Hey!
You know we're through now,
and though my self-esteem is kinda screwed now,
I can't believe I ever tried to kiss you.
I swear to God I'll never really miss you, but you'll say what they wanna hear.
I'm sure you'll tell your friends that I was never there;
That I couldn't be anything you needed.
Better days were all that I preceded.
Hey, that's fine! I'm not angry.
I know that you just wanted to escape me.
Hurts a little when I think of how we used to be.
Hurt a lot when I realized you were using me,
But that's alright 'cause you're finally out of my life,
And to think, you could've been my wife...
I left your things in a box sitting on your lawn;
Never have to deal with you again.
Made your mark,
You drew your blood.
I'll cut you down,
You know I should.
Well, I'm sorry if I was too hasty,
I shouldn't be angry.
I didn't really hate you,
But still I'm glad we went our separate ways.
We both know it's better than trying to keep this alive.
You said you wanted me to stay;
I said I'd never leave your side.
Sometimes it's hard to be alone,
And I miss you more than you could know.
You said you wanted me to stay!
I said I'd never leave your side!
You said you wanted me to stay!
I said I'd never leave your side!
You tore me apart;
You made a mess that can't be fixed!
You told me you loved me...
You're so far gone,
And I can't move on.
So when you find yourself alone,
Please just remember that my arms are your home.

Well, look at us now. We've wasted away.
We've become what we've always feared.
The words that we speak, they don't mean anything.
What once was fire: red and hot,
Turns itself cold and starts to rot.
Complications rear their heads.
Drifting away from the things we once said.
Let’s run away and seize the day.
Forget obligations, forget everything.
Burn the world down, you and I.
Never stop to wonder why
All of our dreams, they slipped away.
Please don't tell me we've fallen apart,
Cos' we're making it back to the start.
Let’s run away and seize the day.
Forget obligations, forget everything.
Burn the world down, you and I.
Never stop to wonder why;
Why we're here right now.
Let’s run away and seize the day.
Forget obligations, forget everything.
Burn the world down, you and I.
Never stop to wonder.
Why can’t we fall in love?
Why can’t we forget the past?
We can’t fall in love.
Why can’t we take it back?

It's been so long and I should be over this,
But there's something missing:
A hole inside my chest where you belong.
You filled the void.
Now you're gone; I'm empty.
We were wrong.
You always wanted more,
So you walked out the door.
Your eyes met mine one last time.
You said you'd had enough;
Said this was never love.
You broke my heart, but I'm sorry.
I threw away your notes
And found someone else to hold.
Life seemed to move along,
And then I heard that song
I wrote you when we first met.
All our problems were so far.
You said you wanted more,
So you walked out the door.
Your eyes met mine one last time.
You said you'd had enough;
Said this was never love.
You broke my heart, but I'm sorry.
I said goodbye.
I didn't even try.
I let you go.
I'm sorry.

I hate the world I see, but not as much as it hates me.
The lies I tell myself are everything I'll ever be.
Every mistake I've made has hit me back a thousand times.
I'd rather die than live another day inside my mind.
I am sick and vile;
A bitter man;
Disgusting child.
I have to play it cool,
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
This creeping feeling silently suppresses all my common sense.
I fear that there's no turning back;
What's done is done.
I can't escape these violent thoughts;
I need to run.
Alone again?
Alone again.
When you see me on the floor,
You will know that I'm no more.
I'm sorry baby, we both knew this day would come.
But I've left you all some stories,
You'll find they're rather gory.
Oh the fun I've had; too bad it had to end.
How did that turn into this?
All I did was slit my wrists.
Now I'm splitting faces,
Hiding places, all because of you.
Yeah, you.
When you see me on the floor,
You will know that I'm no more.
I'm sorry baby, we both knew this day would come.
But I've left you all some stories,
You'll find they're rather gory.
Oh the fun I've had; too bad it had to end.
Die! I want to die!
Please let me out!
