Empty boxes scattered round the room I gotta pack and leave real soon Not gonna throw my life away Doing things just ‘cause you say Maybe you’ll end up missing me some day So now I’m writing this letter to you I’m trying to tell you all the things that I wish you wouldn’t do I just wanted you to know And now I’ve got to go You said, you said I can’t be happy And I said, I said Just let me go And you cried, you cried We’re meant together Well you lied, you lied, you lied My own mother had to go and bite her tongue You pulled me in I was so young (was so fucking young) My heads always looking down Everytime that you’re around It’s like you like to watch me drown So now I’m writing this letter to you I’m trying to tell you all the things that I wish you wouldn’t do I just wanted you to know And now I’ve got to go You said, you said I can’t be happy And I said, I said Just let me go And you cried, you cried We’re meant together Well you lied, you lied, you lied So now I’m writing this letter to you I’m trying to tell you all the things that I wish you wouldn’t do I just wanted you to know And now I’ve got to go You said, you said I can’t be happy And I said, I said Just let me go And you cried, you cried We’re meant together Well you lied, you lied, you lied You said you loved me, just wanted to fuck me You never knew me, you never even fuckin’ knew me

I'm Done 04:06
I put every bit of my own trust in you And I’ve waited all of my life to get love from you And now I’m here all alone thinking what’s wrong with you No it’s not my fault But every night and every day Well I would hope and I would pray That you would come around someday And give me just a chance But I’m done Yeah I’m through What you want Oh, baby it will never come true I would have given up the coat on my own back for you And I collected all of the stars in the sky for you I would have made every single one of your dreams come true But you never let me stay But every night and every day Well I would hope and I would pray That you would come around someday And give me just a chance But I’m done Yeah I’m through What you want Oh, baby it will never come true (x2) I loved you a long time I tried to make you mine I wanted all the love from you Now I’m done chasing you (x2) I loved you a long time I tried to make you mine I wanted all the love from you Now I’m done chasing you (x2) But I’m done Yeah I’m through What you want Oh, baby it will never come true But I’m done Yeah, fuck you What you want Oh, baby it will never come true, come true, come true

My hopes keep crashing down But I don’t make a sound I tell myself you’ll change Pieces I rearrange I know someday I’ll drown I’ll wait here for my crown But you just seem to keep sweet talking I don’t know why I’ve yet to start walking And I’m not strong But I’m trying I’m leaving everything (I’m leaving everything) Hey! Pictures and movies will never really show But it’s best to be alone Not waiting by the phone Candy and roses will never really do ‘Cause I can’t forget that bruise You left now I’m all new And I’m not strong But I’m trying I’m leaving everything (I’m leaving everything) I never said You keep on lying Always tried No one understands me on the inside I never cared Yeah, I figured Shut me out I needed you there when I cried I never said You keep on lying Always tried I can’t ever forget what you did I never cared Yeah, I figured Shut me out All those memories are dead My heart is broken I plan to let it heal But this wound is all too real Something I can’t conceal You took her home and then you went inside And now all our love has died Hope you enjoyed the ride And I’m not strong But I’m trying I’m leaving everything (I’m leaving everything) I never said You keep on lying Always tried No one understands me on the inside I never cared Yeah, I figured Shut me out I needed you there when I cried I never said You keep on lying Always tried I can’t ever forget what you did I never cared Yeah, I figured Shut me out All those memories are dead You build me up just to knock me down

Hometown 04:34
Here we are now walking around this town And everybody’s looking at you asking where you’re from You just smile politely and then you say I always told myself that I’d be back one day See the people in the street that you used to know You see the places in this town where you used to go See that time has really changed a lot so far Pass that place that was a park, it’s now a bar See the trees where you used to play hide and seek Now they’re places with the stories that will never leave See the wind start to pick up as you walk that way You always told yourself that you’d be back one day You tried so hard To just remember The flowers you smelled when you would walk outside The people who held your hand when you cried The way that the stars would shine so bright This was your hometown The cars in the street wave as they go by The ones who would stick by your side and never ask why The reason you came to this place tonight This was your hometown You pass the coffee shop where you had your first date Remember that young love thinking it was great Well look around and think of all the broken hearts But this town is where it did all start Think of all the stupid things that you used to do How your life could have changed if you only knew But that’s just how your life’s supposed to be If only you could see what this town meant to me You tried so hard (You tried so hard) To just remember The flowers you smelled when you would walk outside The people who held your hand when you cried The way that the stars would shine so bright This was your hometown The cars in the street wave as they drove by The ones who would stick by your side and never ask why The reason you came to this place tonight This was your hometown You tried so hard To just remember The flowers you smelled when you would walk outside The people who held your hand when you cried The way that the stars would shine so bright This was your hometown The cars in the street wave as they go by The ones who would stick by your side and never ask why The reason you came to this place tonight This was your hometown (This was your)

The walls were painted red Yeah, that’s what they said And there were bodies all around Lifeless with bullets through their head Yeah, there’s only so much tears to be shed About those hundred rounds of lead We’re praying and obeying And trusting we’ll make it through Tomorrow just wake up And find this all wasn’t true We’re hoping god can hear us And pray that he help us through We’re waiting for a hero We’re waiting for a hero Their tempers steaming hot But their hearts were so cold And yeah they screamed at them a lot Told them to do as they were told Yeah they never gave them a chance They loved that their fate they now controlled We’re praying and obeying And trusting we’ll make it through Tomorrow just wake up And find this all wasn’t true We’re hoping god can hear us And pray that he help us through We’re waiting for a hero We’re waiting for a hero(x2) Can’t be right, what just happened (x3) Just happened, just happened

And even though they’ve thrown me to the ground Hopes and dreams keep crashing all around I know that I am not alone I’ve made this life my own Well I’ve watched my friends all leave Made it hard to believe That they’ll be there for me They all pushed me away I work so hard More than you know Struggle to keep my head afloat I put up with all your shit And even though they’ve thrown me to the ground Hopes and dreams keep crashing all around I know that I am not alone And I’ve made this life my own And even when they all push me away And when the bright skies turn to grey I’ll be standing in the rain I'll be pushing through the pain Well I’ll hold my own damn hand Be the one who says I can Yeah, I'll show myself the way They’ll all rue this someday I work so hard More than you know Struggle to keep my head afloat I put up with all your shit And even though they’ve thrown me to the ground Hopes and dreams keep crashing all around I know that I am not alone And I’ve made this life my own And even when they all push me away And when the bright skies turn to grey I’ll be standing in the rain I'll be pushing through the pain Get the fuck up I work so hard More than you know Struggle to keep my head afloat I put up with all your shit And even though they’ve thrown me to the ground Hopes and dreams keep crashing all around I know that I am not alone And I’ve made this life my own And even when they all push me away And when the bright skies turn to grey I’ll be standing in the rain I'll be pushing through the pain

Listen up to my story here I met a guy at the bar last year He told, he warned me Stay young forever Late nights come and go to quick He got a job then he met a chick Their kids just finished school So stay young forever You should never go home from the bar before close You should never stop dancing or playing at shows You should always tell those who you love so they know You should never grow up, you should never grow old He said watch your step He said don’t waste your time left Don’t wait live for now It’s your glass so drink it now Concentration Determination Can all come later on So keep it simple Oh, so simple Life’s a game Play along We sat down on a railroad track He explained how his wife went wack Took their kids and their house away So stay young forever Cracked a beer and he let me try One thing before he said goodbye He told me live for me And stay young forever You should never go home from the bar before close You should never stop dancing or playing at shows You should always tell those who you love so they know You should never grow up, you should never grow old He said watch your step He said don’t waste your time left Don’t wait live for now It’s your glass so drink it now Concentration Determination Can all come later on So keep it simple Oh, so simple Life’s a game Play along Yeah keep it simple, oh so simple Life’s a game play along They say time don’t waste They say don’t stay up late They say no not today No, no not today They say there’s always more They say it’s past that door They say to go that way But I say not today No, no not today No, no not today They say time don’t waste They say don’t stay up late They say no not today No, no not today They say there’s always more They say it’s past that door They say to go that way But I say not today No, no not today But I say not today
