs can't be made right
Without you I'm half the man I used to be
You always were the better part of me
There was a time when our glass was full
Than you would push and I would start pull
Spilling every ounce of anything good
If I could take it back I would
Because with you right by my side
You got to admit it was a beautiful ride
Two hearts beat until their broken
And now there's so much still unspoken
It's obvious I'm still breaking
Tell me it's not too late
Open your eyes
See through the pain
Remember how we used to be
Before you let it go
Because all our wrongs can't be made right
Without you I'm half the man I used to be
Before I break
I give you my word
This time I will change
We were always so good together
Won't you let it go
Won't you let it go
Open your eyes
See through the pain
Remember how we used to be
Before you let it go
Because all our wrongs can't be made right
Without you I'm half the man I used to be
We live with today
Only matters what's inside
(You know)
Everything comes and goes no matter where you hide
I won't let you take everything that I deserve
Timing is the melody behind every word
So get in where you fit in
Time to put in on the line
We're going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm bleeding till the last man's standing
We're going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm taking you down
I'm taking you down
(You down)
I'm the last man standing
Last man standing
(Now)
Practice what you preach before you pray until you burn
Scratch until I bleed before I give you back your tongue
It's my time to be on top
See I'm breaking down your walls
You better keep your cards close before I make you fall
So get in where you fit in time to put in on the line
We're going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm bleeding till the last man's standing
We're going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm taking you down
I'm taking you down
(You down)
I'm the last man standing
Last man standing
Now!
I will break you down
Head to head it's all or nothing
Hands on bound
I've been waiting way too long
To take you down
I will be the last man standing
So get in where you fit in time to put in on the line
We're going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm bleeding till the last man's standing
We're going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm taking you down
I'm the last man standing
Were going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm bleeding till the last man standing
Were going head to head
Can you handle it?
I'm taking you down
I'm the last man standing
I'm the last man standing
Who's standing?
Taking you down
Whose standing?
Taking you down
I know you hear what I hear
I put speakers on your brain
I know you see what I see
Because I wrote it on your face
I'll feed off your misfortune
Until there's nothing left to save
I'll bury you on sunday
And put roses on your grave
Set in stone right now
It's only a matter of time
Your never going to take me alive
Going to find another way survive
It's do or die
It's me against the world
Your never going to take me alive
Going to find another way to survive
It's do or die
It's me against the world
I know you feel what I feel
Because we're all built the same
And in the end there's nothing
Only fingerprints and pain
The echoes of misfortune
Nothing can be saved
Bury me on sunday
And put roses on my grave
Set in stone right now
It's only a matter of time
Your never going to take me alive
Going to find another way survive
It's do or die
It's me against the world
Your never going to take me alive
Going to find another way to survive
It's do or die
It's me against the world
It's getting complicated staying alive
With all this love and hatred bottled inside
And I'm bottled inside
It's just me against the world
It's just me against the world
It's just me against the world
It's just me against the world
Your never going to take me alive
Going to find another way survive
It's do or die
It's me against the world
Your never going to take me alive
Going to find another way to survive
It's do or die
I know your too hot to handle
But you're the best I ever had
Inside you hope for a scandal
I love good girl gone bad
So tell me do you want to play
So bring your daisy chain
Come on girl on your knees
Bow down like your starting to pray
Come on little girl when your riding me
Everybody knows how your sex is good
So get up and come over
Get up were not done
Everybody wants to ride
Damn girl you can play the field
You're a pornstar girl and the truths revealed
So get up if you got something to say
The night is young if you want to stay
Tell me do you want to play
So bring your daisy chain
Come on girl on your knees
Bow down like your starting to pray
Come on little girl when your riding me
Everybody knows how your sex is good
So get up and come over
Get up were not done
Everybody wants to ride

Isn't knew to you
Do you want to play
Come on get up girl
And give it to me
Do you want to ride the chain
So get up and come over
Get up were not done
Everybody wants to ride
Everybody wants to ride
So get up and come over

Everybody wants to ride
So bring your daisy chain
Come on girl on your knees

Get up were not done
Everybody wants to ride
So get up and come over
Get up were not done
Everybody wants to ride
So get up and come over
Get up were not done
Everybody wants to ride
Why do I live my life
Inside this hell I'm into
Deeper than the darkest ocean
It's pouring down on me
Here we are once again
The truth is setting in
I'm broken and betrayed
Just tell me your leaving
Before I finally cave in
Take away this pain
It's pulling me under
Your dragging me under
Somebody save me
Break away from your twisted ways
That collide with entangled hangover
The lies that always seem to end
With your poison in my veins
Here we are once again
The truth is setting in
I'm broken and betrayed
Just tell me your leaving
Before I finally cave in
Take away this pain
It's pulling me under
Your dragging me under
I don't want to look back
I just want to start again
I don't want to look back
I just want to start again
Without you
It's in my head
It's far inside me
It's in my head
All because of you
I'm broken and betrayed
Just tell me your leaving
Before I finally cave in
Take away this pain
It's pulling me under
Your dragging me under
I'm broken and betrayed
I'm broken and betrayed
And that's the price I pay
For breaking a lifeline
Spending a lifetime
I don't want to look back
I just want to start again
Without you
I don't want to look back
I just want to start again
All these spoken words,
And broken dreams.
This misery.
All that's good is gone in me.
With every breath,
I can't escape the pain, it's caving in.
I am just about to break.
Every time I close my eyes,
I can't escape these lies.
Will i make it through to the other side?
I can't breathe when I am suffocating.
Committed yesterday, now I am over my head.
I can't breathe when it's complicated.
It's falling down on me,
I send it back on you.
Get away. away, get away.
All these years I try,
N' nothings changed.
I'm about to break
I sacrificed myself.
With every breath,
I can't escape the pain.
This misery.
What's good is gone in me.
Every time I close my eyes,
I can't escape these lies.
Will i make it through to the other side?
I can't breathe when I am suffocating.
Committed yesterday, now I am over my head.
I can't breathe when it's complicated.
It's falling down on me,
I send it back on you.
I send it back on you.
I can't breathe when I am suffocating.
Committed yesterday, now I am over my head.
I can't breathe when it's complicated.
It's falling down on me,
I send it back on you.
It's complicated.
I'm been over my head still.
I am suffocating.
It's falling down on me.
I send it back on you.
That girl, She's a loaded gun
Gonna take 'em out take 'em one by one
She knows when she's dressed to kill
She'll put a bullet in your heart just to feel the thrill
She walks like she's walking on water
She moves like the Boss's Daughter
She rides like a '67 Chevy
In a drop top red and white and blue
Ohh what she does to me
With her long dark hair and her sexy thighs
Baby let me come inside
She's hell on heels
She turns my wheels
With her Devil smile and her Angel Eyes
And She's got me all hypnotized and she's hell on heels
That girl needs somebody like me
A real man born with a sex degree
I was raised be the Devil's own kin
Taught me that a good time was never a sin
And she walks like she's walking on water
She moves like the Boss's Daughter
She rides like a '67 Chevy
In a drop top red and white and blue
Ohh what she does to me
With her long dark hair and her sexy thighs
Baby let me come inside
She's hell on heels
She turns my wheels
With her Devil smile and her Angel Eyes
And She's got me all hypnotized and she's hell on heels
I love the way she moves those heels from hell
Lunch breaks lead to drinks in cheap hotels
I'm just another guy she'll burn inside her fire
I'd sell my soul for her desire
With her long dark hair and her sexy thighs
Baby let me come inside
She's hell on heels
She turns my wheels
With her Devil smile and her Angel Eyes
And She's got me all hypnotized
She's hell on heels
She's hell on heels
She's hell on heels
She's really got me with her Devil smile and her Angel eyes
She's got me all hypnotized
Don't say your not the one to blame
You dragged me through the darkness to soak up all the rain
And don't say you didn't know much better
When knew all along the price I payed
If I could change yesterday
I would take back the time I gave to you
Start over and rise from the black and blue
Don't say you were blind through all the silence
You led me through the violence and than you turned away
They say there's going to be forgiveness
But do you witness your unholy sickness
If I could change yesterday
I would take back the time I gave to you
Start over and rise from the black and blue
You deserve retribution
You have earned my revenge
And I have held my fist and clinched my fist long enough
I wont let myself fall over you again
If I could change yesterday
I would take back the time I gave to you
Start over and rise from the black and blue
If I could change yesterday
I would take back the time I gave to you
Start over and rise from the black and blue
I don't want to live in silence
Don't say your not to blame
Your lies are all the same
And nothing will ever change
I don't want to live in violence
Don't say your not to blame
I can feel the pain
With every little word you say
Well ashes to Ashes.
Love to dust.
Sure as the sun will shine,
And I was lost in lust.
Now I am looking in your eyes,
So black and so cold.
Your words don't mean nothing,
This game is so old.
Now my world is spinning faster and faster.
No drama instead,
Your words go over my head.
Let's stop hurting each other,
So we can be alright.
You're so perfect in bed,
But still you're fucked in the head.
Everything you say,
I can't take your lies.
I can't take your lies.
This is just another Romeo and Juliet.
I swallowed my pride.
And way too many times,
I left my heart wide open.
Now I can't take no more.
Now I guess some things
Are just not meant to be - like you and me.
Now my world is spinning faster and faster.
No drama instead,
Your words go over my head.
Let's stop hurting each other,
So we can be alright.
You're so perfect in bed,
But still you're fucked in the head.
Everything you say,
I can't take your lies.
I can't take your lies.
This is just another Romeo and Juliet.
Everything's spinning. We're falling faster than ever.
We're on a one way track to a tragic disaster.
No drama instead,
Your words go over my head.
Let's stop hurting each other,
So we can be alright.
You're so perfect in bed,
But still you're fucked in the head.
Everything you say,
I can't take your lies.
I can't take your lies.
You're everything i hate
You're everything i love
When everything that's right
Comes falling from above
You only wish you could erase
The walls that hold you down
Every second that is lost
Another moment that is found
Just save yourself don't let it slip away
Just save yourself tonight, stop the fight, cuz
Everything it's over
You think you got what it takes then get up
If you want it , i want it more
C'mon 3.2.1 we got 3 seconds to freedom
I'm the one who's singled out
You're the reason i'm up in arms
If ther's no turning back
Then show me where to start
Cuz you're still everything i hate
You're everything i love
Now who will save you
Now who will save you now
Don't let it slip away
Just save yourself tonight, stop the fight, cuz
Everything its over
You think you got what it takes then get up
If you want it , i want it more
C'mon 3.2.1 we got 3 seconds to...
Ain't no better time to hate the right now
Don't let it slip away before the walls come down
Save yourself tonight we only get one shot
we got 3 seconds to freedom
Just save yourself tonight, stop the fight, cuz
Everything its over
You think you got what it takes then get up
If you want it , i want it more
C'mon 3.2.1 we got 3 seconds to...
Turn back on the broken heartache
Some things are just meant to be
I still believe that we got a chance
Still believe that we got a chance to be
Too much is never enough and
Too little is never enough
Full speed got me looking out my rear view
I can’t go back
Chorus:
Goin’ 100 in a 55 and I don’t know why I’m still alive but I
Do what I can but I know I can’t take anymore
I still believe in this rock and roll
And I pray the music gonna save my soul
But till then I still believe some things are just meant to be
It's messed up but I got this mission
Drunk again wont remember anyway
She said it’s just a game boy
Don’t be gone don’t be gone for long
Ten years I’ve been doing this forever
Its all I know baby please don’t turn away
I know you don’t believe in me
But I do believe in you
Chorus
Interlude:
I’m still falling
Away from here
Away from here
I’m still falling
The wings are falling off
I can’t go back
I’m in too deep
Chorus x 2
I still believe
Where it begins, the color of your skin
Nothing's gonna change
Is it where you grew up?
You'll never know what they're gonna say
Tell me how to cope, burdened by the scope
Looking through your hands
Blame it on a world where a boy and girl
Can't understand
Can't understand
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
When's it gonna end, imaginary friend
No one knows your name
Never number one, never outrun what you defend
Show me where to go, tell me there is hope
It slips right through your hands
Living in a world where a boy and girl
Can't understand
Can't understand
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
For the rest of your life
For the rest of your days
You feel it inside in everywhere
For the rest of your life
For the rest of your days
You feel it inside in everywhere
For the rest of your life
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
A lesson, I give you all I had to give you
Wasted so many years of innocence
You burned the bridges, severed the ties
Betrayal within, now I say my goodbyes
Goodbye my friend
How did it end inside this living hell we're in
Goodbye my friend
Where do we go from here
I wish you well my friend
A lesson, I‘ve been down this road before
You wasted another chance to be something more
Walking misery, a trail of lies
Has come to end, now I say my goodbyes
Goodbye my friend
How did it end inside this living hell we're in
Goodbye my friend
Where do we go from here
I wish you well my friend
Goodbye my friend
How did it end inside this living hell we're in
Goodbye my friend
Where do we go from here
I wish you well my friend
Goodbye my friend
Why did it end
Goodbye my friend
Why did it end
Goodbye my friend
Where do we go from here
What is it for, when they tell you lies
Baby, what is it for
Got one foot out the door
Just like before when you been denied
Baby, just life before
I got your name
For all I know today
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
'cause you're giving me nothing
I'm so close, what is it for?
What is it for?
Just let it burn, don't keep it inside
Baby, just let it burn
Got one foot out the door
There's no return from passion or pride
Baby, there's no return
I got your name
For all I know today
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
'cause you're giving me nothing
I'm so close, what is it for?
What is it for?
What is it for?
Go live your life
Baby, what is it for
Got one foot out the door
What is it for?
Go live your life
Baby, what is it for
I got your name
For all I know today
For all I know today
For all I know today
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
'cause you're giving me nothing
I'm so close, what is it for?
What is it for?
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
Looking for more
I'm gonna fly away, what is it for?
A little more than life's been wasted
Since you went away, nothing's changed
We stick together, it won't last forever
So why is there so much pain?
I can't explain
This war I fought without you
It's all in my head, well step aside
And succumb
The last time was free, yeah
[Chorus]
Give the times, it's never gonna change
I've made up my mind, I still feel the same
Release me from a life of the pain
Shine down your light on me
One million
Short of a billion
I can't speak if you won't listen
There's no-one, no way I'm falling down without you here
Lift off the stain I wear and graph this state of mind
[Chorus]
Give up cause my mind is made
I can't feel the same
If there ain't nothing changed
Behind closed doors, there's never any light
Behind closed doors, there's never any light
Mix a little bit of love and violence,
Mix a little bit of truth and lies.
I see you, I feel you.
Push and pulling me for my alliance,
But nothing's ever gonna make things right.
I feel you, I see you.
The doors close so no one outside hears
But I know the sound of your worst fear
It's cutting through me, it's suffocating me
Behind closed doors, there's a lifetime to forget
Mix a little bit of our denial,
Mix a little bit of black and white.
I feel you, I need you.
Growing up I learned from your defiance,
But nothing's ever gonna make things right.
I need you, I feel you.
The doors close so no one outside hears
But I know the sound of your worst fear
It's cutting through me, it's suffocating me
Behind closed doors, there's a lifetime to forget
Behind closed doors, there's never any light
Behind closed doors, there's never any light
Mix a little bit of love and violence,
Mix a little bit of truth and lies.
I see you, I feel you.
Push and pulling me for my alliance,
But nothing's ever gonna make things right.
I feel you, I see you.
The doors close so no one outside hears
But I know the sound of your worst fear
It's cutting through me, it's suffocating me
I'm all used up this morning
So empty on the road tonight
Some things never end like there supposed to be
I never should have given up on you and me
And I know your miles away
And yesterday won't change
I take the good with the bad
I make the most of what I have
Even when these walls are falling down on me
You keep me alive
I'm just ordinary man
In a rock n' roll band
Who keeps rolling on
Who keeps rolling on to the good with the bad
I'm traveling my way back home to Detroit City
I'm finding my way back home to you
No more empty promises see I learned from my mistakes
So I never will be giving up on me and you
And I know the past can't change
So I understand if you won't stay
I take the good with the bad
I make the most of what I have
Even when these walls are falling down on me
You keep me alive
I'm just ordinary man
In a rock n' roll band
Who keeps rolling on
Who keeps rolling on to the good with the bad
When times are so bad
You lifted m up
Your all that is good for me
Inside there is love
I wanted you more
You needed me less
And that your gone
I realized your the best thing I ever had
And now I take the good with the bad
I make the most of what I have
And even when these walls are falling down on me
Even when these walls
Even when these walls fall down on me
I take the good with the bad
I make the most of what I have
Even when these walls are falling down on me
You keep me alive
I'm just ordinary man
In a rock n' roll band
Who keeps rolling on
Who keeps rolling on
Who keeps hanging on
I thought you'd always be there,
Always be there waiting.
Everything we sacrificed, you threw away.
Now I'm prepared to walk,
Too tired, too numb to talk.
Every step I take, can't hid the pain.
What we had, it's over.
I don't wanna see - I don't wanna speak,
I don't wanna hear - Your lies.
I don't understand and I don't even care,
Cuz it's over.
I send you.
One more goodbye.
(This is our last goodbye.)
This is the last letter I write.
One more goodbye.
You can forget about it.
You can just forget about
What we had.
As I lay here in this candle lit room,
Reminiscing about those what could have beens
And will never b's now.
I am tattered, torn, and bruised - Alone,
Heart broke, and used.
But you'll never bury me with your shattered
Dreams and your never afters.
I don't wanna see - I don't wanna speak,
I don't wanna hear - Your lies.
I don't understand and I don't even care,
Cuz it's over.
I send you.
One more goodbye.
(This is our last goodbye.)
This is the last letter I write.
One more goodbye.
You can forget about it.
You can just forget about it.
Let me tell you a story about a man
Who's falling down.
And how he fell form glory on his own.
Let me tell you a story about a man who's in between.
In the end, we stand alone.
One more goodbye.
One more goodbye.
(This is our last goodbye.)
This is the last letter I write.
One more goodbye.
You can forget about it.
You can just forget about...
One more goodbye.
(This is our last goodbye.)
One more goodbye.
(This is our last goodbye.)
One more goodbye.
You can forget about it.
I am no better than you once I start.
I'd look away but I don't know how.
Holidays wash away,
That's what they say
When they don't know how,
They don't know how.
What you borrowed from me,
I don't, I don't want anymore.
Pack your bags, get away.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
I've seen lots of faces.
They look the same.
Good looks always seem so plain.
If I should pay, well you should pay.
That's what they say when they don't know.
They won't tell us how.
What you borrowed from me,
I don't, I don't want anymore.
Pack your bags, get away, get away.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
She's gone, gone, gone. Here today, gone tomorrow.
She's gone, gone, gone. Here today, gone tomorrow.
She's gone, gone, gone. Here today, gone tomorrow.
What you borrowed from me,
I don't, I don't want anymore.
Pack your bags, get away, get away.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
Cruisin' on this hard highway.
Can I leave behind
This open road I've seen before?
Just wasted time is all I have.
Still I need to know,
Just who I am, don't give a damn,
Cuz this has been too much for me to take.
Far away, I get cold.
Just a lesson in falling down.
Still I'm lost, never found one good reason.
How can I ever let go,
When all I really need to do is to breathe?
I'm trying hard not to show.
Will I ever let go?
Far away, I get cold.
Just a lesson in falling down.
Still, I'm lost, never found one good reason.
Hey mister, it's nice to meet you.
Some say this life is just a waste of time
Unless you believe.
Hey mister, lets ride to the edge this time.
Right now, I need something more than falling down.
A lesson in falling down.
Still, I need to know
Just who I am, don't give a damn.
Cuz this has been too much for me to take.
How do I live a lie?
No answers, only whys.
When all that's left inside are way more goodbyes.
Still far away, I get cold.
Hey mister, it's nice to meet you.
Some say this life is just a waste of time
Unless you believe.
Hey mister, lets ride to the edge this time.
Right now, I need something more than falling down...
Hey mister, it's nice to be here with you.
And my life is not a waste of time cuz I believe.
Hey mister, don't fall off the edge this time.
I got you letter on the table.
The keys still in the car.
Your lipstick stained upon my pillow,
From the night before.
I wish I knew my right from wrong,
I wish I had affliction.
Since I read your letter,
Girl, you been my new addiction.
Well I don't need you to be my stepping stone.
I just want you to come back home,
And just breathe and believe
It will be alright.
But tonight for tonight,
Just let it be.
I never was one for introductions,
Till I first saw your face.
And blinded by my intuitions,
I had to take my chance now.
And looking back, you had your reasons.
I couldn't read between the lines,
And now you're gone.
Nothing else that I can do.
I don't need you to be my stepping stone.
Yeah, I just want you to come back home,
And just breathe and believe
It will be alright.
But tonight for tonight,
Just let it be.
All the years that I have spent on you,
Does it really even matter?
Through the years, would we amount to something?
Does it really even matter?
I don't need you,
I don't need you to be my stepping stone.
I just want you to come back home,
And just breathe and believe
It will be alright.
But tonight for tonight,
Just let it be.
Well I don't need you to be my stepping stone.
I just want you to come back home,
And just breathe and believe
It will be alright.

Hiding the shame, a distant memory
I'm so wasted, so ugly
Buried beneath all the compromise
I'm so jaded, frustrated
But I'm alive
I'm alive
It's not enough to be yourself to make amends
It's so messed up to be yourself when you're never, never enough
Stealing the blame of your reflection
There's no failure, no envy
I've become all that I despise
I'm so faded, devastated
But I'm still alive
I'm alive
It's not enough to be yourself to make amends
It's so messed up to be yourself when you're not enough
It's not enough to be yourself to make amends
It's so messed up to be yourself when you're never, never enough
You're never enough
How can you save a distant memory?
That's so faded, so wasted
Bury the shame in your reflection
That's so jaded, so wasted
There's nothing to gain
And there's no one to blame.
Just you
I'm so wasted
I'm so ugly
I'm so jaded
'm frustrated
It's not enough to be yourself to make amends
It's so messed up to be yourself when you're not enough
It's not enough to be yourself to make amends
It's so messed up to be yourself when you're never, never enough
Where it begins, the color of your skin
Nothing's gonna change
Is it where you grew up?
You'll never know what they're gonna say
Tell me how to cope, burdened by the scope
Looking through your hands
Blame it on a world where a boy and girl
Can't understand
Can't understand
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
When's it gonna end, imaginary friend
No one knows your name
Never number one, never outrun what you defend
Show me where to go, tell me there is hope
It slips right through your hands
Living in a world where a boy and girl
Can't understand
Can't understand
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
For the rest of your life
For the rest of your days
You feel it inside in everywhere
For the rest of your life
For the rest of your days
You feel it inside in everywhere
For the rest of your life
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
And everyday for the rest of your life
You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me
Don't ever say you never lost your way
You're beautiful today
I'm barely breathing
I'm barely alive
When did yours come tumblin down?
Your actions speak louder
Than all of the thunder
That you brought back
Down on me
I won't be, I won't be your hero
I won't be your superman
Everything I did was for you
Everything you said was a lie
My pain, your gain
Who's your hero today?
Who's your hero?
No more second chances
No more lies
This time you're going down
Your days are empty
Your nights are black
I won't be the reason
You fall this time
I won't be, I won't be your hero
I won't be your superman
Everything I did was for you
Everything you said was a lie
My pain, your gain
Who's your hero today?
I won't be, I won't be your
I won't be, I won't be your hero
Everything I Did was for you
Everything you said was a lie
My pain, your gain
Who's your hero today?
Who's your hero?
Sometimes we look, for the now
Sometimes inside, we live with our regrets
In time we learn our lessons
But this time I know I am helpless
I know I've been wrong; I don't have all the answers
I'm stuck in this hell somewhere in between
What I want and what I need; I don't have a good reason
Cause now that you're gone only silence and scars remain
Rewind to 1999,
We were just kids still caught up in a lifetime.
Everything was easy then, as it turned out in the end.
We're better off as friends
I know I've been wrong; I don't have all the answers
I'm stuck in this hell somewhere in between
What I want and what I need; I don't have a good reason
Now that you're gone only silence and scars remain
I still feel like I threw it all away
In the end I never met you halfway
Only the silence around me and the scars remain
Sometimes we learn our lessons
But sometimes we're just left helpless
I know I've been wrong; I don't have all the answers
I'm stuck in this hell somewhere in between
What I want and what I need; I don't have a good reason
Cause now that you're gone only silence and scars remain
Now that you're gone only silence and scars remain
Here I sit all alone like an airplane
On the edge of a sky full of solid gray
Staring at the ceiling, tell me that I'm dreaming
Oh, I wish you were here today
All these days I know I'll never get back
All these words I know I wish I should've said
All these dreams that we had now fade to black
Try to wash it away
I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be
Here I float through the air like a waterfall
Than I sink to the bottom like a cannonball
Having trouble breathing, suddenly I'm screaming
Why wasn't I good enough
Even though I know you're not gonna come back
I can't wash it away
I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be
I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be
It's tearing me to pieces
Tearing me to pieces
It's tearing me to pieces
Tearing me to pieces
Even though I know you're not gonna come back
I can't wash it away
I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be
I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
(I'm torn to pieces)
I still see your face when you're not around
(I'm torn to pieces)
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
I'm addicted to the ashes and water
Clouds my vision as it rolls away
Bury me so innocent, tortured by what wasn't said
I'm a victim of my words that were shattered
You can never go back
You can never go back
Welcome to our reality,
Full of hate and brutality
We all want something to believe,
You can never go back
You can never go back
Welcome to our reality
Welcome to our reality
You can never go back
I'm afflicted by the shadows and voices
Crowds my memory as it fades away
Blinded by the ignorance, never know the difference
I'm a prisoner of the one thing that matters
You can never go back
You can never go back
Welcome to our reality,
Full of hate and brutality
We all want something to believe,
You can never go back
You can never go back
Welcome to our reality
Welcome to our reality
Welcome to our reality
You can never go back
You can never go back
It's a matter of fact, this life that I have
Giving, I'd do anything
Just stuck in the past, been going too fast
It's a matter of fact, this normal life that I have
I'd do anything
It's a part of the past, life is moving too fast
I'd do anything -
Welcome to our reality,
Full of hate and brutality
We all want something to believe,
You can never go back
You can never go back
Welcome to our reality,
Full of hate and brutality
We all want something to believe,
You can never go back
You can never go back
Welcome to our reality
You can never go back
Welcome to our reality
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
Such a beautiful color
You wear upon your skin
And the perfect shade of purple
On a flower permanent
And I'm constantly reminded
Of a past that never bloomed
As I sit behind these bars
Only silence fills the room
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by, I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up, never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
'Til I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs back, like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
Such a beautiful color
I wear upon my skin
And the perfect shade of purple
On a flower permanent
And I'm constantly reminded
Of how I should have changed
And now I can't stop thinking about the love that slipped away
It slipped away
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by, I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up, never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
'Til I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs back, like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
You're all that I ever wanted
You're all that I needed
And now I'm spending a lifetime
Drowning without you
I'm starting over and over again
Such a beautiful color
You wear upon your skin
And the perfect shade of purple
On a flower permanent
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by, I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up, never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
'Til I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs back, like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
I've never been down this road before
As the days go by, I only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up, never gonna die
I never realized what you meant to me
'Til I tried drowning out your memory
But it runs back, like it's not over
It only hurts when I'm sober
I hope you know I won't forget
All the things I wished I'd said
Now I don't want you to believe
The feeling you brought outta me
Tell me it's what you always wanted
But tell me that your heart is haunted
Tell me this is all you need
Just go ahead and lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
I got a sick sense, sick sense looking at you
Got the sweet scent, sweet scent I'm choking on you
I can touch it, taste it, hear me you lose
I got a sick sense, a sick sense about you
I wonder if I'll ever learn
How many times will you let me burn
I think you like to watch me bleed
Is that the fuel you need?
So tell me that I really matter
Tell me that your world is shattered
Tell me that I'm all you need
Just go ahead and lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
I got a sick sense, sick sense looking at you
Got the sweet scent, sweet scent I'm choking on you
I can touch it, taste it, hear me you lose
I got a sick sense, a sick sense about you
Every time you call, every time you lie
You start to suck me in, but not this time
I got a sick sense, sick sense looking at you
I got a sick sense, a sick sense about you
About you
Tell me it's what you always wanted
Tell me this is all you need
I got a sick sense, sick sense looking at you
Got the sweet scent, sweet scent I'm choking on you
I can touch it, taste it, hear me you lose
I got a sick sense, a sick sense about you
Every time you call, every time you lie
You start to suck me in, but not this time
I got a sick sense, sick sense looking at you
I got a sick sense, a sick sense about you
I got a sick sense, a sick sense
That girl, She's a loaded gun
Gonna take 'em out take 'em one by one
She knows when she's dressed to kill
She'll put a bullet in your heart just to feel the thrill
She walks like she's walking on water
She moves like the Boss's Daughter
She rides like a '67 Chevy
In a drop top red and white and blue
Ohh what she does to me
With her long dark hair and her sexy thighs
Baby let me come inside
She's hell on heels
She turns my wheels
With her Devil smile and her Angel Eyes
And She's got me all hypnotized and she's hell on heels
That girl needs somebody like me
A real man born with a sex degree
I was raised be the Devil's own kin
Taught me that a good time was never a si&110
And she walks like she's walking on water
She moves like the Boss's Daughter
She rides like a '67 Chevy
In a drop top red and white and blue
Ohh what she does to me
With her long dark hair and her sexy thighs
Baby let me come inside
She's hell on heels
She turns my wheels
With her Devil smile and her Angel Eyes
And She's got me all hypnotized and she's hell on heels
I love the way she moves those heels from hell
Lunch breaks lead to drinks in cheap hotels
I'm just another guy she'll burn inside her fire
I'd sell my soul for her desire
With her long dark hair and her sexy thighs
Baby let me come inside
She's hell on heels
She turns my wheels
With her Devil smile and her Angel Eyes
And She's got me all hypnotized
She's hell on heels
She's hell on heels
She's hell on heels
She's really got me with her Devil smile and her Angel eyes
She's got me all hypnotized
I can't get away with murder
I am bound to take it further
I took the pills, I've been consumed
I drank the water, I had to choose
I'm still here with a fire burning, burning inside
If you want to burn, light it up, light up, let it rise
When you're high who ya flying for
When you ride who ya riding for
When you toast who ya drinking for
When you play, gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
I have found comfort in someone
Now I'm bound, empty and hollow
I took the pills, I've been consumed
I drank the water, I had to choose
I'm still here with a fire burning, burning inside
If you want to burn, light it up, light up, let it rise
When you're high who ya flying for
When you ride who ya riding for
When you toast who ya drinking for
When you play, gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Let it rise
When you're high who ya flying for
When you ride who ya riding for
When you toast who ya drinking for
When you play, gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
Gotta deal with the devil
