Your stuck on a chain
And your toeing a lie
Seems like everytime that you catch up
You only fall behind

And your trapped inside this world you made yourself
but that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me

There is always someone to blame
for the things you do yourself
you think that everything that's going wrong
is because of someone else

And your trapped inside this world you made yourself
that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me [2x]

cause I'm lonely outside and I'll look on in

And that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me...

Show me the road and I will find my own
You build your bridges and I'll burn em down
So far away and all alone I roam
I'll take my chances in the here and now

And all you wonder is who's for sale, well you wont know now and I wont tell
Your always hiding throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

[chorus]
And god only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

Another day and yet another's done spending a life living with in the past
I'll take the chance before the chance has gone
You never know when it'll be your last

But still you wonder who's for sale, well you wont know now and I wont tell
Your always hiding throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

[chorus]
And god only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

We'll know when we run out of time until its all over with
And there'll be no where to run
We'll never say it but we're over out heads and we're drowning inside with all the things we've said

[chorus]
And god only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

In the glare of a neon light (sign)
She laid her body down
A man walked in beside her
And laid his money down
He said don’t try to scream now
But I want this one to hurt
Tonight my pretty one
I’m gonna get my money’s worth
She said they never listened
She said they’d never understand
That I don’t this for pleasure
I just do it cause I can
I swear I didn’t want to
And I swear I didn’t know
That things like this could happen to a 17-year old

And I’ve bundled up all of these things inside
And I’ve bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won’t let it happen again
Never again

In the haze of a smoky room
He chokes that bottle down
It’s been a month since her saw her face underneath the blood stained gown
He thinks about that little girl and the one he has at home
And wonders what if that was my little girl walkin down that road alone
Maybe I’m just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, I’ve learned this all night
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my father’s son

And I’ve bundled up all of these things inside
And I’ve bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won’t let it happen again
Never again

I’ve bundled up all of these fears inside
And I’ve bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
I won’t let it happen again
Never again
Never again
No

Lay me down
Wash this blood off my hands for me while I cry, cry out
Dont let me die before I go to sleep
And I cant keep going
But I cant start again

The road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million I've fallen
But never will I break

These walls I make
They could hold me in and hold me back today
Oh but tomorrow's new and I'll walk right out and walk right over you
If you hear me screaming
Please dont let me fall again

The road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million I've fallen
But never will I break

My time is on its way
I'll fall but I wont break

The road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million I've fallen
But never will I break

The road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million I've fallen
But never will I break

I wanted to find somewhere to hide
And I opened up and left those fears inside
And I wanted to be in near on this
Only to find that there was no one there but me

But I woke up to real life
And I realised its not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
That nothings real here but I wont stop now until I find a better part of me

I look so hard days get me down
And all the things I hate got in my way
I could of screamed without a sound
I found myself silenced by those things they say

But I woke up to real life
And I realised its not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
That nothings real here but I wont stop now until I find a better part of me

That's out there somewhere
And it cant be that far away
That's where I'll find myself
And ill find my way out
That's where I'll find out

But I woke up to real life
And I realised its not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
That nothings real here but I wont stop now until I find a better part of me

I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me way much longer
I don't know what I would do
You got to understand it's a hard life,
that I'm going through

And when the night falls around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

L A is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to get back home

And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear

And when the night falls around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear

And when the night falls around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way

All I think about is you

The shades gone up
Mothers staring down
She don't know where he's been
Or how long he's been out

She said 'Boy I'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends'
He said 'Mom I'm tired and I'm living my life the best way that I can'

Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down

The day has come
The sun is moving on
She don't know where he'll go
Or when he's coming home

She said 'Son take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight'
He said 'I love you now, don't worry about me you know i'll be fine'

Cause i'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine i'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
No
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you
I wont ever let you

What they say
What they know
What they think wont ever bring me down
This life is mine and I am my own

I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Don't you know me?

I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
Yeahhh
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
I wont be nobody else
This life is mine and I am my own

One more kiss could be the best thing
Or one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And your not something I deserve

CHORUS
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
And you love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, let me go

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
And I know what I'm going through

CHORUS
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
And you love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, just let me go, let

Nevermind the face you put on
In front of me
Nevermind the pain
That you've put me ..through

And every little thing you say
And every little thing you do
Makes me doubt all of this

Chorus:
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me

Nevermind the trip that you've been on
Or so it seems
Nevermind the lies you told, my tears

And every little thing you said
And every little thing you did
Made me doubt all of this

Chorus:
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me

Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me

Yeahhhhhh

Oh was meant for me, yeah hey yeah hey

Oh No Oh

And there's a difference than spending time with me
and killing time while I'm there
too many people and too many things
and it makes me feel like hell
You have gone as I can see
and all of this she says to me

[Chorus]
There's too many questions
and too many strings
and it wont keep this thing tied
On the road, it costs the ride
It Feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But despite of all this weather
I know why we are together
and I swear right now
I know right where I belong


I know I get a little bit crazy
but I never done you no wrong
Well I get distracted and carried away
and I spend this way too long

But I don't know what you need from me
cause all I know is what I can see

[Chorus]
There's too many questions
and too many strings
and it wont keep this thing tied
On the road, it costs the ride
It Feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But despite of all this weather
I know why we are together
and I swear right now
I know right where I belong

I'm right where I belong
Go on, Play it for me Son


[Chorus]
There's too many questions
and too many strings
and it wont keep this thing tied
On the road, it costs the ride
It Feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But despite of all this weather
I know why we are together
and I swear right now
I know right where I belong

The scene is dead but I'm still restless
An hour till the last call I guess
I shouldn't even be here much less
Drinking myself into excess
But I'm not going home till I'm done

Well go on get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

Well everythings another excuse
To keep you doing what I want to
Look I would really love to kiss you
But I guess I'm in no condition
I'm not going home with no one

Well go on get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

Well I'm not going home with no one
Not going home with no one
Not going home with no one

Well go on get gone
Go on and get gone
Go on you can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out
But it's been fun

We can't go home
The night is young
I'm blacking out

Call on the fates, this'll take a second
While I fall on my face, like everyone else
and we can talk all we want, but all I can say
Is that I'm sorry and I'm sorry
but I'm never gonna do it again

Counting on my relative friends
When this keeps coming up again and again
If everybody knows how its gonna end,
why doesn't someone stop me?

Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor,
for the sixth or seventh night in a row
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes - someone stop me

It's hard to rely on the rhythm section
when they're all packing up and they're heading for the exit
Yeah, we're all just the same, a bunch of slaves to fashion
Who are tall, dark and scared and just praying for some action

How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?

I'm counting on my relative friends (inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again (inaction)
If everybody knows how its gonna end (inaction)
why doesn't someone stop me? (inaction)

Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor, (inaction)
for the sixth or seventh night in a row (inaction)
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes - someone stop me

I can't keep counting on my relative friends (inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again (inaction)
If everybody knows how its gonna end (inaction)
why doesn't someone stop me? (inaction)

Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor, (inaction)
for the sixth or seventh night in a row (inaction)

The party's all right, I might wanna stop drinking
What were we talking about?
My body won't tell my mind what I've been thinking
Before it's out of my mouth
The minute I get upset, that's it, it's over
I'm already out of the room
Why can't I just forget that what I know's gonna hurt?
There's not much else I can do

I'm breaking my own rules, becoming someone else
Well everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else to go

I've probably made mistakes that I've forgotten
It's all ambiguous now
I've been willing to take the shape of what you wanted
I could just figure it out

I'm breaking my own rules, becoming someone else
Well everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else to go

I'm breaking my own rules, becoming someone else
Well everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't move
If there isn't somewhere else to go, whoa, whoa
It's changing my issues as far as I can tell
But everybody says I oughta get over myself
I'm thinking I can't lose

I guess that I should probably leave right now
cause I'm already kind of sweating and freaking out
I got a timebomb headache thats ticking down
I guess that everythings better when im not around

Its all out of context
Its nothing im into
call it a complex
Its really quite simple
Im tired of these hangups
I wish somebody would call me back.
how about it?

well my tongue is tired
and im seeing stars
I got a million ugly words for what you are
I got a busted back
and a broken heart
I guess that everything is better where ever you are

Its all out of context
Its nothing im into
call it a complex
Its really quite simple
Im tired of these hangups
I wish somebody would call me back.
how about it?

Its all out of context
Its nothing im into
call it a complex
Its really quite simple
Im tired of these hangups
I wish somebody would call me back.
and im so sorry to bring you down
I guess that everythings better when im not around
and im so sorry to bring you down
I guess that everythings better when im not around
and im so sorry to bring you down

Well I've been taking my time, slow goings nothing new to me
I've been taking my time, slide up just drop everything

Falling out of my car, I'm not sure what I'm doing here
Some how wherever we are, I'm not sure what I'm doing here

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once I'm ready for the cash-in
And I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, ohhh

Well I've been talking a lot, I'm not saying much of anything
Well I've been talking a lot, I'm not saying much of anything

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once I'm ready for the cash-in
And I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, ohhh

I've been taking my time
I've been taking my time

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once I'm ready for the cash-in

I should have known that this would happen from the start
This kind of function's going to have to fall apart
I guess before I would have sworn that we were friends
And in this problem must award some logic trend

Well I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is
I've been hit!
I've been hit!
I've been hit!

Well there's only so much drama I can stand
This is just about as far as I will bend
So get your hands off my lapel because I think it's time to go
You oughta know that or you oughta know

And I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is
I've been hit!
I've been hit!
I've been hit!

As I was falling down the stairs and out the door
Yes, I heard you yell my name but I'm not sure
You know, before I could have sworn that we were friends
Somehow that's how these parties always seem to end

Well I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is that
I always get hit

Well I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
I guess I might take it back, but I'm not sure what I did
All I know for a fact is
I've been hit!
I've been hit!

I'm making my escape
Making my escape
Tell myself that everything's in shape
Everything's in shape
But me

How long can this take?
How long can this take?
Tell myself that everything is great
Everything is great
Well, how'm I doin'?

[Chorus]
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up

Breakin' both my hands
Breakin' both my hands
Tellin' me to take it like a man
Take it like a man
I can't

I don't understand
I don't understand
Please repeat whatever you just said
Nothin's makin' sense
Well, how'm I doin'?

Chorus

They're breakin' both my hands
They're breakin' both my hands
They're tellin' me to take it like a man
Take it like a man
Well fuck that

I don't understand
Said I don't understand
Said please repeat whatever you just said
Cause nothin's makin' sense
Well, how'm I doin'?

I'm holding out and I'm holding on
to every letter and every song.
I pulled myself out of the day we ever had to meet.
Are you through with me?

So..

And when it all goes to hell,
will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face.
[x2]

Let's Go!

I'm all ears and I'm all scars
to hear you tell me "Boy's like you, you try too hard
to look not quite as desperate". I'm hanging on.
But I still know the way to make your makeup run.

So..

And when it all goes to hell,
will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face.
[x3]

And when it all goes to hell, (Take this to your grave)
will you be able to tell me sorry with a straight face. (I'll take it to mine)

And when it all goes to hell [x3]

I could walk this fine line between elation and success,
but we all know which way I'm going to strike the stake between my chest.
So, "You have to prove yourself".
You'll have to prove it to me.

So now you're waiting up for him...
You're wasting time every time

Whoa, I can't do it by myself. [x5]

I can't wake up to these reminders of who I am:
A failure at everything... 18 going on extinct.
I know my place it's nowhere you should roam.

So now you're waiting up for him...
Still wasting time, yeah, every time
Yeah

I sat outside my front window...this story's going somewhere:
"He's well hung," and I am hanging up.
Well there's a song on the radio that says:
"Let's get this party started."
So let's get this party started.

What you do on your own time's just fine.
My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know.
And what meant the world had folded
like legs and fingers holding onto what escapes me;
what he has: a better kiss that never lasts.

You said, between your smiles and regrets: "Don't say it's over."
Dead and gone.

The calm before the storm set it off, and the sun burnt out tonight.
A reception less than warm set it off. The sun burnt out tonight.

This is me standing in the arch of the door hating
that look that's on your face that says
there's another fool like me.
There's one born every minute.

What you do on your own time's just fine.
My imagination's much worse, I just never want to know.
What meant the world imploded, inflated then demoted all my oxygen
