Nickelback Album

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for me to be at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes i'll be laying out flat on the floor

Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what I did it, I admit it, I played in defence
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Eight minutes I'm losing it a little bit
Five minutes your description might be startin' to fit
Pretty goin' I'm forgetting all that I've ever known
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for being here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Can't stand up alone
Can't say anything at all

Left on an eastbound train
Gone first thing this morning
Why is what's best for you
Always the worst thing for me
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not through my own misleading
Who'll buy this lie you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore (2x)

Says I'm only tellin half of it
That's probably cause,
There's only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That's when we turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not through my own misleading
Who'll buy this lie you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore (2x)

Says I'm only tellin half of it
That's probably cause,
There's only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That's when we turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I'm tired of waiting
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I'm tired of hating

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not through my own misleading
Who'll buy this lie you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I don't, I won't

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Don't think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well I hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

Believe it or not, everyone, have things that they hide
Believe it or not, everyone, keep most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone, believes in something above
Believe it or not, everyone, needs to feel loved
Feel loved, well we're young and we won't until we figure out
Can someone believe in us, and send some kind of sign
So close to giving up, 'cause faith is so hard to find
But you're young and you won't, until we figure out

Seen it or not, every time, the world turns upside down
Believe it or not, most of us, feel like we're losing ground
Believe it or not, everyone, hated minute fear
Believe it or not, most of us, wanna know why we're here
Why we're here, well we're young and we won't until we figure out
Can someone believe in us, and send some kind of sign
So close to giving up, 'cause faith is so hard to find
Someone believe in us, and send some kind of sign
So close to giving up, 'cause faith is so hard to find
But you're young and you won't, until we figure out

Most of us have nothing to complain about
Most of us have things we can live without
Everyone needs advice on how to get along
You know we won't until we figure out

Believe it or not everyone

Believe it or not, everyone, have things that they hide
Believe it or not, everyone, keep most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone, believes in something above
Believe it or not, everyone, needs to feel loved
Feel loved, well we're young and we won't until we figure out
Can someone believe in us, and send some kind of sign
So close to giving up, 'cause faith is so hard to find
Someone believe in us, and send some kind of sign
So close to giving up, 'cause faith is so hard to find
But you're young and you won't, until we figure out

Missed you so bad that I begged you to fly here to see me
You must have broke down because she finally said that she would
But now that you're here I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Well something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feelin' we're too damn good

Forty-eight hours I don't think we left my hotel room
I'll show you the sights because I probably said that I would
Gotta make love just one last time in the shower
Well something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feelin' we're too damn good

It's like everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is where it should
This time is like where two of us will probably start to fight
Cause something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feelin' we're too damn good

It's on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding
You stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
With what you do
Because of you

You know I can't be there
It's time that you called
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that i see in your eye
I won't stand around and i won't watch you die
For what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
What you do
What you do
What becomes of

Now that you did this
You ask for forgiveness,
Doctor could you be my priest
You say you're mistaken
But look what you've taken
You laugh as you laugh through your teeth
With what you do
Because of you

You know I can't be there
It's time that you called
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that i see in your eye
I won't stand around and i won't watch you die
For what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
What you do
What you do
What becomes of

For what you do

It's on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding
You stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
With what you do
Because of you

You know I can't be there
It's time that you called
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
For what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
Do, what you do
What you do
What becomes of
Because of you

I love the pants around your feet
I love the dirt that's on your knees
I love the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite new disease

I love the places that we go
I love the people that you know
I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that I
Just figured you out
Now it wasn't that I
Knew who you are
Just figured you out

I'd like to bring her out tonight
I love the stains that're on your dress
I like the way you like me best
Put my patience to the test
I love the freckles on your chest

I love the way you pass the check
I love the good times that you wreck
I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
With my hands around your neck

Now, it wasn't that I
Knew who you are
Just kinda figured you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that I
Just kinda figured you out

I love the pants around your feet
I love the dirt that's on your knees
I love the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

I love the places that we go
I love the people that you know
I love the way you can't say no
Too many long nights in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that I
Just kinda figured you out
Now, it wasn't that I
I know who you are

There's clothes all over the floor
Don't remember them being here before
Smell of perfume is in here
Why's lipstick on the mirror
and still I don't understand

No pictures left in the hall
There's three new holes in my wall
Where the hell's my credit card
Why's my wallet in the yard
Still I don't understand

Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
It won't even out the other
Why's life gotta be so tough

Should see the look on my face
My shit's all over the place
Why is this happening to me
Why did you take both sets of keys
and still I don't understand

Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
It won't even out the other
Why's life gotta be so tough

There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being there before
There are no candles in here
Lipstick still on my mirror
And still I don't understand

And now I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
It won't even out the other

Baby's sprawled on the bathroom floor
The mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
When they ask you say it isn't mine

Oooh, you know they're gonna know you lied

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that Ii've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

So keep the way you're feeling out of this
And hide it all until the day you die
The secret's safe at least you thought it was
But you can only keep it for a little while

Oooh, and now you're terrified
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

Baby's sprawled on the bathroom floor
Mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
And when they ask you say it isn't mine

And damn you for thinkin' we would never know
And damn you for thinkin' we would never mind
Only reason that you'd make it this far
You never asked and you never try

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you out
Wash my, hands with this
You notice that I've gone to even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away

I'm through of thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived, you slam the door and so do i
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead

Your turn, you'd rather leave than live and learn
That's why, you want an end and so do I
This time, only leave it all behind
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
'Cause I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead

I'm through of thinking of things to say to you
It's true
I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived, you slam the door and so do i
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
'Cause I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I believe that you would leave

Crowds of screaming superstars
When bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on everyone
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I've been to see you scream to everyone

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

After hours of alcohol
Every club, we've seen 'em all
As long as we don't need to stand in line
Proudest scenes and bimbo dreams
The ladies love those limousines
We know we're gonna off every time

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

Crowds of screaming superstars
When bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on everyone
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I've been to see you scream to everyone

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down
And light it up 'til we burn it down
