Well I had one eye on the future
And one eye on the past
But neither one was on the here and now
And I let the worst in me
Chase away all the best things
I ever had, I lost myself
And I know
I need to find my way back home
And I’ll go
If you lead me where I roam
So let’s go
For so long I was a prisoner of my own device
Couldn’t get it through my head that I was stuck believing lies
But then you came and set me free from all the confines of my mind
Now I’m breaking down these walls and leaving all of that behind
And I know
I’m never gonna be alone
And you’ve shown
Me how to never give up hope
Time ran out on me and I ran out on you
And now that we’re both out of time it’s time to start anew
And I know
I didn’t get here on my own
And this road
It may be hard but I’ll follow
You home

You spoke the words, hung up the phone, and my heart stopped beating
I felt the life leaving my eyes, God, how can this be happening?
And now that it’s all over, I almost cannot even conceive
Of the way things were before the world collapsed, and I lost everything
You never know what you have until it’s gone
You left and took a part of me
And all the hell you put me through
Paid off eventually
And all this time, it goes to show, I already had all I need
I’m better off without you
And you’re better off without me
Well you were slipping away, but I was holding fast
And it’s impossible to change the past
I just wish I knew what was going on inside your head
Regrets are pointless but they cut deep
And I can hardly find a moment of peace
I think I’ve lost it, I think I lost
You never know what you have until it’s gone
You left and took a part of me
All the hell you put me through
Paid off eventually
And all this time, it goes to show, I already had all I need
I’m better off without you
I’m better
And I know people change, and go their separate ways
But you were supposed to be the one that never did
But it’s okay, we’re better off this way
It took me a long time but I can finally forgive
I don’t think about you anymore
I’m not the man I was before
Because of you
You never know what you have until it’s gone
You left and took a part of me
All the hell you put me through
Paid off eventually
And all this time, it goes to show, I already had all I need
I’m better off without you
And you’re better off without me
You’re better off without me
I’m better off without you
And you’re better off without me

My heart is hard, it's frozen solid
From being left out in the cold
And I don't know what you've been told but
But from the bottom of this mountain
I can see where I went wrong
Should've known it all along
There's this picture in my head
Of all the plans that I have made
Tear it up, throw it away
I'm starting over once again
And I'm already on my way
I won't make the same mistakes
Because now I know what not to do
I'll take a chance and see it through
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
This is my chance to get things right
Tear out the thorn stuck in my side
I've got so much I want to do in my life
So many times we find that we
Aren't where we thought we would be
We stay the course
Go through motions of necessity
They say in life there's no guarantees
It's true in every case but one
'Cause every story's got its ups and downs
And mine has just barely begun
I'm losing confidence in myself
And all I'm aiming for
But in an instant you turn it around
I find my confidence restored
Cuz now I know what not to do
I'll take a chance and see it through
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Anxiety wants to consume
But then my biggest fear came true
I used to be afraid, but now I'm not
This is my chance to get things right
Tear out the thorn stuck in my side
I've got so much I want to do in my life
So many times we find that we
Aren't where we thought we would be
We try to find ourselves again, a new identity

Discontentment sells but I’m no longer in the market
I could write about success but I’m not trying to hit that target
And all these signals, all this noise
We all just scream into the void
It doesn’t do anyone any good
Two steps forward, two more back
Growth and progress they elude me
Fighting entropy and angst
Empty handed and concluding
That I can't do this on my own
I've no idea where to go
I'm lost inside a fog and you're the sun
And I can't seem to catch a break, catch my breath or take a moment
I try to build a better life, find some peace, but then it's stolen
And I know what it is I'm missing, but there's a barrier between
Where I am and need to go, eudaemonia and me
I'm grappling with bigger things than I ever have before
I'm making sense of your silence, no retreating anymore
Can we be troubled to leave our bubbles, to look outside ourselves?
Open your mind and you might find the fight within you quelled
And I can’t seem to catch a break
I can’t seem to catch a break
Oh I can’t seem to catch a break
I can’t seem to catch a break
I can't seem to catch a break, catch my breath or take a moment
I try to build a better life, find some peace, but then it's stolen
And I know what it is I'm missing, but there's a barrier between
Where I am and need to go, eudaimonia and me
I can't seem to catch a break, catch my breath or take a moment
I try to build a better life, find some peace, but then it's stolen

Sometimes I wonder if you were here, would the cloud over my head just disappear?
I often wish that I could sit and talk with you
‘Cause I lost more by the time I was twenty-five than most people do in a whole lifetime
I think you’d say “It’s all okay”, but I’m not you
When all my aspirations
Are always just beyond my reach
The right path and the best choice
You always helped me to see
I needed guidance
Not this silence
I can't keep dying every day
I have to wake up
From this nightmare
In which you're taken from me
My head is so full
Of negative thoughts
It’s like wading through cement
Where is the refuge
From my own mind
That you promised I would get
There was a time when we didn’t know everything
We had a home where we truly felt safe
Before the world was placed on our shoulders
And innocence all but stripped away
And I don't know if I should be angry
Or if I should just try to move on
Everything so hard to determine
With all my foundations gone
There are a million things that I wish I could change
The harsh reality is that I live in a cage
And really I only have myself to blame
But you always helped me find my way
I feel like losing you is something I don’t deserve
To be honest I never really could come to terms
And in the years since then, there’s been a lot that I’ve learned
But I still miss you every day
I needed guidance
Not this silence
I can't keep dying every day
I have to wake up
From this nightmare
In which you're taken from me
My head is so full
Of negative thoughts
It’s like wading through cement
Where is the refuge
From my own mind
That you promised I would get

I see a flaw in your plan, it's my ability
You draw a line in the sand, but I'm not your enemy
I think you're missing the point, we don't just come and go
The legacy that you leave is melting with the snow
So much for love and war
You'll never get to have it both ways
We're going under
It makes me wonder
How you took gold and turned it into lead
We're slowly sinking
What were you thinking?
Even your best laid-plans are a recipe for disaster
And we're coming to a head
What did you think would happen?
You filled the powder keg
Wanting to climb the ladder
While cutting off the legs
But I won't resign myself to
Merely assigning blame
I’ll fight forever for this
Something has got to change
You got us into this mess, we may never get out again
You tried and failed this test, far from a best attempt
Apathy isn't just wrong, it's what we're fighting against
But you've made damn sure that it's your last will and testament
We're going under
It makes me wonder
How you took gold and turned it into lead
We're slowly sinking
What were you thinking?
Even your best laid-plans are a recipe for disaster
And we're coming to a head
But we’ll get back up again

We all know
That things aren’t as they should be
But we’re so
Unwilling to change
We’ve got no
More heroes to believe in
All our hopes
Were built for yesterday
Are we all just drifting?
Banking on a miracle
The year really took its toll
Does it have to be this way?
Treading water just to save ourselves from
Drowning beneath the waves
Crashing in on us from all directions
And don’t we get a say
In all the choices that we made that led us
Right up to the place that we’re at now?
Discontent
Is all we have in common
Innocence
Depleting rapidly
Days gone by
When things were so much simpler
Those were better times
Or is it only me?
How’d it change so quickly?
The world has never felt so cold
And it feels like we were never told
That things have to be this way
We’re treading water just to save ourselves from
Drowning beneath the waves
Crashing in on us from all directions
And don’t we get a say
In all the choices that we made that led us
Right up to the place that we’re at now?
I can’t help but fight the status quo
Somehow I’m still holding on to hope
There’s gotta be a better way and
I want to let you know
It doesn’t have to be this way
Treading water just to save ourselves from
Drowning beneath the waves
Crashing in on us from all directions
And don’t we get a say
In all the choices that we made that led us
Right up to the place that we’re at now?

I always heard that life's not fair
Then I watched the script to my life tear
I felt like no one in the world cared
But you took the time and now
It’s in the rear view thankfully
The will to live returned to me
You brought me back from beyond the brink
Now I know what I’m about
And now that's the last thing on my mind
‘Cause I've got you here by my side
Nothing I've ever done before turned out so right
And all that I have is only yours
And will so be forevermore
I didn't know myself till you unlocked the door
I still struggle to keep the dark at bay
I dunno how much more I can take
I wanna stand my ground, instead I run away
But I think I’m on the mend
It’s never easy to find out who you are
I guarantee you’re gonna get some scars
But I believe it in my heart, you’ll be better in the end
But now that's the last thing on my mind
‘Cause I've got you here by my side
Nothing I've ever done before turned out so right
And all that I have is only yours
And will so be forevermore
You gave me hope and I think that's worth fighting for
It used to happen all the time
I'd just wanna let go, turn out the lights
What's the point of a war you can't hope to win?
Just misery with no end in sight
I almost gave it up, the ghost and all
But you took my heart and broke my fall
(But I’m still breathing)
But now that's the last thing on my mind
‘Cause I've got you here by my side
Nothing I've ever done before turned out so right
And all that I have is only yours
And will so be forevermore
You gave me hope and I think that's worth fighting for

I’m in my head 95% of the time
But somehow I’m still going out of my mind
You’re a mystery I doubt I’ll ever fully solve
And I've got issues, ample insecurities
I'm messed up like you wouldn't believe
But you're everything I want, exactly what I need
In your sleep you said you love me
I’ve got a lot to live up to
I knew in just under four days
That I would forever love you
You are the best thing, such a blessing, oh you have my heart
Now and forever nothing will tear us apart
And I hope that someday
You’ll look back on us and say
I was the best decision that you ever made
We've had our ups and downs but we're making it work
Don't know what I did that could ever deserve you
You’ve got me good, and I think you know it
It's been a year of nonstop calamity
I know that sometimes it got the best of me
But you're still everything I want, exactly what I need
Wedding photos on the bookshelf
Sometimes it's hard to believe
That a girl as good as you
Would choose to stick it out with me
You are the best thing, such a blessing, oh you have my heart
Now and forever nothing will tear us apart
And I hope that someday
You’ll look back on us and say
I was the best decision that you ever made
(I looked for a long time trying to find you)
(I looked for a long time trying to find you)
You are the best thing, such a blessing, oh you have my heart
Now and forever nothing will tear us apart
And I hope that someday
You’ll look back on us and say
I was the best decision that you ever made

I know, I know, I've got a long way to go
But that’s friends are for
We never seem to catch a break
Have we been here before?
The endless circle, endless hurdles
But we keep pressing on
We lose our way; time, it escapes
Before you know it, now it's gone
Swimming against the current tide
Losing no matter how hard we try
I've got no prospects in this fight
I just wanna get out of here alive
I don't have to justify my existence
I don't have to prove it constantly
That I’ve got everything all figured out
And everything going for me
Just let down your guard down for one second
You are just a human being
You’re allowed your fears and doubts
You have the right to autonomy
Last time I saw you
You looked like a car crash
How did we get here
Time it moves so fast
Now you’re a ghost town
About to get married
I think you got desperate
I think you got carried away
I hope you see one day this was a mistake
It's not your fault but it's too late
Swimming against the current tide
Losing no matter how hard we try
I've got no prospects in this fight
I just wanna get out of here alive
I don't have to justify my existence
I don't have to prove it constantly
That I’ve got everything all figured out
And everything going for me
Just let down your guard down for one second
You are just a human being
You’re allowed your fears and doubts
You have the right to autonomy

I'm always wishing that I could do more
The time I have is never quite enough
A sense of purpose, longing to be restored
I'm tired of living my life off the cuff
I’m overwhelmed on a daily basis
Can you tell me just how to erase this
Feeling of loss and desire?
I'll cast the ring to the fire
So give up the pointless struggles that we all make for ourselves
Every day is hard enough without our self-created hells
I divest from everything that isn't worthy of my time
‘Cause we never have enough of it to let it pass us by
I start to wonder if it's all worth it
Born and bred for the product line
Epidemics of disappointment
We burned out before we could shine
I'm overwhelmed on a daily basis
Can you tell me how to erase this
Knowledge that we missed our calling?
We find our own lives appalling
So give up the pointless struggles that we all make for ourselves
Every day is hard enough without our self-created hells
I divest from everything that isn't worthy of my time
Because we never have enough of it to let it pass us by
If we all just learned to see outside ourselves then things could be
So much better than they are, the place we're at is so bizarre
And I don't wanna let this go, I think that we all need to know
That we can change our situation, regain our imagination
Is this the beginning or the end?
I don't know which is better and which is worse
All that I know is that something is wrong
And all we want is something real, something ours that makes us feel
The way we did when we were kids, oh I still believe in it
So give up the pointless struggles that we all make for ourselves
Every day is hard enough without our self-created hells
I divest from everything that isn't worthy of my time
‘Cause we never have enough of it to let it pass us by
(Pass us by)
(Pass us by)
(Pass us by)
(Pass us by)
