Daughtry – Over You

Now that it’s all said and done
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I felt as if I was in way to deep
Guess I let you get the best of meeee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally gettin’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say,
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of other’s opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for meee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally getting’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time agooo
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you

And I never saw it coming
I should have started running
I’m finally getting better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!

The day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you…


Daughtry – Home

I’m staring out into the night
And trying to hide the pain
I’m going to the place where love
can feel but they dont live the cost of fame
In pain it feels a different kind of pain
I’m going home to the place where I belong
where your love has always been enough for me
I’m running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I’m going home
The miles are getting longer it seems
The closer I get to you…. babe
And I’ve always been the best man and friend for you
To love and make true and I dont know why
You always seem to give me another try
I’m going home
To the place where I belong
Where your love has always been good enough for me
I’m running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
cause you just might get it all
you just might get it all and then some you dont want
be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
I’m going home to the place where I belong
Where your love has always been enough for me
And I’m running from.. you know I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me’
But these places and these faces are getting old
But these places and these faces are getting old
I’m going home
I’m going home


Daughtry – Used To

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around
You used to lean on me
The only other choice was falling down
You used to walk with me like
We had no where we needed to go
Nice and slow
To no place in particular

We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
The nights were clearer for the first time that I’d see
We used to have this under control
We never thought we used to know
At least there’s you
And at least there’s me
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back?
To how it used to be

I used to reach for you
I got lost along the way
I used to listen
You always had the just right thing to say
I used to follow you
Never really cared where we would go
Fast or slow
To anywhere at all

We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
The nights were clearer for the first time that I’d see
We used to have this under control
We never thought we used to know
At least there’s you
And at least there’s me
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back?
To how it used to be

I look around me
And I want you to be there
Cause I miss the things that we shared
Look around you
It’s empty and you’re sad
Don’t you miss the love that we had?

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around
The only one around

We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
The nights were clearer for the first time that I’d see
We used to have this under control
We never thought we used to know
At least there’s you
And at least there’s me
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back?
To how it used to be yeah
To how it used to be

To how it used to be yeah
To how it used to be
To how it used to be


Daughtry – It’s Not Over

I was blown away what could I say
It all seemed to make sense
You’ve taken away everything
And I can’t do without
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find

(Chorus)
Blow it away, Blow it away
Can we make this something good
Well I tried to do it right this time around
Let’s start over
I tried to do it right this time around
Its not over
There’s a part of me that’s dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you’re the only one
Its not over
(Chorus)

Taken all I could take and I cannot wait
Were wasting to much time
Being strong holding on
Cant let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won’t give up that easily

(Chorus)
Blow it Away, Blow it Away
Can we make this something good
Cause its all misunderstood
Well I tried to do it right this time around
Let’s start over
I tried to do it right this time around
It’s not over
Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
But you’re the only one
It’s not over
(Chorus)

We can’t let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don’t get caught up in yourself
Let it out

(Chorus)
Let’s start over
I tried to do it right this time around
It’s not over
Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
But you’re the only one
It’s not over
Let’s start over
Its not over, Oh yeah, yeah!
This love is killing me
But you’re the only one
It’s not over…..


Daughtry – Traffic Light

The traffic light
Waits for you to tell me the tale of a shattered life, tonight
And I just passed by when you have had the chance to fight
Or would you spend your last days alone
Thinkin nobody would have cared
or known just look me in the eye and see that its a light
So you’re telling me, this is how you’re going down
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Well you are way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how Id never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
What I left behind, what I left behind
Need a change
In a minute of my time did I get your name?
Well you say, that I haven’t been asked that in years
Now I think, the traffic light that stood in the way
So that I can hear what you had to say
I’m half way through your story
Cant help thinking that you’re just like me

This is how I’m going down
I thought that they never really wanted me around
Well I was way off track to think like that
Coz now I’m taken back, everything that I ever said
bout how they’d never want to see me again
Well this is what I, what I left behind

Forgetting about ourselves
Is like history that dust is covering left on the self, on the self
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say

Yeah, this is how you’re going down
You thought I’d never really wanted you around
Well you were way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how I never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
This is how you’re going down
This is what I, what I left behind


Daughtry – One Last Chance

Tell me what you need and I will find a way to stop the bleeding;
No, don’t add to my mistakes.
Tell me you’re not leaving and I’ll tell you everything you need to know.
Don’t throw it all away, don’t say my words are just too late.

I don’t want to be left behind, I’ve been so blind to all that I have broken.
Can we put this back together?
No more empty promises, they don’t exist; just me out in the open.
I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?

You say the story’s ending but I think it’s time we stop pretending;
No, can’t let you turn the page.
Does your heart remember when we used to say forever, don’t let go.
Don’t throw it all away; don’t say these words are just too late.

I don’t want to be left behind, I’ve been so blind to all that I have broken.
Can we put this back together?
No more empty promises, they don’t exist; just me out in the open.
I know this will take time, can we put the past behind us,
Tonight I’m gonna fight for you; just give me one last chance to make it right,
Last chance to make it right.

I don’t want to be left behind, I’ve been so blind to all that I have broken.
Can we put this back together?
No more empty promises, they don’t exist; just me out in the open.
I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?

Give me one last chance to make it right,
A last chance to make it right
A last chance to make it right
No more empty promises, they don’t exist; just me out in the open.
I know this will take time, can you give me one last chance to make it right?


Daughtry – Get Me Through

Cry out all who care to know
I’ve been hollow way too long
I know where I’m going wrong
There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…

Color blind I paint your blue sky grey
But this time you’ll shed some light on me
Just before I fade away
There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…

All the chances that you’re takin’
The promises that I keep breaking down
Writings on the wall
Can’t make out all the letters
But I know it’s getting better now
The writings on the wall

Get me through…

There’s nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through…


Daughtry – On The Inside

[Verse 1:]
Your life is like a crack in the mirror
7 years of bad luck it aint getting better now
Not till all is said and done
Reflection in the window is the same old face
Background small town everywhere you look around
Tell me what you’re runnin from

Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but its tails

[Chorus:]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you’re sure you wont be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can pretend it’ll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside

Still you on the inside…

[Verse 2:]
Nothin faster than the speed of your leavin
A hundred miles an hour and there aint no slowin down
But you cant outrun yourself
Hey you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck
But now you’re skipping like a broken record goin round
You’re the last to ask for help

You flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but its tails

[Chorus:]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you’re sure you wont be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can’t pretend it’ll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know its just a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside

Still you on the inside

[Bridge:]
Its never really been a question of how far
And at the end of every destination there you are

[Ending Chorus:]
You can move to another town
Hide where you’re sure you won’t be found
But its still just you on the inside
You can pretend it will be alright
No matter how you sell it
When you tell it its a lie
Cause its still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside (You can go and change and to me you’ll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (You can try and run and know you’ll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside (You can go and change and to me you’ll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (You can try and run and know you’ll always be the same inside)
Still love you on the inside.


Daughtry – What Have We Become

All those years
One day changes everything, and
Gone and your life and the passion fades away
Saving for something
That you’ll never see in your days
Shutting out everything that you need

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for “ever after”
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Giving in or leaving this now
Now we have what we have become
All the tears
We never thought we’d see the day when
The trappings of your life would seem to disappear
Goin through the vacancy you leave behind
Not what you have promised,
Not what you believed

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for “ever after”
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters
Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away
Now we have what we have become
Now you fight to ease your pain
Now you know it’s not the way out
Now you know it’s not the way out
Not the way out

Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters
Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away
Now we have what we have become


Daughtry – Long Way

Dusty roads
Hopeless nights
Looking at.. blinding lights
Saw your ghost here tonight
It lingers on and I feel your life
Pulling me back to the place
But the thought of staring back at you is more than I can face
And its a long way down
From where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land.
And its a long way down..
To you

Dusty roads,
Hopeless nights..
Looking at blinding lights
Saw your ghost,
Its alive.
It lingers on, feel your life.
Pulling me back to the place…
But the thought of staring back at you was more than I could face

And it’s a long way now,
From where I used to rest my head
And it’s safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land
It’s a long way down to you..
To you
To you
To you…

Saw your ghost..
It’s alive.
Lingers on, I feel your life..

And it’s a long way now
To where I used to rest my head
And it’s safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
And It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down
To where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There’s no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
And it’s a long way down to you…
