How do I live
Without regretting mistakes
And having nothing to give
What is there out there
That I haven't seen
Beyond temptation, confusion, and dream
How do I take it
How can I be
More than so empty
More than just me
Not so helpless
Not so insecure
Knowing my life
Will be better for sure
When will we all be better?!
When will it all
Come to an end?!
Is there a rest
From all the tests
That life makes up
To make us miserable at best?!
Can anyone
Do more than pretend?!
How do I take it
How can I be
More than so empty
More than just me
Not so helpless
Not so insecure
Knowing my life
Will be better for sure
How do we take it
How can we be
More than so empty
More than just you,
More than just me
Not so helpless
Not so insecure
Knowing our lives
Will be better for sure
Who doesn't want
To just feel better
Forever never
Keeps us together
Whether we ever
Get to feel pleasure
The measure of us
Is to learn how to trust
How do I take it
How can I be
More than so empty
More than just me
Not so helpless
Not so insecure
Knowing my life
Will be better for sure
Will be better for sure
Maybe more pure
Let’s Be Friends
You say you
Want us to be friends
But if I see you
With someone else
I know I'll be
Losin it
Once you've loved someone
Only bein halfway in their life
Is like takin Heaven away from them
To put them into Hell
And you know that ain't right
So when you stay up at night
Wonderin why I don't call you
Stop and think about why
Because I can't be your friend
When you see the stars so bright
Know that somewhere out there
There's somebody else missin you tonight
Feelin you treated him unfair
And he didn't want it to end
When you wish he didn't walk away
Remember that he did that
Because you had to say
Let's be friends
I used to think
That you and me
Were gonna be
All we said we'd be
That you would never ever leave
But you probably say
It was me
All I did
Was give you a way to back out
Because I knew all your feelings changed
You said you had lots of doubts
And all of a sudden, it felt so strange
Like we didn't know each other at all
And to make you stay
Would make you fall
Apart so bad
It would be the end
But I couldn't take those words
Let's be friends
When you see the stars so bright
Know that somewhere out there
There's somebody else missin you tonight
Feelin you treated him unfair
And he didn't want it to end
When you wish he didn't walk away
Remember that he did that
Because you had to say
Let's be friends
If you have trouble stayin warm
Know you gave up
Two lovin arms
You'd be held so tight
You couldn't breathe
Because no matter what you believe
That is what you mean to me
I thought you really were
The girl of my dreams
Everything I could ever need
But when you had problems
You turned and ran
Thinkin maybe I wasn't the man
That you had thought
God would send
Though you said it so many times
But then you said
Let's be friends
When you see the stars so bright
Know that somewhere out there
There's somebody else missin you tonight
Feelin you treated him unfair
And he didn't want it to end
When you wish he didn't walk away
Remember that he did that
Because you had to say
Let's be friends
If you get lonely tongiht
Know I'm alone
But if I could, I might
Forget what went wrong
And take you back
All you'd have to do
Is simply ask
When you see the stars so bright
Know that somewhere out there
There's somebody else missin you tonight
Feelin you treated him unfair
And he didn't want it to end
When you wish he didn't walk away
Remember that he did that
Because you had to say
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
When you see the stars so bright
Know that somewhere out there
There's somebody else missin you tonight
Feelin you treated him unfair
And he didn't want it to end
When you wish he didn't walk away
Remember that he did that
Because you had to say
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
I have friends enough
All I really wanted
Was to be loved
The Moment Was Here
If I...
Could touch your face
I'd try
To give you everything
You ever wanted from me
But now
I know...
I can't see you again
You took all I had
And left me torn apart
And all I can do is waste
Away from all I've been
Rot away inside
And hide the tears I almost cried
When I...
Realized...
The moment was here
That you were almost gone again
All I could do is let you go
Give into fear
And try not to pull you in
So...
You left
You left me with a broken heart
And nothing left
So I die...
Each day a little more
Until I'm just forgotten
And festered, blistered flesh
Then I catch
Myself with a thought of you
And I don't know what I should do
Should I be mad
Or should I just hurt
Should I feel anything at all
Should I wish for you to feel w
orse
I want so bad to feel angry
I want so much to feel somethin more
Than just tossed aside
Like I was before
I want to feel betrayed and pissed
But I can't, I know cuz I tried
Emptiness surrounds me
Shattered, living with the shadow
Of what I thought I meant to you
And I can't escape the pain
I know I have too much that I can't contain
Weighing me down, tearing me down
Til I go insane
When I...
Realized...
The moment was here
That you were almost gone again
All I could do is let you go
Give into fear
And try not to pull you in
So...
You left
You left me with a broken heart
And nothing left
So I die...
Each day a little more
Until I'm just forgotten
And festered, blistered flesh
I know you have your life to live
And it's not with me
It's with someone who can give
The kind of pain that you caused me
And make you wish
He'd let you be
The person you know you really are
Accept you for you
So you don't fall apart
When I...
Realized...
The moment was here
That you were almost gone again
All I could do is let you go
Give into fear
And try not to pull you in
So...
You left
You left me with a broken heart
And nothing left
So I die...
Each day a little more
Until I'm just forgotten
And festered, blistered flesh
If you don't miss me yet
It's ok, but I wish I'd forget
What you promised you would be for me
Everything I could ever need
But you're selfish and sheltered from reality
You can't trust or be all to me
So when you ask if I'll take you back
I'll hesitate and wait for it to feel real again
So I know you'll really let me in
When I...
Realized...
The moment was here
That you were almost gone again
All I could do is let you go
Give into fear
And try not to pull you in
So...
You left
You left me with a broken heart
And nothing left
So I die...
Each day a little more
Until I'm just forgotten
And festered, blistered flesh
And I still feel I have nothing left!
I struggle to find the strength for one more breath!
There’s Nobody Who Could Love You Better
You said it was over
Now time is goin slow
I can handle... bein alone
But I still have to know
Why do you play the games you play
Tellin me you have to make up your mind
When you know
There's nobody who could love you better
That you will ever find
You said you loved me
Then took it away
Sayin one thing once
And somethin different the next day
I can't understand it
I can't make it make sense
If you don't know what you want
Then stop pullin me back in
Oh, Why do you play the games you play
Tellin me you have to make up your mind
When you know
There's nobody who could love you better
That you will ever find
He won't love you
Like I did
He won't treat you like his queen
He'll only see you as a kid
If things were different
And you saw me that way
Lettin me mean to you
What you mean to me each day
It might work out
It might be right
But I know I didn't do wrong
And I know I have that peace tonight
Oh, Why do you play the games you play
Tellin me you have to make up your mind
When you know
There's nobody who could love you better
That you will ever find
But when you're ready
To come back to me
I doubt I'll be waitin
And I doubt you'll really see
That everything I told you was never a lie
And all the things I did for you
I don't have to wonder why
Oh, Why do you play the games you play
Tellin me you have to make up your mind
When you know
There's nobody who could love you better
That you will ever find
Nobody will ever treat you like
I tried to
So when I find somebody else
Don't think it's gonna be you
Oh, Why do you play the games you play
Tellin me you have to make up your mind
When you know
There's nobody who could love you better
That you will ever find
I Hate What My Life Has Been
I close my eyes
I say goodbye
I almost pray for death
I don't know why
Should I cry
I know I have no feeling left
An empty life
So full of strife
Yet afraid to die
I want to believe
The pain will leave
I will feel peace again
I can't help but grieve
Get no relief
And know that I can't win
I might be alright
If I sleep tonight
But I hate what my life has been
Forgotten words
They still hurt
When I remember them
I feel cursed
But it's worse
When I let someone in
Only to go
Because they know
Being my friend
Has a toll
So heavy
Because my soul
Is weighed down with sin
I want to believe
The pain will leave
I will feel peace again
I can't help but grieve
Get no relief
And know that I can't win
I might be alright
If I sleep tonight
But I hate what my life has been
I hate what my life has been
A lot of loss
Unfair costs
That I still have to pay
So much remorse
But of course,
I can't say
I've had it so bad
That all I've had
Is bitter days
But it seems
That all my dreams
Have faded away
I can't be still
I can't feel
Any payment's made
I'm alone
With no home
So now my home is the grave
I want to b
elieve
The pain will leave
I will feel peace again
I can't help but grieve
Get no relief
And know that I can't win
I might be alright
If I sleep tonight
But I hate what my life has been
I want to believe
The pain will leave
I will feel peace again
I can't help but grieve
Get no relief
And know that I can't win
I might be alright
If I sleep tonight
But I hate what my life has been
I hate
That it's too late
To be whole again
I hate, yes, I hate
I hate what my life has been
Can I Take It All on My Own
I thought I could do this
Do it without any pain
Be your friend
But it's just not the same
It's so miserable like this alone
Every time I see your picture
I slowly go insane
And it's all I have known
Can I take it all on my own
I know one day
I just may
Find somebody new
But I know it...
It won't be the way
I wanted
And I'll still be empty
Ending all I thought I would have
I heard everything you told me
So many times all before
Now, I feel like I'm livin stoned
Can I take it all on my own
It's pointless
It's nothing
Thinkin of you the way that I do
I know it's over
But I didn't see it
I allowed it because
I knew it was the best thing for you
Any chance I had with you
I have blown
Can I take it all on my own
Life's not always about what makes you happy
It's not always about what
Makes any sense
Sometimes, it's about just gettin by
And I know any good days I've already spent
What am I doin
When will it all be good again
What can make it all feel right
What can make me forget
Everything that we knew back then
This place I live in
It could never feel like a home
Can I take it all on my own
Can I take it all on my own
Bein lonesome, bein completely alone
Can I do it one more day
Can I take it all on my own
I Had to Do This for You
Don't think
I don't care
Like I did before
I still do
About you
More than I can ignore
That's not what
This is
It's just me leavin you alone
So you can be
Finally happy
Find somebody to give you the life
That you've never known
The obstacles between us
Are unfair
But they are what they are
You're everything I wanted
And I still do
But there is a distance that's just too far
So don't worry
But please don't hate me
I had to do this for you
When I wake up
I think I'm dreaming
Because the girl of my dreams
Is there before my eyes
An illusion
So much confusion
It takes all I have not to cry
But then I can't help it
And I'm blinded
By millions of tears
I don't wanna shed
If you think about it
The best thing
I can do for you
Is to leave so you can forget
The obstacles between us
Are unfair
But they are what they are
You're everything I wanted
And I still do
But there is a distance that's just too far
So don't worry
But please don't hate me
I had to do this for you
