1.For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic

just talk yourself up and tear yourself down
you've hit your one wall now find a way around
well what's the problem?
you've got a lot of nerve

so what did you think I would say?
no you can't run away, no you can't run away
so what did you think I would say?
no you can't run away, no you can't run away
you wouldn't
I never wanted to say thisyou never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
and then you just threw it away
you threw it away

I'm not so naive, my sorry eyes can see
the way you fight shy of almost everything
well, if you give up, you'll get what you deserve

so what did you think I would say?
no you can't run away, no you can't run away
so what did you think I would say?
no you can't run away, no you can't run away
you wouldn't

I never wanted to say this
you never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
and then you just threw it away
you threw it away

you were finished long before we had even seen the start
why don't you stand up be a man about it
fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this
you never wanted to stay well did you
I put my faith in you, so much faith
and then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this
you never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
and then you just threw it away

That's What You Get

no sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
it's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score
and why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide
you have made it harder just to go on
and why, all the possibilities
well I was wrong

that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
and that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here?
cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holding on to silly things
I never learn oh why
all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard

that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
and that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

pain make your way to me, to me
and I'll always be just so inviting
if I ever start to think straight
this heart will start a riot in me
let's start, start, hey!

why do we like to hurt so much?
oh why do we like to hurt so much?
that's what you get when you let your heart win!
whoa

now I can't trust myself with anything but this
and that's what you get when you let your heart win

Hallelujah

somehow everything's gonna fall right into place
if we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
if only time flew like a dove
we gotta make it fly faster than I'm falling in love

this time we're not givin up
let's make it last forever
screamin "hallelujah"
we'll make it last forever

holding onto patience, wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
if only time flew like a dove
we could watch it fly and just keep lookin on

this time we're not givin up
let's make it last forever
screamin "hallelujah"
we'll make it last forever

and we've got time on our hands
and we've got, got nothing but time on our hands G
got nothing but, got nothing but
got nothing but time on our hands

this time we're not givin up
oh, let's make it last forever
screaming "hallelujah"
"hallelujah"
"hallelujah"

Misery Business
I'm in the business of misery
let's take it from the top
she's got a body like an hourglass, it's tickin like a clock
it's a matter of time before we all run out
when I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months
she finally set him free
I told him I can't lie, he was the only one for me
two weeks and we caught on fire
she's got it out for me
but I wear the biggest smile

whoa... I never meant to brag
but I got him where I want him now
whoa... it was never my intention to brag
to steal it all away from you now
but god does it feel so good
cause I got him where I want him now
and if you could then you know you would
cause god it just feels so...
it just feels so good

second chances they don't ever matter
people never change
once a whore you're nothing more
I'm sorry, that'll never change
and about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way
well there's a million other girls that do it just like you
looking as innocent as possible to get to who
they want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right
well I refuse, I refuse, I REFUSE!!!

whoa... I never meant to brag
but I got him where I want him now
whoa... it was never my intention to brag
to steal it all away from you now
but god does it feel so good
cause I got him where I want him right now
and if you could then you know you would

it just feels sooooooooooooooo
it just feels so good

I watched his wildest dreams come true
and not one of them involving you
just watch my wildest dreams come true
not one of them involving...

whoa.. I never meant to brag
but I got him where I want him now
whoa.. I never meant to brag
but I got him where I want him now
whoa... it was never my intention to brag
to steal it all away from you now
but god it just feels so good
cause I got him where I want him now
and if you could then you know you would
cause god it just feels so...
it just feels so good!

When It Rains

when it rains on this side of town
it touches everything
just say it again and mean it
we don't miss a thing
you made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole
and convinced yourself that it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore

and oh, oh, how could you do it?
oh I, I never saw it coming
oh, oh, I need the ending
so why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

and when it rains, you always find an escape
just running away from all of the ones who love you
from everything
you made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole
and you'll sleep 'til May
and you'll say that you don't wanna see the sun anymore

and oh, oh, how could you do it?
oh I, I never saw it coming
oh, oh, I need the ending
so why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

take your time, take my time
take these chances to turn it around (take your time)
take these chances, we'll make it somehow
and take these chances to turn it around (take my time)
just turn it around

oh, how could you do it?
oh I, I never saw it coming
oh, oh, how could you do it?
oh I, I never saw it coming
oh, oh, how could you do it?
oh I, I never saw it coming
oh, oh I need an ending
so why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

you can take your time, take my time

Let The Flames Begin

what a shame we all became such fragile, broken things
a memory remains just a tiny spark, I give it all my oxygen
to let the flames begin, so let the flames begin, oh glory
oh, glory

this is how we'll dance when
when they try to take us down
this is what we'll be, oh glory

somewhere weakness is our strength
and I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret such selfishness
my pain and all the trouble caused
no matter how long, I believe that there's hope
buried beneath it all and
hiding beneath it all, and
growing beneath it all, and...

this is how we'll dance when
when they try to take us down
this is how we'll sing it
this is how we'll stand when
when they burn our houses down
this is what we'll be oh glory

reaching as I sink down into light
reaching as I sink down into light

this is how we dance
when they try to take us down
this is how we'll sing oooh
this is how we'll stand when
when they burn our houses down
this is what we'll be oh glory

Miracle

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
so I'm gonna start over tonight beginning with you and I
when this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
with chances taken, hope embraced
and have I told you?

I'm not going
cause I've been waiting for a miracle
and I'm not leaving
I won't let you, let you give up on a miracle
when it might save you

we've learned to run from anything uncomfortable
we've tied our pain below and no one ever has to know
that inside we're broken
I try to patch things up again
to calm my tears and kill these fears
but have I told you, have I?

I'm not going
cause I've been waiting for a miracle
and I'm not leaving
I won't let you, let you give up on a miracle
cause it might save you

it's not faith if, if you use your eyes
oh why
we'll get it right this time (this time!)
let's leave this all behind
oh why
we'll get it right this time
it's not faith if you're using your eyes
oh why

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
so I'm going to start over tonight
beginning with you and...
I don't want to run from anything uncomfortable
I just want, no, I just need this pain to end right here

I'm not going
cause I've been waiting for a miracle
and I'm not leaving
I won't let you, let you give up on a miracle
cause it might save you
yeah, it might save you
oh, it might save you

it's not faith if, if you use your eyes
if you use your eyes
if you use your eyes

crushcrushcrush

I got a lot to say to you
yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
keeping them here
and it makes no sense at all

they taped over your mouth
scribbled out the truth with their lies
you little spies
they taped over your mouth
scribbled out the truth with their lies
you little spies

crush
crush
crush, crush, crush
(two, three, four!)

nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
just the one, two I was just counting on
that never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
let's be more than... this

if you wanna play it like a game
well, come on, come on, let's play
cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
than have to forget you for one whole minute

they taped over your mouth
scribbled out the truth with their lies
you little spies
they taped over your mouth
scribbled out the truth with their lies
you little spies

crush
crush
crush, crush, crush
(two, three, four!)

nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
just the one, two I was just counting on
that never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
let's be more than this now

rock and roll, baby
don't you know that we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
rock and roll, hey
don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
rock and roll, hey
don't you know, baby, we're all alone now
give me something to sing about

nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
just the one, two I was just counting on
that never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
let's be more than
no, oh

nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
just the one, two I was just counting on
that never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
let's be more than
more than this

We Are Broken

I am outside and I've been waiting for the sun
with my wide eyes I've seen worlds that don't belong
my mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
tell me why we live like this

keep me safe inside
your arms like towers
tower over me
cause we are broken
what must we do to restore our innocence
and all the promise we adored
give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

lock the doors cause I'd like to capture this voice
it came to me tonight
so everyone will have a choice
and under red lights, I'll show myself it wasn't forged
we're at war
we live like this

keep me safe inside
your arms like towers
tower over me
cause we are broken
what must we do to restore our innocence
and all the promise we adored
give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

tower over me (ooooh)
tower over me (ooooh)
and I'll take the truth at any cost

cause we are broken
what must we do to restore our innocence
and all the promise we adored
give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Fences

I'm sitting in a room made up of only big white walls
and in the hall, there are people looking through the window
though they know exactly what we're here for

don't look up, just let them think
there's no place else you'd rather be

you're always on display
for everyone to watch and learn from
don't you know by now?
you can't turn back because this road is all you'll ever have

and it's obvious that you're dying, dying
just living proof that the camera's lying
and oh oh open wide cause this is your night
so smile, cause you'll go out in style
you'll go out in style

if you let me I could, I'd show you how to build your fences
set restrictions, separate from the world
the constant battle that you hate to fight
just blame the limelight

don't look up, just let them think
there's no place else you'd rather be

and now you can't turn back
because this road is all you'll ever have

nd it's obvious that you're dying, dying
just living proof that the camera's lying
and oh oh open wide cause this is your night
so smile

yeah, yeah you're asking for it
with every breath that you breathe in
just breathe it in
yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
you do all this big talking, so now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it!

yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
you do all this big talking, so now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it

and it's obvious that you're dying, dying
just living proof that the camera's lying
and oh oh open wide
yeah, oh oh open wide
yeah, oh oh open wide
cause you'll go out in style
you'll go out in style

Born For This

oh no I just keep on falling (back to the same old!)
and where's hope when misery comes crawling? (oh, my way, hey!)
with your faith you'll trigger a landslide (victory)
to kill off this common sense of mind

it takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
you can't down it with your eyes
so we don't need the headlines
we don't need the headlines
we just want...
we want the airwaves back
we want the airwaves back

everybody sing like it's the last song you will ever sing
tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
everybody live like it's the last day you will ever see
tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

right now you're the only reason (I'm not letting go, oh!)
Time out if everyone's worth pleasing (well haha!)
you'll trigger a landslide (victory)
to kill off their finite state of mind

it takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
you can't down it with your eyes
so we don't need the headlines
we don't need the headlines
we just want...
we want the airwaves back
we want the airwaves back

everybody sing like it's the last song you will ever sing
tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
everybody live like it's the last day you will ever see
tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
everybody sing like it's the last song you will ever sing
tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure?

alright, so you think you're ready?
okay, then you'll say this with me, go!
we were born for this (we were born for this!)
alright, so you think you're ready?
okay, then you'll say this with me, go!
we were born for this (we were born for this!)
we were born for this
we were born for this
we were born for, we were born for...

everybody sing like it's the last song you will ever sing
tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
everybody live like it's the last day you will ever see
tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?
everybody sing like it's the last song you will ever sing
tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?

we were born for this (we were born for this!)

It’s basically okay to have scars and to show them,
to show that you’ve been through all sorts of things
& have come out a different person and a better person because of it."
