Die Trying I think its time for me to go now Ive done more harm than good If I could change how this turned out yeah, you know that I would Sometimes the weight is more than I can hold Id rather fail than not know If it takes forever I will die trying If it takes forever I will die trying I will die trying I wish I knew then what I know now But Id probably do the same, yeah I get the feeling its planned out from the cradle to grave Sometimes the weight is more than I can hold Id rather fail than never really know I am digging a hole I am taking it all I am digging a hole to bury my soul I am digging Get Thru This Ive seen better days yeah so says the mirror Its hard to find divinity when youre the king of men If I can get thru this I can get thru anything If I can make it thru this I can get thru anything If I can get thru this I can get thru anything If I can make it thru this I promise you I promise you It could be much worse yeah, but the call is close Tomorrows my reason for today to let go With every ounce of who I am I will fight until the end If I can get thru this I can get thru that If you cut me wide open I can cut you some slack If you come when Im leaving I might never be back I know its not easy its a matter of fact I can get thru this Sorry Seems like everyday you cross my mind even after such a long long time Im still thinking about the way you smile, it tears me apart to know that it

wont ever be the same again No it wont ever be the same again Now Im sorry that I left you I cant go back, I cant change anything Im sorry that I said so long, I never meant to hurt you Sorry I waited so long Not really sure what Im doing back here or why I stayed away for all those years I guess I had to try to find myself Im the only one to blame, no one else can ever make it all go away Or make up, make up for all my mistakes If I could do this all over Id wanna go back, Id wanna go back If I could only start over I would take it all back, I would take it all back for you I would take it all back for you Whole Worlds Crazy Hes just a kid on the street Got it tough trying to make ends meet So high on low self-esteem Nowhere to wake up with no place to sleep I pass him by every week Offer change and hope he forgives me But will I ever know his name, will I ever know Is the whole world crazy now The whole worlds crazy now I dont wanna believe theres no way out Is the whole world crazy now Shes got a kid at thirteen He stole her innocence and fled the scene Disowned by a daddy who drinks They found her there by the bathroom sink Will I ever know her name, will I ever know I see your face even with my eyes shut I see your face, but will I ever know I see your face even with my eyes shut I see your face, but will I ever know that I dont even know your name

Completely I see the end of you and I I used to care I used to try to be the one to keep us alive But you and I just cant survive Through all your lies I now see you I cant believe the things that you do You think youll be better off alone Youre asking me to somehow let go Watch what you wish for you know that you just might get it Completely without me whats in your head is on your hands Completely without me I overturned I understand Like an angel without wings or a song that never sings Completely without me Completely without me Its hard to sleep in the bed you make Theres consequence for the path you take But you dont care, youll never learn that most of us get what we deserve I used to try to understand, but now I know its all in your head You think youll be better off alone Well I am finally good to let go Watch what you wish for you know that you just might get it Swallowing I can see you I can see you Swallowing I can see I can see I Will Be There Somebodys leaving Somebody gives a damn Somebodys dreaming cause somebody knows they can, you can For all the times this world aint fair I want you to know I will be there to watch you grow To let you know somebody cares I will be there to love you whole when nothing works and no one cares Somebodys dying An angel lost her wings And I think Im losing my mind Sometimes there aint no other way And when this life gets hard to bear I want you to know I will be there

to watch you grow To let you know somebody cares I will be there to love you whole when nothing works and no one cares I will be there, I will be there I will be there, I will be there Somebodys living cause somebody gives a damn You Dont Know Me You think you know me You got me figured out Youre casting shadows Im casting doubt You think you know me You think I care You should spend some time with the person in the mirror Im a fist, Im afraid, Im a link in the chain Worst of the best, but Im in this race You dont know me Im a knife, Im a rope, Im a bitter pill A tooth on the cog that you built to spill You dont know me Im not defined by what you think I am I wont fall into your predetermined plan All like diamonds without shine If you never take the time you never know what you wont find Im a crow, Im the most with the least to gain A fading Mona Lisa in a plywood frame You dont know me Im a ring on a tree in a life that fell What I did I done good and what I done I did well You dont know me You dont know what you think you know, what you think you know Hate is a river floating with money and greed Drawing borders, lines on a map we dont need Im a wall, Im a fence, Im a dotted line The land you kill for in the name of your kind You dont know me Im a storm, Im a sign, Im a bleeding heart The time that got away its already gone You dont know me You dont know me me you me you me you you dont know me you me you ohhh you dont know

Raining Im scared to look down Never been so high And I cant look up with a closing mind Im scared to be touched, I dont like the feel Its way too close, way too real Inside its raining, it never lets up I know Im crazy Crazy enough to know that I, Ill find a way to make this all go away Im scared to be me cause I look like you I dont wanna be somebody I never knew Im scared to go out, Im so far in I hear its nice, but Ive never been I found my only out, so just forget about talking me down yeah Ill put this fire out and stop the burning Inside its raining (Ill make this all go away) Best I Can Tonight I feel like the world wont miss me So much to say but theres no one listening If were alone are we all together in that I threw a penny in a well for wishing and prayed for all the things I think Im missing A little time is all I really need I am doing the best I can with everything I am Dont you know nobodys perfect Do you understand how hard Im trying to do the best I can The best I can A second chance to give you something It takes a lifetime to come from nothing I refuse to believe in running away I am doing the best I can with everything I am Dont you know nobodys perfect Do you understand how hard Im trying for you I am doing the best I can with everything I am Dont you know I think youre worth it Do you understand how hard Im trying to do the best I can The best I can I gotta picture of what matters and I keep it close to my heart Its a little faded but so am I Straight Across My Mind The first times easy I could walk away, but something in me makes me stay The second I leave you Im without Third time lucky without a doubt this disease is growing in me from a seed into a twisted tree Ohhh its like an obsession, an addiction Ohhh You keep on running straight across, straight across my mind Ill never look away Its like the sun has opened up my eyes Youre straight across my mind (my mind) Straight across my mind (my mind) Forced expression fails to meet expectations of the weak Cinco de Mayo comes again Six years dying to understand this disease thats growing in me from a seed into a twisted tree Breathe Again When I hesitate I know its just too late to bring you back, but still I need you I cant communicate the burden of this weight My world is black until I see you I dont know how, I dont know when, but I can finally breathe again Lifes too short, the days too long In the end I knew it all along I knew it all along Two sides of a knife, story of my life, the pain is sharp a comfort bleeds through I cant seem to clear my head, I wish that I was dead Falling apart cause I still need you I dont know how, I dont know when, but I can finally breathe again Lifes too short, the days too long In the end I knew it all along Like a newborn child, like a raven in the wind I can finally breathe again Better Off Why do I still want to answer every time you call Ive got to try to cut out this cancer before it gets too strong Im better off better off without you Im better off

better off without you I never thought that youd lie to me the way you do Im better off better off without you Killing it will end the torture but never stop the pain What kind of idiot makes a fortune just to piss it all away Its hard to forgive when you cant forget And now somehow I despise the day that we met I never thought that youd lie to me the way you do I used to think it would end up being me and you I never thought Id ever leave you for someone new Im better off better off without you Watching You Watching Me Im watching you sleep and are you awake anymore Can you hear me are you dreaming And hand out of reach truly impatient like the flower Do you see me through the reeling How will I fall with all your conditions at my feet How will I know its okay I am watching you watching me And healing with time is like watching paint dry Or March rains wash away all the feeling Is seeing believing How will I fall with all your conditions at my feet How will I know its okay How will I fare with towering expectations over me How will I know its too late I am watching you watching me I never knew I would find you I never knew I would have to let somebody in How can something so easy be so hard Words by Jonny Hetherington Lyrics Reprinted by Permission.
