What's Left Of Me

Watch my life
Pass me by
In the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes

Yeah...

[Chorus]
Cause I want you
And I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger
Like a burning
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken
And I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be:
But you can have what's left of me

I've been dying inside
Little by little
No where to go
But going out of my mind
In endless circles
Running from my self until
You gave me a reason for standing still

[Chorus]

It's falling faster
Barely breathing
Give me something
To believe in
Tell me: It's not all in my head

Take what's left
Of this man
Make me whole
Once again

[Chorus]

I've been dying inside you see
I'm going out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
Just running in circles in my mind
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?

I Can't Hate You Anymore

An empty room can be so deafening
The silence makes you wanna scream
It drives you crazy.
I chased away the shadows of your name
And burned the picture in a frame
But it couldn't save me.

And how could we quit something we never even tried
Well you still can't tell me why.

We built it up
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you're looking for.
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore.
...I can't hate you anymore.

You're not the person that you used to be
The one I want who wanted me
And that's a shame but
There's only so many tears that you can cry.
Before it drains the light right from your eyes
And I can't go on that way.
And so I'm letting go of everything we were
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

We built it up
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you're looking for.
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore.

Sometimes you hold so tight
It slips right through your hands.
Will I ever understand?

We built it up
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you're looking for.
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore [x2]

On Your Own

You live with a halo round your head
This time you're leaving.
This place where the walls are painted red
Freedom is what you need.

But if the world should ever fall apart around you
And if you're lost and barely breathing
I will find you
And carry you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I ever known
When you're out there on your own.

Dark clouds they surround you in the sky
Rain falls when you're sleeping.
When you're past the point of no return.
I will take away the hurt.

And if the world should ever fall apart around you
And if you're lost and barely breathing
I will find you
And carry you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I ever known
When you're out there.....

And I will wait
However long it takes
Til you realize what you have been searching for
Was right here all along.
Eh...yea.....

When you lost the only light you had to guide you
And you're cold and barely breathing
I will find you.
And carry you back home
I won't forsake the only love I ever known
When you're out there on your own.

And if the world should ever fall apart around you
And if you're lost and barely breathing
I will find you
And carry you back home.
I won't forsake the only love I ever known
When you're out there on your....

When you're out there on your own

Outside Looking In

Paper houses
And fallen angels
And at time you can't see in front of you.
Wasted moments
Trying to be someone I
Never wanted to be for you.

But I feel my world coming back to life
My eyes are finally open again.
Now I see it all
It a different light
Standing on the outside
I'm finally on the outside
Looking in.

Reaching out into unknown spaces
With nothing left to blur the view.
And now I know I got to find
This picture frozen in my mind
Of a life I never knew.

But I feel my world coming back to life
My eyes are finally open again.
Now I see it all
It a different light
Standing on the outside
I'm finally on the outside.

I'm tearing out the page
Breathing for a change
And its so good.

To feel myself coming back to life
I'm finally on the outside
I'm finally on the outside.
And I feel my world coming back to life
My eyes are finally open again.
Now I see it all
It a different light
Standing on the outside
I'm finally on the outside
Looking in.

Shades Of Blue

Looks like another day
Slipping through my window shade.
Chasing the dark away
Seeking into my room again.
Are you a sad and lonely thing
Come to steal my piece of mind.
The only peace I find
Is pretending you're that still laying next to me.

So why why why
The suns gotta shineshine.
Why don't it just stay away?
Why do dreams have to fade
Into all these shades of blue
Where I wait for you.
Pray love reaches through
All these shades shades of blue.
Where you close your eyes
Feel me by your side.
I will wait for you
In all these shades of blue.

Thinking back on my mistakes
I can't undo all the days that I misused.
I thought you that ya always stay.
Its hard to face the simple truth
That time brings no relief
And time is all you need you said
Had to go clear out your head.
While you're trying to decide if you'll come back to me.

Why why why
Do we have to cry cry cry?
Tell me why this has to be
Why don't you give into me?
Baby...all these shades of blue
Where I wait for you.

Pray love reaches through
All these shades shades of blue.
Where you close your eyes
Feel me by your side.
I will wait for you
In all these shades of blue........

Why did you have to leave?
Why did you have to set me free?
Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to leave?
Why did you have to set me free?
Why did you have to go?

Baby...all these shades of blue
Where I wait for you.
Pray love reaches through
All these shades shades of blue.
Where you close your eyes
Feel me by your side.
I will wait for you
In all these shades of blue........

Here in all these shades of blue.

Beautiful

I see
Looking for yourself tonight.
And I know
Gonna sell your soul under the lights.
And I hear
The emptiness that echoes in your cries.
Someday
I'll pray that you finally realize.

You're beautiful
That's all that I can say.
Unforgettable
I'm caught in every way.
Don't every let the mirror tell you lies
Just look at your reflection through my eyes.
You're beautiful.

It seems
You always keep one foot outside the door.
So sad
You gotta all but still you long for more.
And you cry
So desperate for your place among the stars.
But why
Just searching for what you already are.

You're beautiful
That's all that I can say.
Unforgettable
I'm caught in every way.
Don't every let the mirror tell you lies
Just look at your reflection through my eyes.
You're beautiful.

Feeling your stars are drafted away from me
Back to the empty place you used to be.
How do I get to you
To you.......
That's all that I can say

Everywhere But Here

Here is the place we used to go
We were laughing.
Hand in hand walking down the road
We were happy.
Here is the corner where said
Kiss me stupid
I remember you in red.

We were something good
We were something yea....
Weren't we something...

You're in my head
You're under my skin.
You're everywhere
But here but here
Its a mystery
How you can be
Everywhere but....

Here's the diner where we meet
On your lunch break.
Corner table
Just you and me
On a Monday.
In the rain
We ran and ran
To your apartment.
You called in sick to work again.

We were something good
We were something yea....
Would some be...

You're in my head
You're under my skin.
You're everywhere
But here but here
Its a mystery
How you can be
Everywhere but here...
You're everywhere but here..
You everywhere but here..
You everywhere but here.

We were something good
We were something yea....
Would some be..

You're in my head
You're under my skin.
You're everywhere
But here but here
Its a mystery
How you can be
Everywhere but here...

I Do It For You

Your pretty face is not enough
Behind your eyes
I know you're lying.
You think that love is all a bluff
You flash your smile
And keep denying me
I want you to see
I need something more
Than you gave me for.

I want you to burn.
I want you to steal.
I want you to bleed
And see how it feels.

I want you to beg
I want you to crawl.
Give more than you take
And smile through it all.
And know that everything you do
I do it for you.
.....I do it for you.

I see your heart is broken
And your tears are real.
No word unspoken
Say what you feel.
The way you keep pretending
Its such a crime.
You gotta give me whats mine.

I want you to burn.
I want you to steal.
I want you to bleed
And see how it feels.

I want you to beg
I want you to crawl.
Give more than you take
And smile through it all.
And know that everything you do
I do it for you.

Your pretty face is not enough
Behind your eyes
I know you're lying.

I want you to burn.
I want you to steal.
I want you to bleed
And see how it feels.

I want you to beg
I want you to crawl.
Give more than you take
And smile through it all.
And know that everything you do
I do it for you.

Run To Me

Over your head
Trying not to drown.
Reaching for a breath
Before it drags you down.
Caught in between
All the pain you feel
You lost control
You're letting go
But I never will.

I'm holding on for you
I'm fighting for your life.
And when you're blinded by this jaded world
I'll be your eyes.
Even if you fall
I won't let you break.
When all the noise is telling you
To run away
Run to me.

Day after day
After all you seen
Its alright if you feel like unraveling.
I'll be right here.
I'm pushing out the walls
To find the place
Where you can say
Brave through it all.

I'm holding on for you
I'm fighting for your life.
And when you're blinded by this jaded world
I'll be your eyes.
Even if you fall
I won't let you break.
When all the noise is telling you
To run away
Run to me.

When I was lost
Hanging on by a thread.
I knew I could run to you
To find myself again.

I'm holding on for you
I'm fighting for your life.
And when you're blinded by this jaded world
I'll be your eyes.
And even when you fall
I won't let you break.
When all the noise is telling you
To run away
Run to me.
(Baby run to me)

Ghosts

You think
To look at all the angles.
As the quiet workings of a broken man.
The time is burning like a candle
And it makes you think of how it all began.
Well step inside your skin
And walk around.
And from the other side
I see it now.

Well somewhere in the night
They are a pair of lovers
Looking to see the ghosts of what we used to be.
And somewhere in the night
Back in another time.
I'll smile as I rescue moments from my memory.
And somewhere in my mind.
...in my mind...

So why
Picking up the pieces
And I'm trying not to cut my eager hands.
Its strange
Its not even sadness
To accept the things that you cannot understand.
I don't remember all that you said
A million corners in one tiny head.

Well somewhere in the night
They are a pair of lovers
Looking to see the ghosts of what we used to be.
And somewhere in the night
Back in another time.
I'll smile as I rescue moments from my memory.

It is easy to have fallen into a world
That it is smaller than every time everytime.
I will leave it to exist somehow
Like a restless man whose learn to die.
Soul in rhyme a soul in rhyme.

Well somewhere in the night
They are a pair of lovers
Looking to see the ghosts of what we used to be.
And somewhere in the night
Back in another time.
I'll smile as I rescue moments from my memory.
And somewhere in my mind.
...in my mind...

You're Not Alone

Are you there?
Are you gone?
Do you care?
Is anybody home?
Cause somethings lost
In your eyes.
Are you blind?
You're caught up in the lies.

Who you gonna when their coming after you?...yeah
Where you gonna crawl when your fantasy is through?

Tell me
Do you really know me?
Do you really see me?
When you forget
You're fighting on your own.
You are not alone.
When your sky is falling
When your pain is calling
Don't forget
I will take you home
You are not alone.

When you crash
When you burn.
Are you scared?
Will you ever learn?
Cause there's a price
That you pay.
You'll realize tomorrows another day.

Who you gonna when their coming after you?...yeah
Where you gonna crawl when your fantasy is through?

Baby
Do you really know me?
Do you really see me?
When you forget
You're not fighting on your own.
You are not alone.
When your sky is falling
When your pain is calling
Don't forget
I will take you home
You are not alone.
You're not fighting on your own.

On the day the darkness comes
I'll find you
Save you
Baby.

Tell me
Do you really know me?
Do you really see me?
When you forget
You're not fighting on your own.
You are not alone.
When your sky is falling
When your pain is calling
Don't forget
I will take you home
You are not alone.
You're not fighting on your own

Resolution

Nothing but an empty page
Breathing in an open space
Captured by your moment's grace again
There's so much I left behind
Even more that waits in time
Everything's so undefined
I'm standing on the edge of my fear
And I see it clear

Here's my resolution
I'm letting go
All I need to learn is along this road
And I just want to be the best man I can be
Breathe it's my resolution

Living life without a plan
Finding solace where I stand
And learning how to love again
And all I want is something real
That I can feel

Here's my resolution
I'm letting go
All I need to learn is along this road
And I just wanna be the best man I can be

'Cause here's my resolution
I'm letting go
All I need to learn is along this road
And I just wanna be the best man I can be
Breathe it's my resolution

My resolution
(Ooh oh oh)
