I'm missing memories Or at least the feelings that I had If I could I wouldn't turn back time My life right now ain't bad But I wish I could have lingered longer I'm missing times I can't get back I wish things wouldn't go so fast It's so hard to keep track Chorus: I think of you as the tears roll in One life ending as one begins You'll find another, you'll move on But we'll never forget The summer we grew up These boxes fill my halls Brimming with things and memories My life between these walls What do I leave behind How many endless nights The days blend into one another But every day we had each other I saw you more t

I haven't shaved in twenty days, who am I trying to impress? I haven't combed my hair in weeks; I know I look a mess I sleep for thirteen hours each day, but never get my rest So forgive me for my countenance, right now I'm not my best I'm still trying to get a grip on things, bear with me if you can If you can't be around me now, you know I'll understand But I know that isn't like you, and you'll offer me your hand So I'll have something to hold onto when I'm feeling abandoned Chorus: I'm still trying, I'm still fighting, I'm not giving up yet I just need a year or two to rest and then I swear, I'm all set I'll go down swinging,

There is nothing you can say to me that I have never heard And there is nothing you can do for me to save me from her words As long as I'm alone I'll sing this same old empty song Until I find someone to carry me, to help me move along I'll sing these same old empty rhymes that everyone already knows And I'll learn to mask the pain I feel until it never shows So pretty soon no one will come whenever I look sad And I can wallow in this melancholy mood I've always had Chorus: Maybe today Maybe tomorrow Maybe sometime soon someone will come And spare me further sorrow Maybe tonight Maybe someday Maybe sometime soon someone will c

I'm always the last one to know I'm left out of the loop And even when my friends surround me I'm not part of the group She has him and he has her He's every boy, she's every girl And here I stand, what everyone who's ever loved and lost becomes Chorus: I am a solitary man With my solitary frown Kneeling at my reliquary Of broken hearts and dreams let down A simple servant of my sorrow Live for today, die for tomorrow I am a martyr for my misery And I am dying for some company As I gaze into the flames I see the faces, hear the names of all the couples as they dance And whisper words of their romance But I'm just standin

I love you more than I hate some others But you can't apply that here You can't ask me to meet you there When she's someone I can't stand to be near This anger's deep-seated And I have my reasons I never hold a grudge I can't keep This goes much deeper than me versus her, It's a war that I wage on her kind in this world Chorus: Don't ask that of me It's not something I can do Don't ask that of me I would never ask the same of you Now this is a message for the source of my disdain It's you and your kind that cause the world its pain This may seem petty- - and on your side, that's true! When it's over they'll see that the real

You took me for granted And spat on my name You loved me and left me Your love has no shame Chorus: Take me Take me Do what you will, but you can't break me Take me Take me Tear me down, but you can't break me You suffered yourself And I thought you knew But with each passing day You made me suffer too You're digging your own hole Sinking down in your pit I thought I could trust you But you're full of shit Take me Take me Do what you want, but you can't break me Take me Take me As long as I breathe, you'll never break me

I remember I remember rain How it washed away the lives we had before And we found our way When the rain came down And we made it to your door I remember in the rain the things that we would do And every time it rains I remember you Chorus: Breaking down, the dam bursts I remember and it still hurts I remember you leaving And you never came back But I don't remember Just where we went off track Laying here My arms were made for holding you Now my arms are empty And they've forgotten the shape They once conformed to And I'm unsure if everything I've held onto is true But I remember one thing I remember you Chorus: B

As you're lyin' there awake And you're feeling kind of dumb Because you're waiting up for someone That'll never ever come And your thoughts drift back to her And the times you once had shared You'd have asked her to go out with you If you hadn't been so scared Chorus: Tell me did you think you had a chance? Did you think that you would make it? Did you think that if you gave your hand, She might have reached out to take it? As you're lyin' there awake How many sleepless nights You've waited up for someone Who's already turned out the lights Now your thoughts drift back to her And the times you could have had All you do i
