I was at the top
I had it all, it all
I ran myself, out of luck
My sudden rise, then fall
Friends are easy,
When they're greedy
Im more shallow than I thought
I treat everyone like they're beneath me
And Im so sorry, why should it come from me
I was more ignorant than I thought I would be
How far do I have to go
To prove I've gone nowhere?
How long will I stay under
Until I come back up for air?
I had never dreamed
But it all came to me
I was too caught up in my vanity
I had never dreamed
But it all came to me
I was too caught up in my vanity
I fell down hard
With no one to catch me
The struggles of life are now real to me
The weight of the world makes it hard to breathe
I wake up and hate myself more and more
I pour my coffee and spill it on the floor
I need to take my life
But I dont get off till four
Im not used to being told what to do
I cant live in a poor man's shoes
The world has beaten me black and blue
I dont know what to do
But im not scared
I had never dreamed
But it all came to me
I was too caught up in my vanity
I had never dreamed
But it all came to me
I was too caught up in my vanity
I'm realizing life is better off without me
Another battle with the wind against me
I cant expect forgiveness but I'm still sorry
For this last apology
I had never dreamed
But it all came to me
I was too caught up in my vanity
I had never dreamed
But it all came to me
I was too caught up in my vanity

For Crying Out Loud

All these feelings in my head
Just too many words that I've left unsaid
I Can't believe I'm saying it
But this alone time has been some bliss
Oh how I can't help but feel
Like I need this bleeding heart to heal
I don't need you anymore
Cause you're not the one that I adore
But I know, I'll be fine
Thanks anyways and good fucking try
You wish you were mine
I saw you losing it and knew it was time
Life won't get any better
I guess your fingers were crossed when you swore on forever
Well I won't play pretend
I knew from the beginning that this was bound to end
Now to take this weight off my chest
I always knew you were far from the best
There are no feeling nothing's left
So open your ears and stop wasting my breath
Life won't get any better
I guess your fingers were crossed when you swore on forever
Well I won't play pretend
I knew from the beginning that this was bound to end
Stop screaming my name
I know that you're wrong
Please don't tell me I'm to blame
Give me a reason not to say goodbye
I'll be laughing while I see you sit and cry
For crying out loud
Life won't get any better
I guess your fingers were crossed when you swore on forever
Well I won't play pretend
I knew from the beginning that this was bound to end

Her Cold Eyes

I've been writing all night long
To give you one more stupid song
But it doesn't matter anyway now you're gone
I can't believe it's all said and done
Now there's nowhere that my heart can run,
I watched you through the window
I'm shocked at the things you've done
You lead me on, I was just a pawn, you never loved me all along
I turned you into my queen
And I made you everything
But I'm nothing in her cold eyes
I have waited so long
So I don't care what's right or wrong
And now I just want you gone
Gone far away from me, out of reality
I won't listen to a word you try to say to me
As I plan the steps on what I'll do next
I fill my mind with distractions that wage a war inside my head
I feel like this won't happen again
I can't comprehend who the hell she thinks she is
you wasted this last year and I shed my last tear
Come on down let these words pour out
Cause I know what I'm about
Look straight at me
I'll tell you when to speak
I turned you into my queen
And I made you everything
But I'm nothing in her cold eyes
I have waited so long
So I don't care what's right or wrong
And now I just want you gone
I turned you into my queen
And I made you everything
But I'm nothing in her cold eyes
I have waited so long
So I don't care what's right or wrong
And now I just want you gone
I'll dance on your grave you fucking bitch!

Home for the Weekend
03:56

Never thought I'd say this
But I miss this town and the friends I left behind
Forced to be lost but waiting to be found
Can we turn back time?
I'm coming home for the weekend
To spend some time that I'll forget
With these thoughts that
Are in my head
They're fixed with mistakes out with my friends
And I can't remember when
I was able to lay down in my bed
I know that I can't pretend
I'll stick things out until the very end
When I wanna go home
I just relax and let it in
Gotta come to grips
With all this time
That I had missed
With these thoughts that, are in my head
They're fixed with mistakes out with my friends
And I can't remember when
I was able to lay down in my bed
SHIT
With all this time
That I had missed
With these thoughts that, are in my head
They're fixed with mistakes out with my friends
And I can't remember when
I was able to lay down in my bed

Turning Points

Sitting on the edge I'm wasted again
I can't believe this hell that I am in
[I've got to rearrange my life]
To tame the beasts that are in my head at night
Well I've been trying so damn hard
But still though I try I don't get very far
I'm giving up where I thought I knew best
And it's been weighing too heavy on my broken chest
I just find it so damn crazy
How a little bit time could go and change me
I think about it everyday
Always stuck right inside my brain
Getting new perspectives on rainy days
There's no way for me to explain
Just accept the fact that you will change
Take the notes that I say and stay strange
[I've wasted, years of my life
Searching for something, I know I won't find
No hope, so why even try
My best years have already past me by]
I'm giving up where I thought I knew best
And it's been weighing too heavy on my broken chest
I just find it so damn crazy
How a little bit time could go and change me

Nostalgia

All these memories that we made
They will never leave they will never fade
These real friends that I now have
Make me regret my shallow past
Alone this would be
So damn hard
But you built me up instead of tearing me apart
Started with the dream of a few outcast who's friendship and drive will always and forever last
Cut out the ones trying to hold us back
Back to the good times, I thought they'd never end
This year has been so god sent
I give all that I have just to see this place again
All these memories that we made
They will never leave they will never fade
These real friends that I now have
Make me regret my shallow past
Alone this would be
So damn hard
But you built me up instead of tearing me apart
Everything that we've been through
Pulls together then
Comes crumbling down around me and you
We all had to give up to begin to grow, let go of who we were before
And we're the ones you now know
And I've changed more than myself
I've changed my mindset
Given everyone out
All these memories that we made
They will never leave they will never fade
These real friends that I now have
Make me regret my shallow past
Alone this would be
So damn hard
But you built me up instead of tearing me apart
And I'm not scared
