I think it's time for me to go now
I've done more harm than good
If I could change how this turned out
you know that I would

Sometimes the weight is more than I can hold
I'd rather fail then not know

If it takes forever I will die trying
If it takes forever I will die trying
I will die trying

I wish I knew then what I know now
But I'd probably do the same
I get the feeling it's planned out
from the cradle to the grave

Sometimes the weight is more than I can hold
But I'd rather fail then never really know

If it takes forever I will die trying
If it takes forever I will die trying
I will die trying

I am digging a hole
I am taking it all
I am digging a hole to bury my soul
I am digging

If it takes forever I will die trying

If it takes forever I will die trying
If it takes forever I will die trying
If it takes forever I will die trying
If it takes forever I will die trying
I will die trying
Trying

I've seen better days yeah so says the mirror
It's hard to find divinity when you're the king of men

If I can get thru this I can get thru anything
If I can make it thru this I can get thru anything
If I can get thru this I can get thru anything
If I can make it thru this I promise you
I promise you

It could be much worse yeah, but the call is close
Tomorrow's my reason for today to let go

If I can get thru this I can get thru anything
If I can make it thru this I can get thru anything
If I can get thru this I can get thru anything
If I can make it thru this I promise you
I promise you

With every ounce of who I am I will fight until the end

If I can get thru this I can get thru that
If you cut me wide open I can cut you some slack
If you come when I'm leaving I might never be back
I know it's not easy it's a matter of fact

If I can get thru this I can get thru that
If you cut me wide open I can cut you some slack
If you come when I'm leaving I might never be back
I know it's not easy it's a matter of fact yeah

If I can get thru this I can get thru anything
If I can make it thru this oh I can get thru

I can get thru this
I can get thru this
I can make it thru this
Oh, I can get thru

Seems like everyday you cross my mind even after such a long long time
I'm still thinking about the way you smile,
it tears me apart to know that it won't ever be the same again
No it won't ever be the same again

Now I'm sorry that I left you
I can't go back, I can't change anything
I'm sorry that I said so long, I never meant to hurt you
Sorry I waited so long (that I waited so long)

Not really sure what I'm doing back here
or why I stayed away for all those years
I guess I had to try to find myself
I'm the only one to blame, no one else can ever make it all go away
Or make up, make up for all my mistakes

Now I'm sorry that I left you
I can't go back, I can't change anything
I'm sorry that I said so long
Now I'm sorry that I left you
I can't go back, I can't change anything
I'm sorry that I said so long, I never meant to hurt you

Sorry I waited so long
Sorry I waited so long

If I could do this all over I'd wanna go back, I'd wanna go back
If I could only start over I would take it all back, I would take it all back for you
I would take it all back for you

Seems like everyday you cross my mind even after such a long long time
I'm still thinking about the way you smile

Now I'm sorry that I left you
I can't go back, I can't change anything
I'm sorry that I said so long
Now I'm sorry that I left you
I can't go back, I can't change anything
I'm sorry that I said so long, I never meant to hurt you
Sorry I waited so long, I never meant to hurt you
Sorry I waited so long
Sorry I waited so long (that I waited so long)

He's just a kid on the street
Got it tough trying to make ends meet
So high on low self-esteem
Nowhere to wake up with no place to sleep
I pass him by every week
Offer change and hope he forgives me
But will I ever know his name, will I ever know

Is the whole world crazy now
The whole world's crazy now
I don't wanna believe there's no way out
Is the whole world crazy now

She's got a kid at thirteen
He stole her innocence and fled the scene
Disowned by a daddy who drinks
They found her there by the bathroom sink
Will I ever know her name, will I ever know

Is the whole world crazy now
The whole world's crazy now
I don't wanna believe there's no way out
Is the whole world crazy now

I see your face even with my eyes shut
I see your face, but will I ever know
I see your face even with my eyes shut
I see your face, but will I ever know that I don't even know your name

Is the whole world crazy now
Is the whole world crazy now
I don't wanna believe there's no way out
Don't wanna believe it's over

I don't want to believe there's no way out
Is the whole world crazy now?

. . .


I see an end
Our sun will dive
Blood alone won't bring you life

Darkness falls
Curtains rise
You and I just can't survive

Like broken glass
I see through you
I can't believe the things that you do

With open eye's been cut before
Now I see through closing doors
Watch what you wish for, you know you just might get it

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me

It's hard to sleep in the bed you make
with all the bones that you daybreak

You taught me well
Sure I learned that most of us get what we deserve

Gave me your heart of rusty nails
and now you ask why it impales

What you hide you can't conceal
Through your eyes all is revealed
Watch what you wish for, you know you just might get it

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me

Somebody’s leaving
somebody gives a damn
somebody’s dreaming
‘cause somebody knows they can
you can
for all the times this world ain’t fair
I want you to know

I will be there
to watch you go, to let you know somebody cares
I will be there
to love you when nothing hurts and no one cares

somebody’s dying
somebody’s lost their wings
and somebody’s losing their mind
somebody knows no other way
and when this life gets hard to bear
I want you to know

I will be there
to watch you go, to let you know somebody cares
I will be there
to love you when nothing hurts and no one cares

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be

somebody’s leaving
somebody gives a damn

I will be there
to watch you go, to let you know somebody cares
I will be there
to love you when nothing hurts and no one cares

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be, I will be there.

You think you know me
Got me figured out
Your casting shadows
Forget about the doubt
You think you know me
You think I care
You should spend some time sometime with the person in the mirror

I'm a fist, I'm afraid, I'm a link in the chain
I'm the worst of the best, but I'm in this race
You don't know me
I'm a knife, I'm a rope, I'm a bitter pill
I'm a tooth on the cog that you built to spill
You don't know me

I'm not defined by what you think I am
I won't fall into your predetermined file
All like diamonds without the shine
If you never take the time you never know what you won't find

I'm a crow, I'm the most with the least to gain
I'm a fading Mona Lisa in a plywood frame
You don't know me
I'm a ring on a tree in a life that fell
What I did I done good and what I done I did well
You don't know me

Hate is a river flowing with money and greed
Drawing borders
Lines on a map we don't need

I'm a wall, I'm a fence, I'm a dotted line
I'm the land you kill for in the name of your kind
You don't know me
I'm a storm, I'm a sign, I'm a bleeding heart
I'm the time that got away
It's already gone
You don't know me

. . .


I'm scared to look down
Never been so high
And I can't look up with a closing mind
I'm scared to be touched
I don't like the feel
It's way too close
Way too real

Inside it's raining
It never lets up
I know I'm crazy
Crazy enough to know that I'll find a way to make this all go away

I'm scared to be me
Because I look like you
I don't want to be somebody I never knew
I'm scared to go out
I'm so far in
I hear it's nice
But I've never been

I found me inside
It's Raining
I'm scared to look down
Never been so high
And I can't look up with a closing mind
I'm scared to be touched
I don't like the feel
It's way too close
Way too real

Inside it's raining
It never lets up
I know I'm crazy
Crazy enough to know that I'll find a way to make this all go away

I'm scared to be me
Because I look like you
I don't want to be somebody I never knew
I'm scared to go out
I'm so far in
I hear it's nice
But I've never been

I found my only out, so just forget about talking me down
I'll put this fire out and stop this burning

Inside it's raining
Y only out, so just forget about talking me down
I'll put this fire out and stop this burning

Inside it's raining

. . .


Tonight I feel like the world won't miss me
So much to say but there's no one listening
If we're alone are we all together in that

I threw a penny in a well for wishing
and prayed for all the things I think I'm missing
A little time is all I really need

I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can
The best I can

A second chance to give you something
It takes a lifetime to come from nothing
I refuse to believe in running away

I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know I think you're worth it
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can
The best I can

I got a picture of what matters and I keep it close to my heart
It's a little faded but so am I

Cause I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know nobody's perfect
Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you
I am doing the best I can with everything I am
Don't you know I think you're worth it
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can
The best I can [3x]
The best I can
The best I can

And I'm doing, oh I'm doing the best I can
I am, I'm doing the best, oh the best I can
The best I can, oh the best I can
Oh I keep doing, keep trying

. . .


The first time's easy I could walk away, but something in me makes me stay
The second I leave you I'm without
Third time lucky without a doubt this disease is growing in me from a seed into a twisted tree

It's like an obsession, an addiction
You keep on running straight across, straight across my mind
I'll never look away
It's like the sun has opened up my eyes
You're straight across my mind (my mind)
Straight across my mind (my mind)

Forced expression fails to meet expectations of the weak
Cinco de Mayo comes again
Six years dying to understand this disease that's growing in me from a seed into a twisted tree

It's like an obsession, an addiction
You keep on running straight across, straight across my mind
I'll never look away
It's like the sun has opened up my eyes
You're straight across my mind

Now this disease is growing in me from a seed into a twisted tree

It's like an obsession, an addiction
You keep on running straight across, straight across my mind
I'll never look away
It's like the sun has opened up my eyes
It's like the sun has opened up my eyes
You're straight across my mind (my mind)
Straight across my mind (my mind)
Straight across my mind

. . .


When I hesitate I know it's just too late to bring you back, but still I need you
I can't communicate the burden of this weight
My world is black until I see you

I don't know how, I don't know when, but I can finally breathe again
Life's too short, the day's too long
In the end I knew it all along
I knew it all along

Two sides of a knife, story of my life, the pain is sharp a comfort bleeds through
I can't seem to clear my head, I wish that I was dead
Falling apart cause I still need you

I don't know how, I don't know when, but I can finally breathe again
Life's too short, the day's too long
In the end I knew it all along
Like a newborn child, like a raven in the wind
I can finally breathe again
I can finally breathe again

When I hesitate I know it's just too late to bring you back, but still I need you

I don't know how, I don't know when, but I can finally breathe again
Life's too short, the day's too long
In the end I knew it all along
Like a newborn child, like a raven in the wind
I can finally breathe again

I don't know how, I don't know when, but I can finally breathe again
Life's too short, the day's too long
In the end I knew it all along
Like a newborn child, like a raven in the wind
I can finally breathe again, yeah
I can finally breathe again, yeah
I can finally breathe again

I don't know how, I don't know when, but I can finally breathe again
Life's too short, the day's too long
In the end I knew it all along
I can finally breathe again
I knew it all along
I can finally breathe again
