Hoobastank

With eyes closed tightly,

I march so blindly.

Pretending everything's fine,

'Cause you're there to keep me in line.

I don't want your guidance,

I'll break my silence.

So sick of asking and being denied and now I realize.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,

We were born to lead.

We're finally free, no longer following,

We were born to lead... we were born to lead.

There's a pain that sleeps inside,

Sleeps with just one eye

And awakens, the moment that you leave

And I search through every face,

Without a single trace, of the person,

The person that I need.

No pictures, no letters

Nothing can ever replace you.

Reminders, whatever

Nothing can ever replace you.

You've stripped away and uncovered the real me.

So goodbye, my friend.

Until we meet again,

Some other day.

I know so much will change.

But looking back I can say,

I wouldn't change a day.

I hope you can say the same.

That you understand,

The only life we have,

Is here and now,

Not up in the clouds.

With every breath we can say,

It is a brand new day.

Help me carry on

And show me it's okay to use my heart and not my eyes

To navigate the darkness

Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?

Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

And I take the first step of a million more.

And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.

But at least I'm moving forward,

The whole world's racing by

And no words can describe how this feels inside

You need to be here, you need to be here with me.

They come and go so fast, these moments never last

So you need to be here, you need to be here with me.

I've become tired

Of Wasting my time

Thinkin' about choices

That I've made

Cause I can't move forward

While looking behind

The only thing I can do now

Is change the way

That I used to be

Cause now it seems

Crystal clear to me

(Go) Where should I go?

(Do) What should I do?

I don’t understand what you want from me

Cause I don’t know

If I can trust you

I don’t understand what you want from me

Everything I know will change, I'll never be the same

So I'm told as a voice repeats «Again, again and again»

What if it doesn't feel like everyone said it should?

What have I become?

Realise in a moment my ambition is a curse

'Cause it hides all the best in me, but shows the worst
