You had your chance,
To find what you were looking for
You had big plans,
Now you’re left with nothing at all
I wish there was a way that you could change,
All of the decisions that you have made,
'cause you haven’t been the same,
Oh no, you haven’t been the same
You’re digging yourself under,
(Further and further),
Doesn’t it make you wonder
(Do you really deserve it?)
How did it come to this,
(How did you get so far,)
Away from the things that made you who you are?
You’re too smart for your own damn good
So you’re not smiling like you should be
'cause you never understood the
The reasons why you’re so empty
Someone help me see where I went wrong,
Someone help me learn to change,
Where has all my time gone?
I’ve wasted all my days
You’re digging yourself under,
(Further and further),
Doesn’t it make you wonder
(Do you really deserve it?)
How did it come to this,
(How did you get so far,)
Away from the things that made you who you are?
If you knew how much this meant to me,
(Would you still be stuck? A walking tragedy)
I see you drag around your broken bones,
(I hope you know this was a place that you called home)

I must have spent the last six months swallowing quicksand,
'cause i can't shake this sinking feeling,
And I just can't bare to stand,
One of these days, i'll think myself into an early grave,
All I seem to do is lie awake,
To think of things i wish that i could change,
They tell me not to worry,
This is something time will fix,
But as I stare at the clock hands,
They won't stop playing tricks,
It's like everything, everyone, has got it easier than I do,
But sooner or later, I'll realise that's not true,
'cause all i need is you,
Now and then, this feels easy,
Like I can practice what i preach,
But sometimes all I can think,
Is 'fuck the world, i'll deal with this next week',
But next week was like a year ago
And i'm still stuck here in the cheap seats,
While everyone i know, is living life in the front row,
They tell me not to worry,
This is something time will fix,
But as I stare at the clock hands,
They won't stop playing tricks,
It's like everything, everyone, has got it easier than I do,
But sooner or later, I'll realise that's not true,
'cause all i need is you,

Don't try to shut me out this time,
(You know i'm the one with all the answers),
And if you swallow your pride,
(Maybe you'll see what really matters)
So keep telling yourself that you'll make it through,
And i'll keep telling myself,
(There's nothing more that I can do),
Everyone sins,
It's just a matter of who hides it best,
You wear your heart on your sleeve,
I keep mine close to my chest,
(And everyone knows,
What you do when my back is turned,
You'd do well not to hang too close
under the bridge you've burned)
It's everybody's business,
Even though its no ones fault but your own.
(So now we've got a crowd to see if you cast the first stone.)
You've been lying through your teeth
(I've been lying awake at night)
You've been lying through your teeth
(I've been lying awake at night)

Where My Heart Is

Wake up, I swear,
Dreams are much better when you are here.
Hands up, I swear,
Nightmares keep calling and I can't help falling down
Take me right there;
I'll give my heart to you
I'll be right there;
Spilling my guts....
I’m trying to find where my home is,
‘Cause I know my heart will be there too,
And I’m just trying to get to you,
Even if it’s the last thing that I do,
I don’t wanna die wondering why,
I left my dreams on your back porch,
I don’t wanna roam lost anymore,
When I could be knocking at your door.
Tonight,
I'll sit and wait for the time to arrive
When I call you,
I'll try to pick myself up its the only thing that I can do
Take me right there;
I'll give my heart to you
I'll be right there;
Spilling my guts....
I’m trying to find where my home is,
‘Cause I know my heart will be there too,
And I’m just trying to get to you,
Even if it’s the last thing that I do,
I don’t wanna die wondering why,
I left my dreams on your back porch,
I don’t wanna roam lost anymore,
When I could be knocking at your door.

Test The Waters

So who do you think you are,
To let this fall apart,
And convince me of your best intentions?
My posture’s wavering,
From carrying this burden everywhere,
Everywhere I go.
Everywhere, I go!
Just the thought of someone new,
Holding onto you,
Is slowly breaking me, it's breaking me down.
Test the waters of love before,
You sink down to the ocean floor,
And you’re making no, making no sound.
I tried to keep my head in tact,
'cause there’s no turning back from here,
I know you have the worst intentions,
Now my mind is caving in,
From thinking of this burden that I carry,
Carry on my own.
I carry on, my own!
Just the thought of someone new,
Holding onto you,
Is slowly breaking me, it's breaking me down.
Test the waters of love before,
You sink down to the ocean floor,
And you’re making no, making no sound.
So who do you think you are?
You let this fall apart,
So who do you think you are?
You let this fall apart.
Who do you think you are?
You let this fall apart.
Just the thought of someone new,
Holding onto you,
Is slowly breaking me, it's breaking me down.
Test the waters of love before,
You sink down to the ocean floor,
And you’re making no, making no sound.
I should have tested the waters more,
'cause I’m down at the ocean floor,
And I hope you’re happy,
And I hope you’re happy now.

Rainy Weather

The winter's coming and I've been searching for something,
To take me away or keep me warm on the days like this,
When the rainy weather reflects everything I feel and,
The sight of the dark clouds take away the strength I have left to stand
Some people thrive when they are up against the ropes,
But there are days where I think I'd rather get knocked out
'Cause we just need a reason to pick ourselves up for another round,
But it's easier said than done when my face is buried in the ground,
So I’ll turn away from this window,
but the raindrops stain my vision,
I look in the mirror and I just know, this definitely isn’t,
Who I thought I’d be, can I start again?
Sometimes I wish this didn’t mean so much to me
But I think it’ll save me in the end,
I think it’s one of those things where I want to change,
but don’t care enough to try,
I’d rather let the rain dampen all my spirits
I know it’s not good enough,
this’ll see me kiss all happiness goodbye,
After all the lectures I’d give on not giving up,
I think it’s time I get mine,
So I’ll turn away from this window, but the raindrops stain my vision,
I look in the mirror and I just know, this definitely isn’t,
Who I thought I’d be, can I start again?
Sometimes I wish this didn’t mean so much to me,
But I think it’ll save me in the end,
