 Intro after bass:  2x
Blacked  out in a white  room
 My last  cigarette lost the cherry
 Reminds  me of fallen idols
 Their hearts  on their sleeves when  they're buried.
 And freedom  don't come easy
 Just show  me the way and I'll meet  you there
 You're the one  thing that I needed
 I'm caught  in the crossfire and I  don't care.
 'Cause I try  so hard
 I never  thought I'd fall  so far
 And everytime  I do, I scar
 But now  I'm wide awake
 So say,  say, say you love  me
 Don't take,  take, take too long,  I'm falling
 I'm way,  way, way too lonely
 The same  great thing you always wanted
 You're not  alone
 I'll never  care how far  you go
 You'll always  know it
Say,  say, say you love  me
 'Cause I  need to colour  outside the lines
 
I'll  cry on the inside
 But nobody  else can hear anything
 You're an upside  to my downfall
All  of the sweetness without  the sting
 And I try  so hard
 I never  thought I'd fall  so far
 And everytime  I do, I scar
 But now  I'm wide awake
 So say,  say, say you love  me
 Don't take,  take, take too long,  I'm falling
 I'm way,  way, way too lonely
 The same  great thing you always wanted
 You're not  alone
 I'll never  care how far  you go
 You'll always  know it
Say,  say, say you love  me
 'Cause I  need to colour  outside the lines
 You can fall  from grace and land  on your feet
 But if I'm gonna be anybody, I gotta  be me
 You can save  some face and find  room to breathe
 And if I wanted,  would you give it away?
 So say,  say, say you love  me
 Don't take,  take, take too long,  I'm falling
 I'm way,  way, way too lonely
 The same  great thing you always wanted
 So say,  say, say you love  me
 Don't take,  take, take too long,  I'm falling
 I'm way,  way, way too lonely
 So lonely,  so lonely
 You can fall  from grace and land  on your feet
 But if I'm gonna  be anybody, I gotta  be me
 You can save  some face and find  room to breathe
 And if I wanted,  would you give it away?
 You're not alone
 I'll never  care how far  you go
 You'll  always know it
Say,  say, say you love  me
 'Cause I  need to colour  outside the lines
