I CAN FEEL THE WEIGHT OF IT ALL LATELY
IVE GONE AND REPLACED EVERY WORD THEYVE TRIED TO SAY
PLEASE BRING ME BACK TO LIFE CUT ME DOWN A SIZE
IS THIS THE END? DID I MEAN WHAT I SAID BACK THEN?
I NEVER MEANT TO REVERSE OUR PROGRESS
AND IF IT IS WHAT IT WAS DID YOU LOVE IT?
OH DID YOU LOVE IT?
BURY IT ALL OR GET YOUR POINT ACROSS
IVE BEEN ASHAMED OF MYSELF THIS WHOLE TIME
SO SHOULD WE BEGIN WHEN I SAID IT SHOULD END?
IT'S BEEN A MONSOON I HOPE IT ENDS SOON
I CANT TELL WHATS WORSE
KNOWING THE TRUTH UNABLE TO MOVE
OR YOU CUT ME LOOSE AND I STILL FEEL YOU
IS THIS THE END? DID I MEAN WHAT I SAID BACK THEN?
I GUESS I MEANT TO REVERSE OUR PROGRESS
AND SINCE IT IS WHAT IT WAS DID I LOVE IT?
I DIDNT LOVE IT
BURY IT ALL OR GET YOUR POINT ACROSS
IVE BEEN ASHAMED OF MYSELF THIS WHOLE TIME
SO SHOULD WE BEGIN WHEN I SAID IT SHOULD END?
ITS BEEN A MONSOON I HOPE IT ENDS SOON
IF I ONLY KNEW AND LEARNED EARLY ON
I WOULD HAVE GIVEN LOVE WITH A ROTTING HEART
WITH MEMORIES ON THE TABLE
IVE BEEN PRAYING FOR A MOMENT TO FOLD
EVERY ACE I HELD YOU BURNT A HOLE
HIT A TWENTY ONE AND IVE BEEN MISERABLE
SO IF YOU MEANT TO DISAPPEAR
THEN I KNEW YOU WOULD
ALWAYS KNEW YOU WOULD
WE WERE MEANT TO DISAPPEAR
WITH A ROTTING HEART

WITH THE GOLDEN GATE TO MY LEFT SIDE
AND THE CABLE CAR WHEELS GRINDING AND SCREAMING UP AT US
IT WAS CHINA TOWN WHERE I FELT LOVE
LIKE COCAINE IN MY NOSE
ANY FILM WE HAD IS IN CHEMICALS
THE ONLY PROOF WE HAVE OF SAN FRANCISCO
WE HAD EVERYTHING IN SAN FRANCISCO
FOUND OUT YOURE USING AGAIN
I JUST GOT OFF A PLANE
I TOOK A DOZEN IBUPROFEN IN HOPES ITD KEEP YOU OUT OF MY HEAD
DO YOU KNOW HOW OVER PRICED IT IS?
DO YOU KNOW HOW OVERPRICED THEM PILLS IS?
IM NO LONGER WISHING TO BE DEAD
CANT SAY THE SAME FOR YOURSELF WHEN
YOU CHOSE A HIGHWAY OF SHOOTING UP WITH HEROINE
NO MEDICATION OR SENTENCING CAN HELP OUT
SINCE THEN I BEEN PRAYING TO YOUR GOD
HE WONT COVER ME IN HIS BLOOD
BUT I LUCKILY COVERED COSTS
ROUND THE BLOCK SCRATCH OFF CARD I WON
WERE A LOT ALIKE YOU KNOW
WERE LOT ALIKE YOU KNOW
BUT IM NO LONGER WISHING TO BE DEAD
AND I MISS THE COLOR OF WHEN
I CHOSE A HIGHWAY OF GIVING UP THOUGH I NEVER DID
NO MEDICATION OR SENTENCING CAN HELP OUT
WHEN YOU SAID HEY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
WAS AN HABITUAL SATURDAY
SPENDING TIME BEHIND A CIGARETTE
WHEN DID I EVER START SMOKING CIGARETTES?
GOING ON BENDERS UNTIL I BREAK
BEEN LOSING FRIENDS AND GAINING WEIGHT
IF I ACT MY AGE THEN I WANT ALL THIS TO END
SO WHEN THE YEARS BRING A STOP TO MY HEART
WILL I KNOW IT WAS ALL THAT SIMPLE
WERE A LOT ALIKE YOU KNOW YOU KNOW
WERE A LOT ALIKE YOU KNOW YOU KNOW
WERE A LOT ALIKE YOU KNOW I KNOW
WERE A LOT ALIKE YOU KNOW
WERE A LOT ALIKE YOU KNOW

unsteady as we go
been feeling like a comedown
since you broke my heart
when you broke my heart
when you crashed my car
remember that?
do I wish it were different?
8 ball says ask again.
do I wish it were different?
Or is this the end.
Unsteady we stay
been feeling like a comedown everyday
since you broke my heart
when you broke my heart
when you crashed my car
Ill always remember that
I do wish it were different
my 8 ball is adamant
I do wish it were different
and this is the end.
Heaven missed out when they lowered me down
you were the last thing i thought about so the first id forget when I left
but say what you will about my debt and what it meant
be left with this.
be left with this.

NEVERMIND DONT COME ROUND
IT HURTS ME TO SING
IM STARTING TO CALLOUS
THE ONE THING THAT I LOVE
IS ALL IM BEGINNING TO HATE
YEAH IT HURTS TO BE THE ONE TO COME
AND RUIN ALL THAT WEVE BEEN PROTECTING
THERES NO WORDS THAT COME INTO MY HEAD
GO ON AND PUSH ME TO THE LEDGE
AND I WILL BREAK APART AND HOPE TO FIND
A COMMON GROUND TO WALK UPON
AND TAKE A BREATH FROM WHERE WE WERE
AND FROM WHO I WAS BEFORE I FORGOT
TELL ME WHO I WAS BEFORE I FORGOT
IT HURTS ME TO SING
IM STARTING TO CALLOUS
THE ONE THING THAT I LOVE
IS ALL IM BEGINNING TO HATE
AND NO ITS NOT BECAUSE
A CHANGE OF HEART
ITS WHO I WAS BEFORE I FORGOT
WHEN YOU WERE SEARCHING FOR RELIANCE
ID GO AND COUGH ANOTHER LIE
ID WANT TO BUY MYSELF MORE TIME
ITS NO SURPRISE MY DOUBTS HAVE WEIGHED US DOWN
WHEN I GET UP OFF THAT CEMENT
ILL FACE THE SKY UNTIL I SUNBURN
BURN OUT ALL THE LIGHTS IN MY EYES
I WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING REAL BEFORE I DIE
AND IF THIS DOESNT WORK I THINK WE ALL WILL BE SURPRISED
GO BACK TO A NINE TO FIVE
I WASTED OUR TIME FOR A COMMON LIFE
IT HURTS ME TO SING
IT HURTS ME TO SING
IT HURTS ME TO SING
IM STARTING TO CALLOUS
THE ONE THING THAT I LOVE
IS ALL IM BEGINNING TO HATE
AND NO ITS NOT BECAUSE
A CHANGE OF HEART
ITS WHO I WAS BEFORE I FORGOT
I FORGOT
I FORGOT
I FORGOT
WITH A ROTTING HEART
WHEN I GET UP OFF THAT CEMENT
ILL FACE THE SKY UNTIL I SUNBURN
