Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreamin' of what could be And if I'd end up happy I would pray
Trying hard to reach out But, when I tried to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanted to belong here But something felt so wrong here So I'd pray I could break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun But, I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away
Wanna feel the warm breeze Sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get on board a fast train Travel on a jet plane, far away And break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun I won't forget all the ones that I love I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away
Buildings with a hundred floors Swinging round revolving doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me But, gotta keep moving on, moving on Fly away, break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta Take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun But, I won't forget the place I come from I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away
Here's the thing, we started out friends It was cool but it was all pretend Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You're dedicated, you took the time Wasn't long 'til I called you mine Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say Is how I picture me with you That's all you'd ever hear me say
But since you been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah yeah Thanks to you Now I get What I want Since you been gone
How can I put it, you put me on I even fell for that stupid love song Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say I just wanna be with you Guess you never felt that way
But since you been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah yeah Thanks to you Now I get I get what I want Since you been gone
You had your chance, you blew it Out of sight, out of mind Shut your mouth, I just can't take it Again and again and again and again
Since you been gone (since you been gone) I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get I get what I want I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get (I get it) You should know (you should know) That I get I get what I want
Since you been gone Since you been gone Since you been gone
Seems like just yesterday, you were a part of me I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong Your arms around me tight, everything it felt so right Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong No, I can't breathe, no, I can't sleep I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything, opened up and let you in You made me feel alright, for once in my life Now all that's left of me, is what I pretend to be So together, but so broken up inside
Cause I can't breathe, no I can't sleep I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I've cried Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me, then spit me out For hating you, I blame myself Seeing you, it kills me now No, I don't cry on the outside anymore Anymore
Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes
I will not make the same mistakes that you did I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery I will not break the way you did You fell so hard I learned the hard way to never let it get that far Because of you I never stray too far from the side walk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side So I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust Not only me but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid I lose my way And it's not too long before you point it out I cannot cry Because I know that's weakness in your eyes I'm forced to fake a smile a laugh Every day of my life My heart can't possibly break When it wasn't even whole to start with Because of you I never stray too far from the side walk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side So I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust Not only me but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid I watched you die I heard you cry Every night in your sleep I was so young You should have known better than to lean on me You never thought of anyone else You just saw your pain And now I cry In the middle of the night Over the same damn thing Because of you I never stray too far from the side walk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I tried my hardest just to forget everything Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty Because of you I am afraid Because of you
What you see's not what you get With you there's just no measurement No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkled That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain You washed away the best of me You don't care You know you did it
I'm gone To find someone to live for in this world There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight Just a bridge that I gotta burn You are wrong If you think you can walk right through my door That is just so you Coming back when I've finally moved on I'm already gone
Sometimes shattered Never open Nothing matters When you're broken That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending, always over Back and forth, up and down, like a roller coaster I am breaking that habit today You know you did it
I'm gone To find someone to live for in this world There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight Just a bridge that I gotta burn You are wrong If you think you can walk right through my door That is just so you Coming back when I've finally moved on I'm already gone
There is nothing you can say Sorry doesn't cut it babe Take the hit and walk away 'Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do It's what you did that's hurting you All I needed was the truth Now I'm gone
What you see's not what you get What you see's not what you get
You know you did it
I'm gone To find someone to live for in this world There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight Just a bridge that I gotta burn You are wrong If you think you can walk right through my door That is just so you Coming back when I've finally moved on I'm already gone
It’s like you’re a drug It’s like you’re a demon I can’t face down It’s like I’m stuck It’s like I’m running from you all the time And I know I let You have all the power It’s like the only company I seek Is misery all around
It’s like you’re a leach Sucking the life from me It’s like I can’t breathe Without you inside of me And I know I let you Have all the power And I realize I’m never gonna Quit you over time
It’s like I can’t breathe It’s like I can’t see anything Nothing but you I’m addicted to you It’s like I can’t think Without you interrupting me In my thoughts In my dreams You’ve taken over me It’s like I’m not me It’s like I’m not me
It’s like I’m lost It’s like I’m giving up slowly It’s like you’re a ghost That’s haunting me Leave me alone And I know these voices in My head are mine alone And I know I’ll never change my ways If I don’t give you up now
I’m hooked on you I need a fix, I can’t take it Just one more hit I promise I can deal with it I’ll handle it, quit it Just one more time, then that’s it Just a little bit more to get me through this
I don't believe in the smile that you leave When you walk away and say goodbye Well, I don't expect the world to move underneath me But for God's sake, could you try I know that you're true to me You're always there, you say you care I know that you wanna be mine
Where is your heart, cause I don't really feel you Where is your heart, what I really want is to believe you Is it so hard to give me what I need I want your heart to bleed, that's all I'm asking for, oh Where is your heart
I don't undertsand, your love is so cold It's always me who's reaching out for your hand And I've always dreamed that love would be effortless Like a petal falling to the ground A dreamer following his dream
Where is your heart, cause I don't really feel you Where is your heart, what I really want is to believe you Is it so hard to give me what I need I want your heart to bleed, that's all I'm asking for, oh Where is your heart
It seems so much is left unsaid But you can say anything Oh, anytime you need Baby, it's just you and me, oh yeah
I know that you're true to me You're always there, you say you care I know that you wanna be mine
Where is your heart, cause I don't really feel you Where is your heart, what I really want is to believe you Is it so hard to give me what I need I want your heart to bleed, that's all I'm asking for, yeah
Where is your heart, cause I don't really feel you Where is your heart, what I really want is to believe you Is it so hard to give me what I need I want your heart to bleed, and that's all I'm asking for Where is your heart [4x]
You've got your mother and your brother Every other, undercover Telling you what to say You think I'm stupid But the truth is that it's cupid Baby, loving you has made me this way So before you point your finger Get your hand off of my trigger, oh yeah You need to know The situations getting old And now the more you talk the less I can take, oh
I'm looking for attention Not another question Should you stay or should you go? Well if you don't have the answer Why you still standing here? Hey, hey, hey, hey... just walk away Just walk away Just walk away
I waited here for you Like a kid waiting after school So tell me, how come you never showed? (show) I gave you everything And never asked for anything And look at me, I'm all alone (alone) So before you start defendin' Baby, stop all your pretendin'... I know you know I know So what's the point in being slow Let's get this show on the road today, hey...
I'm looking for attention Not another question Should you stay or should you go? Well if you don't have the answer Why you still standing here? Hey, hey, hey, hey... just walk away Just walk away Just walk away
I want a love, I want a fire To feel the burn, my desires I want a man by my side Not a boy who runs and hides Are you gonna fight for me, die for me Live and breathe for me Do you care for me Cause if you don't then just leave
I'm looking for attention Not another question Should you stay or should you go? Well if you don't have the answer Why you still standing here? Hey, hey, hey, hey... just walk away Just walk away Just walk away
If you don't have the answer (walk away) Walk away (just walk away) Just leave (walk away) Walk away
Is this a dream? If it is Please don't wake me from this high I'd become comfortably numb Until you opened up my eyes To what it's like When everything's right I can't believe
You found me When no one else was lookin' How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through All of my confusion The ups and the downs And you still didn't leave I guess that you saw what nobody could see You found me You found me
So, here we are That's pretty far When you think of where we've been No going back I'm fading out All that has faded me within You're by my side Now everything's fine I can't believe
You found me When no one else was lookin' How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through All of my confusion The ups and the downs And you still didn't leave I guess that you saw what nobody could see You found me You found me
And I was hiding 'Til you came along And showed me where I belong You found me When no one else was lookin' How did you know? How did you know?
You found me When no one else was lookin' How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through All of my confusion The ups and the downs And you still didn't leave I guess that you saw what nobody could see You found me
(You found me) (When no one else was lookin') You found me (How did you know just where I would be?) You broke through All of my confusion The ups and the downs And you still didn't leave I guess that you saw what nobody could see The good and the bad And the things in between You found me You found me
I woke up today Woke up wide awake In an empty bed Staring at an empty room I have myself to blame For the state I'm in today And now dying doesn't seem so cruel And oh, I don't know what to say And I don't know anyway, anymore
I hate myself for losing you I'm seeing it all so clear I hate myself for losing you What do you do when you look in the mirror And staring at you is why he's not here
You got what you deserved Hope you're happy now 'Cause every time I think of her with you It's killing me inside And now I dread each day Knowing that I can't be saved From the loneliness of living without you And oh, I don't know what to Not sure that I'll pull through I wish you knew
I hate myself for losing you And oh, I don't know what to do Not sure that I'll pull through I wish you knew, I wish you knew And oh, I don't know what to say And I don't know anyway, anymore No, no
What do you say, when everything you said Is the reason why he left you in the end How do you cry when every tear you shed Don't ever bring him back again
Hear me, hear me You gotta be out there You gotta be somewhere Wherever you are I'm waiting… 'Cause there are these nights when I sing myself to sleep And I'm hoping my dreams bring You close to me Are you listening?
Hear me I'm crying out I'm ready now Turn my world upside down Find me I'm lost inside this crowd It's getting loud I need you to see I'm screaming for you to please Hear me
Can you hear me?
I used to be scared of Letting someone in But it gets so lonely Being on my own With no one to talk to and No one to hold me I'm not always strong Oh I need you here
Hear me I'm crying out I'm ready now Turn my world upside down Find me I'm lost inside this crowd It's getting loud I need you to see I'm screaming for you to please Hear me
Are you listening? I'm restless and wild I fall but I try I need someone to understand (Can you hear me?) I'm lost in my thoughts And baby I've fought For all that I've got Can you hear me?
Hear me I'm crying out I'm ready now Turn my world upside down Find me I'm lost inside this crowd It's getting loud I need you to see I'm screaming for you to please Hear me
He drowns in his dreams An exquisite extreme, I know He's as damned as he seems And more heaven than a heart could hold If I tried to save him My whole world could cave in It just ain't right, it just ain't right
Oh and I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful Or just a beautiful disaster
He's magic and myth As strong as what I believe A tragedy with More damage than a soul should see And do I try to change him So hard not to blame him Hold on tight, hold on tight
Oh 'cause I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful Or just a beautiful disaster
I'm longing for love and the logical But he's only happy, hysterical I'm waiting for some kind of a miracle Waiting so long So long
He's soft to the touch But frayed at the ends, he breaks He's never enough And still he's more than I can take
Oh 'cause I don't know Don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful Or just a beautiful disaster
He's beautiful Such a beautiful disaster
Oh oh...beautiful Oh oh...beautiful disaster
