Little girl, I love when she talks to me
Got to smile, when she walks that walk with me
I want the girl, but I want a lot
Might cross my mind, but that's where it stops

Ohhhh
That bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of-part of-part of me

I love the girl, I'm lovin' the dress she wears
She's got a hold, got a hold of me neck, oh yeah
I wanna cry, she way that she moves
I want the girl, but not what she's going through

Ohhhhh
That bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of-part of-part of me

She was so friendly, I had one too many
But now that they tell she was rubbing up against me
But I swear, never meant a thing, she was just a fling
There's no other woman who does it like you

That bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of-part of-part of me

We don't talk like we used to
The perfect present is no longer the future
And I can't find it, trust me I looked around
Seems like all the sand is at the bottom now

We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold
And when to let it go
I hope we survive 'cause it's passing by
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows

Time, time, time
(If it all up and blows)
Time, time, time, time
(I wish we could rewind)

Time, time, time
(I wish we could rewind)
Time, time, time
(I wish we could rewind)

We are the shore, the wave is rising
We are the dust made out of diamonds
When metal rusts, we are all drowning
Island of Mann, we are surrounded

We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold
And when to let it go
I hope we survive 'cause it's passing by
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows

Time time time
(If it all up and blows)
Time time time time
(I wish we could rewind)

Time
(Time, time, time, time)
Time time time time time time
(I wish we could rewind)

Make a little love, make a little war
Tell me how it feels dreaming without a future
Have a little laugh, have a little cry
Each moment gets us closer to saying goodbye

Make a little love, make a little war
Tell me how it feels dreaming without a future
Have a little laugh, have a little cry
Each moment gets us closer to saying goodbye

Big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand
All good things come to an end and turn around again
The big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand
All good things come to an end

We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold
And when to let it go
I hope we survive 'cause it's passing by
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows

Time, time, time, time
(If it all up and blows)
Time, time, time
(I wish we could rewind)

Time, time, time, time
(If it all up and blows)
time, time, time, time
(I wish we could rewind)

Time time time
(If it all up and blows)
Time time time
(I wish we could rewind)

Time
(Time, time, time, time)
Time, time, time, time, time, time
(I wish we could rewind)

I wish we could rewind

Smoking on a cigarette, my six pack's right beside me
Smoking on a cigarette, my six pack's right beside me
Smoking on a cigarette, my six pack's right beside me
Smoking on a cigarette, my six pack's right beside me

Beside me, beside me, beside me
Beside me, beside me, beside me
Beside me, beside me, beside me
Beside me, beside me, beside me
Beside me, beside me

Everybody out for my blood
Everybody want my percent
I don't wanna start going off
I don't wanna start talking shit

They just wanna take what is mine
How much more can you get?
I already know what they want
I already know what they spent

Now-a-days I think like a loner
But they looking for blood
I'm about to get what they owe
Gonna get back what they stole

Let me talk to the fans
Every time I walk in the door
They just wanna take my advance
But I won't stop till they know, walk with me now

When I retaliate you're gonna know
The mourning of sweet revenge
The pain and suffering will come to those
When I get even, it's such a sweet revenge
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge, sweet revenge

I bet they won't stop till I quit
I bet they won't leave till I go
Ain't gonna hurt me a bit
One monkey won't stop the show

I've been through dirt and sand
Traveled to foreign lands
Been to hell and come back
I ain't gonna go there again

Why they wanna cause me to trip?
Why they wanna see me take a fall?
They wanna get something for nothing
Wanna see me jumpin' and runnin'

Let me talk to the fans
Never gonna stop doing this
Till I'm deep in the ground
I'm way too far to give in, walk with me now

When I retaliate you're gonna know
The morning of sweet revenge
The pain and suffering will come to those
When I get even, it's such a sweet revenge
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge, sweet revenge

Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge
Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge
Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge
Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge

When I retaliate you're gonna know
The morning of sweet revenge
The pain and suffering will come to those
When I get even, it's such a sweet revenge
Sweet revenge, sweet revenge, sweet revenge

Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge
Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge
Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge
Getting even, it's the sweetest revenge

You've got a FADED sky
You've got no breathing room
You got a wasted life
You got nothing to do

Get up, get OFF the floor
I said get up
Do something more
You need a backbone, to roll with the world
You gotta get you one to RUN WITH THE BULLS

(You ready,)
(You ready,)
(Get ready,)

You got pint of blood, you got a losing HAND
You put a house of cards, on a HILL OF SAND

Get up,
get OFF the floor
I said get up,
Do something more,
You need a backbone, to roll with the world
You gotta get you one to RUN WITH THE BULLS

(You ready,)
(You ready,)
(GET ready,)

You got a fatal flaw
Skeleton made of straw
Images on the wall
Keeping you in the dark

You're in a pack of wolves
Trying to live alone
If you're gonna BE A MOLE
CRAWL BACK INSIDE YOUR HOLE

. . .


The speaker on?
Yeah, you like that?

When it all falls down
And the law don’t count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care

Where in the world you gonna go
Who in the world you gonna hold
When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We’ll leave it all with God.

When it all falls down
And we almost drown
When the sin sinks in (?)
I guess it’s every man for himself

Where in the world you gonna go
Who in the world you gonna hold
When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We’ll leave it all with God.(?)

When the war it rages over the ages
You can’t erase it once you spill the
Blood on the concrete river of deceit
Will you be around?

When it all falls down
And the law don’t count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care

Where in the world you gonna go
Who in the world you gonna hold
When all of the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We’ll leave it all with….

. . .


You are the road that I will travel
You are the words I write
You are the ocean I will swallow
You are the wind I ride
You are the cause to keep my head up high
I will survive
You gotta know I'll stay beside you
Right till the day I die

I don't want to change anymore
I've already paid (said, I've already paid)
I don't have to pray anymore
Because my soul has been saved

And now,
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Never far away

You're the blood that's in my veins
You're my second skin skin
I'm a feather on the wind
You will bring me in
Every heart should have a beat
Every night a dream
Every king should have a queen
Every saint a sin

I don't want to change anymore (I don't want to change)
I've already paid (said I've already paid)
I don't have to pray anymore
Because my soul has been saved (been saved)

Whenever I come, whenever I go
No you're never far away, far away
Never far away

When I go hot you make sure I don't break
Gimme life inside of heavens gates, I know (heaven, heaven)
You taught me how to live like ****
Gave me definition for the worst I know
That there ain't no space between you and me

Whenever I come, whenever I go
No you're never far away, far away
Never far away

. . .


I tried and tried to walk away
To be the bigger man and leave
You made it hard for me, for me
Its been a long lonly road
I didnt know which way to go
You made my blood run cold
And filled me up with sorrow

Theres no where for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I wont go without a fight
You'll never take me alive

You'll never take me alive oh no you wont
Ever take me alive oh no you wont
Take me alive oh no you wont
Ever take me alive oh no you wont

I tried and tried to shed your skin
But you've controlled me from within
Your love has been a sin
I wont forget tomorrow

Theres no where for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I wont go without a fight
You'll never take me alive

In the fire inside the circle
Lonly treats today

You'll never take me alive oh no you wont
(in the fire inside the circle)
Ever take me alive oh no you wont
(lonly treats today)
Take me alive oh no you wont
(in the fire inside the circle)
Ever take me alive oh no you wont
(lonly treats today)

In the fire inside

. . .


Baby, I used to watch your flowers grow
Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone
I've been praying, I turn around and see my rose
But you faded, you left me, now it's time to go

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be toî late our time is done

Baby, I think you've got your timing wrong
Hating, exploring this while we're riding on
And it's crazy to think that I could be reborn
If you saved me now it's too late and you'll never know

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done

With broken wings
(with broken wings)
I can't fly
(I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine
With broken wings
(with broken wings)
I can't fly
(I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

(feat. Timbaland)

Take a minute to tell you right
And you can say what you want
Turn around every night
So now you're always going off
Doesn't matter what I've done
Or if I even crossed the line
Is that the hollar going for blood
Girl, it doesn't have to be a fight

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

[There's no need to scream, baby
I'm standing right in front of your face
Why
I know sometimes we don't get along
So Chris sing the second verse to you
Like this]

Take a minute to tell you now
Don't have to raise my tone
Take the level and bring it down
I just want you to know
I got no trouble with what you said
I don't even think you're wrong
It's how you say it
You lose your head
Girl I'm standing right in front of you

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?(at the top of your head)
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head? (at the top of your head)
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?(at the top of your head)
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?(hey i hear)

Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?(hey)
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?(at the top of your head)
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?(hey i hear i hear)
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden(I hear, I hear)

. . .


Everytime the blood runs to my head I hear the ring
Something to remind me I'm not dead or caught in between
I listen to the voice and what it says its never sweet
Somethin I was born into I guess livin' in me

No prize nothinng I pay will make it all rised
Nothin' I see will make it lose sight
Nothin' I take will make me sleep at night ,sleep at night
When I look at them and I feel I guess I got to be runnin runnin runnin runinn
I will never sake this feelin till I feel nothin nothin nothin

I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy
I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy

Everytime I take another breath I feel
Everyone around is seem so numb I feel everything

No prize nothinng I pay will make it all rised
Nothin' I see will make it lose sight
Nothin' I take will make me sleep at night ,sleep at night
When I look at them and I feel I guess I got to be runnin' runnin' runnin'
I will never sake this feelin till I feel nothin nothin nothin

I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy
I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy

Taking my time to untagle the wires and staring to my sanity
Plopping the hammer and pulling the trigger I know now the bullet is me

I'm the enemy inside of me,
I'm the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me enemy, enemy, enemy
I'm the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me enemy, enemy, enemy

We met at party bout almost 2 years ago…
But there was a part of me that she just didn’t know…
I tried to hide it from her, but it didn’t take long…
Before she would have found me, and…
See where I go.

Wanted to tell her…but I just didn’t know how…
And every time I’d spit the words, wouldn’t come out…
Everyone will tell yah that old habits die hard…
N it’s just the same for me…

She wouldn’t compromise,
She’d wanna stand her ground,
She wouldn’t talk to me
She wouldn’t make the sound

She wanna’ say goodbye
I wanna’ reconcile

What type of ……. I can’t make this out?

I should’ve left that side of town……….. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of the town……. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of town …………‘along…
A long…..Time ago.

I should’ve left that side of town……….. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of the town……. a’ long
I shoud’ve left that side of town …………‘along…
A long…..Time ago.

Guilty, Is getting to me but she wasn’t home
Keep trying to call but she wont pick up her phone
I thought she something?? Speaking to me, But I’m in the wrong
She dont wanna talk to me
She’d rather go

Tried to apologize for the lies that I told…
She don’t wanna hear it, n’ told me to leave her alone…
I didn’t appreciate her until she was gone…
N now it’s too late for that….
She wouldn’t compromise,
She’d wanna stand her ground,
She wouldn’t talk to me
She wouldn’t make the sound

She wanna’ say goodbye
I wanna’ reconcile

What type of ……. I can’t make this out?

I should’ve left that side of town……….. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of the town……. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of town …………‘along…
A long…..Time ago.

I should’ve left that side of town……….. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of the town……. a’ long
I shoud’ve left that side of town …………‘along…
A long…..Time ago.

She won’t even talk to me .NO!
She wont even talk to me ..NO!
She won’t even talk to me..NO!
She won’t…. She won’t!

She wouldn’t compromise,
She’d wanna stand her ground,
She wouldn’t talk to me
She wouldn’t make the sound

She wanna’ say goodbye
I wanna’ reconcile

What type of ……. I can’t make this out?

I should’ve left that side of town……….. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of the town……. a’ long
I should’ve left that side of town …………‘along…

I keep seein' your face...
When my eyes are closed.
I'm rememberin' how it used to go.
All the medicated...
Nearly comatose.
A bullet out of your head...
Is it on that road?

So much in your mind
When you kill more than time.
You're sinking so low thinking you will be high.
Biting your lip while you're losing your mind.
Alone. God knows...

You're climbing up the walls.
You're just climbing up the walls.
You're climbing up the walls.

Now you're reaching that age
Where you should know.
How to figure it out
Out on your own.
On the far side of town
Is a room you love.
Started tearin' it down.
To get you to follow...

So much in your mind
When you kill more than time.
You're sinking so low thinking you will be high.
Biting your lip while you're losing your mind.
Alone. God knows...

You're climbing up the walls.
You're just climbing up the walls.
You're climbing up the walls.

The world won't rise and ease your crying.
If you do nothing...
If you do nothing...
The world won't try to change your mind.
If you don't change at all.

You're climbing up the walls.
You're just climbing up the walls.
You're climbing up the walls.

*Acoustic bit*
Drunk. He's fast asleep.
He's so tired. Makes me weep.
He stays up all night workin' on his songs.
But then I guess we all do the same thing.
He's sleepy...

. . .


Hey hey
Watch out!
She keep on going when the light turns red
Watch out!

Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Watch out!

She's driving crazy like the roads on fire
Watch out!
Killing the motor and she's smoking up the tires
Hey hey, watch out!
She hit the corners with her foot on the floor
Watch out!
She likes the lincoln with the sui-suicide doors

Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)

Hey hey watch out!

She's gone insane I think her brakes don't work

Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up

. . .


This open promise fades and the sun forgets to rise
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty but it's better I stay dry
No more than two drinks away from crying

Stare into the glass and wait for the time to pass
And thank you for the offer but you know I must decline
Never more than two drinks away from crying

There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high
My life stretched out before me, rivers flow with wine
I had my love beside me and everything was fine
Now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye

This whole promise fades and midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow but I cannot tell a lie
No more than two drinks away from crying
