Intro: x2
Verse 1:
Tell me girl what
were you thinking?
Hit me with something
that will make
this worth my time
Take it back take
it all back now
Every promise I made
was just another
mistake with you
Tell the truth if
you think that
you can take it
But I know, you wont
I never felt
so all alone
But when it was
safe I turned
my back and the
blade came through
Refrain:
And I can barely breathe
And I can barely breathe
And I can barely breathe
Chorus:
Stand on top of the roof top
wondering Is it good?
Yea it's good for jumping
Take back every word you
said Cause I can barely breathe
(and I can barely breathe)
Verse 2:
Tell me now can
you still taste him?
Cause you know you'll
never wash your
hands of this
Take it back take
it all back now
Every drunken kiss that
landed on his
lips from you
Make a move if you
think that you can make it
But I know, you wont
I never felt
so all alone
But when it was
safe I turned
my back and the
blade came through
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus twice)
Interlude: x4,
Bridge:
Hold your tounge
You know nothing
about this
Don't even
get involved
I hope you watch
as I'm falling down
Because you are the
reason I'd hit
the ground
You could be the
one that breaks me
You will be the one
that breaks me now
I hope you know that
every tear you cried
Is a memory left from
when you watch me die
You know i'll
haunt your dreams
With all these pieces
you stole of me
Of me
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus twice)

It's 9 o’clock and it’s
getting dark and
I can’t see the road
I flash my headlights
into the dark night
I swear we’ll make
it on our own
Refrain:
We're older than
we used to be
this town holds
no more to see
we’re fading in
we’re fading out
until I hear you say
Chorus:
Come on come on
Hey kid this is
far too important
for you to understand
She says be a man
you know this is
what we both wanted
It’s time for
us to let go
of all we’ve known
Verse 2:
It’s 1 a.m and we’re
alone again I reach
out for the sky
My mind keeps playing
all the words
you’re saying
I’m always wrong
when you are right

Verse 1:
Just one more hour
and I'll know the truth that separates
the right From all the
wrong feelings that
You have about me your
grace is distracting me
White out the memories
of each sarcastic shot you took at me
With your hurtful tones
and biting melodies
Just one more outburst
and I'm leaving you like
you left me one year ago
and I know that this
could never be an apology from you
A meaning buried
under shuttered breathing
Its taking too long for me to spit it out
Chorus:
Tell me everything will be alright
Close your eyes and dream of me tonight
Tell me that you won't just fade away
Cross my heart and hope to die
tonight I'll dream my pain away
Verse 2:
Cm(hold)
I'll let the lack of
Ab(hold)
words speak for me
the way I am I can't
express or understand
I'll take the time
now to make you see
you see
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Interlude; Cm--Bb--Ab (x2)
Bridge:
I see through your lies
they're bleeding from your eyes
Chorus 2:
Tell me everything will be alright
Close your eyes and dream of me tonight
Tell me that you won't just fade away
Cross my heart and hope to die
tonight I'll dream my pain away

Verse 1:
A(hold)
I wish that I could walk away
guilt rests in my hands

between fact or fiction
there's so much better out there

I felt the wound

Its a work of art
the way this fell apart
was the design too
faded from the start
or was the artist
just too blinded by this
no its common sense I
lack the confidence
still i'll confess all
these things to you to you
Interlude: A(hold)---B-B-B
Verse 3:
take a look at yourself
and tell me what do you see
I'd take a bullet for you
you'd put a bullet through me
and as I lay on the floor
with this hole in my chest
how will you walk from the truth
B-B-B A
with all that blood on your dress
And everything that you want
is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
but you'd have take it from me
and every word that you said
it brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend
its all fading
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)
