They won't want you for who you are
So you should step outside your skin
Something tells me
That we were meant to be
But how can that be
You run on evil
I run on fumes
And stale air
When she came out
She brought her anger
She left her sympathy
Behind the walls she built for me
So we start spinning
You wouldn't want to let us go easy
Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning
You wouldn't want to let him down easy
Or he just might become the promise
I want you for who you are
So you can stay inside your skin
Something tells me love isn't enough
But how can that be
You're not so evil
I'm not so good, crazy or mean
So we start spinning
You wouldn't want to let us go easy
Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning
You wouldn't want to let him down easy
Or he just might be come the threat
She's so dramatic
Shes says I'm leaving
Is that a promise or a threat
So we start spinning
You wouldn't want to let us go easy
Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning
You wouldn't want to let him down easy
Or he just might become, the one you want
I am the voice you'll never get
I am the one
I am the promise and the threat

"Hello, I'm your mind,
Giving you someone to talk to.
Hello.

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken.
Hello.
I'm the lie
Living for you
So you can hide.
Don't cry." -"Hello" by Evanescence.

"I love you."
Maybe some day those three words will actually MEAN SOMETHING.
Because every boy and girl who has said that to me
Has HURT ME
Or LEFT MY LIFE.
And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all
And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame then I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
and you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

If the elephants have past lives yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper
And I am dreaming of them on the plains
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card when I'm doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night
And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart
And how dare that you say you'll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind
And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed
So for those of you falling in love keep it kind
Keep it good
Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night
Please, sir, have you seen my innocence?
It was hanging up there on the door.
And sure, it was looking quite tattered, but I
Had things I was keeping it for.
"I love you."
Maybe some day those three words will actually MEAN SOMETHING.
Because every boy and girl who has said that to me
Has HURT ME
Or LEFT MY LIFE.
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start
You put your arms around me And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go You put your arms around me and I'm home
How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown
I hope that you see right through my walls I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling I'll never let a love get so close You put your arms around me and I'm home
The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth And I've never opened up I've never truly loved 'Till you put your arms around me And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling I'll never let a love get so close You put your arms around me and I'm home
Oh she can wait,
For what I can give,
She knows what I am but,
She wont believe me,
Is it all ok?
Will I come off the lightest?
I cant believe it,
Its always like this,
Kept it at bay
Yes, you kept your words
There on your mouth
But its not what I heard
If I follow the light
That I deem the brightest
I wont believe that
Its always like this
Im not whole
Im not whole
You waste it all
Im not whole
Im not whole
You waste it all
Im not whole
Oh you can wait
For what I can give
You know what I am
So you know how I live
Try to look proud
But youre not in the slightest
Its happening now
And its always been like this

I'd rather be dreaming than living
Living's just too hard to do
It's chances not choices
Noises not voices
A day's just a thing to get through
Living's just too hard to do
I'd rather be dreaming than talking
There's nothing to hear or to say
With ears covered mouth closed
The world is opposed
Nothing gets in or away
There's nothing to hear or to say
I'd rather be dreaming than thinking
Thoughts are small comfort to me
Dreams might be pretend
But at least dreams end
And I just can't stop thinking you see
Thoughts are small comfort to me
I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
In dreams I can fly
In dreams I don't die
That's why I lie here in this bed
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
I think about how it might have been
We'd spend our days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
And we hang our heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
Open up wide, swallow down deep, no spoon full of sugar could make it sweet.
The cancer inside, stealing my sleep, night after night, it keeps haunting me.
The secrets I keep are tearing me up inside; I try to hide them and I wonder why,
I wonder why I'm still running
when I know there's no escaping.
Come undone, surrender is stronger, I don't need to be the hero tonight. We all want love, we all want honour - nobody wants to pay the asking price.
Fall on my knees, fall on my pride, I'm tripping over all the times I've lied.
I'm asking please, but I can see in your eyes
you don't need tears for alibis.
It's true what they say; love must be blind - that's why you're still standing by the sinner's side. You're still by my side when all the things I've done have left you bleeding.
Come undone, surrender is stronger, I don't need to be the hero tonight. We all want love, we all want honour - nobody wants to pay the asking price.
I don't think I can drive it home tonight.
I don't think I wanna be alone tonight.
oh non-believer, please believe me.
is there honestly nothing in this world
that keeps you living & breathing?
you're a ghost in your own
goddamn city.
If I could have one wish,
If I could have some say,
I'd keep you far from home.
I'd roll back both my sleeves,
Dig under your skin,
And fix your shattered bones.
Hold on, this may hurt you
When I tell you of the truth:
We don't get two lives to live.
It's true, the only fault I found in you
Is not being free to take what I would give.
If I could bend your pain
Into something good,
Make you a prouder man.
If I could rough you up
And save you with good luck
I'd show you hope again.
Hold on, we're not meant to suffer so very long
Even love that's gone has never been the same
Hang tight, the only fault you have tonight
Shutting down so cold 'til I break in.
Oh, sad young man, I think I need you
For reasons I don't know.
I pledge myself to winter season
So it's perfectly on course,
But in the end it has to snow.
If I can make you stay
Convince you you'd be lost
if we were torn apart,
If it remained unclear
Between the two of us
Which one would be the one
To break the other's heart.
Hold on, this will floor me.
Differently than any drug that's washed me into sleep.
It's true, the only fault I'll take from you
Is how to run from what you wish to keep.
Do you feel like you've lost everything you can lose? This is it, can you hear me?
When you cry do your tears ever chill up the room?
Calling out in a moment of need.
Do you ever lay awake with the look in the eye,
asking God if a wish is too big to deny?
oh non-believer, please believe me.
is there honestly nothing in this world
that keeps you living & breathing?
you're a ghost in your own
goddamn city.
