Before we knew it All the time flew by and The days turned into months Forcing us to forget The simple things like How to keep in touch How to tell someone you still care To put aside a grudge Takes a lot of guts How am I supposed to feel? When I’m numb and I’m empty inside Believe me I tried to change Yeah I tried, and I tried, and I tried I try to, Break the bad habit Of me holding a grudge But every time I try to compromise It’s never enough You wanted me to feel defeated With my face in the mud The fact that brings you satisfaction Just seems kind of messed up I think it’s sad You think you did nothing wrong To try to prove a point You went above and beyond And now you hold a grudge But tell me what was the cost? A moral victory gained For a friendship lost Got to be strong Got to move on Can we forgive and forget? Can we shut up just long enough to settle differences? Can we take the time To hear each other out? Can we take the time? Can we take the time? And if you feel alone Well then you probably are All the grudges that you hold They start to pull you apart So burn another bridge That won’t get you very far You will dig an early grave Keeping all the hate in your heart

All of those words you said I can’t let them get to me You lack the proper credentials To Prove you know Anything That You Speak of (I May Pretend that I am tough) Still all those words that you’ve said Seem to get into my head; such a shame You think you know everything Annoying like a backseat driver On a long ride home Which feels just like How hard you try To bring me down And take my pride And I just Can’t Seem to let this Slide Can’t let you smile in my face And pretend everything’s alright Would it help you sleep at night If I admitted that you hurt my pride Doesn’t matter what I say Cause you think you know everything My hard work and sacrifice For the art that consumes most my time Tell me, what gives you the right? I wonder how you sleep at night Here we go again All the clubs and the bars That I see you at Yeah you smile and you wave And you just pretend That at some point You were my friends But I just can’t Some people think they know everything There’s nothing like a backseat driver On a long ride home

Someday, after wishing away You’ll have everything That you wanted Yet you will still complain About how it all came and Question the person Who brought it Every time I hear you talk, You’re not even complaining For a cause And somehow everything Becomes everyone else’s fault And the reason for it all Is the fact that You’re unhappy with what you have And you may not reach all Your goals and expectations But that doesn’t make who you are There are plenty of things Put under examination Don’t get caught up in reaching for the stars Every time I hear you speak I see a little of yourself inside of me When did I begin to change? I used to only want the simple things But that’s not enough anymore And sometimes it’s tough to see Everything clearly when you look at Yourself from afar But you’ve been so wrapped up Into proving yourself You can’t be comfortable with who you are Yet you’re reaching for the stars

What would you think If it were you that’s alone? Would you feel the same? I’ll never know Would you take things back? How would you react? I feel like you have Someone lined up after me Look in my eyes and Tell me this isn’t happening Is it karma? Is this how it has to be? And one simple request Is all that I’ll ask You told me how I make you feel Take it back Is this how it’s gunna be? How it has to be? All you wanted from me Was my company Reminiscing in my dreams I get goose bumps Take it back, take it back All of the love I’ll never have Lie to me and say You’re coming right back What would you think If it were you that’s alone? Would you feel the same? I’ll never know How did you think you think I would react? Take it back, take it back Take it back, take it back I really wanted you I just was scared To leave my heart exposed But I could have changed And you should have known And these are the things That cross your mind when You are all alone

Take it back, take it back

I dunno if he's gunna stay faithful I dunno if he's gunna stay true to you (I) Wanna tell you but I don't know if I'm able Wrote a song just to help it get through to you Had a nightmare you were all by yourself and I fear this dream will come to life How can a victim of a world so cold make someone feel so cold inside? Her fragile heart has just been crushed into pieces Her expectations have been crushed into pieces Even If we slow down, slow down Way to deep in this to stop now, stop now and I think my head is stuck in the clouds How could I turn myself against me? Show me some spine You told me everything was fine We both know that's a lie Her fragile heart has just been crushed into pieces Her expectations have been crushed into pieces He lied with every line You ate it every time ..and now you smile at me like everythings fine I dunno if he's gunna stay faithful I dunno if he's gunna stay true to you (I) Wanna tell you but I don't know if I'm able I wrote a song just to help it get through to you and now her heart has just been crushed into pieces Her expectations have been crushed into pieces

All of my secrets Slowly tear you apart And I feel trapped with the guilt Inside this house of cards I’ve built It’s all bound to collapse On top of me and Anyone surrounding I recommend that you get out (While you still can) I know I hit you where it hurts But now you have the upper hand So just give me what I deserve I’ve never seen you so sad When you look at me You’ve never looked at me that way before The moisture in your eyes From the tears you try to fight I know that you know You know something more Now I’m lashing out ‘Cause I know you know something more A beast will flash you its teeth When it is backed into a corner You say that you’re leaving But I cannot complain ‘Cause it hurts to see you cry Tears running down your freckled face When I said I’d let you in You walked right through the door Proceeded to the window Letting everything air out Forcing me to realize what I really care about Will all the secrets that I hide Keep us from working out? I know I screwed up and I’m sorry I’ve never seen you so sad When you look at me You’ve never looked at me that way before The moisture in your eyes From the tears you try to fight I know that you know You know something more Don’t try to hide it You know something more

What would you say? If I were to tell you That I cannot stay All my mistakes Have become hard to cope with and I’m not okay There are plenty of things If I had my way I would go back and change Can’t seem to retain My will to live and it’s such a shame They say it’s a privilege to live on the earth When everyone dies and leaves someone else hurt If you haven’t found purpose Feel free to search

For the first time in my life I realize that good friends Are hard to find I guess it’s safe to say That I appreciate Anyone not going out of their way To throw slander at my name Look how easy you go Turning your back on me Look how easy you go Turning your back Should I retaliate? Just go and treat you the same way? Like the time you Turned your back on me It can get hard waking up Knowing that I carry weight All from a past reputation And I feel forced to be great Tell me was I just a trophy For you to place on a shelf Go tell people that you know me Though you don’t know me well Were we overdue for going our separate ways? I hope your new friends are there When you’re feeling out of place And are you content taking regret to your grave? I could never compete with all the acceptance that you crave You’ll make your mind up before I could have a chance to react And once you turn your back on me, there’s no turning back
