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
