No, sir

Well, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore

It's your turn

So take a seat we're settling the final score

And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide

You have made it harder just to go on

And why?

All the possibilities, well I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating

And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I wonder

How am I supposed to feel when you're not here

Cause I burned

Every bridge I ever built when you were here?

I still try

Holding onto silly things, I never learn

Oh why?

All the possibilities I'm sure you've heard

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)

And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

Pain, make your way to me, to me

And I'll always be just so (so) inviting

If I ever start to think straight

This heart will start a riot in me

Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?

Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa!

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

Now I can't trust myself with anything but this

And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I'm in the business of misery

Let's take it from the top

She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock

It's a matter of time before we all run out

When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months, she finally set him free

I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me

Two weeks and we had caught on fire

She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now

But God, does it feel so good

Cause I got him where I want him now

And if you could, then you know you would

Cause God it just feels so

It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change

Once a whore, you're nothing more

I'm sorry, that'll never change

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged

I'm sorry, honey, but I passed it up, now look this way

Well, there's a million other girls who do it just like you

Looking as innocent as possible to get to who

They want and what they want, it's easy if you do it right

Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now

But God, does it feel so good

Cause I got him where I want him right now

And if you could, then you know you would

Cause God, it just feels so

It just feels so good

I watched his wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving you

Just watch my wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now

But God, does it feel so good

Cause I got him where I want him now

And if you could then you know you would

Cause God, it just feels so

It just feels so good

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me

Well, I guess I'll make my own way

It's a circle, a mean cycle

I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?

What's my offense this time?

You're not a judge, but if you're gonna judge me

Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs

I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault

Cause you know we're not the same (no)

We're not the same (no)

Oh, we're not the same

Yeah, the friends who stuck together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (hey)

It's good (hey), it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go

I'd best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go

I'd best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could have happened

Any longer and I wouldn't have made it

It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture

I'm just a person, but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me

They won't get you anywhere

I'm not the same kid from your memory

Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs

I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault

Cause you know we're not the same (no)

We're not the same (no)

Oh, we're not the same

Yeah, we used to stick together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (hey)

It's good (hey), it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go

I'd best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go

I'd best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Well, you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go

I'd best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir

I guess I'll go

I'd best be on my way out

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there

I'll beg you nice from my knees

And when the world treats you way too fairly

Well, it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times

And fall asleep on the couch

And wake up early to black-and-white reruns

That escaped from my mouth (oh, oh)

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning

Just to relive the start

And maybe then we'd remember to slow down

At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

How can I decide what's right?

When you're clouding up my mind

I can't win your losing fight

All the time

Nor could I ever own what's mine

When you're always taking sides

But you won't take away my pride

No, not this time

Not this time

How did we get here

When I used to know you so well?

How did we get here?

Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes

And it's hanging on your tongue

Just boiling in my blood

But you think that I can't see

What kind of man that you are

If you're a man at all

Well, I will figure this one out

On my own

(I'm screaming, I love you so)

On my own

(But my thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?

When I used to know you so well?

Yeah, how did we get here?

Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?

We're gonna make such fools of ourselves

Do you see what we've done?

We're gonna make such fools of ourselves

Yeah, yeah

How did we get here

When I used to know you so well? Yeah

How did we get here

When I used to know you so well?

I think I know

I think I know

There is something I see in you

It might kill me, I want it to be true

I don't mind

Letting you down easy, but just give it time

If it don't hurt now then just wait, just wait a while

You're not the big fish in the pond no more

You are what they're feeding on

So what are you gonna do

When the world don't orbit around you?

So what are you gonna do

When the world don't orbit around you?

Ain't it fun?

Living in the real world

Ain't it good?

Being all alone

Where you're from

You might be the one who's running things

Where you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want

See it's easy to ignore trouble

When you're living in a bubble

So what are you gonna do

When the world don't orbit around you?

So what are you gonna do

When nobody wants to fool with you?

Ain't it fun?

Living in the real world

Ain't it good?

Being all alone?

Ain't it good to be on your own?

Ain't it fun? You can't count on no one

Ain't it good to be on your own?

Ain't it fun? You can't count on no one

Ain't it fun?

Living in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama

Cause you're on your own in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama

Cause you're on your own in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama

Cause you're on your own in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama

Cause you're on your own in the real world

Ain't it fun, ain't it fun?

Baby, now you're one of us

Ain't it fun, ain't it fun?

Ain't it fun?

Ain't it fun?

Living in the real world

Ain't it good? (Ain't it good?)

Being all alone

Ain't it fun living in the real world?

('Cause the world don't orbit around you)

Ain't it good? (Ain't it good?)

Being all alone

Don't go crying to your mama (Run to your mama)

Cause you're on your own in the real world (Don't go crying)

Don't go crying to your mama (To your mama)

Cause you're on your own in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama

Cause you're on your own in the real world (This is the real world)

Don't go crying to your mama

Cause you're on your own in the real world (This is the real world)

Don't go crying (This is the real world) to your mama

Cause you're on your own in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama (Don't you cry)

Cause you're on your own in the real world

Don't go crying (Don't you go, don't you go crying)

Don't go crying (You're on your own)

Don't go crying (Don't go crying to your mama)

Don't go crying

I got a lot to say to you

Yeah, I got a lot to say

I noticed your eyes are always glued to me

Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush (two, three, four)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than this

If you wanna play it like a game

Well, come on, come on, let's play

Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending

Than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush (two, three, four)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than this now

Rock and roll, baby

Don't you know that we're all alone now?

I need something to sing about

Rock and roll, hey

Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?

I need something to sing about

Rock and roll, hey

Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?

Give me something to sing about

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than, no

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one, two, I was just counting on

That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than

More than this

Oh-ho, oh-oh, oh-oh

Ooh, ooh

Can't count the years on one hand

That we've been together

I need the other one to hold you.

Make you feel, make you feel better.

It's not a walk in the park

To love each other.

But when our fingers interlock,

Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it

Cause after all this time.

I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies

But i'm into you (I'm in to you)

And baby even on our worst nights

I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let em wonder how we got this far

Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah after all this time

I'm still into you

Recount the night that I first

Met your mother

And on the drive back to my house

I told you that, I told you that I loved ya.

You felt the weight of the world

Fall off your shoulder

And to your favorite song

We sang along to the start of forever

And after all this time.

I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies

But i'm into you (I'm in to you)

And baby even on our worst nights

I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let em wonder how we got this far

Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah after all this time

I'm still into you

Some things just,

Some things just make sense

And one of those is you and I

Some things just,

Some things just make sense

And even after all this time

I'm into You

Baby not a day goes by that

I'm not into you

I should be over all the butterflies

But i'm into you (I'm in to you)

And baby even on our worst nights

I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let em wonder how we got this far

Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah after all this time

I'm still into you

I'm still into you

I'm still into you

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched

As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore

That she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

But darling, you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone

Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now I had sworn to myself

That I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

But you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

Well, she lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of a world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure, the lens, I told her

The angles were all wrong now

She's ripping wings off of butterflies

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da

So one day he found her crying

Coiled up on the dirty ground

Her prince finally came to save her

And the rest you can figure out

But it was a trick and the clock struck 12

Well, make sure to build your home brick by-by boring brick

Or the wolf's gonna blow it down

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

And we'll bury the castle, bury the castle

Whoa

Whoa, whoa

Well, you built up a world of magic

Because your real life is tragic

Yeah, you built up a world of magic

Well, if it's not real

You can't hold it in your hand

You can't feel it with your heart

And I won't believe it

But if it's true

You can see it with your eyes

Oh, even in the dark

And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da

Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da

Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba (ba)

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da

Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da

Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

All that I want

Is to wake up fine

Tell me that I'm alright

That I ain't gonna die

All that I want

Is a hole in the ground

You can tell me when it's alright

For me to come out

gonna make you wonder why you even try

(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry

(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive

(Hard times)

(Hard times)

And I gotta get to rock bottom

Walking around

With my little rain cloud

Hanging over my head

And it ain't coming down

Where do I go?

Gimme some sort of sign

You hit me with lightning

Maybe I'll come alive

gonna make you wonder why you even try

(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry

(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive

(Hard times)

(Hard times)

And I gotta hit rock bottom

Tell my friends I'm coming down

We'll kick it when I hit the ground

Tell my friends I'm coming down

We'll kick it when I hit the ground

When I hit the ground

When I hit the ground

When I hit the ground

When I hit the ground

gonna make you wonder why you even try

(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry

(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive

(Hard times) (hard times)

(Hard times) (hard times)

gonna make you wonder why you even try

(Hard times) gonna take you down and laugh when you cry

(These lives) and I still don't know how I even survive

(Hard times) (hard times)

(Hard times)

And I gotta get to rock bottom

You were my conscience

So solid, now you're like water

And we started drowning

Not like we'd sink any farther

But I let my heart go

It's somewhere down at the bottom

But I'll get a new one

And come back for the hope that you've stolen

I'll stop the whole world

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

Eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours

I'm only human

I've got a skeleton in me

But I'm not the villain

Despite what you're always preaching

They call me a traitor

I'm just collecting your victims

And they're getting stronger

I hear them calling (calling)

They're calling

I'll stop the whole world

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

Eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Well, now that you're gone, the world is ours

Well, you find your strength in solutions

But I like the tension

And not always knowing the answers

But you're gonna lose it

You're gonna lose it

I'll stop the whole world

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

And eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Well, now that you're gone, the world

I'll stop the whole world

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

And eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder how we survive?

Now that you're gone, the world is ours

I can't make my own decisions

Or make any with precision

Well, maybe you should tie me up

So I don't go where you don't want me

You say that I've been changing

That I'm not just simply aging

Yeah, how could that be logical?

Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

You don't have to believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

If God's the game that you're playing

Well, we must get more acquainted

Because it has to be so lonely

To be the only one who's holy

It's just my humble opinion

But it's one that I believe in

You don't deserve a point of view

If the only thing you see is you

You don't have to believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

This is the last second chance

(I'll point you to the mirror)

I'm half as good as it gets

(I'll point you to the mirror)

I'm on both sides of the fence

(I'll point you to the mirror)

Without a hint of regret

I'll hold you to it

I know you don't believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

I know you won't believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Then break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

For all I know

The best is over and the worst is yet to come

Is it enough

To keep on hoping when the rest have given up?

And they go

I hate to say I told you so

But they love to say they told me so

I hate to say I told you so

But they love to say they told me

Say they, say they told me

Say they, say they told me

Well you say, you say you told me

I know you like

When I admit that I was wrong and you were right

At least I try

To keep my cool when I'm thrown into a fire

And they go

I hate to say I told you so

But they love to say they told me so

I hate to say I told you so

But they love to say they told me

Say they, say they told me

Say they, say they told me

Well you say, you say you told me

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire

Throw me in, pull me out again

I hate to say I told you so

But they love to say they told me so

I hate to say I told you so

But they love to say they told me

say they, say they told me

(Throw me into the fire)

(Throw me in) say they, say they told me

(Throw me into the fire)

(Throw me in) well, you say, you say you told me

(Say, "I told you", say, "I told you")

(Told you so)

I don't even know myself at all

I thought I would be happy but now

The more I try to push it I realize gonna let go of control

Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen,

Gonna let it happen, just let it happen

It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going

And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing

Every night I try my best to dream tomorrow makes it better

And wake up to the cold reality and not a thing is changed

But it would be happen, gonna let it happen

Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen

It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going

And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing

It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going

And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing

And the salt in my wounds isn't burning anymore than it used to

It's not that I don't feel the pain it's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore

And the blood of these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has

And that's the hope I have the only thing I know that's keeping me alive

Alive

Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen

Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen

Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen

Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen

It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going

And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing

It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going

And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing

Tell me where our time went

And if it was time well spent

Just don't let me fall asleep

Feeling empty again

Cause I fear I might break

And I fear I can't take it

Tonight I'll lie awake

Feeling empty

I can feel the pressure

It's getting closer now

We're better off

Without you

I can feel the pressure

It's getting closer now

We're better off

Without you

Now that I'm losing hope

And there's nothing else to show

For all of the days that we spent

Carried away from home

Some things I'll never know

And I had to let them go

I'm sitting all alone

Feeling empty

I can feel the pressure

It's getting closer now

We're better off

Without you

I can feel the pressure

It's getting closer now

We're better off

Without you

(Without you)

Some things I'll never know

And I had to let them go

Some things I'll never know

And I had to let them go

But I'm sitting all alone

Feeling empty

I can feel the pressure

It's getting closer now

We're better off

Without you

Feel the pressure

It's getting closer now

You're better off

Without me

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

Rose-colored boy

I hear you making all that noise

About the world you want to see

And oh, I'm so annoyed

Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me

I had to break it, the wars are raging on

And I have taken my glasses off

You got me nervous

I'm right at the end of my rope

A half empty girl

Don't make me laugh, I'll choke

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

I want you to stop insisting that I'm not a lost cause

Cause I've been through a lot

Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off

If it's all right by you

I had to break it, the wars are raging on

And I have taken my glasses off

You got me nervous

And you're turning it into a joke

A half empty girl

Don't make me laugh, I'll...

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

Leave me here a little bit longer

I think I wanna stay in the car

I don't want anybody seeing me cry now

You say "We gotta look on the bright side"

I say "Well, maybe if you wanna go blind"

You say my eyes are getting too dark now

But boy, you ain't ever seen my mind

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

Hey, man, we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

Just let me cry a little bit longer

I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to

I know we all can't be like you

I wish we were all rose-colored too

My rose-colored boy

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

There is not a single word in the whole world

That could describe the hurt

The dullest knife just sawing back and forth

And ripping through the softest skin there ever was

How were you to know?

Oh, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

Love, happens all the time

To people who aren't kind

And heroes who are blind

Expecting perfect scripted movie scenes

But what's an awkward silence mystery?

How were you to know?

Oh, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

For all the air that's in your lungs

For all the joy that is to come

For all the things that you're alive to feel

Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal

Oh, how were you to know?

Oh, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

I love making you believe

What you get is what you see

But I'm so fake happy

I feel so fake happy

And I bet everybody here

Is just as insincere

We're all so fake happy

And I know fake happy

I been doing a good job of makin' 'em think

I'm quite alright

But I hope I don't blink

You see its easy when I'm stomping on a beat

But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath

If I smile with my teeth

Bet you believe me

If I smile with my teeth

I think I believe me

Oh please don't ask me how I've been

Don't make me play pretend

Oh no, oh what's the use?

Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too

And if I go out tonight, dress up my fears

You think I'll look alright with these mascara tears?

See I'm gonna draw my lipstick wider than my mouth

And if the lights are low they'll never see me frown

If I smile with my teeth

Bet you believe me

If I smile with my teeth

I think I believe me

Oh please don't ask me how I've been

Don't make me play pretend

Oh no, oh oh what's the use?

Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too

I know I said that I was doing good and that I'm happy now

Oh oh

I should've known that when things are going good

That's when I get knocked down

Oh please, just don't ask me how I've been

Don't make me play pretend

Oh no, oh no

Oh what's the use?

Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too

Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too

I think we have an emergency

I think we have an emergency

If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong

Cause I won't stop holding on

So are you listening?

So are you watching me?

If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong

Cause I won't stop holding on

This is an emergency

So are you listening?

And I can't pretend that I don't see this

It's really not your fault

That no one cares to talk about it

To talk about it

Cause I've seen love die

Way too many times

When it deserved to be alive

When it deserved to be alive

I've seen you cry

Way too many times

When you deserved to be alive

Alive

So you give up every chance you get

Just to feel new again

I think we have an emergency

I think we have an emergency

And you do your best to show me love

But you don't know what love is

So are you listening?

So are you watching me?

Well, I can't pretend that I don't see this

It's really not your fault

That no one cares to talk about it

To talk about it?

Cause I've seen love die

Way too many times

When it deserved to be alive

When it deserved to be alive

I've seen you cry

Way too many times

When you deserved to be alive

Alive

These scars, they will not fade away

No one cares to talk about it

To talk about it

Cause I've seen love die

Way too many times

When it deserved to be alive

When it deserved to be alive

I've seen you cry

Way too many times

When you deserved to be alive

Alive

I settled down

A twisted up frown

Disguised as a smile, well

You would have never known

I had it all

But not what I wanted

Cause hope for me

Was a place uncharted

And overgrown

You'd make your way in

I'd resist you just like this

You can't tell me to feel

The truth never set me free

So, I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out a little more

More

More

More, more

Open your eyes like I opened mine

It's only the real world

A life you will never know

Shifting your weight

To throw off the pain

Well You can ignore it

But, only for so long

You look like I did

You resist me just like this

You can't tell me to heal

And, it hurts remembering

How it felt to shut down

Can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out a little more

More

More

More, more

Truth never set me free

The truth never set me free

The truth never set me free

So, I'll do it myself

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out

Can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out

More

More

More

More, more

I'm sitting in a room

Made up of only big white walls and in the hall

There are people looking through the window in the door

They know exactly what we're here for

Don't look up, just let them think

There's no place else you'd rather be

You're always on display

For everyone to watch and learn from

Don't you know by now?

You can't turn back

Because this road is all you'll ever have

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying

Just living proof that the camera's lying

And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night

So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style

You'll go out in style

If you let me I could

I'd show you how to build your fences

Set restrictions, separate from the world

The constant battle that you hate to fight

Just blame the limelight

Don't look up, just let them think

There's no place else you'd rather be

And now you can't turn back

Because this road is all you'll ever have

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying

Just living proof that the camera's lying

And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night

So smile

Yeah, yeah you're asking for it

With every breath that you breathe in, just breathe it in

Yeah, yeah, well you're just a mess

You do all this big talking

So now let's see you walk it

I said let's see you walk it

Yeah, yeah, well you're just a mess

You do all this big talking

So now let's see you walk it

I said let's see you walk it

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying

Just living proof that the camera's lying

And oh, oh, open wide, yeah, oh, oh, open wide

Yeah, oh, oh, open wide, 'cause you'll go out in style

You'll go out in style

Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place

If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday

If only time flew like a dove

We gotta make it fly faster than I'm falling in love

This time we're not giving up

Let's make it last forever

Screaming "Hallelujah"

We'll make it last forever

Holding onto patience, wearing thin

I can't force these eyes to see the end

If only time flew like a dove

We could watch it fly and just keep looking on

This time we're not giving up

Let's make it last forever

Screaming "Hallelujah"

We'll make it last forever

And we've got time on our hands

And we've got, got nothing but time on our hands

Got nothing but, got nothing but

Got nothing but time on our hands

This time we're not giving up

Oh, let's make it last forever

Screaming hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah

Just talk yourself up

And tear yourself down

You've hit your one wall

Now find a way around

Well, what's the problem?

You've got a lot of nerve

So what did you think I would say?

No, you can't run away

No, you can't run away

So what did you think I would say?

No, you can't run away

No, you can't run away

You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

You threw it away

I'm not so naïve

My sorry eyes can see

The way you fight shy

Of almost everything

Well, if you give up

You'll get what you deserve

So what did you think I would say?

No, you can't run away

No, you can't run away

So what did you think I would say?

No, you can't run away

No, you can't run away

You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

You threw it away

You were finished long before

We had even seen the start

Why don't you stand up? Be a man about it

Fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay, well did you?

I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

And I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

I am going away for a while

But I'll be back don't try and follow me

Cause I'll return as soon as possible

See, I'm trying to find my place

But it might not be here where I feel safe

We all learn to make mistakes

And run from them, from them

With no direction

We'll run from them, from them

With no conviction

Cause I'm just one of those ghosts

Travelin' endlessly

Don't need no roads

In fact, they follow me

And we just go in circles

But now I'm told that this is life

And pain is just a simple compromise

So we can get what we want out of it

Would someone care to classify

Our broken hearts and twisted minds

So I can find someone to rely on?

And run to them, to them

Full-speed ahead

Oh, you are not useless

We are just

Misguided ghosts

Travelin' endlessly

The ones we trusted the most

Pushed us far away

And there's no one road

And we should not be the same

But I'm just a ghost

And still they echo me

They echo me in circles

Don't try to take this from me

Don't try to take this from me now

Don't try to take this from me

Don't try to take this from me now

Feels like I'm waking from the dead

And everyone's been waiting on me

Least now I'll never have to wonder

What it's like to sleep a year away

But were we indestructible

I thought that we could brave it all

I never thought that what would take me out

Was hiding down below

Lost the battle, win the war

Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore

We're starting over, or head back in

There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

Don't try to take this from me

Don't try to take this from me now

Don't try to take this from me

Don't try to take this from me now

Wish I could find a crystal ball

For the days I feel completely worthless

You know I'd use it all for good

I would not take it for granted (granted)

Instead, I'd have some memories

For the days I don't feel anything

At the least, they will remind me

Not to make the same mistakes again

Lost the battle, win the war

Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore

We're starting over, or head back in

There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

There's a time and a place to die

There's a time and a place to die

And this ain't it

There's a time and a place to die

And this ain't it, this ain't it

This ain't it

There's a time and a place to die

There's a time and a place to die

But this ain't it, no

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

If there's a future, we want it now

Now

Now

What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.

A memory remains just a tiny spark.

I give it all my oxygen,

to let the flames begin.

to let the flames begin.

Oh, glory.

Oh, glory.

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down.

This is what will be.

Oh, glory.

Somewhere weakness is our strength,

And I'll die searching for it.

I can't let myself regret such selfishness.

My pain and all the trouble caused,

No matter how long

I believe that there's hope

Buried beneath it all and

Hiding beneath it all, and

Growing beneath it all, and...

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be.

Oh, glory.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when,

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be.

Oh, glory.

Oh no, I just keep on falling (Back to the same old)

And where's hope, when misery comes crawling? (Oh my way, eh)

With your fate, you'll trigger a landslide (Victory)

And kill off this common sense of mine

And it takes acquired minds

To taste, to taste, to taste this wine

You can't down it with your eyes

So we don't need the headlines

We don't need the headlines, we just want

(We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back)

Everybody sing

Like it's the last song you will ever sing

Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody live

Like it's the last day you will ever see

Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?

Right now, you're the only reason (I'm not letting go, oh)

And time out, if everyone's worth pleasing (Well ha)

You'll trigger a landslide (Victory)

To kill off the finite state of mind

And it takes acquired minds

To taste, to taste, to taste this wine

You can't down it with your eyes

So we don't meet the headlines

No, we don't want your headlines, we just want

(We want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back)

Everybody sing

Like it's the last song you will ever sing

Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody live

Like it's the last day you will ever see

Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody sing

Like it's the last song you will ever sing

Tell me, tell me do you feel the pressure?

Alright, so you think you're ready?

OK, then you say this with me, go:

We were born for this (We were born for this)

Alright, so you think you're ready?

OK, then you say this with me, go:

We were born for this (We were born for this)

We were born for this (We were born for this)

We were born for, we were born for

Everybody sing

Like it's the last song you will ever sing

Tell me, tell me can you feel the pressure?

Everybody live

Like it's the last day you will ever see

Tell me, tell me can you feel the pressure now?

Everybody sing

Like it's the last song you will ever sing

Tell me, tell me can you feel the pressure?

Tell me, tell me can you feel the pressure?

We were born for this (We were born for this)

We were born for this

I scraped my knees while I was praying

And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like

It's getting harder to believe in anything

Then just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like

To find perfection in my pride

To see nothing in the light

But turn it off

In all my spite

In all my spite

I'll turn it off

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

The tragedy, it seems unending

I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending

We're taking shortcuts and false solutions

Just to come out the hero

Well, I can see behind the curtain (I can see now)

The wheels are cranking, turning, so on the way we're working

Towards a goal, that's non existent

It's not existent, but we just keep believing

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'd be like

To find perfection in my pride

To see nothing in the light

But turn it off

In all my spite

In all my spite

I'll turn it off

Just turn it off

Again

Again

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

I can't think of getting old

It only makes me want to die

And I can't think of who I was

Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry

Can't look back, can't look too far ahead

I got the point, I got the message

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

I try to keep going but it's not that simple

I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle

Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter

Yeah, I'm caught in the middle

I was dreaming life away

All the while just going blind

Can't see forest for the trees

Behind the lids of my own eyes

Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now

A dream is good, if you don't wear it out

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

I try to keep going but it's not that simple

I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle

Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter

Yeah, I'm caught in the middle

No, I don't need no help

I can sabotage me by myself

Don't need no one else

I can sabotage me by myself

I don't need no help

I can sabotage me by myself

Don't need no one else

I can sabotage me by myself

I don't need no help

I can sabotage me by myself

Don't need no one else

I can sabotage me by myself

I don't need no help

I can sabotage me by myself

Don't need no one else

I can sabotage me by myself

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

I try to keep going but it's not that simple

I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle

Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter

Yeah, I'm caught in the middle

I'm caught in the middle

Been through the ringer a couple times

I came out callous and cruel

And my two friends know this very well

Because they went through it too

The three of us were initiates

We had to learn how to deal

And when we spotted a second chance

We had to learn how to steal

Hollowed out and

Filled up with hate

All we want is

You to give us a break

We're driving fast in my car

We've got our riot gear on

But we just want to have fun

No, we're not looking for violence

Tonight we want to have fun

No one's the same as they used to be

Much as we try to pretend

No one's as innocent as could be

We all fall short, we all sin

But now we are looking backward

We won't try raising the dead

We only see what's in front of us

We only see straight ahead

Hollowed out and

Filled up with hate

All we want is

You to give us a break

We're driving fast in my car

We've got our riot gear on

But we just want to have fun

No, we're not looking for violence

Tonight we want to have fun

Get in my car and we'll drive around

And make believe we are free

Already proved we can tough it up

And we get along so smoothly

We're driving fast in my car

We've got our riot gear on

But we just want to have fun

No, we're not looking for violence

Tonight we want to have fun

We're driving fast in my car

We're driving fast in my car

No, we're not looking for violence

We're driving fast in my car

And we just want to have fun

Now when you say you want to slow down

Does it mean you want to slow dance?

Maybe you want a little extra time to focus on our romance

What do you mean I got it backwards?

You know we're gonna be forever

Why are you telling me goodbye?

Aren't you gonna stay the night?

Are we really over now?

Maybe I can change your mind

Soon as you walk out my door

I'm gonna call a hundred times

Now I walk under a pink sky (ooh)

Love has flown along and passed me by

I pour my heart out to your voicemail

Let you know I caught a bus to your side of town

And now I'm standing at your doorstep (ooh)

With Los Angeles behind me

If you don't answer I'll just use the key that I copied

Cause I really need to see you

If you're not here when I break in

I'm gonna go to your closet

Just so I can smell your skin

As the chemicals swim

I know I'll never love again

I swear I'll never love again

Baby, are we over now?

Maybe I can change your mind

As soon as you walk out my door

I'm gonna call a hundred times

I'm not one of those crazy girls

I'm not one of those crazy girls

I'm not one of those crazy girls

I'm not one of those crazy girls

Hey, baby, are we over now?

Maybe I can change your mind

As soon as you walk out my door

I'm gonna call a hundred times

Baby, are we over now?

Maybe I can change your mind

Soon as you walk out my door

I'm gonna call a hundred times

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Now I'm one of those crazy girls

Now I'm one of those crazy girls

Now I'm one of those crazy girls

Now I'm one of those crazy girls

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong

That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone

Stay with me

This is what I need please

Sing us a song

And we'll sing it back to you

We could sing our own

But what would it be without you

I am nothing now

And its been so long

Since I've heard a sound

The sound of my only hope

This time I will be listening

Sing us a song

And we'll sing it back to you

We could sing our own

But what would it be without you

This heart, it beats

Beats for only you

This heart, it beats

Beats for only you, oooh

this heart, it beats

Beats for only you

My heart is yours

This heart, it beats

Beats for only you

My heart is yours (my heart beats for you)

This heart, it beats

Beats for only you

My heart is yours

This heart, it beats (please don't go now)

Beats for only you (please don't go away)

My heart, my heart is yours (please don't go now, please don't go away)

my heart is yours

(Please don't go now, please don't fade away)

My heart is yours (please don't go, please don't fade away)

(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) my heart is

We still live in the same town, well, don't we?

But I don't see you around anymore

I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you

Your days are numbered at twenty four

And as I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you

We're not getting any younger, and I

Won't look back 'cause there's no use

It's time to move forward

I feel no sympathy

You live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry

Well, I tried not to think of what might happen

When your reality, it finally cuts through

Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road

The worst part is that this (this), this could be you

You know it too, you can't run from your shame

You're not getting any younger, time

Keeps passing by, but you waited awake

It's time to roll over

I feel no sympathy

You live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry

And all the best lies

They are told with fingers tied

So cross them tight

Won't you promise me tonight

If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out

I feel no sympathy

You live inside a cave

You barely get by the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time, I've got no time

I feel no sympathy

You live inside a cave

You barely get by the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

Got no time

I've got no time for feeling sorry

I've got no time for feeling sorry

Please speak softly for they will hear us

And they'll find out why we don't trust them

Speak up, dear, 'cause I cannot hear you

I need to know why we don't trust them

Explain to me this conspiracy against me

Yeah-eh, yeah

And tell me how I've lost my power

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Where can I turn? 'Cause I need something more

Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure

Tell me why I feel so alone

Cause I need to know to whom do I owe

Explain to me this conspiracy against me

Yeah-eh, yeah

And tell me how I've lost my power

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

I thought that we'd make it

Because you said that we'd make it through

And when all security fails

Will you be there to help me through?

Explain to me this conspiracy against me

Yeah-eh, yeah

And tell me how I've lost my power

Oh-oh

I've lost my power

I can't call you a stranger

But I can't call you

I know you think that I erased you

You may hate me, but I can't hate you

And I won't replace you

Tell me how to feel about you now

Tell me how to feel about you now

Oh, let me know

Do I suffocate or let go?

Think I'm tired of getting over it

And just starting something new again

I'm getting sick of the beginnings

And always coming to your defenses

I guess it's good to get it off my chest

Guess I can't believe I haven't yet

You know I got my own convictions

And they're stronger than any addiction

And no one's winning

Tell me how to feel about you now

Tell me how to feel about you now

Oh, let me know

Do I suffocate or let go?

Tell me how to feel about you now

Tell me how to feel about you now

Oh, let me know

Do I suffocate or let go?

Keep me up with your silence

Take me down with your quiet

Of all the weapons you fight with

Your silence is the most violent

Tell me how to feel about you now

Tell me how to feel about you now

Oh, let me know

Do I suffocate or let go?

Tell me how to feel about you now

Tell me how to feel about you now

Oh, let me know

Do I suffocate or let go?

You don't have to tell me

If you ever think of me

I know you see me dancing

Wildly in the fog of your memory

You don't have to tell me

I can still believe

I told 'em all where to stick it

I left town with a dime to my name

Said, I'm done with all of my fake friends

Self-righteous pawns in a losing game

Got my band and a light that won't go out

Been burning since the day I was born

So I'll cry just a little, then I'll dry my eyes

Cause I'm not a little girl no more

Some of us have to grow up sometimes

And so

If I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind

Some of us have to grow up sometimes

And so

If I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind

Stood in line for so long just to picket

Something I won't ever understand

Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?

Won't you just admit you don't care?

And, lady, I don't want your pity

So don't feel sad for me

I got a love I would die for and a song to sing

Maybe we're both just living out our dream

Some of us have to grow up sometimes

And so

If I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind

Some of us have to grow up sometimes

And so

If I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind

We get along for the most part

Me and reality, the light and the dark

We live alone, two different worlds

Me in a fantasy, you in your memories

But we get along

We get along (for the most part)

We get along (yeah, for the most part)

We get along (for the most part)

We get along

We get along

We get along

Some of us have to grow up sometimes

And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)

Some of us have to grow up sometimes

And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)

Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up and never grow old)

And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind

Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up and never grow old)

And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind

And here we go again

With all the things we said and not a minute spent

To think that we'd regret, so we just take it back

These words and hold our breath

Forget the things we swore we meant

I'll write you just to let you know

That I'm alright

Can't say I'm sad to see you go

Cause I'm not (no, I'm not)

Well, I'm not

And here we go again

With all the things we did, and now I'm wondering

Just who would I have been to be the one attached

At all times to your hip?

Forget the things we swore we meant

I'll write you just to let you know

That I'm alright

Can't say I'm sad to see you go

Cause I'm not (no, I'm not)

Well, I'm not (no, I'm not)

Oh, oh (no, I'm not)

I'll write you to let you know

That I'm alright

Can't say I'm sad to see you go

Cause I'm not (no, I'm not)

Well, I'm not (no, I'm not)

I'm not

I'm not

no

(So we just take it back, so we just take it back) I'm not

(So we just take it back, so we just take it back)

(So we just take it back, so we just take it back) I'm not

(So we just take it back, so we just take it back)

Man, you really know how to get someone down

Everything was fine until you came around

I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds

After all wasn't I the one who said

To keep your feet on the ground?

Man, you really brought me back down

Hold on to hope if you got it

Don't let it go for nobody

They say that dreaming is free

But I wouldn't care what it cost me

You got me tied up but I stay close to the window

And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go

I'm hoping someday maybe I'll just float away

And I'll forget every cynical thing you say

When you gonna hear me out

Man, you really bring me down

Hold on to hope if you got it

Don't let it go for nobody

They say that dreaming is free

But I wouldn't care what it cost me

Reality will break your heart

Survival will not be the hardest part

It's keeping all your hopes alive

When all the rest of you has died

So let it break your heart

And hold on to hope if you got it

Don't let it go for nobody

Hold on to hope if you got it

Don't let it go for nobody

They say that dreaming is free

I wouldn't care what it cost me

Standing here like I'm supposed to say something

Don't hold your breath, I never said I'd save you, honey

And I don't want your money

If I was you I'd run from me or

Rip me open you'll see you're not the only one who's hopeless

Be sure to put your faith in something more

I'm just a girl and you're not as alone as you feel

We all got problems, don't we?

We all need heroes, don't we?

But rest assured there's not a single person here who's worthy

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don't let me let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down

Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall

Down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on

What if I fall on my face?

What if I make a mistake?

If it's okay a little grace would be appreciated

Remember how we used to like ourselves?

What little light that's left, we need to keep it sacred

I know that you're afraid to let all the dark escape you

But we could let the light illuminate these hopeless places

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Just let me let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Oh, no, I ain't your hero

You're wasting all your faith on me

Oh, no, I know where this goes

Think it's safe to say your savior doesn't look a thing like me

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don't let me let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down

Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman

And if that's what you want

I hate to let you down

I got your hopes up

Now I got you hoping

That I'm gonna be the one that let you down
