Speak to me
Tell me something so typical
A lullaby or something miserable
That will keep me up at night

Cross out my eyes
I know you planned it
You know I love you
And I can't stand it
We just lost control
(we just lost control)

Lie to me
Give me something worth living for
Tell me a reason worth fighting for
Give me anything, anything to keep me breathing
Lie to me
Give me something worth living for
Tell me a reason worth fighting for
Give me anything, anything to keep me breathing

Go lie to me
Tell me stories so beautiful
An epic of something so terrible
That it makes me weep

Cross out these days
On your calendar
It hurts me so much
And I'm not quite sure
I care anymore
(I care anymore)

Lie to me
Give me something worth living for
Tell me a reason worth fighting for
Give me anything, anything to keep me breathing
Lie to me
Give me something worth living for
Tell me a reason worth dying for
Give me anything, anything to keep me breathing

It's so simple and complicated.
The way you can crush me.
No matter how much this hurts, this is through.
I get as far as your door before I get caught.
I make up excuses just to touch you and I can't stop, I can't stop.

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don't end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?

You're so good at pretending everything is alright.
You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked.

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don't end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?

You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don't end for weeks.

[x2]

You're so good

What would you say if I asked you not to go
To forget everyone, forget everything and start over with me
Would you take my hand and never let me go
Promise me you'll never let me go

And now the stars aren't out tonight,
But neither are we to look up at them
Why does hello feel like goodbye?
These memories can't replace,
These wishes I wished and dreams I chased
Take this broken heart and make it right

I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
I thought you should know,
You're not making this easy

I never thought I'd be the one to say
Please don't, well please don't leave me

I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
I thought you should know,
You're not making this easy

You're not making this easy (easy, easy, easy...)

Take my hand and never let me go,
Take my hand and never let me go,
Promise me...
You'll never let go
You'll never let go
You'll never let go
You'll never let go
Make this last forever

I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
I thought you should know,
You're not making this easy

You're not making this easy
You're not making this easy
You're not making this easy
You're not making this easy

Let's start out by starting over.
What did I expect?
You're no good at lying and I'm no good at comebacks.
But you're so untouchable.
I'm oh-so-terrible at this.
I'm terrible at this, you know.

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.

And I bet you've got every word I said
Memorized in your head.
And you'll use every one of them,
And you'll use every one of them against me.

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.
(Tell all your friends about me)
Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.

I hope you choke on every word you spoke when you were screaming at me.
And realize how many times I've tried, but that's wishful thinking.
All I want is an apology for what you did and how you treated me.
Get me far away, or at least as far as this car will take me.

I hope you choke on every word you spoke when you were screaming at me.
(Get me far away, or at least as far as this car will take me)
(Tell all your friends about me)

spoke

(Tell all your friends...)

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.
(Tell all your friends about me)
Don't (Tell all your friends about me)
Hold this against me (Tell all your friends about me)

We drive tonight,
And you are by my side.
We're talking about our lives,
Like we've known each other forever.
The time flies by,
With the sound of your voice.
Its close to paradise,
With the end surely near.
And if I could only stop the car
And hold onto you,
And never let go (and never let go)
I'll never let go (I'll never let go)
As we round the corner
To your house
You turned to me and said,
"I'll be going through withdrawal of you
For this one night we have spent."
And, I want to speak these words
But I guess i'll just bite my tongue,
And accept "someday, somehow"
As the words that we'll hang from.

And I (I..), I don't want to speak these words.
'cause I ('cause I..), I don't want to make things any worse.
And I (I..), I don't want to speak these words.
'cause I, I don't want to make things any worse.

Why does tonight, have to end?
Why don't we hit restart,
And pause it at our favorite parts.
We'll skip the goodbyes.
If I had it my way,
I'd turn the car around and runaway,
Just you and I.

And I (I..), I don't want to speak these words.
'cause I ('cause I..), I don't want to make things any worse. (any worse)
And I (I..), I don't want to speak these words
'cause I, I don't want to make things

Lights out and my seat back as far as it will go
Casting shadows like statues
I'm right outside your window
There's no such thing as second chances
There's no such thing don't bother to explain

You're so beautiful did you hear a word I said
You're so beautiful I guess this is what I get

[Chorus]
We trust and believe so easily in words they speak
We seek security in one another but there's no way to cover this
And these tragic nights and afternoons wreak disaster
And I can still feel you as if you were in the room
Where does our story end where does it start
I buried you along with my heart

Entertain me and tell me "it didn't mean anything"
It's vengous worth my tolerance and I could be careless
But I promise you'll feel everything

You're so beautiful did you hear a word I said (don't bother to explain)
You're so beautiful I guess this is what I get (don't bother to explain)

[Chorus]

I guess this is what I get
(I know I know I know I know I know I know I know)
[x2]

[Chorus]

My eyes burn from these tears
You'd think I'd learn over these years
Good things won't last forever

So what the hell am I suppose to do
You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you
And you had it all anyway

So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place

So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place

Tell me I'm wrong when I say
I can't expect you to spend forever with me
I live for that single moment

I take back everything I've said
You wore those words on your lips
As if they meant anything anyway

Sometimes I feel I could drop off the face of the earth
It seems I do more harm than good
And I don't know if it's worth me loosing sleep over this

So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place

So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place

Tell me I'm wrong when I say it
I can't expect you to spend forever with me
I live for that single moment

So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place

Leave a message on your phone
Just to find out you're not home
Keeping up with you is something I could never do
And I know something's wrong
Cause you've been gone too long
A fucking waste of my time is all that you've become

If I can't be the guy that you've always wanted me to be
If I can't say the words that you always wanted me to say
If I fall in the end, will you be holding on to me?
Because you, you said you'd never leave me

The choice is up to you
To find out what to do
To let it go or keep kicking me to the side
I'm getting tired of your shit
And I can't deal with it
I gave up giving in, and now it's time to say goodbye

If I can't be the guy that you've always wanted me to be
If I can't say the words that you always wanted me to say
If I fall in the end, will you be holding on to me?
Because you, you said you'd never leave me

With me, stay with me...

If I can't be the guy that you've always wanted me to be
If I can't say the words that you always wanted me to say
If I fall in the end, will you be holding on to me?
Because you, you said you'd never leave
You, you said you'd never leave

A subdued silence undisturbed by the sound of her breath.
So carefully, brush her hair back from her eyes
In steady sequence, one by one.
She slips away.

So close your eyes and sleep to dream.
I'm by your side.
No words to speak.
We'll set our course and make it through.
No matter how far I go my heart remains with you.

And I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
But it's clear to see the purpose of my exsistance Is laying here in front of
me.

So close your eyes and sleep to dream.
I'm by your side.
No words to speak.
We'll set our course and make it through.
No matter how far I go

And if all else fails you can look up at the sky
Because it's the same one that shines above you and I.
And if all else fails you can close your eyes
And I'll be right beside you.
I'll be the one by your side.

So close your eyes and sleep to dream.
I'm by your side.
No words to speak.
We'll set our course and make it through.
No matter how far I go
No matter how much this hurts
I wanted you to know,

49 hours and 46 minutes to go
But who's counting. I just thought
I'd let you know
I filled my head with your voice.
And now I'm drowning,
Well I wrote this song for you.

You can stay tonight,
And make everything alright.
You can hold me down,
And tell me that you're right.
Tell me what it's like to be alone.

And we have this down,
Unlike everybody.
I'll spend a million nights
Just like tonight you know,
I screamed your name at the sky,
Until I lost my voice.
Well I'd give my life for you.

You can stay tonight,
And make everything alright.
You can hold me down,
And tell me that you're right.
Tell me what it's like to be alone.

You can stay tonight...

You can stay tonight,
And make everything alright.
You can hold me down,
And tell me that you're right.

The hand of my clock strikes two
In times when I got the best of you
We made promises we couldn't keep
And every night we couldn't sleep.
I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions
Because it was the first time in my life, yeah the first time in my life
Where I, did something right.

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

You pick me apart
While I search for witty things to say (In my defense)
"You'll never amount to anything anyway"
(Don't press your luck, don't press your luck)
And think that I'm impressed with your one night stands
And your contagious kiss
I'm trying to get this right
Yeah, cause I'm ridiculous like that

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

I'll keep this as
A constant reminder
Of the nights I spent holding onto her
And rest assured I'm moving on
I miss you less, with each day you're gone (you're gone)

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
