I can't wait for tomorrow
Coz I know that I’ll feel better than today
I'm bringing down the curtain on this play

I hope I wake a little wiser
Is there anything that may remain the same
Without my madness getting in the way

What a fine time to lose your mind
Just when I thought life's alright
There were sky-high warning signs
That I chose to ignore
Tell everybody outside my door
Come again, out of time
I'm too busy losing my mind

I won't be at your party
I'll be the life and soul of nowhere but my head
I'll celebrate alone in there instead

What a fine time to lose your mind
Just when I thought life's alright
And it's like myself and I
Have just started a war
And I never felt so lonely before
Come at some other town
I'm too busy losing my mind
Too busy losing my mind

And I chose to ignore
And tell everybody outside my door
Come again, out of time
I'm too busy losing my mind
Too busy losing my mind

I'm done with being sick and tired of waiting
And pleasing everyone in sight
Will anybody save me now
Or am I taking this world on alone?

It's like I’m living for the first time
And every colour seems so bright
And all the rules that I’ve been making
You keep breaking every time

Looking for the light again

You can make it happen
I'm strong enough to take the pain
You can make it happen
When nothing's wrong and nothing's right
We can work it out
And if I struggle to the end
We can make it happen
Make it happen

I'm taking aim, finding my direction
It’s like I have no choice at all
When everybody walks away and leaves me
Feels like I’m standing in the dark

Looking for the light again
You can make it happen
I'm strong enough to take the pain
You can make it happen
When nothing's wrong and nothing's right
We can work it out
And if I struggle to the end
And everything falls apart

Laughing, crying, living, dying
Got me waiting at the start
Trying to pull me through
And I’ll keep holding on
Coz you're the only one to save me

Looking for the light again
You can make it happen
I'm strong enough to take the pain
You can make it happen
When nothing's wrong and nothing's right
And we can work it out
And if I struggle to the end
We can make it happen
Make it happen

Welcome to the modern world
Where did all the dreamers go?
How did your hopes become your doubts
Caught up in the city lights
Losing every sign of life
Just chasing shadows in the crowd
'Til they all fall down
Shadows they hit the ground
사용자 삽입 이미지

I'm just living in a suitcase
Pocket full of change
Standing on the sidelines
Laughing at the game
See the wheels of your life
Turning over and over
I'm sailing in the distance
I'm blowing in the wind
You're waiting for tomorrow
To do it all again
Isn't it a burden
Isn't it a shame
Why do it over and over again?

Look over to the other path
That's the life you could have hand
But soon there'll be no going back
Don't be scared to let it go
If you don't you know you'll never know
And can you really live with that
Coz they'll all fall down
Shadows they hit the ground

I'm just living in a suitcase
Pocket full of change
Standing on the sidelines
Laughing at the game
See the wheels of your life
Turning over and over
I'm sailing in the distance
I'm blowing in the wind
You're waiting for tomorrow
To do it all again
Isn't it a burden
Isn't it a shame
Why do it over and over again?

To do it all again
Isn't it a burden?
Isn't it a shame?

Over and over again

Just living it up's okay
Over and over again

Amy walks right by the window
She won't see me, no
Doesn't even know me
Scream her name inside my mind
My love so blind
I've got to let her know
That I’m gonna dance with her someday
And tell her I love her
Why does it have to be this way
Wish I could say
Hello

Amy now its 3pm
It's time again
For you to pass my window
Maybe now it's time to show
And let her know
That I’m the one that needs her
That I’m gonna dance with her someday
And tell her I love her
Why does it have to be this way
Wish I could say
Hello

Amy now my time has come
No need to run
From what I’ve been avoiding
Give it time she'll see the sign
Just give it time and she'll be mine
I've got to let her know
That I’m gonna dance with her someday
And tell her I love her
Why does it have to be this way
Wish I could say
Hello
Hello

Wish I could say
Hello

Coz I’m gonna dance with her someday
And tell her I love her
Why does it have to be this way

I'll be trouble
You're so nice
And if I chose to listen
I wouldn't take your advice
I'm really sorry
Feeling sorry for myself again
But this isn't working
I wish I could talk to you

You think I don't care but I do
Yeah I do
When you leave me
You think I don't care but I do
Wish you knew
But I’m too scared
To tell you how I really feel
Got to do this sometime
Might as well do it now

I want you close
But give me just a little room
I'll leave the engine running
That is what I do
Putting on a front
You might like that
But will you like me when I’m real
It seems like a long way
A long way to go from here

You think I don't care but I do
Yeah I do
When you leave me
You think I don't care but I do
Wish you knew
But I’m too scared
To tell you how I really feel
Got to do this sometime
When it comes rushing out

Is it just too little to late
I messed it up
I think I messed it up
And I think I messed it up with you

You think I don't care but I do
Yeah I do
When you leave me
You think I don't care but I do
Wish you knew
But I’m too scared
To tell you how I really feel
Got to do this sometime
Might as well do it now

I never really knew you
I wasn't blind
Just mistaken
The secret glance I never saw
The velvet hand
The sharpened claw

And the raining started in my head
사용자 삽입 이미지

Was days before you left my bed
And soon my life will be declared a travesty

And it hasn't even touched you
Voices getting louder
Don't trust that bitch
She'll kill you with a flower

And I'm tired of asking why
Put my middle finger to the sky
Something easy shouldn't be so hard
But I'm crumbling apart
So tell me, what's the point?
Tell me what's the point
When everything comes undone
Baby letting go's not the hardest part

A marching band plays out a tune
The coffee's mixed with absolute
The mirrors on the wall are cracked
And rainbows always fade to black

I sit alone in darkened rooms
And all the scars are faithless blue
While you're out there in bright lights
You can't see

And it hasn't even touched you
Yeah, voices getting louder
Don't trust that bitch
She'll kill you with a flower

And I'm tired of asking why
Put my middle finger to the sky
Something easy shouldn't be so hard
But I'm crumbling apart
So tell me, what's the point?
Tell me what's the point
When everything comes undone
Baby letting go's not the hardest part

Not the hardest part
So tell me, what's the point?
Tell me what's the point
When everything comes undone
Baby letting go
Baby letting go's not the hardest part

I just wanted to have fun all the time
To not commit to anyone
But then you wander in one night
사용자 삽입 이미지

Changed the way I was
Started looking for a new beginning
Instead of feeling well my heart's not in it is it
Tried showing you the door
You showed me there was no compromise

Woke up either side of midnight
You're still lying next to me
If this feels good and it does
Then what does this mean
You stayed either side of midnight

Used to living my own way all the time
Started dying day by day inside
But deep in the heart of me
You led me to believe
That I should be looking for a girl with something
There's been to many times that I’ve been left with nothing
While I was looking for the wrong thing
Maybe I found someone right

Woke up either side of midnight
You're still lying next to me
If this feels good and it does
Then what does this mean
You stayed either side of midnight

Woke up either side of midnight
You're still lying next to me
If this feels good and it does
Then what does this mean

Woke up either side of midnight
You're still lying next to me
If this feels good and it does
Then what does this mean
Then what does this mean
What does this mean

If this feels good and it does
Then want does this mean

I'm a castaway, a jaded heart
I look at you and I just fall apart
And I could watch for hours
Entertain the thought
Of saying hello but I won't

When the day's done then we'll all go home
But I don't want to leave here on my own
Oh the days and hours
How they all bought flowers
You're unobtainable in your ivory tower

There's a lot of loneliness
Flowing through this world I guess
I'm on the dark side of the moon
Nobody looking here will assume
I have a million things to say
But you’re a million mines away
You almost noticed me today
From your side of the milky way

Tonight as I looked out
There was the universe
I swear that every star I saw
Lined up into the words
The words I have rehearsed

There's a lot of loneliness
Flowing through this world I guess
I'm on the dark side of the moon
Nobody looking here will assume
I have so many things to say
I have a million things to say
But you're a million miles away

There's a lot of loneliness
Flowing through this world I guess
I'm on the dark side of the moon
Nobody looking here will assume
I have so many things to say
But you're a million miles away
You only noticed me today
From your side of the milky way

You almost noticed me today
From your side of the milky way

I wonder if you could be my therapy
It’s kind of awkward but obvious
It’s what I need
I’m not Michelangelo painting a ceiling
But you’re the last shade of red that I’ll be missing

There’s not a pill that I can’t take
You’re just a habit that I can’t break oh

I’ll bang on this piano till the feeling’s come
I’m standing on the edge but my feet can’t jump
Stumbling the words on the back of my tongue
But I won’t stop till the feelings have gone

It’s ’bout four in the morning still can’t sleep
And that blanket wrapped around you wish that was me
But I’m just one more cynical dreamer
I never dream like this
I’m pulling out my hair
Pretending I don’t care

I don’t need to know where we’re going
I’ll just be the scream and let it out
I can feel the music flowing
I can’t feel it, never felt like this

I’ll bang on this piano till the feeling’s come
I’m standing on the edge but my feet can’t jump
Stumbling the words on the back of my tongue
