You love me for all the wrong reasons (All the wrong reasons, all the wrong reasons) There's nothing but pain left here, I know What's killing me is that I'm killing you Three years of torment and torturous love Stained with tears and mistrust, enough is enough I can't hold you any longer in this hell I'm in 'Cause your heart is too weak for me to break it again All the mistakes that I've made, you forgave What the fuck? You shouldn't have stayed You'd always said, "There's so much love in you" I can't believe that you can't see that You loved me for all the wrong reasons I'm not the same as I used to be There's nothing but pain left here, I know What's killing me is that I'm killing you Do you remember the beginning? Heartbeats one and the same? Living's smitten in Texas, burning bright as a flame So young and in love, no care what anyone said Till my soul grew cold and my heart turned dead What went so wrong with me? Why did I break this? Why was I so blind and fucking dumb to see? That we were perfect till I turned around and gave in to debauchery? This is your chance to escape this, my goodbye with a last kiss Yeah, and I know deep down you know that You loved me for all the wrong reasons I'm not the same as I used to be There's nothing but pain left here, I know What's killing me is that I'm killing you You loved me for all the wrong reasons I'm not the same as I used to be There's nothing but pain left here, I know What's killing me is that I'm killing you What's killing me (It's killing me, it's killing me) Is that I'm killing you What's killing me (It's killing me, it's killing me) Is that I'm killing you

Incompetent son of a bitch, keep your tongue tight Cut your losses you're on thin ice, tread light Don't wanna listen to your "he said, she said" shit Keep your mouth shut and listen, motherfucker I can't stand this, it was never meant to be so hard Satisfaction was supposed to come and ease my heart I don't feel this anymore, I need to get away All the love in my heart can't even find a way These words, they fall off my tongue like a poison I hope they kill you all, I hope I never see your faces again I see your faces again, yeah I wanna watch the whole world I wanna watch the whole world Burn down, burn down I wanna watch the world burn I wanna watch the whole world Burn down, burn down I won't pretend I'm not disgusted with everything you are I won't deny that I'm revolted by everything you say you stand for Where do I go? What do I say? Where do I draw the line? Can I move on? Can I let go before I lose my mind? Am I alone after everything we've suffered through? Feels though what once was us has dwindled down to me and you I wanna watch the whole world I wanna watch the whole world Burn down, burn down I wanna watch the whole world I wanna watch the whole world Burn down, burn down These words, they fall off my tongue like a poison I hope they kill you all, I hope I never see your faces again I see your faces again, yeah I wanna watch the whole world I wanna watch the whole world Burn down, burn down I wanna watch the world burn I wanna watch the whole world Burn down, burn down (Burn down, burn down) (I wanna watch the world burn) (I wanna watch the whole world) (Burn down, burn down) (I wanna watch the world burn) (I wanna watch the whole world) (Burn down, burn down)

Will you believe in me? Will you believe? We can make a difference here Just close your eyes and take this hand, my dear Just hold your breath and let me dry your tears All you've got to do is believe We can make a difference here Just close your eyes and take this hand, my dear Just hold your breath and let me dry your tears All you've got to do is believe You've got to believe!

Deep in the shadows, I'm fighting a battle The creature wants me screaming, screaming I think I'm losing, tired of choosing, I'm slipping down I can't stop screaming, screaming I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too I can't just turn to the menace I've clung to The creature wants me screaming, screaming I can't determine, I'm sure that it's hell-bent on breaking out And hearing you screaming, screaming I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too I can't hold it back I can't hold back I can't hold back Oh, yeah! So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from you If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too! So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from you If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do There's a creature inside of you too

Street signs, so many street signs, pass me by every night And I know tomorrow I won't recognise the world Home bound, but I want to be home now Two more months of empty faces Standing there screaming up at me and I don't know why I wanna go home, I wanna sleep in my own bed I want a normal life again, is this the end, is this the end? No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road All I know is the road Save me, can anyone save me? I don't know who I am anymore This was supposed to be the dream You don't see the pain in my eyes? You don't hear the pain in my words? I'm just stuck here cold and alone with no one beside me And I want to go home I wanna go home, I wanna sleep in my own bed I want a normal life again, is this the end, is this the end? No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road All I know is the road And you wonder why I'm out of my mind? And you wonder why I'm out of my mind? I wanna go home, I wanna sleep in my own bed I want a normal life again, is this the end, is this the end? I wanna go home, I wanna sleep in my own bed I want a normal life again, is this the end, is this the end? No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road All I know is the road

This isn't me anymore I need something to believe in This isn't me anymore I need something to believe in If you think you've seen the last of me The flat line has come and gone, but won't take me away I'm tortured By this dream I've manufactured War torn From the inside out but it makes me stronger I'm not the person you see When you look into these eyes I've got a reason To believe in something more I know there's something more I've heard it all before But I won't sing my last song until I'm flat out on the floor I've longed for so much more I want to be the best that I can be The best that I can be I'm sick and tired of being admired I don't deserve this pedestal you've put me on, no All I want is to be proud of who I am I brought this hell upon myself Now I got to see it through until the end

This is hell for me to say But I think it’s time we said “Enough’s, enough” Turn around and waltz away You became my friend They’ll never cause you pain again We can't surrender We won't surrender Though we'd hate to run away We can't run away from them all We can't surrender We won't surrender They'll bleed for what they've Done to us They shut us out for long enough In the dark I want to watch this Listen, can’t you hear them screaming? They’re buried in the walls Now they’re never leaving They can never hurt us again Peeling the scab From each and every Last one of them Screeching A moment around My silence Blood, blood, blood, blood Blood is seeping From the fingers That are wrapped Around my arm Silent Braced myself a lifetime This is what I’ve Been waiting for Listen, can’t you hear them screaming? They’re buried in the walls Now they’re never leaving They can never hurt us again They’re dead, they’re dead They’re dead just like I dreamed of Sleeping softly—never to awaken Dead, they’re dead They’re gone into the shadows Never to be seen again
