Hawthorne Heights Album

It was the middle of the night
when I heard you took your life.
You were slowly changing, slowly changing
to black and white.

In the middle of the night
our clock was stopped in time.
You were slowly fading, slowly fading from day to night.

I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.
I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.

I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.

If we could have this one more day
I swear that I would find a way
to keep you here, to make you hear
that you mean everything.

Just give me five more minutes.
I'd give the world to have you in it.
My life is empty, if you could see me
would you have left this way?

I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.
I turn around, I turn around
and your not there.

I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.

I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.

You don't have to ask for anything
because you are still my everything.
I never feel complete without you.
I'll never heal completely without you back.

I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
(One last time)
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
(One last time)
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.

I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.

I never thought I'd ever make it.
It didn't hurt for me to try.
I'll do anything.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I just wish I could bring you back.

I'm so over being sick
I'm so sick of this relationship
Go get a doctor and an ambulance
I need your kiss it's the medicine
It get's me moving going back and forth
Everybody grab a map and help me chart the course
I brought a compass it's reading north
It doesn't really matter if it's back and forth

I thought that I should tell you (Whoa)
My world is crashing down, again
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling down
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling I'm falling
I don't care, I don't care what you think of me right now
Cause I'm gonna have a breakdown

My only choice is to over react
Is this a voice or just a panic attack?
I need a doctor to help me try to relax
No one ever told me I was living too fast

I thought I should tell you (Whoa)
My world is crashing down, again
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling down
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling I'm falling
I don't care, I don't care, what you think of me right now
Cause I'm gonna have a breakdown

You know me all to well but you never had the chance
To find out who I really am, who I really am
You know me all to well but you never had the chance
To find out who I really am, who I really am
I'm spinning round, I'm calling out
I'm gonna have a breakdown

I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling down
I'm spinning round coming out I'm falling I'm falling
I don't care, I don't care, what you think of me right now
Cause I'm gonna have a breakdown

Woah, woah
This tragedy is such a masterpiece
We set the table and we watch them feast
On the blood and the tears
They drain from the years
From the work of the young, young pioneers

Let's go down together for one more chance
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance
It's all the same, the same old sound
This is the end of the underground

Woah, woah
The story has such a common theme
We sign the line and we join the scene
For the blood and the tears
They drain from the years
From the sweat of the young, young volunteers
Woah

Let's go down together for one more chance
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance
It's all the same, the same old sound
This is the end of the underground

Please know that
You're not alone
Please know that
You're not alone
You're not alone
Please know that
You're not alone
You're not alone

Let's go down together for one more chance
The skeletons are screaming for one last dance
It's all the same, the same old sound
This is the end of the underground
[x3]

If you cut me, I will bleed
just enough to get your attention
here I am, I'm on display
pass me by without a mention
you never said this would be easy
but does it have to be so hard
my eyes are burning, my head is dizzy
a thousand miles doesn't seem so far

drive a thousand miles, it doesn't seem so far
what you leave behind makes up who you are

drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes
just drive away, just drive

spend an hour or a day
just enough to get my attention
as the wolves begin to play
here's a knife to cut the tension
all the nights seem dark and dreary
the morning sun begins with hope
sometimes I wonder if you can hear me
or have I reached the end of the road

drive a thousand miles, it doesn't seem so far
what you leave behind makes up who you are

drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes
just drive away, just drive

my voice is shaking from the risk I'm taking
I can't stop driving, the sun is rising

drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes
just drive away, just drive

This old place won't be the same
when the gravestones start to sing your name.
Got a lot of bad habits on the way to fame.
This old place won't be the same.
This old place won't be the same.

The mad mad world won't start to spin
until we learn to speak in unison.
Even in church I found a way to sin.
The mad mad world won't start to spin.
The mad mad world won't start to spin.

And I don't care anymore.

Here we are at the edge of the world.
I've got a six-string heart filled with diamonds and girls.
Late night drives we'll be getin' to god knows where.
I don't care.

Where we are or where I've been
I've got broken bones I'm torn from limb to limb.
I'd give anything just to see your ghost
as I drive from the East to the West coast.

And nothing matters now.
I've got no light to guide me home.
I'll learn to live without the name on the gravestone.

The days go by one by one.
I scream your name from my lungs.
Your spirits here in these songs.
The days go by one by one.
I count the days one by one.

The nights are lost without you here.
Oh, god its only been a year.
Keep waiting for you to reappear.
The nights are lost without you here.
It feels so strange without you here.

And I don't care anymore.

Here we are at the edge of the world.
I've got a six-string heart filled with diamonds and girls.
Late night drives we'll be getin' to god knows where.
I don't care.

Where we are or where I've been
I've got broken bones I'm torn from limb to limb.
I'd give anything just to see your ghost
as I drive from the East to the West coast.

And nothing matters now.
I've got no light to guide me home.
I'll learn to live without the name on the gravestone.

Doctor, doctor- can you please check my pulse?
it's beating slower; you told me I should expect the worst
I know my days are numbered now
just a few more months to go
I'll say my last good byes, farewell
and kiss the one i love the most

pick up the pieces of myself, pull me back together now

I'm just a man who was meant to be broken
a life stone whose life is winding down
my time is running out
I'm just a man whose dream had been stolen
a blood store whose policy is winding down
my time is running out

Doctor, doctor- can I have the good news first?
I'm not feeling well, and I can tell
you just don't have the cure

pick up the pieces of myself, pull me back together now

I'm just a man who was meant to be broken
a life stone whose life is winding down
my time is running out
I'm just a man whose dream had been stolen
a blood store whose policy is winding down
my time is running out

now I know the end is near
I'll call you off to face my fears alone
I'm dying, dying dear
so let me go, just let me go (go!)

pick up the pieces of myself, pull me back together now

I'm just a man who was meant to be broken
a life stone whose life is winding down
my time is running out
I'm just a man whose dream had been stolen
a blood store whose policy is winding down
my time is running out

I'll take control if you'll let me
just promise you won't forget these last few words
I'll take it slow and gentle
as long as you remember these last few words

just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day

Let's make this nice and easy
just swear that you'll never leave me
until I'm just a ghost
all this business is so painful
maybe I'm just too sentimental
with all this lack of being close to home

just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day
I know you feel so tired of all these arguments
just one more reason to call this all the end

look into my eyes and watch me burning bright
look into my eyes and watch me burn tonight
remember these last few words
remember these last few words

just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day
I know you feel so tired of all these arguments
just one more reason to call this all the end

just one more reason, to hate this all again
just one more way to make it through the day
I know you feel so tired of all these arguments
just one more reason to call this all the end

Breathe me in, I am your nicotine
I'll fill your lungs until you cannot breathe
swallow me down, I am your alcohol
I'll fill your gut with all the pain and loss
when you pass out, so you can sleep it off

bloodshot eyes don't tell the truth
abandoned drives lead to abuse
but I won't let you get away so soon
roll the dice, you'll either win or lose
your alibi has got me confused
but I won't let you get away so soon

crush me up, I am your amphetamines
I'll keep you up so you cannot dream
start with me, I am your gateway drug
turn to me when you don't belong
listen once, and you can turn me off

bloodshot eyes don't tell the truth
abandoned drives lead to abuse
but I won't let you get away so soon
roll the dice, you'll either win or lose
your alibi has got me confused
but I won't let you get away so soon

breathe me in, breathe me in
swallow me down and listen once
I am your gateway, gateway drug
I am your gateway, gateway drug
I am your gateway, gateway drug

if you open your eyes
I know you'll find yourself pain

bloodshot eyes don't tell the truth
abandoned drives lead to abuse
but I won't let you get away so soon
roll the dice, you'll either win or lose
your alibi has got me confused
but I won't let you get away so soon

The places I remember are getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and needs a little mending
am I not everything you thought I should be?

The faces in the picture are burnt just like the real ones
Our skin is the exposure it's gotten so much older
But am I not everything you thought I should be?

This life long competition still reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
my life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the world to see my guts

Where are you now? and where have you been?
Everything and everyone, Everything and everyone
Must come to an end

The children in the school yard have grown so cold and tired
The shift is almost over I'm praying I don't get fired
Life isn't everything I thought it should be

The bills left on the table will be payed if I was able to
Work a few more hours, my life has grown so sour
Because I'm not everything I thought I could be

This life long competition still reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
my life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the world to see my guts


Where are you now? and where have you been?
Everything and everyone, Everything and everyone
Must come to an end

The places I remember are getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and needs a little mending
am I not everything you thought I should be?

I lost myself again today
I'm not sure if I care
There's always something standing in my way

As they stop as they stop and stare
Stop dragging my life around Whadh
Stop talking behind my back
Whadh

I lost myself again today
And I don't care

Here I am
Listen to me now
Here I stand
I won't let you tear me down
I don't wanna live so far underground
So here I am and you're on your own

I fought the world and lost today
I need a place to call my own
I met myself along the way
I found the road that takes me home

Here I am
List to me Now
Here I stand
I won't let you tear me down
I don't wanna live so far underground
I know I'm lost and can't be found
So here I am and now you're on your own

Where is the life you said I had so far in front of me
I lost my way when you said I could be anything
Here I am and I'm still waiting
Here I am until you let me go

The clouds settle on the city
to canopy for movie scenes
a backdrop full of hope and dreams
the harder they try, the further they fall
their learning their lines, and waiting for calls
to be the next face
that takes the place of the one you used to love

here we go, here we go again this time
did you leave your heart tonight
on Hollywood and Vine
in the corner of your mind
she's waiting for a ride, to the other side
of Hollywood and Vine

you're no longer anonymous
the shine of fame has turned to rust
and you're the one whose wasted
every single chance you never took
the longer they wait, the further they are
they got what it takes, no matter the part
to be the next face
that takes the place of the one you used to love

here we go, here we go again this time
did you leave your heart tonight
on Hollywood and Vine
in the corner of your mind
she's waiting for a ride, to the other side
of Hollywood and Vine

in the corner of your mind, she's waiting for a ride
in the corner of your mind, she's waiting for a ride

here we go, here we go again this time
did you leave your heart tonight
on Hollywood and Vine
in the corner of your mind
she's waiting for a ride, to the other side
of Hollywood and Vine

All I need is to hear your voice and
You're Juliet and I'm just your poison
Slowly sinking in
I'm just your means to an end
All I want is to be the one to scratch
These words down on the pavement
Let the whole world know
It was time for us to go
Where am I going and where have I been?
The beginning of the end

This is the summer when I get my life together
If I, I come home empty handed
I know you'll understand that I
I know I'm always working, Cross my heart
I'm always searching
I try not to leave you there
I am so unforgivable

All I need is, I have to hear you
Real me in and you disappear
You left me on my own
This is how it feels to be alone
All I have are words and paper
I wrote her down and then erased her
Afraid to show myself
I'm not sure of how I felt
Where am I going and where have I been?
The beginning of the end

This is the summer when I get my life together
If I, I come home empty handed
I know you'll understand that I
I know I'm always working, Cross my heart
I'm always searching
I try not to leave you there
I am so unforgivable

All we are, are
Ticking clocks
Keeping track
Of time thats lost
(I am so unforgivable)

This is the summer when I get my life together
If I, I come home empty handed
I know you'll understand that I
I know I'm always working, cross my heart
I'm always searching
I try not to leave you there
I am so unforgivable

One sad and lonely boy
who could not fill the void
in his hollow and empty chest
his head is such a mess
she can never find the time
to try and clear his mind
it's as cloudy as the sky
without a ray of light

he never thought she said "I love you like a son"
I know your father's gone and the damage has been done

tonight, never let me hold you tight
never got to say goodbye
on our one and only, one and only night

every time he cried
he held it deep inside
so no one would ever know
the boy felt so alone
he can never find the time
to untie all the lies
she's worried about herself
he's crying out for help

he never thought she said "I love you like a son"
I know your father's gone and the damage has been done

tonight, never let me hold you tight
never got to say goodbye
on our one and only, one and only night
never let me hold you tight
never got to say goodbye
on our one and only, one and only night

heart of gold with a soul to match
I never thought anything could hold me back
I'm waiting, I'm always waiting
I packed my bags, and never looked back
I didn't know this would be the last I saw you
I never called you
I packed my bags, and never looked back
I didn't know this would be the last I saw you
I never called you

tonight, never let me hold you tight
never got to say goodbye
on our one and only, one and only night
never let me hold you tight
never got to say goodbye
on our one and only, one and only night

This old place won't be the same
when the gravestones start to sing your name.
Got a lot of bad habits on the way to fame.
This old place won't be the same.
This old place won't be the same.

The mad mad world won't start to spin
until we learn to speak in unison.
Even in church I found a way to sin.
The mad mad world won't start to spin.
The mad mad world won't start to spin.

And I don't care anymore.

Here we are at the edge of the world.
I've got a six-string heart filled with diamonds and girls.
Late night drives we'll be getin' to god knows where.
I don't care.

Where we are or where I've been
I've got broken bones I'm torn from limb to limb.
I'd give anything just to see your ghost
as I drive from the East to the West coast.

And nothing matters now.
I've got no light to guide me home.
I'll learn to live without the name on the gravestone.

The days go by one by one.
I scream your name from my lungs.
Your spirits here in these songs.
The days go by one by one.
I count the days one by one.

The nights are lost without you here.
Oh, god its only been a year.
Keep waiting for you to reappear.
The nights are lost without you here.
It feels so strange without you here.

And I don't care anymore.

Here we are at the edge of the world.
I've got a six-string heart filled with diamonds and girls.
Late night drives we'll be getin' to god knows where.
I don't care.

Where we are or where I've been
I've got broken bones I'm torn from limb to limb.
I'd give anything just to see your ghost
as I drive from the East to the West coast.

And nothing matters now.
I've got no light to guide me home.
I'll learn to live without the name on the gravestone.
