Say Goodbye 04:01
I finally realize that I just bring you down Didn't know myself when I got off the road When I got back I didn't feel at home But then I met you Showed me a side of life I had never known Everything was so perfect Never questioning was this worth it Of course I knew the risk But I never thought you couldn't handle it I'll never understand How we can go from that to this Keep telling myself it's just a bad trip When everything is going so damn right Break it off before you feel the sting of life I broke your heart, you fixed mine Now that we're out of time I hope you realize That I can almost feel my arms around you And I still see you when I close my eyes I can't stand another day without you You know I'd drop everything just to be there Just to be by your side Yeah I know it's my fault you're leaving Can't watch you go tonight Now I know how it feels to say goodbye Goodbye Okay I'm gonna get a little bit real, cuz there's a couple different feelings that I need you to feel like, How could you give up When you knew all along You were everything to me You ruined my favorite songs So fuck everything else cuz I was always there for you when no one wanted to help Maybe I put you through hell, but fighting everyday ain't so good for my head I hope that you still see me when you close your eyes I hope you realize That I can almost feel my arms around you And I still see you when I close my eyes I can't stand another day without you Yeah I know it's my fault you're leaving Why you're leaving tonight So hard to say goodbye I never wanted to share myself with anybody else You knew that, I could tell Hey, Hey Don't say goodbye I never want you to change Love you the way you are You'll always have a place in my heart Now I realize that I just bring you down It's gonna be so hard to live without you So glad I see you when I close my eyes Well I could never fall in love without you It's hard as hell to say goodbye Please don't Say Goodbye

Cringe 03:35
If you're looking for another excuse To open your fucking mouth Look no further, sure you'll find plenty of material here Most people only live to move the dirt that they are buried with that they are buried with I'll never give up I will not bow my head I'll throw my fist up Your inexperience can't possibly create a valid argument You're lost in your own life Make your mistakes on your own time Lack any motivation just to make simple decisions Walk around with desperation in your heart and hate in your eyes It takes some nerve to know you've done nothing for yourself yet you still question the motives of someone else You think talking makes you a big man? Why don't you make something of yourself and then you'll understand I'd ask you to walk a mile in my shoes But you're too close minded Deeper meaning is beneath you Sometimes I think you're trying to be ignorant I worked for every shred of success You're just so apathetic There's nothing wrong with knowing what it takes to succeed You can keep this town I'll take everything that I want and ill leave So strange you're quiet face to face What a coincidence You're so bold and confident when you're hiding on the Internet You don't approve of how I carry myself? Come again? Come again? Don't give a fuck about you so keep my name out of your mouth You didn't know me then You don't know me now How can you preach how much I've changed when you don't even know yourself? It's almost laughable Act like you're so free from guilt Every time I hear you're name I cringe You're just so weak willed You're just so weak willed Every time you speak my name I cringe you're just so hate filled Lack any motivation just to make simple decisions Walk around with desperation in your heart and hate in your eyes It takes some nerve to know you've done nothing for yourself Yet you still question the motives of someone else You think talking makes you a big man? Why don't you make something of yourself and then you'll understand I'd ask you to walk a mile in my shoes But you're too close minded Deeper meaning is beneath you Sometimes I think you're trying to be ignorant I worked for every shred of success You're just so apathetic There's nothing wrong with knowing what it takes to succeed You can keep this town ill take everything that I want and I'll leave So strange you're quiet face to face What a coincidence You're so bold and confident when you're hiding on the Internet You could have anything that you want But you just sit there. Just sit there and talk And I feel pity Not for where you'll end up But for who you've become You'll never understand because you think you think you're up above When I've been fighting for everything I love You have been challenging my trust Now you're slipping away No one has any desire to save Someone that only acts to save face I feel pity Not for where you'll end up But for who you've become

Not A Saint 03:50
Well I am sorry, I am not a saint I wasn't raised that way Fight for what you love And watch it fade away I gave you every piece of me And now you're taking that away I'm forever on the edge of failure Always wondering what it will take to make this heart of mine To finally feel at, feel at home I want the part of you That you refuse to give The walls you've built around your soul Will soon wear thin I know it's hard to let me in But I swear That if we stand together We'll never fall apart And you will never have to suffer I will hold on to your heart You need to find a way To make it through the day, through the day I know that is asking a lot from someone like you I know you're capable, So don't throw me away So don't throw me away We said that we would not allow Each other to go to waste To go to waste I want the part of you that You refuse to give The walls you've built around Your soul will soon wear thin I know it's hard to let me in But I swear that if we stand together We'll never fall apart And you will never have to suffer I will hold on to your heart You need to find a way To make it through the day, through the day And now I'm standing around with nothing left to say There's always something to lose Learned that the hard way So sorry I'm not a saint I wasn't raised that way But you'll learn that the hard way Fuck what they say It's time you learned the hard way So sorry I'm not a saint I wasn't raised that way There's always something to lose Learned that the hard way I want the part of you that You refuse to give The walls you've built around Your soul will soon wear thin I know it's hard to let me in But I swear that if we stand together We'll never fall apart And you will never have to suffer I will hold on to your heart You need to find a way To make it through the day, through the day I want your soul

Weakest Link 01:39
When you lose everything that brings you comfort Will you give up? Will you let go? When you lose everything that brings you comfort And all you have left is yourself Will you fall down or will you fight the urge to drop your arms? Will you let go? Come on get up if you know the drill you know it's never time to stop you gotta drown that anger and push past everything that you think you need You only need yourself, Only as strong as your weakest link Only as strong as your weakest link So If you let go tell me where you'll wind up Gotta make your way can't depend on blind luck So If you let go tell me where you'll wind up Gotta make your way can't depend on blind luck Lost confused and alone And maybe your heart has never felt at home But you know one thing that no one else knows And that's how much you've already been through You did what you had to When you lose everything that brings you comfort And all you have left is yourself Will you fall down or will you fight the urge to drop your arms? Will you let go?

If I was the Devil I would bring everyone else down to my level I would create a living hell in Order to prepare An attempt to make every evil word somewhat easier to utter But that's not me I'm no saint but I tried to be good, I tried so hard to be understood You always accuse me of so much All I can hear are their voices screaming for my blood You say that I'm the one who fooled you but the honest truth The honest truth is that I'm the fool I truly changed for you But the change in me could never be enough for you You showed me how good this life could be but I should've known that losing you would destroy me I knew how dark this world could be and now I'm right here trapped inside this distance and it's killing me Now the world is dead and it's my burden to bear I live inside of my head this is my punishment For destroying every shred of humanity that was left That was left inside of me I've destroyed so many lives How did it come to this I close my eyes and hope I'm someone Else when I open them Too many lies now I can't remember The drugs have made every moment bleed together I can't believe how fucking far I've fallen Thought I had this under control, I got lost in the moment Sometimes you have to lose control, Numb the fuck up and go with the flow You showed me how good this life could be but I should've known that losing you would destroy me I knew how dark this world could be and now I'm right here trapped inside this distance and its killing me The one you loved is dead and buried He thought he'd get the last laugh, thought he'd get the best of me Who's laughing now? Who's laughing now? HA HA HA Numb up so I can't give a fuck You showed me how good this life could be but I should've known that losing you would destroy me I knew how dark this world could be and now I'm right here trapped inside this distance and its killing me You showed me how good this life could be but I should've known that losing you would destroy me I knew how dark this world could be and now I'm right here trapped inside this distance and its killing me And it's killing me Yeah, it's killing me

Come on My names been dragged through the dirt Love me, but suspect me first You probably assume the worst But that's okay, I did this myself You'll ask but I'll never tell You'll never know me that well You'll never know me that well Cuz I'm a snake in the grass Talk shit, don't take it back Look close and you'll see The real despicable me I tried, I fucking tried and I tried I'm just too easy to despise Today I woke up to a miserable scene Saw my reflection saw the absolute worst in me Insane, crazy in the worst way What's crazy is how fast things can change When they are going your way Now I've got nothing left Can't even find the words to say I finally lost my mind I finally ran out of time All or nothing I know I've just lost my way, but I never meant to leave such a broken path of pain Give me a chance please I'll explain Different perspectives through different eyes We're not the same I'm out of touch with everything that I should probably feel inside I am the worst person I know I never had a heart and I just sold my soul All my friends are dead, my girlfriend left, and I've got way too many voices inside of my head They're screaming "I am the worst person I know" You want a heart to hear? I'll let you know I am the worst person I know I will not be found I'll give you the run around The second you see inside of me I know you'll back out I grew up with a voice in my head And honestly without that voice I'd probably be dead Please don't wait for the prodigal son He almost came back, but he was having too much fun He's dead and gone and we knew it along Each time I give in the temptation is too strong And now i'm back here again Been wearing masks so long that now I don't know where to fit in Every night I lose it All of the choices that I've made tighten the noose till it fits Hide behind so many masks Try so hard it never lasts The darkness inside of me Just wants to set itself free I know I've just lost my way, but I never meant to leave such a broken path of pain Give me a chance please I'll explain Different perspectives through different eyes We're not the same I'm out of touch with everything that I should probably feel inside I am the worst person I know I never had a heart and I just sold my soul All my friends are dead, my girlfriend left, and I've got way to many voices inside my head They're screaming: "I am the worst person I know" You want a heart to heart? I'll let you know I am the worst person I know

I finally see this is bigger than you and me I fell asleep I was comatose Fought through the nightmare, finally woke up 18 months ago Stood up and went for what I wanted the most Now I am hated, I'm despised Struggle to see the path through bloodshot eyes I guess I shouldn't be surprised Everyone I knew before acts like I've lost my life They say: "Good things come to those who wait, greatness occurs when you can fight through the hate" I'm talking like I got something to prove, but chasing my dreams is all I'm trying to do I finally see the light All I need now is a little more time You got what you wanted and someday I'll get mine I know I'll never try to fill the void that you left behind in me I played it over again Trying to silence the ghosts that you left in my head I never want to forget I never want to pretend That this didn't destroy me You are the one that fills my heart and head I play a long hand and I hold my cards close Why wouldn't I when you were everything I wanted the most I'll never give up I'll never let you go This isn't bigger than us This is my last hope This is my last hope I finally see the light All I need now is a little more time You got what you wanted and someday I'll get mine I know I'll never try to fill the void that you left behind in me So when the moment comes That I am asked my dying wish I will close my eyes and take myself back And I will say let me see her again 'll surrender the moment you forgive me for my past But we know that would never last I refuse to live in the past There's no way you can hurt me I've already lost what I had to lose What I had to lose Yeah, lost what I had to lose When I lost you Realized that I was truly dead inside So I started to fight Started to see the light Glared at the sun for the very first time Now I know what's inside know how I want to live this life I finally see the light All I need now is a little more time You got what you wanted and someday I'll get mine I know I'll never try to fill the void that you left behind in me
