I know your name
I know the people out there feel the same
I know you're gone
I hope you got some friends to come along

I know you're out there
I know you're gone
You can't say that's fair
Can't you be wrong?

I feel okay
I'm sure I know that's not what people say
Maybe they're wrong
Maybe you weren't on my side all along

I know you're out there
I know you're gone
You can't say that's fair
Can't you be wrong?

I know you're out there
You're still a case, it's still the place weren't you invited?
It's what you cant spare
Whatever's left, just hide the rest and bring it right in

I know it's sick
I know you think a game is just a trick
Maybe I've changed
Just tell me was this all in vain?

I know you're out there
I know that space is not a race, weren't you invited?
It's what you cant spare
Whatever's left, just hide the rest and bring it right in

Maintained inside I've lost my range
Feel the strain weren't you invited?
Just never try it's still the place
You're still the case now bring it right in

. . .


Oh, there's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb, can't even react
Didn't say it's not okay
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye

It's the last thing on my mind
Still you won't let things unwind
Spinnin' tight around your head
Can't you hear a word I've said?
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye

When you call it's just not fair
It's the last thing you should share
I can't deal, I'll let you know
Still I wish you'd let it go
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye

I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's fine

Oh, there's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb, can't even react
Didn't say it's not okay
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's fine

I'm takin' away a lot of stuff
I'm tellin' you it's rough but not goodbye

. . .


I'd like to see you in the morning
In the evening but you need a warning
I'd like to see you it's a last ditch
Come on you gotta I ain't sayin' there's not a hitch

Come on out now it's the only
Can't think I know how
Is that all you're gonna let me say?

I'd like to see you and don't you miss it?
I lied again today and now I wish that
You'd believe me when I need to
You should be weary what if I were you

Can I come along, I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong, sure, I'll take the blame
I'd like to see you in the morning
In the evening but you need a warning

I'd like to see you don't you miss it?
I lied again today now I wish that
You'd believe me when I need to
You should be weary, I would if I were you

Can I come along, I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong, sure, I'll take the blame
Come on out now it's the only way
Can't think I know how is that all you're gonna let me say?

You got things to do
So, what else is new?
Won't you give me some?
Bring it back for me
Won't you come and see?
You're the only one

So, what else is new?
So, what else is new?

You got things to do
So, what else is new?
Won't you give me some?
Bring it back for me
Won't you come and see?

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
[Incomprehensible]

. . .


I'd like to come and see you
But what's it worth to know?
Promise you'll make it easy
You won't get me to go

I've been a wreck so long
It's hard to pull it back
But I'm on it and I want it and just flaunt it
And it wakes me and it takes me and it rapes me

Gone away, on the way

I want to let you go
I got a little red
Just can't pull it together
Before it goes to your head

Gone away, on the way
On the way, on the way

I'd like to come and see you
But I think I'm on my way

Gone away, gone away, on the way
On the way, on the way, gone away

I've been a wreck so long
It's hard to pull out
Look to me, I feel the fool again

. . .


On this day, where you're so messed it's clear
Can't explain the road you roam
Anyone, who's been

As I walk with you, it chills me so
To hear you say, it's gone the worse
[Incomprehensible], so I cared

Here I dream, I always talked to you
You seem fine again, my sweet
Feels alright to me

Is it right for you?
Flippin' out I try to call to you, till you come to me
Tell me, what to do?

And I know it's not the same, there's no blame
But still I bother you
And you say it's not true, dear, it's mine to fear
Follow through

Come alive, I know you'll sing with me
I won't sing to you, it's not a thing I do

How's it been a different feel for you?
Wholesomeness was gone along
Or is it something new?

And I know it's not the same, there's no blame
But still I bother you
And you say, it's not true dear, it's mine to fear
We won't coexist

Anyway you're not the same, it's the blame
Follow through

It's a lingering that comes through me
Does it come to you?
Are we really through?

Any guy would do this thing for me
It's not much to ask
Why can't you?

I'm not gonna say, I've had my way
You should solve it out
What else can I do?

You promised so much, lied with every touch
I believed in you

Follow through

. . .


Well, I don't see you, I won't call you
I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Guess, it's on and on

On a day, maybe I'd show you
But it's the least of all I go through
But the thing is I don't know you
And it's on and on

The trembling words, don't make my eyes close
And if anyone then you'd know I can't find out
'Cause it won't show
And it's on and on

Well, every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray that maybe you're right
But if you don't, maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

When it takes too long I lose it
I'll just hang while you abuse it
If you knew then why'd you choose it
'Cause it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this, are you?
You're not gonna get me through this, are you?

Well, anytime I'm there to show you
But if it takes too long I know you
Out the door just leavin' me screwed
And it's on and on

Well, everytime I try to fight it
It's so hard to seem excited
And if you don't turn, I'll bite it
And it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this, are you?
You're not gonna get me through this, are you?

Well, I don't see you, I won't call you
I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me or is it all you?
Yes, it's on and on

Well, every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray maybe that you're right
But if you don't, maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

. . .


Do you know that it's alright?
I've been thinkin', seein' that's not how it's gotta be
Ain't sayin' if it's worth the fight
I'm a space but you can count on me to save your place

And I know it's all to do with you and me
Do you know if you're against the deal, we'll wait and see
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend

Did you know I heard your voice?
But when I call to see if you're around, I have no choice
Then the news is in my face
Took a step to let the feeling go and lost my place

And I swear I hear the same thing every night
Once again no one counted for the hours I spent
I baked as anytime I drifted out of sight
Remember when you didn't need this time to mend

Anywhere you'd like to go
Would it help to be inside the life I couldn't know?
If you're shaken it won't show
Hold out for me, 'cause bailin' at this point is really low

And I know it's all to do with just a friend
And I can't decipher messages you send
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend

. . .


You know it hurts me
To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time
But what about someday to know you're laughin' there
It's messin' with my mind

Damage setting in, tell me where you been?
Try not to ask again, breakouts I cant defend
Twisted messages I send

I walk over and we smile
And all get set, where we take up is where I wake up
It's a vice that's feelin' tight around my head
I can't place it, still can't waste it

It's kind of useless
To tell you everything that needs to end today
I'd be confused less
If you'd just grab me in a way, then be on your way

I can't let it go, starting to really show
Don't you think I've tried?
Don't you want it inside?
What could be left to hide?

You know it hurts me
To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time
It sure seems lonesome but you're still hangin' there
It's messin with my mind

You can't expect much, not so out of touch
If I ask again, nothing I'll defend but I can pretend

I walked over and we smile
And all the rest, where we take up is where I wake up it
It's a two ton weight
That's wrapped around my chest, I just knew it can't get through it

And now it's finally just inches from my eye
I can't place it, still can't waste it
When you stomp on the last thing I've left to try
Is where I wake up

. . .


In the place you said you'd meet me
I don't see you hanging around, I'm goin' home
But if that's all you ever tell me
Seems you don't wanna be found, and I'm goin' home

And don't come over, I can't get lower
No more meetin', well, I've been beaten
Got a blast of what I should be busy doing
Yes, I'm lost

I'm goin' home
I want to tell you that I miss you
But I'm pissed you, blew me off, I'm goin' home

No more meetin', I've been beaten
If you go ahead fake it, I can't shake it

I breath all alone
I need nothing, I can do

By the pound with the tension's mountin'
Wrapped around me feelin' tight, I'm goin' home
But if you're castin' out some psycho
You'll need me, tantrum, I won't bite, I'm goin' home

On a day that's burnin' this crazed
Don't tempt me 'cause I might, I'm goin' home
If it's gonna be the last time
Well, then maybe it's alright, I'm goin' home

Well, it's inside, but go ahead fight it
Well, I've about had it, go ahead grab it
Well, I can't take it, go ahead fake it

I breath all alone for you
I need and you know it's true
I breath all alone for you
I need nothin', I can do

And people tell me that you miss me
And I guess I'm doin' fine

. . .


Run outside, my house is burnin',
your house is light up, now
I'm learnin', it's not a good sign,
wheels are turnin' and they're rollin' home to you.
left a few things
I'll be back for, it's a d

Still need a few more when you're scratchin' at the back door and I'm rollin' home to you.
scratch it off, it won't stop peelin'.
but you're hooked, you just stopped dealin', don't need walls yo

D a ceiling 'cause you're floatin' off again.
run outside, my house is burnin', I'm light up, now I'm learnin'.
it's not a good sign wheels are turnin', rollin' home to you left a few things, I'd back for.
it's a drag.
still need a few more.
not a good sign.
and I'm rollin' home to you.

I'd like to see you in the morning
In the evening but you need a warning
I'd like to see you it's a last ditch
Come on you gotta I ain't sayin' there's not a hitch

Come on out now it's the only
Can't think I know how
Is that all you're gonna let me say?

I'd like to see you and don't you miss it?
I lied again today and now I wish that
You'd believe me when I need to
You should be weary what if I were you

Can I come along, I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong, sure, I'll take the blame
I'd like to see you in the morning
In the evening but you need a warning

I'd like to see you don't you miss it?
I lied again today now I wish that
You'd believe me when I need to
You should be weary, I would if I were you

Can I come along, I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong, sure, I'll take the blame
Come on out now it's the only way
Can't think I know how is that all you're gonna let me say?

You got things to do
So, what else is new?
Won't you give me some?
Bring it back for me
Won't you come and see?
You're the only one

So, what else is new?
So, what else is new?

You got things to do
So, what else is new?
Won't you give me some?
Bring it back for me
Won't you come and see?

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
[Incomprehensible]
