Your best is not good enough (Day) Day of reflection (After day) Life of rejection (Slip away) Sometimes I need to (Slip away) Want you (Say) Say that you'll help me (Say) Please, don't you let me (Slip away) Sometimes I need to (Slip away) Are you so far gone? (Every time it starts, I try to slip away) So far gone (Every time it starts) Finally when I'm at my end (Something inside is gonna break you, stand up) Nothing's like it was before I so wish I could just pretend (Something inside is gonna break you, stand up) But there's nothing left to adore (Time) To be remembered (After time) Something I'll never (I find) Whatever I do (Defy) Do you (Take) World that I live in (And take) I'll never give in (Slip away) Whatever I do (Slip away) Love you So far gone (Every time it starts, I try to slip away) So far gone (Every time it starts) Finally when I'm at my end (Something inside is gonna break you, stand up) Nothing's like it was before I so wish I could just pretend (Something inside is gonna break you, stand up) But there's nothing left to adore Something inside is gonna break you, stand up (Something inside is gonna make me stand up) Something inside is gonna break you, stand up (Something inside is gonna make me stand up) Something inside is gonna break you, stand up (Something inside is gonna make me stand up) I don't understand this world that we are living in People give you things so they can take them back again I don't want to be part of history, I just want my life to be the way that it should be Every now and then I find a way to slip away Every now and then there's only so much I can take If I find a way, I would leave today (Way) Day of reflection (Home) Life of rejection I don't know if I can find my (Way) Say that you'll help me (Home) Please don't you let me Though it's hard, sometimes I still try (Way) Day of reflection (Home) Life of rejection I don't know if I can find my way (Way)

Underneath the sun We measure our lives in years, but they don't mean much Always fading away the things we can't touch I didn't want you to go, I didn't want you to stay I didn't want you to know what was inside of me We measure our lives in years, but they don't mean much Always fading away the things we can't touch I never told you a lie, I never meant to deceive I never gave you the time, or led you to believe Let it go, let it go I'm all alone, so far away, under the sun (Sometimes you stay, sometimes you run) Don't want to be the only one underneath the sun We measure our lives in years, but they don't mean much Always fading away the things we can't touch I'm never seeing it through, I'm always walking away Maybe I don't believe that it's inside of me We measure our lives in years, but they don't mean much Always fading away the things we can't touch I can't believe that I'm lost, I don't know how to survive I can't believe that I'm here and that I'm still alive Let it go, let it go I'm all alone, so far away, under the sun (Sometimes you stay, sometimes you run) Don't want to be the only one underneath the sun Sometimes I feel I'm on my way, sometimes I feel I'm on my own It's harder and harder every day, nobody wants to be alone I'm all alone, under the sun (Sometimes I feel I'm on my way, sometimes I feel I'm on my own ) Don't want to be the only one (It's harder and harder every day, nobody wants to be alone) I'm all alone, so far away, under the sun (Sometimes you stay, sometimes you run) Don't want to be the only one underneath the sun I was looking for myself, got lost along the way Now it feels like someone else has got control of me

I was thinking back today, and I remember everything Like all the things we used to say I will be, and I will show Follow me wherever I go But that was so long ago, you assume that I've forgotten, but how could I ever forget you? I know I'm having trouble letting go, though it was so long ago I was over you today, but now I've dug up everything Sometimes it seems so hard to face I will be, and I will show Follow me wherever I go But that was so long ago, you assume that I've forgotten, but how could I ever forget you? I know I'm having trouble letting go, though it was so long ago You're the sunlight on my face, and you're the one I can't replace Everything just seems to fall apart without a trace (I will be) You're the sunlight on my face (And I will show) And you're the one I can't replace (Follow me wherever I go) Everything just seems to fall apart without a trace But that was so long ago, you assume that I've forgotten, but how could I ever forget you? I know I'm having trouble letting go, though it was so long ago But that was so long ago, you assume that I've forgotten, but how could I ever forget you? I know I'm having trouble letting go, though it was so long ago

I just want you to know that I want you to be safe Was it fate? No, I can't remember So much pain in the world, I hate feeling this way They took you away I wish that I could be strong, I wish that I could be brave, I wish that I could be over and over True to the world, another summer fades away Forever beautiful, don't ever think that I could not appreciate We all come full circle Whatever I'm to give, I'll only complicate I just want you to know, it isn't easy to face It's growing vague, but I will remember I hear your voice every day, it doesn't seem quite the same Took you away from me I wish that you weren't gone, I wish that you could be saved, I wish that you could be over and over True to the world, another summer fades away Forever beautiful, don't ever think that I could not appreciate We all come full circle Whatever I'm to give, I'll only complicate This isn't over, there's no way I'm still denying everything This can't be right, and possibly, I don't know if I'll ever Forever beautiful, don't ever think that I could not appreciate We all come full circle Whatever I'm to give, I'll only complicate

I saw a vision of you (today) And I won't do anything to make you feel betrayed Can't find the time to look inside And realize that I can't hide I can't be me unless you're there This situation's so unfair I look at you and tell myself That you're with me and no one else You need some help If not for you than for myself It's hard to be honest with myself I need some time so I can figure out So I won't be ordinary (ordinary) I solved the mystery of you (today) And I don't show everything to everyone that way Can't find the time to look inside And realize that I can't hide I can't be me unless you're there This situation's so unfair I look at you and tell myself That you're with me and no one else You need some help If not for you than for myself It's hard to be honest with myself I need some time so I can figure out So I won't be ordinary (ordinary) I solved the mystery of you (today) And I don't show everything to everyone that way I can't decide if I'm all right I feel inside I need some help But I'll deny the things I hide If not for you than for myself I know there's better ways to be It's not easy and it's hard It's hard to be honest with myself I need some time so I can figure out So I won't be ordinary So I won't be ordinary 'Cause I'm not ordinary

They say it's true, something's not right They laugh at you (Hurting all the time and you just don't know why) Destined to lose, it's not right What can you do?

It's not right You make it through (Hurting all the time and you just don't know why) They don't know you, not inside They have issues (Fighting all the time has made them lose their insight) It's alright, it's okay, you're never far away It's so real, it's so right, this is the last time It's alright, it's okay, you're never far away It's so real, it's so right, this is the last time This is the last time, this is the last time So fall asleep (Hurting all the time and you just don't know why) Be peaceful as you lay Forget about the world, you're going to be okay It's alright, it's okay, you're never far away It's so real, it's so right, this is the last time It's alright, it's okay, you're never far away It's so real, it's so right, this is the last time This is the last time, this is the last time, this is the last time (Hurting all the time and you just don't know why) They say it's true, something's not right They laugh at you (Hurting all the time and you just don't know why)

Reach out, nothing's there, I can't see Black out, gets so cold I can't breathe Who's there? I'm sweating, though I'm freezing I'm scared, I'm venting, releasing Rewind, just enough to know what's behind Does anybody know trust? In fact, has anybody seen me? Look back, life is but a daydream Satellite's receiving, are all my loved ones grieving? And does it matter at all? If I was brave enough to fall, I'd find the answers But now my back's against the wall, forever Big world and I am feeling small, the slow are faster And I know I don't have it all together Today everybody's slacking Within, I wish that I was back in High school where everything's easy No cares, just childhood teasing In fact, now it gets depressing Relax, everything is stressing I don't know if I can take this But I'm somehow gonna make it through Satellite's receiving, are all my loved ones grieving? And does it matter at all? If I was brave enough to fall, I'd find the answers But now my back's against the wall, forever Big world and I am feeling small, the slow are faster And I know I don't have it all together Go ahead and look at me now It's like I'm stuck in between Getting up or just falling down Is anyone there to catch me? Satellite's receiving, are all my loved ones grieving? And does it matter at all? If I was brave enough to fall, I'd find the answers But now my back's against the wall, forever Big world and I am feeling small, the slow are faster And I know I don't have it all together If I was brave enough to fall (Together) Let's fall together

Jilted from a place in the back of my mind, there's no time for a reconcile Tilted in a way that I cannot define, gonna take what I know is mine Close your eyes and watch me fly, everything I've left behind All I want is piece of mind, disconnected How in the world did I get so free? Nothing's gonna get to me, 'cause I'm far too happily disconnected Deny all the shame that you're feeling inside, runaway from the sense you hide Don't try, we don't all suffer from lack of pride, so get back to your so-called life Close your eyes and watch me fly, everything I've left behind All I want is piece of mind, disconnected How in the world did I get so free? Nothing's gonna get to me, 'cause I'm far too happily disconnected All of my life, answering to someone else Living to die, never asked for your help Buried inside, it was here once, nevermore Nowhere to hide, I'm still alive, won't die To get rid of this pain, I gotta fight, fight To get rid of you is my right, right Take it away, I don't need this anymore It's time to delay my disconnected life Close your eyes and watch me fly, everything I've left behind All I want is piece of mind, disconnected How in the world did I get so free? Nothing's gonna get to me, 'cause I'm far too happily disconnected Close your eyes and watch me fly, everything I've left behind All I want is piece of mind, disconnected How in the world did I get so free? Nothing's gonna get to me, 'cause I'm far too happily disconnected

Go get some Say what You've always had so much to say Tell everybody else what you think of me I'm beggining to think that I'm here in the brink Of the shit that you bring You always told a lie! But you're not the hardest I met Be gettin' what I got next The shit that you start The fuckin' games that you play Now I'm given a right to go in-fuckin'-sane Frustration starts the burning And then the burn starts turning So close to being SICK I'm so fucking sick I don't want to GO I can't take your shit but have to But cannot stand your fuckin' face Cuz I remember the past I can't erase Now I'm starting to feel that everything isn't real And all the people around me, they fucking grow and break But you're not the hardest I met You be gettin' what I got next The shit that you start The fuckin' games that you play Now I'm given a right to go in-fuckin'-sane Frustration starts the burning And then the burn starts turning And growing and burning and yearning and turning My anger turns in knotted So much I almost lost it So close to being SICK I'm so fucking sick I don't want to GO I can't take your shit but have to SICK!

I believe that I'm hanging by a string And I'm feeling so small in a world full of big things Undone and I'm ready to explode on the things I don't know And I just want to let go Understand that the way that I am Is a product of the scam that you pulled on the last man Undone and I'm ready to explode on the things I don't know And I just want to let go Surprise my eyes were open Don't suffocate what's broken Are you ever done? Are you ever free? Silence makes me numb without you You believe that you're changing everything And you're feeling so tall that you can't even see me Undone and I'm ready to explode on the things I don't know And I just want to let go Understand that the way that I am Is a product of the way that you underplay my hand Undone and I'm ready to explode on the things I don't know And I just want to let go Surprise my eyes were open Don't suffocate what's broken Are you ever done? Are you ever free? Silence makes me numb without you How can this go on? Take it all from me Silence makes me numb without you 2x Never meant to cause you pain Fighting, aggravation Causing suffocation I won't let you Surprise my eyes were open Don't suffocate what's broken Are you ever done? Are you ever free? Silence makes me numb without you How can this go on? Take it all from me Silence makes me numb without you

Finally recover when the mood is right Looking up into a neon sky Child in me takes over Guess, it's been too long since the last time that I tried to fly Finally, I find, when I lose control Inside my body crumbles It's like therapy for my broken soul Inside my body crumbles All I need's a moment Chance to get away from the stressfulness of every day Know if I don't question, and I never doubt Everything is gonna be okay Finally, I find, when I lose control Inside my body crumbles It's like therapy for my broken soul Inside my body crumbles I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright Is it okay to be myself? (I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright) Why do we always have to fight? (I don't know if I'll be alright, now I know it's-) It's alright Finally, I find, when I lose control Inside my body crumbles It's like therapy for my broken soul Inside my body crumbles (I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright) It's like therapy for my broken soul (I don't know if I'll be alright, now I know-) Inside my body crumbles Aha, oh, aha, oh Aha, oh, aha, oh

I don't wanna talk, you're too busy gone, you're too busy being strong You can never guide, I dunno how to hide I confide, something's wrong What is it you see when you look at me? Am I all you hoped I'd be? Or have I become the ungrateful son? You know, the one you speak of I remember back to when I was young, there was so much going on We were very tight, now we always fight I confide, something's wrong Nothing's ever good, nothing's ever pure as you slam another door Who am I to be, what will I become? I'm not a child anymore Follow me out, into the world Wish there was someway for me to be heard More that we shout, further I am We do this over and over again To tell the truth, I've been getting through, everytime I pass through you I've been moving on, finally belong I confide, something's wrong Maybe we can mend in a couple years after all the air has cleared But I think for now i'll be moving on, I gotta learn to be strong Follow me out, into the world Wish there was someway for me to be heard More that we shout, further I am We do this over and over again Why, why did you? Why, why did you? Why, why did you turn away? Why, why did you? Why, why did you? Why, why did you turn away? Why, why did you? Why, why did you? Why, why did you turn away? Tell me what you see when you look at me? Am I all you hoped I'd be? You don't have the right, everything is fine, because I can confide Follow me out, into the world Wish there was someway for me to be heard More that we shout, further I am We do this over and over again Why, why did you? Why, why did you? Why? We do this over and over again Why? Why did you? Why, why did you? Why? We do this over and over again
