Oh Chicago
Can you illuminate the skylines?
And let all the liars come down to your core?
'Cause I'm still debating
Whether if I should be waiting
For something more
Or should I just run back to your heart?
'Cause it's three A.M. on a Monday morning
And I'm still looking for something that will never be found
That will never be found
And the truth just holds cobwebs
And dreams only come true when your dead
And these smiles just hide the frowns
'Cause I only write tragedies
That's what I do best
And these words just yell and scream
I must love to be depressed
Oh no
I'm Alright, I'm just okay
Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways
And I just got one more prayer left in me
I won't use it on my death bed
I'll die so you can stop crying
Oh, its winter
And it's as cold as where my heart would be
If it was there that would be saying the least
'Cause I'm just a poet that makes a promise
And then writes songs on how he couldn't keep it
On how he couldn't keep it
So don't you worry about me
I'm a musician, I erase my problems with a melody
and I've just tried to live in my dreams
so I don't know a damn thing about reality
Oh no
I'm Alright, I'm just okay
Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways
And I just got one more prayer left in me
I won't use it on my death bed
I'll die so you could stop crying
I stand here alone
With a beating heart in my chest
And this clock ticks and tocks to my dying breath
And I hope it finally comes my ending time
So I could finally say that I timed something right
(I'm Alright)
All I wanted was accomplishment
To show you I was different, I was something, I was better than nothing at all
(I'm just okay)
I've never seen an angel but I swear they look like you
So breath taking
God, I love you
(Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways)
Please don't mistaken me with the man with the words
'Cause you're a swan
And I'm a hummingbird
(I'm alright)
And I've been putting myself down since I was a kid
and it seems that's all I ever did
I stand here alone
With a beating heart in my chest
And this clock ticks and tocks to my dying breath
And I hope it finally comes my ending time
So I could finally say that I timed something right
(I'm Alright)
All I wanted was accomplishment
To show you I was different, I was something, I was better than nothing at all
(I'm just okay)
I've never seen an angel but I swear they look like you
So breath taking
God, I love you
(Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways)
Please don't mistaken me with the man with the words
'Cause you're a swan
And I'm a hummingbird
(I'm alright)
And I've been putting myself down since I was a kid
and it seems that's all I ever did

You may call me a dreamer
Though you know that all too well
You may call me a believer
Even though it's hard to tell
'Cause I know I'm fading
And I know I'm losing everything you loved about me
But don't let me go
I can build the pieces
Of everything I broke
Just hold it against me
I never said this would be easy
But I'll try
Oh I'll try
Yes believe me
Keep your faith in me
No one will ever understand
The feeling of losing things right in the palm of your hand
Now I know what it's like to be a man
It's when you lose your legs you still fight to stand
'Cause I know I'm fading
And I know I'm losing everything you loved about me
But don't let me go
I can build the pieces
Of everything I broke
Just hold it against me
I never said this would be easy
But I'll try
Oh I'll try
Yes believe me
Keep your faith in me
'Cause I know I'm fading
And I know I'm losing everything you loved about me
But don't let me go
I can build the pieces
Of everything I broke
But don't let me go
I can build the pieces
Of everything I broke
Just hold it against me
I never said this would be easy
But I'll try
Oh I'll try
Yes believe me
Keep your faith in me

I found the deepest corners of my mind where you used to roam
a projection plays the night when we buried the rest of our hope
Now you found somebody else while I'm looking for myself
When you kiss him do you ever think of how my lips felt?
I need some better weather 'cause all these clouds are looking like you
Something little stronger so I could cure this headache of you
And I'm trying to find my way out of our mess
I need some better weather 'cause all these clouds are looking like you
like you, like you
The clouds look like you
These days when I call I know you just let your phone ring
Your voicemail sounds happy like you're surprised to hear from me
Now I'm fogging up windows and tracing both of our names
When you hold his hands did mine ever feel the same?
I need some better weather 'cause all these clouds are looking like you
Something little stronger so I could cure this headache of you
And I'm trying to find my way out of our mess
I need some better weather 'cause all these clouds are looking like you
like you, like you
The clouds look like you
I feel to the floor on my knees
looking for answers you'd fine for me
I need some better weather 'cause all these clouds are looking like you
Something little stronger so I could cure this headache of you
And I'm trying to find my way out of our mess
I need some better weather 'cause all these clouds are looking like you
like you, like you
The clouds look like you
