since when did bullets
start to sing
it didnt have to end like this
is this the end of everything
it didnt have to end like this
i feel i feel we can't stop
here
it doesn't have to end like this
we owe this to ourselves
we can't just let this go
if every man became a king
we could start it off with this
we could do more than just dream
we could start it off with this
i feel i feel the change is here
we owe this to ourselves
to fight to lead
we can't just let this go

. . .


Make my teeth clench
And my hands shake
Do you ever see
What you do to me?

You're wearing me out
Just wearing me out
But I'm wearing you down

You're impossible
Lovely
So impossible
To win or please

I'm wearing you out
Just wearing you out
But I'm wearing you down

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now

Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want

I make your lips red
And your moans quake
Try to think through
What I can do to you

It's wearing you thin
Can I begin
To wear you out
Wear you out

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now

Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want

I'm impossible
To figure out
So impossible
You've had your doubts

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything honey
It means nothing now

Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget

Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything honey
It means nothing now

Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want from me
Take what you want from me

. . .


The ground is shaking underneath
Now that you're here
A body skipping beats
When you appear

The world is on fire
Since you've come near
All I've ever desired
Is here with me
You're here with me
You're here with me
You're here with me

Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me to die
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life

Who's going to drink my blood
Now that you're gone
Who's going to right all my wrongs
Now that you're gone
Who's going to tear my flesh with a stirring sing
Now that you're gone
Woaahh
Now that you're gone

Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me tonight
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life
Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me to die
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life

The rest of your life
You leave me stranded
Now that you're gone
Don't leave me stranded
Out here all alone

Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me tonight
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life
Take me as you found me
Take me as you found me
Or leave me to die
Leave me wanting
Leave me wanting
The rest of your life

. . .


Do you expect me?
To be or believe you?
Do you accept me?
When it's me you can see through?

Are you keeping safe distance?
Are you arms length away?
Are you keeping safe distance?
Holding me arms length away?
Are you there, can someone answer me?

Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.

Do you expect me?
To keep from crawling back.
Do you accept me?
When we both know my past.

Am I keeping safe distance?
Pushing you arms length away?
Am I keeping safe distance?
Oh, it's you that feels betrayed.
Are you there, can someone answer me?
Come where I can see.

Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
I know you're out there somewhere.
Come where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer to me.

Come closer.
Come closer.
Come closer.

Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
Are you out there somewhere?
Go where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer to me.

. . .


You belong here.
You were meant for me.
You belong here.
You were meant to be with me.

You've got the better part of me.
Always have and always will.
You've got the better part of me, oh.
And you know that I'm right.

And I know I'm asking too much,
And I know I'm taking control.
But a heart that's not worth breaking,
Isn't worth much, not at all.
It isn't worth much at all.

You belong here.
You were meant for me.
You belong here.
You belong here with me.
You were meant to be with me.

You are the better part, you see.
Always have and always will.
You'll be the better part of me, oh oh.
For the rest of my life.

And I know I'm asking too much,
And I know I want control.
But I give you all I have.
It isn't much, not much at all.
I'm not much at all.

You belong here.
You were meant for me.
You belong here. (You belong here.)
You belong here with me.
You belong here. (You belong here.)

(You belong here with me.)
You were meant to be with me.

(But I give you all I have.
It isn't much, not much at all.
But a heart that's not worth breaking,
Isn't worth much, not at all.)

You belong here.
You were meant for me.
You belong here.
You belong here with me.
You belong here (You belong here with me.)
You were meant to be with me. (You belong here with me.)

. . .


Are you hiding secrets from me?
Is there more to this life that I can't see?
What will I find out over time?
Waiting for the moment to arrive.
Why are you lying there?
What Are you hiding there?

Hide away, why do you hide away from me?
Hide yourself, why do you hide your face from me?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.

Do you like the shadows in there?
Keep me in the dark now, are you scared?
Will the truth ever set you free?
Tell me, will you buckle at your knees?

What are you hiding there?
Why are you lying there?

Hide away, why do you hide away from me?
Hide yourself, why do you hide your face from me?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.

(Instrumental Break)

Lie to yourself, don't lie to me.
Lie to yourself, don't hide yourself.
Find yourself, let me find you.
Find yourself, let me find you.

Hide away, why do you hide away from me?
Hide yourself, Oh why, why do you hide yourself from me?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.

Hide away
Woah-oh hide away
Hide away, why do you hide yourself away?
I'm the only one that can save you now.
I'm the only one that can save you now.

Am I the latest,
in your art of war?
Thought your hands could heal,
what they left me so?
You're so good,
at what you think you do to me.
You're so good,
at what you think you do to me.

(Chorus)
There are songs,
I'll never write.
Because of you,
barking out of my life.
There are words,
that don't belong.
Because of you,
I'll never write another love song.

Words are the greatest,
in your arsenal.
Or just the latest,
in your art of war, your art of war.
You're no good,
at what you said you'd do to me.
You're no good,
at what you said you'd do to me.

(Chorus)
There are songs (there are songs),
I'll never write.
Because of you,
barking out of my life.
There are words (there are words),
that don't belong.
Because of you,
I'll never write another love song (never write another love song).

(Chorus)
There are songs (there are songs),
I'll never write.
Because of you,
barking out of my life.
There are words (there are words),
that don't belong.
Because of you,
I'll never write another love song (never write another love song).

(Chorus)
There are songs,
I'll never write.
Because of you,
barking out of my life.
There are words,
that don't belong.
Because of you,
I'll never write another love song (never write another love song).

You want to put two in my chest
I want to be the one in your hair
In your hair
In your hair

Betrayed
Say you love me but cast the first off
Betrayed
Left me alone but to the wolves alone

To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me to the wolves

Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

Wo, oh
Wa, oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

You want me to believe that you're so right
But it's only in your eyes
In your eyes (in your eyes)

Deceiver
Say you love me but I found lies
Deceiver
Left me for dead, to the wolves alone

To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me to the wolves

Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you
Who needs enemies when we've got friends
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

Wo, oh
Wa, oh
Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you

To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
To the wolves, you left me to the wolves
Thought it was me and you against the world
But you left me

. . .


You would have loved who I used to be
Yesterday, I would have hated the boy you see
When you found me I was at my worst
The best I was is a long forgotten curse

You caught me on the way down
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on the way down

Feel like a shell of yester-years gone by
Bad decisions like ghosts that just won't die
I'm so sorry that I can't apologize
For what comes next is another long goodbye

You caught me on the way down
Honey, honey
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on the way down

You caught me on the way down
Oh, honey
Please hold my hand before I drown
Tie my hands before I burn this town
You caught me on the way down
