Hoobastank Album

I have been patiently waiting in line
Watching everyone passing me by
And I can't seem to figure out
When's it going to be my turn?

I'm sick and tired of paying my dues
Played the game 'til the end, and I lose
So can somebody tell me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

I've always followed and played by the rules
But the prize goes to those who aren't due
Still nobody can answer me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

'Cause yesterday, I've burned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn? (x6)

Whoa... When's it going to be my turn? (x2)

Yesterday, I've learned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

'Cause yesterday, I've burned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn? (x2)

I wonder what you'll take from me today
Sanity or just my breath away
It's hard to say
Impossible for me to tell
What always --------------
Who you're going to be from day to day to day

Chorus:
I wish that we would go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore,anymore

Wonder why it is that you don't see
What you've changed since we first met
And how much that is killing me
Know that I will always miss
The butterflies I --------- first kiss
And how you use to smile so easily

Chorus:
I wish that we would go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore,anymore

Bridge:
It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I don't think that I love you anymore,anymore

I'm sorry,I'm sorry
I never thought that it will come to this
I know I'll never get back
To how we were before
Cuz' I know that I don't love you anymore

It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I know that I don't love you anymore,anymore

I'm sorry...

I wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar.
Been gone so many days, I’m losing count.
When I think of home, I see your face.
I know I have to wait…

(Chorus)
So close, yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I miss hearing your laughter
And all the little things
Forgotten what it’s like to hold you
Cause where I am right now so unforgiving
It’s numbing everything

So close, yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

So promise
No matter how long it takes for me to get back to you
You’ll wait for me.

I Promise
No matter how far away I go I’ll come back for you
Just wait and see

I miss being at home
I miss your face
Don’t think I can wait...

We’re So close, yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I promise,
It’s tearing me apart
No matter how far away I go I’ll come back for you
I promise
Its tearing me apart
What I would do-
What I would do-
What I would do to be there with you

I spill out my heart
But you don't hear a word
Cause you're busy thinking about how long til it's your turn
So you can go on and on, about yourself
Go on and on, about yourself
And my heart can go back on the shelf
and go on and on, about yourself
But it's not all about you
All about you
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, you
It's not all about you, thw world turns without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you!
Whatever I do, you've already done
Only you've done it better and way before anyone
Cause you think, that it's some game to win
You think, that it's some game to win
Accomplishments and places been
You think, that it's some game to win
But it's not all about you
All about you
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, you
It's not all about you, the world turns without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you!
Care about you, you, you
You go on and on and on about yourself
You go on and on and on about yourself
The people that you know
The places that you've been
Why can't you see nobody cares about you
Well, it's not all about you!
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, you
It's not all about you, the world turns without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you!!
Care about YOU!!!!!!!!

meet me there at midnight
same place we always go
you're absolutely sure he doesn't know
those words jump off the letter
that i found behind our bed
haunting me they echo in my head
in my head.

its too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
its so hard, there in the letter that I've found
I've memorized it line for line
too bad that letter isn't mine, no

when can i then see you
I've been counting the days
i promise you our secret will be safe
no i just cant continue
reading thru my tears
the beating of the letter is so clear
so clear

its too late to try and work it out.
there's no way to turn this thing around
its so hard, there in the letter that I've found
i memorized it line by line
too bad that letter isn't mine.

u wanted me to find it
never tried to hide it
running never fades those words are here to stay
i hope u find this letter
writing you today
these will be the last words that i say

its too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
its so hard, here in this letter that you've found
its too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
its so hard, here in this letter that you've found.
so memorized it line for line
i wont be there to say goodbye.

I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The sky is cold and gray
Just like it was when we both went our separate ways
And the rain won't wash away
All the dirt of my mistakes

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The deafening sound of rain
Its not enough to drown my thoughts to ease the pain
So instead I'll soak it in
While I stare outside again

And I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The sun just won't seem to come out
Not since you walked away
Now I cannot escape
I cannot escape the rain
The rain

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday

First you tell me it's over
Then you try to get me to stay
I’m so confused what am I gonna do
You pull me in til you can push me away
One minute you tell me you need me
But it's right before you walk out the door
You’re hot then you’re cold
And this keeps getting old
Who am I supposed to be anymore
I can’t wait forever
To know if we're together
I’m sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I’m sick of hanging on
Sick of hanging on
Choose cause you can’t have it both ways
Choose so I know what to do
Cause I can’t believe that’s how you're gonna be
You’ve had your kick and now you’re leaving too
I can’t wait forever
To know if we're together
I’m sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I’m sick of hanging on
Sick of hanging on
You need to make up your mind
I need to know where I stand
This is your only chance
I’m sick of hanging on
I’m sick of hanging on
Let me go or I'll let go
I can’t wait forever
To know if we're together
I’m sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I’m sick of hanging on
Sick of hanging on
Sick of hanging on
Sick of hanging on

Tonight I'm letting go
Of all the old excuses
The fears I built so close
Cause inside I've always known
That no one else could ever do
Or ever feel like home
Theres so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure
You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken to long to say
My life began
The night we spent together
Now I cannot live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid
You're the one
It's hasn't always been
The best of times
But if you'd ask
I'd do it all again
(are you ready to begin)
I'm ready to begin
A brand new chapter of our lives
Just tell me where and when
(a brand new chapter in our lives)
Cause theres so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure
You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say
My life began
The night we spent together
Now I can not live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid
You're the one
You're the one
Who understands
Who makes me better than I am
I do it all because of you
When all we had
Had come undone
You stood and fought
And didn't run
You're the one who
Pulled us through
You're the one
I feel it more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say
Our lives began
The night we spent together
Now I can not live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid
You're the one
You're the one

*Screams yeah*

No more lying to myself
Pretending to myself
And now I'm hiding how I feel behind a smile
Living in constant self denial

There's something I need to say

No more running from my fights
And no more giving up when I know I'm right
Sick of trying to fit in
Wondering what I could have been

There's something I need to say
Its growing everyday
Things are going to change

I wont apologise
For who I come to be
Cos who the hell am I?
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cos who the hell am I?
If I can't be me

No more need to justify
Everything I do, everything I like
No more blood from biting my tongue
Too afraid to upset anyone

There's something I need to say

No more guilt for what I see
Staring at the mirror back at me

There's something I need to say
Its growing everyday
Things are going to change

I wont apologise
For who I come to be
Cos who the hell am I
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
Cos who the hell am I
If I can't be me

And it feels like I am naked
Stripped for you to see
My scars and imperfections
But you don't seem to notice
Cos your too busy covering up your cuts and bruises
From who knows what
Just like me
So why apologise
For who I've come to be
Cos who the hell am I
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cos this is who I am and that's fine with me

I feel the wind brush across my face like a

I feel the wind brush across my face
Like an invisible wave crashing over me
I started holding my breath the moment I left
Wondering what the day was going to bring for me

But there's no way that I could every prepare
For the scope of it all, for the chill in the air
The cold of the rain, the warmth of the day
I'm never gonna be the same

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me

It's something new and beyond every corner is a mystery
'Cause every road that I've taken
Can never be mistaken for the one that now is under my feet
And I realize with open eyes
Every second that we have is once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me

'Cause something's incomplete, not quite how it should be
And I try and I try just to live in the moment
But everything I do just leads me back to you
'Cause there is no substitute

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
You need to be here, you need to be here with me

I've been having trouble looking in the mirror
Cause when I do I can't stand the person that I see
Although my face is still the same
Underneath something has changed
From all the shit you've said and done to me...
Did you ever realize the damage you were doing?
[00:48.54]Were you aware of all the mess that I've cleaned up?
Now I see just who you are
I can't believe it got this far
And it's time to say enough is enough...
So I'll be gone, gone, gone...
We started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone...
We ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie
It's too late too apologize
By the time this song is done,
I'll be gone.
I should have listened when my friends said you were crazy
I should have shown a little spine and self respect,
But I couldn't see the signs
You're so called love had made me blind
You tied me up and left me for dead
So I'll be gone, gone, gone...
We started off in heaven
I'll be gone, I'll be gone.
We ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie
It's too late too apologize
By the time this song is done,
I'll be gone, I'll be gone.
Don't beg me to reconsider
Don't bother getting on your knees
'Cause there's absolutely nothing you can say
to change my mind
So save you breath... save your breath
Cause I'll be gone...
We started off in heaven
]I'll be gone, gone, gone...
We ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie
It's too late too apologize
By the time this song is done,
I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.

In a darkened room
right beside the bed
There an empty suitcase waits 'til I leave again.

I try to fill it up
with things that feel like home
but no matter what goes in, I still feel alone
When I'm on my own.

CHORUS
No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.

Now it's time to go
and you're still sound asleep
when you wake up, next to you just cold empty sheets.

I gather all my things
from off the bedroom floor
One more kiss reminds me of what I'm leaving for
Then I close the door.

CHORUS x2

Nothing can ever replace you
Nothing can ever replace you

You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me

Oh...oh...
Oh...oh...
Oh...

CHORUS x2

You've felt unloved before
You've felt unwanted
You've tried to close the door on a past
in which you're haunted.

I don't know how to make it right
I don't know how to change it
I just know it wasn't your fault
So just let me say this.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

The past is a memory
The future's a mystery (the future's a mystery)
Where we'll be going
What will we be
As long as it's you and me.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me (I promise I'll be there)

You can go back if you want to
I've always been there
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me (Stay with me)
