light sleeper this end up
we left the light on in my room
but i never wanted it like this
we left the past before it happened
so what's the point when it's like this

i used to be the same as you
i used to be more than happy
so where's the open hand you promised me before?
where's the girl who made me happy?

take my, take my hand
take me in my sleep
take me with you when you go
take me far away from this place
stuck in your ways
will you ever change or stay the same?
i think i know
but this time i'm giving it back to you
won't mean the things you say aren't true
but this i know:

it's everything to you
the things that just don't matter in the long run
but sometimes people seem to think they do
it's everything to you
it's everything without the way you hang your head
but nothing's gonna change until you do

crowned with a leash you play your game
forced to live this lie and forced to live alone
but this time i'm giving it back to you
won't mean the things you say aren't true
but this i know:

you never trust yourself
class of 86 forget me nots
more than i can take
it was easier than this before
there's nothing left, nothing's here for me
more than i can take, sorry if i can't let go
i'm still picking up the pieces of our past

bend until i break
this silence makes me feel so cold
it's like nothing's left, nothing's here for me
close your eyes and soon it will be over
don't you wanna see to make sure that i'm ok?

but i still love you just the same
that's one of my mistakes
what am i to say to you next time you call?
and i remember all those days
when we stayed in bed til noon
that just seems to far away
is this what happens when days become a blur?

you need a reason to wear your heart on your sleeve
but i'm not sure if that's a good thing
you need a reason to stay the same as yesterday
'cause nothing's gonna change

my sunday best won't do
never will be good enough for you
running with scissors sore loser
what did you expect of me?
i held on the best i could
i built this place with these two hands
we're carving out our name
did you think that i'd be here forever?

if my skin could crawl
then who'd be laughing now

if skin could crawl would you be willing?
can't stand to see your face
you hurt me once, but i'd be willing;
the most pathetic thing you've ever seen
head in hands; they'll pick you up again
head in hands; stood outside your door when he was there

and i will breathe a sigh
no longer will i wait;
leaving a trail of crumbs to find my way back home
and i will breathe a sigh;
the only one that i may get;
knowing i stretch myself to find my way back home
can i walk you home tonight?
you know only you can make me crazy
'cause if i'm going down it'll be with someone i long for

don't turn your head
you might hear the things i wish i'd said
don't turn your head
you're leaving me no choice to take tonight you're gonna bleed

don't close your eyes
another day won't pass you by
don't close your eyes
sometimes tomorrow is the rest of your life

what's that i see?
the fear that's in your eyes, looking back on all your lies
'cause i don't know how many times i've played it back
may god forgive me, 'cause i don't think you can
fragile prize fighter
where has all my time gone
i'm running out of promises to keep
and friends like you that i don't need

would you say that i've been sleeping for too long
or is it just the way i see myself is always wrong
and would you tell me if you thought that i had changed
or never even noticed if my voice was sounding strange

with all these things
i feel my inspiration running out on me
can't you see

everyday i see the difference
and everyday there's something wrong
everyday i see the difference
(i can't save myself for very long)
and i can't save myself

put on my ugly face
and from now on we'll see what chances i take
i trade my paperclips by day
the ice chips on my back don't melt away
still the same, but who's to know
finding reasons why i can't let go
beneath these dirty hands i lay
but this heavy load it burns

so be careful what you wish for
just be careful what you wish for
it just might slip away
if there's nothing left for me to say

put on my pokerface
and maybe i won't see the ways you've changed
i trade my dishpan hands
for the freedom of myself
still the same, i need to know
if falling into you can help me let go
cover up my paper cuts
and hopefully i've given up on you

in this calm i find
this sympathy's run dry
edging to your doorstep
is farthest from my mind

ringfinger failure by design
here is anywhere
the lights are far and few
she said-"don't go anywhere and soon i'll forget you"

fear is everywhere
always the last to know
i said-"i can go anywhere and maybe she won't have to go"

and there's nothing to repay this
cause i've hurt enough and now it's time to let go

burning the candle at both ends
i'll never know the difference
the way to lose your friends
burning the candle at both ends
the summer's gone too quickly
and winter cold begins

the sand beneath my back
it pulls me into this
the last sunset to sail
i tried to warn you, but you just didn't care

these dreams have taken me
and i don't think i'm coming back
cause in these dreams i've seen my better half
these dreams have taken me
to a place where no one cares
cause in these dreams, it seems, you learn from what you lack

burning the candle at both ends
i finally see the difference
it's you i can depend
cause you won't let me down again
this starry navigation
it holds the anger in

breathing in only if you wanted me to
when i told you i was sorry
i knew it wasn't true, but i wanted you to go
feelings used to tell me what i like to hear
but now they're gone, and when i need them most

don't you know it hurts me too
to see your face
don't you know it hurts me too

when you're satisfied with ordinary things
i think it's time for me to go back home
just because i'll always be the one to blame
it doesn't mean that you'll always be alone

don't you know it hurts me too
to see you go
don't you know it hurts me too

reaching for your face
holding onto nothing
breathing in what isn't there
reaching for your face
satisfied with nothing
breathing in what isn't there

but somethings gotta give
maybe we can try and work this out
but somehow i don't see that coming true
cause you don't seem to care
and i don't feel like trying
maybe it's not worth that much to you

i read you like the paper
crumbled on my floor
i see you've gone away
but what difference does it make
does it make me any better
to stop you or to watch you as you go

such a long time since we've spoken
and reasons never change
cause in the past you left me broken

and i will run so far away
with someone that i call my friend
the winter left me faded in hope
we'll die no more
and i won't let you know

the walk to your front door
it brings me back to this
but this, i know, is wrong
and i could stop the world for you
but only if you wanted me to

i've finally let go
but it doesn't mean that i don't miss you
and i've wanted you to know
that i never meant that i don't miss you

now i know that wishes don't come true
at least not for me
should've known the right thing wasn't you
at least not for me

too many tomorrows(fair warning) insomnia
this feeling's coming back
it's coming back to me
it's something like regret
but don't ever tell me how you feel
cause i might hold that against you
it's something i'd regret

don't follow me, i'm going back
i'll open up my eyes and see where i've been headed
don't follow me
i'm not the one to lead you out of here
forget me if you can

i'm planted in this bed i made
no room to breathe from what i gave
return the favor and you'll see where i've gone wrong
cause i knew it all along

i've seen too many times-this game we like to play
so keep on walking and find your own way home
i've seen too many times-tomorrow's not the same
so just stop talking and find your own way home

i've seen too many times
and i've used too many lines on you
but i'll waste another dime
and ask myself the same i ask of you
hold back the words that say i won't be here
build up the nerve and switch to second gear
coffee stains tell me i should stay
but tomorrow

there's nothing left
but these two paintings on my wall
showing everything we've lost
and i forget how it ever got this far
those nights are never far enough away from me

last night the wind became my voice
but you did all the dreaming for us both
last night i didn't have a choice
cause you did all the dreaming for us both

i can't forget
the way we held on to our pain
and tried to dry off in the rain
when we first met
and all the times we never had
those nights are never far enough away from me

and i remember how i'd wake up so uncomfortable
did anything we ever did make sense?
and how i'd get sometimes knowing you were there with me
now i know i never slept at all
