Verse1
You had to open up that door
It's never gonna be the way it was before
So what do we fight for
Do we always have to even up that score

Pre-Chorus
I don't know where we went wrong
I don't know where we belong
Tell me why we are so lost
Will we decide which side we're on

Chorus
And now it's on we're fighting
Fire with fire
The flames are burning burning
Higher and higher
It always has to be an eye for an eye
Justice remains the one and only desire
Fighting fire with fire
You do to me like I do to you
I do to you like you do to me
Fighting fire with fire
Fire with fire

Verse 2
There's a feeling deep inside
It's way to hard to ever push aside
It's all that's on your mind
I wanna give in but I can't this time

Pre-Chorus
I don't know where we went wrong
I don't know where we belong
Tell me why we are so lost
Will we decide which side we're on

Chorus
And now it's on we're fighting
Fire with fire
The flames are burning burning
Higher and higher
It always has to be an eye for an eye
Justice remains the one and only desire
Fighting fire with fire
You do to me like I do to you
I do to you like you do to me
Fighting fire with fire
Fire with fire

Bridge
You aren't backing down backing down
And I ain't giving into you
There's no more common ground common ground
You broke the only golden rule

Chorus
And now it's on we're fighting
Fire with fire
The flames are burning burning
Higher and higher
It always has to be an eye for an eye
Justice remains the one and only desire
Fighting fire with fire
You do to me like I do to you
I do to you like you do to me
Fighting fire with fire
Fire with fire

. . .


Verse 1
You're broken down inside
But won't give up the fight
These empty eyes I see
Are staring back at me
If you pull me out, I won't let you down

Chorus
Invisible
You're beautiful
Walking through this world we call our home
Invisible
Wont let you go
Now I know I'm starting to feel you

Verse 2
My failure makes me hate
Am I already late
And every day I crave
The touch of your embrace
But now I see, what you mean to me

Bridge
Invisible
You're beautiful
Invisible
Just like me
(repeat all)

. . .


My past has followed me in
I just can't get away
I'm not the same as I was
Leaving my disarray

(Save me just as I am)
I'm broken down
(Pull me into your arms)
I'm hanging on
To every word

Save me from losing myself
I'm hanging on by a thread
Can you see who I am
Underneath my scars?
I'm afraid you'll fall
So I'm holding on to you
No, I won't let go
I'm hanging on by a thread

I still can hardly believe
The person I once was
I'm trying so hard to change
Help me work through my bonds

(Save me just as I am)
I'm calling out
(Pull me into your arms)
And I'm holding on
To every breath

Save me from losing myself
I'm hanging on by a thread
Can you see who I am
Underneath my scars?
I'm afraid you'll fall
So I'm holding on to you
No, I won't let go
I'm hanging on by a thread

I'll never need
I'll never want
With you with me
I'm so complete
I'll never run
I'll never hide
With you right here
I'm safe inside

Save me from losing myself

I'm afraid you'll fall
So I'm holding on to you
No, I won't let go

Save me from losing myself
I'm hanging on by a thread
Can you see who I am
Underneath my scars?
I'm afraid you'll fall
So I'm holding on to you
No, I won't let go
I'm hanging on by a thread

. . .


Verse 1
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Hoping, praying You hear me
Screaming inside to ease the pain
Save me, keep me alive

Pre-Chorus
I'm not afraid anymore
Of what I don't know

Chorus
Believe, in the unknown (I put my faith, in the unknown)
Believe, in God alone (I put my hope, in God alone)
Have faith in what you don't know

Verse 2
Sometimes I feel like I have to cry
Until my emotions have run dry
I'm breaking inside to hide the pain
Save me, keep me alive

Bridge
I know you're here
I can feel you now
I know your love embraces me

Vamp
Give up all your sorrow
Have faith in what you don't know
In God alone
Have faith in what you don't know
You don't know

. . .


Verse 1
I'm wide awake and you look perfect next to me
This photograph, I look so deep sometimes I hear you breathe
I'm here alone, try'n to hang onto my soul
But the distance takes its toll, you know, you know

Pre-Chorus
I'm out here doin' all I can
You make me everything I am
Give me strength to get through somehow
I keep praying that it wont be long now

Chorus
There'll come a day
When I can hold you and say its forever
There'll come a day
When these broken lives fade back together
There'll come a day
When we won't feel like this
I'll find my way
There'll come a day (end 2x)

Verse 2
I've seen enough things I wish I could erase
I shut my eyes and take myself back to a safer place
Where I can live the life I left behind
But as long as you're still mine, all mine, all mine

Pre-Chorus
Im out here doin' all I can
You make me everything I am
Give me strength I won't let you down
I keep hoping that it won't be long now

Bridge
Ive stood for all that I believe in
Time now to start that healing
Take back the stolen time
Take back my life

. . .


Verse 1
Please tell me what went wrong
Wasn't I there for you
Shedding my tears for you
I never trusted you
You stuck your knife in me
You tried to make me bleed

Pre-Chorus
You're not sorry
Still not sorry

Chorus
You are my disease
You keep on killing me
I never shoulda let you in my heart
I'm trying to believe
You're not the end of me
I'm better off without you

Verse 2
Don't think you're coming back
I put my faith in you
Wasted my time on you
Twisted words, crooked lies
Everything that you did
Led me straight to my grave

Pre-Chorus
You're not sorry
Still not sorry

Chorus
You are my disease
You keep on killing me
I never shoulda let you in my heart
I'm trying to believe
You're not the end of me
I'm better off without you

. . .


Verse 1
Too many times, you hurt me
You said its love was I crazy
I always knew it was wrong
Why did I fall for you

Chorus
No more looking back
I don't think I can
Keep on going through all this with you
Trying to forget
All the things you said
I keep coming back to what you did
I'm letting go
I'm letting you know I'm just fine
Without you

Verse 2
I'm trying to clear my mind
From the past wasted time
I finally see
Since you're gone
Why did I fall for you

Bridge
I'm just fine, without you
I'm just fine

. . .


If I could find yesterday
I would take You back to where I'm coming from
Cause You can see the way
All these scars have kept me running
And chasing down the past
But I'm not done, I'm turning back

I swear, You're the only reason I keep breathing
I swear, You keep on giving me the reason to keep believing
Finally I'm worth it, though I'm not perfect
It still feels right, and I keep on giving
Trying to make a difference, in my life
But I know another way to show
Everything I can be for You
You're all that I'll ever need
I'll give you the Best of Me

If I could read tomorrow's mind
I would know exactly where You're taking me
If I'm going to slip away
Or if I stay and give You all my trust
You will keep me safe
I know You won't let me fade

I swear, You're the only reason I keep breathing
I swear, You keep on giving me the reason to keep believing
Finally I'm worth it, though I'm not perfect
It still feels right, and I keep on giving
Trying to make a difference, in my life
But I know another way to show
Everything I can be for You
You're all that I'll ever need
I'll give you the Best of Me

Oh, I know I believe it
No, I will be turning around
I want to know You now
Your Love won't let me down, no!

I swear, You're the only reason I keep breathing
I swear, You keep on giving me the reason to keep believing

Finally I'm worth it, though I'm not perfect
It still feels right, and I keep on giving
Trying to make a difference, in my life
But I know another way to show
Everything I can be for You
You're all that I'll ever need, Woah oh!

Finally I'm worth it, though I'm not perfect
It still feels right, and I keep on giving
Trying to make a difference, in my life
But I know another way to show
Everything I can be for You
You're all that I'll ever need
I'll give you the Best of Me

I'll give You the Best of Me!

I swear, You're the only reason I keep breathing
I swear...

. . .


Verse 1
Everyday you accuse me
But I've done nothing wrong
You put me down like I'm the enemy
Why's it so hard for you
Why don't you understand
I'm not the one who's killing you

Chorus
All I want is for you to
Breathe me in again
And all I want to tell you is
I still love you
And all I want is for you to
Just believe in me
Why wont you
Breathe me in

Verse 2
You take advantage of me
Cause I won't turn you down
Once you get what you want
You push me to the side
Why do you try to hurt me
It's only hurting you
I've always been right here waiting

Bridge
Breathe me in (2x)

. . .


I don't care about you
I don't care about you
Anymore

You hurt me, lied to me
You earned my trust but then you
Betrayed me, my family
You wanted all control
So you cut down everyone
Who ever stepped in your way
I'm moving on

I don't care about you
I don't care about you
No I don't care about you anymore
I forgive you now I'm moving on
Moving on
Moving on

Consumed by selfishness
You wanted nothing less then
To see me leave because
I ruined all your plans
So you spread lies
Compromise me and the family's very lives
I'm done with you

I don't care about you
I don't care about you
No I don't care about you anymore
I forgive you now I'm moving on

You're left in the past
But I'm not looking back
Anymore

I don't care about you
I don't care about you anymore
I forgive you now I'm moving on
I don't care, I don't care about you. Moving on
I don't care, I don't care about you anymore
I forgive you now I'm moving on
I forgive you now I'm moving on!
I don't care, I don't care about you
I don't care, I don't care about

. . .


Verse 1
Saw a man on the street
Would you, notice if he was gone the next day
Another girl passes by
Barely 15, with a baby on the way
In the paper today,
There was, a school shooting just like those before
When he arrived at work
They said pack your things
Your job's gone

Pre-Chorus
Look around
Have we lost ourselves

Chorus
I believe there's, more to this
So much, more to this
Do you? Whoa
I believe there's, more than this
So much, more than this
Do you? Whoa

Verse 2
She was watching the news
There was, an attack leaving hundreds more dead
Got a call from the bank
They are overdrawn, with more bills to pay

Bridge
Do you see the pain
Can you hear the cries
Is it too late
Do you see them now
Will you help somehow
Can you feel their pain
Do you see the tears
In their sad eyes
Will you help them now
Will you just reach out

. . .


Intro
I think I care
Too much for you
Why am I still here

Verse 1
I trusted you
You threw it back at me
I fell in love
I fell down on my face
For years I wondered, what I saw in you
I'm seeking forgiveness, from those you made me loose

Pre-Chorus
I'm done with you
I'm standing on my own

Chorus
I think I care too much for you
Why am I still here
You told me to go away (tell me why you're still here)
Still I decide to stay
I think I care too much

Verse 2
You took my life
And threw it all away
You broke my heart
And let me bleed to death
You took advantage of what I had to give
I'm taking it back now, and leaving you behind

Bridge
Weird voices talking
Why

. . .


Verse 1
I see the tear stains on your eyes
I know your hiding away from life
You can't break away
It's holding you so tight
I see the pain you've held inside
And you're believing all the lies
It's destroying you inside

Chorus
Take back your life
Don't give it up
Take back your dreams
Don't waste them
Take back your faith
You'll find it there
Take back your right to live alive

Verse 2
I see you fade away from me
I know you're struggling just to breathe
You're so wounded turn around
It's time to come alive
Think of memories long ago
Think of the life we used to know
I'd give up everything to bring you back

Chorus
Take back your life
Don't give it up
Take back your dreams
Don't waste them
Take back your faith
You'll find it there
Take back your right to live alive
