I Can Barely Breathe
Tell me girl what were you thinking
hit me with something that'll make this worth my time
take it back, take it all back now,
every promise i made was just another mistake with you
tell the truth if you think that you can take it,
but i know you won't
i never felt so all alone but when it was safe
i turned my back and the blade came through
and i can barely breathe
stand on top of the roof top wonderin'
is it good, yeah it's good for jumpin'
to take back every word you said cuz i can barely breathe
Tell me now can you still taste him
cuz you know you'll never wash your hands of this
take it back, take it all back now,
every drunken kiss that landed on his lips from you
make a move if you think that you can make it,
but i know you won't
i never felt so all alone but when it was safe
i turned my back and the blade came through
hold your tongue, you know nothing about this
don't even get involved
I hope you watch as i'm falling down
because you are the reason i'm hitting the ground
you can be the one that breaks me,
you will be the one that breaks me
I hope you know that every tear you cry
is a memory left from when you watched me die
you know i'll haunt your dreams with all these pieces that you stole of me
Of All We've Known
It's 9 o’clock and it’s getting dark and I can’t see the road
I flash my headlights into the dark night
I swear we’ll make it on our own
We're older than we used to be
this town holds no more to see
we’re fading in, we’re fading out
until I hear you say
Come on, come on
Hey kid, this is far too important for you to understand
She says be a man, you know this is what we both wanted
It’s time for us to let go
of all we’ve known
It’s 1 a.m. and we’re alone again, I reach out for the sky
My mind keeps playing all the words you’re saying
I’m always wrong when you are right
We re older than we used to be
This town holds no more to see
We’re fading in, we’re fading out until I hear you say
Come on, come on
Hey kid, this is far too important for you to understand
She says be a man, you know this is what we both wanted
It’s time for us to let go
of all we’ve known
Come on, come on
Hey kid, this is far too important for you to understand
She says be a man, you know this is what we both wanted
It’s time for us to let go
of all we’ve known
Of all we’ve known, of all we’ve known
Of all we’ve known (Hey kid, this is far to important)
Of all we’ve known (For you to understand)
She says be a man
Tell Me Everything
Just one more hour
and I'll know the truth that separates the right From all the wrong feelings that
You have about me your grace is distracting me
White out the memories
of each sarcastic shot you took at me
With your hurtful tones and biting melodies
Just one more outburst
and I'm leaving you like you left me one year ago
and I know that this could never be an apology from you
A meaning buried
under shuttered breathing
Its taking too long for me to spit it out
Tell me everything will be alright
Close your eyes and dream of me tonight
Tell me that you won't just fade away
Cross my heart and hope to die tonight I'll dream my pain away
I'll let the lack of words speak for me
the way I am I can't express or understand
I'll take the time now to make you see
I see through your lies, they're bleeding from your eyes.
In Your Silence
Tell me dear,
How could I make this more clear?
When I say this is forever
And how is that so wrong
Is it too much to ask to not be alone
So what did I do wrong?
I'll take it back and start over again.
Well I fall asleep with you,
And I wake up alone and unwanted
In your silence.
And I wish I could destroy you
But instead I'll just adore you
And know that you are silent.
I'll cross my fingers tight
And sleep to dream of you.
Cause when I wake
I know I'll be alone,
But it's worth it for you.
And I'd sleep through any dream for you.
And I'd wit through anything.
You're everything to me.
I'm still waiting.
Our Work Of Art
Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I'll never leave you.
I wish that I could walk away
guilt rests in my hands
I know that it is for the better
I never said that i'd comprimise
between fact or fiction
there's so much better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
Another sentence this all could be over
Your words are like weapons why can't you protect me
I wish that you would walk away
red still lines your hands
I know that it's still for the better
I never said that i'd stand aside
between you and the door
there's nothing better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
Blood stained sheets.
It didn't matter when I was calling out your name
I felt the wound grow ever slowly
closer than you'd ever hold me
Its a work of art
the way this fell apart
was the design too faded from the start
or was the artist just too blinded by this
no its common sense I lack the confidence
still i'll confess all these things to you
take a look at yourself
and tell me what do you see
I'd take a bullet for you
you'd put a bullet through me
and as I lay on the floor
with this hole in my chest
how will you walk from the truth
with all that blood on your dress
And everything that you want
is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
but you'd have take it from me
and every word that you said
it brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend its all fading
What We've Become
I'll take this as easy as I can make it seem
You'll keep me, me guessing
Act like you still believe
There's a time and place for everything
The words you spoke, the words he said
How could this happen to me
Wake up and turn around
You gave the flame, its burning out
And now you mean nothing to me...
You make it so easy to just walk away
You'll take me for granted
As we both know you have
There's a time and place for everything
The words you spoke, the words he said
How could this happen to me
Wake up and turn around
You gave the flame, its burning out
And now you mean nothing to me...
And so replace every dream you had
Find your way back home this time you'll be on your own
Ill be waiting there with you hope
The hopes of better days and a love that wont fade away
I've been feeling so lost but I wont let it show
Into your arms I've fallen once again
So I wake up, wake up
How could this happen to me
So I wake up, wake up
Don't let it burn out on me
You Tell A Tale
I search your words
Fish for breaks in every line
You say you'll paint a picture in my mind.
I'm pay attention to details
And searching for any misleading ideas
You tell a tale, one grand enough to carry me away.
Because I know where you've been
And I know what you've done with him
I hope it's worth what we lost
Take your time with your goodbyes
Because this will be the last time
I sit by with eyes closed tight
And it's hard to know
If I had caught this months ago
Could have faced myself
Saved myself from this disease
It's killing me faster
With every single second you are gone
You needed an answer
But when I said yes, I meant for ever more.
I look into your eyes and
See that your color's changing,
And I wish that I could change with you.
And when you said forever,
Did you mean it to be true?
Or was it another tale from you?
Forgotten Not Forgiven
I'm watching your eyes move slowly up and down my silhouette
And I wonder if you get it yet
This is the last time I crawl away on these broken knees
And don't you wish it all would be okay
Promise me you'll forget me
You said as you walked away
Don't hold on please let go of me
You make it so hard to leave
And I cant breath without you here for fear Ill catch your scent
And we both know how bad I get I don't do well on dwell and change
Don't you know that three small words could make this all okay
Promise me you'll forget me
You said as you walked away
Don't hold on please let go of me
You make it so hard to leave
You promised me
You'll never forget me
You promised me
You'll never forget me
Is There No Truth In Beauty
This is how it's been
This is how it will be
And when you wake up with him
Remember when it was me
And I'll always will be waiting for you
And I know that you will never see
That I can't break away from these chains to my heart
The further you push me, the closer you are
Maybe I should try to let go
Maybe I should try to walk away
There's nothing left to say
Do you remember when
You used to laugh there with me?
And now I've become the joke,
A punchline's all I will be,
And I'll always will be waiting for you,
And I know that you will never see,
That I can't break away from these chains to my heart,
The further you push me, the closer you are,
Maybe I should try to let go,
Maybe I should try to walk away,
There's nothing left to say,
You'll be waiting for the rest of your life,
Just so you can finally be sad,
But words don't mean a thing, but I'll say them anyway,
Anyway, yeah,
I can't break away from these chains to my heart,
The further you push me, the closer you are,
Maybe I should try to let go,
Maybe I should try to walk away,
There's nothing left to say,
But I can't break away from these chains to my heart,
The further you push me, the closer you are,
Maybe I should try to let go,
Maybe I should try to walk away,
There's nothing left to say,
Cause I can't break away.
She Broke My Heart So I Broke His Jaw
Take apart every piece of this machine,
Leave my broken body in the street,
Ill stammer drunk and hallow to your doorstep
You'll say
Don't even breath his name
You'll say
Don't you dare
One shot is all that I would need
Tonight Ill have you on your knees
I'll make you see
(I'll have you begging for his life tonight)
One shot is all I'd ever need
Tonight Ill have you on your knees
I'll make you believe
And now you'll see
Just how desperate we both can be
And now you'll see
That you could never live
Live without me
One shot is all I that I would need
Tonight Ill have you on your knees
I'll make you see
(I'll have you begging for his life tonight)
One shot is all I that I would need
Tonight Ill have you on your knees
I'll make you believe [x3]
