1. BETTER OFF

I was never something that you made important
Every time I think of you I can't ignore that i’m
I’m better off without you
You won't get another chance to take it back
You left me with a choice now I have to act like I
I’m better off without you

There's always somewhere else you'd rather be
I can see it in your eyes and if history repeats itself
Soon i'll be treading water just to stay alive
I can't live like this
I'm too far from home tonight
I won't fight for it
Because I feel like I'm already down and out

You lost your self in your reflection
Once you give up on me
I hope you finally see

I was never something that you made important
Every time I think of you I can't ignore that i’m
I’m better off without you
You won't get another chance to take it back
You left me with a choice now I have to act like I
I’m better off without you

I can't live like this
It's hard to say you were the best thing for me
I can't live like this
And all along I should have seen this coming

Wish I could take back the words that I said
I swear to god I wish they never left my mouth

And maybe I'm just like you say
But maybe losing you made me
Point the blame (x2) (Woah)

But now I finally see

You were never something that I made important
Every time I think of you I can't ignore that i'm
Not better off without you
I won't get another chance to take it back
You left, I made a choice now it’s clear to me that i'm
Not better off with you

I wish that I could have been there from the start
Because the day you leave you'll take all my heart
And I don't ever want to live alone another day without you

I wish that I never let this fall apart
Because the day you leave you'll take all my heart
And I don't ever want to live alone another day without you


2. SLIP AWAY

I have a hold of everything i've ever wanted

Will somebody please tell me what to say?
I'm lost for words and I can't seem to find a way
Around the awful truth
The terrible truth is I'm tired of running from

You are, the only reason I would stay
And you are the only thing that's
Pushing me away

Will you please stop asking me to stay
When you know it has to
(you know its has to)
You know it has to be this way

I have a hold of everything
I've ever wanted
I won't let it slip away

I can't stand it when you're yelling over me
I try to speak, calm you down but it's killing me
To dance around the truth
The terrible truth is I'm tired of running from

You are, the only reason I would stay
And you are the only thing that's
Pushing me away

Will you please stop asking me to stay
When you know it has to
(you know it has to)
You know it has to be this way

I have a hold of everything
I've ever wanted
I won't let it slip away

I couldn't tell if you were glad that it was over
I should have stayed the night
Just one more night
To make sure that you knew that I'd come back
And I could see it in your eyes
If it was up to you you'd rather have me home
But it's not your choice
I wish I didn't have to do this on my own x2
I can't do this on my own x2

Will you please stop asking me to stay
When you know it has to
You know it has to be this way

(This way)

Will you please stop asking me to stay
When you know it has to
(you know it has to)
You know it has to be this way

I have a hold of everything
I've ever wanted
I won't let it slip away


3. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT

I'm gonna say something you don't want to hear
You can't live up to lies that you have built inside
Your head for all these years

You're gonna cave just like we expected and
When you break I will stand collected staring at the floor
Watching you pick up the broken pieces

Are you
Holding back the truth from me so much that
I can start to see right through you
Why did it take so long
To get across the message i’ll have to get
This off of my chest

Slow down
You keep on running when the problem is yourself
So pick your head up and change direction
While you still recognize reflections of yourself
Slow down
The problem’s you and no one else

And if you can close your eyes
And fall asleep tonight
You can escape this nightmare
That you call your life
While your actions are burning bridges down
Shutting doors that your words cannot reopen anymore
Knowing it only gets worse when you wake up

Thinking that there’s something real
When fallacy is all you feel, just tell me
Why did it take so long
To get across the message
I’ll have to get this off of my chest

Slow down
You keep on running when the problem is yourself
So pick your head up and change direction
While you still recognize reflections of yourself
Slow down
The problems you and no one else

What did you expect from being so deceiving?
Every other second you had me believing
There was something wrong with me
But it was just another thing
That I let get inside my head based off all the lies you said
Are you
Holding back the truth from me so much that
I can start to see right through you
Why did it take so long
To get across the message i’ll have to get
This off of my chest

Slow down
You keep on running when the problem is yourself
So pick your head up and change direction
While you still recognize reflections of yourself
Slow down
The problems you and no one else

What did you expect from being so deceiving
Every other second you had me believing
There was something wrong with me
But it was just another thing
That I let get inside my head based off all the lies you said


4. OUR TIME DOWN HERE

You’re growing up too fast they said
But I don’t want to live my life like them
And I just want to think about tonight
Because the past is my ghost

Let’s meet up in a shady part of town
Where they don’t want to see us lose
Our crowns because we’re kings to them
Well I don’t think we’re kings of anything
(No I don’t think we’re kings of anything)

Sneak out to the rooftop scene
Surrounded by such evil things
I won’t admit this but I hate it here

And what they don’t know
Is that the place they told me I should never go
Was the place I learned to love the most
What they don’t know
Is just something they forgot when they grew old
You have to fall before you grow

So i’ll say thanks for the advice
The choice is mine to make tonight
I’d rather do this on my own than fall right into place
And we will never be alive
If we don’t learn to live our lives
I’ll run in circles till I die
Rather than have to retrace your lines

I am so sorry if you think I didn’t need you
But my heart has never lost a place for you
I just got tired of the way you stopped my movement
All I ever truly wanted was to live

And what they don’t know
Is that the place they told me I should never go
Was the place I learned to love the most
And what they don’t know
Is just something they forgot when they grew old
(You have to fall)
You have to fall before you grow
(before you grow) [x3]
And after all you have to fall before you grow


5. START AGAIN

I never made this clear but
I'm tired of waiting for the right moment to appear
I built my life on something not
So stable
And i've been falling ever since I was able to stand.

They say it's harder on your own and you know it's true

Now I'm ready to break through

I've spent all these years of my life begging for a plan that never came
So, I broke all the bones in my legs
And taught myself to stand alone again to become a better man
Because I hate who I was turning out to be
But I'm sure that this will not be the end of my suffering

I just thought it'd be easier
But now i know that I can't take it back
There's nothing you can do that will change the way i act
So the words will hang over me
"Just give it up there's no way you're gonna win"
It's never too late to pick yourself up and start again

Are we ever gonna change
This feelings taking over me
Every time I think I get it right

And I don't think i'll feel okay
If this ends with misery
But it's just another chance that
I'm willing to take tonight
Hoping that..
This would be easier


6. ONLY FOREVER

If I'm dead and this
Is playing at my funeral
Then to my body I beg
Rest your tired head

You were exactly who you
Promised you would be
Just rest in peace

You knew that this day was coming
They said that this never ends well
Oh well
Don't be afraid this is just forever

So let me say what i've been dying to say
My words are spoken for but i’ll try to explain

Yeah i’ll try to explain

And there’s nothing that will stop
The clocks from from spinning,
No cure for time itself
It’s not a curse to be lifted
Don't blink won't want to miss it

It’ll pass you by
And you've heard a thousand times now
It’s not a curse to be lifted
But it’s enough to make you lose your mind

While they’re all searching for things that don't exist
(For things that don't exist)
We will be just fine knowing that we lived

If I'm dead and this
Is playing at my funeral
Then to my body I beg
Rest your tired head

Unless you think there’s somewhere else
You have to be (x2)
Just rest in peace (x2)

And you can bury me
But you'll never bury my words

You'll never bury my words
(Words) [x3]

It’s not a curse to be lifted
But it’s enough to make you lose your mind

While they’re all searching for things that don't exist
They’re running down all the time they could have spent
We will be just fine knowing that we lived

If I'm dead and this
Is playing at my funeral
Then to my body I beg
Rest your tired head
Unless you think there’s somewhere
Else you have to be
Just rest in peace

In my head i’ll find
A place for every memory to hide
I’ll spend forever losing track of time

You were exactly who you
Promised you would be (x2)
Just rest in peace
Don't be afraid this is just forever


7. WRECKAGE

I keep on thinking i’ll wake up from this
I can't pretend it’s alright (No)
I can't take it, no, I can't take it
You went back on every word you said
I can't pretend it's all right

My god what have they done
Every word was just a broken promise
Was this dead from the start?
Maybe next time you’ll both be honest

Will things ever change for me?
You’ve got no where to run
Now it’s time to let me know

Was it worth your time to just give up?
I don't think you understand
That because of you i’ll have to run
Away from everything you've done
(everything you've done)

If all you ever wanted was to get away
Dear God I hope you’re happy with the choice you made
So break apart all that we've built (x2)

You know I never wanted us to be like this
And every day I wonder how you live with it
Knowing I made it on my own

Was it worth your time to just give up?
I don't think you understand
That because of you i’ll have to run
Away from everything you've done
(everything you've done)

I guess some things aren't meant to last forever
I just thought that this would work itself out in time

I can't get back the days that I spent tangled in the
Wreckage teaching myself how to survive.

I keep on thinking i’ll wake up from this
Lets just pretend it’s alright

Was it worth your time to just give up?
I don't think you understand
That because of you i’ll have to run
Away from everything you've done
(everything you've done)
(x2)


8. SEARCHING FOR ENDINGS

Are you still standing here watching me sink?
The words are filling this room and suffocating me
You can't keep telling me
What I'm supposed to think
I've become so numb to the truth
That I don't feel a thing
(No I don't feel a thing)

And I think I've done enough
Pretending for everyone
That I don't think I'll have to waste
Another breath it always seems

To be pointless and endlessly
Filling me with doubt
And of all the words you've said
I've never heard them for myself

When there's no turning back, nowhere to run
I keep on telling myself

That I've been here before (woah)
With thoughts I can't ignore (woah)
When there's no exit
And we're just searching for endings
We just might get what we want
What we want

And I don't know if you can hear me
But I'm feeling so alone
And I don't know if you're here with me
I've never felt this low

Why have I been searching for things
For things I can't obtain
But I still never feel anything
Unless you're here next to me

Are you still standing here watching me sink?
The words are filling this room and suffocating me
You can't keep telling me
What I'm supposed to think
I've become so numb to the truth

But I've been here before (woah)
With thoughts I can't ignore (woah)
When there's no exit
And were just searching for endings
We just might get what we want
What we want

And I don't know if you can hear me
But I'm feeling so alone
And I don't know if you're here with me
Why can't I let this go?


9. LOST WITHOUT YOU

I'm out of places to run
My hands are tied behind my back can I
Bring myself back to life
Tonight got away from me
Tonight got away from me

So i’ll relapse replay the mistakes I have made
Over and over I wish that I could have changed
What happened next
What happened next you won't believe

She lit the match to start the flame
Left me to bleed
I really would have given her my everything
But all along she always wanted more
I guess attention is just something that she can't ignore

What the hell was that supposed to prove?
You couldn’t tell me what I already knew
I can't believe I ever played this game
That’s all it ever was to you
Are you even listening (x2)
I can't believe I ever played this game
And that’s all it ever was to you (x2)
And that’s all I ever was to you

I miss the fire that we had
Can’t you see (x2)
That there’s always something wrong
But you just keep stringing me along
You just keep stringing me along

What the hell was that supposed to prove?
You couldn’t tell me what I already knew
I can't believe I ever played this game
That’s all it ever was to you
Are you even listening (x2)
I can't believe I ever played this game
And that’s all it ever was to you (x2)
And that’s all I ever was to you

I watched you make your way across the floor
You took his hand and headed for the door
You got me thinking am I lost with you or without you?
I hope you make it back to
The room and when you look into his eyes
There is a moment that you realize
You’re lost without me
(Lost without me)

I watched you make your way across the floor
You took his hand and headed for the door
I am lost without you
I hope you make it back to
The room and when you look into his eyes
There is a moment that you realize
You’re lost without me

I'm out of places to run
My hands are tied behind my back can I
Bring myself back to life
Tonight got away from me
Tonight got away from me

What the hell was that supposed to prove?
You couldn’t tell me what I already knew
I can't believe I ever played this game
That’s all it ever was to you
Are you even listening (x2)
I can't believe I ever played this game


10. MEANT FOR THIS

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when i’ll be coming home
(When i’ll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
(Replay them in my mind)

I’ll never let this go
And it might kill me if I try
To pretend that its all behind me
Tell myself that it wasn't meant to be

The only thing I hope
Is that I make it through the night
So the words that i’ve kept inside me
Will get a chance to see the light

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when i’ll be coming home
(When i’ll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
(Replay them in my mind)

Woah (x2)
What was I running from?
I'm meant for this
Were meant for this

Woah (x2)
What was I hiding from?
It’s hard to see behind the sun

But like the stars in the sky
The answers everywhere
You just won’t see it until
The night is growing near

So i’ll wait up and watch the light
Disappear into the night
I’ll know the battle was won
Once I see the stars burn bright

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when i’ll be coming home
(When i’ll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
(Replay them in my mind)

My only prayer is that this ship that we built ourselves
Doesn't get taken by the waves
And have its pieces sent to hell
(x2)

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when i’ll be coming home


11. NEVER LOOKING BACK

I never sleep
This pressure hurts my head
The thoughts of feeling like we’ll never win
I close my eyes but I’m awake thinking
Will we rise
Or will we sink again?

Retrace the steps that ever lead to this
It always starts with broken promises

My eyes are red but I’m awake thinking
Now’s the time [x4]

You can’t pretend you’re not a witness
It’s time to let them know we’re in control

We’ll last if we keep marching forward
So it’s your time to stand up

We will sing this until they hear us
(no matter what they say)
And we will rise up until they fear us
(we’re never looking back)
We stand together
With strength in numbers
Side by side we are a storm that they can’t control
And we will sing this until they hear us
(we’re never looking back)

In 20 years will it still be the same
Or will our generation change the way
The world around us seems to operate
With the pain and the suffering

You can’t pretend you’re not a witness
It’s time to let them know we’re in control
We’ll last if we keep marching forward
Stand up
Because it’s up to us

We will sing this until the hear us
(no matter what they say)
And we will rise up until they fear us
(we’re never looking back)
We stand together
With strength in numbers
Side by side we are a storm that they can’t control
And we will sing this until the hear us
(we’re never looking back)

And when the dust starts to fade away
The storm has passed
Will it be the same?

Let's just hope for now they change their minds
Once they hear us sing (once they hear us sing)

We will sing this until the hear us
(no matter what they say)
And we will rise up until they fear us
(we’re never looking back)
We stand together
With strength in numbers
Side by side we are a storm that they can’t control
And we will sing this until the hear us
(we’re never looking back)
