You're the one who always falls apart The one who plays the victim Working on your latest tragedy When you should want to fix it You don't understand and you won't listen Why do we do what we do? We do it to ourselves We hurt the ones we love The ones we love When, when will it end? We do it to ourselves We hurt the ones we love The ones we love I'm not the one you should be worried about You're so lost, you're so lost Why does nothing seem to get through to you? These are your problems, there's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do You don't understand it, you won't listen Why do we do what we do? We do it to ourselves We hurt the ones we love The ones we love When, when will it end? We do it to ourselves (To ourselves) Knowing your tears are make believe Like snowflakes in the summer It just doesn't add up, it just doesn't add up Like icicles in spring Wake up, wake up And see the truth I'm not like you Why do we do what we do? We do it to ourselves We hurt the ones we love The ones we love When, when will it end? We do it to ourselves We hurt the ones we love The ones we love Why do we do what we do? We do it to our Why do we do what we do? We do it to ourselves We do it to our

Look into my eyes Why the fuck did you think I'd just take it? All the things you said to break me, I faked it! All I have to say I don't know you, and you don't know what I've been through Not enough, they always told me I'm no one, I never will be They were wrong, don't ever listen They are wrong When everyone thinks "you've had enough!" It's your turn, you can't give in Just remember to shout "I won't give up" I won't give up Did you think I'd just lay down and die My rule's an eye for an eye I can't believe you thought I'd listen to you I've made mistakes but I'm no fool Not enough, they always told me I'm no one, I never will be They were wrong, don't ever listen They are wrong When everyone thinks "you've had enough!" It's your turn, you can't give in Just remember to shout "I won't give up" I won't give up! I know why You always feel weak, it's too hard to fight I see why But it's now or never, take back your life It's a fight, are you with me? Taking back our lives From the thieves who've robbed our minds It's a fight, I'm taking back what's rightfully mine It's a fight, no escape, no regrets I'm not giving up this time When everyone thinks "you've had enough!" It's your turn, you can't give in Just remember to shout "I won't give up" I won't give up! I know why You always feel weak, it's too hard to fight I see why But it's now or never, take back your life Take back your life!

We stand up tall Even in the dark Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all They can't hold us back Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all We will shine on To bring us back home (Woah-oh-oh) (Woah-oh-oh) (Woah-oh-oh) (Woah-oh-oh) Sometimes I think I don't belong I lose the words, can't find the song We all make a choice in life I pray that I'm wrong I can search the endless sky For a reason to survive We all get lost inside Our broken minds We stand up tall Even in the dark Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all They can't hold us back Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all We will shine on To bring us back home Rise above the veil of fear Let them see your passion clear We all have voices It's time to be heard Wake up Shine on This life is ours We stand up tall Even in the dark Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all They can't hold us back Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all We will shine on To bring us back home To bring us back home To bring us back home Bring us back home We will keep shining on We will keep shining on We stand up tall Even in the dark Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all They can't hold us back Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all We will shine on (We will shine on) We will shine on To bring us back home (Woah-oh-oh) (Woah-oh-oh) To bring us back home (Woah-oh-oh) (Woah-oh-oh) To bring us back home

They never said that it would be easy To find another soul that wasn't empty Well I know now how hard it can be To give and give, not receive Never guessing I'd have all the answers I lost my mind chasing after her This is not what the fortune teller said This can't be how it's supposed to be Here I am now Am I all alone? And I can't feel you now Am I on my own? Am I on my own? Here I am now Am I all alone? And I can't feel you now Am I on my own? Am I on my own? Why does it always have to end this way? History repeats and I just stay the same The closer and closer I get The more and more I choose to forget I'm buried deep in this dream we conceived Problematic, romantics, I'm lost you see It's a difference of opinion, we think we know The best way not to feel is to stay alone Here I am now Am I all alone? And I can't feel you now Am I on my own? Am I on my own? Here I am now Am I all alone? And I can't feel you now Am I on my own? Separating what I feel from what I know The heart feels what it feels, and then it slows Taking prisoners but the head doesn't know Self-destruction of our sanity You'll get what you deserve But never what you need What do we need? Here I am now Am I all alone? And I can't feel you now Am I on my own? But I know I'm better this way I know I'm better this way I'm better this way

So you think you can get rid of me? I'll take your place at the head of this dynasty I am, I am the reason you're alive You're too quick to forget who put you here You need to look back and see How you treated me, how you treated me When you bite off the hand that feeds You'll live without what you truly need Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long Have you had enough of me? You act like I'm something you can throw away You need to look back and see How you treated me, how you treated me When you bite off the hand that feeds You'll live without what you truly need Sacrificing everything (Any moment this could all be gone) But does it even mean anything (Without respect it won't be long) I am the reason you can't run away I am the reason you can't escape Give up you're mine You're terrible inside I am the reason you're alive I am the reason you're alive (You need to look back and see, how you treated me) How you treated me! You need to look back and see How you treated me, how you treated me When you bite off the hand that feeds You'll live without what you truly need Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything

We can't keep running in circles Have we lost our minds? We can't keep running in circles Have we lost our mind? We search for meaning that we can't find (waiting all our lives) We look for answers inside (Are we all alone?) It's all a lie! (What am I doing here? What am I doing here?) There's no clear destination, illusion traps me here I can't find a resolution, never letting go of fear We search for meaning that we can't find (waiting all our lives) We look for answers inside (Are we all alone?) It's all a lie! We search for meaning that we can't find (waiting all our lives) We look for answers inside (Are we all alone?) It's all a lie! I can't keep running in circles The dangers of losing your mind I can't keep edging out the routine of my life Why can't we control The absence of what we don't know So I can find a reason, a reason To find a way to let go We search for meaning that we can't find (waiting all our lives) We look for answers inside (Are we all alone?) It's all a lie! We search for meaning that we can't find (waiting all our lives) We look for answers inside (Are we all alone?) It's all a lie! We can't keep running in circles...

You're the only one! (The only one) You're the only one! (The only one) Why can't this be what I want it to be? Why can't I have the life I keep dreaming? An empty bed with no one to share Moments too brief like you weren't even there! Every second without you here I keep thinking, I'll wake up And you'll be there! You're the only one I need (the one I need) Your body pressing against me (against me) I'll always be rushing home to see your face A never ending chase Keep asking questions, will there be answers? (will there be answers?) Hidden mysteries, is this a love affair? And you'll be there You know that I will be there For you, you know that I will be there! You're the only one I need (the one I need) Your body pressing against me (against me) I'll always be rushing home to see your face A never ending chase When I'm gone, are you lying there Thinking about a life that we can't share? Empty promises I give, another life This isn't it, this isn't it! I won't let them destroy my dream I would give you my everything I can't let things just end this way You are my blessing, I am your curse! You're the only one I need Your body pressing against me (against me) You're the only one I need (the one I need) Your body pressing against me (against me) I'll always be rushing home to see your face A never ending chase (Every second without you here) You're the only one I need (the one I need) (I keep thinking, I'll wake up) Your body pressing against me (against me) (And you'll be there) I'll always be rushing home to see your face A never ending chase

I am not afraid of you This is your anthem to sing to I am not afraid of you Be who you are not what they told you Everybody wants to be on top Nobody wants to work for anything they've got Everybody says you are "you're not" I want you to fight until you're something their not Even if this ends today I'd be happy to walk away Every day I lived a dream I gave my life meaning And every day you sing along Is a day I know I belong To struggle and claw my way To find out who I am not And every day you sing along Is a day I know I belong To struggle and claw my way To find out who I'm not If you want to be like me Look in the mirror and find what you see Anybody can live their dreams Be the next you, not me So sing along And every day you sing along Is a day I know I belong To struggle and claw my way To find out who I am not And every day you sing along Is a day I know I belong To struggle and claw my way To find out who I'm not And all they want to hear you say is "I surrender" And all I want to hear you say is I am not afraid Not afraid I am not afraid Not afraid I'll find my way And every day you sing along Is a day I know I belong To struggle and claw my way To find out who I am not And every day you sing along Is a day I know I belong To struggle and claw my way To find out who I'm not

Desires are dangerous things Bringing sorrow to many, men to their knees You've built your life to live with no regrets But the secret is none of us could ever really live So here you are at the end of the road Wondering which path to take, or if you'll ever know You'll live to sing again, you'll live to sing again You'll live to love again You'll live to love again Your world Your world is falling apart The darkness seizing your heart You keep falling further away These desperate feelings, you wish would go away There are times, nothing makes sense but the dark Nothing makes sense but the dark you know too well And nothing matters when you can't feel anymore And nothing's worth the fight when the fight's all you do any more You'll live to love again You'll live to love again Your world Your world is falling apart The darkness seizing your heart You keep falling further away These desperate feelings, you wish would go away You keep falling and you're not sure where you'll land These distant memories are all that you have You'll live to love again You'll live to love again You'll live to love again You'll live to love again

If we were just born to die What's the difference between you and I? Nothing Nothing You don't believe in anything I can't believe that you can live this way Are you so perfect, without feelings? I can't believe that you would die this way Cause you're all alone, afraid to think I am not afraid to die alone I never wanted to question fate It's like a fight without a win If we were just born to die What's the difference between you and I? Nothing Nothing You don't believe in anything Do you believe in everything you see? It's just to fill the book you never read Do I question every single thing? I have to believe that there's meaning Give me meaning I keep fighting and I keep lying Lying to myself, again and again Lying to myself, is this all pretend? Lying to myself, again and again Lying to myself, will this ever end? Are we alone? And where we can't go home? Are we meant to die alone? I want to pull us out of the grave It's a grave but we're meant to know Is there some day where we go home? It's a grave and we're meant to know I don't believe we are alone What's the difference between you and I? Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing
