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

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

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

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
