SO DIFFICULT
V1: It hit me like a ton of bricks and I feel your words weigh me down, you’ve got me tangled up in this web but I’ll fight right out of it..Misery loves company and I won’t stick or stay around to see what happens when the lonliness gets you so it won’t get to me..
PC: I’ll fight right out of it..oh I’m trying, I’m fighting now..i’ll fight right out of it, oh I’m trying, I’m fighting now..
C: You make it so difficult for me, to breathe..but I’ll stand my ground when you..make it so difficult ..to know where to go, what to do..but I know I’ll make it through..without you..
V2: Four walls are breaking down and I know that the clock is ticking fast but I’ll move knowing what you’ve done wrong and I’ll never look back
Pc&chorus repeat once
B: You say I won’t ever, I say, I will always let you go..oh, oh woah
You make it so difficult..To know where to go and what to do, but I know I’ll make it..
RUN, HEART, RUN
V1: Hear, me, out..i’ve got to tell you something..now my heart’s racing and I might just fall apart now..oh, so do you need me? Let’s put it out there clearly, so I know that we’re not wasting time, not wasting time now..
C: Run, heart, run..how long can this go on? Give in or just give up? Let go or hold on? Run, heart, run..from the love..that got me, caught me, used me, tried me, got close and ran away..
V2: There’s, a, point of no return here baby, so..call it crazy, oh I know that’s been made clear, so you want to give in? if you could only listen and hear my thoughts, I’ve had enough now..
Chorus repeats once
B: I don’t want to let you go..but I can almost hear the sound of this falling down..and you say only time can tell so well..should I keep holding on or let it run away from me..
Chorus repeats
There’s a point, of no return here baby..
WALTZ
V1: I will try to make a point to understand, I will listen but I’m not changing who (I am..)don’t try to change the way this story goes, you can only change so much til (everybody knows..)
PC: So the broken record plays, the same old song again..
C: So we waltz around it, over again, lost in a circle, (lies become patterns,) when will this end? And we waltz around it, over again, lost more in each step (and who knows what’s next?) So count me in.. (as we waltz again..)
V2: I won’t waste time, trying to pick sides, I would like to hear a reason for all your questions, (why?) Don’t try to change the way this story goes, you can only change so much til (everybody knows)
PC2: So we dance around in vain, not knowing where we stand..
chorus repeats once
B: Beautiful, this melody…woah..
Chorus repeats twice
LIE THE TRUTH
V1: I wish that I could hear you say to me, what you really mean, in the beginning, it all made sense but I see those times are fading..
PC: Hear the sound..the silence is ringing through..say it now..if it’s the truth..
C: Pretend that it’s alright, so we can say goodnight..there’s no excuse, for everything you say and everything you do..you lie the truth, so lie the truthx3 or 4
V2: Rest assured that, you won’t feel a thing, wish that I could say that too, so we know that this could be the end of this, soon..
Prechorus and chorus repeat once
B: So hold it all back, all the words in your head, I know what lies ahead..truth, you’ll never tell..lies fit you so well so lie the truth..
Chorus repeats once
WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU’RE GONE?
V1: Do you intentionally leave then arrive all the time? Just please tell me you mean all that you say to me baby..
PC: I don’t want to get worked up over nothing now, but just fill me in and let me know somehow..
C: Tell me what it means when you’re m.i.a. then around forever, tell me what you think when I turn it around on you? Does it matter? I just want to know..where do you go when you’re gone? Go when you’re gone? You’re gone..
V2: Do you intentionally leave me (here) hanging on? Because, thing is with you, I will always string along..
Prechorus and chorus repeat once
B: There’s a time, there’s a place, but I’m still feeling the pain, when you leave, without me am I the one that you still see? (All the time let’s rewind don’t give me the time to cry so tell me where you go..where you go, go..)
Chorus repeats twice
STUCK
V1: Baby, do you remember everything I said when you told me you weren’t ever gonna come back? How do I accept that just like that? Months go by, I still cry and I don’t know why, cause you’ve moved on to a different place, a different time when I’m still stuck in the past tell me why’s that?
PC: Everything we had is now just a blur, a mess..Wish I could make it clear..
C: Cause’ I’m stuck, everything you said, I guess you really never meant, I’m stuck, living in the past, but look at you with no regrets, I’m stuck, alone, and living…I’m living without you
V2: Made no sense and I’m still trying to figure out why you picked up and left me without a doubt and I’m still stuck here wondering why’s that?
PC and C repeat once
B: I don’t want to feel us break, this is more than I can take, I don’t want to be alone, without you…
C repeats once
C2: I’m stuck going crazy here, cause you’ve already disappeared, I’m stuck, here with all this time, wishing we could just rewind, I’m stuck, alone and living…Living without you
O: I’m stuck, I’m…Living without you x3 I’m stuck…Stuck, everything you said, I guess you really never meant, I’m stuck, living in the past, but look at you with no regrets, I’m stuck, alone and living..living without you…
TELL ME
V1: Don’t believe me when I say I’m over you, I’ve gone this far to stretch the truth, but baby it’s over, no more tears on your shoulder, To face the truth is something you don’t have to do, say good-bye, I’ve made this easy on you..We need to let go there’s nothing more to know now
C: Tell me that when you walked away you felt the same way, tell me you always did this just had to end now, tell me, that when I watched you leave you turned to see me, tell me you know it’s over..
V2: Hear me out, I’ll admit I do miss you..It’s a fact, not gonna’ lie to you, I know that’s over but it’s still the truth oh, one hello is to not let go of you, one good-bye is for you to do the same too, we have to let go there’s nothing more to know now..
C repeats twice
Tell me, it’s over…
LIGHTNING STRIKES
V1: I close my eyes cause’ I feel electricity in the air, my feet feel lifted cause the wind’s picking up and I can’t stand still..
PC: So give me one bit of reasoning for me to come back down, give me one bit of reasoning I shouldn’t leave right now…
C: The lightning strikes and the thunder crashes down on us, emotions just flood right in with the rain cause oh,oh, oh, oh yeah we’re so in love x4
V2: I try to move, try to think, try to breathe but it’s closing in, storm of the century, I do feel your love and I just can’t wait…
PC and C repeat once
B: Oh, the lightning strikes, I close my eyes, I feel you, you’re all I see, I need you, world’s falling down and a storm’s rushing in…
PC and C repeat once
EXIT
V1: Something’s telling me that this isn’t the first time..I’ve heard that line before, I’ve got circles I’m walking around and all I need is the exit door..
PC: I should have known better than this, I should have known better than you
C: I just need an escape from all of this and everything in between is tying me up in knots and I can’t get out of it, out of it, out of it, out of it now I need an exit, a way out, show me..
V2: Don’t tell me you’ll give me the world and then more, is that what I’m looking for? Over rated promises need to be swept out the back door..
PC and C repeats once
B: Show me, that you’ve finally turned this around now, show me, the face behind the mask is unveiled now, show me, show me, I’d rather take the higher road now..So let me show you the exit door now..
C repeats once
I just need an escape x3 Show me…
ALL FALL DOWN
V1: Oh, every time I let you go, Oh, a part of me loses my cool, Yeah, every time I see your face, I need you and I know you feel the same way
PC: And I’m stuck here waiting for you..Not cool…
C: And we’re gonna all, all fall, all fall down x2 Do you miss me, do you miss me?
V2: Oh, let’s figure out a strategy, oh, to make us a guarantee, Yeah, every time you have to leave, Oh, it just drives me crazy baby
PC and C repeats once
B and instrumental: And we’re gonna all, all fall down..
C repeats once
Do you miss me now? And we’re gonna all fall down, oh, to the ground…
6 MONTHS (AND 1 YEAR LATER)
V1: It looks like…We should stop pretending now, that we are perfect as opposites but tell me how…Can we go on if the compliments rand out? If we went on, disaster would fall down on us, no doubt…
C: 6 months would have broke us down, 6 months wouldn’t turn around, 6 months would have seen the tears in my eyes, made it harder to say good-bye, 6 months was too long for your “here and now”
V2: I thought we’d be just fine living some pretty lie, with painted smiles on but no same feelings inside, I guess time decides whether it’s a yes or if it’s a no, when it’s so fragile with to start, where do we go?
C repeats once
B: And if you ever stop to think of me, remember how cold it was in January, I’ll backtrack the summer then we’ll feel the need to stop…
O: Stop pretending how we could be perfect as opposites but you can tell me now…woahx4
