I will dedicate 
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth 
Of how my story's ending 
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take 
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing 
Show me what it's for 
Make me understand it 
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer 
Is there something more than what i've been handed? 
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer 
Help me carry on 
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes 
To navigate the darkness 
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly? 
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story? 
Show me what it's for 
Make me understand it 
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer 
Is there something more than what i've been handed? 
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer 
So when and how will I know? 
How much further do I have to go? 
How much longer until I finally know? 
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me 
In front of me 
Show me what it's for 
Make me understand it 
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer 
Is there something more than what i've been handed? 
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer 

Just when I thought that I was better 
I realized that I don't know what better was 
Is it......... 
Better than I used to be? 
Better for you or for me? 
I'd better hurry cause I need a better view of things 
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with 
Don't know where I've been 
Don't know where to go 
Can't remember all the things that I need to know 
All I know is that if I think about it 
I'd still rather be me than me be you 
And I'm not getting any better 
Cause everytime I can't remember what it's for 
Is it......... 
Better now than yesterday? 
Better that I am this way? 
I'd better not be so afraid 
I bet I shouldn't say 
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with 
Don't know where I've been 
Don't know where to go 
Can't remember all the things that I need to know 
All I know is that if I think about it 
I'd still rather be me than me be you 
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with 
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with 
Don't know where I've been 
Don't know where to go 
Can't remember all the things that I need to know 
All I know is that if I think about it 
I'd still rather be me than me be you 
Me be you 

We've shared our lives and all of what we know 
But now it seems you don't know me from 
The guy next door, or the next or the next 
Give it back 
You need to give it back 
The loyalty is something that you lack 
I let you in and showed you all of me 
But you took it all then trashed the place 
And I'm so sick of cleaning it up 
Give it back 
You need to give it back 
The loyalty is something that you lack 
Give it back 
My time and devotion 
Give it back 
The love that I gave 
No more making it up to you 
I don't think that you're ever going to do it 
No more making it up to you 
I don't think that you're ever going to do it 
No more making it up to you 
I don't think that you're ever going to do it 
No more making it up to you 
I don't think that you're ever going to do it 
No more making it up to you 
I don't think that you're ever going to do it 
No more making it up to you 
I don't think that you're ever going to do it.... 
Give it back 
You need to give it back 
The loyalty is something that you lack 
Give it back 
My time and devotion 
Give it back 
The love that I gave 
No more making it up to you 
I don't think that you're ever going to do it.... 

I dream that someday we'll be able to 
Look back on this together and say 
It was for the best and that it made us 
Stronger today, stronger today 
There's much more for us to see 
A brand new day for you and me 
And with confidence I say, "We're better than ever" 
And I don't know where this will lead 
But in my life you need to be 
Cause I need to say, "Hello again" 
I'm so afraid that if I wait too long 
You'll never look in my eyes again 
With a look that gave me strength and gave me hope 
And made me feel I've inspired 
There's much more for us to see 
A brand new day for you and me 
And with confidence I say, "We're better than ever" 
And I don't know where this will lead 
But in my life you need to be 
Cause I need to say, "Hello again" 
Hello again, hello again, yea 
Hello again, yea 
There's much more for us to see 
A brand new day for you and me 
And with confidence I say, "We're better than ever" 
And I don't know where this will lead 
But in my life you need to be 
Cause I need to say, "Hello again" 

I just thought that I'd let you know 
That although I'm far 
I'm close to you within 
And all the time spent by your side 
Is taken deep in me 
Held for me to keep 
To look upon when I'm feeling like 
Everything and one 
Is hurting me for something or other 
It takes me to a better place 
Nowhere I'd rather go 
Thought I'd let you know 
Who you are 
What you do 
Makes me burn to be in you 
Who you are 
And what you do 
I'm burning to be in you 
I just thought that I'd let you know 
Being near you is 
A gift I only wish I could treasure 
But for now I'll sit and wait 
I'm still burning though 
Thought I'd let you know 
Who you are 
What you do 
Makes me burn to be in you 
Who you are 
What you do 
I'm burning to be in you 
Thought I'd let you know 
Feels like I'm falling 
I'm all on my own 
Thought I'd let you know 
It feels like I'm falling 
I'm all on my own 
Thought I'd let you know 
Who you are 
And what you do 
Makes me burn to be in you 
Who you are 
And what you do 
I'm burning to be in you 

Turn around and pick up the pieces 
I, like a rock, sink 
Sinking til I hit the bottom 
The water is much deeper than I thought 
Nothing to swim with 
Kicking but I keep sinking 
A lesson that no one could have ever taught 
Cause I can almost breathe the air 
Right beyond my fingertips 
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces 
One more push and I'll be there 
Back where I belong 
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces 
I see the picture 
Blurry but now it's in focus 
A fairy tale I purchased on my own 
I finally woke up 
Everything is better 
A chance for me to open up and grow 
I can almost breathe the air 
Right beyond my fingertips 
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces 
One more push and I'll be there 
Back where I belong 
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces 
Suffocating sinking further almost everyday 
Barely treading water knowing I will not give up 
I will not give up 
I will not give up 
I can almost breathe the air 
Right beyond my fingertips 
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces 
One more push and I'll be there 
Back where I belong 
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces 
Turn around and pick up the pieces 

Go on 
Make me feel it's useless 
When in fact it's you that need to have me near 
So now 
Keep me at safe distance 
And with a little persistence I'll make it crystal clear 
I'll be around 
Only if you want me to 
Be there by your side 
I'm ready for you 
So don't be afraid 
Cause I know what you're going through 
So when you think it's time 
I'm ready for you 
Now you seem to be content with 
A one sided friendship with you I've got to chase 
Slow down so I can smell the roses 
But the road you chose is crooked and unpaved 
My tires are spinning but to no avail 
That I'll be around 
Only if you want me to 
Be there by your side 
I'm ready for you 
Don't be afraid 
Cause I know what you're going through 
So when you think it's time 
I'm ready for you 
I'm ready for you 
That I'll be around 
Only if you want me to 
Be there by your side 
I'm ready for you 
I'll be around 
Cause I know what you're going through 
So when you think it's time 
I'm ready for you 

I stand here face to face 
With someone that I used to know 
He used to look at me and laugh 
But now he claims 
That he's known me for so very long 
But I remember being no one 
I wanted to be just like you 
So perfect, so untouchable 
Now you want me to be with you 
Someone who used to have it all 
Do you remember now 
You acted like you never noticed me 
Forget it 
Cause the gone has come around 
And you're not allowed to be a part of me 
Did you know me? 
Or were you too preoccupied 
With playing king in your small kingdom 
And now the real world 
Has stripped you of your royalty 
And from your kingdom you're evicted 
I wanted to be just like you 
So perfect, so untouchable 
Now you want me to be with you 
Someone who used to have it all 
Do you remember now 
You acted like you never noticed me 
Forget it 
Cause the gone has come around 
You're not allowed to be a part of me 
Part of me 
Part of me 
Part of me 
You're never going to be a part of me 
You're never going to be a part of me 
You're never going to be a part of me 
You're never going to be a part of me 
You're never going to be a part of me 
You're never going to be a part of me 
Do you remember now 
You acted like you never noticed me 
Forget it 
Cause the gone has come around 
You're not allowed to be a part of me 
Part of me 
Part of me 
Part of me 

I don't want you to give it all up 
And leave your own life collecting dust 
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me 
You never gave us a chance to be 
And I don't need you to be by my side 
To tell me that everything's alright 
I just wanted you to tell me the truth 
You know I'd do that for you 
Why are you running away? 
Why are you running away? 
Cause I did enough to show you that I 
Was willing to give and sacrifice 
And I was the one who was lifting you up 
When you thought your life had had enough 
And when I get close, you turn away 
There's nothing that I can do or say 
So now I need you to tell me the truth 
You know I'd do that for you 
So why are you running away? 
Why are you running away? 
Is it me, is it you 
Nothing that I can do 
To make you change your mind 
Is it me, is it you 
Nothing that I can do 
Is it a waste of time? 
Is it me, is it you 
Nothing that I can do 
To make you change your mind 
So why are you running away? 
Why are you running away? 
...What is it I've got to say... 
So why are you running away? 
...To make you admit you're afraid... 
Why are you running away? 

Make me feel again 
Slide across my skin again 
Let me uncover you to rediscover you 
And I will open up 
If you promise to give in 
On this perfect night 
Let the two of us be one 
We will be again another time 
No matter what all the others say 
Cause I would leave it all so far behind 
Just to be with you today 
So make me feel again 
Feel your every breath again 
Nevermind everyone 
There's only me and you 
We will be again another time 
No matter what all the others say 
Cause I would leave it all so far behind 
Just to be with you today 
Just to be with you today 
Just to be with you today 
Just to be with you 
We will be again another time 
No matter what all the others say 
Cause I would leave it all so far behind 
Just to be with you today 
So we will be again another time 
And I will do all I need to do 
To leave the others all so far behind 
Just so I can be 
Just so I can be.... 
....With you, with you, with you, with you.... 

I've been so long in waiting 
Putting my life on hold for this 
Chance to live out my dreams 
You think you know what I should 
Do with the choices I now have 
Make them benefit you 
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say 
Where were you when I was needy yesterday 
You want in with me, now that it's good 
But it's too little, too late 
Time and again I've asked you 
Just for some light to show the way 
I was in total darkness 
You act like I owe you something 
But I don't owe anything to anyone but me 
Have you no dignity? 
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say 
Where were you when I was needy yesterday 
You want in with me, now that it's good 
Where were you yesterday? 
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say 
Where were you when I was needy yesterday 
You want in with me, now that it's good 
But it's too little, too late 
You're too late 
I know exactly what I'll 
Do with the advice that you gave 
Watch me throw it all away 
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say 
Where were you when I was needy yesterday 
You want in with me, now that it's good 
Where were you yesterday? 
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say 
Where were you when I was needy yesterday 
You want in with me, now that it's good 
But it's too little, too late 
But it's too little, too late 
But it's too little, too late 

Staring at the white above 
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead 
Or is it in my head? 
Where'd I go wrong 
Staring at the white above 
One day I closed my eyes and here I am 
A cold, unhappy man 
I've come to realize the life I have I hate 
The pulse I need is slowly fading 
Until I've lost it all 
I've been waiting for an inspiration 
For a chance I never got to take 
Before it's much too late 
Where'd I go wrong 
Where's the boy that used to run? 
Could it be he's up and gone away? 
He seems so far away 
And all the things I could have done 
Could it be they've up and gone away? 
They seem so far away 
It feels as if the boy in me 
Has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter 
Imposter of myself 
I must find the one that used to be 
Approach him slow, don't be afraid to say 
"Can he come out and play?" 
Where'd I go wrong 
Staring at the sky above 
I've found a chance I'm finally going to take 
I've learned from my mistakes 
Where'd I go wrong
