Some days all you can do is hope you made the right choice
Did you speak too loudly, could she even hear your voice?
Did you do everything in your power to stop this?
Did you give yourself up when you went in for the kiss?
Maybe you should have held back, or maybe you were right to come out and attack
Maybe you should have ended this long ago, but what that would have done will never be known
Maybe you should have spoke a little kinder, or maybe you could have set her on fire
What if you were her, how would you have wanted it?
You'll never know
If you made the right decision
You tried with precision
But you can never be sure
As long as your intent was pure
Then you did the right thing for sure

Every morning we stir silently
Awaking to a whole new world
Full of precious life, but marred by worthless strife
Plagued by constant sorrow, but full of hope for tomorrow
Today is just one of many
Possibilities and realities
That wait for us
Looming in dark alleys
or flying on the highest of clouds
We can do anything that our hearts will allow
Like the rest we chase so often
We will have it in our coffins
These days are too bright to hide from the light
Reach out and touch it before you fade away
None of it matters anyway
I know you might be scared, but I am no stranger to fear
Your belly is full of something rotten, your breath stinks of beer
Why are you wasting my time, why did you call me here?
I told you once that you cannot be living this way if you want to be free
Now won't you please go away
I don't need you blocking my sun today

Could I risk to love you again?
You never left my thoughts, despite the troubles that you caused
You never left my sight, even when my days were drained of light
You never escaped my heart, though now is not a time to start
To let you in again, dare I say I would
Honestly I want to, but I don't think we should
Even if you wanted to, I don't think I could
Let you out, keep you close
I'm in love in secret, I don't think you know
How many times I tried and failed to let you go

What is it you are looking for
You're always chasing your love out the door
And when you feel lonelier than before
You blame the world as you curl up on the floor
What is the answer you hope to find
You're always running circles through your mind
And when you learn there is nothing to find
You hold onto what you can't leave behind
Where is the motivation you seek
You're always claiming that you are too weak
And when you're quiet all you want to do is speak
But you just paint your face with colors hopeless and bleak
What is it you are looking for
You're always sitting on the ground looking quite bored
And always telling me that there must be something more
You just can't help but look up when you're always on the floor

Why must I be the one
To always be in love but to never have the courage to say
To always be on the run but to never get away
To always be lost in thought but to never find my way
Why must you be the one
To always be on my mind but to never to be found
To always be close but to never be around
To always be a princess but to never be crowned
Why must we be the ones
To always want to stay but to never remain
To always try to smile but to never escape the pain
To always be of fire but to never be of rain
Why must we be
Always less than our eyes can see
Always more than the world can believe
Always greater than the rolling seas
Always fewer than the fading memories
Why must I
Why must you
Always be anything but just us two

Where have all the good times gone
When luck gave way everything went wrong
My friend, have you been there and back
Did you find yourself tied to the tracks
Barreling down a broken rail
Every attempt to escape only fails
I took my ride on the misery train
And its a trip I hope I never take again
Have you lived through your darkest days
Wandering helplessly through a jaded haze
With a distant light always out of reach
Forgoing all the advice your friends would preach
Dreaming while you can just to forget the world
Sleeping in a place, all alone and cold
A place where you could cry
And mutter to yourself the same tired lie
That you still believe that there is a hope
And tomorrow you won't need the drugs to help you cope
You will no longer give into sin
And you'll be better than you have ever been
But that new dawn just will not rise
You drown yourself under the river pouring from your eyes
Have you felt the weight of a past that you cannot change
Anger and grief that fester, devouring you in rage
Afraid to take a single step towards your desire
Because last time you tried you got burnt by fire
So now you carry water and extinguish every flame
And when you say your world is dark, you only have yourself to blame
I have lived through my trip to hell
And I hope that you haven't been there as well

I never doubted your heart, just your commitment to the part
Through thick and thin, you just couldn't let me in
In sickness and in health, I'm feeling better by myself
Through the good times and the bad, you could never keep up with the passion that I had
For times of wealth and times of need, my hungry heart you could never feed
And for better or for worse, I'm happy now to be free of your curse
