In Front Of You
Well here we go again and
Still going nowhere fast.
What is it that you think I lack?
Still running ‘round in circles
Still on the same old path
(I thought) you said you were never looking back?
‘Cause you’re always looking for something more
when all you need is right in front of you
but it’s never enough, it’s never enough
all that I do now just to get to you
Everything you’ve ever wanted is going nowhere ‘cause it’s never quite enough.
Whatever path you choose to take, I hope you know is a mistake
And I know that I’m not wrong. And I hope that I’m not wrong.
I’ve said this all before now
So, this isn’t nothing new
(I) can’t get a reaction out of you.
The only thing that’s worse then
The words that you would say
Are all the words that you DON’T say.
‘Cause you’re always looking for something more
when all you need is right in front of you
but it’s never enough, it’s never enough
all that I do now just to get to you
Everything you’ve ever wanted is still going nowhere
‘cause it’s never quite enough.
Whatever path you choose to take, I hope you know is a mistake
And I know that you’re so wrong. And I hope that you’re so wrong.

Meant To Be
I’m no longer naïve. I’m not sleeping anymore.
Despite the words you thought I’d never get over
You’re always searching for something more that
I’m obviously not. I was never what you’d want
Everything was ok, until the moment that you opened up your mouth
Everything was ok, until the moment that you spoke sarcastic lies
Maybe this is how it was meant to be?
Let me ask you something and then I’ll walk away
How can you pull off your tact’s with such grace?
There is nothing more that I can do now
To try & plead my case or for me to set things straight
Everything was ok, until the moment that you opened up your mouth
Everything was ok, until the moment that you spoke sarcastic lies
Maybe this is how it was meant to be?
There’s no need to thank me.
(There’s) No need to patronize.
I know exactly how this turned out for you.
(There’s) No need to further imply
(That) I should be happy for you.
When you used me to get everything you wanted.
Everything was ok, until the moment that you opened up your mouth
Everything was ok, until the moment that you spoke sarcastic lies
Maybe this is how it was meant to be?
Why not?
(it’s) not enough. (it’s) not enough. Everything to you is not good enough.

When all else fails, as it tends to
I’ll just wait with patience. I’ll just wait patiently.
I can’t help, but to feel so sad
With all I’ve ever done now. What have I ever done?
It seems like nothing much
But I’m still standing stuck here. I haven’t gone far.
If you knew this was your last chance
What would you do different? What can I do that’s different?
Now, I’m not wrong. I am not wrong.
Let’s get this right. Just once in this life.
I’m not wrong, (x 3)
A long time from now when
We’re all doing something else.
Feel free to call me, and say hello
‘cause (all) the things we’ve done have defined us.
I can’t help but live in the past.
And there’s nothing left to say, I fear there’s nothing left to say.
It’s been so long since I
Felt anything but this, Before I ever felt content.
For all I could have said.
I could have said this better. I know inside I’m better.
One last chance, is all I ask
To make it all work out now. To try to prove that I’m not
wrong, Right now. I am not wrong.
Let’s get this right. Just once in this life.
I’m not wrong, (x 3)
Let’s get it right, just once, in this life.
A long time from now when
We’re all doing something else.
Feel free to call me, and say hello
‘cause (all) the things we’ve done have defined us.
Just look at all the time gone. Look at all the time we’ve lost.
I can’t believe all the things we’ve done.
Right now is the time.
I drove down memory lane
And there’s nothing left to say. I feel there’s nothing left to say.
Other then, I’m so glad
Because I feel vindicated. That I was always there. I feel I’ve always been
Somewhere. Else.
It take so long to feel comfortable with who
It is you are. It’s time to celebrate. It’s time to celebrate.
Now, just who you’ve always been.
And look to all you can be.
Because this is far from the end.
It’s the time, to begin again.
Just look at all the time gone. Look at all the time we’ve lost.
I can’t believe all the things we’ve done.
Right now is the time.
A long time from now when
We’re all doing something else.
Feel free to call me, and say hello
‘cause (all) the things we’ve done have defined us.
Here we go…
It’s time to reminisce. It’s time to remember this.

Last Words:
For every word that I tried to say
For every emotion I tried to convey
Did I get far? Or did I just fail?
I’ve grown so tired of walking this road
This path stretched farther then I could have known
Maybe I can burn and just fade away.
Because I tried my best and still I feel I failed this test.
This test of will. This test of faith. Where is my faith?
I gave it my best shot and I feel it just wasn’t enough
So I’ll fade away. No one will know. No one will know.
Just let me get in these last words.
If these are the last words you hear me say
Just think of me kindly and where we’ve been
I can’t believe. I can’t believe.
It’s just not fair when you hear what’s out there
The hearts and souls of those just don’t compare
To all my friends. (Who) Follow thru to the end.
Because I tried my best and still I feel I failed this test.
This test of will. This test of faith. Where is my faith?
I gave it my best shot and I feel it just wasn’t enough
So I’ll fade away, no one will know. No one will know.
Just let me get in these last words.
Is this the end? Could this be the end?
(If so) Just let me get in these last words…
Just these last words…

The Waiting:
I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
No more if's & and's or buts. The time has come, & I've had enough.
Something's got to give or break. There's only so much i can take.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Speak these words that no one hears. I never meant to be sincere.
Leaves me here as "just a friend", forever trying to make amends.
I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Save me... from the person i thought was meant to... save me.
I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
No more wearing hearts on sleeves. And no more words meant to deceive.
No more burdens left to weigh. And no more time left here to wait.
No more if's & and's or buts. The time has come, & I've had enough.
Something's got to give or break. There's only so much i can take.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Save me... from the person i thought was meant to... save me.
I'm thru...
I'm thru waiting.
I'm thru...
I'm thru waiting

Sympathy

Are you ready for this one?
Because it’s going to hurt like hell. Yea.
So, here now is to sympathy.
At least that’s what we always knew her as.
She was all about empathy.
But she could never figure how to fit right in.
So, follow through once
On what you’ve said and
Walk away, and know that
I will always be there for you.
So, to the girl we knew as sympathy.
She never knew just who she was quite yet.
We always gave her empathy.
But she never found her inner strength.
So, follow through once
On what you’ve said and
Walk away, and know that
I will always be there for you.
I may have your pity.
But you have my sympathy. My sympathy.
And you have my sympathy.
Yes, you have my sympathy.
And just for the record. Just so you know.
If I ever saw you right now, I’d tell you where you could go.

Obsolete
Always wrong (you take what you need, now I’m down on one knee)
With something gone (you want more from me, sucked dry & left me empty)
I’m missing you (you take what you need,& left me obsolete)
What else is new?
I’m overblown and in this fragile state
I’m about to blow up & I’m about to faint
Always wrong
With something gone
I’m missing you
What else can I do?
I’m overblown and in this fragile state
I’m about to blow up & I’m about to faint
This image of us seems so obsolete
When you return, will it make us both complete?
