1. MY TURN

I have been patiently waiting in line
Watching everyone passing me by
And I can't seem to figure out
When's it gonna be my turn?

I'm sick and tired of payin' my dues
Play the game till the end then I lose
So can somebody tell me
When's it gonna be my turn?

When's it gonna be my turn?

Yesterday I've learnt from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

I've always followed and played by the rules
But the prize goes to those who are true
Still nobody can answer me
When's it gonna be my turn?

When's it gonna be my turn?

Yesterday I've learnt from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
Cause yesterday I've burnt from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?

Whoa

When's it gonna be my turn?

Whoa

When's it gonna be my turn?

Yesterday I've learnt from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
Cause yesterday I've burnt from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?



2. I DON'T THINK I LOVE YOU

I wonder what you'll take from me today
Sanity or just my breath away
It's hard to say
Impossible for me to tell
We're always walking on eggshells
Who you're going to be from day to day today

I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

Wonder why it is that you don't see
What you've changed since we first met
And how much that is killing me
I know that I will always miss
The butterflies of our first kiss
And how you use to smile so easily

I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never thought that it will come to this
I know we'll never get back
To how we were before
Cuz I know that I don't love you anymore

It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I know that I don't love you anymore, anymore

I'm sorry...


3. SO CLOSE, SO FAR

I wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar.
Been gone so many days, I'm losing count.
When I think of home, I see your face.
I know I have to wait…

So close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I miss hearing your laughter
And all the little things
Forgotten what it's like to hold you
Cause where I am right now so unforgiving
It's numbing everything

So close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

So promise
No matter how long it takes for me to get back to you
You'll wait for me.

I Promise
No matter how far away I go I'll come back for you
Just wait and see

I miss being at home
I miss your face
Don't think I can wait...

We're So close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you


4. ALL ABOUT YOU

I spill out my heart, but you don't hear a word
'cause you're busy thinking 'bout how long 'til it's your turn.

So you can go on and on about yourself
Go on and on about yourself
And my heart can go back on the shelf
Go on and on about yourself!

But it's not all about you
All about you
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you
It's not all about you
The world turns without you
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you

Whatever I do, you've already done
Only you've done it better and way before anyone.

'Cause you think that it's some game to win
You think that it's some game to win
Accomplishments and places been
You think that it's some game to win

But it's not all about you
All about you
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you
It's not all about you
The world turns without you
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you
Care about you, you, you

You go on and on and on about yourself
You go on and on and on about yourself

The list of who you know
The places that you've been

Well can't you see nobody cares about you
It's not all about you
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you
It's not all about you
The world turns without you
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you
Care about you


5. THE LETTER

"Meet me there at midnight
same place we always go
You're absolutely sure he doesn't know?"
Those words jump off the letter that I found behind our bed
Haunting me, they echo in my head
In my head

It's too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that I found
I've memorized it line for line
Too bad that letter isn't mine

No...

"When can I next see you?
I've been counting down the days
I promise you our secret will be safe."
No, I just can't continue reading through my tears
the meaning of the letter is so clear
So clear

It's too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that I found
I've memorized it line for line
Too bad that letter isn't mine

You wanted me to find it
You never tried to hide it
The writing never fades
those words are here to stay

"If you find this letter
I'm writing you today
these will be the last words that I say."

It's too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
It's all here in this letter that you found
It's too late to try and work it out (it's too late)
there's no way to turn this thing around (there's no way)
It's all here in this letter that you found
So memorize it line for line
I won't be there to say goodbye


6. TEARS OF YESTERDAY

I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The sky is cold and gray
Just like it was when we both went our separate ways
And the rain won't wash away
All the dirt of my mistakes

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The deafening sound of rain
Its not enough to drown my thoughts or ease the pain
So instead I'll soak it in
While I stare outside again

And I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The sun just won't seem to come out
Not since you walked away
Now I cannot escape
I cannot escape the rain
The rain

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday


7. SICK OF HANGING ON

First you tell me it's over,
Then you try to get me to stay.
I'm so confused,
What am I gonna do?
You pull me in so you can push me away?
The minute you tell me you need me,
But it's right before you walk out the door!
You're hot then you're cold, now the game's getting old
Who am I supposed to be anymore?

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

Choose cause you can't have it both ways
Choose so I know what to do
Cause I can't believe that's who you're going to be
You've had your cake and now you're leaving it too!

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on
You need to make up your mind
And even though it'll stand
This is your only chance

I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

Let me know or I'll let go!

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on


8. YOU'RE THE ONE

Tonight I'm letting go
Of all the old excuses
The fears I built so close
'Cause inside I've always known
That no one else could ever do
Or ever feel like home

There's so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure

You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say

My life began
The night we spent together
Now I cannot live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid
You're the one

It's hasn't always been
The best of times
But if you'd ask
I'd do it all again

Are you ready to begin?
I'm ready to begin
A brand new chapter of our lives
Just tell me where and when
A brand new chapter in our lives)

'Cause theres so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure

You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say

My life began
The night we spent together
Now I cannot live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid
You're the one

You're the one
Who understands
Who makes me better than I am
I do it all because of you
When all we had
Had come undone
You stood and fought
And didn't run
You're the one who
Pulled us through

You're the one
I feel it more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say

Our lives began
The night we spent together
Now I cannot live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid
You're the one


9. WHO THE HELL AM I ?

No more lyin to myself
Pretending to be someone else
And no more hiding how I feel behind a smile
Livin in constant self denial
There is something I need to say
No more runnin from a fight
And no more givin' up when I know I'm right
Sick of tryin to fit in
And wonderin' what I could've been
There's somethin' I need to say
It's callin everyday
Things are going to change

I won't apologize
For who I've come to be
Cuz who the hell am I
If I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cuz who the hell am I
If I can't be me?

No more need to justify
Everything I do, everything I like
No more blood from bitin' my tongue
Too afraid to upset anyone
There's somethin' I need to say
No more guilt for what I see
In the mirror starin' back at me
There's somethin' I need to say
It's callin everyday
Things are going to change

I won't apologize
For who I've come to be
Cuz who the hell am I
If I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cuz who the hell am I
If I can't be me?

And it feels like I am naked
Stripped for you to see
My scars and imperfections
You never seem to notice
You're too busy covering up your bruises and cuts from who knows what
Just like me

So why apologize
For who I've come to be
Cuz who the hell am I
If I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cuz this is who I am
And that's fine with me


10. YOU NEED TO BE HERE

I feel the wind brush across my face like an invisible wave crashing over me
I started holding my breath the moment I left
wondering what the day was going to bring for me.
But there's no way that I could ever prepare for the scope of it all, for the chill in the air
The cold of the rain, the warmth of the day
I'm never going to be the same.

The whole world's racing by
and no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me.
They come and go so fast
these moments never last (they never last)
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me.

It's something new, and beyond every corner is a mystery
'cause every road that I've taken could never be mistaken for the one that now is under my feet.
And I realize with open eyes
every second that we have is once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime.

The whole world's racing by
and no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me.
They come and go so fast
these moments never last (they never last)
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me.

'Cause something's incomplete
not quite how it should be
And I try and I try just to live in the moment.
But everything I do
just leads me back to you
'Cause there is no substitute.

The whole world's racing by
and no words can describe how this feels inside (feels inside)
You need to be here, you need to be here with me.
They come and go so fast
these moments never last (they never last)
You need to be here, you need to be here with me.


11. GONE GONE GONE

I've been having trouble looking in the mirror
'cause when I do, I can't stand the person that I see
Although my face is still the same
underneath something has changed
from all the shit you've said and done to me
Oh, no no.

Don't you ever realize the damage you were doing?
Are you aware of all the mess that I've cleaned up?
And now I see just who you are
I can't believe it got this far
and it's time to say enough is enough.

So I'll be gone, gone, gone
We started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone
We ended up in hell.
So don't waste my time with one more lie
It's too late to apologize.
By the time this song is done
I'll be gone!

I should have listened when my friends said you were crazy
I should've shown a little spine and self-respect
But I couldn't see the signs
the so-called "love" had made me blind
And tied me up and left me for dead.

So I'll be gone, gone, gone
We started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone
We ended up in hell.
So don't waste my time with one more lie
It's too late to apologize.
By the time this song is done
I'll be gone!

I'll be gone!

Don't beg me to reconsider
Don't bother getting on your knees
'Cause there's absolutely nothing you can say to change my mind
so save your breath.
Save your breath.

'Cause I'll be gone
We started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone
We ended up in hell.
So don't waste my time with one more lie
It's too late to apologize.
By the time this song is done
I'll be gone!

I'll be gone!
I'll be gone!


12. STAY WITH ME

You've felt unloved before
You've felt unwanted
You've tried to close the door on a past
in which you're haunted.

I don't know how to make it right
I don't know how to change it
I just know it wasn't your fault
So just let me say this.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

The past is a memory
The future's a mystery (the future's a mystery)
Where we'll be going
What will we be
As long as it's you and me.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me (I promise I'll be there)

You can go back if you want to
I've always been there
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me (Stay with me)


13. REPLACE YOU (BONUS)

In a darkened room
right beside the bed
There an empty suitcase waits 'til I leave again.

I try to fill it up
with things that feel like home
but no matter what goes in, I still feel alone
When I'm on my own.

No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.

Now it's time to go
and you're still sound asleep
when you wake up, next to you just cold empty sheets.

I gather all my things
from off the bedroom floor
One more kiss reminds me of what I'm leaving for
Then I close the door.

No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.

Nothing can ever replace you
Nothing can ever replace you

You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me

Oh...oh...
Oh...oh...
Oh...

No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.
