I've become tired of wasting my time
Thinking about choices that I've made
Cause I can't move forward while looking behind
The only thing I can do now is
Change the way
That I used to be
Cause now it seems
Crystal clear to me

Yes you're so much more
Than a memory
Yes you're so much more
Than a memory

It wasn't fair
For me just to go
And act like I know what you've been through
Cause I wasn't fair
And I'll never know
I couldn't see from your point of view
But I'm doing all I can
For you to see
That I understand
That I understand

You're so much more
Than a memory
Yes you're so much more
Than a memory
So don't close the door
On what still can be
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory

Please don't go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
I know that I was wrong
I was wrong

You are so much more
Than a memory (Memory)
Yes you're so much more
Than a memory (Memory)

So don't close the door
On what still can be
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory

Please don't go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
I know that I was wrong

Please don't go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
I know that I was wrong
I was wrong

I thought it wasn't wrong
To hide from you
Simple truth
I was scared
I'd felt it all along
But it hurt too much for me to share
If only I
Had been less blind
I'd have someone to hold onto
If only I
Could change your mind
If only I had known
If only I had you
I finally understand
Why things have happened
And how it all could go so wrong
Will this pain ever end
Cause I don't think I can carry on
If only I
Had been less blind
I'd have someone to hold onto
If only I
Could change your mind
If only I had known
If only I had you
If only I
Had been less blind
I'd have someone to hold onto (I won't let go)
If only I
Could have spoke my mind
If only it were true
(We could start brand new)
I know I'd make it through
If only I had you
If only I had you
If only I had you

We`ve walked together down this winding road
Searching of something true
Together we grew

But now our journey has come to an end
And it`s on to something new
For me and you

So goodbye my friend, until we meet again
Some other day, I know so much will change
But looking back I can say
I wouldn`t change a day
I hope you can say the same


So many memories we got to make
And the challenges we met
I`ll never forget
`Cause those lessons made us who we are today
And we`re taking the next step, without a regret
No regrets


So goodbye my friend, until we meet again
Some other day, I know so much will change
But looking back I can say
I wouldn`t change a day
I hope you can say
I hope you can say the same


All I`m telling you (All I`m telling you)
When I get through the end
I would do it again, do it again
All I`m telling you (All I`m telling you)
When I get through the end
I would do it again, do it again


Goodbye my friend, until we meet again
Some other day, I know so much will change
But looking back I can say
I wouldn`t change a day
I hope you can say
I hope you can say


That you understand the only life we have
Is here in now, not up in the cloud
With every breathe we can say
It has a brand new day
I know I can say
I know I can say
I know I can say the same

I still remember the time
When this all felt like a dream
So completely out of reach
Frustrating
We kept our nose to the grind
Make the days turn into weeks
Hoping time will heal the pain of waiting
How it seems so long ago

Just look back on
How far we've come
We made it somehow
Look where we are now
All we've done
Our battles won
We made it somehow
Look where we are now

I used to wonder if I
Would ever have the chance to be
Something more than what you see
I doubt it
We learn to open our eyes
Now I both think we'd agree
That we're better off than when we started
There's still so much left to go

Just look back on
How far we've come
We made it somehow
Look where we are now
All we've done
Our battles won
We made it somehow
Look where we are now

And the best is yet to come
Cause our story isn't done
No
No
No
No
Oh
Oh woo
Oh woo

Just look back on (Look back on)
How far we've come
We made it somehow
Look where we are now
All we've done (All we've done)
Our battles won
We made it somehow
Look where we are now
Look where we are now
No
No
No
No
No
Look where we are now
Look where we are now
No
No

Don't tell me that you are ready to change.
Don't tell me that from now it won't be the same.
It doesn't matter, 'cause at the end of the day,
it isn't what you say, it's what you do!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.
Don't tell me you'll make things better for us.
Don't tell me that you're some one I can trust.
It doesn't mean a thing to me because,
it isn't what you say, it's what you do!
Your actions will speak louder than you!
What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

So show me that you really figured it out.
And show me everything that you are about.
But if you can't then just shut your mouth!..
'cause I don't care what you say or what you do,
You can't take back what you've put me through.
Your actions will speak louder than you!..
What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.
What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.
What you keep will last forever.
What you keep will last forever.
Forever...

WHOOOOO
Wake up, our life is calling
We're smoke, but not a fire
Give us a sign that we're alive
Snap out of indecision
Have we been hypnotized
To think that everything's alright?

(The clock is counting down)
The clock is counting down
(The seconds tick away)
The seconds tick away

This is our time
Without a doubt
Time to ignite
We're not going down
(Without a fight)
This is our time
Get up off the ground
Take what is mine
We're not going down
Without a fight

Let's go, the curtain's opened
Get this show on the road
I want to feel my heart explode
No more procrastination
Dragging my feet below
Now I want everyone to know

(The clock is counting down)
The clock is counting down
(The seconds tick away)
The seconds tick away

This is our time
Without a doubt
Time to ignite
We're not going down
(Without a fight)
This is our time
Get up off the ground
Take what is mine
We're not going down
Without a fight

YEAH
COME ON
COME ON
COME ON

COME ON
COME ON
COME ON

We must pick up the pace
No time to play it safe
Before you know it's much too late

This is our time
Without a doubt
Time to ignite
We're not going down
(Without a fight)
This is our time
Get up off the ground
Take what is mine
We're not going down
Without a fight

FIGHT (16x)
WOO HOO
hahahahahahahaha

You seem to find the dark, when everything is bright
You look for all that's wrong, instead of all that's right
Does it feel good to you, to rain on my parade
You never say a word, unless it's to complain
It's driving me insane

If I were you, holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do, is thank the stars for all that I have
If I were you

Look what surrounds you now, more than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be?
So what's it going to take, for you to realize
It all could go away, in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I were you, holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do, is thank the stars above, tell the ones I love
That I do

Yeah, if I were you [2x]
If I were you
Yeah, if I were you

So what's it going to take, for you to realize
It all could go away, in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I Were You, holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do, is thank the stars above, for the ones I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I wanted to
If I were you [3x]

I only wanted you to feel
How I thought you deserved to feel
The way you always said you wanted to
You wanted all we had to be real
And every word we say to be true
Still after all I gave
It's not enough for you

Well I can't give anymore
So now I'm giving up
Cause nothing's ever good enough
And the more I try to pour
The less I fill your cup
Cause nothing's ever good enough

I only wanted you to see
That you can be who you wanted to be
And fill the lonely void inside of you
I gave you everything that you need
Do what you always wanted to do
Still after all I've done
I can't get through

Well I can't give anymore
So now I'm giving up
Cause nothing's ever good enough
And the more I try to pour
The less I fill your cup
Cause nothing's ever good enough
Good enough

I've wasted my time
Go find someone else

Well I can't give anymore
So now I'm giving up
Cause nothing's ever good enough
And the more I try to pour
The less I fill your cup
Cause nothing's ever good enough
Enough
Enough

I must make a choice
A tough decision
Listen to my voice
Should I give in
To temptation, admiration
One leads to myself
The other some one else
Just an empty shell
Just an empty shell

It's harder than it seems
When you're told that
All your hopes and dreams
Are yours to hold if
You just give them
What's expected
Something they can sell
Put upon a shelf
That I am not for sell
I am not for sell
I here a voice inside
It's crowning to a scream
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me
'cause I can live the lie
I am just what you see
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me

If I can't refuse
The price they offer
I am sure to lose
And I will suffer
Sell my soul to make a profit
All I have to do
Is make believe it's true
That something I can't do
That something I can't do
I here a voice inside
It's crowning to a scream
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me
'cause I can live the lie
I am just what you see
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me
So when the waiting's gone
This time to face the truth
You know your good enough
Deep down inside of you
You're finally woken up
If only just to prove
You are born to lead the way
Then be the first of you

it seems so obvious,
there's something up with us
i swear i feel it from across the room
so can i ask you this?
not to be forward miss
but i think i'd kill myself if i never knew...



what do i have to do to get inside of you,
to get inside of you?
Cuz i love the way you move
when i'm inside of you,
when i'm inside of you



just ask and i will do
anything you want me to
there is no limit to how far i will go
i'm sure i can pretend
to be a gentleman
but before i begin i just have to know...



what do i have to do to get inside of you,
to get inside of you?
Cuz i love the way you move
when i'm inside of you,
when i'm inside of you


for now i'll play the game
and i'm waiting for your move
but i've got to say that i never loose



what do i have to do to get inside of you,
to get inside of you?

what do i have to do to get inside of you,
to get inside of you?


Cuz, i love the way you move
when i'm inside of you,
when i'm inside of you



when i'm inside of you~

you~
you~

when i'm inside of you

At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward

I stand before
A road that will lead
Into the unknown
At least unknown to me
I want to go
But I'm paralyzed with fear
Fear of a choice
For the outcome isn't clear
No
But still I go

And I take the first step of a million more
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before
But at least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward

I wonder if
The journey will be
Short as I hope
Or much longer than it seems
But either way
I've made up my mind
I'm through feeling scared
I'm leaving that behind
So
Now it's time to go

And I take the first step of a million more
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before
But at least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward

All the while
I'll be singing
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na

And I take the first step of a million more
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before
But at least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward

And I take the first step of a million more
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before
But at least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward
At least I'm moving forward

Moving forward
Moving forward
Moving forward
Moving forward

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na

This is ours
We made it with our everything
Something real
As real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself
I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself for everyone to see
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
If you don't like it
Go ahead
You know just what you wanna do
Don't deny
You feel it 'cause I feel it too
Take a look all around
You feel it in the air
From the sky to the ground
I feel it everywhere
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
If you don't like it
If you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
Who cares if you don't like it
This is ours
We made it with our everything
Something real
As real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself
I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself for everyone to see
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
To let it out
To let it out
Who cares if you don't like it
If you don't like it
If you don't like it

Staring at the white above
Can't tell if I'm alive
Or am I dead
Or is it in my head
Where'd I go wrong

Staring at the white above
One day I closed my eyes
And here I am
A cold unhappy man
I've come to realise
The life I have I hate
The pulse I need is
Slowly fading
Until I've lost it all
I've been waiting
For an inspiration
For a chanceI never got to take
Before it's much too late
Where'd I go wrong
Where's the boy
That used to run
Could it be
He's up and gone away
he seems so far away
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away
They seem to far away

It feels as if the boy in me has
Left and been replaced
with a cheap and bitter
Imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
Approach him slow
and don't be afraid to say
Can he come out and play
Where'd I go wrong
Where's the boy that used to run
Could it be he's up and gone away
He seems so far away
he seems so far away
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away
They seem to far away
they seem so far away

Staring at the sky above
I found a chance
I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes
Where'd I go wrong

Where's the boy that used to run
Could it be he's up and gone away
He seems so far away
he seems so far away
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away
They seem to far away
they seem so far away
Where'd I go wrong

Go on
Make me feel it's useless
When in fact it's you that
Need to have me near
So now
Keep me at safe distance
And with a little persistence
I'll make it crystal clear
I'll tell be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I'm ready for you
So don't be afraid
'Cause I know what
You're going through
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
Now you seem to
Be content with
A one sided friendship
With you I've got to chase
Slow down
So I can smell the roses
But the road you chose is
Crooked and unpaved
I'll tell be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I'm ready for you
Don't be afraid
'Cause I know what
You're going through
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you

I'll tell be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I'm ready for you
I'll don't be afraid
'Cause I know what
You're going through
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'll be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I'm ready for you
I'll don't be afraid
'Cause I know what
You're going through
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you

Just when I thought
That I was better
I realised that I don't know
What better was
Is it
Better than I used to be?
Better for you or for me?
I'd better hurry 'cause
I need a better view of things
I don't know what it is or
What I might be
Coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things
That I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me
Than me be you
And I'm not getting any better
'Cause everytime
I can't remember
What it's for
Is it
Better now than yesterday?
Better that I am this way?
I'd better not be so afraid

I bet I shouldn't say
I don't know what it is or
What I might be
Coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things
That I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me
Than me be you
I don't know what it is or
What I might be
Coming down with
I don't know what it is or
What I might be
Coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things
That I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me
Than me be you
Me be you

I just thought that I'd let you know
that although I'm far
I'm close to you within
and all the time spent by your side
is taken deep in me
held for me to keep
to look upon when I'm feeling like
everything and one
is hurting me for something or other
it takes me to a better place
nowhere I'd rather go
thought I'd let you know

Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
(be in you)
Who you are
And what you do
I'm burning to be in you

I just thought that I'd let you know
Being near you is
A gift I only wish I could treasure
But for now I'll sit and wait
I'm still burning though
Thought I'd let you know

Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
(be in you)
Who you are
What you do
I'm burning to be in you

Thought I'd let you know

It Feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know
It feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know

Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
(be in you)
Who you are
What you do
I'm burning to be in you

Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
(be in you)
Who you are
What you do
I'm burning to be in you

Turn around and pick up the pieces

I like a rock sink
Sinking til I hit the bottom
The water is much
deeper than I thought
Nothing to swim with
Kicking but I keep sinking
A lesson that no one
could have ever taught
Cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around
and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around
and pick up the pieces

I see the picture
Blurry but now it's in focus
A fairy tale I purchased on my own
I finally woke up
Everything is better
A chance for me to open up and grow
I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around
and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around
and pick up the pieces

Suffocating sinking
further almost everyday
Barely treading water knowing
I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around
and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around
and pick up the pieces

don't want you to give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
To tell me that everything's alright
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

Why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

Cause I did enough to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close, you turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
Is it a waste of time?
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
...What is it I've got to say...
So why are you running away?
...To make you admit you're afraid...
Why are you running away?

I stand here face to face
With someone that I used to know
He used to look at me and laugh
But now he claims
That he's known me
for so very long
But I remember being no one
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like
you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
you're not allowed
to be a part of me
Did you know me
Or were you too preoccupied
With playing king
in your small kingdom
And now the real world
Has stripped you of your royalty
And from your kingdom
you're evicted
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like
you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed
to be a part of me
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me
You're never going
to be a part of me
You're never going
to be a part of me
You're never going
to be a part of me
You're never going
to be a part of me
You're never going
to be a part of me
You're never going
to be a part of me
Do you remember now
You acted like
you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed
to be a part of me
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me

I will dedicate and sacrifice
My everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending.
And I wish I could know if the
Directions that I take and all
The choices that I make
Won't end up all for nothing.

[후렴]
Show me what it's for.
Make me understand it.
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer.
Is there something more
Than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer

Help me carry on
Show me its ok to
Use my heart and not my eyes
to navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

[후렴 반복]

How much further do i have to go?
How much longer until i finally know?
Because I'm looking and
I just can't see what's in front of me.
In front of me.

[후렴 반복]
