I'll cut deeper into you with each careful incision. I'll cut away the tissue and excess pieces of you. I've taken up medicine and I've forgotten what a full night of sleep means just to bring back what I can't, just to find out that I'm cutting at the surface.
And still I hold my head up high and tell myself I'll fix you. I close my eyes and turn my head away from what's left of you. I will not let go until I'm sure that you are… (As we breathe our lives away, we hold on to what we feel we can't replace.)
There's no excuse because this life is in my hands. Though shaking helplessly, they must cut with precision. I hear "it's useless" whispered many times inside my head. There's no excuses—I'm responsible, not them.
As we breathe our lives away, we hold on to what we feel we can't replace. As we breathe our lives away, as we breathe away.
Just breathe in one more time. I swear that I could save your life.
And still I hold my head up high and tell myself I'll fix you. I close my eyes and turn my head away from what's left of you. I will not let go until I'm sure that you are dead.
We've come too far this time to throw away our time, to have us fall to pieces. Our lives are on the line, no longer have the time, to let ourselves just waste this.
I, I think I'll run away again, I think I'll burn my time again, I think of all the wasted moments that have passed me by. I'm off to live my life this way, I'll say I'm better off someday for not deceiving myself, expecting more from life.
Gotta figure it out, gotta get back gotta get back to the way it was when we knew the sky's the limit, and we'd write our names in it some day. Gotta figure it out, gotta get back, gotta get back to the person I was: ambitious and a dreamer—driven by hopes and bigger plans.
No I'm not going out like this if I don't give life my all, I'll never know…
Still got my optimism after all and I may be a fool but I will die before I give in to the pain you suffer through when you tell yourself life's not worth living. For as long as I'm alive I'll be dying to find meaning in this life.
Now I wake up ready for a brand new day. Though my reflection looks like shit I'm still okay—alive and breathing. And I won't waste my time trying to impress anybody else. I live my life for those who live their lives for me.
"I won't say a thing without thinking. I won't live a life without meaning. Won't try less than my best," a tattoo for the backs of my eyelids says.
No I'm not going out like this if I don't give life my all, I'll never know…
I run my hands through these grains of sand on this Delaware beach where I walk with my friends and the sunrise takes my breath again. As the sun reflects on the ocean's calm waters, the world as I see it's in perfect disorder, like a melody that just didn't make sense 'til the end.
There are subtle moments when I see the truth and can stop to appreciate it. Now I don't fear the end because we'll always live in what we've created.
The memories we've made they never really fade. And though we think we change, some parts just stay the same. We try so hard to just put everything away, forgetting who we are and how we got this way.
And I'll admit right now that I took you for granted and I regret it. For what it's worth, I hope I've learned from my mistakes. For what it's worth I hope, I hope I…
Everyday I still think of you and all of the things you taught me. Remember that I believe in you and everything you were meant for. You've got so much heart inside you— don't let them take that away, don't ever forget where you came from.
Fast, like the rhythms of the songs we used to play, the seasons passed and dragged us in our separate ways. Though we live differently, we both still think the same: we make the most of life and all it brings our way.
And I'll admit right now that I took you for granted and I regret it. For what it's worth, I hope I've learned from my mistakes. For what it's worth I hope, I hope I…
When the words "growing up" feel like "growing apart," the ones that we love will have changes of heart, and the lessons we've learned we just wish we'd forget, don't give up, don't regret, your life's not over yet. Cause we've learned to believe in ourselves once again. And we've learned that we don't have to pretend. And I wish you the best because I'm still your friend. Cause I've learned to let go and I know that I can.
Everyday I still think of you and all of the things you taught me. Remember that I believe in you and everything you were meant for. You've got so much heart inside you, yea you've got so much heart inside you. You've got so much heart inside you. Don't let them take that away, don't ever forget where you came from.
