 Tell me girl what
 were you thinking?
 Hit me with something
 that will make
 this worth  my time
 Take it back take
 it all back now
 Every promise I made
 was just another
 mistake with you
 Tell the truth if
 you think that
 you can take it
 But I know, you wont
 I never felt
 so all alone
 But when it was
 safe I turned
 my back and the
 blade came through
 And I  can barely breathe
 And I can barely breathe
 And I can barely breathe
 Stand on top of the roof  top
 wondering  Is it good?
 Yea it's good for jumping
 Take back every word  you
 said Cause I  can barely breathe
 (and I can barely breathe)
 Tell me now can
 you still taste him?
 Cause you know you'll
 never wash your
 hands of  this
 Take it back take
 it all back now
 Every drunken kiss that
 landed on his
 lips from you
 Make a move if you
 think that you can make it
 But I know, you wont
 I never felt
 so all alone
 But when it was
 safe I turned
 my back and the
 blade came through
 (Repeat Refrain and Chorus twice)
--  x4, ---
Hold your tounge
 You know nothing
 about  this
 Don't even
get  involved
 I hope you watch
 as I'm falling down
 Because you are the
 reason I'd hit
 the ground
You  could be the
one  that breaks  me
You  will be the one
 that breaks  me now
 I hope you know that
 every tear you cried
 Is a memory left from
 when you watch me die
 You know i'll
haunt  your dreams
 With all these pieces
 you stole  of me
---
  Of me
 (Repeat Refrain and Chorus twice)

 It's 9  o’clock and it’s
 getting dark and
I  can’t see the road
 I flash my headlights
 into the dark night
 I swear  we’ll make
 it on our own
 We're older  than
 we used to be
this  town holds
 no more to see
 we’re fading  in
 we’re fading out
 until I  hear you say
 Come on come on
 Hey kid this is
far  too important
 for you  to understand
 She says be  a man
 you know this is
what  we both wanted
 It’s time  for
 us to let go
 of all  we’ve known
 It’s 1  a.m and we’re
 alone again I reach
 out for the sky
 My mind keeps  playing
 all the words
 you’re saying
 I’m always wrong
 when you are right
 (Repeat Refrain and Chorus except last line)
 of all  we’ve known
------G  x2 --

 Just one more hour
 and I'll know the truth that separates
 the right From all the
wrong  feelings that
 You have about me your
 grace is distracting me
 White out the memories
 of each sarcastic shot you took at me
 With your  hurtful tones
 and biting melodies
 Just one more outburst
 and I'm leaving you like
 you left me one year ago
and I  know that this
 could never be an apology from you
 A meaning buried
 under shuttered breathing
 Its taking too long  for me  to spit it out
 Tell me everything  will be  alright
 Close your eyes and dream  of me  tonight
 Tell me that you won't  just fade  away
 Cross my heart and hope to die
 tonight I'll dream  my pain away
 I'll let the lack of
 words speak for me
 the way I am I can't
 express or understand
 I'll take the time
 now to make you see
 you see
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
----  (x2)
 I see through your lies
 they're bleeding  from your eyes
 Tell me everything  will be  alright
 Close your eyes and dream  of me  tonight
 Tell me that you won't  just fade  away
 Cross my heart and hope to die
 tonight I'll dream  my pain away
 (Repeat Chorus 1)

 So what did I do wrong
 I'll take  it back and start over again  (again)
 Well I fall asleep with you
 And I wake up alone,  and unwanted
In  your silence
 And I wish I could destroy  you
 But instead I'll just adore  you
 And know that you  were silent

 I know  I'll be alone
 But its  worth it for  you...for you
 (Repeat Chorus)

 Silence
 Blood stained sheets
 What have I gotten
 myself into this time?
 I close  my eyes and
 I believe you
 If I  should die I'll
  -- ------  never leave you
B-B-B--A----B--B-B-Cm---B-B-B-C#m-B-B-B{eot}
I wish that I could walk away
guilt rests in my hands
I know that it is for the better
I never said that i'd compromise
between fact or fiction
there's so much better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
Another sentence this
all could be over
Your words are like weapons
why can't you protect me
Blood stained sheets
What have I gotten
myself into this time?
I close my eyes and
I believe you
If I should die I'll
never leave you
I wish that you would walk away
red still lines your hands
I know that it's
still for the better
I never said that
i'd stand aside
between you and the door
there's nothing
better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1)
Blood stained sheets
It didn't matter when
I was calling
out your name
I felt the wound
grow ever slowly
closer than you'd
ever hold me
Its a work of art
the way this fell apart
was the design too
faded from the start
or was the artist
just too blinded by this
no its common sense I
lack the confidence
still i'll confess all
these things to you to you
(hold)-----B
take a look at yourself
and tell me what do you see
I'd take a bullet for you
you'd put a bullet through me
and as I lay on the floor
with this hole in my chest
how will you walk from the truth
with all that blood on your dress
And everything that you want
is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
but you'd have take it from me
and every word that you said
it brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend
its all fading
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)

If you go within

 There's a time  and
 place for everything
 The words  you spoke
 the words he said
How  could this
happen  to me
Wake  up and
turn  around
 You gave  the flame
 its burning out
 And now  you mean
nothing  to me
 and you make it
 so easy
 to just
walk  away
 and you take me
 for granted
 As we both
know  you have
 (Repeat Chorus)
 And so replace
 every dream you had
 Find your way back
 home this time
 you'll be on your own
 Ill be waiting
 there with you hope
 The hopes of better
 days and a love
 that wont fade away
 I've been feeling  so
 lost but I  wont
let  it show
 Into  your arms
 I've fallen  once again
 (Repeat Chorus except last line)
nothing  to me
 So I wake up wake up
How  could this
happen  to me
 So I wake up wake up
Don't  let it
burn  out on me

Just one more [Ab]hour

[Cm]wrong feelings that
You have about me your
grace is distracting [Ab]me
White out the memories

Just one more [Ab]outburst
and I'm leaving you like
you left me one year ago
[Bb]and [Cm]I know that this
could never be an apology from [Ab]you
A meaning buried
under shuttered breathing
Its taking too [Bb]long for [Cm]me to spit it out

Tell me every[Ab]thing will [Bb]be al[Cm]right
Close your eyes and [Ab]dream of [Bb]me to[Cm]night
Tell me that you [Ab]won't just [Bb]fade a[Cm]way
Cross my heart and hope to [Ab]die
tonight I'll [Bb]dream my pain a[Eb]way

the way this fell a[B]part
was the design too
faded from the s[A]tart
or was the artist
just too blinded by this
[C#m]  no its common sense I
lack the confi[B]dence
still i'll confess all
these things to [A]you to [B]you

[A](hold)---[B]-[B]-[B]

[A]  take a look at yourself
and tell me what do you see
I'd take a bullet for you
you'd put a bullet through me
[C#m]  and as I lay on the floor
with this hole in my chest
how will you walk from the truth
with all that [B]bl[B]oo[B]d on your [A]dress
And everything that you want
is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
but you'd have take it from [C#m]me
and every word that you said
it brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend
its all fading

[Ebm]say them [Ab]any[F#]way
Any[Ab]way yeah

(Repeat Chorus twice)

[F#]  Cause I can't [Ab]break away
