She said boy you're just the one that I need
The only one that will sacrifice for the dream
Oh Boy I saw you from across the room
Oh you got the one thing that will make me move
She said put your trust in me
I'll make your dreams a reality
Her tongue was sharp as a knife
But her talk was cheap so I bought every line
Her face lives behind a mask
Hiding all the little secrets that she has
She said put your trust in me
I'll make that dream a reality
Did you come here to watch me fall apart?
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you
I've been broken from the start
So wipe off the grin from ear to ear
'Cause baby there's only up from here
And this time
I'm not going home without a fight
She dances on my insecurities
Struts on top of everything that I believe
But my hands hang on her hips
While her hands are in my back pocket
She said put your trust in me
I'll make that dream a reality
Did you come here to watch me fall apart?
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you
I've been broken from the start
So wipe off the grin from ear to ear
'Cause baby there's only up from here
And this time
I'm not going home without a fight
You think this war has won
I haven't loaded my guns
With words for bullets that will expose you to everyone
How you're on top of the city
How you live freely
But don't you worry
I'll drag you to this hell you made me
Did you come here to watch me fall apart?
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you
I've been broken from the start
So wipe off the grin from ear to ear
'Cause baby there's only up from here
And this time
I'm not going home without a fight

The Rise And Fall Of You

If it was up to me
You wouldn't have another drink
You wouldn't be drowning in your own misery
If these walls could talk
They'd ask to not spin at all
Maybe just this once you could stand up straight and tall
You said this wouldn't happen again
Just stand on your two feet
Just keep it together
And make me believe
That you can
Stand on your two feet
Just keep it together
And make me believe
That you're not gone
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
If those loose lips would sink
Just like your dignity
Then we wouldn't mind your company
You're tongue is so tied up
You actually believe your pretty little lies
You're so hung up on your self I hope that rope is tied tight
You said this wouldn't happen again
Just stand on your two feet
Just keep it together
And make me believe
That you can
Stand on your two feet
Just keep it together
And make me believe
That you're not gone
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Do you remember who you are?
Just stay with me
Stay with me now
When a bottle comes to those lips you lose who you are
Just stay with
Stay with me now
The next time you fall I'll walk over you
Just stand on your two feet
Just keep it together
And make me believe
That you can
Stand on your two feet
Just keep it together
And make me believe
That you're not gone
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah Oh Woah Oh Woah oh

The Lost Boys

I'm not scared of monsters anymore
I'm scared of just growing old
It fills my closet to the brim
With my oldest skeletons
And creates a headstone for my imagination
I'm not growing up
I'm not growing up
I'm not growing up
Cause I wanna know what it's like
To keep my head above the clouds
Cause I wanna know what it's like
When your fear of heights won't pull me down
They say grow up you're not that young
(It's not helping, helping)
You have a million chances but you'll lose everyone (Oh!)
You gotta wake up from this dream
And face the reality
I gotta put the music behind me
I'm not growing up
I'm not growing up
I'm not growing up
Cause I wanna know what it's like
To keep my head above the clouds
Cause I wanna know what it's like
When your fear of heights won't pull me down
Maybe I'm broken but I was never built like you
Maybe I'm broken but I was never built like you
Maybe I'm broken but I was never built like you
Maybe I'm broken but
Cause I wanna know what it's like
To keep my head above the clouds
Cause I wanna know what it's like
When your fear of heights won't pull me down
Cause I wanna know what it's like
To keep my head above the clouds
Cause I wanna know what it's like
When your fear of heights won't pull me down

Letters To An Old Friend

Stay away from me
Suddenly I've become the monster that everyone warned you about
I got words as sharp as wolves teeth
They'll cut so deep they'll make you bleed
So step back, back, back before I strike all over again
I'll build you up a back bone
And the truth will stab you where it hurts the most
'Cause I don't think I'd hesitate
Over and Over again
I've let you down
I was not much of a friend
But you kept me around
I took every bullet I could for you
I did all that I could do
So if you wish I was dead
Don't forget the things that I did
Suddenly I'm not the man I said I'd be
And I can't believe that you didn't think we were family
Because I didn't ruin your life
If you wanted it more you would stand up and fight
Show us how we made a mistake
And how you wouldn't have walked away
'Cause I don't think you'd hesitate
Over and Over again
I've let you down
I was not much of a friend
But you kept me around
I took every bullet I could for you
I did all that I could do
So if you wish I was dead
Don't forget the things that I did
Over and Over again
I've let you down
I've let you down
Ohh
I still wish you the best
And I wish that you never left
But I'm over it
And I'm over you now

I stumble when I speak
I always talk before I think
And I tell stories you know you can't believe
I was there when he left
I've been there when you cried
And I'm the only one who never said goodbye
I'll Sing You To Sleep
Hoping that you find the one you need
I'll Sing You To Sleep
Hoping that you're dreaming about me
Cause someday you"ll find I was here the whole time
You could hold me true to my words
You give me faith that beats like a drum
And you hit my heart harder than anyone
I just wish that you could see
The way your smile looks to me
Cause I swear it could light up my darkest nights
Oh I can't no I can't keep coming back
To the place where I have been
For the last few years of my life
It ends tonight
If there was just one thing that I would want you to know
I would never no never let you go
I'll keep you here by my side
You'll be forever mine
You'll Sing Me To Sleep
Knowing that you found the one you need
You'll Sing Me to Sleep
Knowing that we were meant to be
