I cried so much that day
I felt so far away
It was my fault ‘cos I went away
The day that I decide to stay away
The very same day that you went away
And now you’re gone for a new beginning

Look so deep into the sides of your eyes
You won’t look at me till I speak my mind
Only I don’t know what I’m supposed to say to you
As you stare straight ahead, not one sight of a fight…
It’s not over till you’re ready to let go
Sleep well ‘cos I got nothing more to say
I haven’t said much ‘cos I’ve got so much to say
Sounds better in my head, let’s keep it that way
As we fall asleep, not one sight of a fight…
It’s not over till you’re ready to let go
Speak to me!
It’s been so long since we’ve talked about
Oh, I dunno, just something more than
Television takes up time
It doesn’t make for healthy living
Come on let’s go out tonight
Let’s find a place where we won’t
Fall asleep…
I don’t want to fall asleep on you
I’d rather we fight it out

You’re invincible till you find that nothing ever lasts that long
If nothing has ever grown there before why would it start now?
You gotta take what you got
Take what you’re given
Live how you want
Don’t expect anything
This is what I’ve figured out:
Life is shit
And feelings are made to be hurt
But my hopes are there so strong so full
So don’t knock them down again
And where was I when everything turned out good?
Patching up my friends again
Sulking on my own again
And how does it work?
How can we make it right?
All I want from life is love
It’s all I want
It’s so hard when you’re holding me
To do as you say and leave you be
And the truth is that the more I see
The more I want you holding me
All I ever thought about, all I ever wanted
All I ever cared about, all I ever needed
Was to make something out of this
Now I don’t know what to do what to think how to feel
About anything anymore
Not anymore
You want it all…

I fell down to theway
I saw your eyes through theway
When I fall down, you don’t watch me crawl
I can’t do this forever anymore
But still you reply
Still you see why
I’m all over you now…
We walked the road the feeling so blue
My mind in a time when I would end up kissing you
If thought is life and strength and breath
Then my want of thought means my death
But still you reply
Still you see why
I’m all over you now
So far away…
A slow road home
Sound all around
An empty silence undisturbed
By the outside world that’s in my head
Yet the waterfall of thought is stripping me bare

Sometimes I disgust myself
I’ll tell you what:
I can’t look at my reflection without seeing all those things I did to myself
To her
And you all know my face
See the lights they’ve been turned down to hide my shame
I don’t feel till now
Keep my rhythm tight
Don’t make me speak, don’t take my time
Hate that I just want some more
From the wrong place, the wrong time
The place that made me lose my mind before
And you all know my face…
It feels like I can live again
She makes me wanna live again, love again
Feels like I can live…
I know I won’t live a normal life
I got an addiction to beauty, sex and love
And it’s all relative to what you think about what I do
And what you give me when I want it
What do you feel about that?
Feels like I can live again
Feels like I can live again, love again
She makes me wanna live…
I wake up
I see the sunshine
I’m living my dreams
But I wake up
See the world around me
And I don’t know what I’m doing
And I don’t know what I’m breathing
What I’m seeing is believing
But I can’t believe I’m seeing this
I’m dreaming…

Everything has changed
I’ve never felt quite like this before
And everyone seems to crowd around
And everyone seems to take me, feel me
I’m not that special…
My new jaded point of view
It feels like I’m looking through someone else’s eyes
And now it seems I’ve scared myself away
From all those who have noticed me, been with me
I’m not that special…
Do you think I’m special?
I’m not that special
I’m being honest with you
I’m not lying to you
I’m not fighting with you
It’s a long way down…
Still the motherfucker just can’t see
And the world is still too big for me
And I’ve never taken the chance to be
And I’ve never seen anything in me
It’s a long way down…
I used to be so sure
I used to be adored
I used to know my name
I used to play this game
I’m not that special anymore
I’m not special like you anymore

Finally, everyone has spoken
Don’t drown the feeling
It’s all I got
Night time: The best time for answers
To questions left unspoken
To thoughts you won’t believe
Keep everything locked inside
Keep it pent-up, locked away
(Please don’t go)
Don’t go…
Finally, everyone has spoken
Don’t drown the feeling
It’s all I got
Is it alright?
People take time, but time takes us
Will it alright
Is it alright?
Can we make it through?
Will we make it through?
I won’t ever know
Till it’s too late for you

Did I ruin everything?
Did I make it fall apart?
Did I forget what I had when I had it all right here?
Did I focus on the things I wanted more than anything?
Did I make it seem more than what I wanted all along?
I hope that I’m just paranoid, I hope that I’ve gone mad
But it seems that you’re not touching me with the love that you once had
And please don’t think that it’s all you
I’m just as much to blame
For thinking that the things I wanted weren’t easy enough to gain…
I want it
You got it
I want it all
But I’m so scared that you’ve had enough
And I wanna show you there’s still so much to have
But now I’m second-guessing myself again
Am I feeling what I’m thinking?
Am I thinking down the straight line?
Do I know what I want from this, do I know what I got?
There’s no easy what to answer this now I’m afraid
It’s not a question, but a statement: That is where you’d rather be
This is what you’d rather be doing right here
Don’t you know it’s hard to see ‘cos it hurts to look away…
You’re calm now
So empty
So emotionless
But my head is aching with the pressure of my sadness
How long now
Till it’s over?
Do we charade this?
So very close to a celebration
We should be happy
I don’t want to end this
Please remember me
(Don’t you forget about it
I wont forget about it)

Falling far away to the ground
You’re lost inside that head again
You’re keeping it away but keeping it close and
It’s all relative to the way you see me
How do you feel now everything’s changing?
How do you feel that it’s still the same?
It all comes down to how hard you’re trying
It’s all dependant on everything
