You don't know
but you'll sing me to sleep again tonight
I'll dream of something better
than what I go through in this life
I wish you knew how much you mean to me
Wish you knew you set me free

I close my eyes and dream right
wishing you were holding me tight
cause I miss your words
they made things better with every verse
but the fast-lane changed you more than I hoped
You're not the guy I used to know
so I'll just have to love you
from the other side of the radio

Saw you yesterday
in a pitiful tabloid magazine
you with some girl without a name
smiling like a child, hoping in vain
You're not just what she thinks you are
Mr. Uncommitted Superstar
But that's just who you are

Still I close my eyes and dream right
wishing you were holding me tight
cause I miss your words
they made things better with every verse
but the fast-lane changed you more than I hoped
You're not the guy I used to know
so I'll just have to love you
from the other side of the radio

Can't begin to explain
how much I wish you were here again
The old you, the one from back then
before you knew the price of fame
What I wouldn't give for that now
wish you could be back somehow

[hide]

Here, I'm still awake at 3 in the morning
Singing songs about being lonely
and I am falling apart
and it's like...

You don't know me at all
It's like you don't see I'm about to fall
About to hit the wall
I'm a teenage disaster
I'm falling faster
and it's like you don't know me at all
you don't know me at all

Oh
You see through my resolve,
chaotic and dissolved
and I keep holding on

You don't know me at all
It's like you don't see I'm about to fall
About to hit the wall
I'm a teenage disaster
I'm falling faster
and it's like you don't know me at all
you don't know me at all

and I'm falling faster now
still can't get my feet on the ground
I'm falling farther now
don't know how low I can go

[hide]

Don't you see I'm gone
Right in front of you, Vanished
My heart left traces of me hanging on
But you didn't even notice

I'm leaving empty-handed
no love lost, none to lose anyway
so I'm here stranded
I'm leaving empty-handed
Leaving home, I'm going empty-handed
Oh Woah Oh

One hand in my faded pocket
and one on my lips
Shh Shh (don't say it)
The past is dead now

I'm leaving empty-handed
no love lost, none to lose anyway
so I'm here stranded
I'm leaving empty-handed
Leaving home, I'm going empty-handed
Oh Woah Oh

We're different people
But who's the same, oh
We'll never be right
This I've always known

I'm leaving empty-handed
no love lost, none to lose anyway
so I'm here stranded
I'm leaving empty-handed
Leaving home, I'm going empty-handed
Oh Woah Oh

[hide]

I've never felt so betrayed
Never been left so alone
Hate to admit that I'm afraid
my cover's blown

I used to stand up for all I believed in
Now all I can do is wait for mercy to step in
and bring this pain to an end, oh

Here in this moment
I'm standing barenaked in the middle of a busy street
(Here in this moment)
My hands are cold and I can't feel my feet
I'm alone and frozen
Here in this moment

Oh, Didn't think my heart could be so broken
didn't think I'd end up in the thick of it
always believed you without knowing
everything you said was bullsh--

I never cried until you
and now I can't seem to stop
what have I let you turn me into
I never cried until you

Here in this moment
I'm standing barenaked in the middle of a busy street
(Here in this moment)
My hands are cold and I can't feel my feet
I'm alone and frozen
Here in this moment

I'm not gonna take it
I won't stand around
no, not any longer
I'm getting stronger
and not 'cause you lied
not 'cause I cried
but 'cause there's a part of me I've found
that used to be around
and I've been awakened
I'm not gonna take it, no

[hide]

I don't know what you want from me
but you better figure it out
I'm willing to go back to the way things were
before I knew about her

It's funny the things I said I'd never forgive
and now I want to try again
and somehow you can make me forget
all the pain I have to live with

How could you go back on promises
of truth, faith, and love
How could something so beautiful
hurt so damn much
Now you're back to being something
that I can't touch
It's kinda funny how you never made me suspect
I didn't see it coming
it was beautiful irony that took you from me

I try to see things your way
but I find it hard to believe a word you say
You want me back in my place
but I wouldn't be okay
back in your disgrace

It's crazy how much I love you
even though you've always been untrue
It's stupid how easily I come unglued
when I'm alone with you

[hide]

Life goes on sometimes
even though I don't want it to
I have to go on
with nothing to look forward to
When I wake up
just want to go back to sleep
but who am I to know
exactly what I need

Tell me, am I dreamin'?
Could have swore I saw your face
but maybe I only see what I want
and my mind is left without a trace
Can't seem to move on
you're long gone
Another girl, another place
or is it your face I keep seein'?
Tell me, Am I dreamin'?

You used to be everything
I wanted to hold on to
but now, now you're just another
I was glad to lose
Maybe I really want you
but I don't know

Tell me, am I dreamin'?
Could have swore I saw your face
but maybe I only see what I want
and my mind is left without a trace
Can't seem to move on
you're long gone
Another girl, another place
or is it your face I keep seein'?
Tell me, Am I dreamin'?

[hide]

you tear me down
keep my pieces on the ground
looking up at you
all i wanna do is pray
pray that you just walk away
and i tell myself

God'll make me stronger
get me out of this mess
keep me alive longer
cause God knows best
but who knows how it really is
how do i know the truth
what have i put my faith into

you make me cry
sometimes i just wanna die
but you won't let me
and i just wanna give up
give up, i have had enough
but i tell myself

God'll make me stronger
get me out of this mess
keep me alive longer
cause God knows best
but who knows how it really is
how do i know the truth
what have i put my faith into

i sleep waiting to dream
and i need to know, yeah

God'll make me stronger
get me out of this mess
keep me alive longer
cause God knows best
but who knows how it really is
how do i know the truth
what have i put my faith into

[hide]

I've written so many songs for you
about being broken
I laid everything out in chewable little pieces
now my soul is out in the open

But I'm going under
and I wonder

How can I expect paradise
when we both excel in hell
I'm sorry I'm sick of this life
I'm sorry that I fell
but you were like heaven
and something I could feel
thought I could finally
hold onto something real
How can I expect bliss
when I know all I'll get is this

So start dissecting my explanations
for things I've done to you
make me feel even more guilty
for telling you the truth

I'm going under
and I wonder

Ooh, oh
Everybody's saying
'you gotta look to the sky'
then you will find out why
everyone's leaning on you
and how to breaking through

[hide]

Late night, bitter fight
got me burning out from the inside
can't believe I lost my grip
and I told you I've had enough of this

Truth is, I never wanted to say goodbye
and I wish I could take it all away and you never cried
with all the silence built up between us
I wish I could be someone you could trust

So let me go
Don't come back
See if I can't handle this life without you
I'll stay up
and scream out
but you'll be in L.A. when I start to wonder
where we went wrong

Last night, feeling fine
lost all sense of all my wasted time
can't believe I let you slip away again
and now I'm all alone in this bed of sin

Truth is, I never got over you
and when you walked away
I went too
In my heart, in my head
you're still all I can't forget, oh

I wish you'd just grow up
and be the man I wish you were
but all this wishin' won't make you see
how much you still need me
oh, you still need me

So let me go
Don't come back
See if I can't handle this life without you
I'll stay up
and scream out
but you'll be in L.A. when I start to wonder
where we went wrong

Why you let me go
Didn't come back
Saw I couldn't handle this life without you
now, I stay up
and scream out
and you're in L.A. and I start to wonder
where we went wrong

[hide]

I wish you'd just get over her
now that I can't get any soberer
Sometimes I get bored
wishing you'd just cut the cord
and leave her behind

But she's what you see
when you turn out the light
she's the reason that
you still can't sleep at night
and all I can do is wait
until it's me you see
when you close your eyes
You tell me it's just a matter of time
and I hope you're right
'cause I'm not waiting
for the rest of my life

I don't want to get caught up and carried away
when I don't even want to be here today
I've lost all my faith in you
I just can't seem to tell you we're through
Buried beneath my half-hearted smile
is a heart that's been waiting a while

She's still what you see
when you turn out the light
she's the reason that
you still can't sleep at night
and all I can do is wait
until it's me you see
when you close your eyes
You tell me it's just a matter of time
and I hope you're right
'cause I'm not waiting
for the rest of my life

[hide]

her feet are cold
she doesn't know what to do
life's just a mystery
if only she had a clue
if only she knew

she had a million reasons to walk away
but she only needed one to stay
and she still wonders if love is enough
when life together gets too tough
she had a million reasons to walk away
but she only needed one to stay

her heart is set
she doesn't want to let go
she's just wondering
if only she didn't know
if only she could go

she had a million reasons to walk away
but she only needed one to stay
and she still wonders if love is enough
when life together gets too tough
she had a million reasons to walk away
but she only needed one to stay

she let her heart take her by the hand
lead her away from that man
who claims to know me
who claims to care
but he's not even there

[hide]

Hey, Mr. Misery
quit talking to me
You're all I think about
and I can't sleep

You lay your troubles on me
and it makes me feel guilty
for things I did not do
Things you know I'd never do to you

Hey, Mr. Misery
stop breaking into me
you tear my heart out
and I have to leave

You push me further away
and I truly want to stay
But you hurt me too much
I'm afraid we're losing touch

Hey, Mr. Misery
Please set me free
Let me be alone for a while
so I can keep my sanity

You lay your troubles on me
makes me feel so guilty
for things I did not do
Things you know I'd never do to you

Hey, Mr. Misery
quit talking to me
You're all I think about
and I can't sleep
