Watch me, don’t follow me! I’m failing my family Becoming a tragedy! You can't stop this by any means! I won't give an apology! So watch me build tolerance! I don’t need any deliverance! As I recall it was unbearable It’s all in my head We’ve already lost a significant amount of time You know I couldn’t fake this if I tried (I couldn’t fake this if I tried!) I realize that the single life, is not the average alibi! We’ve all been ready for the lonely life This is tearing me apart! Maybe it's not for me, maybe someone else should be Tearing themselves apart! Then again maybe I’m right where I’m supposed to be! They always say that the only way Is to promise yourself to stay (There’s so many of you that come to watch me die) They always say that we have to be (What they’re waiting for?) But you’re letting it all go by We’ve already lost a significant amount of time You know I couldn’t fake this if I tried (I couldn’t fake this if I tried!) I realize that the single life, is not the average alibi! We’ve all been ready for the lonely life (Watch me, don’t follow me!) Our lives have been running out And we’re fine with where we’re heading now It's running out!

Her bones are buried in the backyard along with my integrity I tested your honor you questioned my faith Now look where you are you're right where you'll stay It's time for you to know that I'm loathing You'll never see me again I can see your eyes have been wandering slowly Do you have any last words? Oh no I can see you've been lying through your teeth Who's breathing now? I hope you are ready to leave this place cause you are going either way We've fallen far too distant All you were good for was everything but I guess that wasn't enough to keep you alive I'm horrified by my potential I am so capable of terrible things I really hate goodbyes There's no way that I could just let it slide I did this to you I did this to you And all this time I never knew regret is for you For you Oh no I can see that you have been lying through your teeth Who's breathing now? I hope you are ready to leave this place cause you are going either way We've fallen far too distant I'm ready to forget I'm ready to forget I'm ready to forget you

Let's get this straight The moment that you met me was your biggest mistake One you'll never forget I can't imagine never meeting you and knowing you Life without consequence is no life at all The past few months I've done some terrible things But you were my worst, you are my biggest mistake You are the only one that's changing me From what is in my heart You had to know, you had to know I never want to see you again You want forgiveness then go find religion This is my finest hour Everybody's gone at last I can't stop You are the only one that's changing me From what is in my heart I can't fix everything You're leaving me no choice at all Today is lost ... is lost ... is lost... Taking back all the words that you've said All the things that you've done It will not change a thing We're all apart of this We can't make it alone And all the seas have been pulling what's left to the bottom Creating a place for the lonely And all the seas are falling over my head Washing me back to the beginning I shouldn't have failed to make a change within you There's a reason why the evil won't prevail I know you know! It's been a long time coming You know you shouldn't be testing me, be testing me It's been a long time coming You know you shouldn't be testing me, be testing me You're honestly, you're honestly thought that I could change this time You shouldn't be testing me!) You're honestly, you're honestly thought I could change this time (You shouldn't be testing me!) It's been a long time coming (Taking back all the words that you've said!) You know you shouldn't be testing me, be testing me (All the things that you've done! It will not change a thing!) It's been a long time coming (Taking back all the words that you've said!) You know you shouldn't be testing me, be testing me (All the things that you've done! It will not change a thing!)

So you think that I Should I be a man free of sin? I've done enough to prove That I am not capable of this! I'm not claiming that I'm all that bad But I'm not surprised I've created distance from my past Three-Hundred-And-Sixty-Five days ago! I was a different man! Watch my world caught on fire There has been a slight change of plan! More liquor was poured Found out love is for whores! White powder, allowed bad ideas to form! All of this is consequence This year could be my last Maybe I am crazy (How about a taste of my own private hell?) But either way I am Okay, I'm alive today (One day you'll know the pain I feel!) But it won't take away this pain One day I'm expecting to pay for The things I've done in this life I've tried to take my time But it never turns out right I know it's just a matter of time If only all of you Could see into my mind Then you would probably find A boy who's barely clinging to life Maybe I am crazy (I bought the ticket and I took the ride!) But either way I am Okay, I'm alive today (I wouldn't trade it for anyone's life!) But it won't take away this pain

The rage subsides between these two I see that you don't belong to me It seems to me the stage is falling through Onto you And if you let me go I'll be used, I'll be used And I won't let them ever become what you What you are It's happening again! Only different now! So much to say, so little time! Whatever happens next is in your hands! The only thing left to do is stay alive! And if you promise that you'll help me I will do just that! When it's over It won't be the end If I see this through We can stop and strand (Go back!) You were never quite prepared For this from the start We'll save this for later Just keep breathing All you have is a stage for everyone to know What's happened to you What's happened to you? I'm wearing thin My mind is failing me now! I know it's my own fault For reasons I can't tell you how! I don't need your criticism! You don't need to speak out loud! I've got everything I need here So shut your mouth! When it's over It won't be the end If I see this through We can stop and strand (Go back!) You were never quite prepared For this from the start We'll save this for later Just keep breathing I can't, I really can't say much about you!

Oh, you want to know what happened to me? I've made a few mistakes Something needs to change Oh, you want to know what happened to me? I'm better off this way Things are falling into place Yeah, that's right I'm gonna be the one who takes you when you die! Yeah right, I am satisfied without being born twice! You know you're Wasting time trading life for lies to discover I mean this is eternity! In this life there's only wrong and right That's for you to decide You better make up your mind! Oh, you want to know what happened to me? I've made a few mistakes Something needs to change Oh, you want to know what happened to me? I'm better off this way Things are falling into place If you are only trying to make me plead Did you ever stop wondering, wondering? If I can't change your mind, I'll just disconnect mine! Yeah, that's right I am his only son The one who has to die Yeah right, the only way I'll go to heaven is in this disguise You know you're Wasting time trading life for lies to discover (What's left of you won't matter in the end) I mean this is eternity! In this life there's only wrong and right So don't forget you have a choice!

It’s time to make your mark! Now listen up, I’m not your counselor I’m not your father who held you back When you were ready to move on My life is based on someone else's lie! I am no role model! I alone found a way inside Leave it alone so you save your pride I know what is hidden in your eyes It’s terrible knowing how to take your soul I hope that when you’re dreaming You see me and you’re screaming! Now go tell everyone you know I’m not quite finished yet! And you know you’re breathing the first sighs of a lonely life How do you sleep at night? (How do you sleep at night knowing that I’m coming for you?) This time It’s only right to teach you a lesson (One day you’ll wake up to find me waiting) I alone found a way inside Leave it alone so you save your pride I know what is hidden in your eyes It’s terrible knowing how to take your soul I alone found a way inside Leave it alone so you save your pride

You told me that it wasn't personal I traded everything for this and now it's gone Where is this coming from? Once more you're recovering from all the things you've done I'm strong enough to breathe the air into my lungs I saw this coming, maybe this is right All I want is for you to remember me Not sure I've done enough In the end this is only a melody I guess that I will just Try my best to sleep And I'll wake up wondering... If anyone knows what is wrong, with what I have become? I'm strong enough to breathe the air into my lungs I saw this coming, maybe this is right (Feels like forever since we laid down I never imagined you to be the one to make feel like I've been falling through And maybe you just need some time Or maybe it's too late I realise that I was only pushing you away) I'm begging, I'm begging you I'm begging, I'm begging you If anyone knows what is wrong, with what I have become?

Who am I to say What is right and what is wrong? Like I know that it's okay! (It's okay!) So hear what you want to hear! If it's my words then I guess I will stay! (I will stay!) If not then I'll be on my way! Don't wait, just fake it I don't care where you were before It doesn't matter (It doesn't matter where you came from, or where you want to die!) All this time you should be feeling stronger but your not Speak your mind, don't be afraid! They can not tell you what to say! Don't let them get into your head! Just tell them this is what I said! Way down inside of us all Is something dark now let it out! Hope has lost the battle I bring your faith to life I'm calling you out to show you everybody Is laying their hearts on the line I don't know why I've been dying To know if anyone feels the same inside (Just let it out) I don't care where you were before It doesn't matter (It doesn't matter where you came from, or where you are today! All this time you should be feeling stronger but your not (Let it out! Let it out!) Just let it out! Just let it out!

I'm resting my eyes so I can see you clearly When I leave you shaking and barely breathing This sudden love, oh, so picture perfect Then I got to know you A dream come true Turns into a nightmare I can't believe That I thought you were the one But that head of yours has got to go That's why it came undone No more darlings, it's over It's time for you to go I'm sorry it ended But we both know Once everything is said and done You'll be my afterthought Cause I only want to see you Long enough to make you hurt (Long enough to make you hurt!) You can hold on You can you say it isn't so But tomorrow will be gone before you know Turn around, walk away, and never come back! Don't you dare ever think that I care for you I've got my friends and my family to get me through! I see that you're changing From the one I knew To the one I'm used to And I know you're changing From the one I know To the one I used! Once everything is said and done You'll be my afterthought Cause I only want to see you Long enough to make you hurt You can hold on You if you say it isn't so But tomorrow will be gone before you know

Just so you know if it were up to me I would be living the high life But for now I'm taking steps in the wrong direction just to get by So take it or leave it This one's for you, you know who you are Please leave well enough alone Just because I'm not smiling doesn't mean I'm about to go Don't pick me up I'm fine right where I am I'm going to leave this town tonight And fall asleep til the sun rise Cause I got to change my life What did this to you? I don't need to be told twice I'd be willing to give my life just to say goodbye What did this to you? Please leave well enough alone Just because I'm not smiling doesn't mean I'm about to go Don't pick me up I'm fine right where I am So many things could have made me this way I don't regret a single day This is what I was made for, was made for, was made for! Just like you did before me I will follow suit I plan on being everything you were to honor you I know you didn't live long I cannot promise I will to I'm saying everything I can as a tribute! I'm going to leave this town tonight And fall asleep til the sun rise Cause I've got to change my life What did this to you? I don't need to be told twice I'd be willing to give my life just to say goodbye What did this to you? I will carry on your legacy You made me who I am today I remember the first time I heard you it changed my life!

You're the only one who knows this Oh my god Lose control in spite of me You've already lost your place I won't follow until you tell me You'll be fine This is a disaster, who would have thought We'd end up here All this time wasted on other things We were meant for something greater But now we are ready for what comes later Clear the air before you go You can't even smile But at least we will know Our places within the limits of self control Feeling alive for the very first time I could die right now This is a declaration Just remember nothing is ever so bad That it could not be worse
