I can’t get away
Without making a scene
Drag my body down
Sinking to the ground.
Chorus:
I told you
You’ll hate me
I live in the maybe
Dragging through the day
Will only make me pay
Drive the hammer down
Swallowed by the sound
Chorus:
I told you
You’ll hate me
I live in the maybe
Outro
I need to change my ways
I need to change my ways
I need to change my ways
I need to change my ways
Chorus:
I told you
You’ll hate me
I live in the maybe

Why don’t you listen
I’m trying to prove a point
Why does it matter
There’s nothing else to do
Helpless and caught between the lies
Helpless when fear takes over life
Like salt in my wound
I’m not over it
When do we get to choose
Without the resistance
Helpless and caught between the lies
Helpless when fear takes over life
Hope to never cease
The meaning of it all
Truth is an illusion
We never seem to find.
Helpless and caught between the lies
Helpless when fear takes over life

Fragile hopeless youth
Apart of something to be cool
Social justice breeds a warrior
Spineless wordsmith challenges no one
Chorus:
Everything you say is dumb
Your words never fit the song
Everything you say is dumb
I’m tired of playing along
Driving a car with your knees
You’re moving too slow to follow me
I’m afraid I’ll lose my grip
If you don’t start to give a shit.
Chorus:
Everything you say is dumb
Your words never fit the song
Everything you say is dumb
I’m tired of playing along
You truly need to find some friends
Or this will be your bitter end 2x

Now I know my part to take your abuse from the start
Why should I be free when you can own me
I apologize for being myself
To please you and everyone else
Respect comes with pain that few are offering
Attitude means more that color to the core
I apologize for being myself
To please you and everyone else 2x
Why would I be you
Insecure and rude
Why would I be you
Ignorant and blue

I’m on the move
But I’m still confused
How I choose an uncertain future with you
When we’re walking in the same shoes
There’s nothing we can do.
Miles away from touching you
Miles away from facing you again
Leaders are liars and say we are free
In the fire we are thrown to see how we fit
Against the greed and desire just wait and see.
Miles away from touching you
Miles away from facing you again

I always said we would be friends
Even when we get along
Is it the color of your hair?
Or the brightness in your eyes?
In 95
This is where we say it’s over
In 95
It doesn’t matter who’s right
In 95
I’ve accepted all the pain
In 95
Through the hardships and the strife.
When it all starts getting greasy
and I'm losing my grip
Pin that smile on your face
and pretend you don’t feel sick.
In 95
Press the break down easy
In 95
From coming in too fast
In 95
When I landed on your doorstep
In 95
I didn’t know what could have been.
Why did I
Lose my reputation
Why did I
Raise my expectations
Why did I 4x

Sometimes is better than nothing
I don’t mind.
Call me when you need something
to please you
Come away 3x
the feeling you got something out of it
Moral lines are burning red
Against you
Take more and leave the pieces
That framed you.
Come away 3x
the feeling you got something out of it

Today I have fallen down
Away from this shattered town
It’s hard to be tethered to a city that I once knew.
I met you when I was young
I’d take the hit and carry on
I met you when I was young
I broke you in and now I’m done
I fight to build my strength
A war is what it takes
I built a road right through
The middle of the soul of my youth
I met you when I was young
I’d take the hit and carry on
I met you when I was young
I broke you in and now I’m done
Kill the switch and shut the door
I’m over it coming back no more.
I met you when I was young
I’d take the hit and carry on
I met you when I was young
I broke you in and now I’m done

Lost and begging for more
I took a breath and I was done
Late with no time to waste
I built you up you dragged me down
I was lonely
Before I met you
I was lonely
After all this time
True Heart attached to your sleeve
I squeezed until it stopped
Fair when life is not fair
I took a guess and got it wrong.
I was lonely
Before I met you
I was lonely
After all this time

Lay on my arm as we sleep the night away
I from now on will remember why we met
Live, love, die
We never know our time
Live, love, lie
The end is never right without memories
Dream of the life I once knew without regret
Awake from time not replaced.
Live, love, die
We never know our time
Live, love, lie
The end is never right without memories
