I thought I found someone
I thought I had something I could trust
I still can't believe what happened
It's not that you lied to us
It's not that our friendship was a front
It's just that I can't see the real in you

Yeah for years I was afraid
Now I can finally say

That I'm afraid that you've become
Everything that you had hated
I'm waiting
For this to blow away

How could I have been so blind
How could I have ignored so many signs
Especially when my friends warned me
About your deceptive side
And that your friendship was a lie

Yeah for years I was betrayed
Now I can finally say

That I'm afraid that you've become
Everything that you had hated
I'm waiting
For this to blow away

I've been working for
Something oh so fake
But it's never too late

To correct the faults
So many others made
I know you don't care about whats right or fair

I heard you say your future is looking so great

I've been working for
Something oh so fake

Everyone's just looking for
a reason to go on
But every time I turn around
I feel that you are gone

And I know from my mistake before
I should have seen the truth
Do it one more time
And it'll be my fault for trusting you
Could I ever trust the words you say?

Still trying to say
That I can't forget what you did-no way
You're wasting my time, trying my patience
Still I can't forget what you did-no way

Everyone's just looking for
A person whom to trust
But every time I turn around
I feel that you are lost

Ignored what felt so wrong
To just play the fool once again
Gave up on feelings strong
And buried them

Take off that make up honey
I know what you've been missing
I've got a card to send you home
It says "Try to forget those good times
Maybe you never were mine"
How has this pain helped you grow?
Because you've done so much with your life
To have to settle for
A need to feel, a need to try
A need to feel whole
Do you feel whole?

Maybe we'll see this through if we get it together
Maybe I'll get to you. If you get it together
Go. Try. Try to make yourself right
Go. Try. To make this right and move on with your life

Take of that make up honey
Why don't you ever listen?
I've got something I need to know 'cause I've tried
Tried to forget your past crimes
But were you ever just mine?

She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home

Tried to forget about
Living a good life
Free of positions
Make her feel vulnerable
She's loved and she's lost
She failed in the call
She seeks to find the answer, now

Woke up today around 6 in the morning
Violently shaking, remembering what she once saw
She bared it alone
So she carried on
She seeks to find the answers for...

The reasons her life did not turn out...
More like a movie
She's trying to forget it all

She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home

The reasons her life did not turn out...
More like a movie
She's trying to forget it all
I don't believe in anything
But I believe in you
I never trusted anyone
But somehow I trust you
And if I fall away, someday you might find me

I tried my best to let you know
That I'm not trying to test you
It's just so hard to let you go
When I have nothing against you

Save your breath this time
You'll need your strength to set this right

Look how far we've come
Oh yeah there's no going back
Look at what we've done
There's no sense in saying
That accusing you of using me ain't right
But I will not give up without a fight
Do or die
Yeah take it back

Fear not cause here's the answer
To your most pressing question
Fear not cause here's the answer

This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
I came here today with a purpose
Should I try or just let it go

'Cause these things I'd like to ask you
Are things I can't explain
Or should I keep your glance outside the porch last Saturday

Should I have succumbed to your courtesy
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away

This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away

Tonight it seemed suddenly perfect
Still no promises made
The balance of power was shifted
Were you trying to let me in
Or was I trying so hard
That all my confidence was lost tonight
Confused and regretful I cracked
Swallowed it back
And left with no spine intact

Maybe we were meant to see what's right
See how this ought to be
Just a taste of life to see what's right
You made sense out of me
What a shame that we're slipping away now
I'm going away now
Off to see what's out there

You should know that I would never let you go.
I'm here to bear the weight of years.
You turn away what else is left for me to say?
you'll think what you want.
It's like we're once again at the first part.
It's safe to fall if you just trust the ground that you stand on.
I swear I would never let you down.
You should know sometimes it's hard for me
to show my fears but I'm never insincere.
Don't turn away from what you trusted yesterday.
I'm still that person that you can always depend on.
You live and learn but when I'm gone I won't return.
You don't have to feel that burn and
I'll know the time has come when you wake up alone and fine.

all the times I've tried
I know they don't erase
the things that brought me down
caused you to hurt, caused you to hate
but now I've figured out
all that we won't do
so I can see that there's no doubt
when you say I know

you're not looking
I'm still watching you
can we forget those times
can we move on

please say that you
can feel the same way that I do
please say that I
can be forgiven one last time

I'm lost without your sight
I can't think without your mind
there's comfort in the night
when I wake up by your side
I'm up here on my own
with nothing left to loose
I won't deny you anything
There's nothing I'll refuse

you're not looking
I'm still watching you
can we forget those times
can we move on

please say that you
can feel the same way that I do
please say that I
can be forgiven one last time

can we move on

please say that you
can feel the same way that I do
please say that I
can be forgiven one last time

please say that you
can feel the same way that I do
please say that I
can be forgiven one last time

this plan is only surface
and I do not deserve this.
I'm wondering if I'll withstand
to stand alone and stand to scream to the world:
I'm through and now I've come to mend
these wounds that were gored by you through all of them

it's too sad that I've got to mediate these faulty sides of you
and I'm wondering whatever did I do
the only reason that I still remain to you
is I go on repeating the excuse

this plan is only surface
maybe I'm lost in purpose
I've stood alone too many days
and I'm waiting for my day to say to the world
come through with all those promise plans
those year are lost and you've forgotten them

it's too sad [repeat]

what if this had not happened?
what if she hadn't gone?
what if this had not happened?
she never would have gone

well I wonder if the same
things could be any other way
still I don't deserve this

Remember just two years ago
when our bands were playing house shows
were fighting for
to make a change
to live our lives the way we dreamed
despite what they might say

remember how we struggled though
remember nights we spent on hard wood floors
were fighting for
to make a change
to live our lives the way we dreamed
despite what they might say

you're there when I fall
you'd help me be strong
even when I lost my faith
we're standing so tall
we made it through it all
we will keep it going strong
cause I feel it in the songs

to all my friends from around the way
Much respect
we owe you dues
we've got your back
you've got our's too
we'll be there
should you fall
and I just wanted you to know
you can always count on me

you're there when I fall
you'd help me be strong
even when I lost my faith
we're standing so tall
we made it through it all
we will keep it going strong
cause I feel it in the songs

you're there when I fall
you'd help me be strong
you're there when I fall
when we made it through it all

you're there when I fall
you'd help me be strong
even when I lost my faith
we're standing so tall
we made it through it all
we will keep it going strong
cause I feel it in the songs

how come everything
always has its way of turning
right back around again
like that night that she was leaving
And not believing that this time
Her fears were all just doubts

I'm never going back
I'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
I know that what you have's not what you are

what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are

I know this one felt right
but everytime I walk away I feel shut down inside
today is no exception
And tomorrow breaks again
But I can see that this will soon be over

I'm never going back
I'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are

what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are

I'm never going back
I'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
so you can deal with it

I'm never going back
there's nothing wrong with that
I'm never going back
find comfort in yourself

These times are tough
I know, but it's okay
'cause there are no directions
We'll make them up on the way
I was thinking back
To a time, I was afraid
It's not so long ago
In fact I think it's today

So why don't we start
Here with this broken heart?
'cause I can't fix it on my own

We've got to make this right
We've got to fix it tonight

Maybe we're growing up
Or apart, but it's okay
'cause while I'd love to stay now
I think it's time to run away
What else can I do?
I say and with that in mind
To make this last forever
I think we're running out of time

So why don't we start
Here with this broken heart?
'cause I can't fix it on my own

We've got to make this right
We've got to fix it tonight
We've got to make this right
We've got to fix it tonight

We've got to make this right
We've got to make this right
We've got to make this right
We've got to fix it tonight

We've got to make this right
We've got to fix it tonight
We've got to make this right
We've got to fix it tonight

Tell me (We've got to make this right)
You think
We'll get through everything (We've got to fix it tonight)
Tell me (We've got to make this right)
You think

I know you'll never lose
What's lost inside you
You're burning down the bridges you've crossed
And you're still around
So nothing's certain
Just let go
We deserve it
If I could chose
To start it over
I'd exercise more discretion
The lies are abound
So nothing's certain
Do you have good intentions?

Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
You don't fool anyone
Come on
Let go
If you want to take on
In years we'll say what happened to you

What gains have you earned
What friends have you trampled over
When you're around
Nothing's certain
Just let go
We deserve it

Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
You don't fool anyone
come on
Let go
If you want to take on
In years we'll say what happened to you

[Instrumental]

And you're still around
So nothing's certain
Just let go
We deserve it

You'll never lose
What's lost inside you
You're burning down the bridges you've crossed
And you're still around
So nothing's certain
Just let go
We deserve it

Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
Come on and let go
Come on and let go

Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
You don't fool anyone
Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
You don't fool anyone

Come on and let go
Come on and let go
Come on and let go
Come on and let go
Come on and let go
Come on and let go
Come on and let go
Come on and let go

Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
Come on
Let go
Of those affectations
