I'm so afraid, I can't hold on this time
Thats why I write, to let you know
Just what goes on
'Cause this is me, and everything I've dreamed
And you know that I can't just settle for anything
Just once more can we pretend that everything is okay
And that we are all happy
Breathe hope in me
I need you
I try so hard to make this work in my life
I still believe in you
Play that faster and maybe they will move to our sound
This is the way its supposed to be
Coming together, on the dance floor will
You light the scene
Sing along
This is your favorite song
And we'll play along
'Cause you're the reason I'm alive
Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I'll pray you're looking back
By the wake
So here we, we are, again [x4]
Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I do hope you come back
By the wake
Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I'll pray you're looking back
By the wake
By the wake
Awake
By the wake
Something's wrong and it's not me for once,
and I know you'll call me crazy.
but I hate the way you look straight through me.
What have I done that's so wrong?
Remember me, when I'm so far from your reach,
when you'll know you had your chance.
Take one more glance, and that's the end of our romance.
You've turned your back on me for the last time.
Remember when we use to be friends?
Nothing could ever go wrong, or so we thought,
but I guess you've changed a lot since we were young.
Times will change, and there's nothing I can say
to right all of your wrongs.
Just grow up, and pray we'll keep in touch.
You've turned your back on me for the last time.
I still dream of the day that I watched you choke.
They'll act like I'm so crazy
when they find you dead on my floor.
Right now, right now.
I'd say something went wrong in our lives,
and I pray that god saves us before we die.
He's everything that you could never be.
[x6]
Right now, right now, right now.
I'd say something went wrong in our lives,
and I pray that god saves us before we die.
Slowly die.
[Repeat til fade]
They noticed the ways you changed
over the years,but we all stayed the same
look back through the past
but we all knew that you wouldn't last
you see yourself in the puddles left from the rain
but all we remember is your stain
just live your life, live it for yourself and be happy
So your wrong, in the ways you wanted to be
the only one who matters is you
Now watch you slip away
to the ledge you've chosen finally
you picked your role now play your part
but what you didn't know this plays a tragedy
you see yourself in the puddles left from the rain
but all we remember is your stain
just live your life, live it for yourself and be happy
So your wrong, in the ways you wanted to be
the only one who matters is you
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
Cause it breaks,my heart
Cause it breaks my heart
Cause it breaks my heart
Cause it breaks
just live your life, live it for yourself and be happy
So your wrong, in the ways you wanted to be
the only one who matters is
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
This sun has set on your heart
chances for redemption
and I have forgotten your name.
And I thought it’d be easy
to move on completely,
forgetting what was real and what was.
Forget the past
don’t, for once, think you’re better than what I have.
You’re the reason I never trusted anyone
Forget the past
don’t, for once, think you’re better than what I have.
You’re the reason I never trusted anyone
Just to forget
wouldn’t make me as happy as it would to hate.
Just to forgive
is so much more than you are worth.
Think the time we spent
well so do I.
and you
tore my life apart
Single breath
You coulda cared less if I was dead
if I was dead
Just to forget
wouldn’t make me as happy as it would to hate.
Just to forgive
is so much more than you are worth.
You care so much about yourself,
that it makes me sick
to think of you.
Do you think how much I lost
for you.
It's the start of a brand new day
And I'm struggling to stay awake
So I can just stumble outside
Losing hope in my whole life
I'm just scraping by
Hoping no one will notice me
Here I am again
Trying to give in
To another bitter end
I don't think it'd be wrong
To be alone tonight
Please make this all end
(And I'm watching the lights flow by)
Watching the cars pass
Thinking they won't last
Darkness clouds all of my windows
Darkness clouds all of my windows
Taking my last breath
Time flows out of my chest
I have lost the will to be
I have lost the will to be
Here I am again
Trying to give in
To another bitter end
I don't think it'd be wrong
To be alone tonight
Please make this end
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
Here I am again
Trying to give in
To another bitter end
I don't think it'd be wrong
To be alone tonight
Please make this end
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I trusted you...
And I trusted you...
You're such a liar...
And I trusted you...
Wake up.... I've been watching you...
[-Frank the bunny, Donnie Darko]
For once my eyes are open to you, and everything you've said.
For once your web of lies is in the open.
I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left.
Now still you act as if I'm just a burden.
I've finally let go. Let go, let go.
Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.
I've been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life.
I'm damaged from the inside. I've been broken.
Don't threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind you'd be in tears.
I'm sick of your excuses you hold above me.
I've finally come to terms with what I am.
I'm nothing in your eyes, and this will not change.
I'm living in a dream.
Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.
And I'll close my eyes, and dream of a better time
when I'll be finally past this and I'll be happy on my own.
I've done all I can, and I've still been cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe those tears from your eyes.
But I guess I'll play second best, to a world that will never care about you.
You'll never understand you're just another pretty face
You'll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him.
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away.
You never did know how to whisper.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
Do the world a favor, stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat.
If actions spoke louder than words, you'd have made me deaf by now
You make it seem so easy to love me for who I really am, am.
It'd break my heart, if we fell apart.
It'd be so hard to let you go
It'd break my heart, if we fell apart.
It'd be so hard to watch you go
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor (off my floor)
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor (off my floor)
It's so crazy how it'd make my week just to hear them mention your name
Is it so hard to understand how you've got me right in the palm of your hand?
It'd break my heart, if we fell apart.
It'd be so hard to let you go
It'd break my heart, if we fell apart.
It'd be so hard to watch you go
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor (off my floor)
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor (off my floor)
You're first and foremost, you're always on my mind
Through the songs that I'll sing I'll give you my heart
You're first and foremost, you're always on my mind
Through the songs that I'll sing I'll give you my heart
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor (off my floor)
So let's not dwell on all those things we should of said
As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor (off my floor)
(My floor.
My floor.
My floor.
My floor)
This is for you (this is for you).
You're the one worth waiting for.
You're all I ever needed in this life.
Let's take a look back, so we can see,
What it took to bring us here and we're
So reminded of better days,
When we were both happy.
This is for you (this is for you).
You're the one worth waiting for.
You're all I ever needed in this life.
[x2]
Words can't express,
the impact you've made on me,
And -- in my entire life.
And all I can say is that I love you,
For everything it turned out to be.
This is for you (this is for you).
You're the one worth waiting for.
You're all I ever needed in this life.
[x2]
Cause I try,
So hard to make this right (right).
You've got my back on the wall.
After all you've put me through,
My friends still stay true.
[x2]
Your reign is over,
Why couldn't you prove me wrong?
[x2]
I've spent so much time
trying to fix your life
that I forgot about mine.
This time I'm putting my foot
straight through the floor.
You won't be walking through
any of my doors anymore.
So tell me what's so wrong with me
that you could leave so easily.
And you threw this all away
for the chance to leave me.
She makes me happy.
She sparks a light inside
you've never failed to blow out.
Look at everything.
Look at all that you've become...
nothing more than a memory.
So tell me what's so wrong with me
that you could leave so easily.
And you threw this all away
for the chance to leave me.
You make me sick with every move you make.
When will you find your place in this world?
Cause it will never be beside me again.
So tell me what's so wrong with me
that you could leave so easily.
And you threw this all away
for the chance to leave me.
So tell me what's so wrong with me
that you could leave so easily.
And you threw this all away
for the chance to leave me.
So I say goodbye to a town that has ears and eyes
I can hear you whispering as I walk by
Familiar faces smiling back at me and I knew
This would make them change
The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends
Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?
The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me
I've read these stories a thousand times, and now I'll rewrite them all
You're meddling in an anger you can't control
She means the world to me, so hold your serpent tongue
Is a whores lies worth dying for? I'll just take my time
The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends
Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?
The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me
I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor
I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor when I'm done
But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off? (You should have killed me when you had the chance)
But should I... ? (You should have killed me when you had the chance)
You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance
Something's wrong and it's not me for once,
and I know you'll call me crazy.
but I hate the way you look straight through me.
What have I done that's so wrong?
Remember me, when I'm so far from your reach,
when you'll know you had your chance.
Take one more glance, and that's the end of our romance.
You've turned your back on me for the last time.
Remember when we use to be friends?
Nothing could ever go wrong, or so we thought,
but I guess you've changed a lot since we were young.
Times will change, and there's nothing I can say
to right all of your wrongs.
Just grow up, and pray we'll keep in touch.
You've turned your back on me for the last time.
I still dream of the day that I watched you choke.
They'll act like I'm so crazy

Right now, right now.
I'd say something went wrong in our lives,

[x6]
Right now, right now, right now.

Slowly die.
[Repeat til fade]
I'm missing you so much, I'll see you die tonight
Just so I can get to you before the sun will rise
I know the signs are on and I feel this too
None of that ever seems to matter when I'm holding you
And I'm wasting away, away from you
And I'm wasting away, away from you
What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust
anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello.
I've never seen a smile that can light the room like yours
It's simply radiant, I feel more with everyday that goes by
I watch the clock to make my timing just right
Would it be okay?
Would it be okay if I took your breath away?
And I'm wasting away, away from you.
And I'm wasting away, away from you.
What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust
anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies (you are so cute)
at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
[x4]
What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust
anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
And shepherds we shall be,
for thee my lord for thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand,
that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
So we shall flow river forth to thee,
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine patris,
et filli,
et spiritus sancti.
You've sunk lower than I've ever seen,
and even though you deserved this
I tried to catch your fall
I've grown so tired of your childish threats
Know that I'll never run from anything
And I'll burn the building if I knew you'd die
And I'll pray you're a failure
And that you won't make it out alive
[x2]
Here's where we prove all your fairytales wrong
This all stops tonight
Swim in your sea of smoke
Until your lungs lose the fight
It's over
This all stops tonight
Or prove me wrong
What have you become trough your jealousy?
You've threatened my life, my friends and family
This is your last wrong turn in your life
and this dead end leads to a blood bath
your blood bath
And I'll burn the building if I knew you'd die
And I'll pray you're a failure
And that you won't make it out alive
[x2]
Here's where we prove all your fairytales wrong
This all stops tonight
Swim in your sea of smoke
Until your lungs lose the fight
It's over
This all stops tonight
Or prove me wrong
You'll never stop us with your one-man army
We would burn him alive
You'll never stop us with your one-man army
If you're such a man then bring the fight
[x2]
This is me calling you out
You want to talk like a man, then be a man
Stop talking like you're something (We're paging 1958)
You always have so much to say but it's never to our faces
I'm right here
(We're paging 1958)
We're all one and the same
We're moving on, and living our dreams (We're paging 1958)
We're all one and the same
We're moving on, and living our dreams (We're paging 1958)
I'm your alpha and omega,
I am invincible.
[x6]
[From the movie "Shaun Of The Dead":]
Can I just say one more thing?
I'm not gonna say ya know, there's plenty more fish in the sea
I'm not gonna say if you love her let her go
And I'm not gonna bombard you with cliche's
But what I will say is this:
It's not the end of the world
We welcome you to the second chapter
thanks for turning the other page
We acknowledge you as the only reason
for the progress that we've made
You're a constant reminder
we came, we saw, we conquered
Everything has come so far
From where we were before
Well keep this short and sweet so I'll
get to the point
My friends come first it's the bottom line
My friends come first it's the bottom line
My friends come first it's the bottom line
My friends come first it's the bottom line
That's the bottom line
Here's to the future, never getting older
when the tables do turn, where will you be?
Pick up your feet.
This is my vengeance for all the wrongs you've formed against us
You always get me wrong
My whole existence revolves around the progress that we've made
I'll never be walked on again
I'm on the edge of the rooftop
Thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you'd want to be the one to see
The distance from the road
I'm on the edge of the rooftop
Thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you'd want to be the one to see
The distance from the road, the road
This is our triumph over all the forms of filth you've spread
Well never let this go
Right from the very start i knew this day would come
Tonights the night we silence you there's nowhere left to run
I'm on the edge of the rooftop
Thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you'd want to be the one to see
The distance from the road
I'm on the edge of the rooftop
Thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you'd want to be the one to see
The distance from the road, the road
Let this be your reminder
I'm everything that you wanted to be
Hope for the best but it's over
And you thought you were better than me
I'm on the edge of the rooftop
Thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you'd want to be the one to see
The distance from the road
I'm on the edge of the rooftop
Thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you'd want to be the one to see
The distance from the road, the road, the road
The road, the road
Such a pretty picture
Your chalk line on the ground
I hope you die
So now you'll know exactly what it feels like
to be an obstacle in my way
You won't remain
You won't remain
Save your breath don't even speak if you'll speak of change
Cause you won't, you won't
Cut to the chase, spare the lecture on what it takes to make a man
Cause you're weak and I'm strong
I will never falter
I'll stand my ground
You're a fake, a worthless coward
Your life won't mean anything
[x2]
So now you'll know exactly what it feels like
to be an obstacle in my way
You won't remain
You won't remain
Let's set things straight,
What's done is done I never needed you
Tell me exactly who you think that you're kidding?
Everyone will be happy when they find that you're missing
You asked if we'd ever forget you
We've got our fingers crossed
Our fingers crossed!
That's the danger in starting a fire
You'll never know how many bridges you'll burn
[x2]
I've learned to let go
Come on
Here's a middle finger
Coming straight from oca-l-a
I appreciate your judgement
it's proved that I can't trust a word you say
those must be some pair of binoculars
that you see every move I make
so I'll never be a liar
but you'll always be two-faced
You'll get what's coming to you
You're blinded by your instincts
I'm not your fucking game
I'm not so easily beat
I'm looking down at this mess that you've made
and I can't believe that I stayed
So unhappy for so long
Where did I go wrong?
I've got to get out of this
my hand is on the handle
We're leaving everything behind
Goodbye for a lifetime
I'll rip that scandalous bitch in two
We'll bring the noise
Try to pretend that I never even knew your name
'cause everything you are disgusts me
(Too bad I can't turn back time)
So I wouldn't be here
what I'd give for you to disappear
so tell me girly how's your edge?
You've got nothing better to do
I know why you can't see straight
I thought you were better than this
but you're just like everyone else
I'm looking down at this mess that you've made
and I can't believe that I stayed
So unhappy for so long
Where did I go wrong?
I've got to get out of this
my hand is on the handle
We're leaving everything behind
Goodbye for a lifetime
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
Get low
Now I know who my friends are
I'm never coming home
It's Monday morning
And I would kill for a chance to drive
Get so far away from here with you my dear
That I'll never leave your side
Nobody knows the troubles I've seen
In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
We're getting older
I've started to fear for my life
is this the way that it should be?
this whole thing's riding on me
it's been a long road so far
with nowhere to turn
There's no looking back from here
no more dwelling on my fears
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
[x3]
And I'll scream
so loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
'cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
let nothing stand in our way
[x2]
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Don't point your finger baby
This isn't the best time for you to test me
"This wasn't just anyone here" she said
If it wasn't you, it's someone you would lie for
Tell me, who would you lie for?
Let's live the lie
I'm still singing "Whoa" (Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
(You'll never know)
I'm still singing "Whoa" (Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
Don't be so quick to blame a friend
When the smoke is cleared, there'll be nobody left
"Don't be so sure of yourself" he said
If this was me, he would never know your name
(Never know your name)
Heart means everything
Let's live the lie
I'm still singing "Whoa" (Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
(You'll never know)
I'm still singing "Whoa" (Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
I'm alright with being a thief
I'm alright with being a thief
From the top of the world
We'll let them know
That your biggest fear is letting go
From the top of the world
We'll let them know
That your biggest fear is letting go
I'm still singing "Whoa"
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
(You'll never know)
I'm still singing "Whoa" (Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
Just hold your breath,
To make sure you won't wake up again.
Cause you ruined my 04,
That's the best that I could hope for,
To watch you fall apart from the inside.
We're gonna spread it to the world
To the world
About how you lied.
How you lied
A free lesson on growing up,
Never trust anyone to the point,
Where your backs exposed.
Every person I've ever known was a fake
and you'll see your closest ones go first.
Who needs enemies you've got friends.
I'm a gentleman and you're a liar,
I expect the best of you but it's so hard
But it's so hard
[x2]
Let's start over.
When we reach the top we'll watch you bury yourself.
This wasn't easy.
It wasn't easy
[x2]
A free lesson on growing up.
Make the best of their worst
And never compromise what you feel is right.
I make a point to be powerful when I speak.
Be the one that gives them nightmares when they sleep.
Never back down from anyone.
I'm a gentleman and you're a liar.
I expect the best of you but it's so hard.
But it's so hard
[x2]
Let's start over.
When we reach the top we'll watch you bury yourself.
This wasn't easy.
It wasn't easy
[x2]
I watched the weight of your world
Cave in to crush you.
[x4]
Ch-ch-ch-ow!
Lets take them back to the days,
when we were family.
My breath was your breath when we were young.
I think it's funny how the times have changed,
throw being jealous in the mix
and now all I know of you is a name,
Couldn't have came at a better time.
This ends right now!
We gave all of ourselves
to entertain you,
Were only hurting us.
We gave all of ourselves
to entertain you,
Were only hurting ourselves.
I'm a god amongst the ants and your girlfriends,
and you act like you don't even know.
It's cause you haven't been here for too long.
I called this right from the start.
I turn my back for one second
now all I hear is a shot in the dark,
Use my name like you know me.
You're all the same.
Keep running your mouth!
Keep running your mouth!
Oh!
We gave all of ourselves
to entertain you,
Were only hurting us.
We gave all of ourselves
to entertain you,
Were only hurting ourselves.
Hurting ourselves.
[x3]
Mark my words, were taking over the world.
[x4]
Here's to the past
Let's all think back on what brought us here
This is my grasp on what is real
Don't tell me how I feel
With all that's passed I can't relate
With myself from day to day
why does everything seem so far away
to me
There's no turning back from here
I've got to get away from everyone who's left
Everyone who's left
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away
We've all been down this path before
You're trapped in this town
And it wears you down
When we leave today then maybe you'll understand
This constant struggle isn't always in the palm of my hand
There's no turning back from here
I've got to get away from everyone who's left
Everyone who's left
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away
This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away
Tonight I'm sending you a message
This is the end of an era
The end of second chances
In the face of defeat I'm winning
Yet you still have so much left to say
Oh, they're coming straight for me
Oh, they're coming straight for me
Read between the lines
We can't give in this time
Just let me go for now I'll be just fine (just let me go)
Don't ya know, don't ya know
Now that I'm back on my own
Just let me go for now I'll be just fine (just fine)
Don't ya know, don't ya know
Now that I'm back on my own
Tell me how it feels
To watch the walls of your security crumble
I remember you
You took the easy way out
When I gave you something to stand for
Oh, they're coming straight for me
Oh, they're coming straight for me
Read between the lines
We can't give in this time
Just let me go for now I'll be just fine (just let me go)
Don't ya know, don't ya know
Now that I'm back on my own
Just let me go for now I'll be just fine (just fine)
Don't ya know, don't ya know
Now that I'm back on my own
I was just another promise that you couldn't keep
I was just another promise that you couldn't keep
Read between the lines
We can't give in this time
Just let me go for now I'll be just fine (just let me go)
Don't ya know, don't ya know
Now that I'm back on my own
Just let me go for now I'll be just fine (just fine)
Don't ya know, don't ya know
Now that I'm back on my own
Hey boys, look where we are
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
So get ready to run
This all goes to show
just how little you really know
About the way that we are
I notice everything
Like every single rumor
That you spread today
You're never gonna change
Let's set this record straight
I know all your dirty secrets
That you kept from me
This conversation's over
Watch your step
(Watch your step)
This town can chew you up
And spit you out
So pardon me but you shouldn't be so proud
Watch your step

This town can chew you up
And spit you out
So pardon me but you shouldn't be so proud
You're all the same
You think that everyone around you cares about what you think
No one knows your name
It's about that time
take everyone you know and get as far across my states line
as you possibly can
I notice everything
Like every single rumor
That you spread today
You're never gonna change
Let's set this record straight
I know all your dirty secrets

Will they miss me when I'm gone?
Will this time be for too long?

Will they miss me when I'm gone?

For once my eyes are open to you, and everything you've said.
For once your web of lies is in the open.
I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left.
Still you act as if I'm just a burden.
I've finally let go. Let go, let go.
Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.
I've been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life.
I'm damaged from the inside. I've been broken.
Don't threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind you'd be in tears.
I'm sick of your excuses you hold above me.
I've finally come to terms with what I am.
I'm nothing in your eyes, and this will not change.
I'm living in a dream.
Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.
And I'll close my eyes, and dream of a better time
when I'll be finally past this and I'll be happy on my own.
I've done all I can, and I've still been cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe tears from your eyes.
But I guess I'll play second best, to a world that will never care about you.
You'll never understand you're just another pretty face
You'll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him.
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away.
You never did know how to whisper.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You fucking liar. Tell me the truth.
Do the world a favor, stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat.

So I say goodbye to a town that has ears and eyes
I can hear you whispering as I walk by
Familiar faces smiling back at me and I knew
This would make them change
The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends
Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?
The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me
I've read these stories a thousand times, and now I'll rewrite them all
You're meddling in an anger you can't control
She means the world to me, so hold your serpent tongue
Is a whores lies worth dying for? I'll just take my time
The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends
Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?
The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me
I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor
I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor when I'm done
But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off? (You should have killed me when you had the chance)
But should I... ? (You should have killed me when you had the chance)
You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance

It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since U Been Gone
You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since U Been Gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since U Been Gone
How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since U Been Gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on

Watch what you say on the stand.
You're running in circles.
I know more than you think
And your words are empty
Of all the heavenly hosts!
This will all make sense when the records gold.
What's a few more units for your soul?
You're wasting my time,
while they're wasting away.
You'll never, you'll never save me.
You've dropped every line,
but they don't mean a thing.
You'll never, you'll never save me.
Oh!
You live your life in the saddest way I've ever seen.
You are the reason I don't believe.
I'm not denying the worth of things unseen,
and this isn't a part of the next big thing.
I'm just dying to show them all that you are
You are nothing.
LET'S GO!
It's not easy making a name for yourself
Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far
Let's have some fun and never change not for anyone
Try not to miss me when I'm gone
(Whoa uh oh, whoa uh oh)
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
I'm gonna need you to try to follow along.
I did the best that I could to try and write you songs.
Now go tell them we sold out, like we're the ones who changed.
I write what I feel, I say what I mean.
You can't buy sincerity.
(Whoa uh oh, whoa uh oh)
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
Don't forget yourselves
We made up our minds
And we signed 3! 4! 5! on that dotted line!
Don't forget yourselves
We made up our minds

You won't find me in the same spot

I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
You won't find me in the same spot (You were right and I was wrong)
Believe me I could never stop (You point the blame we'll take the fall)
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks (You were right and I was wrong)
I'm leaving and not coming back (You point the blame we'll take the fall)
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all

Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Somebody give me a sign,
That everything's going as planned,
And then everything falls away,
Into the darkness of this shallow place.
The detail is striking,
The room's cold and frightening,
You'll kick and you'll scream,
You'll try everything to survive,
But you should know your fate by now.
They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done to me.
You, you know you gotta assert yourself,
Leave what you need for now,
It's not the time or place you're searching for.
All I can give them's my worst of intentions.
You're nothing to me and everyone can see that
Your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide.
They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
Watch your back, you'll lose yourself!
This is a battleground!
When will they know,
Your life's a lie.
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done
They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!
Don't blink they won't even miss you at all,
And don't think that I'll always be gone,
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don't you let me down!
So run like hell,
Sleep with one eye open,
I can't forgive or forget you
We'll tell everyone the damage done,
Deep down you can't stop me
You can't stop me now.
I'll be there just to watch you fall,
So don't push me, I've got nothing to lose.
Don't blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don't think that I'll always be gone,
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don't you let me down.
{Oops,} there I go again,
I made it so damn hard to come back from the mess that you're in
I need you to know, I told you so.
You're a snake and I'm cautious
Just use your head.
I'll be there just to watch you fall,
so don't push me, I've got nothing to lose.
Don't blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don't think that I'll always be gone,
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don't you let me down.
Come on
Ooooooohhhhhh!
[Cough Cough]
Everybody's out to get me.
Any moment could be my last.
This is me, you can take it or leave.
Right or wrong
I will stand on my own two feet.
Just breathe.
Just breathe.
Don't blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don't think that I'll always be gone,
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don't you let me down.
Don't blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don't think that I'll always be gone,
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don't you let me down.
Oh!
Get up, get out,
This is your wake up call,
We run this town and you can't fight us all,
We keep 'em coming back for more,
Don't think you can hold us down,
We'll tear this building down,
Try to be careful what you say
Give it up, your tact is astounding,
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind,
You do this every time
So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
Get up, get out,
Who's gonna break your fall,
When we don't back down, you're gonna seem so small,
We keep 'em running for the door,
Just wait, things will come back around,
It's too late for them, they're headed straight for a melt down,
I'm not a part of your cliche,
Give it up, your tact is astounding,
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind,
You do this every time
So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
[x2]
Just think about, just think about everything,
Be careful now, be careful what you say,
While I'm away.
This is the life we chose,
This is the life I lead,
They can never take this from me
[x2]
So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
[x2]
So here's to another banner year,
I hope you're happy with yourself
Wake up!
Oh how the times have changed
You're not the person I knew back then
Let's get this straight
This is a calling
When will they stop falling for this?
You lack all inspiration
We're not the same
I'll do whatever it takes
To get it through to you
We'll call this a day
We're not the same
You are worthless
Stay in your place
It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
I've created a monster
You bring out a side of me that no one should see
So quit stalling, pack your bags
Keep walking away
Your life leads to destruction
We are not the same
I've struggled too long to sit back
And let you take this from me
We are not the same
I have giving everything
It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
(Get what we deserve) Get what we deserve
Get what we deserve
Disrespect your surroundings
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
When will we ever get what we deserve?
When will we ever get what we deserve?
Have faith in me
Cause there are things that I've seen I don't believe
So cling to what you know and never let go
You should know things aren't always what they seem
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I'm going crazy
Cause there are things in the streets I don't believe
So we'll pretend it's alright (pretend it's alright)
and stay in for the night
Oh what a world
I'll keep you safe here with me (with me)
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again
They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall
They've got me on the outside, looking in

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
We're finally alone at last
Oh how I've waited for this day to come
There's just something about you that rubs me wrong
You're not worth my attention
I built this with my own two hands
If you could spare me the time
Stop using me as your next misconception
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me
It won't be long before you meet your end
You're nothing more than a passing trend
So keep those cameras rolling
You think I wouldn't remember?
You thought that I would lose faith in myself
You can spare me the lies
You don't believe in me
Your life's a contradiction
I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days

We'll cast out problems aside
Cheers to your future, may they bury you alive
Move!

Everything around me seems so much different than where I'm from
And at this rate I think my fate's been sealed
This life's so unpredictable
We'll go continue to live a life that no one knows
Where's this gonna go?
Right here, right now
This is the beginning of the end
And I won't sing one single thing until we can get this right
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go, go
Everything about me seemed so much different when I was young
I couldn't wait to take my place
Five years have passed
Good god have I been gone?
So why, I've never felt so alone in my whole life
Times not on my side
Right here, right now
This is the beginning of the end
And I won't sing a single thing until we can get this right
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go
And why's this make me so nervous?
Why does everything go wrong?
Why's this make me so nervous?
Why does everything go wrong?
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward but we're not there yet
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward

We're moving forward but we're not there yet

We're moving forward, we're moving forward
Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves

Why does everything go wrong?
Why's this make me so nervous?

Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
And every time I come home
Some more of me it isn't there
I gotta get it together
I need to do things for myself
I've given everything
But still you take more from me
I need some room to breathe
Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay
(We'll be okay!)
Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family
This isn't what I remember
Everyone's looking out for just themselves
If need be I'll be happy to leave
Just be warned, I'll be taking most of you with me
I see straight through
That smile straight through
That painted face
Don't think that I can't tell
Which one of you is against me
Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay

Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had family
I had the greatest faith in fools,
I turned my back and out came the wolves
PAY ATTENTION!
Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on

Come on, come on

To a time where I still felt I had family
Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
They used to tell me:
You got to choose a side
Now it's four years later,
And they beg for advice.
Don't trust the critic he's a cynic
Make the call for yourself
This is my 10-step course to not be like everyone else
I know it's not the easiest route,
And I know
It leaves you overflowing with doubt
But if you want it you can have it
Hope it's all that you dreamt
Cause once you got it your gonna get it
You wont be leaving this
You can't trust everyone you meet
They won't amount to anything
Go tell them
Go tell them it's not as simple as you think
You can't trust everyone you meet
They never meant that much to me
Go tell them
Go tell them it's not as simple as you think
Clenched fists held above me
You will never bring me to my knees
I said clenched fists held above me
You will never bring me to my knees
You'll get what you deserve
They keep playing sad songs on the radio
And I feel like I'm so alone
On this 15-hour drive
And all the while I tell myself to just believe
Cause nobody can give so much
And never get anything
(never get anything)
Everyone I used to know
Says they don't know what I've become
But I'm still the same
Not much has changed
I still know where I came from
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you're the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won't be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
And it feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
And all the while I say too much of what I think
And I can't remember what it's like to find meaning in anything
For the life of me
Everyone I used to know
Says they don't know what I've become
But I'm still the same
Not much has changed
I still know where I came from
And all I ever wanted was so far from what I need
I'll write my songs, they'll sing along, and hope time heals everything
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you're the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won't be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
This is all I have!
This is all I have!
It's my life
This is all I have!
This is all I have!
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you're the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won't be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you're the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won't be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me
And hey darling,
I hope you're good tonight.
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving.
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it.
Tell me something sweet to get me by,
'Cause I can't come back home till they're singing
La, la la la, la la la,
Till everyone is singing
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
Well it might be for the best.
And hey sweetie,
Well I need you here tonight,
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving me
Yeah, you want it, but I can't help it.
I just feel complete when you're by my side,
But I know you can't come home till they're singing
La, la la la, la la la,
Till everyone is singing.
La, la la la, la la la.
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
Well it might be for the best.
You know you can't give me what I need.
And even though you mean so much to me,
I can't wait through everything,
Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again.
And don't you dare say we can just be friends.
I'm not some boy that you can sway.
We knew it'd happen eventually.
La, la la la, la la la,
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(If you can wait till I get home)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(Then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(If you can wait till I get home)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(Then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singing.
La
I am fueled by all forms of failure
I paid the price
So, I'll take what's mine!
Bet ya didn't see that one comin'
Cause I do as I please
And apologize for nothing.
My time is flying
But I'm still second to none.
Always shining the brightest
When I'm placed under the gun.
So here I stand,
The only son of a working class man
I won't be held back
I can't be held down
Where were you
When my walls came falling down?
You tried to hide
You stood close by
And didn't make a sound!
(Say something!)
Find you some paper
And I'll go grab you a pen
You can start taking notes
On how this all started again.
Been dead last but found my way to the front
With my inspirational quotes on why
I never gave up!
Where were you
When my walls came falling down?
(When you falling down)
You tried to hide
You stood close by
And didn't make a sound!
Where were you
When it all came back around?
(Goes back around)
The reasons why you passed me by
Will always hold you down.
(Say something!)
If you can't stand the pressure
Stay the fuck out of my way!
I know my place!
This one goes out to everyone
Who's lied to my face!
MY HEART IS FILLED WITH HATE!
I'm making a difference,
I'm taking a chance.
You can say what you want about me
But no one can tell me I can't!
Where were you
When my walls came falling down?
(When you falling down)
You tried to hide
You stood close by
And didn't make a sound!
Where were you
When it all came back around?
(Goes back around)
The reasons why you passed me by
Will always hold you down.
SAY SOMETHING!!
I'm always screaming my lungs out
till my head starts spinning.
Playing my songs is the way
I cope with life. Won't keep my voice down.
Know the words I speak are the thoughts
I think out loud.
I like to keep things honest.
I'm a safe bet like your life's
staked on it. For real.
I'd hate to keep you all wondering.
I'm constant like the seasons,
and I will never be forgotten man.
Let's leave no words unspoken
and save regrets for the broken.
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low.
Still got something left to prove.
It tends to keep things movin.
While everyone around me
says my last days are looming
overhead but just what the hell
do they think they know?
I keep my head above the water
while they drown in the undertow.
Let's leave no words unspoken
and save regrets for the broken.
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.
All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.
If you take it from me,
live your life for yourself.
Cause when it's all said and done
you don't need anyone else.(come on)
So let's get back to when
everything seemed perfect.
Not a worry in the world,
so tell me was this all worth it?
I get what I want,
so everyones always judging me.
I'm not afraid of anything,
and I've got the whole world in front of me.
All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.
All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.
Keep your heads down low.
Keep your heads down low.
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low.
Here we go again, another night of being bombed
I can tell myself I'll avoid this time and cancel plans with everyone
I know cause this is how it always ends
Our bond will break cause you can't relate to anyone, to anything at all
You brought your worst and I'm right here
Though I've seen it all and it's never been so clear
You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right 'cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen,
follow your friends like you ever had them
You still know me, still not cut out for this sort of thing
Never wanna be caught in between, I need constant reminders of everything
So what
It's who I am, I played it off so well I just hold it in no matter how I've been
So nobody, nobody can tell
You brought your worst and I'm right here
Though I've seen it all and it's never been so clear
You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen
You something your friends like you ever had them
I won't sleep till the break of dawn break of dawn (break of dawn)
I can't wear our problems from in here
So everybody come on
You brought your worst and I'm right here
and I've seen it all and it's never been so clear
You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen,
follow your friends like you ever had them
You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen,
follow your friends like you ever had them
Don't get me started on what it means to be alive
You're lying to yourself and yet still you act surprised
Cause you're scared and can't come to terms with what you are
The wolves in sheep's clothing will only lead you so far
You'll wait and they'll go cause in the end we all end up alone so just wait you'll know
Forget everything just for tonight we'll sing like everyone when they're alone
Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa
I rely on myself just making sure that was clear I'm not in need of your crutches
I've faced all my fears and I won what I knew I could have
Life is not a punch card make the best of what you have
But don't wait just go
And when you find yourself please let me know
It's not too late just let go
Forget everything just for tonight we'll sing like everyone when they're alone
Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa
Let's believe that if we all stand together we're a force that can shake the whole world
For once we're doing something right when we sing whoa, whoa
In the end it's not about what you have
In the end it's all about where you wanna go
And the roads you take to help you get there I hope you think that's fair
Cause you've only got one life to lead so don't take for granted those little things
Those little things are all that we have
Forget everything just for tonight we'll sing like everyone when they're alone
Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa
Let's believe that if we all stand together we're a force that can shake the whole world
For once we're doing something right when we sing whoa, whoa
(I say whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Can't forget everything
Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa
You're afraid,
like I make my deals with the devil.
You've been at it for years
but couldn't reach that next level.
Let's keep it real,
this is no competition to me.
Even if everyone around you acts
like they don't see.
Is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
is what you'll always be.
I hold my cards to my chest.
I laid my life on the line
so I expect nothing less from you.
I speak the truth,
and everybody else knows it.
So set your ego to the side
and just get the fuck over it.
Can't waist my time
on hateful people like you.
So keep wishing you were me,
and I'll keep making you have to.
Is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
is what you'll always be.
I hold my cards to my chest.
I laid my life on the line
so I expect nothing less from you.
I just cant believe
its really come to this
because without me
you would not exist.
Hey hey
still got somethin left to say.
Only one in the world
I depend on is me.
I need nothin from no one
I take what I need.
Get ahold of yourself
and keep away from me.
Is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
is what you'll always be.
I hold my cards to my chest.
I laid my life on the line
so I expect nothing less from you.
I wonder if you'll notice, if they lock me up and throw away the key
Gotta be open minded, you've got a lot to learn in the ways of me
you've always got to say something,
I'm none of your concern but you wont listen at all
you know I'd rather say nothing, and just be proud of myself
I'm tearing down these walls.
When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you can I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I've found a better way
to help keep you from me, I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
You gotta keep this coming, tell me like you know it
but you don't know nothing, your call.
We can settle this like gentlemen, or meet me at the back
to end it all inside again.
My whole life's been waiting, ever since I can remember
Been anxious awaiting your fall, and don't let me be a long while
Can't let go of my life till I know you're done.
When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you can I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I've found a better way
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
You Want It, You've got It
You've always been such a waste of tim
You Want It, You've got It
A friend of your's is no friend of mine
You Want It, You've got It
When will you act your age
You Want It, You've got It
You're the reason things have to change
Wo-oh [2x]
You're the reason things have to change
Wo-oh [2x]
When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you can I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I've found a better way
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way
I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
2, 3, 4!
Remember when I tried?
I never strayed too far from you
Forever by your side
No matter what I was going through
But now I never know the things to say to you
That help me prove that I'm still on your side
I never show just what you do to me
Cause I'm what's always wrong
I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
I hate this town cause no one can understand
I just can't be tied down
Nothing comes between me and my plans
So now I never know the things to say to you
That help me prove that I'm still on your side
I never show just what you do to me
Cause I'm what's always wrong
I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
And don't believe a word they're telling to you
Don't believe a word they're telling to you
They let me down
When will I find where I fit in?
I hate this town
My world cannot ever bring me down
Gave everything I had to turn it back around
Cause our time's worth something bigger than both you and me
I can't live my life always backing down
I gotta do this right, then they can't make a sound
Cause I'm here for nothing, least I can say
I stand for something
You and me, we stand for something
I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
And don't believe a word they're telling to you
Don't believe a word they're telling to you
They let me down
When will I find where I fit in?
I hate this town
I'm a mess that's the best way to describe it
I leave no time to myself the only way I can fight it
When I'm alone it's like I'm staring into a mirror
Don't know the person inside it and that's never been any clearer
I miss our family and I miss all my friends
If you had it to do over your do it over again
Cause I would, it means something more to me
There's a whole in my heart where you use to be
I still wish you the best of luck baby
And don't go thinking this was a waste of time
I couldn't forget you if I tried
You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words may be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of my past mistakes down inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life
I confess, that I brought this all on my self
Condemned to suffer alone, like there's nobody else
When your gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing
So I'll keep living the lie and just hope that your listening
I tried to make us a life here
But our foundation was built on sand
Now stop and run until the damage was done
And I've never had the upper hand
I still wish you the best of luck baby
And don't go thinking this was a waste of time
I couldn't forget you if I tried
You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words may be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of my past mistakes down inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life
All the things you love are all the things I hate
How did we get here in the first place?
All but your cold blood inside your mind (All my trust)
Is always burning inside of me (All the way)
I can't make any more progress I know I'll faint
The only thing that can heal this this time is space
You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words may be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of my past mistakes down inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life
For my whole life
I've never felt so sober
I've never felt the way I feel tonight
Your words made everything drag on, and on
I finally found her, and when I did I just couldn't make things right
Is this really happening, oh god I think I just ruined my life
What the fuck am I doing?
I can't tell the difference from wrong and right
I can guess my decisions
cause I haven't been this person in my whole life
I think I need something new here
When I keep longing for what I had
No need for second opinions
I do the best I can to ruin what I have
come on
Don't think you've got to go in alone here
I've got nothing left to hide
your dying just make up your mind
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we're running out of time
Something just from the new year
Hey, Hey, Hey
It's a moment that's not as bad
it's what's a part of my vision
The optimistic me, so we can make this last but no
You ruined my favorite records
By singing them then I think of you
That's just hope you remember
All of the guilt inside, and I believed in you for once
Don't think you've got to go in alone here
I've got nothing left to hide
Your time, just make up your mind
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we're running out of time
Just know that it kills me
When I hear anything to do with you
You will see, oh believe me
I need to be right where you are
And know that I'm leaving, leaving
And you won't hear for a year from now
And this kills me.
Cause now I think that everything everything was about you
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we're running out of time
Don't think you've got to go in alone here
I've got nothing left to hide
Your time, just make up your mind
Let's go!!!
In the beginning I was upfront
Nothing to think about, you'd always hear me out
We made a pact and never gave up, when everything would change we'd always stay the same
Something went wrong along the way, you come around and there's nothing left to say
Its like we're strangers anyway
What more could you ask of me
It's been a long time coming
But everyone's going to hear me out
If I leave bet you'll wish I stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now
If I leave this, if I leave this way
I've always been a man of action
Never let anything keep a hold of me
Could always tell when somethings missing
Like I knew everything, except for you and me
I can't make you want to stay
I still gave it everything, I guess I'll never catch my break
It's been a long time coming
But everyone's going to hear me now
If I leave bet you'll wish I stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now
You know that time can't help us now
If I leave I'll move away
And try to right all the wrongs we ever made
Won't let your problems weigh me down
If I leave this, if I leave this
Never thought I'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we would come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
I've come to terms with exactly what we are
Never thought I'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we'd come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
I've come to terms with exactly what we are
If I leave bet you'll wish I stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now
You know that time can't help us now
If I leave I'll move away
And try to right all the wrongs we ever made
Won't let your problems weigh me down
If I leave this, if I leave this
Never thought I'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we would come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
I've come to terms with exactly what we are
If I leave this, if I leave this way<
Fuck yeah!
Remember way back when? They said this life was a dream.
Well it still is, I never wanna wake.
Standing in my backyard at our old practice space
Hard to hold back the tears from streaming down my face.
That was then, this is now.
You can't run before you go learn how, and you won't.
This is our corner of the world,
Where we can come to be ignored.
This is our point where we return.
This is where I came from.
This is where I came from.
Remember way back when? This place seemed bigger to me.
Learned how to play guitar, and made my mom watch me.
We always knew back then, just where I'd be right now.
We never questioned it, was more like when and how.
That was then, this is now.
You can't run before you go learn how, and you won't.
This is our corner of the world,
Where we can come to be ignored.
This is our point where we return.
This is where I came from.
This is what made us who we became.
Where they know me, not just my name.
There's not another place the same,
This is where I came from.
This is where I came from.
Yeah!
You had another thing coming if you were sleeping on us.
Same old voices in my ear saying enough is enough.
Well, I'm saying me and all my friends don't need you around.
[x2]
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from, I'm right back at it again.
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from, I'm right back at it again.
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from
This is what made us who we became.
Where they know me, not just my name.
There's not another place the same,
This is where I came from.
This is where I came from.
We're coming out swinging!
Started out in the spring of 2003.
Never went to school, nobody talked to me.
Except to tell me all the things I couldn't do.
Don't want to hear about it.
Cramming our bags into the back of all our cars.
We all but knew but seemed to never know the part.
I played a show that night till it made me sick.
So here I am.
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I've always said,
You're just too cool for school.
I ain't here to make no friends.
And I said hey! (HEY)!
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I have always said,
You're too cool for school.
I ain't here to make no friends.
That tour we'd go to the backup plan.
And everyone we knew that we couldn't stand.
Said if you can't make it here you won't make it there.
Don't want to hear about it.
Spent most of our nights sleeping on hardwood floors.
Needed help getting help getting through to any open doors.
Played a show that night, till it all made sense.
So here I am.
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I've always said,
You're too cool for school.
I ain't here to make no friends.
And I said hey (HEY)!
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I have always said,
You're too cool for school.
I ain't here to make no friends.
Don't wanna hear about it,
Don't wanna hear about it! (HEY)!
So here I am,
I'm right back at it again.
Just like I've always said,
You're just too cool for school.
I ain't here to make no friends.
And I said hey!
I'm right back at it again.
Just like you'll always say,
You're too cool for school.
I ain't here to make no (BRACE FOR IMPACT!)
Don't wanna hear about it!
Don't wanna hear about it!
You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me.
Take it away from me.
You can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait till I'm stumbling.
Go get carried away.
Go!
And the fears sets in, in an instant.
Too much of myself gets exposed.
This is where I go at my weakest,
When I don't have to be scared to tell the truth.
Tend to do my best when everything goes wrong.
That's why sad songs make me happy, cause I don't have to feel alone.
You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me.
Take it away from me.
You can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait till I'm stumbling.
No, you've got me wrong.
Oh the nights are long with no one else around.
You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me.
Go get carried away.
It's never what you've done, it's what you've done lately.
Who cares what you're saying, if no ones listening.
You don't have to like me, but you're gonna respect me.
I that came from nothing, leave hope in my wake.
I got no regrets, but have my days with doubt.
To those left in sadness I'll be the one to lead you out.
You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me.
Take it away from me.
You can't wait, wait, wait, wait, wait till I'm stumbling.
No, you've got me wrong.
Oh the nights are long with no one else around.
You wanna take, take, take, take, take it away from me.
Go get carried away.
I reserve my right to feel uncomfortable reserve my right to be afraid.
I make mistakes and I am humbled every step of the way.
I want to be a better person. I wanna know the master plan.
Cast your stones, cast your judgement, you don't make me who I am.
[x2]
God help those who help themselves, and forget about everyone else.
You lost your nerve, you missed the point.
God help those with open hands, may they never feel burden again.
Yeah I'll stand up for those who can't.
I'll close the distance.
Let me find the way that I can make do.
Without circumstance, without follow through.
A man in desperation can't trust a troubled mind.
I'm building an empire, say I'm wrong.
I don't mind if it's all against one.
No room for weakness, I'll be gone forever.
Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck.
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget.
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away.
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
I can't fight it.
I can't fight it.
I can't fight it.
I've slipped through the cracks.
I hold nothing back.
Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck.
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget.
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away.
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Never thought it'd be easy cause it's not if it's worth to have.
It'll pass you by. You have a choice, be your own person, have your own voice.
So let's set it off!
Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck.
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget.
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away.
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
Dead and buried.
What'd you expect from me?
It's not my fault you'll never be happy.
Just cause you're right doesn't mean I'm wrong,
Our days were numbered and we knew it all along.
Can't you let things be?
Now all that's left is misunderstandings.
Spent my nights wishing I was gone.
My dad was right, we will never get along.
So I'm done, cause things could never be the same.
This is the last time, this is the last time you'll ever burden me.
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe I trusted every word you said.
Stretched myself out way too far,
Now I can see you for who you are.
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe I trusted every word you said.
It's all finally making sense,
You took what's left of my innocence. Oh no,
I can't believe you got the best of me.
Can't you act your age?
Is it that hard to say what you're thinking?
Lately my life's moving way too fast
You'd drag me down if I'd let you hold me back.
What a mess you've made,
And you hide from it at the bars you frequent.
Blamed myself avoiding time this cost,
But looking back you only learn from what you lost.
So I'm done, cause things could never be the same.
This is the last time, this is the last time you'll ever burden me.
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe I trusted every word you said.
Stretched myself out way too far,
Now I can see you for who you are.
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe I trusted every word you said.
It's all finally making sense,
You took what's left of my innocence. Oh no,
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I will never be the one you want, no I will never be the one you want. (Oh-oh oh-oh)
Finally come to terms that I can't stop, no not this time. (Ye-yeah)
[x2]
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe I trusted every word you said.
Stretched myself out way too far,
Now I can see you for who you are.
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe I trusted every word you said.
It's all finally making sense,
You took what's left of my innocence. Oh no,
I can't believe you got the best of me.
I can't believe you got the best of me.
As I look round this make shift moving house
I'm searching for whatever's left of me
It's on the ground in a box that reads lost and found.
It's lost and found.
She said, just let it go.
She said, it's all you've ever known.
And I'm, I'm already gone
I'm already something to someone that I don't know.
When will I know?
And I'm, I'm out making rounds
On every side of town
That I've been through, that I know.
To find my reason to come back home.
I've worked it out you'll always bring me down.
From here on out I'm doing things for me.
I'm impatient now. I'm not the type for life alone,
I need someone.
She said, just let it go.
She said, it's all you've ever know.
And I'm, I'm already gone
I'm already something to someone that I don't know.
When will I know?
And I'm, I'm out making rounds
On every side of town
That I've been through, that I know.
To find my reason to come back home.
With everything that sets me back,
I push back harder to clear the way.
There's not a thing that I regret,
Can't live my life in yesterday.
[x2]
Life in yesterday.
And I'm, I'm already gone
I'm already something to someone that I don't know.
When will I know?
And I'm, I'm out making rounds
On every side of town
That I've been through, that I know.
To find my reason to come back home.
I've been feeling like everything is for nothing.
In fact I've never felt so God Damn small.
Always searching for the bright side to find the strength for when I fall.
I'm still believing that life has a meaning.
Cant cope with thinking that there's not.
I'm so divided that I try to hide it.
It's the only real thing that I've got!
So when the world outside cant see what's wrong and right.
People can't understand the reasons that we fight.
Somethings gotta give.
Violence, give me violence,
cause they say we're the worthless ones.
Substance, give me substance.
Heavy lies the crown as I cut you down.
[x2]
You can call this a warning.
It's a warning that were drowning in our malcontent.
Tear me down like a cancer, whats your answer?
We're different and it makes you sick.
There is a sadness here, on every corner,
It's in our hearts dear god
Don't wanna trouble you much,
But we all need to know when enough is enough.
So when the world outside cant see what's wrong and right.
People can't understand the reasons that we fight.
Somethings gotta give.
Violence, give me violence,
cause they say we're the worthless ones.
Substance, give me substance.
Heavy lies the crown as I cut you down.
[x2]
You only get one chance and that's one too much.
What's the world gonna say when I call your bluff, punk?
Bow your head.
Violence, give me violence,
cause they say we're the worthless ones.
Substance, give me substance.
Heavy lies the crown as I cut you down.
[x2]
When the curtain falls it rolls, unwraps, reminds me
The person that I am.
I'm still afraid, ashamed, of what's behind me,
But you gave me the strength to stand.
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame).
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know).
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said.
I'm a slave.
Sometimes when no one's left to listen I'll sit and argue with myself.
Say all the things I wish to tell you, without hurting someone else.
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame).
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know).
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said.
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid they'll walk with me until my end.
Hey you, when'd ya get so cold? (When'd ya get so cold?)
Hey you, just do what you're told, do what you're told.
Hey you, you're gonna be a star.
As long as you'll let us we'll make you the person that you aren't.
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said.
I'm a slave (I'm a slave) to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid (I'm afraid) they'll walk with me until my end.
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame).
You've got secrets, oh yeah,
And I've got a weakness for them.
No this ain't the time or place to show your face,
Cause you know that I can't stand
The need to get even. Tonight,
When everything ya say won't come out right.
So I'll try to save some face, and take my space
Till the times right, cause we'll need it.
So I surrender, I can't forget her.
Will you remember? The truth,
Cause they won't even want me to.
Wish you would read this, oh yeah,
And knew that I mean it. I did.
Yeah I could fill every page with all my ways
That I tried to understand.
Wished things could be different. Alright,
Well it ain't for the lack of how I tried.
So let's go our separate ways, and count the days
As we get by. Cause we'll get by.
So I surrender, I can't forget her.
Will you remember? The truth,
Cause they won't even want me to.
So I surrender, I can't forget her.
Will you remember? The truth
This'll drag on and on and on,
Where I'm the only one who's wrong.
It's always something, it's always something
With me and you.
[x2]
So I surrender
So I surrender
So I surrender, I can't forget her.
Will you remember? The truth,
Cause they won't even want me to.
They won't even want me to (I, I surrender)
They won't even want me to (I, I surrender)
(I, I surrender)
So I surrender.
Life lessons learned the hard way.
Four people waited in a random white unmarked van.
Parked outside your hotel high rise garage.
To use a tire iron to break the bones inside your legs.
Too bad you never came outside, that's all right,
'Cause in the end you'll get wrecked.
Yeah, in the end, you'll get wrecked.
I heard a little girl killed herself today, that blood's on your hands.
It's on your hands, when everyone knows your face, nothing's safe.
You'll live your life as a fucking target.
You've earned my disgust.
You've earned my disgust.
I took some time away
For understanding of what brought us here today
Oh, you'll be the end of me
I'm never happy like we were happy
I'm never sad like we were sad
Oh, you'll be the end of me
You know me all too well
And I can't suppress the memories
You're gone and I can tell
That I've lost more than you'll ever see
Don't say that it's not fair
That you're not the person you wanna be
Oh, you'll be the end of me
I know I wasn't perfect, but I kept trying
Till I forgot why I stayed
Oh, you'll be the end of me
Yeah we lost all meaning
We lost the magic
So good luck to you on your way
Oh, you'll be the end of me
Ya know me all too well
And I can't suppress the memories
You're gone and I can tell
That I've lost more than you'll ever see
Don't say that it's not fair
That you're not the person you wanna be
Oh, you'll be the end of me
You'll be the end of me
I get it, no, I get it
Gave more than I took back, oh well (so back away!)
I get it, no, I get it
Can't help those who don't wanna be helped
Ya know me all too well
And I can't suppress the memories
You're gone and I can tell
That I've lost more than you'll ever see
Don't say that it's not fair
That you're not the person you wanna be
Oh, you'll be the end of me
The end of me...
You're all about you, and it's my fast track to an early grave.
Just need to see this through
Do you even sleep at night?
Where does your conscience run to hide?
I gotta get out, I gotta get out.
Why can't you just do what's right by me?
I gotta get out, I gotta get out.
It can't get much harder, harder to breathe.
The room keeps spinning faster, I'm drifting off to sleep.
Hope it's seen beyond these walls you're suffocating me.
Why can't you see what three little words have done to me?
I never knew I was alone, you turned your back, you broke this home.
Took me so long to find the answers, and your reasons why.
I just wanted things to be alright, or at least for just tonight.
How's living a lie?
You never could face me,
And you hide behind fake personalities
Because deep down you're scared.
So weak beyond compare.
I gotta get out, I gotta get out.
Why can't we just go our separate ways?
I gotta get out, I gotta get out.
It won't be much farther, I'm counting the days.
The room keeps spinning faster, I'm drifting off to sleep.
Hope it's seen beyond these walls, you're suffocating me.
Why can't you see what three little words have done to me?
I never knew I was alone, you turned your back, you broke this home.
Took me so long to find the answers, and your reasons why.
I just wanted things to be alright, or at least for just tonight.
My friends still stand behind me.
We stuck together through all we lost.
Even when your worst surrounds me, you'll never get the best of us.
Why can't you see what three little words have done to me?
I never knew I was alone, you turned your back, you broke this home.
Took me so long to find the answers, and your reasons why.
I just wanted things to be alright, or at least for just tonight
No fucking respect.
All hail the thief forever trying to separate you and me.
All hail the thief forever trying to separate
No fucking respect.
I'd never wish any of this on anyone or anything.
Aw come on, you gotta try and look at things like me.
I never needed anything I got,
I never keep anything I have, what do I have?
Mostly things that'll never last.
Then I think back...
I remember when I first saw the country.
I remember sleeping in the van.
Said goodbye to friends and family cause they could never understand.
I remember jumping off of cliff tops.
I remember playing with no one there.
Yeah I knew if I became successful it wouldn't change who I am cause where I've been.
Cause where I've been.
They wonder why I hide myself from everyone,
from everything, man come on.
You wouldn't last a day as me.
Everyone loves me for my past, but they always hate me in the present.
Why can't you just meet me somewhere in the middle?
It's in the hardest times we grow the most.
I remember when I first saw the country.
I remember sleeping in the van.
Said goodbye to friends and family cause they could never understand.
I remember jumping off of cliff tops.
I remember playing with no one there.
Yeah I knew if I became successful it wouldn't change who I am cause where I've been.
Cause where I've been.
Speeding up, to slow down.
Side glances around this crowd all at me.
There must be something I can't see, so tell me.
Hold me up, help me out.
As I circle around what makes me happy.
There isn't one place that I can be without leaving.
This is my life.
I remember when I first saw the country.
I remember sleeping in the van.
Said goodbye to friends and family, they could never understand.
They don't understand.
They don't understand.
I remember jumping off of cliff tops.
I remember playing with no one there.
Yeah I knew if I became successful it wouldn't change who I am.
I remember the coast of California.
I remember trucks stops cross the land.
Never kept too many idols cause we were busy being them.
I remember waking up in Georgia. I remember quitting my last job.
Yeah I knew if I became successful it wouldn't change who I was, where I've been.
Cause where I've been.
[Bonus Track]
Guess things didn't go the way that you planned
I missed the days when you would understand
The way that I am.
You have me feeling lonely and detached.
Every time I'm moving forward
We take two steps back.
I need to have a moment to myself.
County lines, clear my mind with someplace else
Besides this stairwell.
Alone and on the road, I'm overwhelmed.
I need to find the difference in how I feel and how I felt.
Leave all the lights on
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on
I wish I could get back to the way things were.
When we were young, having fun, so self assured
But now that's all a blur.
I miss the way we always used to talk.
Now we talk ourselves in circle till we forget why we fought.
Leave all the lights on
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on,
If I'm not worth letting go.
Leave all the lights on
If you still care I need to know.
Leave all the lights on.
This gets me so down down down
Why can't we work it out? can't we work it out?
This makes me so down down down.
I've been trying to see, if you were meant for me.
You get me so down down down, I'm gonna turn this car around.
Just know that it's the last time,
Ya it's the last time.
Leave all the lights on
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone. (down down down)
Leave all the lights on,
If I'm not worth letting go.
Leave all the lights on, if you still cared I need to know. (down down down)
Leave all the lights on.
Guess things didn't go the way that you planned.
[Bonus Track]
Hello, you don't seem like yourself
At least from what I knew, you're somebody else
Oh no, it's so much harder to take
It took me four years to realize you're a fake
But I won't lie, I'd forfeit all the rest of my time to patch things up
Just to take back what you stole of mine
Good things don't end, they end badly
We've been here before and I'm all outta luck
It's not workin' out, we're just not workin' out
You know, I grew so tired of the games you consistently played, where I took all the blame
It's true, you're just unhappy with you
You drink every night, so you can't think things through
And I, I tried, to give you peace of mind
One day you'll wake up, and realize what's passed you by
Good things don't end, they end badly
We've been here before and I'm all outta luck
It's not workin' out, we're just not workin' out
Good things don't end, they end badly
You got a lot of nerve, and I'm not catching up
It's not workin' out, we're just not workin' out
You say it's over? I say, what's the rush?
No matter what, it's never enough
You don't care, I knew you never cared
You say it's over? I say, what's the rush?
No matter what, it's never enough
I don't care, you know that I ain't scared.
Good things don't end, they end badly
We've been here before and I'm all outta luck
It's not workin' out, we're just not workin' out
(You had a good thing, you lost a good thing)
Good things don't end, they end badly
You got a lot of nerve, and I'm not catching up
It's not workin' out, we're just not workin' out
Good things don't end, they end badly
[Bonus Track]
I've lost a part of me
Cause I am just an open book for everyone to see.
I always leave empty handed. I can't keep the things that mean the most to me.
I'm walking safe on a tightrope clinging only to the words I wrote.
I might be temporarily blind but I'm not stupid.
Can you tell me how you feel look me in the face (I've always wanted to know)
I'm going strong my God; you put me in my place. (Put in my place)
I can't stand it. I don't get it. Nothing ever seems to work when you're around.
You always build me up to break me down.
I'd give you everything but that would never be good enough and that's alright with me.
You take me for granted. I tried to help you be who you wanna be.
I'm a sucker for a complication.
Here goes another week it must seem.
You weren't worth my time. You weren't worth my time.
I still let you take it from me.
Can you tell me how you feel look me in the face (I've always wanted to know)
I'm going strong my God; you put me in my place. (Put in my place)
I can't stand it. I don't get it. Nothing ever seems to work when you're around.
You always build me up to break me down.
Why do I always do this to myself? Always depending on everyone else.
You know it's going to drive me crazy. You're just a notch in the wall that made me.
Why do I always do this to myself? Always depending on everyone else.
You know it's going to drive me crazy. You're just a notch in the wall that made me.

I'm going strong my God; you put me in my place. (Put in my place)
I can't stand it. I don't get it. Nothing ever seems to work when you're around.
You always build me up to break me down.
You always build me up to break me down.
You'll always build me up to break me down.
You break me down!
You break me down and everything I'm in love with!
You break me!
Don't forget that this is a choice
Pick your poison
Live with remorse
I could burn a hole with my eyes that cuts straight through the skin
No more love, no more resolution
It's getting harder bearing the darkness within
I gotta let it out
I'm gonna let it...
I can feel your bad vibrations
All around me
All consuming
Corrupting all that I am
This pain is a sickness looming over me, and I can't escape it
Casting shadows that continue to shape who I am on any given day
It's like a fog surrounds me applying pressure within
Weighing me down, seeing in double vision
It hits so hard I stu—stu—stutter my speech
Ya go kinda cold inside
Dancing on thin ice
I can feel your bad vibrations
All around me
All consuming
Corrupting all that I am
This pain is a sickness looming over me, and I can't escape it
Casting shadows that continue to shape who I am on any given day
Toxic
Toxic
Toxic
This darkness, this darkness
Leaves me empty like
I am the heartless
Toxic
Toxic within<
Expect the worst of everyone I meet
Count the clock cause I can't fucking sleep
Soon you'll pay like a heart attack
Call my friends I might not make it back
The doctor says I'm heading for destruction
Something's gotta give
I'm like a time bomb ticking in your head
Paranoia clouding your judgment
And no matter what you do about it, about it, about it
I'm still in your head!
I stop and stare scared of the UNKNOWN!
Unknown numbers been blowing up my phone
I'm hearing footsteps outside of my house
I'm afraid someone’s trying to take me out
The doctor says I’m heading for destruction
Can I fucking live?
I'm like a time bomb ticking in your head
Paranoia clouding your judgment
And no matter what you do about it, about it, about it
I'm like a time bomb ticking in your head
Paranoia clouding your judgment
And no matter what you do about it, about it, about it
I'm still in your head
(I'm still in your head) (I'm still in your head)
I AM YOUR BREAKING POINT!
YOU CAN'T RUN, YOU CAN'T HIDE
I'LL BE THERE WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AT NIGHT
I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU!
The doctor says I’m heading for destruction
My time is wearing thin
I'm like a time bomb ticking in your head
Paranoia clouding your judgment
And no matter what you do about it, about it, about it
I'm like a time bomb, (time bomb) ticking in your head, (your head)
Paranoia clouding your judgment, (your judgment)
And no matter what you do about it, about it, about it
I'm still in your head
What I hate about getting older
Where's my naivety?
Wonder when I'm gonna get taller
Where's my naivety?
Thinking back when we were younger
All of the things we believed that we could do
Don't wanna live by fear of failure
Where's my naivety?
Somehow lost along the way
This is me
Honestly
I've got no apologies
I'm done chasing things that don't belong to me
This is real
It's how I feel
With one shoulder on the wheel
What I'm searching for grows further out of reach
What I hate about getting older
Where's my naivety?
Wonder what it's like not being sober
Where's my naivety?
Looking back when we were younger
Every mistake was a chance that we could take
Now I think I'm just getting colder
Where's my naivety?
It got lost along the way
This is me
Honestly
I've got no apologies
I'm done chasing things that don't belong to me
This is real
It's how I feel
With one shoulder on the wheel
What I'm searching for grows further out of reach
I swear you won't take me back
I don't care that's all in my past
I'm waiting for what's next
And I won't let it slip away
Get me through another day
This is me
Honestly
I've got no apologies
I'm done chasing things that don't belong to me
This is real
It's how I feel
With one shoulder on the wheel
What I'm searching for grows further out of reach
What I hate about getting older
Where's my naivety?
Where's my naivety?
I won't accept your fear.
Another stagnant year.
I'm pro-American but anti-politician.
They'll trade you a voice.
For an illusion of choice.
Truth hits like a god damn premonition.
Inroads to the hangman's noose.
We got a lot to lose.
Is there where you wanna be?
Exhumed they're not through with you until you're left exposed.
Is this who you wanna be?
Take what's been given or have none.
The only claim of the workers in song.
Get back in line you've all been warned.
"We was beat when we was born."
Inroads to the hangman's noose.
We got a lot to lose.
Is this where you wanna be?
Exhumed they're not through with you until you're left exposed.
Is this who you wanna be?
Like a shark that's combing the surface.
We got a taste for blood.
Don't believe what the pacifist tells you.
No war, no peace.
What a waste, I see you now and then
But mostly we pretend we're not more strangers than we're friends
Then we say, what we need to say, to try and get away from the tension we create
Why can't we say the things, the things we wish we would
Why can't we laugh the way, the way we know we should
Fall under the weight of all the pressure that's misplaced
Flaws that I embrace
Everybody sees your head’s hung low
They don't ask, they don't wanna know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark,
I'll be your light led through the darkness
I get
I get
I get so misunderstood
Something changed the way we interact
Now we can't get it back
Another relic of the past
Makes you think, did I ever know you at all?
Follow until I fall
Vultures circling in the sun
Why can't we say the things, the things we wish we would
Why can't we laugh the way, the way we know we should
Fall under the weight of all the pressure that's misplaced
Flaws that I embrace
Everybody sees your head’s hung low
They don't ask, they don't wanna know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark,
I'll be your light led through the darkness
I get
I get
I get so misunderstood
You can't just avoid the issue
You should learned from the things we've been through
You don't know what you have until it’s lost
Till the hammer drops
Brace, fall [8x]
Fall under the weight of all the pressure that's misplaced
Flaws that I embrace
Everybody sees your head’s hung low
They don't ask, they don't wanna know us
I'll be the one, I'll be your spark,
I'll be your light led through the darkness
I get
I get
I get so misunderstood
I have come undone.
Desperate and out of touch.
Fall when I should run.
Am I worth a reassemble?
I have come undone.
This illness is my crutch.
Call out to anyone.
Am I worth a reassemble?
I toss, turn beneath the waves.
A silent victim of the depths.
Cast aside I'm scrambling to catch my…
I can't find my way out, as I'm descending.
My path remains unclear as the water overtakes me.
Drowning in my despair.
I have come undone.
Desperate and out of touch.
Fall when I should.
Am I worth a reassemble?
I have come undone.
This illness is my crutch.
Call out to anyone.
Am I worth a reassemble?
My thoughts are not my own.
No where's safe alone in the tide.
I'm alone and it sinks in.
The current's pulling me under.
Drowning in my despair.
I have come undone.
Desperate and out of touch.
Fall when I should run.
Am I worth a reassemble?
I have come undone. This illness is my crutch.
Call out to anyone.
Am I worth a reassemble?
The surf's against us.
Are we able?
Forgive our faults when they're shameful.
Let's be honest with ourselves.
Worn and broken.
Reassembled.
Forgive our thoughts when they're shameful.
Let's be honest with ourselves.
Let's be honest with ourselves.
Burn me alive.
If you feel that's justified.
I need more than faith.
To see you on the other side.
Can you hear me?
The lowly one.
Do ya fear me?
You righteous ones.
Bow down to all earth's creation.
Every man of every nation.
Who's right and wrong at times like these?
Burn me alive.
If you feel that's justified.
I need more than faith.
To see you on the other side.
Can you hear me?
The lowly one.
Do ya fear me?
You righteous ones.
I believe in a life before death.
That happiness and virtue coexist.
And if you only believe to hedge the bet.
You're gonna pay your debt.
Burn me alive.
If you feel that's justified.
I need more than faith.
To see you on the other side.
The lowly ones need more than this.
To see you on the other side.
Burn me alive, feel nothing, leave nothing, learn nothing, then be on your way.
Be on your way.
Do ya fear me?
You righteous ones.
Can you hear me?
The lowly ones.
The lowly ones.
To anyone who's alone in a crowded room:
Put your hands up high, sing it out of tune.
It's these late nigh hours we spend, that help me up from down.
You're just like me when I was your age.
We all knew better, name it, we've been there.
When I had a place that I could call my own.
We spent most days counting the ways.
We would get through it, but they said we were stupid.
Now all those kids say they knew us so well.
Com one get real.
To anyone who's alone in a crowded room:
Put your hands up high, sing it out of tune.
It's these late night hours we spend, that help me up from down.
We got this.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Here's to the future it was nice that I knew ya.
Go find something that makes you feel complete.
Till next time we meet.
To anyone who's alone in a crowded room.
Put your hands up high, sing it out of tune.
It's these late night hours we spend that help me up from down.
We got his.
You're just like me when I was your age.
Things do get better, trust me I've been there.
To anyone
To anyone.
To anyone who's alone in a crowded room:
Put your hands up high, sing it out of tune.
It's these late night hours we spend, that help me up from down.
We got this.
just a wave, an emotion, and right then I knew that everything had changed.
A whole side of you that went missing's gone and all I'd thought of you is wrong gotta step away, for perspective.
Need to take a chance to clear my head.
Don't wanna understand your position.
Ought to wash me of you and run.
Think I lost my nerve, like I lost in you.
Held trapped by what we were.
No, I'll never feel the same about you.
Spent time today reminiscing.
Think I learned a lot about who we are.
Couldn't diagnose your condition.
But now I see the signs you left behind.
Think I lost my nerve, like I lost you.
And the truth remains unheard.
No, I'll never feel the same about you.
Some roads you can't come back from, when you extract truth from the lie.
No, I'll never feel the same about you.
Turn off the radio.
There's something missing.
There's an anger in living half the world away.
I hope you listen for a person.
With perspective.
That isn't always the same.
No need to water it down right now, you play the victim, but it's all a charade.
Times they, they are a-changin', get your things in order or get out of the way.
And it goes on and and on and on.
Turn off the radio till they've got something real to say.
Turn off the radio to clear my mind and let me think.
I need an answer, I've got the questions.
Can't anyone out there just relate?
Turn off the radio.
There's a division in our culture that we live with every day.
We're just people eating people.
Such a sick sad world we live in today.
All I know's I wanna be everything expected of me.
So everyone we can agree somebody out there understands me.
And it goes on and on and on.
Turn off the radio till they've got something real to say.
Turn off the radio to clear my mind and let me think. I need an answer, I've got questions.
Can anyone out there just relate?
Turn off the radio.
Someone out there if you're listening, we're the victims of our indifference.
Tell us more without controlling.
What we think what you're showing.
Turn off the radio till they've got something real to say.
Turn off the radio to clear my mind and me think.
I need an answer, I've got the questions.
Can anyone out there just relate?
Turn off the radio.
I feel like a runaway.
Seeing the light of day for the first time.
I'm drawing the line.
It's hard to care when you know it all.
In slow motion I watch you fall, like you're blind, thoughts poison the mind.
I always bend when it comes to you.
I think you'll change but ya never do, you never do.
I enable you.
Let me down, let me down like only you know how.
Shut me out, shut me out, forgive and forget.
Wish that I could say this to your face.
Something different, something brave.
Wish I would, but I never could.
I feel you slowly pulling me in.
I try to help but it's sink or swim and you're a weight.
There's comfort in pain.
Let me drown, let me down like only you know how.
Shut me out, shut me out, forgive and forget.
You've drained all the love I had.
All I had for you.
Ya you've drained all the love I had.
All I had for you.
Let me down, let me down, like only you know how. Shut me out, shut me out, forgive and forget.

These walls, this house, wasn't the plan when I built it out.
We fell, from great heights, disgusted looks in my neighbor's eyes.
You reflect me in my negative space.
Please forgive me for the time you'll waste.
If you let me I'll give you a taste.
Everyone eventually lets you down.
Your heart, my lungs, in unison when I bite my tongue.
Escape, at long last, burn the bridge never look back.
You reflect me in my negative space.
Please forgive me for the time you'll waste.
If you let me I'll give you a taste.
Everyone eventually lets you down.
I don't care.
I don't care.
About what you think.
I won't hear.
I won't hear.
Anything you say.
Anything you say.
You reflect me in my negative space.
Please forgive me for the time you'll waste.
If you let me I'll give you a taste.
Everyone eventually lets you down.

December ain't cold at all this year in Florida.
But I'm still chilled to the bone.
The mind plays tricks this time of the year in Florida.
It's not the time to be alone.
I feel the less you love the less you feel alive.
I feel to understand it starts from the inside.
And I feel the patience is a lesson learned in time.
To be good with your own life's to be good with mine.
Time stands still this time of year in Florida.
The only time I feel at home.
The neighborhood kids run down the road in Florida.
It's got me scared I missed the boat.
I feel the less you love the less you feel alive.
I feel to understand it starts from the inside.
And I feel that patience is a lesson learned in time.
To be good with your won life's to bee with mine.
I always knew that I would leave, but I didn't think it'd change a part of me.
Can't get back to who I was back then.
Feels wrong to shut that out.
Seems wrong to pretend.
I feel the less you love the less you feel alive.
I feel to understand it starts from the inside.
And I feel that patience is a lesson learned in time.
To be good with your own life's to be good with mine.
