Intro: Never lie to impress Because in the end you're not who you claim to be I can write you a thousand lines on how you've messed with my mind Wasted my time Verse: Have you ever had somebody dig a hole into your heart A hole so deep that everything around you seemed to turn completely dark Dark enough to keep you blind from all the possibilities around you Possibilities that could've changed your life or for once made you happy Not for once as if you never were but for once as of now because as of now you seem trapped to trapped to let yourself show to trapped to let yourself know that even for someone as beautiful as you it's impossible to shine in an abyss of old feelings you thought to be true Verse 2: We're you so deep In love With the idea of that somebody meaning that you weren't truly in love with them but rather with the image you created inside your head And they'd be on your mind every minute of your day Because you thought that this image your brain portrayed to you was meant to stay but no it wasn't because the idea that you had of them only matched up with who they claimed to be you see they lied to impress you in every way they knew would make you stay but now here you remain with an emotional scar that you know will never go away so now you're broken But you have to pick yourself back up and realize that in the end they don't deserve you let someone new fill in the gap that they left inside your heart and live a life happily with your new counterpart Outro: Never lie to impress Because in the end you're not who you claim to be I can write you a thousand lines on how you've messed with my mind Wasted my time

Intro: But for now I’m still human And every choice that I make May not be the best that I Have made Pharoah Soul: Lost at the crossroads, different directions, rippled in syllables how mistakes become our perfection The extension, of my soul, goes without to be mentioned Im venting lessons, invented, intended for the demented soul I reveal the universe of my palms, they say I need to find God And my story's probably in psalms, so I write this, try to make something righteous out of my wrongs, stay due to your mind control, I'm still stuck on evolve. Truth is, in saliva and mucus, subtracted form the hopes of the snake and the hands of the stupid. Verse: Tell me everything Tell me exactly how you feel Tell me if all my decisions Have affected us Would you prefer that everything Be, perfectly in place Would you prefer that every decision I make Be the right one Because I see that through the choices I made The way you see me just isn’t the same Is there anything that I can do To abolish all the bad memories Of all that we’ve gone through

Why? 04:26
Intro: Why is the question that I ask myself Why did everything fall in place this way? It’s not as if I wanted you to go your separate way But now I sit here broken hearted, and you’re to blame Verse: I remember the first time that I saw you You were sitting in the corner with your friends like you used to I didn’t have, much to say Only knew that you’d be on my mind for the rest of my day And sure enough, as I sit here, you’re all that’s on my mind But I won’t forget those memories, I promise you that i’ll keep them Very close to me But for now, all that I can think of is Chorus: My oh my oh how time flies Sometimes I still wish you were by my side But then I realize that there’s reason why you’re gone And if those reasons are to be, your get away from the feelings you Have for me, then you can run as far as you want Because since the last time you said goodbye, I’ve had time to realise that You are gone, and it’s time for me to move on Verse: Now that i sit here broken hearted Everything that reminds me of you just wears me down Cause every time that I hear your name I think of everything that you used to say But now that there’s no longer speaking nor feelings between us All that we had, has gone to waste But I still don’t know what to say, Don’t know who to talk to You’re the only one who’s understood all that i’ve gone through Chorus: My oh my oh how time flies Sometimes I still wish you were by my side But then I realize that there’s reason why you’re gone And if those reasons are to be, your get away from the feelings you Have for me, then you can run as far as you want Because since the last time you said goodbye, I’ve had time to realise that You are gone, and it’s time for me to move on Outro: So please tell me everything that's on your mind And I'll tell you everything that's on mine Cause even though we've gone our separate ways There's still a part of me that wishes that you'd of stayed

Chorus: One More Sip that she takes from her glass now. How much longer do you reckon that glass will last? With a smile thats slowly fading away, why can't you? See that this, is her only escape!

Verse One: There she sits in her room now, all alone And she thinks to herself, where did I go wrong? With all these voices inside her head telling her which way to go She's not sure if staying alive is even worth it anymore She's been broken too many times before Bridge: Because for everything that's been said About the rumors that they've spread Teardrops drop from her eyes But there he'll hold her in his arms Knowing that his presence keeps her calm He'll looks her straight into the eyes, and says Chorus: When the teardrops drop from your eyes, there I'll be, by your side 2night, and no matter what they say you know I'm here to stay *Silence Guitar, Then Repeat* When the teardrops drop from your eyes, there I'll be, by your side 2night, and no matter what they say you know I'm here to stay I'm here to stay Verse Two: As she sits and reads everything she sees On the four inch screen that lyes before her crossing BFF's off the list that says forever And she can't seem to fly away, from all The dark thoughts that lye within her mind Even if all he says assures her that she's wrong. She forgets it all again, once she's sitting home alone, letting all her thoughts lead to the scars that remain on her arms Because to her the silence doesn't soothe the mind, instead it causes her to think of every damn time that they've tried to break her down Bridge: Because for everything that's been said About the rumors that they've spread Teardrops drop from her eyes But there he'll hold her in his arms Knowing that his presence keeps her calm He'll looks her straight into the eyes, and says Chorus: When the teardrops drop from your eyes, there I'll be, by your side 2night, and no matter what they say you know I'm here to stay When the teardrops drop from your eyes, there I'll be, by your side 2night, and no matter what they say you know I'm here to stay
