A Day To Remember

Show 'em The Ropes :
just hold your breath
to make sure you wont wake up again
cause you ruined my 04
that's the best that i could hope for
to watch you fall apart from the inside
we're gonna spread it to the world
to the world
about how you lied
how you lied

a free lesson on growing up
never trust anyone to the point
where your backs exposed
every person i've ever known was a fake
and you'll see your closest ones go first
who needs enemies you've got friends

i'm a gentleman and you're a liar
i expect the best of you but it's so hard
but it's so hard

lets start over
when we reach the top well watch you bury yourself
this wasn't easy
it wasn't easy

a free lesson on growing up
make the best of their worst
and never compromise what you feel is right
i make a point to be powerful when i speak
be the one that gives them nightmares when they sleep
never back down from anyone

i watched the weight of your world
cave in to crush you

I Heard It's The Softest Thing Ever :
tonight i'm sending you a message
this is the end of an era
the end of second chances
in the face of defeat
i'm winning
yet you still have so much left to say

oh they're coming straight for me
oh they're coming straight for me
read between the lines
we can't give in this time
just let me go for now i'll be just fine
don't ya know don't ya know
now that i'm back on my own

tell me how it feels
to watch the walls of your security crumble
i remember you
you took the easy way out when i gave you something to stand for

i was just another promise you couldn't keep

Here's To The Past :
Here's to the past

Let's all think back on what brought us here
This is my grasp on what is real
Don't tell me how I feel
With all that's passed I can't relate
With myself from day to day
why does everything seem so far away
to me

There's no turning back from here
I've got to get away from everyone who's left
Everyone who's left
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away

We've all been down this path before
You're trapped in this town
And it wears you down
When we leave today then maybe you'll understand
This constant struggle isn't always in the palm of our hand

There's no turning back from here
I've got to get away from everyone who's left
Everyone who's left
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away

This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time

I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away

A Shot In The Dark :
lets take them back to the days
when we were family
my breath was your breath when we were young
i think it's funny how the times have changed
throw being jealous in the mix
and now all i know of you is a name
couldn't have came at a better time
this ends right now

we gave all of ourselves
to entertain you
were only hurting us (ourselves)

i'm a god amongst the ants and your girlfriends
and you act like you don't even know
it's cause you haven't been here for too long
i called this right from the start
i turn my back for one second now all i hear is a shot in the dark
use my name like you know me
you're all the same

keep running your mouth

mark my words were taking over the world

The Price We Pay :
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay
Days rolled on
Shout it out loud
Days rolled on
We know the price we pay

Monument :
It's Monday morning
And I would kill for a chance to drive
Get so far away from here with you my dear
That I'll never leave your side
Nobody knows the troubles I've seen
In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see

Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them

We're getting older
I've started to fear for my life
is this the way that it should be?
this whole thing's riding on me
it's been a long road so far
with nowhere to turn
There's no looking back from here
no more dwelling on my fears

Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them

Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
[x3]

And I'll scream
so loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
'cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
let nothing stand in our way
[x2]

Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time

The Plot To Bomb The Panhandle :
I've learned to let go
Come on

Here's a middle finger
Coming straight from oca-l-a
I appreciate your judgement
it's proved that I can't trust a word you say
those must be some pair of binoculars
that you see every move I make
so I'll never be a liar
but you'll always be two-faced

You'll get what's coming to you
You're blinded by your instincts
I'm not your fucking game
I'm not so easily beat

I'm looking down at this mess that you've made
and I can't believe that I stayed
So unhappy for so long
Where did I go wrong?
I've got to get out of this
my hand is on the handle
We're leaving everything behind
Goodbye for a lifetime

I'll rip that scandalous bitch in two
We'll bring the noise

Try to pretend that I never even knew your name
'cause everything you are disgusts me
(Too bad I can't turn back time)
So I wouldn't be here
what I'd give for you to disappear
so tell me girly how's your edge?

You've got nothing better to do
I know why you can't see straight
I thought you were better than this
but you're just like everyone else

I'm looking down at this mess that you've made
and I can't believe that I stayed
So unhappy for so long
Where did I go wrong?
I've got to get out of this
my hand is on the handle
We're leaving everything behind
Goodbye for a lifetime

I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends
I'll make my stand
right here with my friends

Get low
Now I know who my friends are
I'm never coming home

The Danger In Starting A Fire :
so now you'll know exactly what it feels like
to be an obstacle in my way
you won't remain
you won't remain

save your breath don't even speak
if you'll speak of change
cause you wont
you won't
cut to the chase
spare the lecture on what it takes to make a man
cause you're weak and i'm strong

i will never falter
i'll stand my ground
you're a fake, a worthless coward
you'll life wont mean anything

lets set things straight
what's done is done
i never needed you
tell me exactly who you think that you're kidding?
everyone will be happy when they find that you're missing
you asked if we'd ever forget you
we've got our fingers crossed
our fingers crossed

that's the danger in starting a fire
you'll never know how many bridges you'll burn

Speak Of The Devil :
this is my vengeance for all the wrongs
you've formed against us
you always get me wrong
my whole existence revolves around the progress that we've made
i'll never be walked on again

i'm on the edge of the rooftop
thinking nobody will ever know
i hope that you'd want to be the one to see
the distance from the road

this is our triumph over all the forms of filth you've spread
well never let this go
right from the very start i knew this day would come
tonights the night we silence you
there's nowhere left to run

let this be your reminder
i'm everything that you wanted to be
hope for the best but it's over
and you thought you were better than me

such a pretty picture
your chalk line on the ground
i hope you die

Fast Forward To 2012 :
We welcome you to the second chapter
thanks for turning the other page
We acknowledge you as the only reason
for the progress that we've made
You're a constant reminder
we came, we saw, we conquered
Everything has come so far
From where we were before
Well keep this short and sweet so I'll
get to the point

My friends come first it's the bottom line
My friends come first it's the bottom line
My friends come first it's the bottom line
My friends come first it's the bottom line

That's the bottom line
Here's to the future, never getting older
when the tables do turn, where will you be?

Pick up your feet

Last Request :
They noticed the ways you changed
over the years,but we all stayed the same
look back through the past
but we all knew that you wouldn't last

you see yourself in the puddles left from the rain
but all we remember is your stain
just live your life, live it for yourself and be happy
So your wrong, in the ways you wanted to be
the only one who matters is you

Now watch you slip away
to the ledge you've chosen finally
you picked your role now play your part
but what you didn't know this plays a tragedy

you see yourself in the puddles left from the rain
but all we remember is your stain
just live your life, live it for yourself and be happy
So your wrong, in the ways you wanted to be
the only one who matters is you

What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from

Cause it breaks,my heart
Cause it breaks my heart
Cause it breaks my heart
Cause it breaks

just live your life, live it for yourself and be happy
So your wrong, in the ways you wanted to be
the only one who matters is

What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from
What you waiting for
I bet you didn't know where we was coming from

Why Walk On Water, When We've Got Boats :
Watch what you say on the stand. You're running in circles.
I know more than you think and your words are empty.
Of all the heavenly host's!
This will all make sense when the records gold.
What's a few more units for your soul?

You're waisting my time,
while there waisting away.
You'll never, you'll never save me.
You've dropped every line,
but they don't mean a thing.
You'll never, you'll never save me.

You live your life in the saddest way I've ever seen.
You are the reason i don't believe.
I'm not denying the worth of things unseen,
and this isn't a part of the next big thing.
I'm just dying to show them all that you are.
You are nothing.

Since U Been Gone :
[Originally By Kelly Clarkson]

Right Where You Want Me To Be :
This is the first time in a long time
That I’ve felt like coming home for the holidays.
Everybody’s rushing about
Why won’t anybody hear me out?
My money’s low
So instead I’ll write you a song everyone will know
Everyone will know
So here it goes

Can you hear me?
I write so much and it makes me sick
That is all
About you

Lets drop everything
And not come back ‘til next fall
Everyone knows that you’ve got me
Right where you want me to be.

I’m coming home for the bright lights
And the long nights
Driving around with your friends in your parents car.
We’re the ones who made it out
We’re the ones who they’ll talk about

My money’s low
So instead I’ll write you a song everyone will know
Everyone will know
So here it goes

Can you hear me?
I write so much and it makes me sick
That is all
About you

Lets drop everything
And not come back ‘til next fall
Everyone knows that you’ve got me
Right where you want me to be.

Looking back on what we’ve done this year
It was the best times
It was the worst times
But we built something here

Can you hear me?
I write so much and it makes me sick
That is all
About you

Lets drop everything
And not come back ‘til next fall
Everyone knows that you’ve got me
Right where you want me to be.

Can you hear me? (can you hear me?)
I write so much and it makes me sick
That is all
About you

Lets drop everything(lets drop everything)
And not come back ‘til next fall
Everyone knows that you’ve got me
Right where you want me to be.

Over My Head (Cable Car) :
(The Fray)

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind

Breathe Hope In Me :
I'm so afraid, I can't hold on this time
Thats why I write, to let you know
Just what goes on

'Cause this is me, and everything I've dreamed
And you know that I can't just settle for anything

Just once more can we pretend that everything is okay
And that we are all happy

Breathe hope in me
I need you
I try so hard to make this work in my life
I still believe in you

Play that faster and maybe they will move to our sound
This is the way its supposed to be
Coming together, on the dance floor will
You light the scene

Sing along
This is your favorite song
And we'll play along
'Cause you're the reason I'm alive

Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I'll pray you're looking back
By the wake

So here we, we are, again [x4]

Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I do hope you come back
By the wake

Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I'll pray you're looking back
By the wake
By the wake
Awake
By the wake

Lyrics to Breathe Hope In Me :

Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I do hope you come back
By the wake

Close your eyes
Sit back and relax, we'll be okay
Time and time again,
I'll pray you're looking back
By the wake
By the wake
Awake
By the wake

Lyrics to Heartless :
For once my eyes are open to you, and everything you've said.
For once your web of lies is in the open.
I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left.
Still you act as if I'm just a burden.
I've finally let go. Let go, let go.

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

I've been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life.
I'm damaged from the inside. I've been broken.
Don't threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind you'd be in tears.

I'm sick of your excuses you hold above me.
I've finally come to terms with what I am.
I'm nothing in your eyes, and this will not change.
I'm living in a dream.

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

And I'll close my eyes, and dream of a better time
when I'll be finally past this and I'll be happy on my own.
I've done all I can, and I've still been cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe tears from your eyes.
But I guess I'll play second best, to a world that will never care about you.
You'll never understand you're just another pretty face
You'll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him.
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away.

You never did know how to whisper.

You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You fucking liar. Tell me the truth.
Do the world a favor, stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat.

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

And I'll close my eyes, and dream of a better time
when I'll be finally past this and I'll be happy on my own.
I've done all I can, and I've still been cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe tears from your eyes.
But I guess I'll play second best, to a world that will never care about you.
You'll never understand you're just another pretty face
You'll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him.
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away.

You never did know how to whisper.

You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You fucking liar. Tell me the truth.
Do the world a favor, stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat.
