It's kind of funny how different things are today after only two years to think that it seems like yesterday I was waking up to you I fear that I'm starting to forget I'm letting go of everything I regret So sorry to say It's getting better today I hope when you close your eyes as you fall asleep at night all your heavy eyes can see are silhouettes of me She's gone mad again this isn't the first time I've been woken from a dream I had of pretty little flowers and the finer things in life I know I can make reality can I learn to let her go? and the pain she brings so here's to hoping I hope when you close your eyes as you fall asleep at night all your heavy eyes can see are silhouettes of me I hope when you close your eyes as you fall asleep at night all your heavy eyes can see are silhouettes of me I've got many addictions but by far the worst one is you I've got many addictions but by far the worst one is you I've got many addictions but by far the worst one is you I've got many addictions but by far the worst one is you I hope when you close your eyes as you fall asleep at night all your heavy eyes can see are silhouettes of me I hope when you close your eyes as you fall asleep at night all your heavy eyes can see are silhouettes of me

I never said that you were wrong for giving up on love I just thought all along that you were the one I never said that you were wrong for letting go of us I'm forced to run away from what she thought I'd done I welcome the sun to remind me of another day lost her words were falling on deaf ears not sure if I'm even seeing clear Lost in translation a foreign film Perception is flawed when time stands still Relapse to my head play back the reel of the things that were said (the things that were said) finding courage through a heart that's ruined and turning my life around instead Gypsy eyes mesmerize me if love is blind then I don't wanna see I don't want to see Picture perfect irrationality can't feel the surface we've dug too deep Claustrophobic no air to breath sinking slowly we're lost at sea I'm trying hard to hear the words you'd say I'm trying hard but they seem further away Relapse to my head play back the reel of the things that were said (the things that were said) finding courage through a heart that's ruined and turning my life around instead Relapse to my head play back the reel of the things that were said (the things that were said) finding courage through a heart that's ruined and turning my life around instead Bring her back to me I can't fall asleep without you do you remember when we said "I do"? Memories like portraits Hang from a sewn up sleeve Try balancing karma when the earth falls apart at the seams Memories like portraits Hang from a sewn up sleeve Try balancing karma when the earth falls apart at the seams when the earth falls apart at the seams

Well I guess I can't complain about this roller-coaster heartache isn't that what it takes to write a song anyway So I guess I should be thanking you instead of analyzing your skewed cues and dwelling on what you said yesterday I'm feeling much better today without your absence getting in the way forgive me for forgetting you forget me while I'm giving you away So dream on dreamer what are you searching to find? when love is lost you'll be doomed to walk this dying world alive So dream on dreamer what are you searching to find? love's not enough to help your moony head find peace of mind So please promise me that you'll think about when we met last Spring when you taught me how to love again that's why it's hard to see the end of us and what we could have been I wish I didn't wan't you anymore Will it take over a year just like before So dream on dreamer what are you searching to find? when love is lost you'll be doomed to walk this dying world alive So dream on dreamer what are you searching to find? love's not enough to help your moony head find peace of mind I guess you're just not worth my time so go get yours and I'll get mine I guess you're just not worth my time so go get yours so go get yours so go get yours I've been searching for a life that's worth it you're fading slowly while my light shines perfect don't look back to me for reassurance reoccurring memories prove worthless I've been searching for a life that's worth it (dream on dreamer) you're fading slowly while my light shines perfect (dream on dreamer) don't look back to me for reassurance (dream on dreamer) reoccurring memories prove worthless (dream on dreamer) So dream on dreamer what are you searching to find? when love is lost you'll be doomed to walk this dying world alive So dream on dreamer what are you searching to find? love's not enough to help your moony head find peace of mind

Starving myself again searching for any excuse to look better than him keep trying to tell myself it's what's inside that counts you think I'd figure that out and I just got over getting over you you pulled me back in when I got your phone call at 4 am, at 4 am, at 4 am I'll stop thinking of you when the nightmares fade away I saved every text message as pathetic as that is I can't let go of the memory of the first time you told me that you see yourself making progress with me progress with me I hope you sleep soundly tonight and if you think of me well that's alright I'm running out of patience you broke my heart I hope this breaks your concentration My guts are spilled upon the floor you've given me this feeling too many times before you're effortlessly bringing me to my knees in attempt to create perfect irony distance makes the heart grow fonder but I can't take this any longer distance makes the heart grow fonder but I can't take this any longer distance makes the heart grow fonder I can't take this any longer distance makes the heart grow fonder I can't take this any longer and I miss you and I hope you miss me too I hope you sleep soundly tonight and if you think of me well that's alright It's in everything I do another deja vu night spent thinking of you (thinking of you) I'll spend every night thinking of

Look at the bright side your heart is dead but your body's still alive look at the bright side your chest's stained red but love can still survive and I know and I know this healing process is far too fucking slow it's taken me two years to finally wipe away the tears so get up so get up run away as far as you can we'll split the distance between heaven, hell, the ocean, and sand Feverish in my head to think that I was better off dead Still following footsteps left I think it's time to my mind to rest Feverish in my head to think that I was better off dead Still following footsteps left I think it's time to my mind to rest Call me a quitter all you want I forfeit this game that you force me to play I can't hear her name I've had enough It's too much for this brittle heart to bear I pledge allegiance to myself that I know I can swear that I know I can swear Feverish in my head to think that I was better off dead Still following footsteps left I think it's time to my mind to rest Feverish in my head to think that I was better off dead Still following footsteps left I think it's time to my mind to rest I don't think I'm over-thinking I've lost sight and I'm glad it's sinking in this time I'll pick up the pieces this time I won't let her in I won't let her in
