With time to kill and an empty tomb I always find a way to pass the time with you Dark and smoky rooms, I can hardly stand the fumes
Telling me that you mean no harm You stand me up like a crutch, another arm But only when I′m gone have I been away too long
No, you don′t belong to me, I think you lied to me And with my back against this wall, it′s hard to be strong No, you′d tell me anything, look what you′ve done to me Still I tell myself that tomorrow you′ll be long gone
Any given time or place I never will forget the disgrace on your face So full of love, will it ever be enough? Ten feet tall and bullet proof I never thought that I had a thing to lose Well, it looks like after all, I′m gonna have to choose
No, you don′t belong to me, I think you lied to me And with my back against this wall, it′s hard to be strong No, you′d tell me anything, look what you′ve done to me Still, I tell myself that tomorrow you′ll be long gone
You help pass the time, but I′m doing fine on my own So there′s no good reason why to live such a lie Tell me have I been gone away too long?
No, you don′t belong to me, I think you lied to me And with my back against this wall, it′s hard to be strong No, you′d tell me anything, look what you′ve done to me Still I tell myself that tomorrow you′ll be long gone
You, you got me Thinking it′ll be alright. You, you told me, "Come and take a look inside." You believed me, In every single lie. But I, I failed you this time.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight, Tonight.
I was waiting For the day you′d come around. I was chasing, And nothing was all I found. From the moment you came into my life, You showed me what′s right.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight.
I never felt like this before. Just when I leave, I′m back for more. Nothing else here seems to matter. In these ever-changing days, You′re the one thing that remains. I could stay like this forever.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight. Tonight. Tonight. ′Cause there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you. And it feels like tonight. Tonight.
Ten miles from town and I just broke down Spittin′ out smoke on the side of the road I′m out here alone just tryin′ to get home To tell you I was wrong but you already know Believe me I won′t stop at nothin′ To see you so I′ve started runnin′
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter As long as I′m laughing with you I′m thinkin′ that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we′ve been through ′Cause I know there′s no life after you
Last time we talked, the night that I walked Burns like an iron in the back of my mind I must′ve been high to say you and I Weren′t meant to be and just wasting my time Oh, why did I ever doubt you? You know I would die here without you
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter As long as I′m laughing with you I′m thinkin′ that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we′ve been through ′Cause I know there′s no life after you
You and I, right or wrong, there′s no other one After this time I spent alone It′s hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind Thinkin′ ′bout the better times, must′ve been outta my mind So I′m runnin′ back to tell you
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter Without you God knows what I′d do
All that I′m after is a life full of laughter As long as I′m laughing with you I′m thinkin′ that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we′ve been through ′Cause I know there′s no life after you
I′m staring out into the night, Trying to hide the pain. I′m going to the place where love And feeling good don′t ever cost a thing. And the pain you feel′s a different kind of pain.
Well I′m going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I′m not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don′t regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, So I′m going home. Well I′m going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems, The closer I get to you. I′ve not always been the best man or friend for you. But your love, it makes true. And I don′t know why. You always seem to give me another try.
So I′m going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I′m not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don′t regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, So I′m going home. I′m going home.
Be careful what you wish for, ′Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, And then some you don′t want. Be careful what you wish for, ′Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, yeah.
Oh, well I′m going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I′m not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don′t regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old. I said these places and these faces are getting old, So I′m going home. I′m going home.
I woke up today sinkin′ like the stones that you have thrown Wounded by the same ole shots you take It′s easier to kick me when I′m low
And I just thought that you should know I′ve been holding on while you′ve been letting go Well, it′s not too late to say it right this time ′Cause I know I said I′m sorry but that′s not what I meant to say
I′m strong enough to say That I don′t wanna take the high road now So typical of you to walk away When your perfect little world is burning down
And I just thought that you should know I′ve been holding on while you′ve been letting go, can I be so bold? ′Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old Well, it′s not too late to say it right this time ′Cause I know I said I′m sorry, but that′s not what I meant to say
What I really meant to say with every little breath I take I′m not the only one who makes mistakes Just think of all the ones you′ve made
And I just thought that you should know I′ve been holding on while you′ve been letting go, can I be so bold? ′Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old Well, it′s not too late to say it right this time ′Cause I know I said I′m sorry, but that′s not what I meant to say
How the time passed away? All the trouble that we gave And all those days we spent out by the lake Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made One by one they vanish just the same
Of all the things I still remember Summer′s never looked the same The years go by and time just seems to fly by But the memories remain
In the middle of September we′d still play out in the rain Nothing to lose but everything to gain Reflecting now on how things could′ve been It was worth it in the end
Now it all seems so clear, there′s nothing left to fear So we made our way by finding what was real Now the days are so long that summer′s moving on We reach for something that′s already gone
Of all the things I still remember Summer′s never looked the same The years go by and time just seems to fly by But the memories remain
In the middle of September we′d still play out in the rain Nothing to lose but everything to gain Reflecting now on how things could′ve been It was worth it in the end
We knew we had to leave this town But we never knew when and we never knew how We would end up here the way we are Yeah we knew we had to leave this town But we never knew when and we never knew how
Of all the things I still remember Summer′s never looked the same The years go by and time just seems to fly by But the memories remain
In the middle of September we′d still play out in the rain Nothing to lose but everything to gain Reflecting now on how things could′ve been It was worth it in the end
I open my lungs to breathe in forgiveness and love Haunting me now reminders of how I used to be And on down the road my troubles are sure to follow Looking out the window, the hell if know where I will go So I′ll just keep on driving
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away I′ve sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I′ve learned? So this can all end tonight Tennessee line just changed my, well it′s my heart I′ll follow this time
Who would′ve known that pride is so hard to swallow As I rest on the shoulder of a road growing colder With the trouble I own, should I just keep on driving?
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away I′ve sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I′ve learned? So this can all end tonight Tennessee line just changed my, well it′s my heart I′ll follow this time
I know I must be doing something Head the other way, back to where I started out Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight And stop living with doubt
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away I′ve sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I′ve learned? So this can all end tonight Tennessee line just changed my, well it′s my heart I′ll follow this time
I′m gonna turn it all around tonight at the Tennessee line
All those years One day changes everything, and Gone and your life and the passion fades away Saving for something That you’ll never see in your days Shutting out everything that you need
(Looking through distorted eyes) Beautiful disaster (Adding up a million lies) So much for “ever after” Building up your wall Everything you wanted Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away Giving in or leaving this now Now we have what we have become All the tears We never thought we’d see the day when The trappings of your life would seem to disappear Goin through the vacancy you leave behind Not what you have promised, Not what you believed
(Looking through distorted eyes) Beautiful disaster (Adding up a million lies) So much for “ever after” Building up your wall Everything you wanted Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away Now we have what we have become Now you fight to ease your pain Now you know it’s not the way out Now you know it’s not the way out Not the way out
Building up your wall Everything you wanted Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away Now we have what we have become
Tonight the sunset means so much The one thing that you know you′ll never touch Like the feeling, the real thing I reach out for that sweet dream
But somehow the darkness wakes me up I′ve felt this emptiness before But all the times that I′ve been broken I still run right back for more
You′d think that I′d learn my lesson by now You′d think that I′d somehow figure out That if you strike the match You′re bound to feel the flame
You think that I′d learn the cost of love Paid that price long enough But still I drive myself right through the pain Yeah, well it turns out, I haven′t learned a thing
Sometimes I think I′m better off To turn out the lights and close up shop And give up the longing, believing in belonging Just hold down my head and take the loss
You′d think that I′d learn my lesson by now You′d think that I′d somehow figure out That if you strike the match You′re bound to feel the flame
You′d think that I′d learn the cost of love Paid that price long enough But still I drive myself right through the pain Yeah, well it turns out, I haven′t learned a thing
Thought it was dead and buried Then it woke you up last night You sounded so damn worried You′ve been tossing, turning, both ends burning
I wanna put your mind at ease again (Make everything alright) I know it′s getting underneath your skin I′ve tried to tell you now
Don′t look over your shoulder ′Cause that′s just the ghost of me You′re seeing in your dreams Wait, there′s no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there′s no meaning In the visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them You′re looking at the ghost of me
With your imagination and emotions running wild Fueling my frustrations like a fire burning, clock keeps turning I know it′s getting underneath your skin I′ve tried to tell you now
Don′t look over your shoulder ′Cause that′s just the ghost of me You′re seeing in your dreams Wait, there′s no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there′s no meaning In the visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me
Don′t look over your shoulder ′Cause that′s just the ghost of me You′re seein′ Wait, there′s no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there′s no meaning In the visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them Visions when you′re sleepin′ Don′t wake up and believe them You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me You′re looking at the ghost of me
Traveled all around the world to be with you You never know where the open road will lead you to I crawl before I walk, still got nowhere fast The other side still has the greener grass Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there
I hear it′s such a Long Way Down And the climb back up ain′t as easy as it sounds I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up is just something I can do without Something I can do without
I walked until I didn′t have no energy I bought until I didn′t have no bite left in me I died so that I didn′t have to live in the past But the other side still had the greener grass Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there
I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up ain′t as easy as it sounds I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up is just something I can do without Something I can do without
Put your hands up yeah, Put your hands up yeah Put your hands up yeah, Something I can do without
I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up ain′t as easy as it sounds I hear it′s such a long way down And the climb back up is just something I can do without Just something I can do without, oh yeah
Something I can do without, Something I can do without Something I can do without, Something I can do without Something I can do without, Something I can do without Something I can do without, out, out, out, that′s it
Cry out all who care to know I’ve been hollow way too long I know where I’m going wrong There’s nothing I can do I believe you can get me through Nothing else will do I believe you can get me through So can you stop the bleeding? Get me through…
Color blind I paint your blue sky grey But this time you’ll shed some light on me Just before I fade away There’s nothing I can do I believe you can get me through Nothing else will do I believe you can get me through So can you stop the bleeding? Get me through…
All the chances that you’re takin’ The promises that I keep breaking down Writings on the wall Can’t make out all the letters But I know it’s getting better now The writings on the wall
Get me through…
There’s nothing I can do I believe you can get me through Nothing else will do I believe you can get me through So can you stop the bleeding? Get me through…
Now that it′s all said and done, I can′t believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down, Like an old abandoned house. What you said when you left Just left me cold and out of breath. I fell too far, was in way too deep. Guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should′ve started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I′d doubt you, I′m better off without you More than you, more than you know. I′m slowly getting closure. I guess it′s really over. I′m finally getting better. And now I′m picking up the pieces. I′m spending all of these years Putting my heart back together. ′Cause the day I thought I′d never get through, I got over you.
You took a hammer to these walls, Dragged the memories down the hall, Packed your bags and walked away. There was nothing I could say. And when you slammed the front door shut, A lot of others opened up, So did my eyes so I could see That you never were the best for me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should′ve started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I′d doubt you, I′m better off without you More than you, more than you know. I′m slowly getting closure. I guess it′s really over. I′m finally getting better. And now I′m picking up the pieces. I′m spending all of these years Putting my heart back together. ′Cause the day I thought I′d never get through, I got over you.

Doesn′t come down when she calls, "It′s time for breakfast." Momma can′t get down those halls Fast enough to see Glass is sprayed across the floor From the broken window. She can′t breathe anymore. Can′t deny what we know.
They′re gonna find you, just believe. You′re not a person; you′re a disease.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in. You ain′t comin′ in.
Posters hung on building walls Of missing faces. Months go by without the cause, The clues, or traces.
They′re gonna find you, just believe. You′re not a person; you′re a disease.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold.
Doesn′t come down when she calls, "It′s time for breakfast." The memories begin to fall. She asks, "When will I be free?"
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking.

The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
Dusty roads Hopeless nights Looking at.. blinding lights Saw your ghost here tonight It lingers on and I feel your life Pulling me back to the place But the thought of staring back at you is more than I can face And its a long way down From where I used to rest my head And its safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs and wasted land. And its a long way down.. To you
Dusty roads, Hopeless nights.. Looking at blinding lights Saw your ghost, Its alive. It lingers on, feel your life. Pulling me back to the place... But the thought of staring back at you was more than I could face
And it′s a long way now, From where I used to rest my head And it′s safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs and wasted land It′s a long way down to you.. To you To you To you...
Saw your ghost.. It′s alive. Lingers on, I feel your life..
And it′s a long way now To where I used to rest my head And it′s safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs to wasted land And It′s a long way down It′s a long way down To where I used to rest my head And its safe and sound If only I could turn around There′s no direction where I stand Just dead end signs to wasted land And it′s a long way down to you...
Tell me what you need and I will find a way to stop the bleeding; No, don′t add to my mistakes. Tell me you′re not leaving and I′ll tell you everything you need to know. Don′t throw it all away, don′t say my words are just too late.
I don′t want to be left behind, I′ve been so blind to all that I have broken. Can we put this back together? No more empty promises, they don′t exist; just me out in the open. I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?
You say the story′s ending but I think it′s time we stop pretending; No, can′t let you turn the page. Does your heart remember when we used to say forever, don′t let go. Don′t throw it all away; don′t say these words are just too late.
I don′t want to be left behind, I′ve been so blind to all that I have broken. Can we put this back together? No more empty promises, they don′t exist; just me out in the open. I know this will take time, can we put the past behind us, Tonight I′m gonna fight for you; just give me one last chance to make it right, Last chance to make it right.

Give me one last chance to make it right, A last chance to make it right A last chance to make it right No more empty promises, they don′t exist; just me out in the open. I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?
Lost from the start, I might as well be on the moon Much colder than I thought even in the month of June No communication makes ya feel so alone All we need is patience in which I′ve never really known
But now it′s too late, it′s taking over me It feels so supernatural and I′m pulled the other way It′s more than I can take and I′m losing hold of everything And no matter how I try you know I can′t deny ′Cause you feel so supernatural
Every step I′ve taken has led me here to where you are But all that I believe in is keeping me from seeing too far Throwing out the questions, waiting for the right reply Looking for the answers, tell me will it be tonight?
But now it′s too late, it′s taking over me It feels so supernatural and I′m pulled the other way It′s more than I can take and I′m losing hold of everything When it′s more than physical it′s kind of hard to see beyond the glow And no matter how I try you know I can′t deny ′Cause you feel so supernatural
Through the atmosphere I′m seeing Glimpses of the past I′m leaving Holding on for life as we collide
But now it′s too late, it′s taking over me It feels so supernatural and I′m pulled the other way It′s more than I can take and I′m losing hold of everything When it′s more than physical it′s kind of hard to see beyond the glow And no matter how I try you know I can′t deny ′Cause you feel so supernatural
It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did, But never did a thing about it ′til I let you in. It′s kinda funny about the time that I was falling apart. You came and put me back together, now.
′Cause what I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
I still remember all the stupid things that I′ve said and done, But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!" Givin′ me a name, I found myself inside all the flames. Becoming everything for you again.
What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
Don′t tell me you saw it all along. God help me, I never knew it alone. Guess I was wrong.
What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. You′ve taken me, And shaped me to become what you want me to be.
You used to talk to me like I was the only one around. You used to lean on me like The only other choice was falling down. You used to walk with me like We had nowhere we needed to go, Nice and slow, to no place in particular.
We used to have this figured out; We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear, you were the first star that I′d see. We used to have this under control. We never thought. We used to know. At least there′s you, and at least there′s me. Can we get this back? Can we get this back to how it used to be?
I used to reach for you when I got lost along the way. I used to listen. You always had just the right thing to say. I used to follow you. Never really cared where we would go, Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.
We used to have this figured out; We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear, you were the first star that I′d see. We used to have this under control. We never thought. We used to know. At least there′s you, and at least there′s me. Can we get this back? Can we get this back to how it used to be?
I look around me, And I want you to be there ′Cause I miss the things that we shared. Look around you. It′s empty, and you′re sad ′Cause you miss the love that we had.
You used to talk to me like I was the only one around, The only one around.
We used to have this figured out; We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear, you were the first star that I′d see. We used to have this under control. We never thought. We used to know. At least there′s you, and at least there′s me. Can we get this back? Can we get this back to how it used to be? Yeah. To how it used to be. To how it used to be, yeah. To how it used to be. To how it used to be.
Feeling like this could only mean I′m sinking. Feeling like this could only mean I′m sinking. Well, I′m sinking. Pull me up.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Every time I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone, But you are. You are.
Feeling overwhelmed, I take a dive To a once overfilled but now empty place to hide. The day you turned on me is the day I died, And I′ve forgotten what it′s like, And how it feels to be alive.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Every time I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone.
Reach up to the sky. When nothing seems to go right, When nothing seems to go right for me.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor. I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Everytime I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You never would be gone. I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone, But you are.
Shadows fill an empty heart As love is fading, From all the things that we are But are not saying. Can we see beyond the scars And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky. And open up to The ways you made me feel alive, The ways I loved you. For all the things that never died, To make it through the night, Love will find you.
What about now? What about today? What if you′re making me all that I was meant to be? What if our love never went away? What if it′s lost behind words we could never find? Baby, before it′s too late, What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes To start a new day. This broken heart can still survive With a touch of your grace. Shadows fade into the light. I am by your side, Where love will find you.
What about now? What about today? What if you′re making me all that I was meant to be? What if our love, it never went away? What if it′s lost behind words we could never find? Baby, before it′s too late, What about now?
Now that we′re here, Now that we′ve come this far, Just hold on. There is nothing to fear, For I am right beside you. For all my life, I am yours.
What about now? What about today? What if you′re making me all that I was meant to be? What if our love never went away? What if it′s lost behind words we could never find?
What about now? What about today? What if you′re making me all that I was meant to be? What if our love never went away? What if it′s lost behind words we could never find? Baby, before it′s too late, Baby, before it′s too late, Baby, before it′s too late, What about now?
I′ve been me, I been followin′ my dreams Tryin′ to find the scene where you believed me I been true, I been waiting here for you I been patient, understanding and believing
(Every time you turn around)
I know you′re standing there Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby But I won′t let ya down
I know you′re standing there Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby But I won′t let ya down every time you turn around
I′ve been good, I been doin′ what I should Workin′ hard to make a world that we can live in I been strong, I been holding out so long And I don′t you to forget that you′re forgiven
I know you′re standing there Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby But I won′t let ya down
I know you′re standing there Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby But I won′t let ya down every time you turn around
All the reasons you believe what you believe Never seeing that the truth is a part of me When all I wanna do is show you what it really means to love What it really means to love
I know you′re standing there Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby But I won′t let ya down
I see ya standing there Waiting for me to take it on back down the other road, baby But I won′t let ya down every time you turn around

[Verse 1:] Your life is like a crack in the mirror 7 years of bad luck it aint getting better now Not till all is said and done Reflection in the window is the same old face Background small town everywhere you look around Tell me what you′re runnin from
Flip a coin and let it land in your hand Heads you gonna stay but its tails
[Chorus:] So you can move to another town Hide where you′re sure you wont be found But its still just you on the inside You can pretend it′ll be alright Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie Cause its still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside...
[Verse 2:] Nothin faster than the speed of your leavin A hundred miles an hour and there aint no slowin down But you cant outrun yourself Hey you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck But now you′re skipping like a broken record goin round You′re the last to ask for help
You flip a coin and let it land in your hand Heads you gonna stay but its tails
[Chorus:] So you can move to another town Hide where you′re sure you wont be found But its still just you on the inside You can′t pretend it′ll be alright Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie Cause its still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
[Bridge:] Its never really been a question of how far And at the end of every destination there you are
[Ending Chorus:] You can move to another town Hide where you′re sure you won′t be found But its still just you on the inside You can pretend it will be alright No matter how you sell it When you tell it its a lie Cause its still just you on the inside Still you on the inside (You can go and change and to me you′ll always be the same) Still you on the inside (You can try and run and know you′ll always be the same inside) Still you on the inside (You can go and change and to me you′ll always be the same) Still you on the inside (You can try and run and know you′ll always be the same inside) Still love you on the inside.
The traffic light Waits for you to tell me the tale of a shattered life, tonight And I just passed by when you have had the chance to fight Or would you spend your last days alone Thinkin nobody would have cared or known just look me in the eye and see that its a light So you′re telling me, this is how you′re going down You thought that I never really wanted you around Well you are way off track to think like that Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said bout how Id never want to see you again Well this is what I, what I left behind What I left behind, what I left behind Need a change In a minute of my time did I get your name? Well you say, that I haven′t been asked that in years Now I think, the traffic light that stood in the way So that I can hear what you had to say I′m half way through your story Cant help thinking that you′re just like me
This is how I′m going down I thought that they never really wanted me around Well I was way off track to think like that Coz now I′m taken back, everything that I ever said bout how they′d never want to see me again Well this is what I, what I left behind
Forgetting about ourselves Is like history that dust is covering left on the self, on the self The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say
Yeah, this is how you′re going down You thought I′d never really wanted you around Well you were way off track to think like that Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said bout how I never want to see you again Well this is what I, what I left behind This is how you′re going down This is what I, what I left behind
(And I hope.. and I hope..) I′ve practiced this for hours, gone round and round And now I think that I′ve got it all down And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds ′Cause I′m not taking the easy way out Not wrappin′ this in ribbons Shouldn′t have to give a reason why
It′s no surprise.. I won′t be here tomorrow I can′t believe that I stayed til today Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow But I know in time we′ll find this was no surprise
It came out like a river, once I let it out When I thought that I wouldn′t know how Held onto it forever.. just pushing it down It felt so good to let go of it now Not wrapping this in ribbons Shouldn′t have to give a reason why
It′s no surprise.. I won′t be here tomorrow I can′t believe that I stayed til today There′s nothing here in this heart left to borrow There′s nothing here in this soul left to save Don′t be surprised when we hate this tomorrow God knows we tried to find an easier way Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow But I know in time we′ll find this was no surprise Our favorite place we used to go The warm embrace that no one knows The lovin′ look that′s left your eyes That′s why this comes as no.. as no surprise
If I could see the future and how this plays out I bet it′s better than where we are now But after going through this It′s easier to see the reason why
It′s no surprise.. I won′t be here tomorrow I can′t believe that I stayed til today (Stayed til today) Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow But I know in time we′ll find this was no surprise Our favorite place we used to go The warm embrace that no one knows The lovin′ look that′s left your eyes But I know in time we′ll find this was no surprise (And I hope.. and I hope.. and I hope.. and I hope.. and I hope..)
Well I was moving at the speed of sound. Head-spinning, couldn′t find my way around, and Didn′t know that I was going down. Yeah, yeah. Where I′ve been, well it′s all a blur. What I was looking for, I′m not sure. Too late and didn′t see it coming. Yeah, yeah.
And then I crashed into you, And I went up in flames. Could′ve been the death of me, But then you breathed your breath in me. And I crashed into you, Like a runaway train. You will consume me, But I can′t walk away.
Somehow, I couldn′t stop myself. I just wanted to know how it felt. Too strong, I couldn′t hold on. Yeah, yeah. Now I′m just tryin′ to make some sense Out of how and why this happened. Where we′re heading, there′s just no knowing. Yeah, yeah.
And then I crashed into you, And I went up in flames. Could′ve been the death of me, But then you breathed your breath in me. And I crashed into you, Like a runaway train. You will consume me, But I can′t walk away.
From your face, your eyes Are burning to me. You saved me, you gave me Just what I need. Oh, just what I need.
And then I crashed into you, And I went up in flames. Could′ve been the death of me, But then you breathed your breath in me. And I crashed into you, Like a runaway train. You will consume me, But I can′t walk away.
And then I crashed into you, And then I crashed into you, And then I crashed into you, And then I crashed into you, And I crashed into you, Like a runaway train. You will consume me, But I can′t walk away.
You never said, you never said, you never said That it would be this hard Love is meant to be forever, now or never seems to discard There′s gotta be a better way for me to say What′s on my heart without leaving scars? Can you hear me when I call your name?
And when you fall apart Am I the reason for your endless sorrow? There′s so much to be said and with a broken heart You walls can only go down but so low Can you hear me when I call your name?
Complicated situations are the makings of all that′s wrong And I′ve been standing in the river of deliverance way too long There′s gotta be a better way for me to say What′s on my heart without leaving scars? Can you hear me when I call your name? So, can you hear me when I call your name?
And when you fall apart Am I the reason for your endless sorrow? There′s so much to be said and with a broken heart You walls can only go down but so low Can you hear me when I call your name?
Open up the book you beat me with again. Read it off one sentence at a time. I′m tired of all the lines, Convictions and your lies. What right do you have to point at me?
Well, I′m sitting alone thinking about it all over coffee. And still crowdin′ my space are the things you still hold against me. You cannot save me.
Well, it′s not the time to breakdown. It′s not the time to breakdown. It′s not the time to break up this love, Keep it together now. It′s not the time to break.
Read it all, no need for separating here. You see what you want and try to justify. All your little lines, Convictions and your lies. What right do you have to point at me?

A single rose left to remember As a single tear falls from her eye Another cold day in December A year from the day she said goodbye
Seems it′s only been a moment Since the angels took him from her arms And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow But as they laid him in the ground Her heart would sing without a sound
For the first time you can open your eyes And see the world without your sorrow Where no one knows the pain you left behind And all the peace you could never find Is waiting there to hold and keep you Welcome to the first day of your life Just open up your eyes
A single lifetime lays behind her As she draws her final breath Just beyond the door he′ll find her Taking her hand she softly says
For the first time you can open your eyes And see the world without your sorrow Where no one knows the pain you left behind And all the peace you could never find Is waiting there to hold and keep you Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry
For the first time you can open your eyes And see the world without your sorrow Where no one knows the pain you left behind And all the peace you could never find Is waiting there to hold and keep you Welcome to the first day of your life
You, you got me Thinking it′ll be alright. You, you told me, "Come and take a look inside." You believed me, In every single lie. But I, I failed you this time.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight, Tonight.
I was waiting For the day you′d come around. I was chasing, And nothing was all I found. From the moment you came into my life, You showed me what′s right.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight.
I never felt like this before. Just when I leave, I′m back for more. Nothing else here seems to matter. In these ever-changing days, You′re the one thing that remains. I could stay like this forever.
And it feels like tonight. I can′t believe I′m broken inside. Can′t you see that there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you? And it feels like tonight. Tonight. Tonight. ′Cause there′s nothing that I wanna do, But try to make it up to you. And it feels like tonight. Tonight.
I was blown away. What could I say? It all seemed to make sense. You′ve taken away everything, And I can′t deal with that. I try to see the good in life, But good things in life are hard to find. We′ll blow it away, blow it away. Can we make this something good? Well, I′ll try to do it right this time around.
Let′s start over. I′ll try to do it right this time around. It′s not over. ′Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you′re the only one. It′s not over.
Taken all I could take, And I cannot wait. We′re wasting too much time Being strong, holding on. Can′t let it bring us down. My life with you means everything, So I won′t give up that easily. I′ll blow it away, blow it away. Can we make this something good? ′Cause it′s all misunderstood. Well, I′ll try to do it right this time around.
Let′s start over. I′ll try to do it right this time around. It′s not over. ′Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you′re the only one. It′s not over.
We can′t let this get away. Let it out, let it out. Don′t get caught up in yourself. Let it out.
Let′s start over. I′ll try to do it right this time around. It′s not over. ′Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground. This love is killing me, But you′re the only one. It′s not over.
Let′s start over. It′s not over, yeah... This love is killing me, But you′re the only one. It′s not over.
You used to talk to me like I was the only one around. You used to lean on me like The only other choice was falling down. You used to walk with me like We had nowhere we needed to go, Nice and slow, to no place in particular.
We used to have this figured out; We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear, you were the first star that I′d see. We used to have this under control. We never thought. We used to know. At least there′s you, and at least there′s me. Can we get this back? Can we get this back to how it used to be?
I used to reach for you when I got lost along the way. I used to listen. You always had just the right thing to say. I used to follow you. Never really cared where we would go, Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.
We used to have this figured out; We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear, you were the first star that I′d see. We used to have this under control. We never thought. We used to know. At least there′s you, and at least there′s me. Can we get this back? Can we get this back to how it used to be?
I look around me, And I want you to be there ′Cause I miss the things that we shared. Look around you. It′s empty, and you′re sad ′Cause you miss the love that we had.
You used to talk to me like I was the only one around, The only one around.
We used to have this figured out; We used to breathe without a doubt. When nights were clear, you were the first star that I′d see. We used to have this under control. We never thought.

To how it used to be. To how it used to be.
Shadows fill an empty heart As love is fading, From all the things that we are But are not saying. Can we see beyond the scars And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky. And open up to The ways you made me feel alive, The ways I loved you. For all the things that never died, To make it through the night, Love will find you.
What about now? What about today? What if you′re making me all that I was meant to be? What if our love never went away? What if it′s lost behind words we could never find? Baby, before it′s too late, What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes To start a new day. This broken heart can still survive With a touch of your grace. Shadows fade into the light. I am by your side, Where love will find you.
What about now? What about today? What if you′re making me all that I was meant to be? What if our love, it never went away? What if it′s lost behind words we could never find? Baby, before it′s too late, What about now?
Now that we′re here, Now that we′ve come this far, Just hold on. There is nothing to fear, For I am right beside you. For all my life, I am yours.
What about now? What about today? What if you′re making me all that I was meant to be? What if our love never went away? What if it′s lost behind words we could never find?

It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did, But never did a thing about it ′til I let you in. It′s kinda funny about the time that I was falling apart. You came and put me back together, now.
′Cause what I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
I still remember all the stupid things that I′ve said and done, But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!" Givin′ me a name, I found myself inside all the flames. Becoming everything for you again.
What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
Don′t tell me you saw it all along. God help me, I never knew it alone. Guess I was wrong.
What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. As days go by, I′ve finally become what you want me to be.
And what I need Has now become the same thing You′ve been offering. You′ve taken me, And shaped me to become what you want me to be.
Doesn′t come down when she calls, "It′s time for breakfast." Momma can′t get down those halls Fast enough to see Glass is sprayed across the floor From the broken window. She can′t breathe anymore. Can′t deny what we know.
They′re gonna find you, just believe. You′re not a person; you′re a disease.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in. You ain′t comin′ in.
Posters hung on building walls Of missing faces. Months go by without the cause, The clues, or traces.
They′re gonna find you, just believe. You′re not a person; you′re a disease.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold.
Doesn′t come down when she calls, "It′s time for breakfast." The memories begin to fall. She asks, "When will I be free?"
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don′t you know it′s violation? It′s so wrong, but you′ll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. All these lives that you′ve been taking, Deep inside, my heart is breaking. The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, The world outside these walls may know you′re breathing, But you ain′t comin′ in.
Now that it′s all said and done, I can′t believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down, Like an old abandoned house. What you said when you left Just left me cold and out of breath. I fell too far, was in way too deep. Guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should′ve started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I′d doubt you, I′m better off without you More than you, more than you know. I′m slowly getting closure. I guess it′s really over. I′m finally getting better. And now I′m picking up the pieces. I′m spending all of these years Putting my heart back together. ′Cause the day I thought I′d never get through, I got over you.
You took a hammer to these walls, Dragged the memories down the hall, Packed your bags and walked away. There was nothing I could say. And when you slammed the front door shut, A lot of others opened up, So did my eyes so I could see That you never were the best for me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should′ve started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I′d doubt you, I′m better off without you More than you, more than you know. I′m slowly getting closure. I guess it′s really over. I′m finally getting better. And now I′m picking up the pieces.

Feeling like this could only mean I′m sinking. Feeling like this could only mean I′m sinking. Well, I′m sinking. Pull me up.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Every time I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone, But you are. You are.
Feeling overwhelmed, I take a dive To a once overfilled but now empty place to hide. The day you turned on me is the day I died, And I′ve forgotten what it′s like, And how it feels to be alive.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Every time I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone.
Reach up to the sky. When nothing seems to go right, When nothing seems to go right for me.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor. I say I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone. Everytime I see the light not burning on the porch, I say I thought you would be home. You never would be gone. I thought you would be home. You said you never would be gone, But you are.
