Empty reasons for my past Excuses do not hold I′m struck with my affliction An inner perfect storm Why didn′t someone warn me To save me from my self The pain is self inflicted The decisions were my own
Now listen to history
[CHORUS:] There′s so much I could say There′s so much that I′ve learned don′t make my mistake There′s no time to delay Take my hand and learn from my heartache
Take a look into the past see all the things I′ve tried Looking for a truth inside but only finding pain
See these deep and painful scars, cutting to the bone Do you want to look like me? With a broken, empty life
[BRIDGE:] Some things you may never understand But knowledge from lessons not your own Can save you from the unknown which may stop your fall
Don′t speak to me this way Don′t ever let me say Don′t leave me again [x2] I never felt this loss before And the world is closing doors I never wanted anything more [x2] Don′t hug me this way Don′t touch me this way Don′t hug me again [x2] Don′t hug me this way Don′t touch me this way Don′t hug me this again [x2] I never felt this loss before And the world is closing doors I never wanted anything more Don′t let me make the same mistake again Please, don′t let me make the same mistake again Don′t let me make the same mistake again I never felt this loss before And the world is closing doors I never wanted anything more Please, Don′t let me make the same mistake again [x2]
As I sift and drift through bullshit, That plagues from day to day, Would you ever really notice I′ve gone away?
CHORUS
I′m over the wall, Over the hill, Over at your place, I′m over the safetys, Over the phone calls, Over the rage, What a mistake.
When you′ve lost the stones to throw, The ones I found to make a fire, And all the lonely souls that say so get fired.
CHORUS
What a mistake, What a mistake, What a mistake, What a mistake,
I′ve never been lost, I′ve never been found, And it make no difference, if I′m around, There′s never been words, there′s never been actions Never made promises that i′ve never kept.
CHORUS
Interlude by both Chad & Ryan:
I just can′t seem to get out of this, Pulling on the threads, I′m always pulling on the threads, I′m always pulling on the threads, What a mistake, mistake.
So as i sift and drift through bullshit, That plagues from day to day, Would you ever really notice I′ve gone away?
Yesterday, you came to me And told me you have found another love (love love) At first, it was hard to see That I could be the reason because, I gave my all to you My heart to you But I guess it wasn′t enough, To make you, hear me out Say what loves about We′re worth it And nobody′s perfect
Cause everybody makes mistakes It′s something everybody goes through I′m not afraid to say, I′m sorry That′s something other people don′t do And I will take the blame, For everything Baby you can put it on me Cause everybody makes mistakes What can I do to make you see?
I′m only human I′m only human
I know I said it, a thousand times But sorry doesn′t cut it A lie will make it right I know my chances are slim to none But can′t we give it one last try, I gave my all to you My heart to you But I guess it wasn′t enough To make you, hear me out Say what loves about We′re worth it And nobody′s perfect
Cause everybody makes mistakes It′s something everybody goes through I′m not afraid to say, I′m sorry That′s something other people don′t do And I will take the blame, For everything Baby you can put it on me Cause everybody makes mistakes What can I do to make you see?
I′m only human (I′m only human) (human) I′m only human (human)
Cause everybody makes mistakes It′s something everybody goes through I′m not afraid to say, I′m sorry Its something other people don′t do And I will take the blame, For everything Baby you can put it on me Cause everybody makes mistakes What can I do to make you see?
Watch it blow my mind It′s something I am ill-prepared to remedy But let it slow the time It takes to die and close your eyes to your enemy Defy! Self-made millionaires won′t take ideas From all the little plebeians just suffocate with smiles And force fed lies And close your mind to reality Deny
It feels like I′m losing again When I′ve lost everything I′m sure I will see more clearly Lose what I′m feeling to them And not feeling anything I′m sure I will bleed sincerely Tonight!
So you make the simplest mistake So you make the simplest mistake And fearlessly you deny your involvement in my demise But give me your open hand
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep. Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet. Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go. Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go. My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show? I lose the track that loses me, so here I go. And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night. Said he′d seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me, So I set out to cut myself and here I go. I′m not calling for a second chance, I′m screaming at the top of my voice. Give me reason but don′t give me choice. ′Cause I′ll just make the same mistake again. And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak. Don′t buy the promises ′cause, there are no promises I keep. And my reflection troubles me, so here I go. I′m not calling for a second chance, I′m screaming at the top of my voice. Give me reason but don′t give me choice. ′Cause I′ll just make the same mistake, I′m not calling for a second chance, I′m screaming at the top of my voice. Give me reason but don′t give me choice. ′Cause I′ll just make the same mistake again. Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep. Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars. Look at the stars fall down. And wonder where did I go wrong.
Everybody is made of clay That′s what they used to say Until the truth stepped on us all Now everything that was big is small We′re just little crying robots Program me I wanna win the race I wanna find the place Where the king Locked up the princess Jump the fence And drink a little bit of...

Now who is the king of the sky Jupiter says oh me oh my oh why Is the game always changing I′ve been through some strangeness What′s the matter Is the feast not fat enough Up the ladder with your feet Reaching with your hands You can feel it and dream it I know you want to believe it Just steal it Take a piece of the sun And drink some...
Red wine, mistakes, apologies Red wine, headaches, mythology
Now everybody′s in the play At least that′s what the script Told me to say It said: Shadows cut across the hero′s face He falls from grace Until a little bird sang: The truth is never ending We′re just here pretending Let′s all laugh so that we don′t cry Let′s all life our glasses up to the sky For some...

Help is on the way Doctor he says that you′re fine Clean bill of health now Cold crisp winter′s day Through car window trees rushing by The medicine′s poisoned my mind
And what did you think I would say? And how did you think I could save you? It′s my biggest mistake That I never did lie I couldn′t save you
Sit and stare for hours Wait for the morning to come Dream is a nightmare Helplessly entwined Your body like it′s on fire An alien love song tonight
And what did you think I would say? And how did you think I could save you? It′s my biggest mistake That I never realized I couldn′t save you
Help is on the way
And what did you think I would say? And how did you think I could save you? It′s my biggest mistake That I never realized I couldn′t save you
(Help is on the way Doctor he says that you′re fine Clean bill of health now Cold crisp winter′s day...)
No, I don′t feel a thing. Life′s going by me. And still I say, Oh God! I′m making the same mistakes. Low? I′m on empty. Try to erase all the bad times. Free? I don′t seem to be. My soul remains tied to your life. Every breath you breathe deep... I feel you circulating through me. I′ll never forgive myself again.
It′s a cruel cruel world So conventional Sometimes love just wins you over I′ve come to life it′s true It′s not intentional Everytime when we move closer
I′ll take the fall A twist i know You just see right through me It may be wrong But all along It keeps on turning turning
I could walk away now End it perfectly And just say your words are Not affecting me Somewhere deep inside I know it may be wrong But i′m ready to commit Mistake no. 2 Mistake no. 2
Must have heard it once a million times From everyone the perfect time But you′re the one to recognize There are things i need in my life So i′ll take the fall A twist i know It keeps on turning turning
Here it comes again It never ends I keep on falling further I′m not sure that i can walk away now...
just take it back (I feel) they′re only words (your hair) we hold the tethers (through my) we′re here together (fingers)
we paint the night (every) only to find (silk stand) it′s cracked and peeling (takes my) each face revealing (breath a-) what we don′t say (-way)
let′s take these lines and draw ourselves out of here this shipwreck from set-sail we′ll map the stars tonight they help to find a way when all is said words can breathe more life than death
the inner sense that people share touching on secrets and letting down hair
over and over let′s not forget last time i′ve kept the best parts and play them in my mind this is tomorrow so take it or leave it
empty diaries there′s nothing to say and we′ll take the right steps to keep these pages clean you want the answers i see them on your face you need to know this is where the promise breaks
i can give you my answer i can give you my answer i can give you my answer i can give you my answer
i know (i know) if you stay (if you stay) this will be (this will) ours to take (be ours to take)
inside i (i feel) am overwhelmed (so good) from holding back (i want) but know that this won′t be forever (you for all my days, but tonight...)
i can′t stay here you can′t ask me just so you would know
