New Found Glory Album

I'm sick of smiling
And so is my jaw
Can't you see my frown is dropped way down
I'm sick of being someone I'm not
Please get me out of this slump
I'm sick of clapping
When I know I can do it better for myself
I'm sick of waiting
Sick of all these words that will never matter

I'll write these words together
Hoping for a chance to think on time
And I'm tracing over your letter
To see if your intentions are as good as mine

But you're
Getting worse
I swear it
It's hard to prove you're an understatement
You're getting worse
And I know
That you'll be calling
Calling, calling me again

I'm dumped with everything
That had the two of you
Don't worry your pictures are already burned
I'm dumped with new friends
Don't sell yourself short
You'll lose it in the end

I'll write these words together
Hoping for a chance to think on time
And I'm tracing over your letter
To see if your intentions are as good as mine

But you're
Getting worse
I swear it
It's hard to prove you're an understatement
You're getting worse
And I know
That you'll be calling
Calling, calling me again

I can't help how I feel
No I can't help how I feel

But you're
Getting worse
I swear it
It's hard to prove you're an understatement
You're getting worse
And I know
That you'll be calling
Calling, calling me again

Calling me again
Calling me again

But you're
Getting worse
I swear it
It's hard to prove you're an understatement
You're getting worse
And I know
That you'll be calling
Calling, calling me again

I’m drunk off your kiss
For another night in a row
This is becoming too routine for me
But I did not mean to lead you on
And it’s all right to pretend
That we still talk
It’s just for show, isn’t it
It’s my fault that it fell apart

Just maybe
You need this
And I didn’t mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what I've started
There’s no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you
(My friends over you)

Please tell me everything,
That you think that I should know
About all the plans we made
When I was never to be found
And it’s all right to forget
That we still talk
Its just for fun, isn’t it
It’s my fault that it fell apart

Cuz maybe you need this
And I didn’t mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what I've started
There’s no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you
(My friends over you)

Just maybe you need this
You need this…
And I didn’t mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what I've started
There’s no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you

I'm sorry I heard about the bad news
Today, a crowd of people around you
Telling you it's okay
And everything happens for a reason

When you loose a part of yourself
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
The pictures fade away
But memories forever

An empty chair at all those tables
And I'll be seeing you
And all my days boil down
But it's better where you're going anyway

I'm sorry I heard about the bad news
Today, it's really hard to get through
Tough times and long days
But it really just depends on the season

When you loose a part of yourself
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
The pictures fade away
But memories forever

An empty chair at all those tables
And I'll be seeing you
And all my days boil down
For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day
But it's better where you're going anyway

An empty chair at all those tables
And I'll be seeing you
And all my days boil down
For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day
But it's better where you're going anyway

Before you jump down my throat
I'd like to present you with
Something I call personality
Word travels fast when you're on the road
I'd like to think what I have is real

Sort this out on your own time
You ought to sort this out on your own time

Before you jump to conclusions
About all the friends I have
Just remember they were born that way
Word travels fast when her name's involved
I'd like to think what I have is real

Sort this out on your own time
Go on and sort this out on your own time

No matter how happy you are
You'll always want more
No matter how stupid I get
You'll always want more

I've been waiting for a good day
I've been holding back long enough
I've been hurting to tell you some things
It's not the falling of the temperature
That's making all our bones run cool
It's the breeze you make
The presence felt when you're around me

And it feels like I'm at an all-time low
Slightly bruised and broken
From our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
Another tragic case of feeling
Bruised and broken
From our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
Another tragic case

And I'm still waiting for a good day
I think I've held this long enough
I think it's safe to tell you some things
It's not just what you say to people
And it's not the way you look at me
It's the way you present yourself
For all your worst critics to see

And it feels like I'm at an all-time low
Slightly bruised and broken
From our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
Another tragic case of feeling
Bruised and broken
From our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
Another tragic case

Then you were gone
You were gone
All this time you just didn't know it yet
You were gone
All this time you just didn't know it yet
You were gone

And it feels like I'm at an all-time low
Slightly bruised and broken
From our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
Another tragic case of feeling
Bruised and broken
From our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
Another tragic case
Another tragic case of feeling
Bruised and broken
Another tragic case and I've been
Still waiting for a good day
Still waiting for a good day

It's been a summer

I'm cracked from my head down to my spine
Ready to self destruct
At any time
And I'm trying to convince myself that the way I'm feeling is all I have
It could take a lifetime
To realize that you're alright

(But you said)
I know when you will come back
It's been a summer
It's burning up in here
Even though the bed is cold on your side
I'd rather die than spend this night here without you
(Without you)

I would try to fix these flaws of mine
If I could just see you (if I could just see you)
For one more time
And I'm trying to convince myself that the way I'm feeling is all I have
I don't believe it sure fits
There's pity, but the truth brings:

I'll be the first one to know
If it's wrong for me to just let it go
I'll be the laughing stock of Florida
Person most likely to find it saddening
It's fate that made you want for me 'til this day

Tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget my name

Can you tell
That I'm losing myself
I think I'm trying too hard to
Let it show
To let you know
To trace your footsteps back to me

Cuz I've been gone for a long time
Waiting on the sidelines
Hoping for a chance to play
Well I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought i'd say

Tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget my name

Can you tell
That I don't know myself
I need someone to remind me
To let it go
Please let me know
To trace your footsteps back to me

Cuz I've been gone for a long time
Waiting on the sidelines
Hoping for a chance to play
well I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say

Tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget my name

And if I had the chance
To do it all again
I wouldn't expect anything less
And if I had the chance
To do it all again
I wouldn't expect
I wouldn't expect anything less

Tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
Tell all my friends that I'm dead
It won't be long before you forget my name

Forget my name

Living with me
I don't think it would be so bad
This is the first time this year
That I'm not going to make you mad
I'm tired of my conscious
Always telling me to stop slipping in
But I can't waste a second
On trains that will never begin

Everyone has a head upon their shoulders
We're losing our pride as we all get older
Everyone has to become their saviors
You might not get it right
Or you might realize that its too late

Don't back down
I'm over the past
Can't you see
Don't back down
I don't really care about before
Before you met me

Is it cool if I see you tonight
There's a thousand questions
I want to ask you
If you think that its alright

Everyone has a head upon their shoulders
We're losing our pride as we all get older
Everyone has to become their saviors
You might not get it right
Or you might realize that its too late

Don't back down
I'm over the past
Can't you see
Don't back down
I don't really care about before
Before you met me

So don't take anything for granted
Sit outside in the rain
An excuse you know I planned it
Every ending
It's all the same

Don't back down
I'm over the past
Can't you see
Don't back down
I don't really care about before
Before you met me

All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Thirty seconds till I pass
The questions you will never ask
Your regrets will haunt you
You know I never had to

But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything?
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will change your ways

I went to your house
But you weren't home
I'm sure you conveniently shut off your phone
I don't think that i'll ever be
The person that you want of me
When all that I can think about
It's you I have to figure out

But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways

I'm saving myself from you
Yeah I'm saving myself from you

All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Did you notice anything
That changes me?
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways

I think that all the years we shared were proof enough
To extend my hand and help you
I know that getting started can be rough
If you smile
You seem grateful
I felt good about myself
That's until the day you show me
You told me anybody else...

Why'd you have to go
And make me say these things about you
Why'd you have to turn around
After all that we've been through

I figured all the memories were proof enough
To let me open your eyes
For the people you you think hold your trust
Do you ever smile,
And find it shameful,
Because you don't know who you are?
I am glad you never told me...
You needed anybody else

What will you do when there's no one to fall back on?
I wont be there
I've learned my lesson
What will you do when there's no friends to fall back on?
Because they've all been stepped on

I never felt so bad
In my entire life
But this time I did it to myself
What do you expect from me
I did it
So what do you expect from me

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down

Let you down

September came so quickly
I want to prepare
I didn't mean to miss your birthday
What do you expect from me
I did it
So what do you expect from me

Why don't you

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down

Bridges will fall from under us
But we all strong
We'll (we'll) get through this
The end will open up (end will open up)
And try to pull up us in
But we'll (we'll) get through this
Get through this

So why don't you

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down

Let you down

I can't remember the time or place
Or what you were wearing
It's unclear about how we met
All I know is
It was the best conversation
That I've ever had
Til this day I've never found someone
With eyes as wide as yours
I've been searching up and down this coast
Overlooking what I need the most

Did you notice I was afraid
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today burns that story
And it starts are over again
The sky will never look the same again
Until you show me how it could be
The sky will never look the same again
Until you show me how it could be

And everything else is irrelevant to the story so far
I'm convinced that you look like her from afar
Is it true that you like to sleep alone
Or is it fun to just tell everyone

Did you notice I was afraid
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today burns that story
And it starts are over again
The sky will never look the same again
Until you show me how it could be
The sky will never look the same again
Until you show me how it could be

And when the world turns over
I'll keep my ears to the wall
And when the world turns over
I'll keep my feet straight on the ground

Did you notice I was afraid
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today burns that story
And it starts are over again
The sky will never look the same again
Until you show me how it could be
The sky will never look the same again
Until you show me how it could be
Until you show me how it could be
Until you show me how it could be
