Listen to me now
And try and hear my words
I'm gonna tell the truth
Even if it hurts
You don't understand me
And I can't make you whole
I've been too demanding
That's why I gotta go
Oooohhh
Still we keep on pushing
Pushing 'till theres nothing left
And everything we say
Is something we will soon regret
There's a world beyond these walls
Yeah I know it, I feel it everyday
And the love we used to have
Well, it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need
Isn't this one
And it's breaking me
There's no time for ordinary words.
Well, give it to me straight
So I can feel your pain
Nothing lasts forever
Life don't work that way
I know you'd love to hate me
Well it's to late for that
Oooohhh
Still we keep on pushing
Pushing 'till theres nothing left
And everything we say
Is something we will soon regret
There's a world beyond these walls
Yeah I know it, I feel it everyday
And the love we used to have
Yeah, it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need
Isn't this one
And it's breaking me
There's no time for ordinary words.
Still we keep on pushing
Pushing 'till theres nothing left
And everything we say
Is something we will soon regret
Well there's a world beyond these walls
Yeah I know it, I feel it everyday
And the love we used to have
Well, it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need
Isn't this one
And it's breaking me
There's no time for ordinary words.
Noooo
There's no time for ordinary words.
