Do you care? Did you ever? Was there anything you've ever wanted more? More than ever, you've been pacing every room Just sit down, pull together Hold the thought and never let it go Pull together, you've been pacing every room New words to fall asleep to, dream with Stop hiding inside yourself Find a way to fins what you're after Fight all disasters And find your own way I'll find my own way out "I'll be there, I swear I won't let you down" You swore "I'll be there, I swear" But you weren't around You swore New words to fall asleep again

Smile, your eyes look so sad It's not like everything we've had is broken down It's just changing Shows just how different we are When time will see us fall apart If it seen us at all Was this everything you've ever wanted Everything you ever needed Holding something so small Am I better off on my own? Cause it's not me All the things I want that we can't be All the words I'd say but we don't speak You're trying to forget and you tell me That hurts me the most Don't act so surprised You let go Cause I'm sick of risking All the life I've thrown Am I better off on my own? Cause it's not me All the things I want that we can't be All the words I'd say but we don't speak You're trying to forget and you tell me That hurts me the most And I miss the thought of what could be And hope's sitting there in front of me It's not out of mind but it's out of reach for me

I'm calling you out in my own way I'm calling you out on your own Past the words Past the obvious arrogance not unheard I'm a little over your own way You're a little over indulged In your own In a way I can't take and it's closed for good You know I will I over stepped that mark Inside I was always at fault I crossed that line But I'm a little over it I'll take one last look At the shame that I'll always endure Was it all my fault? All at one time she was falling apart She was calling and crying I held her head close to my heart And it felt so good Things I ignored The guilt I was feeling, the fact it was wrong I tried to hold on for so long Cause it felt so good Hide my face from prying eyes That make me feel so sorry That this happening Right when I see That this could be me She's falling down all around me Falling down right in front of me Oh, I've seen it all With my own eyes Taking it on Righting my own rights Oh I've seen it all With my own eyes Taking it on Fighting my own fight

All so awkward, Oh so sure You'll give me yours, I'm holding mine I'll try to hear you out this time It was over, I was sure There's something there you fail to see It doesn't feel the same for me But don't say I'll be the one to blame No one's to blame Hold onto the one's that you love Hold dearly the things you're clearly thinking of Don't be scared, I'll be there if you call And I'll sit by the embers, fading so slow Breathe calmly, you'll be alright And I'll drink from the water you left alone Breathe calmly, you'll be alright Honestly though, you'll be relieved When you find your way home Please let me know Give me a reason you're distant and closed Heartbreak to heartache You're acting so cold Say to me now if you're scared and alone We need to change for better or for worse Why's it so hard to find A reason why we try? Don't say a word And I'll sit by the embers, fading so slow Breathe calmly, you'll be alright And I'll drink from the water you left alone Breathe calmly, you'll be alright Honestly though, you'll be relieved If you find your way out

Sleepless nights Is where this story started Blood and teardrops And fears of failing hearts It was you that took that first step Ever since you've left me breathless But it's hard to be left walking in the dark Just one kiss, it's obvious i need this Times depressing whenever you're not here And it's wrong to feel I know this When your love is someone elses While my mind ignores, my eyes just can't deny So tear down, tear it down Why's it hard to stop pretending Someone new for something ending Tear down, it wears me out Take the it me to talk this over Love grows strong while hearts grow colder Tear down, or tear it out I'll be the life that you wanted I'll be the knife to end it Cause we tried, but we failed Doubt leads to fear Leads to you leaving me right here Hope disappears Leads to you leaving me in tears Lie for, cry for, die for me Would you lie for, cry for, die for me? Would you die for me? Whisper in my ears or scream out

It grows ever, ever so slow With no thoughts of letting her know When all you wanted was Someone to rely on, something you could hold When all you wanted was A chance to ask her over, and over To love as if you don't know loss To do the things we do so well To hold the smile that feels like home Don't stop cause I'm not letting go A dream of ever after, awake alone and cold Don't stop cause I'm not letting go The thought of me without you An empty heart to hold Don't stop cause I'm not letting go The misery in mystery, it makes this so hard When I'm feeling so close, but we're so far apart And honestly, the part of me that feels so low Is the part that can't speak when the words mean the most It won't stop cause I'm not letting go Was it all over then? Was it all ever gone? Does it still hurt when I say that I'll always be yours? To love as if you don't know loss To do the things we do so well To hold the smile that feels like home Don't stop cause I'm not letting go
