ive waited 2 years for the sun to shine still in my place at the back of the line words and intentions, fucked up long ago just give me a call to let me know youre at home safe in your bed none of its true, the shit i read countless times ive given up hope wound back up, noose on my throat jump to the ground, and hope for the best i aimed for the clouds, but hit dirt instead bodys worn thin, but still theres hope i wont end up, at the bottom of the rope i didn't give up i just gave in the chase is still on, but my legs are giving out i can no longer run, i can only handle so much i didnt give up i just gave in your dreams won't come true unless you wake up open your eyes and let me step inside ive waited so long for you to figure out yourself i didn't give up, i just gave in I ruined everything but I swear I'm fine on my own that comfort I lost so long ago Ive never found my own home holding on to my last breath of hope I'm scared I need you more than you'll ever know I'm scared I need you more than you'll ever know i didnt give up i just gave in i didnt give up i just gave in i just gave in i just gave in

I've given on things that make me sad Depressed, upset, or just hurt really bad The years I spent living in the dark Helped me grow and learn where to start But I burnt my bridges, such a cliche line Hunted down my insecurities They're still there, but now I'm fine I wouldn't take back a single thing Without the pain I wouldn't be who I was Still finding who I'm sposed to be All I've found is I'm just me I'm just me Puzzle pieces, bent and don't fit any more The pictures not clear, but I have an idea The road I've walked really isn't so bad All it takes is, all it takes is (All it takes is, all it takes is) Finding out, where you want to be You're not standard, but a ball of clay Made to be shaped, not by authority So uncurse me From living your ideas Somehow I can't see That this will never work I can't be happy, we're not happy All I've found is I'm just me

take it back i wanna go back let me appologize for ever leaving your side i promise myself to never take advantage of a friendship that meant so much to me but if i could i would rewrite history id wash away these scars, and you'd be standing next to me never take for granted those people that hold you dear because one day you'll wake up and everything is gone grudges don't mean shit when your best friend leaves your side so apologize, and put your petty bullshit aside you left a hole in my heart when you said goodbye and to be honest i didn't know how to deal with it but to honor your memory ill never let some one slip away again you needed help that, i just couldn't give to you you were my brother and i could never forget you never take for granted those people that hold you dear because one day you'll wake up and everything is gone grudges don't mean shit when your best friend leaves your side so apologize, and put your petty bullshit aside (why did you have to leave me broken down and all alone bitter sweet and hating the world, all by myself camaron, oh camaron ill carry on, for you camaron, oh camaron ill carry on, for you)

i had a dream, you were inside the past was gone, we were just fine and i cant tell you how many times ive woken up cold and all alone [and i can't tell you how cold this december is going to be] i should be laying in the 70 degrees but i blew another fuse, trying to heat the space you left i know its fucked up how things went that shitty year it made me bent i wasted three years trying to forget so many nights left me upset but you ran back, and i let you in (you left as you walked in) have you woke up from a dream cold as hell, wrapped up in sheets but the temperatures in the 80 degrees i had a dream, you were inside the pressures gone, but I'm still dead inside cinco de mayos now fucked in my eyes and no bottle will ever fill this void i know its fucked up how things went that shitty year it made me bent i wasted three years trying to forget so many nights left me upset but you ran back, and i let you in (you left as you walked in) (the smoke has cleared and all i see is you)

whats it feel like to fill your pockets with naivieties wallet and do you smile when you goto sleep? knowing that your words have meant nothing youll always just be a background character never tell your own story living off someone elses fame hoping to be something all I want to do is spread some hate (we are the lost cause) we are your abandoned sons we are the harbinger sent to defy everyone this world is a fucking disease filled with agony and self hate I can no longer function I can't relate this isn't another song about how much i love you this song is a profession that you're full of shit and every line you repeat you stole from someone else well i hope this melody soothes because the message is a violent protest a civilization based on greed no longer living according to needs corrupt forecasts spread the lies severing hope, and all our ties youll always just be a background character never tell your own story living off someone elses fame hoping to be something (you're not anything) all I want to do is spread some hate (we are the lost cause) we are your abandoned sons we are the harbinger sent to defy everyone this world is a fucking disease filled with agony and self hate I can no longer function I can't relate a senseless melody with nothing to prove you're a fucking nobody. you've got nothing to prove
