You gave me reason to re-define myself.
You told me you'd be mine, while you're with someone else.
You'd give up anything for me to change my ways
Because I'm "stuck in yesterday".
Now you're asking me if I could feel the same.
If I would change for you, there's nothing I would say.
There's one thing I left I need to know:
Do you like the person I've become?
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
This is everything I'm ever going to be,
And I know you can't stand it (whoa-oh-oh)
You tried to change my mind
Because you want to bring me down (whoa-oh)
I know.
You and your friends are like that certain group of kids
No one likes going up and down the street.
They try to bring down every single kid they meet,
Just another helpless me.
I can't express how much I hate this anymore.
The way you treat me has me crying on the floor,
But I'll just walk away and never see your face.
Swallow that bitter taste.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
This is everything I'm ever going to be,
And I know you can't stand it (whoa-oh-oh)
You tried to change my mind
Because you want to bring me down (whoa-oh)
I know.
You are everything, you're everything I don't
Want to be a part of (whoa-oh-oh)
I'll make sure that you never get the best of me (whoa-oh)
I won't.
I cannot escape this
It's something I am made of.
I cannot escape this
Can someone please explain it? (whoa-oh)
This is everything I'm ever going to be,
And I know you can't stand it (whoa-oh-oh)
You tried to change my mind
Because you want to bring me down (whoa-oh)
I know.

There's one thing to tell you:
There's another million girls like you.
And here's another story
Of the things you put me through.
I never thought I could make it this far,
But now I've learned to let my feelings show.
Couldn't imagine living life without you,
But I started living since I let you go.
You and I go way back
To a time when I thought
You were a needle in a haystack.
Everything was perfect
Like a picture on a wall
We could show the world.
The whole world around you
Doesn't revolve around the person you see
In the mirror you're staring into
Another million broken dreams.
I know you're faking it and it's not okay,
But we've grown apart.
And now you're living life broken-hearted.
Tell me what's that like.
You and I go way back
To a time when I thought
You were a needle in a haystack.
Everything was perfect
Like a picture on a wall
We could show the world.
You and I go way back
To a time when I thought
You were a needle in a haystack.
Everything was perfect
Like a picture on a wall
We could show the world.
Didn't think it mattered, did you?
That you can play around with me?
Did you think I had no feelings?
I was blinded, but now I see.
Didn't think it mattered, did you?
That you can play around with me?
Did you think I had no feelings?
I was blinded, but now I see.
Now I see.
You and I go way back
To a time when I thought
You were a needle in a haystack.
Then you started changing
And you went behind my back again;
Thought I was going crazy.
You and I go way back
To a time when I thought
You were a needle in a haystack.
Everything was perfect
Like a picture on a wall
We could show the world.

I hate the stories that you hear
About love that disappears,
I'm more addicted,
But I'm not that twisted.
And I heard a lot about girls like you
Who make boys like me
Look like a fool,
But you were different.
Another ship, another sea,
Another girl that makes me dream.
My mermaid, she's so perfect.
I'd hate to say goodbye, my dear,
But this is not the end
Of another perfect story
Because I know we'll meet again.
I hope that you remember me
As time will pass you by.
And let the whole world listen
To the song of what we had.
My mermaid, she's so perfect
I'm falling down.
I loved to stay with you and talk
'Til three or four, or five o'clock
Oh I helpless.
You made me restless.
And I miss those conversations
Those drunken, sleepless nights.
It all just seemed so perfect,
I was yours from the start.
And I loved the way you kissed me
And scratched, and pulled my hair.
They call it making love and
We did it everywhere.
Another ship, another sea,
Another girl that makes me dream.
My mermaid, she's so perfect.
I'd hate to say goodbye, my dear,
But this is not the end
Of another perfect story
Because I know we'll meet again.
I hope that you remember me
As time will pass you by
And let the whole world listen
To the song of what we had.
My mermaid, she's so perfect
I'm falling down.
My mermaid, she's so perfect.
My mermaid, she's so perfect.
I'd hate to say goodbye, my dear,
But this is not the end.
I'd hate to say goodbye, my dear,
But this is not the end
Of another perfect story
Because I know we'll meet again.
I hope that you remember me
As time passes by
And let the whole world listen
To the song of what we had.
My mermaid, she's so perfect
I'm falling, I'm falling.
My mermaid, she's so perfect
I'm falling down.

I want to move to California
So I can be with you again
‘Cause I’m not moving on
It’s beginning to look like that time of year
When the rain comes down here.
When we lose ourselves in the beat
Of the music to my ears.
Like the times you said
You’d always be right here.
But this empty apartment is nothing
Like you said it would be.
When you left,
You took a huge part of me.
I want to move to California
To be with you again
And chase the sun down all day
By the Oceanside
Because I stumbled, I tripped, I fell in love with
The girl of my dreams
And it kills me to say that
I’m not moving on.
Do you remember the laughs that we shared,
And the time that I spent holding your hand?
‘Cause every last waking moment we knew
That we didn’t want this to come to an end.
Then you went away, and I am standing still
On the corner of the bus stop
Off the street where we first met.
When you left,
You took a huge part of me
I want to move to California
To be with you again
And chase the sun down all day
By the Oceanside
Because I stumbled, I tripped, I fell in love with
The girl of my dreams
And it kills me to say that
I’m not moving on.
Take me back, take me back,
Moving forward to you.
Take me back, take me back,
Moving forward to you.
You knocked me off my feet again.
I don’t know where I stand,
But I can’t bare another minute here
Without you, girl.
I want to move to California
So I can be with you again
Again.
I want to move to California
To be with you again
And chase the sun down all day
By the Oceanside
Because I stumbled, I tripped, I fell in love with
The girl of my dreams
And it kills me to say that
I’m not moving on.
I’m not moving on.
‘Cause I’m not moving on.
No, I’m not moving on.

Hold your head up,
Hold your head up high,
You're soaring through the sky
To let your enemies know -
You are more than what they said before
Because inside you know
You have a heart of gold.
And when you find out who you really are
It won't matter what they say
'Cause you were born that way
Yes you were born that way
They're denying who you are
They're denying who you are.
Keep your friends close,
But keep your enemies closer.
You're falling further behind.
This is the art of war
It's like a chemical
That comes up from your lungs
And reaches for your throat.
I know I'm going to get over this
Even if I'm tied up
And my stomach is sick.
Because it's complicated,
And we'll scream and fight,
But that's alright.
Don't let them tell you
How you should live.
They'll push you around
And kick you when you're down.
Don't let them tell you
What to do
'Cause they don't know
What you've been through.
They don't know a thing.
Keep your friends close,
But keep your enemies closer.
You're falling further behind.
This is the art of war,
It's like a chemical
That comes up from your lungs
And reaches for your throat.
I know I'm going to get over this
Even if I'm tied up
And my stomach is sick.
Because it's complicated,
And we'll scream and fight,
But that's alright.
Art of war
Art of war
Art of war
Art of war
Keep your friends close,
But keep your enemies closer.
You're falling further behind.
Further behind.
I know I'm going to get over this
Even if I'm tied up
And my stomach is sick.
Because it's complicated,
And we'll scream and fight,
But that's alright.

I can't control myself thinking
Of the times we've had laughing away.
And I know some pieces are missing
The pressure is tearing me apart.
I can't control these thoughts
Those thoughts of you and I.
It's killing me from inside.
I've never made it by myself,
I've always had you there.
'Cause I know once I lose you
Life will seem unfair.
You know you left me all alone
It doesn't seem so true
Our hearts have been departed
It's all because of you.
I can't control myself thinking
Of the times we've had laughing away.
And I know some pieces are missing
The pressure is tearing me apart.
I've never made it by myself,
I've always had you there.
'Cause I know once I lose you
Life will seem unfair.
You know you left me all alone
It doesn't seem so true
Our hearts have been departed
It's all because of you.
Years are counted,
Not in vain.
Some things we lose,
And others we gain.
We can truly
Value the sun,
But years have passed,
And nothing has changed.

Those were the years.
When we laughed out loud,
And we talked about each other,
And you told me you were happy right here,
But now you're on your own.
And tell your friends
They can have the last bit of you,
There's nothing left for you to see here,
It's not the end of us,
Let's not throw rocks in this glass house,
Or your world will come crashing down.
I know, and I know, and I know that
It's hard to let it go now.
I know, and I know, and I know that
Four years can be too much for you.
Let's stop right here.
Why continue this war?
Let's make some sense of it all
So we can put this behind us
And get rid of it all (get rid of it all).
Let's not forget all the good times we had
And the laughs that we shared,
Those were the times of our lives.
It's so sad to watch those times go out the door
You'll miss them now, more than ever before.
I know, and I know, and I know that
It's hard to let it go now.
I know, and I know, and I know that
Four years can be too much for you.
Lights will shine
The stage for me one day, you'll see.
Believe me, every word I say here is true.
I hope your friends will guide you
Wherever you may go,
Remember you're the one who let us go.
I know, and I know, and I know that
It's hard to let it go now.
I know, and I know, and I know that
Four years can be too much for you.

Let's save the world from the people
Who like ruining dreams,
And show them the kids
Who we'll always be.
Like legends, we'll rise, together as one.
'Cause heroes don't die, and second to none.
We can have the world,
And fill the skies with our smiles.
We can have it all.
Let's raise our voices!
So sing along, sing along to my voice
Let every note flow through your bones.
Let it sink in, under your skin,
Feel the music kicking in.
Moving on, moving forward,
Let's race to the top.
Come take my hand,
Are you ready or not?
Let's keep moving forward,
And don't turn around.
'Cause I'll lift you up
When you're falling down.
We can have the world,
And fill the skies with our smiles.
We can have it all.
Let's raise our voices
So sing along, sing along to my voice
Let every note flow through your bones.
Let it sink in, under your skin,
Feel the music kicking in.
I want to hear, want to feel you scream,
From the top of your lungs
Every word that I sing. (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Sing again. (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Sing again.
Feel the noise.
So sing along, sing along to my voice
Let every note flow through your bones.
Let it sink in, under your skin,
Feel the noise.
So sing along, sing along to my voice
Let every note flow through your bones.
Let it sink in, under your skin,
Feel the music kicking in.
I want to hear, want to feel you scream,
From the top of your lungs
Every word that I sing. (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Sing again. (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Sing again.

As another day goes by
In my nine-to-five
I'm tired of being here.
It's so dull, and it's so boring.
I need excitement in my life.
You are so out of control,
But you're more than I'm willing to pay for.
And as I write this story down
In my line-to-line
I'm waiting on your sign.
So wake me up when it's all over
And I'll sing about tonight.
Hi, it's nice to meet you.
My name is not important,
You're annoying, and convinced
That I am boring.
You're not so innocent,
But two can play at that game.
I never thought that I
Would ever fall in love.
I didn't think about
The repercussions of
What happened last night was
A big mistake, my worst regret.
I need you now,
I need to start thinking about
The things I do
Before I say you have to stay,
'Cause I'll wake up and you're away.
You are so simple and plain.
But you know how to drive me insane.
Hi, it's nice to meet you.
My name is not important,
You're annoying, and convinced
That I am boring.
You're not so innocent,
But two can play at that game.
I never thought that I
Would ever fall in love.
I didn't think about
The repercussions of
What happened last night was
A big mistake, my worst regret.
Don't care for what they say,
I just can't keep away.
Don't care for what they say,
I just can't keep away.
You're not blind, but you can't see
You'll never feel for me.
I'm addicted, so obsessed with you.

Hey, I've been running away from this town,
And I've been standing here on my own,
But I won't be here forever,
Forever is much too long.
I want to be with you
In spite of everything you've done,
But if you mess up one more time,
I'll pack my things and I'll be gone.
Now the tables are turning,
I'm going to stand my ground,
But the mess up with your last strike
Will be the downfall of you now.
Hey, I've been running away from this town,
And I've been standing here on my own,
But I won't be here forever,
Forever is much too long.
I can't believe the things you said.
How did you get inside my head?
I can't believe the things you said.
How did you? How did you?
Hey, I've been running away from this town, (I've been running away)
And I've been standing here on my own,
But I won't be here forever,
Forever is much too long.
Hey, I've been running away from this town,
And I've been standing here on my own,
But I won't be here forever,
Forever is much too long.
I want to be with you
In spite of everything you've said
In spite of everything you've done
And how you got inside my head.
Now my patience is burning.
I'm going to bring you down,
And the mess up with your last strike
Will be the downfall of you now.
Hey, I've been running away from this town,
And I've been standing here on my own,
But I won't be here forever,
Forever is much too long.

Started out as something small,
No regrets between us.
Now and then I see her smile,
And I can see me with her.
It started as a hook up
In the back of my car
And then she leaned over and whispered
"Baby, I love you".
Hey, now, we've got something between us.
Hey, now, we've got something between us.
We're falling in love
For the first time in our lives.
We're falling in love
For the first time in our lives.
Don't let me forget you.
Don't let me forget you.
Started out as one thing,
But that led to another.
You know I'll never forget that,
You left a mark in my life. (In my life)
Now and then I think of (In my life)
What happened between us (In my life)
And then I start to wonder
If it can happen one last time.
Don't let me forget you.
Don't let me forget you.
(Falling in love)
We're falling in love
For the first time in our lives.
We're falling in love
For the first time in our lives.
Don't let me forget you.
Don't let me forget you.
Always, your love, brings me back,
Once again, home to you.
Always, your love, brings me back,
Once again, home to you.
Always, your love, brings me back,
Once again, home to you.
Always, your love, brings me back,
Once again, home to you.
Don't let me forget you.
Don't let me forget you, please.
