Yes your motives are tasteless
But your mouth is so bittersweet
When my worst fears surround me
I'll just wait for you to sweep me right off my feet

And your face turns blush red
As you scream for forgiveness
The mistakes you can't forget
Is the regret that you'll live with

(Hey!)
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end

I'm not afraid of the consequence
I'll take the blame for it all
Oh, for the sake of the argument
I'll just wait for my conscience to call

(Hey!)
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end

This is something new (oh)
And it's not what I'm used to (oh)
This is something new
And I just might end up losing you

(Hey!)
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end

Please don't let this be the end
Please don't let this be the end
Please don't let this be the end
Please don't let this be the end

All yours, all that we've done (were starting to break up)
Can't forget the places that you have been (were starting to break up)
I know that I'll see you again (see you again)

I can tell that this isn't you
Every bend and curve isn't what I've been used to
You've been replaced by someone, she goes by the name
Even when our mouths touch it doesn't feel the same

No it doesn't feel the same

Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all
Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all

There's a chance that this is proof
I can't keep myself together around you
Oh, start picking up the pieces

Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all
Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all

Maybe you will leave, but you'll be back
Maybe then you'll treat me serious like a heart attack
And now you're looking for a heart to put in its place
But a heart like mine could never be replaced

Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all
Your words break me down like a wrecking ball (you're words break me down)
Your words break me down (you're words break me down)
Your words break me down (you're words break me down)
Your words break me down (you're words break me down)

This smoking gun of a mouth of mine
Has many victims to it's name
But this time it was your words that killed me (your words that killed me)

Right where I was standing
I was hit by lightning
Words of yours went through my chest
And I was pulled apart til there was nothing left

Nothing

Everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst
Onto solid ground

The twisted thoughts that come out of your mind
Are heartless at best
They keep you from your own recovery, I know (Recovery I know)

It takes fun out of living
When you have no life
You can't insert, you can't decide
And now you have the guilt of me on your lips (guilty)

And Everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst
Onto solid ground

And the crowds silent as a whisper
Listen as she recites her scenes
And one by one, with different agendas
They pull out their sympathy

And you're still my living proof
Yeah you're still my living proof

And Everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst
Onto solid ground
Onto solid ground

It's too far back now
To remember just how much you played
A role in causing confusion in my brain
My nerves are tied announce my mind is (?)

Running with the seconds
Recollections of the past
Make me such a mess (such a mess)
I need to pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out

It's too far back now
To remember just how much you
Took control of the situation
In the first place, everything seemed fine
You followed right along

Losing face with the hours
Photographs of our best moments make me such a mess (such a mess)
I need to pull my self together and let it out

Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out

It was another night
I'm sinking deeper and I'm out of time
I can't erase you from my mind
(I can't erase you from my mind!)

It was another night
I'm sinking deeper and I'm out of time
(I can't erase you from my mind!)

Oh let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
I've gotta pull my self together

You can steal my eyes
Carve them out, I don't even need them
I don't wanna see anyone other than you

You cover your face,
you're afraid to see the outcome
It's more than anyone person can bare

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

You pierce my heart, it useless
I don't even really need it
It belongs to nobody other than you

You can cut off my tongue, I'm speechless
And I'm wasting away, to nothing at your feet

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

If my heart is made out of gold than why does it feel like I'm here all alone
And you take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

I'm hollowed out, can't you see?
You've ripped out my soul right from under me
Have little to show for anything
It's everything you hoped for

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

If my heart is made out of gold than why does it feel like I'm here all alone
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

You don't have to settle for me at all
I'll never be the one you want
I'll never ever be the one under your arms
and I don't have the face to turn heads
or the body that cuts loose ends (?)
I swear I need to get a hold again

I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

I'm not comfortable in my own skin
I'm ashamed of being myself
I wear my shame I wear it all too well
And I don't have the words to work this out
Your reactions fill with doubt
I am shallow this is what I've found

I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

And you leave me with no choice
But to blow this out of the water
Now you leave me with no choice

If I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)
If I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

Lies, all I hear are lies
Have you ever spoke a word of truth in your life?
Misled, you've always been misled
Always is taking advice from people who claim to be your friends

Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
What can I do, what can I
What can I do

Try, now you need to try
Try to never make the same mistakes in your life twice
(make the same mistakes in your life twice)
Truth, all I want is truth
Turning away is the last move I expect from, expect from you

Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
What can I do

When you set the perfect trap
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do now

(lies all I hear are lies)

Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do (what can I do)

what can I do
what can I (what can I do)
what can I do

Oh!
That was such a short goodbye
Never get to say exactly what I want in front of you
I always fall apart at the worst thoughts of crashing down
I know you know this isn't what you signed up for

I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines
I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines

The mile markers help me count down the next time I'll be around
The only thing I'll rely on is
Falling leaves covering the ground
And a pale version of your complexion
I hope you know I'm worth waiting for

I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines
I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines

A long road
I've seen it all
Never wanting to look back
This long road
I've spent so much time
I'm glad you're willing to wait for me

Cause I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines
I'll never let this go (go!)
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines

You ask me, you ask me
How I got to know you
Just by speaking on the phone?

Isn't is crazy
How the thought of my touch
Wakes you up when you're alone?

Don't you believe everything you hear
Darling, focus on the prize
Don't you hear me whisper in your ear
"My darling, don't lose sight of my eyes"

It's not time to let go
This is not how it's supposed to end in my mind my baby
Maybe our intentions were wrong from the start
So answer me so we don't fall apart

(I called 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th
(I called you 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th

You tell me, you tell me
You've never fell so hard
For an obvious candidate

You said you hate your last love
And it's soon enough that you will will forget

Don't believe everything you hear
Darling, I've never lied before
Don't you hear me whisper in your ear
"Forget him your what I'm waiting for"

It's not time to let go
This is not how it's supposed to end in my mind my baby
Maybe our intentions were wrong from the start
So answer me so we don't fall apart

You've even said yourself
You're setting yourself up
You've even said yourself
That everyone would turn (that everyone can turn!)

And you've even told yourself
That the floodgates would break
So why are you taking so long to answer?

It's not time to let go
This is not how it's supposed to end in my mind my baby
Maybe our intentions were wrong from the start
So answer me so we don't fall apart
So answer me so we don't fall apart
So answer me so we don't fall apart

(I called 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th
(I called you 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th

I wake up in a waiting room
With the taste of blood
And a clouded view
I notice there is a tear in my jeans
The sleeves of my shirt have been ripped from their seams
My memory is a little bit blank
The thought of my name doesn't seem to come back
And I turn and scream "what am I here for?"
The nurses yell "you were left at the door"
I'm a stranger, someone left me for dead
And I need to decide what to do next

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I remember the string of events
From the dinner receipt
When a grabbed your hand
I know that you went in for a kiss
And I told you "that's not only what this is"
You held me at the end of my seat
And you had that look, the look of defeat
You wish that you could start this over
Instead you left me in a coma

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night
Yeah

I should have listened to my friends
(and I don't ever wanna see you again)
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I should have listened to my friends
(and I don't ever wanna see you again)
(LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS!)
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

When they told me you had bad intentions [x2]

It's time that I rain on your parade
Watch as all your hopes explode
To landmines
You ask for help but people turn away

You're living so far away from the truth
That you're believing in your own lies
It's no surprise that you sleep at night
Drowning in your prize

You made him feel so welcome (welcome)
Make him forget about
The poison running through his veins
You may say that you love him (love him)

Now lie in the mess you've made

(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down

It's time I get a few things straight with you
You haven't been in for the whole time
Your stories, like your lifestyle, distorted, yeah

You're living so far away from the truth
That you're leaving me with no choice
To put you back in your place
With every sentence

You made him feel so wanted (wanted)
You make him feel that there is
Nothing more beyond your door
You may say that you love him

Now tell me what the love shit's for

(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)

I hope that
This isn't a sign of things to come (things to come)
I'll kill myself for blaming you (blaming you)
Please tell me now, is this a sign of things to come?

(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)

It's time that I rain on your parade

You cant get rid of me that easy no
Not without a fight
Your cool and collective approach is appealing yeah
You've got it down just right
You should put a blindfold over my eyes
And tape my mouth shut

When every word I say might as well be might as well be my last thought

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

You left me pictures just to tease me
Or maybe out of spite
You used your body to confuse me
Your hips swing just right
How do I control myself around you
I need to be locked up

When every word I say might as well be might as well be my last one

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

You're a wolf in sheep's skin
Teeth can tear me limb from limb
Do you have the room to spare me in your heart of hearts

I'm a wolf in sheep's skin
Teeth can tear you limb from limb
I don't have the room to spare you

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again
Pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

There must be so many ways to say goodbye
I'm breaking up again
But just when I thought I could hear her voice
It echoes in my head
I'm sorry if I say the wrong things
I'm sorry if you feel that I don't want you anymore
But how can I believe any words that she says to me
When everything comes out wrong
She's built and torn down anyone that gets close to her heart
To her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I can't seem to think of one this time
So many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isn't mine
I'm still losing my mind
She's calling me again
But I was so convinced I'd never hear her voice
She says hello
How can you ever breathe without me
Cause I can see this happening all over again
I think I want it to
How can I believe any words that she says to me
When everything comes out wrong
She's built and torn down anyone that gets close to her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I can't seem to think of one this time
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isn't mine
I'm still losing my mind
She's built and torn down anyone
She's built and torn down anyone that comes close to her heart
To her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I can't seem to think of one this time
So many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isn't mine
I'm still losing my mind

I've grown sick
I've gotten older
I finally have an audience to ignore
I can yell all I want
But you still can't hear me
I'm punching myself out
Holding in my breath
I can take this lightly
Throwing up the words that I said to you
I always do what I'm not supposed to
Here's to us fools
That have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Let's toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow
I might say things you don't want to hear
But someday you might care and I won't be there
No I won't be there here's to us fools
That have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Let's toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow
I'm punching myself out
Holding in my breath
I can yell all I want
Throwing up the words that I said to you
I always do what I'm not supposed to
Here's to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Let's toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow.

Let me practice this before I say it to you
I know it might come out wrong but I want it to
Another chance to fight
Another way to make it right
So forget all of your chances
It's up to you to follow through
Forget the way she was
Cause it's the things she does that make me
Sing about her
She knows I care about her
She said be gentle boy
You show a lack of character
Let me work this out
Before I come back to you
I know you
Sometimes hate the stupid things I do
Another lonely night
Another way to make it right
So forget al of your chances
it's up to you to follow through
forget the way she was
cause it's the things she does that make me sing about her
she knows I care about her
she said be gentle boy
you show a lack of character
there is no other way this girl is so all about me
I'm sorry I can't help the way
Cause it's the things she does that make me
Sing about her
She knows I care about her
She said be gentle boy
You show a lack of character.

Some girls are crazy
Just listen to what I have to say about it
You've gotta watch out for the beautiful ones
They'll twist your head right off your neck
And laugh about it with their friends
That's just one night for them
They target you with their eyes
And move with their lips
And it pulls you in
She shuts you down with her voice again
And now are you listening?
This song goes out to girls
That we haven't met just yet
This song is for stupid girls
Who think that every boy is all about them
These girls are crazy...
Just listen to what I have to say about it
You've gotta watch out for the younger ones
They'll tightly wrap you around their fingers
And brag to all their friends
It's nothing but a game to them
Then target you with their eyes
And move with their lips
And it pulls you in
She shuts you down with her voice again
And now are you listening?
This song goes out to girls
That we haven't met yet
This song is for stupid girls
Who think that every boy is all about them
You think you're on top of the world
When all the eyes are on you
Just wait until your heart breaks
And you'll know how I felt when I wrote....

It's time to open your eyes
And wake up to the morning
Today calls out your name
And I can never be the same
Without you
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Being drowned...
That's more that I can say for everyone else
I can't sleep
Cause it's only four in the morning
I think I ran out of dreams
And I can never be the same
Without you
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Being drowned...That's more that I can say for everyone else
How can you say that you love me?
When the world around you is changing
How can you say that you love me?
When it's only eleven-thirty
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at

You're more than tongue tied this time
Well I can feel it in you lips
Nobody told me you were a sucker for a kiss
Music low
We're all alone
Being wrong never felt so right
Tell me about your first kiss
Tell me or have you already forgotten it
Tell me about your first kiss
What do I have to do to get through all of this?
I'm writing it down
I bet you thought this song was about you
You're more than just mad this time
You've got that look in your eye
Nobody told me you were a sucker for a kiss
Music low
We're all alone
Being wrong never felt so right
Tell me about your first kiss
Tell me or have you already forgotten it?
I'm writing it down
Just leave me here and tell me to my face what you think about
Can we figure out
What happened to our happy ending anyway?
How you feel about
Leaving me here
With a lot more left to say
Music low
We're all alone
Being wrong never felt so right
Tell me about your first kiss
Tell me or have you already forgotten it
Tell me about your first kiss
What do I have to do to get though all of this?
I'm writing it down
I bet you thought this song was about you

It doesn't take much to keep holding someone's hand
You have to keep your eyes open as wide as you can
You never know what could come along...
Sometimes people think that they are so in love
When it's the first person that they have ever been with
I think it's so stupid
You have to keep your eyes open
You'll never know if she's right
It's so amazing how people can be held down
By just one person that doesn't even care what they think
I know it's so stupid
You have to keep your eyes open
You'll never know if she's right....

Forget me not
Those weren't your words
I'm home haven't you heard the ring?
The sound of my voice
I know it isn't much
That's why I say your name
When I fall, when I hit the bottom
Girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
Go girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
I've missed you
Those weren't your words
Seeing you became a charm
And everyday, I wish I could
Everyday...
I say your name
When I fall, when I hit the bottom
Girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
Go girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
I say your name
When I fall, when I hit the bottom
Girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
Go girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone

I hate myself for losing you
I blame myself for pulling you apart
I guess this is the only way
I hate these eyes that noticed you
I blame my heart for breaking up that day
It didn't mean much anyway
It's you, you I figured out
It always helps to forget how to be yourself
It's you, you realize that your understanding this
Understanding that you're all alone
Today
Is the first day of your life
The first day that you're on your own
Now you know what to call home
I know I'm right for leaving you
Now there's nothing left for me to say
It never meant much anyway
It's you, you I figured out
It always helps to forget how to be yourself
It's you, you realize that your understanding this
Understanding that you're all alone
Today
Is the first day of your life
The first day that you're on your own
Now you know what to call home
This could be
The second to last time
You're way too close to dive

The needle on my record player has been wearing thin
This record has been playing since the day you've been with him
No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyways
Remember the time we wrote our names upon the wall
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song

[x2]
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long to see you

Maybe it's for the best
Maybe it's not for anything
It wouldn't be so bad to take this right from me
No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyway
Remember the time we wrote our names upon the wall
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song

[x2]
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long to see you

How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
How many times I've tried
Blatant mistakes of your design

How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
Blatant mistakes of your design

Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I wanted too long to see you

I've had so many chances
Turn my back and I ran away
I've had so many chances to see you

Dear your name here....
It's been a long time, very long time
Since I've heard your voice
And I bet she never thought I was
So sorry so?
I've had a hard time, very hard time
Seeing less of you
I never thought you knew
So can you see you're seeing less of me darling
And you're blind to the fact that my
Heart stopped beating
And I'm as good as dead
Dear I forgot your name again...
Just picking up where I left off
(Oh yeah) This is the part where you leave me
So sorry so?
I've had a hard time, very hard time
Seeing less of you
I never thought you knew
So can you see
You're seeing less of me darling
And you're blind to the fact that my
Heart stopped beating
And I'm as good as dead
This is all I have to say

I know it's hard for you
To understand what I'm going through
But now I sit here to remind myself
You're always dressed to kill
And you feel like you owe it to the world
But you owe it to yourself
And you're, you're not here
And I can't stop pretending
That you're forever mine...
And I
I can't dream anymore since you left
I miss you singing me to sleep
I can't wake anymore in your arms
I miss you singing me to sleep
Cheer up my friends all say
You're better alone anyways
But you're always on tour
And you're never home
I'm always dressed to kill
And I feel like I owe it to the world
But I owe it to myself
And you're, you're not here
And I can't stop pretending
That you're forever mine...
And I
I can't dream anymore since you left
I miss you singing me to sleep
I can't wake anymore in your arms
I miss you singing me to sleep
Cheer up my friends all say...
And I can't stop pretending
That you're forever mine
You're better alone anyways
And you're not here, not here
I can't dream anymore since you left
I miss you singing me to sleep
I can't wake anymore in your arms
I miss you singing me to sleep
Cheer up my friends all say...

Ash his heart onto the ground
Pull his guts out by frustration
Be careful you might kill him
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say
So you've been going out for years
And I'm sure that you've been happy
Happy with your role
You've been looking up to him
As if you've forgotten of your own life
Forgotten of your own face
Burn and start again
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
HE might like what you say
On my own again
That's what she said
I'm leaving you tomorrow
But she already left
She already left me
She said I'm better off dead
It's your own life
Live it for yourself
It's your own life
Live for your...
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say
On my own again
That's what she said
I'm leaving you tomorrow
But she already left
She already left me
She said I'm better off dead

it's three in the morning and i stayed up all night drowning in my words
writing about you time seems to standstill since the day you left me
a revolving door slamming this time so slowly you're running out
you're running fast now
we were just kids back then two years of my life traded for an ending like this
like a love movie without a goodbye kiss
why was it me with all sincerity which car drove us to drove us to this road
this road of broken promises first it was broken glass
that fell down from the sky so fast it hit us then she promised
but it happened again

well i started all alone and i watched you grow
and now please don't take this away from me you rise
then you fall sometimes it seems like you're not there
at all but that's the way it should be well take me for example
and erase your opinions about me only time will tell where will you be
where have you gone two years of my life now it's all gone

looking back now i see how far i've gone it's been a while now
for only one song past intentions i never ever meant to deal with now
well just by looking around i don't think that i'll ever come down
well you know right now that i am trying to change but believe now
i'll try to change everything you know that i could rearrange
and it gets harder and harder now well you know i want to change the past
past intentions i never ever meant to deal with just by looking around
well you know i tried so hard to change right now well just by looking around
well i don't think that i'll ever come down all the way down

well i feel there's something wrong with my life
but that's the way it should be i really hate it when i lie to you
but what does the truth mean to me well what went wrong
your back is turned again is this the beginning or the end
is this all wrong you are more than a friend such a position
that i'm in well you know i'm trying so hard to live my life without you
and i tried so hard i got you now inside my heart it kills fueled by your love
in the end i'll call your name i'm letting go it's time for you to know
that all this time i've been so wrong i'm letting go the time's more fast
than slow and everything is there for you well you know
when i go away from you i lose control
my body is feeling cold like a winter day then i close my eyes a picture
so clear then i close my eyes

staring at my shadow i see the world around me never felt
as if my existence reflects these walls so proudly intentions
of the past defined so quickly it's hard to change myself
never mind all of the people around me i try to push it to the side
never put the blame on anybody's head but mine i'm still searching
for my pride i'll keep searching but there's so many places
for it to hide i try i've tried so hard to change for you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will...

If you need a friend,
Don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.

And when you're in doubt,
And when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
And I'll be there.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you I will.

When your day is through,
And so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.

Sometimes if I shout,
It's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
With no gripe to bear.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
And if I have to walk the world to make you fall for me,(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will...

I don't need to fall at your feet
Just cause you cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone

And If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
Because I am the king of wishful thinking
Because I am the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to give into my blues
That's not how its gonna be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't wanna let you see, no

That you had made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you

Because I am the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
Because I'm the king of wishful thinking

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself
I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my ships not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
Because I'm the king of wishful thinking
I am the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you I know I will
You made a whole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the king of wishful thinking
(I'll be the king of wishful)

I'll get over you I know I will
I'll pretend my hearts still beating
Cause I've got no more tears for you
I am the king of wishful thinking
(king of wishful thinking) no

you say I only hear what I want to.
you say I talk so all the time so.

and I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
yeah, I missed you.

and you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
or to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.

so I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
the lover's in love, and the other's run away,
the lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.

some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
well, this is not that:
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.

and I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.

you try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

you said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

you said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose.
and you say, "stay."

you say I only hear what I want to.

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do

Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought just stick to another girl
A girl that surely deserves me
But I think you do

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

Lately I have desperately pondered
Spent my nights awake an I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay

Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you (anything but you)

Love me, love me
Fool, fool me
Love me, love me
I can't care about anything but you

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
I'll wear those shoes and you will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me

Go 'way from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone to die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

You say you're looking for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call
An' to love for your life an' nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

I wanted to be with you alone and talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch and gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away (Throw it away...Throw it away...)

I made a fire and watching it burn (yeah) Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No, no, no, have you no ambitions,
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away (don't throw it away)

And this is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover

La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la [fading..]

Hey, hey, hey ,hey...
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me? (above me)
Look my way, never love me (love me)
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognize me? (recognize me)
Call my name or walk on by (walk on by)
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
I Will walk away

Or will you walk away? (Will you walk away)
Will you walk on by? (Will you walk on by)
Come on call my name (Call my name)
Will you call my name?

1..2.. , 1..2..3..go!!
La la la la la...
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Ohhh...
Will You walk away

Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one

I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that

I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you

Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we need no words at all

Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see

I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
(I'll feel it in my kiss)

Because I'm crazy for you,
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss,
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you,

Crazy for you (Trying hard to control my heart)
I'm crazy for you (Trying hard to control my heart)

It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true (yeah)
I'm crazy for you

It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true (yeah)
I'm crazy for you

every night in my dreams i see you, i feel you,
that is how i know you go on far across the distance and spaces between us
you have come to show you go on near, far,
wherever you are believe that the heart does go on once more
you open the door here in my heart and my heart will go on
and on love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
and never let go till we're gone love was when i loved you one true time
i hold tov in my life we'll always go on...

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me.
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for you
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

Look into my heart you will find
There's nothing there to hide
Take me as I am take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for
I can't help it there's nothing I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do -
I do it for you

There's no love like your love
And no other could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way...

Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
I can't help it there's nothing I want more

I would fight for you
I'd lie for you
Walk the fire for you
Yeah I'd die for you

You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

Tonight its very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I will never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget,
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't want to lose you
I could never make it alone

[Chorus:]
Cause I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero
That you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone...

[Chorus]

It's like a knight in shining armor from a long time ago
Just in time I'll save the day
Take you to my castle far away...

[Chorus x3]

here we are hanging onto strains of greed and blues
break the chain then we break down, oh, it's not real if you don't feel it
unspoken expectations, ideals you used to play with they've finally taken shape for us

what's good enough for you is good enough for me
it's good enough, it's good enough for me
yeah yeah yeah yeah
what's good enough for you is good enough for me
it's good enough, it's good enough for me
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

now you'll say you're startin' to feel the push and pull
of what could be and never can, you mirror me stumblin' through thise
old fashioned superstitions, i find too hard to break, oh maybe you're out of place

but it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
it's good enough, it's good enough for me
yeah yeah yeah yeah
what's good enough for you is good enough for me
it's good enough, it's good enough for me
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah

but it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
it's good enough, it's good enough for me
yeah yeah yeah yeah
what's good enough for you is good enough for me
it's good enough, it's good enough for me
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

i could stay awake just to hear you breathing watch you smile
while you are sleeping while you're far away and dreaming i could spend my life
in this sweet surrender i could stay lost in this moment forever every moment
spent with you is a moment i treasure i don't wanna close my eyes
i don't wanna fall asleep cause i'll miss you babe
and i don't wanna miss a thing cause even when i dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do i still miss you babe
and i don't wanna miss a thing laying close to you feeling your heart beating
and i'm wondering what you're dreaming wondering
if it's me you're seeing then i kiss your eyes and thank god we're together
i just want to stay with you in this moment forever i don't wanna miss one smile
i don't wanna miss one kiss i just wanna be with you right here with you
just like this i just wanna hold you close feel your heart so close to mine
and just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time...

turn around, look at what you see in her face,
the mirror of your dreams make believe i'm everywhere,
living in the lines written on the pages is the answer to our neverending story
reach the stars, fly a fantasy dream a dream, and what you see will be
and there upon the rainbow is the answer to our neverending story story...
neverending story.... show no fear, for she may fade away in your hand,
the birth of a new day lives that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds
and there upon the rainbow is the answer to our neverending story

you, doing that thing you do breaking my heart into a million pieces
like you always do and you don't mean to be cruel you never even knew
about the heartache i've been goin' through well, i try and try to forget you girl
but it's just so hard to do every time you do that thing you do and i,
know all the games you play and i'm gonna find a way to let you know
that you'll be mine someday cause we, could be happy,
can't you see if you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
and keep you here with me i don't ask a lot girl but i know one thing's
for sure it's the love i haven't got girl and i just can't take it anymore....
cause it hurts me so just to see you go around with someone new
and if i know you, you're doin' that thing every day,
just doing that thing i can't take you doing that thing you do

Where do you go when you have nowhere to turn?
The roads connect to the bridges you've burned to reach the end...
You抳e been calling - and since you were - and finding excuses to be by yourself
There抯 more to life,
You know.

[Chorus:]
It takes you to open up your eyes
To see the light - it抯 all around you,
It抯 all around you.

You抳e been slipping your problems away
Being reclusive you抮e losing yourself -
It抯 time to change,
You know.

[Chorus:]
It takes you to open up your eyes
To see the light - it抯 all around you,
It抯 all around you,
It抯 all around you,
It抯 all around you.

Slowly building up now,
Closing in on you now,
Breathing down your neck now,
Telling you don抰 leave it all behind.

[Chorus:]
It takes you to open up your eyes
To see the light - it抯 all around you.
It takes you to open up your eyes
To see the light - it抯 all around you,
It抯 all around you,
It抯 all around you,
It抯 all around...

This could be the song everyone relates to
Another melody something we go through
This could be the words to use in good fortune
To keep in the bag of my foiled backup plan
It抯 the beat that keeps you marching on
So take your chance I got armour on
Reasons will reveal itself into time
So for luck will you cross your fingers?

You and I girl, we抳e got something golden
Did you now they say it never lasts
And oh-oh-oh, we抳e got something golden
We can抰, can抰 break, everyone, everyone抯 wrong
Everyone, everyone抯 wrong

This could be the verse always reminding you
Of your battle scars all your could have been抯
Only I know what I抳e been through
But for luck I抎 still cross my fingers

[Chorus:]

I could have used this long ago
You took my good advice
I could have used this long ago
Should have crossed my fingers

[Chorus:]

Focus on me there is more to see
But use discretion this ride isn't free
I'll prove them wrong
I'll prove them more wrong
The more I sit here the more that I think

Every mistake I make from now on I'll turn around
I'll make it, I'll make it right
And every truth I fake
I might hurt someone
I'll make it, I'll make it more right

Pins and needles are up and down my spine
I'll pull them out one by one
I don't need it all
Give it all away
The more that I breathe it
The more it seeps through
It's a numbing feeling
This is what I'll do

Every mistake I make from now on I'll turn around
I'll make it, I'll make it right
And every truth I fake I might hurt someone
I'll make it I'll make it all right

Every mistake I make from now on I'll turn around
I'll make it I'll make it right
And every truth I fake
I might hurt someone
I'll make it
I'll make it all right

I'll make it all right

I feel locked away
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
Crushing on my head are boulders
Made of lies and dust from all of us

What of the bonds we've made
That have started to fade
We can't control the time
But right now I'll take what I can get out of my life

Medicate me again
So I fall away
Medicate me now
So I fall away

I feel torn between
Two different sides of an opinion
Don't know what state I've been in
Don't believe in trust, for only one of us

What of the progress made
That night we all forgave
It was a thought out crime
But you should take what you can get out of this life

I never said that I didn't need you
Put down your arms
And wrap them both right around me
Right around me

For a while now I've been
The quickest one to shed my skin
Forcing me to put up walls
Climbing taller every cause

Hurry down to me

Soon I'll be back from all this work
And I'll make love to you
Make love to you
We'll reconnect it
Soon I'll be back in your arms
Be back in your arms
Connected

The circle in your eyes tell more
More than you have bargained for
It takes trying to rip your skin
To really know how thick it is
Hurry down to me
Hurry down to me

Now I have finally accepted
We will never stand in the same room
I can never hear your voice of reason
At least you didn't, didn't feel a thing

When I was younger you would tell me
That I should wait to grow up
That things don't go always as planned
At least you didn't, didn't feel a thing

No you didn't didn't have to feel a thing
No you didn't feel

When I die I'll be fine
Cause I know you're always there
When I die I'm alright
Cause I know you'll be there
You are home

Now I'm standing at a crossroad
Don't know which path is calling me
I wanna follow in your footsteps
So you know you're never alone

No you didn't have to feel a thing
No you're never alone

I'm still here but I'm waiting
For our long conversations
I'm still here but I'm waiting to go home

No you didn't didn't have to feel a thing
You are home

Let's fall deeper into sleep
And our dreams become fake reality
I wake, i hope.
I'm on my way, to a coast
Where I know the roads like the back of my hand
Familiar landscapes

And I know that this is new
Like your first day of school
And you're feeling awkward
Like you miss your home
And it leaves you with an empty feeling
I just can't take it anymore

What do you want from me?
What do you want from my life?
What do you want from me?
Cause my heart can't take it
My heart can't take this anymore
You feel deeply misplaced
Your world has been built to crumble
You hope and pray everyday it works out
And it leaves me with this empty feeling
I just can't take it anymore

What better time than now to bandage your bleeding
And I won't stop till I fix your misleading
Your charm of course you use as a weapon
But my heart can't take it

Leave it to me, to lose all your confidence
And no i can't stop, this train wreck before it hits
I hope I don't sound, like the X's on your calendar
I stumble on new ground, to gather up the formula

Fate, faith
You and me
Love and pain
Fate, faith
You and me
Love and pain
Even I know, there's a line between emotion and
Fate, faith
You and me
Love and pain

How selfish of me, to think I'm the only one
To question mistakes, a fools game I'm losing now
Just taking my time, planning out my escape
I'm scared what I'll find but it's the choice I have
To make

We can't control what we are
It's not our place, it's out of our hands

I wonder, what life would be like
If my shoulder
Could bare the weight of all this adding up
I feel, the breaking point
It's close enough, it's feeling real again

You have my heart in your hands
You have my heart so don't, don't let it go
Check my pressure
Patch me up right, you're too good to be

It's true, we both make sacrifices
There's proof, it came as no surprise
It boiled up, as we always let it do
We made it through again

This is my relapse
That I've succumb to
I went through things no one should have to
I could have never let this slip
I could have let this slip

And everything I do it reflects you
You went through things no one should have to
I could have never let this slip
I could have let this slip

And all those things you say out of nowhere
I'm taken back by you
And all those places that you've shown me
I'm taken back by you taken back by you

This is the future, can we save it?
We've done things no one thought we could do
This is the picture, can you paint it?
We could have let this slip

And nothing beats not knowing what's
Gonna happen next
For all the nights you've held me so long
I'm taken back by you, taken back by you

Yeah I owe, everything to you
Every darkness, I'll shine through
I have doubts, don't blame me
Don't let this slip, don't let this slip

I know you're losing sleep over me
I know you'll relive every moment
Below sheets where dreams are made

I know you'll cover your eyes
I know you'll quiver when fingers touch your side
But it all coincides some way.

Move a little closer, hold me tighter
I'll stay if you're gonna keep me in line
Don't want it to be over, move move slower
I'll stay if you're gonna keep me in line (in line)

I know everything reminds you of me
Even the songs you thought I'd never sing
I know you'll mess up your hair
I know you'll do things you would never dare
But it all coincides in some way

Now we're here, with the lights turned low
You won't regret anything we do
It's up to you, now make your move

I've been stuck in this whirlwind
My life's been spinning round my head
Long distance conversations
Make up for me not being there

And now I'm coming home
I'm coming home to you again
I hope you feel the same
Now I'm coming home
I'm coming home to you again
I hope things haven't changed

Singin'
I've been locked inside this freight train
Unaware of the normal life I had
Frustration building a foundation
I wrote this song to let you know that I'll be back

Screamin'
I hope you feel the same

I can't stop, can't stop thinking
About what you do when you're alone
Let's cut right to the chase girl
Take back the time, time that we've lost, time we've lost

Let's make a date out of the cinema
Then stay out till early in the morning
I always like it cause we take it slow
While everyone around us seems so hurried

It feels familiar, cause I've been here before
When your words
Swept the ground right from under me
Remember when you were so insecure
Now you can't get your hands up off of me

But the time we spent was so short
Can't believe it's time to go again
You're always on my mind, all the time
On my mind, believe it

Can we pick it up where you left off
When you said you'll never get over me
I'll take for granted every roll off your tongue
Cause you're screaming out all your honesty

You know it's time,
You see the bags at the door
I'm minutes away from departing
In exchange for a few last words
Will never be enough for me

It was a cold California,
Even in the summer,
She was wrapped in a blanket by the pool,
There were rapid statements,
About life commitments,
A sense of heat that I couldn't bare to touch,
I couldn't bare it.

It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
Please stop your crying now,
Woah,
Woah.

There was staring and seclusion,
A fine tuned way of motion,
A face wrapped for a suitor,
The sound of hearts pumping at the same beat,
Coming 'round the corner,
In almost all directions,
A sense of heat that I couldn't bare to touch,
No, I couldn't bare it.

It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
(It's not your fault so please stop your crying now)
It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
(It's not your fault so please stop your crying)

Now you, wait for, something, to cure this,
Well I'm here, under your downpour.

No, woah.

It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
It's not your fault so please stop your crying,
It's not your fault.

It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
(It's not your fault so please stop your crying now)
It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
(No, woah)
It's not your fault so please stop your crying now,
(No woah, no woah) (It's not your fault so please stop your crying now),
It's not your fault, stop crying now,
(No...)

The way your hair swings over your eyes
The motor in my head turns
Wanting you for such a long time
In my mind, a heart, a lesson to learn

Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know,
I'm after you

Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know

And you smell like,
How angels oughta smell
And you look like
You're ready to go

So hold my hand
I'll take you everywhere
Anywhere
You wanna go

The way your words keep me in a line
I know what I'm here for
Waking up to the green of your eyes
It's something I'll get used to (Oh!)

Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know,
I'm after you

Do do do do do do do do
You'll never know

And you smell like,
How angels oughta smell
And you look like
You're ready to go

So hold my hand
I'll take you everywhere
Anywhere
You wanna go

So come on and hold my hand (Hold my hand)
I'll take you everywhere (Everywhere)
Anywhere

So let's go

The way your hair swings over your eyes
The way your words keep me in a line
I'm telling you for the very last time
You better know

And you smell like,
How angels oughta smell
And you look like
You're ready to go

So hold my hand
I'll take you everywhere
Anywhere
You wanna go

So come on and hold my hand (Hold my hand)

I'll take you everywhere (Everywhere)
Anywhere
You wanna go

So come on and hold my hand (Hold my hand)
I'll take you everywhere (Everywhere)
Anywhere
You wanna go

Constantly connected to the total unexpected
I'm a con, a stealer of hearts
I only keep this facade
To keep you on your toes
I'll take a glance while you sleep at night
Right from under your nose
So don't leave me

Don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me here
I don't want to be without you
I don't want to live without you
I don't want to breathe without you (You're my oxygen)

It's hard to get rejected
By the one you most expected to be by your side
Your first thought being you should run and hide
I don't think you're to blame
I'll get you on your toes
I'll dream of you while I'm asleep at night
So nobody will know
So don't leave me

Don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me here
I don't want to be without you
I don't want to live without you
I don't want to breathe without you (You're my oxygen)

Oxygen

With me, is where you belong
Right with me, is where you belong
Right here (Right here)
Right here (Don't leave me)

Don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me
Cause I can't live without you
(So don't leave) Don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me
I don't want to breathe without you
You're my oxygen
I don't want to breathe without you
You're my oxygen

Oxygen
Oxygen
Oxygen

I'm an old salty dog in the water
looking for a fish, a fish, a fish

I'm going hunting in the ocean
I'm going hunting in the sea

I'm going hunting in the ocean
I'm going hunting in the sea

I'm going hunting in the ocean
I'm going hunting in the sea

I'm on a boat in the ocea
I'm on a boat in the sea

I'm on a boat in the ocean
I'm on a boat in the sea

I'm going hunting in the ocean
I'm going hunting in the sea

I'm going hunting in the ocean
I'm going hunting in the sea

There's a cold winter coming this year
There's a cold winter coming
There's a cold winter coming this year
There's a cold winter coming

There's lots of snow and fog this year
There's lots of snow and fog
There's lots of snow and fog this year
There's lots of snow and fog

Cold winter coming this year
There's a cold winter come
Cold winter coming this year
There's a cold winter come

Lots of snow and fog this year
There's lots of snow and fog
Lots of snow and fog this year
There's lots of snow and fog

I knew it would be cold this winter
That's why I brought my mittens
And come to think of it...
I could use a nice warm cup of tea
Or maybe some pourage
Or maybe a nice lagger
Or a salomi sandwhich from Tony's Deli
Or maybe some Goh Singh
Or a bundle of fresh herbs and spices

Don't say it'll stay this way forever

I'm afloat in the ocean trying not to sink
I'm a crack in the asphalt you walk by on the street
I'm a falling star you'll never see
The lash in your eye the I in team

So Who am I?

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever

I'm the lesson you'll never learn
The sickness that was never your concern
I'm the big suprise at the end of the night
The bridge in the gap
The corner of your mind

So Who am I?

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)

I'm holding on
Yes I am
Careful what I wish for
I am the knot in your stomach
The phlegm in your throat
The message saying you're not home

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)

I'm afloat in the ocean trying not to sink

Yeah
I'm on the verge of something good
It's been up my sleeve this whole time, waiting

Yeah
I'm not the condescending type,
I'm just a boy turned man completely overnight
Now I

I can't relate to your constant static
Your lack of remorse is cause for panic
No I can't relate, I never did
The worst thing was when I let you in
I let you in

Yeah
You might take a second look
It's just a game we play
And we all hesitate

Yeah
My Outlook isn't good
But at least I can say I wake up happy
Every day
Every day

I can't relate to your constant static
Your lack of remorse is cause for panic
No, I can't relay , I never did
The worst thing was when I let you in
I let you in

No
This is the bad translation of dictionarys I keep in my head,
I live my life in cycles and rough sketches
that I keep hidden and locked away

I can't relate to your constant static
Your lack of remorse is cause for panic
No, I can't relay , I never did
The worst thing was when I let you in
I let you in

You'll never see a straight face from me
I've got a problem showing emotion and sucking up my guts
You'll never get an answer from me
I always keep it stuck in my head
A million words I could have said
You say you're so overwhelmed with grief and it's because of me

Don't you say, you know I heard you said you know
Don't you say, you know anything about me
Don't you say, you know I heard you said you know
Don't you say, you know anything about me

I'll never show you my frustrations
I'll act accordingly to hold it back
I find it hard to just relax

Please disregard my opinion
I try to only give it when I'm asked
Helps to get it off my chest
You say you're so overwhelmed with grief and it's because of me

So, don't you say, you know I heard you said you know
Don't you say, you know anything about me
Don't you say, you know I heard you said you know
Don't you say, you know anything about me

The point has been right in front of you in plain view
The past does not only repeat, it haunts you
I can't get the words you said out of my head
Out of my head, my head

Don't you say, you know I heard you said you know
Don't you say, you know anything about me
Don't you say, you know I heard you said you know
Don't you say, you know anything about me

All along, we follow blindly,
Force fed prime-time, previewed nightly,
Why would anybody leave the safety of their homes?

I wonder why,
I wonder why,
Only disasters flood the headlines,
Other people抯 misery,
Are on for the next three hours,
Commercial free.

And I can抰 take much more of this,
We抮e all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
So I turn it off.

I see billboards on the horizon,
I can抰 imagine what they抣l tell me,
What to wear,
What to drink,
Where to eat,
It抯 so easy not to think for yourself anymore,
So naive,
You don抰 do anything anymore.

And I can抰 take much more of this,
We抮e all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
And no,
I can抰 take much more of this,
We抮e all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel...

We all give in,
We all complain,
We sit and wait,
For things to change,
We're waiting,
We're waiting.

All along, we follow blindly,
All along, we follow blindly.

And I can抰 take much more of this,
We抮e all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
And no,
I can抰 take much more of this,
We抮e all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
So I turn it off...
Turn it off...

Eyes open, I'm wide awake
I feel I'm in a coma state
I'll lay here on my back and watch the fan turn

Conversations cross my mind, but not that of the speaking kind
TV images repeat there one line

Back and forth I toss and turn
It feels like strings are holding up my eyes

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

I'm putting up a losing fight
I'll never see this end tonight
The thought of just one dream it consumes me

Numbers on the clock turn back, my pills are having no effect
The beating of my heart keeps the time going

Back and forth I toss and turn
It feels like strings are holding up my eyes

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

They say that when you sleep your body's at rest
I wouldn't know what sleep felt like if I tried my best
If polaroids and memories can fade away, so can I...

Back and forth I toss and turn
It feels like strings are holding up my eyes

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

I'd kill....

I'm in and out of conversation
It's hard to keep my attention locked down
So don't take offence to anything i say
I tried so hard to keep you coming back my way
But you don't know the half and the one to blame for it

Cause I'm best known for failure
Best known for giving up
There's nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough
Cause I'm best known for failure (hey)
Best known for giving up (hey)
There's nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough

I've figured out my situation
I am an endless source of useless information
Give me bad news 'cause it's already been expected
I let my front down
And i know i will regret it
But you don't know the half and the one to blame for it

Cause I'm best known for failure
Best known for giving up
There's nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough
Cause I'm best known for failure (hey)
Best known for giving up (hey)
There's nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough

Lets get down to business now
I'm saving myself the trouble in the end
So lets get down to business now
I'm saving myself the trouble in the end
(Saving myself the trouble)
But you don't know the half and the one to blame for it

(hey) Cause I'm best known for failure (hey)
Best known for giving up (hey)
There's nothing that I can say that can matter

I'm the one to blame for this
Yes I'm the one to blame

Best known for failure
Best known for giving up
There's nothing I can say that can matter
That can matter enough

I tried to save us
But little did I know
You are a speeding train off track
With little time to go

I tried everything
Tried so hard to let you know
But now I'm on my last thread
Pulling away to no avail

Yeah
Now it's our time
Yeah
Now it's our time
And I'll see you on the other side

Beneath all your skin
There's another side to you
You built up city walls
So I never get through
You built up city walls
So I can never get through

Yeah
Now it's our time
Yeah
Now it's our time
And I'll see you on the other side

Why would I take it too far
With not thinking about the end at all
If a fortune could say what the future will bring
Then I'm not convinced
It's ending in tragedy
And most of all
It's in my control
To end it all

you must not have a heart
have nothing in your chest
to let it go for so long
and let this go so far
that it goes over your head

you could fool anyone
with your plastic smile
and you could live in your lie
for only a while
and i could only take so much
and i admit this could be worse
but it goes over your head

what does she have
can you let go
can you tell me
what i am aching to know

you could ruin any mood
just by saying what's on your mind
you could only take tame body
never tame this mind
and i can only take so much
and i admit this could be worse
but it goes over your head

what does she have
can you let go
can you tell me
what i am aching to know

if i'm reaching in
you're not letting it show
cause i'm respect
and there's no room to grow
sea deep, can't breath
and you can't find the air
it's right in front of you
but it goes over your head

what does she have
can you let go
can you tell me
what i am aching to know

you must not have a heart
have nothing in your chest

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

don't leave this rock unturned
cause you could like what you find
a sure shot hit
with your name attached to it
will you keep me in mind
I won't cast the first stone
or leave the first mark
but I will leave a lasting impression
you believe what you want
and you said what's been said
and i do hope you learn a lesson (do hope you learn a lesson)

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

don't look too hard for what you want
cause it could be on the tip of your tongue
you're holding back
like there's nothing left to it
could this be a false alarm
I won't cast the first stone
or leave the first mark
but I will leave a lasting impression
you believe what you want
and you said what's been said
and i do hope you learn a lesson (do hope you learn a lesson)

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

why don't you get it together now
failure's not flattering
when will you show yourself
when will you show yourself
ah, i do hope you learn a lesson
you'll never learn your lesson

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

what's your problem
can't you see it
and you go and blow it
like everyone knows you will

This letter explains everything
The content it is the truth
Each word could cut like daggers
If I decide to finally give it to you

I've rewrote and rechecked a thousand times
Licked it shut and said my goodbyes
The lines are perfectly written to break
Wide open this conclusion

And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, one full of doubt

I know that time wont change a thing
If we're all moving in slow motion
It's hard to catch up
When the world is weighing you down

And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one

It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, one full of doubt

I'm confused
Don't know what I should do now
You, you could lose everything close to you
Tell me how does this feel

When it feels like i've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one... yea

It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching the choir
If it looks like it won't work out
I'm the one, the one full of doubt

What do you think inside your head (i wanna know)
so you think that this could end up (breaking you)

Your life is a timebomb set to explode
You talk out your ass and everyone knows
For once you should listen or care what i think
Or i'll be gone before you can blink

Everyones told you over and over again
Your making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyones told you
Everyone you left behind
Your making the biggest mistake of your life

Everyone knows that your afraid of (missing out)
And i know that its hard for you to (swallow down)
A world you created set to explode
You lie through your teeth and everyone knows
For once you should take what im willing to give
Or you'll stay stuck in the web that your trapped in

Everyones told you over and over again
Your making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyones told you
Everyone you left behind
Your making the biggest mistake of your life

It's a chance (what a chance)
you should take (you take)
And i know its not an easy one to make
You should trust the ones that are closest to you

Everyones told you over and over again
Your making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyones told you
Everyone you left behind
Your making the biggest mistake of your life

You've made the biggest mistake of your life

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Your eyes were covered in sunglasses
When they first met mine
I sat there and stared at you
You didn't seem to mind
The awkward ways we meet

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

I never cared how i dressed before
But i cared that night
Anticipation ran through my bones
And my clothes never fit right
I can't wait 'til we meet again

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Framed pictures start to be put on the walls
Constant visits while im out on the road
Its hard to leave sometimes
But you know where i lay my head at night

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

There was a time and place,
Where I never thought,
I'd leave my own hometown,
But those days finally,
Are dead and gone,
It was never my intention to stay there,
Oh no,

There was a conscious effort played by me,
To disown anything I see,
There was a girl I knew,
Way back when,
Who says she doesn't know me anymore,
These are the lies the things you never mention,
These are my past mistakes I'll stay away from,

These are my thoughts written down on paper,
It's my only savior,
From not saying what I want to say,
These are the thoughts that are on my mind,
Moments that haven't yet been defined,
And I don't know if you could ever understand,
These are the things I can't say when were alone.

There were countless hours on the telephone,
My ears were ringing from the dial tone,
There were flashing lights,
People staring,
There was nothing I could ever do,
These are the lies the things you never mention,
These are my past mistakes I'll stay away from,

This is the truth,
The only time you'll here it,
I write it down because it seems so hard to say it,

These are my thoughts written down on paper,
It's my only savior,
From not saying what I want to say,
There are my thoughts that are on my mind,
Moments that haven't yet been defined,
And I don't know if you could ever understand,
These are the things I can't say when we're alone.

are you aware of how much you complicate me?
and are you aware your words suffocate me
and don抰 deny you抮e talking behind my back to your friends
and don抰 deny one day you抣l need me need me

all my life I抳e been looking for the answers
to the questions u never asked
and we never planned on this disaster
when will I let it go

so incomplete your stare is cold unlike anything I抳e ever seen
so incomplete your body is tired and falling apart at the seams
I won抰 deny I took no part in ever wanting you back
and I don抰 deny one day you抣l need me need me

all my life I抳e been looking for the answers
to the questions u never asked
and we never planned on this disaster
when will I let it go
[x2]

if it's tonight please let me know
if it's tonight why don抰 you let me know

[Chorus x3]

You抮e hiding something, 慶ause it抯 burning through your eyes
I try to get it out, but all I hear from you are lies

[Pre-Chorus:]
And I can tell you抮e going through the motions
I figured you were acting out your part
Once again, we抮e playing off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end?

[Chorus:]
Catalyst, you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it抯 all downhill from here
And it抯 all downhill from here

Your good intentions slowly turn to bitterness
Reoccurring episodes with each and every kiss
(Let抯 go!)

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

And I can抰 believe you pulled it off again
Or notice till it all sets in
You抣l deny it 憈il you抮e at your bitter end

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

And you keep pulling me down!
(pulling me down)
(pulling me down)
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it抯 all downhill from here
And it抯 all downhill from here

Don't believe a word,
A word they say.

It's more than a T-shirt,
It's more than a tattoo,
It's more than a phase.
This is how I was raised.

You keep trying to market this feeling.
I heard what you said,
And no were not the same,
No were not the same.

You'll never be a part (of what we have),
You'll never sing a song (that we love),
You'll never get respect,
And you cant fool us
Cause we know what you are.
Dont believe a word,
A word they fucking say!

The band saw its and first beginings in emcee/vocalist Mike Shinoda's small bedroom studio, where he and Brad Delson recorded the band's first material in 1996. The two had attended high school together, where they met the band's drummer, Rob Bourdon. Shinoda hooked up with DJ Joseph Hahn while studying illustration at Art Center College in Pasadena. Meanwhile, attending UCLA, Delson shared an apartment with bassist Phoenix, who left the band after college and returned a year later. At this point, they named themselves Xero and recorded several demo tracks. They never got signed, and the project floundered. Then Shinoda decided to hire a vocalist, and put out an ad. They got Chester Bennington, a transplanted Arizona native who started making records when he was 16. 'When I was two, I used to run around singing Foreigner songs - there's tapes of me doing that... since I learned how to talk I've been telling everybody I was gonna grow up to be a singer.' laughs Bennington.

The band called itself Hybrid Theory after the addition of Bennington (the idea being that they were a hybrid of rock and rap), however, due to a trademark issue with a band called Hybrid, they were forced to change their name. Some discarded ideas (serious or not) were Clear (the band's favorite), Probing Lagers (which they thought was the lamest), Ten PM Stocker (because they would record every night at 10 pm at a place on Stocker Street) and Platinum Lotus Foundation. Eventually, they settled on Lincoln Park, suggested by Bennington because after band practice he would have to drive past there to get home. However the domain 'lincolnpark.com' cost more than the band could afford, so they changed the spelling to Linkin Park. However, it has also been suggested that the name 'Linkin Park' was suggested so that the band would appear right next to Limp Bizkit at record stores.

Working with an independent label, the band recorded the album Hybrid Theory EP, which featured 'Carousel', 'Technique', 'Step Up', 'And One', 'High Voltage', 'Part of Me'.

After being signed to Warner Brothers in 1999 their first album, Hybrid Theory, was released in 2000. It was the top-selling album in the United States and New Zealand in 2001, with the hit singles 'One Step Closer', 'Crawling', 'Papercut', 'In The End' and 'Points of Authority'. The album is notable for its absence of profanity, in contrast to many other nu metal bands' songs.

Linkin Park were part of the Ozzfest in 2001, touring along side Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Crazy Town, Papa Roach, and Disturbed. Linkin Park have also created their own tour - Projekt: Revolution, and on it have toured with Cypress Hill, Adema, DJ Z-Trip, Xzibit, Mudvayne and Blindside.

In 2002, they released a remix album of their Hybrid Theory album, called Reanimation, as well as releasing a remix version of their song, 'Points Of Authority'.

In 2003 their new studio album was released, titled Meteora, which debuted at #1 in the US and UK, and #2 in Australia. It contained the singles, 'Somewhere I Belong', 'Faint', 'Numb', 'From The Inside' and 'Breaking The Habit'. Later in the year, they joined forces with fellow nu-metal band Limp Bizkit and Metallica for the Summer Sanitarium Tour 2003. From this tour, Linkin Park released a new CD/DVD set called Live in Texas. This set contains tracks from their three previous records, and was filmed on location at their Summer Sanitarium performances in Dallas and Houston, Texas .

In 2004, Linkin Park created the Meteora World Tour. This tour included Linkin Park, P.O.D., Hoobastank, and Story of the Year.

In 2004, Linkin Park was touring with Snoop Dogg, The Used, Korn, and Less Than Jake on the main stage, and No Warning, Ghostface, Funeral For A Friend, M.O.P., and Downset on the second stage as part of Projekt Revolution 2004. They also had a travelling DJ, Z-Trip with them, along with Irvin the Urban Action Figure.

On November 30, 2004, Linkin Park released Collision Course, a collaboration with rapper Jay-Z featuring rap-style remixes ('mash-ups') of songs from Meteora and Hybrid Theory using lyrics from Jay-Z's repertoire. Collision Course debuted at #1 in the US, but only got to # 17 in the UK. In Holland Collision Course made it to a 7th place. Their first Collision Course hit single 'Numb/Encore' reached #1 at the Free Record Shop Download Charts in Holland.
