I just wish someone would care
Or put on a smile and pretend.
Because sometimes it just gets hard
To fight for myself: To defend.
I just wish somethings could change
Or maybe this whole thing could end.
I really need someone to help
Or maybe I just really need a friend.

As I float away
Into a dream I drift
Imagining life
If you didn't exist
And I wonder, I wonder
If my world would fall apart
Or if my spirit would go on
Without this broken heart

Words in different patterns
In different shapes and forms
I can't put them together
As they join in massive swarms

Letters and symbols and spaces
That bring worries and fears and doubt
How do I put them together
How do they come out?

We are nothing but a lie
You and I
Falling out of touch
We are nothing but fake
As my heart breaks
I still love you so much
So don't ever let go
I want you to know
That I love you
But we are nothing but a lie
You and I
Will never be true.

Do you ever stop to realize
That maybe you're not who you thought?
You thought you were smart; you thought you were strong
But then you see that you are not.

Do you ever stop to analyze
Everything you've ever said
The things you do, the mistakes you make
And feel you've been misled?

Do you ever stop to look in the mirror
To realize you've made mistakes
Do you ever stop to retrace your steps
And find a new path to take?

Sometimes I stop to realize
That I'm not what I thought
I thought I was smart; I thought I was strong
But trust me, I am not.

You don't know me
Don't know me at all
You think you can catch me
So you wait 'til I fall
You aren't in my brain
You don't know what's wrong
And don't try to tell me
What the hell's going on.
*Because you just don't know

You got me on the top of the world
And I don't ever want to come down
I got a smile painted on my face
You got me looking like a circus clown

I can't explain it in words
Not ones that can be spoken
You got me under a spell
And I know it can't be broken

But God, I'm begging,
Please don't ever break it
'Cause I'm thinking about losing you
And I know I couldn't take it

i’ve forgotten how to smile
as my lips curve upward there is nothing but cynicism behind them
the air that flosses through my teeth is stale and bitter
for i have turned stale and bitter
i used to be optimistic
but i’ve forgotten how to hope
my tears fall but i feel nothing but emptiness
my fingers and toes grew numb
for i have grown numb
i used to imagine a world where you and i could be together
but i’ve forgotten how to dream
in my world we were queen and king
but our empire has fallen
for i have fallen
i was so young when i fell for you
i didn’t understand i was falling
until i hit the ground
but now i’m buried in the shallow dirt
and you dance and drum on my spine
i let you break my bones
for my heart broke long ago

Build a bridge
Get over it
It's your life
Take hold of it

Nothing glitters
Nothing's gold
But it's your life
And it's yours to hold.

So polish it well
So that it will glisten
Tell your story
No matter who listens

For it's your story
It's yours to be told
'Cause it's your story
And it's yours to hold.
