Maybe

sound off
the only way
same fight
as yesterday
maybe the course corrects
it’s just too soon to tell
last night
before the storm
no cause
for alarm
but over a single evening
it just went off the rails
maybe
you can tell
in the end no thanks to you
we’ve been beaten black and blue
from the moment that I could see
I needed you to carry me
shout out
the enemy
standing
next to me
trying the little patience
left in the reserves
maybe
you should know
moments after the attack
not a chance to take it back
maybe
you should say
after all that we’ve been through
that there’s still more work to do
from the moment that I could see
I needed you to carry me
nothing more for me to do
I can’t talk to you know who
I feel like running away
don’t remember how
the world turned upside down
I feel like running away
from the moment I was free
needed you to carry me
from the moment that I could see
I needed you to carry me
from the moment I could see
I needed you to carry me

If there was a way
If there was a way out
Well you could be the first one
Waiting in line
You don’t like change
So why you wanna get out
When everything that’s beautiful
Is hard to define
Oh, I know, I know, I know I’ve been wrong
So wrong before but I assure you this time
If you walk away alone it will have me screaming please
If you need me I’ll be here
But if you want to disappear
It would be wrong to stay
I guess some things are better this way
I know you’re scared
But you can’t keep running
We can think of something
And make it alright
To lose this game
Not all is wasted
‘Cause what we are saving
Is still worth the fight
Oh, I know, I know, I know I’ve been wrong
So wrong before but I assure you this time
If you walk away alone it will have me screaming please
If you need me I’ll be here
But if you want to disappear
It would be wrong to stay
I guess some things are better this way
If you need me I’ll be here
But if you want to disappear
It would be wrong to stay
I guess some things are better this way
Am I making myself clear
You shouldn’t have to waste a year
To watch your dreams all fade
I guess some things are better this way
I guess some things are better this way
I guess some things are better this way

Years and years ago
Back when I thought I knew it all
Gravity reminded me
How far I had to fall
Once I figured out
What the world was all about
The walls I built to keep things in
Were crumbling with doubt
If nothing lasts forever
Why does it have to hurt so bad
When you're holding on to something
You never really had
If questions go unanswered
It just keeps me moving on
I never wanna miss your birthday parties
I just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want are things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry again
Time keeps moving on
So many friends have come and gone
History reminded me
To know when I was wrong
And all the lessons that I've learned
Like giving up is to get burned
I chased away what followed me
You can't steal what I have earned
If nothing lasts forever
Why does it have to hurt so bad
When you're holding on to something
You never really had
If questions go unanswered
It just keeps me moving on
I never wanna miss your birthday parties
I just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want are things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry again
I tried a million times
Still looking for a sign
That makes it all seem real
It's all too real
I never wanna miss your birthday parties
I just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want are things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry
(Holding onto something you never had, you never had)
I never wanna miss your birthday parties
I just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want are things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry again

My Own Reflection
03:34
|

it’s hard enough to stay awake
let alone to motivate
but we do this everyday
put the pieces into place
and every day some blood will spill
needles, strips and water pills
I’ll just have to find the will
to push that boulder up the hill
anyway, I didn’t wanna be
the topic of conversation
what’s to say?
I’m gonna have to speak
to the man in my own reflection
just in case you haven’t heard
the situation’s gotten worse
the heart will beat until it bursts
it’s really gonna fucking hurt
anyway, I didn’t wanna be
the topic of conversation
what’s to say?
I’m gonna have to speak
to the man in my own reflection
all the afterlife affirming
makes me wonder why we go on?
