When I’m Gone
We're doing it
I look around me,
But all I seem to see,
Is people going no where,
Expecting sympathy
It's like we're going through the motions,
Of a scripted destiny
Tell me where's our inspiration,
If life wont wait,
I guess it's up to me
[Chorus]
Woah!
No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Woah!
And we won't come back your world is calling out
Woah!
We'll leave the past in the past,
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company well,
So long, you'll miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Procrastination, running circles in my head
While you sit there contemplating,
You wound up left for dead (left for dead)
Life is what happens while you're busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
And that won't happen to me
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Let's go!
Won't look back,
When I say goodbye
I'm gonna leave this a hole behind me,
Gonna take what's mine tonight
Because every wasted day becomes a wasted chance
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry,
Because life won't wait,
I guess it's up to you
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Take My Hand
Hey Hey
Hey Hey
Sometimes I feel like everybody's got a problem
Sometimes I feel like nobody wants to solve them
I know that people say we're never going to make it
But I know we're going to get through this
(Close your eyes and please don't let me go)
Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't let me go now
(Close your eyes don't let me let you go)
Don't, Don't, Don't
[Chorus]
Take my hand tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow
Take my hand tonight
We could find some place to go
Cause our hearts are locked forever
And our love will never die
Take my hand tonight
One last time
The city sleeps and we're lost in the moment
Another kiss says we're lying on the pavement
If they could see us they would tell us that we're crazy
But I know they just don't understand
(Close your eyes and please don't let me go)
Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't let me go now
(Close your eyes don't let me let you go)
Don't, Don't, Don't
[Chorus]
Take my hand tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow
Take my hand tonight
We could find some place to go
Cause our hearts are locked forever
And our love will never die
Take my hand tonight
One last time
Hey Hey
Hey Hey
The raindrops
The tears keep falling
I see your face and it keeps me going
If I get lost your light's going to guide me
And I know that you can take me home
You can take me home
[Chorus]
Take my hand tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow
Take my hand tonight
We could find some place to go
Cause our hearts are locked forever
And our love will never die
Take my hand tonight
One last time
[Chorus]
Take my hand tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow
Take my hand tonight
We could find some place to go
Cause our hearts are locked forever
And our love will never die (Love will never die)
Take my hand tonight
One last time
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The End
I've been trying to tell you something
But you never understand
I feel like we've been going 'round in circles
You look at me like I've become
A stranger on the streets,
A skeleton that's been hiding in your closet
I see you next to me but still you feel so far away
Where did we go wrong?
(Where did we go wrong?)
I guess this is the part where you look at me
And say goodbye
Don't, don't let me go
It's not the end, whoa
Girl you know it's not so bad
It's not the end, whoa
No it's not the end
I've been around the world
And I've seen so many things
I can't even tell you where I'm going
But no matter where I'm heading
And no matter what I do
Something keeps me coming back to you
I see you next to me but still you feel so far away
Where did we go wrong?
(Where did we go wrong?)
I guess this is the part where you look at me
And say goodbye
Don't, don't let me go
It's not the end, whoa
Girl you know it's not so bad
It's not the end, whoa
You know it's not the end
Don't, don't let me go
It's not the end, whoa
Girl you know it's not so bad
It's not the end, whoa
You know it's not the end
What can I do when you're gone
When it feels so wrong
What can I say
To make you wanna stay
So what can I do
Don't leave me this way
Cause it feels so wrong
Let's stop all these games
Cause I just can't say goodbye
Don't, don't let me go
It's not the end, whoa
Girl you know it's not so bad
It's not the end, whoa
You know it's not the end
Don't, don't let me go
It's not the end, whoa
Girl you know it's not so bad
It's not the end, whoa
You know it's not the end

Your Love Is A Lie
I fall asleep by the telephone
It's 2 O'clock and I'm waiting up alone
Tell me where have you been?
I found a note with another name
You blow a kiss, but it just don't feel the same
Cause I can feel that you're gone
I can't bite my tongue forever
While you try to play it cool
You can hide behind your stories
But don't take me for a fool
You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know
Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It's nothing but a lie
(Lie)
You look so innocent
But the guilt in your voice gives you away
Yeah you know what I mean
How does it feel when you kiss when you know that i trust you
And do you think about me when he fucks you?
Could you be more obscene?
So don't try to say you're sorry
Or try to make it right
Don't waste your breath because it's too late, it's too late.
You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know,
Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
It's nothing but a lie
(Lie)
You're nothing but a lie
You can tell me that there's nobody else
(But I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself
(But I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know
Your love is just a lie
(Lie)
I know you're nothing but a lie
(Lie)
Lie
(Lie)
Lie
You're nothing but a lie
Lie
Your love is just a lie
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save You
Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step till I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
When I hear your voice
Its drowning in a whisper
It's just skin and bones
There's nothing left to take
And no matter what I do I can't make you feel better
If only I could find the answer
To help me understand
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
That if you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up cause I'll be waiting if you fall
Oh you know I'll be there for you
(Ahahaha)
If only I could find the answer
To take it all away
Sometimes i wish i could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
(Oh)
I wish I could save you
I want you to know
(Ohohh)
I wish I could save you (oh)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generation
(Listen)
(Ohh, ohh)
(Ohh, ohh)
I'm sick of all this waiting
And people telling me what I should be
What if I'm not so crazy
Maybe you're the one that's wrong, not me
So what you gonna do, what you gonna say
When we're standing on top and do it our way
You say we got no future
You're living in the past
So listen up, that's my generation
[CHORUS]
(hey ho, let's go!)
It's going down tonight
(hey ho, let's go!)
We're gonna do it til we die
(hey ho, let's go!)
'Cause I, I, I got no reason to apologize
That's my generation
(ohh, ohh)
(ohh, ohh)
I don't need to say I'm sorry
I do what everybody wants to do
It's not so complicated
'Cause I know you want the same thing, too
So what you gonna do, what you gonna say
When we're standing on top and do it our way
You say we got no future
You're living in the past
So listen up, that's my generation
[CHORUS]
(Listen)
Don't need to say I'm sorry
(ohh, ohh)
It's not so complicated
'Cause I know you want the same thing, too
[CHORUS (x2)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time To Say Goodbye
I just don't want to waste another day
I'm trying to make things right
But you shove it in my face
And all those things you've done to me I can't erase
And I can't keep this inside
It's time to say goodbye
On the first day that I met you
I should have known to walk away
I should have told you you were crazy
And disappear without a trace
But instead I stood there waiting
Hoping you would come around
But you always found a way to let me down
[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye
(I just don't want to waste another day)
It's time to say goodbye
(Cause things will never be the same)
It's time to say goodbye
(You make me think I need to walk away)
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
After all the things I've done for you
You never tried to do the same
It's like you always play the victim
And I'm the one you always blame
When you need someone to save you
When you think you're going to drown
(Think you're going to drown)
You just grab your arms around me and pull me down
[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye
(I just don't want to waste another day)
It's time to say goodbye
(Cause things will never be the same)
It's time to say goodbye
(You make me think I need to walk away)
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Now I'm gone
It's too late
You can't fix
Your mistakes
I was trying to save you from you
So you scream
So you cry
I can see
Through your lies
You're just trying to change me
(Trying to change me)
Somewhere in the distance
There's a place for me to go
I don't want you to hate me
But I think you need to know
You're weighing on my shoulders
And I'm sick of feeling down
So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Can Wait Forever
You look so beautiful today
When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away
So i try to find the words that i could say
I know distance doesn't matter but you feel so far away
And I can't lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I wanna come back home to see your face tonight
Cause I just can't take it
Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever
You look so beautiful today
It's like every time I turn around I see your face
The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you
When I look into your eyes
Man, I wish that I could stay and I can't lie
Every time I leave my heart turns gray
And I wanna come back home to see your face tonight
And I
Cause I just can't take it
Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait
I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I know it feels like forever
I guess that's just the price I gotta pay
But when I come back home to feel your touch
Makes it better
Until that day
There's nothing else that I can do
And I just can't take it
I just can't take it
Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But i can wait
I can wait forever (I can wait forever)
When you call my heart stops beating
When you're gone it won't stop bleeding
But I can wait
I can wait forever
I can wait forever
I can wait forever...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOLDING ON
Once again I’m falling to my knees
(I try to escape cause I just can’t take it)
Now this feeling is spreading like a disease
(I fake another day and the wheel keeps turning)
This place is so pathetic
Doesn’t anybody get it
Is there anybody home? (Is there anybody home?)
There’s nothing left
We’re just a shadow of what we used to be
In the night there’s a fire in my eyes
And this paradise has become a place we’ve come to cry
When I open your letter, the words make it better
It takes it all away
Whoaoh! It keeps me holding on 2x
Here we are, pretending we’re ok
(You can say what you want but you still can’t fool me)
The life we’re living, it’s all a masquerade
(I try to smile but I can’t remember how)
So how did we get so jaded
Is it so complicated
To not give up on me?
In the night there’s a fire in my eyes (there’s a fire in my eyes)
And this paradise has become a place we’ve come to cry
When I open your letter, the words make it better
It takes it all away
Whoaoh! It keeps me holding on
When I need you
Wherever I run to
I know where to find you
It keeps me holding on
Whenever I need you wherever I run to
I know where to find you
WHoaoh!You keep me holding on 2x
In the night there’s a fire in my eyes (there’s a fire in my eyes)
And this paradise has become a place we’ve come to cry (has become a place we’ve)
When I open your letter, the words make it better
It takes it all away (it takes it all away)
It keeps me holding on
When I need you
Wherever I run to
I know where to find you
Whoaoh! It keeps me holding on 2x
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO LOVE
Staring out into the world across the street
You hate the way your life turned out to be
He’s pulling up in the driveway and you don’t make a sound
Cause you always learned to hold the things you want to say
You’re always gonna be afraid
There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?
There’s only lies
There’s only fears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
Broken down like a mirror smashed to pieces
You learned the hard way to shut your mouth and smile
And if these walls could talk, they would have so much to say
Cause every time you fight the scars are gonna heal
But they’re never gonna go away
There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?
There’s only lies
There’s only fears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?
You’re falling
You’re screaming
You’re stuck in the same old nightmare
He’s lying
You’re crying
There’s nothing left to salvage
Kick the door cause this is over
Get me out of here
Kick the door
There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?
There’s only lies
There’s only fears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
Tell me what will you do
There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IF
What if I lead the way?
What if I make mistakes?
(will you be there..?)
What if I change the world?
What if I take the blame?
(will you be there..?)
I remember going back
To the place we used to lay
But I keep losing track
And now the days they all turn black
And our dreams all start to fade
But there's no turning back
'Cause the world keeps turning
(why do you tell me you care if you're not gonna stay?)
My heart's still burning
(why do you tell me you care?)
What if I change the world..
If I lead the way?
What if I be the one..
That takes the blame?
What if I can't go on without you?
What if I graduate?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?
Now I'm slowly giving up
As the world keeps losing faith
And you still turn your back
Now the path I follow takes a toll on me...
On you,
But there's no turning back...
'Cause the world keeps turning
(why do you tell me you care if you're not gonna stay?)
My heart's still burning
(why do you tell me you care?)
What if I change the world?
If I lead the way?
What if I be the one
That takes the blame?
What if I can't go on without you?
What if I graduate?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?
What if I don't?
(What if I don't?)
(What if I don't?)
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
(repeat)
I'll be waiting here (waiting)
I'll be waiting here (waiting)
I'll be waiting here (waiting)
For you to call me
Oh
What if I lead the way?
What if I graduate?
What if I change the world?
Would you still remember me?
What if I lead the way?
What if I graduate?
What if I change the world..
And I found the words to tell you what you mean to me..?
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
For you to call me
(repeat)
