Dusty roads
Hopeless nights
Looking at.. blinding lights
Saw your ghost here tonight
It lingers on and I feel your life
Pulling me back to the place
But the thought of staring back at you is more than I can face
And its a long way down
From where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land.
And its a long way down..
To you

Dusty roads,
Hopeless nights..
Looking at blinding lights
Saw your ghost,
Its alive.
It lingers on, feel your life.
Pulling me back to the place...
But the thought of staring back at you was more than I could face

And it's a long way now,
From where I used to rest my head
And it's safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land
It's a long way down to you..
To you
To you
To you...

Saw your ghost..
It's alive.
Lingers on, I feel your life..

And it's a long way now
To where I used to rest my head
And it's safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
And It's a long way down
It's a long way down
To where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
And it's a long way down to you...

Tell me what you need
And I will find a way
To stop the bleeding
No, don't let my mistakes

Tell me you're not leaving
And I'll tell you everything you need
To know
Don't throw it all away
Don't see my word told just too late

I don't wanna be left behind
I've been so blind
To all that I've broken
Can we put this part together?
No more empty promises
They dont exist
Just me I'm ending open
I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance
To make it right?

You say the story is ending
But I think it's time to stop pretending
Know can let into the page
Doesn't your heart remember
When we used to say forever
Don't let go
Don't throw it all away
Don't see this word told just too late

I don't wanna be left behind
I've been so blind
To all that I've broken
Can we put this part together?
No more empty promises
They don't exist
Just me I'm ending open
I know this will take time

Can we put the past behind
Tonight I'll gonna fight for you
Just give me one last chance to make it right
Last chance to make it right

I don't wanna be left behind
I've been so blind

To all that I've broken
Can we put this part together?
No more empty promises
They don't exist
Just me I'm ending open
I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance
To make it right?
Give me one last chance to make it right
Last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right

No more promises
They don't exist
Just me I'm ending open
I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right

Cry out all who care to know
I've been hollow way too long
I know where I'm going wrong
There's nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through...

Color blind I paint your blue sky grey
But this time you'll shed some light on me
Just before I fade away
There's nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through...

All the chances that you're takin'
The promises that I keep breaking down
Writings on the wall
Can't make out all the letters
But I know it's getting better now
The writings on the wall

Get me through...

There's nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through...

All those years
One day changes everything, and
Gone and your life and the passion fades away
Saving for something
That you'll never see in your days
Shutting out everything that you need

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for ever after
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we
used to crowd away
Giving in or leaving this now
Now we have what we have become
All the tears
We never thought wed see the day when
The trappings of your life
would seem to disappear
Goin through the vacancy you leave behind
Not what you have promised,
Not what you believed

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for ever after
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we
used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when
nothing really matters
Chase the light that's
blinding even as you crowd away
Now we have what we have become
Now you fight to ease your pain
Now you know it's not the way out
Now you know it's not the way out
Not the way out

Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we
used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when
nothing really matters
Chase the light that's
blinding even as you crowd away
Now we have what we have become

Your life is like a crack in the mirror
Seven years of bad luck, it ain't getting better now
And after all is said and done
Your reflection in the window is the same old face
Background, small town, every way you look around
Tell me what you're running from

Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Head, you are gonna stay
But it's tail so you can

Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Sell it to yourself, but you know it's just a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside

Nothing faster than the speed of your leaving
A hundred miles an hour and there ain't no slowing down
But you can't outrun yourself
Hey, you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck
But now you are skipping like a broken record going 'round
And you are the last to ask for help

Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Head, you are gonna stay
But it's tail so you can

Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Sell it to yourself but you know it's just a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside

There's never really been the question of how far
The beginning of every destination, there you are

You can move to another town
Hide where you're sure won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
Oh you can pretend it'll be alright
No matter how you sell it
When you tell it it's a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside

(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)

Still love you on the inside

The traffic light
Waits for you to tell me the tale of a shattered life, tonight
And I just passed by when you have had the chance to fight
Or would you spend your last days alone
Thinkin nobody would have cared
or known just look me in the eye and see that its a light
So you're telling me, this is how you're going down
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Well you are way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how Id never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
What I left behind, what I left behind
Need a change
In a minute of my time did I get your name?
Well you say, that I haven't been asked that in years
Now I think, the traffic light that stood in the way
So that I can hear what you had to say
Im half way through your story
Cant help thinking that you're just like me

This is how Im going down
I thought that they never really wanted me around
Well I was way off track to think like that
Coz now Im taken back, everything that I ever said
bout how they'd never want to see me again
Well this is what I, what I left behind

Forgetting about ourselves
Is like history that dust is covering left on the self, on the self
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say

Yeah, this is how you're going down
You thought Id never really wanted you around
Well you were way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how I never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
This is how you're going down
This is what I, what I left behind
