Used to live my life for you
Until my soul got tired
Did all I was supposed to do
I could fool a liar
Pre-chorus
Threw it all away
Through it all to find redemption
Gave it all away
Gave it all to who would listen
That's the price I paid
For being different
And I walk this road alone
That's the price I paid
For being different
I can call this life my own
Used to be a part of you
Until that part was taken
I used to see your point of view
Until my faith was shaken
Running in the sun to seek what I'll find
Crossing your path that intersects mine
Trapped in a scene that only seems real
Confronted by dreams that I can now feel
My fronts have all failed and been stripped away
We all look the same at the end of the day
Given up once I'll take it back twice
Will it ever cease this is my flight
Slow me down to breathe
Never will I break this fate could not faze me
Never could I shake the things that you gave me
My heart does not see
Concrete burns and skies will come down
But nothing can take the focus I've found
I used to think this was perfect, and wish that it was never ending
But those days are gone forever. It's something I'm not missing
There's a force there's a voice, in my head
Telling me to think about the times that you were cruel and mean
I don't care if you walk away I'm here to stay and you need to hear
Chorus
You make me sick, but I love what we're doing here
You make me sick, and I can't be the only one
I have to take advantage before the moment passes by
It's so hard to manage the ups and downs of your life
Someone help, someone speak before I start to scream out, anything to break the silence
You're holding me back confined by doubt
Chorus
Cause I need you, cause I need you here with me
When it falls through and I'm down upon my knees
There's a force there's a voice in my head telling me to
Think about everything last time I believed now I realize
I know you'll be there
To see the tables turning
Wake up tomorrow
And watch the bridges burning
Pre-chorus
I can see
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel
I can feel it in my mind
I don't care
I don't care if you realize
What you see
What you see in my eyes
Chorus
I'm over me being under you
I'm breaking free I'm breaking through
I've overcome all I'm underneath
I can finally stand
I can finally breathe
Remember when we
First had the thought of living
A perfect picture
But I did all the giving
Gave up my passions
To try to make you happy
The joke is over
And I'll do all the laughing
Now everything inside my life's become a mystery
And all the things that I've held dear have lost reality
I cannot go I do not know if you are really here
Just let me know
I need a friend to depend on
I need so much more
Another reason to live my life is knocking on my door
I need to know if I can go
All the way down and back again
I need to know if I can take another leap of faith today
Someone tell me so I can figure it out
Something's wrong nothing's right
My life is filled with doubt
Lost the only real thing I've ever known
Lost it all and now my hope is gone
Here I lay in candlelight
I'm drenched in shadows
I need a way to get it right
I lost my halo
All the sins for which I am to blame
Closing in?I've got to get away
Chorus
I'm going crazy
Just thinking about the way
I've missed you lately
And I just have to say
I know you're waiting
But I would never change
I would never change
Either way you try to tame this growing fire
You couldn't take away the pain of my desire
All the ways you crept into my head
Closing in are the last words that you said
Chorus
Bridge
So Far Away, so far away
I miss your voice, I miss your taste
My chest feels hollow
Another time, another place
And I can't let go
All the sins for which I am to blame
Closing in I got to get away
I was supposed to be an image of your soul (every yesterday)
But I was born of another blinded faith (starting to push away)
Every fiber of my frame is like a flooded vein
I got it all to gain if I keep letting it flow
Never, not been on my own
Never let this truth be shown not afraid to be alone and I'm just letting you know
Chorus
Don't tell me what's right or wrong there's two sides to every story
Why don't we just get along, the age that separates our lives
Look at me now because I'm living what's been lost (long before my time)
Head to head and even I found my cure (starting to push away)
Every cell that binds that my soul is like a story told
The ending won't unfold till I've done all that I can
I'm ripping time apart, to get another start
Life made into an art, a painting of a man with a chance
Chorus
I'm never gonna fall down. I'm never gonna fall down and break.
Stuck inside these same four walls I've seen for sixteen years
I'm calling out and no one hears nothing is as it appears
Time is gonna pass me by the days are getting short
My patience is wearing thin waiting for this to begin
Locked inside my cage
Chorus
Would you be there to let me out
I can't take anymore
Just let me out
I can't take anymore
Choking on my selfish pride it's hard to swallow down
I swear I'd turn my life around if I could get out of this town
Every sacrifice I've made to help me get this far
I'm not about to turn away I don't care how long it takes
For all the times that I've done wrong you've paid it all back twice to me
Why don't we just get along this life was built on unity
Pre-chorus
Open up you won't change you'll only stay.
Cause you won't change (you'll never change) and I won't stay (I can't stay)
Chorus
It's just another lie to make me believe
It's just another lie to make me believe in you
I've done all that I can do to resurrect your hopeless point of view
I can't stand to see your face I can't stand to watch this got to waste
Pre-chorus
Chorus
It's just another lie to make me believe. I see you deceive to get what you need.
Honestly I could never understand why people wear a mask to cover up the inside.
In the end it's you and your reflection, fuck this I'm sick of this deception.
You made me believe I made you believe. Now you can see.
Staring at an empty cup of understanding
Maybe you could fill it up and tell me why you left
I don't want to be alone in this ocean
Of people passing by rushing toward the end
And I can see your soft reflection like a ghost in the mirror
And I would do whatever I could for a chance to have you here
Chorus
And be home again
Now that you're gone I can see that I was wrong
Back in your arms I feel home again
Now that you're gone I can see I was wrong
Back in your arms again
Again
Even as the clouds roll by I swear they mock me
Cause every one that fills the sky turns into your face
Maybe it was heaven's fault they lost an angel
I couldn't hold on and I let her get away
And I can see your soft reflection like a ghost in the mirror
And I would do whatever it could for a chance to have you here
