According To Myself

I know you're following me home,
but please don't come in.
It's been like this for way too long,
you'v been leading me on.
Leave me alone now,
let me be.
Give me something to work with
instead of strangling me
I don't understand how i can't get it into my head,
that life goes on with or without you.
I don't seem to care how i feel
inside my soul.
My self-esteem has hit an all time low
Lately i have been thinking
of who you want me to be.
I'm struggling to see myself
through your eyes
All of my mistakes,
all my faults.
I can't see anything at all
I don't understand how i can't get it into my head,
that life goes on with or without you.
I don't seem to care how i feel
inside my soul.
My self-esteem has hit an all time low
I know i make stupid mistakes,
I can't see right through you.
I need to know what you want from me.
Will you let go of all the big mistakes iv made,
but if not i am happy leaving you
I don't understand how i can't get it into my head,
that life goes on with or without you.
I don't seem to care how i feel
inside my soul.
My self-esteem has hit an all time low

We Are Friends

Do you remember when we were kids
and we went to the park
down the road from your house
you fell off the swing that day
I'll never forget the look you had on your face
I wanted to be your knight in shining armour
as I carried you home
Why does it feel like you dont
Know me at all?
We are friends tonight
We are fighting for each other
No longer for ourselves
Come lets make this right
lets fix these holes that we made
in this friendship
(in this friendship)
My parents made me move away
Not seeing you everyday
took ages to get used to
and the letters didn't cut it
after a while
Now I'm back and everything's changed
Even our friendship can't be the same
We promised each other it wouldn't
come to this
Sometimes it feels like I don't know you at all
We are friends tonight
We are fighting for each other
No longer for ourselves
Come lets make this right
lets fix these holes that we made
in this friendship
(in this friendship)
It's always been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
(It's always been you and me)
It's always been you
We are friends tonight
We are fighting for each other
No longer for ourselves
Come lets make this right
lets fix these holes that we made
in this friendship
(in this friendship)

She's always doubting who she see's in the mirror,
always doubting.
Her polarised view of herself verse my love.
Who will win?
It's sometimes hard to tell.
I'd give anything to stay here and sing you to sleep,
but others know what's best for us,
so il ride home thinking of that smile hoping.
Knowing my love in words is making things worse,
it kills me inside.
I dunno how to change the way you feel.
So i'l hold you so tight
She's always doubting who she see's in the mirror,
always doubting.
Her polarised view of herself verse my love.
Who will win?
My understanding of you is never constant,
but my confusion pays off in the end.
I find it hard not to think about the reasons
I taste salt on your lips.
All my reasoning tells me its all my fault
so please prove me wrong,
I don't know how.
She's always doubting who she see's in the mirror,
always doubting.
Her polarised view of herself verse my love.
Who will win?
I have to go home, i know it's so hard.
All i want is to see you smile.
It all makes sense when i hear those three words
and see that raging battle in thos eyes
i know who will win.
You will win
It's sometimes hard to tell
But you will win

The Seeker

Subtle hints, rejection hits.
I can't believe this feeling
why did you sweep me off my feet
why did you let me fall.
Contemporary feelings
stop now that you are leaving
since when was I not enough for you
is this a blessing disguised,
what I want can't always be what i need
to get me through in this life
So lets disect these feelings
and play our own little game
of hide and seek.
I'l play the seeker (desperate and alone)
searching for the key to your heart once again
It's hard seeing you to only say goodbye,
cos I know you won't miss me.
but I'l tell myself a lie.
Just give me one more chance
and I can show you that you make mistakes too
and I can't pretend not to care
So lets disect these feelings
and play our own little game
of hide and seek.
I'l play the seeker (desperate and alone)
searching for the key to your heart once again
and I found it

We wondered out in the dark
with flash lights that dont even work
We hoped that the moon
would lead our way as
we ran away from here
I trusted that maybe in time
a year or two you will be mine
We would hold hands under setting skies
Places we go in our heads
reflecting the things that we said
Places I'v been in the past have led me to you
As if we were crazy enough
We were just kids
but we knew that things might be better slow (slow)
I Hardly Slept last night
and when I did I dreamt of you
All obstacles fell away
we could be hand in hand
I thought I was stubbourn enough
but man wishful thinking lets down
I cant decide between dreams and reality
Places we go in our heads
reflecting the things that we said
Places I'v been in the past have led me to you
As if we were crazy enough
We were just kids
but we knew that things might be better slow (slow)
Im walking in circles to find
the girl of my dreams and praying that she
walks 'round my corner
so i can give her the letters i never let go of
I'm walking around with letters in my pocket
not going home 'til I find you
I'm walking around with letters in my pocket
not going home 'til I find you
Im walking in circles to find
the girl of my dreams and praying that she
walks 'round my corner
so i can give her the letters I never let go of

I cant believe that there's willow trees
and grass on what used to be barren land
I cant believe that there's willow trees
and grass on what used to be barren land
Time has healed what our ancestors and history took away
Its a brand new day
Roads and walls tell their stories to the world
It never used to be like this
change is never the same
Some things change for the better
when they change for the better
We Learn from our mistakes
I've never seen anything like this
when I left this place
it was burning to the ground
yesterday's gone and tomorrow's way too late
so we'll live for today everyday
Roads and walls tell their stories to the world
It never used to be like this
change is never the same
Some things change for the better
when they change for the better
We Learn from our mistakes
It never used to be like this
change is never the same
Some things change for the better
when they change for the better
We Learn from our mistakes

Breaking Free

I never expected this to happen,
but it happens everyday.
It's like something inside me is broken,
and I'm dying to get away
And so I fall to my knees
and I pray.
I wanna break free from all these things that
are holding onto,
holding onto me.
I never knew this would happen
but it happens anyway.
These things they creep up on you
they creep up on you and haunt you
they haunt you
And so I fall to my knees
and i pray.
I wanna break free from all these things that
are holding onto,
holding onto me.
I can feel it breaking
(feel it breaking)
now i can feel it breaking away
(breaking away)
And so I fall to my knees
and I pray.
I wanna break free from all these things that
are holding onto,
holding onto me.

Spaceboy don't know what he wants anymore
Spacegirl can't take it now she's on the floor
dying out shes crying out for answers
Friends are hard to keep when you're
high and mighty sitting in your comfort zone
shes waiting ear to the cold ground
lying where his feet once walked
he doesn't know it
she is reaching out space boy's done it again
shes waiting for the sound of her rescue
show us a hero
spaceboy dont know what he wants anymore.
spacegirl cant take it now shes on the floor
In those hazy eyes there are fragile dreams
and broken down friendships.
his selfish heart has no remorse
there's no feeling left.
she would die for him
his life means more to her than he's ever dreamed.
but he's blind to it.
too sorry for himself he's no hero
spaceboy dont know what he wants anymore.
spacegirl cant take it now shes on the floor
dying out shes crying out for answers
dying out shes crying out for answers
spaceboy dont know what he wants anymore.
spacegirl cant take it now shes on the floor
dying out shes crying out for answers

It's the middle of the night
and im fighting for your life.
I dunno what to say
to keep you alive.
It's never been this dark before
I wish the clouds would separate.
The light I'v been looking for
might be the reason I have nothing
If the stars come out tonight
would it mean that luck is on my side
would it mean that everythings alright
and as these things around me fall,
they all just crash and burn.
I'l make sure you make it through the night.
So you are stranded and there's no way out
by now
energy is slowing down
your night in shining armour can't help tonight.
I can't help you out tonight
If the stars come out tonight
would it mean that luck is on my side
would it mean that everythings alright
and as these things around me fall,
they all just crash and burn.
I'l make sure you make it through the night.
Your signals are loud and clear but
im stuck by things i hold too dear.
Can't you tell me im wasting my time
why can't I be there
I need a new light
If the stars come out tonight
If the stars come out tonight
would it mean that luck is on my side
would it mean that everythings alright
and as these things around me fall,
they all just crash and burn.
I'l make sure you make it through the night.

Excuse me sir but did i hear you right?
If you dare repeat, im putting up a fight.
Excuse me sir but what did you say?
You say I won't reach my dream?
"You'l never get it right"
I won't be the average hollow soul
brainwashed to get a good job, get a good pay.
I will show you how empty your life is,
I will show you, I will prove you wrong
Teach all you want, I'm only spurred to become
everything you think i can't be.
I love the thought of knowing
I'l be ten times what you want to be.
You know I'm living your dream
I won't be the average hollow soul
brainwashed to get a good job, get a good pay.
I will show you how empty your life is,
I will show you, I will prove you wrong
Take your best shot at me now
I know who I want to become.
I will show you how empty your life is,
I will show you, I will prove you wrong

We're All So Sick

I cant say I'm happy to see you
Not gonna pretend that I am
We can't wait for you to leave
Your presence here is not welcome
(You'll have your work cut out for you)
(You'll have your work cut out for you)
You'll have your work cut out for you
Making a new mask for every person you meet
We're all so sick of your constant lies
You've let us down too many times
You make me sick inside
Why do you do this to yourself
You could be better than this
You could make something of your life
take a look at the bigger picture
(take a look at the bigger picture)
you'll find that no one wants to listen
to your self centered stories
(They're getting rather boring)
They're getting rather boring
(They're getting rather boring)
you're so alone in a way that cant be helped
by anyone besides yourself
We're all so sick of your constant lies
You've let us down too many times
You make me sick inside
Why do you do this to yourself
You could be better than this
You could make something of your life
All those thing you say and do
what do they really mean to you?
All those thing you say and do
what do they really mean to you?
(What they mean to you)
We're all so sick of your constant lies
You've let us down too many times
We're all so sick of your constant lies
You've let us down too many times
You make me sick inside
Why do you do this to yourself
You could be better than this
You could make something of your life

You Can Be Someone

She's sitting in the corner of the room
with nothing to say or to do
Shes thinking out loud
but no one is listening to her
No one ever listens
She has so many friends
yet she is so alone
She cant think for herself
losing the only thing thats hers
She's losing herself
Her life flashes before her eyes
She's six feet from everyone
The sand is falling in an hourglass
Shes falling
His heart breaks for her
(his heart breaks for her)
for the first time in his life
He wants to be nobody
so he can be her somebody
and he sings
You can be someone in my eyes
You can be someone
Lets do this together,
side by side
Lets take on the world tonight
You can be someone in my eyes
You can be someone
Lets do this together,
side by side
Lets take on the world tonight
She's sitting in the corner of the room
with nothing to say or to do
Shes thinking out loud
but someone is listening to her
he is listening
