Heart (In Pieces)

You hold my hand too tight,

It hurts sometimes.

I’m scared to believe that look in your eyes,

Is for me sometimes.

Cause I can’t see this being forever,

And you can’t see us not together,

And I’m scared one day, I’ll be gone.

And you’ll stay,.

 

Heart of glass, heart of stone,

Heart of wood, watch it float,

Down a river of denial,

Heart of glass, heart of stone,

Heart of paper, let it go,

You’ll be in pieces before you know.

This heart of gold,

This heart of gold.

 

I can’t look back and regret,

All I said.

To let you believe that this was real,

To let you know just how I feel,

Cause I can’t see this being forever,

And you can’t see us not together,

And I’m scared one day, I’ll be gone.

And you’ll stay.

 

Heart of glass, heart of stone,

Heart of wood, watch it float,

Down a river of denial,

Heart of glass, heart of stone,

Heart of paper, let it go,

You’ll be in pieces before you know.

This heart of gold,

This heart of gold.

 

And I let you go,

And I let you down,

You say, I lead you,

You say I let you down.

But you’re too heavy,

To keep you always hanging around.

Your heart of gold.

 

Heart of glass, heart of stone,

Heart of wood, watch it float,

Down a river of denial,

Heart of glass, heart of stone,

Heart of paper, let it go,

You’ll be in pieces before you know.

This heart of gold,

This heart of gold.

The Wake Up Call

Isn’t it hard to get out of your head?

Cause there your world isn’t perfect, it’s a mess,

You’re a mess.

Isn’t it hard to get out of your head?

Every song they ever wrote you,

Trying to make you feel better,

Make you feel wanted.

 

I try, so hard, to wake you up in the morning,

You try, so hard, to stay in bed and keep dreaming,

I live, this lie, inspired by you,

Inspired by you, this lie, i try, so hard.

 

Isn’t it scary to see the lights all fade away?

Was it worth your satisfaction to ruin everything we made?

You’re a mess, you’re a mess, I take out the garbage,

The immeadiate damage.

Isn’t it scary to see all the lights fade?

Out of your sight, into the shadows,

Forget your past, forget your tomorrows,

Cause you’re not living your today.

 

I try, so hard, to wake you up in the morning,

You try, so hard, to stay in bed and keep dreaming,

I live, this lie, inspired by you,

Inspired by you, this lie, i try, so hard.

 

Climb out your window to get away,

Don’t leave here on goodbye,

I’m just glad you’re getting away,

Somewhere you can sleep in peace,

And I can dream that you’ll come back alive.

Inspired…

This is the wake up call.

(To wake you up in the morning)

This is the wake up call.

(To wake you up in the morning)

This is the wake up call.

 

I try, so hard, to wake you up in the morning,

You try, so hard, to stay in bed and keep dreaming,

I live, this lie, inspired by you,

Inspired by you, this lie, i try, so hard.

Tragedy

Vanity, oh, oh, your tragedy,

Leaves you bruised and bleeding,

Struggling to breath and,

Oh, oh, but you look just fine,

Oh, but you look just fine.

Wired Closed

How much do you see with your eyes closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, they could’ve changed you,

But this was much more entertaining.

 

You can’t bear the thought of you sidelined.

You belong front and center, just like you were told.

You’re as stable as shaking hand,

But smile so no one knows.

 

How much do you see with your eyes closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, they could’ve changed you,

But this was much more entertaining.

 

Brace yourself for the break down,

You knew it was time for a new.

This set of cryptic secrets, reveal what you suspected we knew.

The price of our freedom is freedom to choose,

But you blame the victim for all you make them lose.

 

How much do you see with your eyes closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, they could’ve changed you,

But this was much more entertaining,

And oh,

How much do you see with your eyes wired closed?

How much do you hear with your mouth wide open?

Oh, this was much more entertaining,

Oh, this was much more entertaining.

Masterpiece

Is it some kind of sign when I don’t hear you breathe,

Should I make an excuse to go when you want me to?

Imagine all the tiny stars went out,

We’d sit here in the dark,

Imagine all the tiny stars went out,

We’d sit here in the dark.

 

You take all my oxygen away from me,

To start a fire bigger than both of our broken hearts,

I’m left to stare in wonder,

At the destruction of the masterpiece of us.

The masterpiece of us…

 

This is not just a phase can’t bulldoze through this roughness,

I can’t stand my relfection when there’s guilt in my eyes.

I don’t know what I’m sorry for,

I guess I’m not still when you leave me on the floor.

Imagine all the tiny stars went out,

I would sit here in the dark.

Imagine all he tiny stars went out,

I would sit here in the dark.

 

You take all my oxygen away from me,

To start a fire bigger than both of our broken hearts,

I’m left to stare in wonder,

At the destruction of the masterpiece of us.

The masterpiece of us…

You take all my oxygen away from me,

To start a fire bigger than both of our broken hearts,

I’m left to stare in wonder,

At the destruction of the masterpiece of us.

The masterpiece of us…

Imagine all the tiny stars…

All the tiny stars…

Blew out.

Collars

In this kind of sunshine, it makes me squint at the light,

I can’t see your smile so clear, but I can hear it in your voice,

And I can tell what you’re smiling at, (smiling at),

It’s not me, woah no, I don’t do that to you,

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

 

They force you into their collars,

They force you into their boxes.

They take away all of your colors.

Oh…

 

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

 

Dance beneath the wind and moonlight,

Your faults can’t be seen so clear tonight,

I’m only a few back, I guess it’s a little hard to tell,

Who’s wrong here, when you keep messing up,

And I keep on pretending it’s okay.

But no,

But no, it’s not okay.

 

They force you into their collars,

And they fit you into ther boxes,

They take away all of you colors,

Oh..

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

 

I’m not a stranger, not yet, not anymore,

Not a stranger, not a stranger,

Look in your face, do I see a friend?

Not a stranger, not a stranger, not yet, not anymore.

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

 

They force you into their collars,

They force you into their boxes.

They take away all of your colors.

Oh…

 

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

  (like me) (like me) (like me)

Count The Scars

I can picture your face when you get this letter

I can hear the sobs that it may produce

And i’m sorry, but to get better,

We’ve got to tie the ends that lay loose.

It’s not about leaving you behind,

It’s not about wanting to stay.

I’ve got to go where I’m not yet welcomed,

I’ve got to find where my air can fill a space.

 

Will you still be the same when I’m gone?

Do I want you to be, or do I want you sad?

You can carry on with out me.

I want all of my footsteps traced back right to my feet,

Count the scars I make when I leave, cause I’m sorry,

But I just have to go.

 

I’m too tired to raise my voice, I’m too tired to argue.

I never make my point, and I never get through.

Your halo shine’s too bright for me to keep standing in this room,

My guilt can’t keep me chained,

Where we are I find it hard to smile,

Your hopes won’t make me stay,

I’ve a feeling i’ll be gone a while.

 

Will you still be the same when I’m gone?

Do I want you to be, or do I want you sad?

You can carry on with out me.

I want all of my footsteps traced back right to my feet,

Count the scars I make when I leave, cause I’m sorry,

But I just have to go.

 

I can see your face when you read this letter.

Count the scars, count the scars,

Cause I’m sorry but I just have to go,

You made me have to go.

 

Will you still be the same when I’m gone?

Do I want you to be, or do I want you sad?

You can carry on with out me.

I want all of my footsteps traced back right to my feet,

Count the scars I make when I leave, cause I’m sorry,

But I just have to go.

It Mattered

I watch your lips move,

But don’t hear the sounds,

I should be done with this conversation,

Cause it’s been so long,

Since we’ve said anything at all.

 

It mattered to you before,

That I was comfortable,

That I was sure.

 

And now all we’ve got are these habits,

And they’re tearing us apart,

I’m not just one of your habits,

I won’t sit here, and watch us, fall apart.

 

Please pass the salt,

But your arm can’t quite reach,

Across the distant great, between us.

Can’t meet your eyes, it makes me wanna cry,

Cause this distant between us, keeps me alive.

 

It mattered to you before,

That I was comfortable,

That I was sure.

 

And now all we’ve got are these habits,

And they’re tearing us apart,

I’m not just one of your habits,

I won’t sit here, and watch us, fall apart.

 

Does it matter, now?

Does it matter?

I’m uncomfortable, I’m unsure.

 

It mattered to you before,

That I was comfortable,

That I was sure.

 

And now all we’ve got are these habits,

And they’re tearing us apart,

I’m not just one of your habits,

I won’t sit here, and watch us, fall apart.

 

You might as well, go now.

Stop moving your lips when you make no sound.

You might as well go.
