After all this time it turns out you don’t know me very well
At least not enough to work it out
And not enough to tell that I would never try to hurt you
And still you don’t believe
And I’m stuck picking up the pieces
And you don’t know what it means

I never thought it’d come to this
Watching you play the victim
And so you say that you don’t care
And poorly hide…

Well, you must have known I’d find out
I’d find out what you said
That’s the reason why you said it
Let it through your head that all your words expose your weakness
The real you inside
So you try to be aggressive when you want to run and hide

I never thought it’d come to this
Watching you play the victim
And so you say that you don’t care
And poorly hide the problem

Running in circles cause I found out
Making it look like I brought you down
It’s not a game when my name is in doubt
You’ll never know what it’s all about

I never thought it’d come to this
And so you say that you don’t care

After all this time it turns out you don’t know me very well
At least not enough to work it out
And not enough to tell that I would never try to hurt you
And still you don’t believe
And I’m stuck picking up the pieces
And you don’t know what it means

I never thought it’d come to this
Watching you play the victim
And so you say that you don’t care
And poorly hide…

Nothing more than presence is required
And my patience has expired
In terms beyond desire, I’m wanting it all

You feel the need to relate to me and I don’t think you’re prepared to see it my way
You feel the need to relate to me and I don’t think you’re prepared to see it my way

I’ve lost my will to question
Don’t care if there’s a reason
No interest in perfection
by the way, emotional transactions resulting in subtraction are more than just a factor
(I’m wide awake when I dream at night)

You feel the need to relate to me and I don’t think you’re prepared to see it my way
You feel the need to relate to me and I don’t think you’re prepared to see it my way
(I try so hard to be a personality that never has to turn to hate)

So, tell me how it feels to be afraid
And tell me how it feels to be alone
Tell me how it feels to be alive
I’ll tell you how it feels to be afraid of life alone.

You feel the need to relate to me and I don’t think you’re prepared to see it my way
You feel the need to relate to me and I don’t think you’re prepared to see it my way

If you can, take me there
Then I’ll try to show you what it is that means so much to me
I don’t care if you think that I’m too overwhelmed
To realize we’re making memories

Like waves come crashing over
In this heart of mine
You are a part of me

Take a rest
let me tell you how I want to know you
if anything, I’m a fool for your mystique
I don’t care if they told you how I think too much to save myself some hard earned dignity

Like waves come crashing over
In this heart of mine
You are a part of me

In this heart of mine…

Like waves come crashing over
In this heart of mine
You are a part of me

In this heart of mine
Like waves come crashing over, yeah
In this heart of mine
You are a part of me

Invisible hands leave fingerprints on everything, everything
All around the world is asleep beneath a blanket, covering
Keeping warm causing us to follow a dog that finds a use for juggling
I think something’s wrong with the man who volunteered for challenger

I’m watching the world burn down
I find it revealing
I’m watching it all till now

Turn off the lights and if there’s no one watching you, go ahead, make yourself
An ant in the yard has little chance of ruining, ruining daddy’s garden
Speaking of dreams, I’ve had a few where I was kind
And I felt what it’s like to suffer the fate of modern eyes, lead poisoning
Now that you’re grown and on your own, you’ll never see what it is that makes you surface
Come up for air and find a friend on dying breaths, reaching out, apologizing
“Look what I’ve done”
I’ll never hear the end of this
“Look what I’ve done”
I’ll never hear the end of this

I’m watching the world burn down
I find it revealing
I’m watching it all till now

We never know how alone we are

I’m losing ground where it can’t be seen
And it hurts inside when they’ve left me cold and clean
And I cannot stop it
It won’t happen to me
That’s how I used to think
Now my words have caught me

Lie to me
Say that it’s ok
Tell me this will go away
Lie to me
Say that it’s ok
Tell me this will go away

You don’t see how this affects my dream
Of the perfect day when they’ve left me cold and clean
And I cannot stop it
Oh, it won’t happen to me
That’s how I used to think
Now my words have caught me

Lie to me
Say that it’s ok
Tell me this will go away
Lie to me
Say that it’s ok
Nothing is impossible

I think I’m gonna fake my death today
A new excuse for fitting in
Call it choosing poisons
A fear so deep I can’t reveal

No one’s gonna find us there
If they do, then I don’t care
(So how is it loneliness is afraid of the dark)
My star

I’ll take you up on all your threats today
Although I don’t know who you are
Words are inexpensive
That’s all I’ve learned, I’ve learned so far

No one’s gonna find us there
When if they do, then I don’t care
(So how is it loneliness is afraid of the dark)
My star

I know this sounds impossible to you
You’re not afraid of the dark
As my star, you are
It’s not impossible to me

No one’s gonna find us there
And if they do, then I don’t care
(So how is it loneliness is afraid of the dark)
My star you are

Well, the things you want to take with you I see in your face
And the things you left behind are quickly replaced
A picture may be worth a thousand words to some but only one for me
Tonight is like the night I told you everything and anything
You know
But the air’s a little cleaner now, and the cigarettes I quit

I liked the way we were
I held you in my arms
You were safe with me and we would have a good life

So, now I guess there’s nothing left to do and not much to say
And the radio is so useless from the shit that they play
It seems it’s been a little while since smiles were draped across your face
Somehow I think I took for granted that your never gonna change, woah no
I guess this is the time and place for anything

I liked the way we were
I held you in my arms
You were safe with me and we would have a good life

I liked the way we were
I held you in my arms
I whispered in your ear that we would have a good life

You’re finding this all so hard to believe
And finding you can’t find this part of me
You’ve painted my portrait by assuming the rest
You’ve past over the worst and forgotten the best
There are no excuses you can have for free

You’ll be buried if you dig to deep
I don’t want you lost inside of me
I am not a secret (secret)
Although my secrets are hiding away
I’ll tell you a secret
If you can keep it, we’ll be on our way

Somewhere inside you, that’s where I’ll be

When all of your efforts won’t figure it out
There are no equations for plotting your route
You’ll continue to struggle for answers inside your reach

You’ll be buried if you dig to deep
I don’t want you lost inside of me
I am not a secret (secret)
Although my secrets are hiding away
I’ll give you a secret (secret)
If you can keep it, we’ll be on our way

I’ll give you a secret

I’m sending out a shockwave
And I hope you feel it where you know
I’m shining like the sun now
In your arms is where my favorite place was
Now I think since the union’s broken I will try to find it somewhere else

I confess that I’ll never let you in my heart
When I don’t know so much about me and it doesn’t matter who you are
I confess that I’ll never let you in my heart
When I don’t know so much about me and it doesn’t matter who you are

You know you want to feel it
You know you want to tell them it’s your own, your own
When you think you’ve made it, ask yourself if you’re alright alone

I confess that I’ll never let you in my heart
When I don’t know so much about me and it doesn’t matter who you are
I confess that I’ll never let you in my heart
When I don’t know so much about me and it doesn’t matter who you are

I confess that I’ll never let you in my heart
When I don’t know so much about me and it doesn’t matter who you are
I confess that I’ll never let you in my heart
When I don’t know so much about me and it doesn’t matter who you are

Somehow I’m not afraid
For reasons I can’t see
Somehow you’re safe with me
When for once, I wouldn’t have it any other way
So for the first time I’ll be happy
Yes, I am so truly happy
Yes you are
And there’s nothing in this world or in your mind that I would let take it away

None of this is anything if you can’t understand me
If you don’t think it’s worth it then please turn away
None of this is anything if you can’t understand me
If you don’t think it’s worth it then please turn away

Nothing in your way
Nothing in your way

The perfect synergy
You staying here with me
Beneath reality
When for once, I wouldn’t have it any other way
You’ve perfected perfection to a tee, you

None of this is anything if you can’t understand me
If you don’t think it’s worth it then please turn away
None of this is anything if you can’t understand me
If you don’t think it’s worth it then…

The perfect synergy
You staying here with me
Beneath reality

Save me one more blue and white day
Give my eyes to see you smile
Save me one more blue and white

Foster feelings for all of you?
At rest like the pride of ancient civilization

Feel like these feelings are doomed
Feel like these feelings are doomed
Feel like there ain’t enough room for
Feel like there ain’t enough room

Miss you like school and when they bury
Miss you more then now, good luck

Feel like these feelings are doomed
Feel like these feelings are doomed
Feel like there ain’t enough room for
Feel like there ain’t enough room

You etched eternal love in tree bark
And they finally drained the pool
I can’t blame him for feeling like a fool

You etched eternal love in tree bark
And they finally drained the pool
I can’t blame him for feeling like a fool

You etched eternal love in tree bark
You etched eternal love in me
You etched eternal love in tree bark

Silence spilled your guts
Fences turn to dust
Purpose outlived shine
Game’s already mine

Buy me some time
I hope she’s still waiting
This won’t take long
I know what you’re thinking
That I can fly
Buy me some time
I hope she’s still waiting

Your first name’s a lie
You’re hollow inside
You’re afraid to cry
You’re ashamed, goodbye

Buy me some time
I hope she’s still waiting
This won’t take long
I know what you’re thinking
That I can fly
Buy me some time
I hope she’s still waiting

Waiting…
Waiting…
Waiting…
Waiting…
Waiting…
Waiting…
Waiting…

You soothe me
Blood flow up my spine
Heat outside cools my mind
I want to float on you, forever
Through no matter
Let the new day pass us by
Because I want to stay along for the ride

Swim across the sky
So Atlantic black and green
Distant red rust of the passing ships
Counterweights the sun and the day has seemed to me
Meet its watershed and surrenders
The stratosphere where the stars live tumbles down
Stumbles toward Earth
Like you do, and you do too
Black waves unphased by a metamorphosis hurl white crests toward the shore
The sounds of war like water seamless
Driving till the morning

All this time I’ve been hesitating
No much longer it’s so frustrating
Try to pull a breath down in the dark
If it seems like it’s here and it smells like it’s here
I don’t want to find out otherwise

The stratosphere where the stars live tumbles down
It stumbles toward Earth
Keep me here for days
Keep me in a daze
The hum of the factory keeps me in a daydream

All this time I’ve been hesitating
No much longer it’s so frustrating
Try to pull a breath down in the dark
If it seems like it’s here and it smells like it’s here
I don’t want to find out otherwise

Perfectly, not a hair is out of place
Helps me sleep at night
Perfectly, not a hair is out of place
Bigger than the dry land

Eyes keeping closed till it’s over
Honing my skill in disaster
Hating, waiting
Never stood a chance
Some knots never come undone, the cord just frays away
Never stood a chance

You know, you’ve got the best of me
And I give you a wish for best of luck
But that won’t get us out of here
And it doesn’t even get us near

I pull you under
I pull you under with me
I pull you under

Fall from your grace unobstructed
Surrender to understanding
Hating, waiting
Never stood a chance
Failure built by good intentions placed you in the way
Hating, waiting
Never stood a chance

You know, you’ve got the best of me
And I give you a wish for best of luck
But that won’t get us out of here
And it wont make it stop

I pull you under
I pull you under with me
Under…

I feel so excluded
All this time I knew this wouldn’t be the way that I had dreamed
Or so it seems

There’s no place for me
I don’t belong with you or them
But still I try to force a smile, meanwhile I’m not ok

I wish I could find someone who’s shape could carry me inside
Go for a ride
Smoke stained walls hold good intentions
All the while no mention of the way I wanted us to be
You and me

I guess another bridge is burned
But I know you only smile when my back is turned
I guess another bridge is burned
But I know you only smile when my back is turned

Staring at the phone won’t make it ring
And though I know your number like my name
I don’t think I can do it
If you were here I’d tell you everything
I’d never say a word
It doesn’t matter anyway, anymore

I guess another bridge is burned
But I know you only smile when my back is turned
I guess another bridge is burned
But I know you only smile when my back is turned

So now I know
So now I know
Now I know
Now I know

I guess another bridge is burned
But I know you only smile when my back is turned
I guess another bridge is burned
But I know you only smile when my back is turned
I guess another bridge is burned…
