Just give me one good reason
Just one to stop me leaving
Cause I can’t think of anything at all
The shock is wearing off and
We’ll both be better off when
I pick myself up and drop you on the floor
Maybe I’m better off this way
With one less hole inside my brain
You’ll never get the best of me
Never again

Cause I’m not gonna be your whipping boy
You’re not gonna run around on me
And I don’t believe this is happening
To me this way
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh

I know you knew my brother and now you know all my friends
I didn’t know that you knew them all that well
You get me looking stupid
So this where it all ends
You pushed me too far one too many times
Maybe I’m better off this way
With one less hole inside my brain
You’ll never get the best of me
Never again

Cause I’m not gonna be your whipping boy
You’re not gonna run around on me
And I don’t believe this is happening
To me this way
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh

There was a time I’d give up anything to hold your hand,
But I’m Wide-awake you’re a big mistake I’ll never make again

Cause I’m not gonna be your whipping boy
You’re not gonna run around on me
I get off work an hour early
To wait up for you until 3

And I don’t believe this is happening
I can’t believe this is happening
I don’t believe this is happening to me this way
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh
I don’t believe it
Whoaoh Whoaoh

I don’t believe it

Tight Rope Walking ain’t That Hard
After Slamming Back A Few
You’re Laughing Now But It ain’t That Funny
When They Get Through With You
Tell me we’re all about failing and being wrong
Tell me I’ll never let go of you, I will never give or take you for a ride

And I can’t hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn’t Cry)
And I can’t hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn’t Die)
And I can’t let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can’t feel myself crying

Standing closer ain’t that bad
With your hands upon your face
You look too far I looked much harder
And they lost all sense of trace
Me and draw up colour me lost and found
Tear me down lift me up you make me feel so god damn colder than you’re bleeding eyes

And I can’t hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn’t Cry)
And I can’t hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn’t Die)
And I can’t let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can’t feel myself crying

If I Never Knew You
I’d Never Love You
If I Never Loved You
Then I Wouldn’t Cry
If I Never Hold You
Then I’ll never know you
If Loving Meant Living
Then I Wouldn’t Die

And I can’t hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn’t Cry)
And I can’t hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn’t Die)
And I can’t let myself go, waiting for you, waiting for you
And I can’t feel myself crying

And I can’t hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn’t Cry)
And I can’t hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn’t Die)
And I can’t hear myself scream (If I Never Loved You, I Wouldn’t Cry)
And I can’t hear myself dream (If Loving Meant Living, Then I Wouldn’t Die)

Believe me
It’s easy
To scream when you’re dreaming
You wonder what’s under your bed when you’re sleeping.
They beat you.
And blame you
For all that you went through
But hey it’s just another Saturday.
It’s only just another saturday.

I love you.
I need you.
Like a thousand times before.
Wonder why I hate you.
But I’ll scream and ask for more.
I only wanted your attention
At least the hate is some connection
But hey, it’s just another Saturday

Believe me,
It’s easy
To live between the lines.
When mommy says sorry,
Over a thousand times.
You’re tied up
You’re cried up.
You gotta get outta here
But hey it’s just another saturday.
It’s only just another saturday.

I love you.
I need you.
Like a thousand times before.
Wonder why I hate you.
But I scream and ask for more.
I only wanted your attention
At least the hate is some connection
If I feel, then I need
If I love, then I’m free
Then I’m free

You make a mess of me
You make a mess of me

I love you.
I need you.
Like a thousand times before.
Wonder why I hate you.
But I scream and ask for more.
I only wanted your attention
At least the hate is some connection
But hey it’s just another Saturday, another Saturday
It’s only just another Saturday.
Another Saturday and I’m free
And I’m free
And I’m free
And I’m free

Johnny Falls
He throws his hands
Into the air, into these walls
He’s freakin out
He’s got a gun
He’ll get his way
He’ll have his fun
You make a mess
You bruise my name
Try to cut me down with every word you say
If you wreck my day
If you wreck my day
You son of a bitch you’re gonna get some

And I’m tired
Of this stupid game
Running in circles from you again
Don’t blame me
For what I gotta do
I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Johnny runs
He shuts his eyes
He only sees
From nine to five
Don’t let him down
He’s got a gun
He’ll get his way
He’ll have his fun
All you wannabes
Don’t have what it takes
To take a shot at me
To put me in my place
If you wreck my day
If you wreck my day
You son of a bitch you’re gonna get some

And I’m tired
Of this stupid game
Running in circles from you again
Don’t blame me
For what I gotta do
I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Don’t push me
Don’t blame me
Or you’ll be sorry
You’re not getting through
I won’t back down
As of right now
I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Wo–ah, wo–ah, wo–ah

See me cry
See me smile
See me fall
See me fly yea
And I’m tired
Of this stupid game
Running in circles from you again
Don’t blame me
For what I gotta do
I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Don’t push me
Don’t blame me
Or you’ll be sorry
You’re not getting through
I won’t back down
As of right now
I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Wo–ah, wo–ah, wo–ah

I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Wo–ah, wo–ah, wo–ah

I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Wo–ah, wo–ah, wo–ah

I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

Wo–ah, wo–ah, wo–ah

I won’t hate myself to be loved by you

woa—h

I’ve heard this all before
Don’t waste my time, don’t break my balls, get out my door.
You wont see me caving in
It’s time I stand and show you what’s making me spin

So if you, peel away the skin
You’ll find the strong survive but they can’t always win
I’ll stand up, to the shallow end
You won’t see me drown when I sink or swim

Don’t spell this out in tears
Don’t play those games or say these names and live your fears
I told you no means no
You had your chance, you broke my heart, its time to go

So if you, peel away the skin
You’ll find the strong survive but they can’t always win
I’ll stand up, to the shallow end
You won’t see me drown when I sink or swim
You won’t see me drown when I sink or swim

So if you, peel away the skin
You’ll find the strong survive but they can’t always win
I’ll stand up, to the shallow end
You won’t see me drown when I sink or swim
Our loves come to a bitter end
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
Sink or swim
You sink or swim

Tell me what I’ve never been
Make me feel broken
Tell me what I should believe
I didn’t know it was broken
And I’m gunnin’ for you
I’m gunnin’ for you
And I will wait, I’ll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone

I hate the way you look at me
As if I was broken
And the perfection of my frailty
Has been questioned and broken

And I’m gunnin’ for you
I’m gunnin’ for you
And I will wait, I’ll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone

And I feel like I’m fine today
I feel like I’m ready to take this on
And I’ll fight you to the grave for it
I’ll never let you take a part of me with you

And I will wait, I’ll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone

And I will wait, I’ll write another letter to myself
And I will find out that morning comes faster alone

The perfection of my frailty
Has been questioned and broken

I heard a distant early warning
But I chose to ignore it
It came back and bit me
Seems like we’re victims of bad timing
Cause you wanted more than I did
I can’t give you what you need

She said “hold me, hold me, closely, closely”
That’s when I should have ran
3.2.1, it’s the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would’ve known to doubt you
I’m better off alone without you
3.2.1, it’s the same old story, love gets gory
Why’d we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

I got so caught up in the moment
That I forgot what it all meant
But still I’d do it all again
You said, “no stings attached, I’m wild”
I didn’t know you’re in denial
And you became my ball and chain

She said, “hold me, hold me, closely, closely”
That’s when I should have ran
3.2.1, it’s the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would’ve known to doubt you
I’m better off alone without you
3.2.1, it’s the same old story, love gets gory
Why’d we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

She said “hold me, hold me, closely, closely”
“Hold me, hold me, closely, closely”
That’s when I should have ran

3.2.1, it’s the final meltdown I want out now
I wish I would’ve known to doubt you
I’m better off alone without you
3.2.1, it’s the same old story, love gets gory
Why’d we have to go and change things?
Now touching you is such a strange thing

She’s holding on while she can
Why’d we have to go and change things?
She’s holding on while she can
Now touching you is such a strange thing
She’s so out of hand
I’m dreading all the baggage and what it brings
She’s so out of hand
But still I’d do it all again

Got in a street fight,
With the I.R.S and I’m alright,
Took one to the chest but I’m fine,
It’s all coming up roses.
Call me ‘The White Guy With A Real Bad Case Of That Pink Eye’
But it’s just a reflection of roses,
It’s all coming up roses.

And God damn it if it all works out,
And God forbid that it should all work out, out, out, out

I’m tired of this
What you see is
What I have never tried to be
Just let me breathe
Just take me anywhere but here
Take me anywhere but here

My fifteen minutes of fame are done,
And I don’t care
I was just having more fun than you,
And I didn’t ask for it anyways.
Now I’m on T.V, guess that’s not cool,
Now I’m a sellout,
But I’m not the only one with name brand shoes on,
You fucking moron.

And God damn it if it all works out,
And God forbid that it should all work out, out, out, out

I’m tired of this
What you see is
What I have never tried to be
Just let me breathe
Just take me anywhere but here
It’s all coming up roses
Gimme all you got
Just take your shot
You come off swinging like a girl
Buy my an ocean
To take me anywhere but here
Take me anywhere but here
I will not go back

So buy me the ocean
And paint it with pretty stars
And sell me to something
Take me anywhere but here [x5]

I’m tired of this
What you see is
What I have never tried to be
Just let me breathe
Just take me anywhere but here
It’s all coming up roses
Gimme all you got
Just take your shot
You come off swinging like a girl
Buy my an ocean
To take me anywhere but here

Take me anywhere but here now take me,
anywhere but here now take me,
anywhere but here now take me,
anywhere but here
I will not go back

Some say love is not for sinners
I believe that isn’t true
‘Cause when I was finished sinning
Love came down and showed me you

And you told me how to get there
So I tried to find a way
Then I ran into your garden
But I tripped out the gate
I tripped out the gate

What are you doing to me?
I’m so into you
And the hardest part is knowing
That I’ll never follow through
You’re slowly killing me
And I wish it wasn’t true
Cause I’m so into you

Like a ton of bricks it hit me
And woke me from this dream
No matter how hard I tried to wash my hands
I could never get ‘em clean
I could never get ‘em clean

What are you doing to me?
I’m so into you
And the hardest part is knowing
That I’ll never follow through
You’re slowly killing me
And I wish it wasn’t true
Cause I’m so into you

Can you hear me?
Cuz I can’t change what I’ll always be
