What Separates Me From You

I am fueled by all forms of failure I paid the price, so I'll take what's mine Oh, I bet ya didn't see that one coming 'Cause I do as I please, and apologize for nothing My time is flying, but I'm still second to none Always shining the brightest when I'm placed under the gun Goddamn! So here I stand The only son of a working-class man I won't be held back I can't be held down Where were you when my walls came falling down? They came falling down You tried to hide, you stood close by And didn't make a sound Say something Find you some paper, and I'll go grab you a pen You can start taking notes on how this all started again Been dead last, but found my way to the front With my inspirational quotes on why I never gave up, what? Where were you when my walls came falling down? They came falling down You tried to hide, you stood close by And didn't make a sound Where were you when it all came back around? It goes back around The reasons why you passed me by Will always hold you down Say something If you can't stand the pressure Stay the fuck out of my way, I know my place This one goes out to everyone who's lied to my face My heart is filled with hate I'm making a difference I'm taking a chance (a chance) You can say what you want about me But no one can tell me I can't Where were you when my walls came falling down? They came falling down You tried to hide, you stood close by And didn't make a sound Where were you when it all came back around? It goes back around The reasons why you passed me by Will always hold you down Say something

You brought your worst, and I'm right here I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear You're not the person that I knew back then (Back then) It's all too late to set things right, 'cause everything has been You're not the person that I knew back then (Back then) Let's try and act like this didn't happen Follow your friends, like you ever had them (You're not the person that I knew back then) (It's all too late to set things right, 'cause everything has been) (You're not the person that I knew back then) (Let's try and act like this didn't happen) (Follow your friends, like you ever had them)

Outta sight, outta mind is what you'll always be (Oh) I hold my cards to my chest I laid my life on the line, so I expect nothing less from you I speak the truth and everybody else knows it So set your ego to the side and just get the fuck over it Can't waste my time on hateful people like you So keep wishing you were me and I'll keep making you have to (Oh) Is anybody else listening? Outta sight, outta mind is what you'll always be (Oh) I hold my cards to my chest I laid my life on the line, so I expect nothing less from you I just can't believe it's really come to this Because without me, you would not exist Alright (Hey, hey) Still got something left to say Only one in the world that I depend on is me I need nothing from no one, I take what I need Get a hold of yourself, and keep away from me (Oh) Is anybody else listening?

I hate this town, it's so washed up And all my friends don't give a fuck Don't tell me that it's just bad luck When will I find where I fit in? ( Two, three, four ) Remember when I tried I never strayed too far from you Forever by your side No matter what I was going through But now, I never know the things to say to you That help me prove that I'm still on your side I never show just what you do to me Guess I was always wrong I hate this town, it's so washed up And all my friends don't give a fuck Don't tell me that it's just bad luck When will I find where I fit in? I hate this town 'Cause no one can understand I just can't be tied down Nothing comes between me and my plans So now, I never know the things to say to you That help me prove that I'm still on your side I never show just what you do to me Guess I was always wrong I hate this town, it's so washed up And all my friends don't give a fuck Don't tell me that it's just bad luck When will I find where I fit in? And don't believe a word they're telling to you Don't believe a word they're telling to you They let me down When will I find where I fit in? I hate this town Won't let a world gone mad ever bring me down Gave everything I had to turn it back around 'Cause our time's worth something Bigger than both you and me I can't live my life always backing down I gotta do this right, then they can't make a sound 'Cause I'm not here for nothing Least I can say I stand for something (You and me, we stand for something) I hate this town, it's so washed up And all my friends don't give a fuck Don't tell me that it's just bad luck When will I find where I fit in? And don't believe a word they're telling to you Don't believe a word they're telling to you They let me down When will I find where I fit in? I hate this town (I hate this town, I hate this town) (I hate this town, I hate this town)

I’m a mess, that's the best way to describe it Having no time to myself is the only way I can fight it When I'm alone it's like I'm staring into a mirror Don't know the person inside it and that's never been any clearer I miss your family and I miss all our friends If you had it to do over, would you do it over again? 'Cause I would, it means something more to me There's a hole in my heart where you used to be I still wish you the best of luck, baby And don't go thinking that this was a waste of time I couldn't forget you if I tried You killed what was left of the good in me I'm tired, so let me be broken Look down at the mess that's in front of me No other words need be spoken And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried Kept all of our past mistakes held inside I’ll live with regret for my whole life I confess that I brought this all on myself Condemned to suffer alone, like there's nobody else When you're gone, it's like a whole part of me’s missing So I'll keep living the lie and just hope that you're listening I tried to make us a life here But our foundation was built on sand No time to run until the damage was done And I've never had the upper hand I still wish you the best of luck, baby And don't go thinking that this was a waste of time I couldn't forget you if I tried You killed what was left of the good in me I'm tired, so let me be broken Look down at the mess that's in front of me No other words need be spoken And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried Kept all of our past mistakes held inside I’ll live with regret for my whole life All the things you love are all the things I hate How did we get here in the first place? Oh I play it cool, but it's hard to be (All my trust) Is slowly burning inside of me (Over what?) There can't be anymore progress, I know our fate The only thing that can heal this is time and space You killed what was left of the good in me I'm tired, so let me be broken Look down at the mess that's in front of me No other words need be spoken And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried Kept all of our past mistakes held inside I’ll live with regret for my whole life For my whole life

I've never felt so sober I've never felt the low that I feel tonight Your words made everything drag on and on I finally found her And when I did, I just couldn't make things right Is this really happening? Oh, God, I think I just ruined my life What the fuck am I doing? I can't tell the difference from wrong and right I second-guess my decisions 'Cause I haven't been this person in my whole life I think I need something new here When I keep longing for what I had No need for second opinions I do the best I can to ruin what I have, come on Don't think you've got to go it alone here I've got nothing left to hide You got time, just make up your mind I thought this was what you wanted Someone who gets everything right Gets everything right I thought this was what you wanted Someone to put you first in their life 'Cause we're running out of time Let's have three cheers for the new year (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Here's to hoping it's not as bad This wasn't part of my vision The optimist in me says we can make this last, but no You ruined my favorite records Listen to them and I think of you I just hope you remember All of the countless times that I believed in you, for what? Don't think you've got to go it alone here I've got nothing left to hide You got time, just make up your mind I thought this was what you wanted Someone who gets everything right Gets everything right I thought this was what you wanted Someone to put you first in their life 'Cause we're running out of time Just know that it kills me When I hear anything to do with you You won't see it, but believe me I need to be right where you are You know that I'm leaving And you won't hear till a year from now But this kills me 'Cause now I think that everything's, everything's about you I thought this was what you wanted Someone who gets everything right Gets everything right I thought this was what you wanted Someone to put you first in their life 'Cause we're running out of time Don't think you've got to go it alone here I've got nothing left to hide You got time, just make up your mind

Let's go! In the beginning, I was upfront Nothing to think about, you'd always hear me out We made a pact and never gave up When everything would change, we'd always stay the same Something went wrong along the way You come around and there's nothing left to say It's like we're strangers anyway What more could you ask of me? It's been a long time coming But everyone's going to hear me out If I leave, bet you'll wish I stayed Make you regret all the things you said to me You know that time can't help us now If I leave this, if I leave this way I've always been a man of action Never let anything keep a hold of me Could always tell when something's missing Like I knew everything, except for you and me I can't make you want to stay God knows I tried, but this broke under our weight I still gave it everything I guess I'll never catch my break It's been a long time coming But everyone's going to hear me now If I leave, bet you'll wish I stayed Make you regret all the things you said to me You know that time can't help us now You know that time can't help us now If I leave, I shall move away And try to right all the wrongs we've ever made Won't let your problems weigh me down If I leave this, if I leave this way Never thought you'd be the last one standing Never thought that we would come this far You'll always be there looking over my shoulder I've come to terms with exactly what we are Never thought you'd be the last one standing Never thought that we would come this far You'll always be there looking over my shoulder I've come to terms with exactly what we are If I leave, bet you'll wish I stayed Make you regret all the things you said to me You know that time can't help us now You know that time can't help us now If I leave, I shall move away And try to right all the wrongs we've ever made Won't let your problems weigh me down If I leave this, if I leave this way Never thought I'd be the last one standing Never thought that we would come this far You'll always be there looking over my shoulder When I leave this, when I leave this way, yeah!
