I know you’re wide awake, you're wide awake at night when he's not there to keep the ghost of you and I away You chose not to stay this is the bed you've made, I'm not sorry that you now have to lye in it You can fool him but I know what’s real Did you think that this would be your way out? What did you think? What did you think? Did you think that this would be your way out? Your body lies but your heart still speaks the truth Its funny the difference a few months can make. I did everything in my power to keep you relevant and to keep you near. You were the one person I trusted never to put me in this place, to put me through all this again. When I heard about all the things you had done I was deflated. I was your way out. I was your way out. Not him, never him. I hope it was time well spent. It’s a beautiful place but not when you're dead inside. I was the best that you had or ever will and You can get comfy with him cause even still I Know that your heart is still here, not by the sea no You can fool him but you cant fool me No not even if you tried You can fool him but I know what’s real Did you think that this would be your way out? What did you think? What did you think? Did you think that this would be your way out? Your body lies but your heart still speaks the truth Lets take it back, lets take it back Lets take it back to the beginning, when you were still full of hope and had a life worth living, you gave it up and now you can’t even see, this is bigger than you or me So, Enjoy your wasteland, I hope it consumes you You can fool him but I know what’s real Did you think that this would be your way out? What did you think? What did you think? Did you think that this would be your way out? Your body lies but your heart still speaks the truth

Lonely Homes & Dial Tones 03:23
lyrics

I have come undone, disconnect myself from all that is real Tonight, hazel eyes burn through my brain yet another time If this is where we stand, I’m losing touch with everything I am I long to be the person, from the other version, of us in my head I am constantly swallowing lumps in my throat and asking why? There's something buried in me and it won’t let us die If this is where we stand I’m losing touch with everything I am I long to be the person from the other version of us in my head Lately it seems like everything’s washed away, and the tighter I grasp the more this line seems to fray Is it love that gives purpose? With out love are we just worthless? Because lately it seems like everything's washed away If this is where we stand I’m losing touch with everything I am Push you from me, push you from me, Struggle then free, struggle then free I cant hate you more than I already hate myself

Flicker 04:21

Flicker Please give me, one more chance, to try and figure this out I’m counting down, the hours between, the minute hand laughs at me now So when love, disappears, can you tell me where it goes? We hold our hearts, to the sky, while our bodies rot below Its just the price we pay, there's nothing left to say, we just keep slipping backwards If all of this was for the better, Then why can’t I seem to forget her? Without you this place feels so cold So what lie, do I tell, to myself to keep me well? When I’m reminded of, all the things that I once held Please understand that I’m, just trying to make love stay I watched the, light in your, eyes flicker and fade away Its just the price we pay, theres nothing left to say, we just keep slipping backwards If all of this was for the better, Then why can’t I seem to forget her? Without you this place feels so cold Trust me now, cause I’m your friend, when I say all good things end Good things end If all of this was for the better, Then why can’t I seem to forget her? Without you this place feels so cold It feels so cold, It feels so cold

Seasons change yeah people do to, I'm not sure that was the case with you We should have seen, little things, stupid things, things that divide us like You're the type of girl that only wears name brands, you hate all my shows and only listen to country bands (So Trendy) I'm not sure if there's a word for this but it's surely not love And you're not so perfect, and you're not so subtle anymore By mid fall, i came to find, you're not the person I made in my mind We are so far from the same, take for granted everything You're always pointing every fault out that you see in me, expecting romance like you're watching through a tv screen (Keep dreaming) I'm not sure if there's a word for this but it's surely not love And you're not so perfect, and you're not so subtle anymore Well, i never said so you never knew the best part of us was never You Better off alone And you're not so perfect, and you're not so subtle anymore

Now I once knew a man he was really just a boy and he Handed out his heart for it to only be destroyed the boy Promised himself he wouldn’t ever love again he didn’t Ever think he could for his wounds would never mend and that’s When he met a lover that wasn’t like the last And he swore not to make the same mistakes that he made in his past but Surely enough over time he gave in and the Lovers spent all of winter lying skin to skin His lover he found was adventurous and free and that’s When she found a new love, a city by the sea She packed up her things the opportunity was now but she Vowed they would stay together someway some how If we once shared hearts do we still share their pain? If we once shared hearts, why do moving parts remain? Things were never perfect but they thought love would live To hold her in his arms once more his life he would give He wore her feather necklace so close to his heart so that Even with the distance they would never be apart but The feather was worn out and it began to fray While their hearts and their heads began to stray away from the Things that they once held so close and so dear, Those feelings of love began to disappear they began Crawling in and out of lonely strangers beds, Stopped felling with their hearts and stopped thinking with their heads Sacrificing their love, the distance took its toll and the place where he thought her heart should be was really just a hole all the Promises that were made surely were not kept and a Piece of him died a piece he wouldn’t soon forget All the Promises that were made surely were not kept and a Piece of him died a piece he wouldn’t soon forget If we once shared hearts do we still share their pain? If we once shared hearts, why do moving parts remain? (Interlude) Why do they remain? Can they ever love the same? If we once shared hearts do we still share their pain? If we once shared hearts, why do moving parts remain? If we once shared hearts, why do moving parts remain? If we once shared hearts do we still share their pain?

You & I Without The You 04:04
lyrics

Pulling apart, in opposite directions, 2000 miles is what it took to kill the last connection, Your face has gone fuzzy, like static from a T.V., I tried to slow the process but its not easy believe me, There’s things that I’ve forgotten, little things that made me smile, They’re buried in me somewhere but now I can’t find the file, Even though time is slowly, wiping out the rest, There’s things that can’t be erased even If I tried my best, Time Passes although I resist, we cut wires to make sense of this…. I guess I wanted to be missed Can you recall the aching when we had to restart? Wearing each others necklaces to ease time apart No one told me the damage I could do to my own head Holding on to pieces of you long after we were dead Time Passes although I resist, we cut wires to make sense of this…. I guess I wanted to be missed Well I said I would be there, but its too late to hold on How did you ever think you’d fool the roads that lay between us? How did you trust the traps would hide before they came to greet us? I guess you're now the villain in this story I've laid out, While perfect lies and false tenses come crawling out my mouth, My feet are simply dragging even though you’ve come and gone, Episodes still on repeat to see where we both went wrong Though through cables and arteries my heart can beat on still It’s never loved the same and I don’t think it ever will Time Passes although I resist, we cut wires to make sense of this…. I guess I wanted to be missed I'm cutting ties, following through, Its you and I, without the you Well I said I would be there, but its too late to hold on Its you and I, without the you

Chances 03:21

Perfect trust does not exist, you think it does but when Temptation pulls, they won’t resist and they will break you down You cant deny the shock you feel, It makes you weak when betrayal wins, and cuts your heel yeah it cuts your heel I, I had one chance to prove you wrong Provide a place where we both belong Defeat my demons and make us strong I watched that chance Slip through my hands I’m not the same kid you knew or the boy that used to be But I could try to remember your heart if you’d let me I can’t say goodbye when you gave my life so much meaning Head on my shoulder and hand on my knee I’m still dreaming Wake me up I got this feeling I cant give up Just in my dreams is never enough Reopen scars until skin grows tough There’s got to be other ways to love There’s got to be something else I, I had one chance to make this last To make the hurt a thing of the past To give you more than any person has I watched that chance Slip through my hands I’m not the same kid you knew or the boy that used to be But I could try to remember your heart if you’d let me I can’t say goodbye when you gave my life so much meaning Head on my shoulder and hand on my knee I’m still dreaming I saw you in my dreams again The only time that we spend Is when it makes the least sense I’m lost, and lonely in my bed I’m not the same kid you knew or the boy that used to be But I could try to remember your heart if you’d let me I can’t say goodbye when you gave my life so much meaning Head on my shoulder and hand on my knee I’m still dreaming Wake Me Up

There & Back 03:23
lyrics

Stop, let it die, forget all the things you thought meant the world to you I’m here, in disguise, to let you know you’re not broke and you can still share the love in your eyes This isn't the way any person wants to spend their nights Re-living the past through old maps and photographs Just close your eyes and try your best to clear your head And ignore her ghost that sits alone at the edge of your bed Just take it from me that she never was once worth the wait Your hearts on your sleeve but you’ve never been good with rejection And I don’t wanna hear of how you’re lonely, or how you’ve satisfied your empty Just take it from me that she never was yours to keep Keep, your head up, you’ve got your whole life ahead and you've got time on your side The truth is that you would rather settle today than spend another night all alone Always the one missing never being missed You started something you couldn’t finish yet I took on all the risk I went there and back for you, and did all the things I was supposed to do So why am I the one with my head in my hands once again? Just take it from me that she never was once worth the wait Your hearts on your sleeve but you’ve never been good with rejection And I don’t wanna hear of how you’re lonely, or how you’ve satisfied your empty Just take it from me that she never was yours to keep THIS IS THE END No more will I waste time being sick to my stomach over you believe me this is the end. Just take it from me that she never was once worth the wait Your hearts on your sleeve but you’ve never been good with rejection And I don’t wanna hear of how you’re lonely, or how you’ve satisfied your empty Just take it from me that she never was yours to keep
