We all have something to hide Sometimes I can't look you in the eyes 'Cause i can't believe the things i've done there is no distance i could run to get away to finally feel safe or to convince myself it's okay to go insane But I swear there's nothing I can do just won't stop feeling sad and forget what i wanna do I just keep saying things that i don't wanna say and if tortures me when i look in to your face i can't stand to look at you i wanna see you soon i've got way too much pride i hate everything i do nothing's making sense and this is nothing new my stomach's feeling green my heart is turning blue i can't stand to look at you i wanna see you soon i've got way too much pride i hate everything i do nothing's making sense and this is nothing new my stomach's feeling green my heart is turning blue last night i fell again one of these times i'm gonna break something i'd better be careful what i say i'd better be careful what i think 'cause my mind's a wreck, and I might not survive another day maybe things would be easier that way i wish you didn't have to see me this way

Fake Sorries 03:08
This is slowly sucking out my soul I may say the things that i wanna say but those are the things i don't want you to know don't listen to me or my ramblings i think i finally lost my mind you think i finally lost my mind and i told myself i'd get some sleep tonight now it's a quarter past five and there's no sunlight maybe if i just shut my eyes i can accomplish this maybe that's my handicap think I'll just aim for a little nap and i can hear your fake sorries echo in my mind so please why can't you just leave me be you said that you'd be here, maybe i told myself i'd write a song i told myself i'd walk it off but i've been walking so long and your face still isn't gone seems like i can only produce on my worst days when i know from the start that i feel out of place i end up wandering around in the creek by your house till i trip and fall when your sail comes about things were said there it's best not to hear if you wanna keep your happiness all wrapped up tight and near but we said them anyway and it wasn't just any day you held your breath, you stopped my heart, without the sun it soon turned dark and i can hear your fake sorries echo in my mind so please why can't you just leave me be you said that you'd be here, maybe i told myself i'd write a song i told myself i'd walk it off but i've been walking so long and your face still isn't gone

I'm glad to hear that your heart is locked up safe and sound as soon as I took the wheel i drove this whole thing into the ground and the look in your eyes is the only thing that kept me alive yet i stayed alone, except for my phone which was lighting up all night long and i don't know you but i want to i hope you like me 'cos i sure like you i guess i never gave you a clue i hate to tell you, but i'm really just not that smooth i think i creeped you out my senses tell me that it's time for me to back down I'm everybody's friend but I'd love someone to put my arms around and if you think that that's you, howdy miss, how do you do but i'll never make a move for the fear that it'll turn my heart blue but maybe i should take the risk, for heaven's sake gotta trust my feelings, they claim that they're not fake you're such a sweet girl and now i know if you wanna stay sad you should just lay low

Control 02:39
I had a hole in my heart and now that it is filled I've got something new to lose we ignored all the warning signs and now we're both obliged to keep the other alive and now that we're stuck let's hope we get let down easy I don't wanna feel a thing when I hit the ground you deserve all the control you can get your hands on so I'll give you the little I've got, I'm letting go of the wheel I think I'm going blind 'cos I'm crashing down into everything 'cos I can't figure out what you mean I look away when I feel ashamed 'cos I deserve all that i've got coming my way I had the chance to be a man and to make the change But I went and lost the fight and lowered my head and now the guilt burns in my veins and I might aswell be dead

Kaleidoscope 03:30
I’m so scared I’m gonna lose you, but there’s nothing that you could say everyone that i get close to just seems to go insane and i don’t wanna drive you away i admit that my record is not that great but I won’t take the blame; I’ve just been banking for when you’re not around I’ve just been waiting for when you leave town you need to be more optimistic, you need to clean your kaleidoscope everything you see is tragic, but you’re all that I’ve got to cope you’re the prettiest thing, that I ever have seen but when you’re living your life, you don’t seem to believe well start believing: when you find some guy, he’ll be the luckiest fucker in town when you find some guy, please don’t forget I’m around if you x-rayed my chest, you’d see a spot reserved just for you sadly, it’s safe to assume, that the same doesn’t apply to you but imagine it did, what of it then? all the thing’s we’d have seen, all the places we’d been well it’s not too late my heart will keep beating, and I’ll make sure yours does the same my heart just keeps beating, and I’ll make sure yours does the same my heart just keeps beating, and it won’t stop as long as yours does the same
