All these days have turned these months into a year

And i've been spending every second wishing i could disappear

And i know when they all start to speak again

I just need some inspiration i can rightfully defend

And i'm close when it's hurting bad, it only gets worse

I sing for the children of the earth

I've broken every rule that i've known

Since you told me that i've got to have passion

Honestly, you've got me all wrong

I am just a boy on my own, and we're looking for some promising action

Tell me what it takes, you we're wrong

When i'm gone i can't keep up with what's at home

And i'd love to make it right, but there are things i can't control

But i'm close, when it's over tell me when to let go

I'll be the last one to know

When you were at the top of my list, i promised you

That this wouldn't happen, how do i begin to explain

Crimson lips and permanent kiss, you love me

On the back of her napkin, maybe i should throw it away

Make a move, so carefully,

Cut me down and let me bleed

And i'll slowly, walk away

And now you wanna talk, so fitting

I remember times, when you were holding by a thread of a chance

You'll make it out alive, god willing

All you need is time,

And it's been getting awful close to our year

This is so messed up, but if you give me all your love

Then we'll show angels up above,

That we can make it out alive, god willing,

I remember times, when you were holding by a thread of a chance

I've broken all the rule that i've known

You told me that i've got to have passion

Honestly, you've got me all wrong

I am just a boy on my own,

And we're looking for some promising action

Tell me what it takes, you we're wrong

Make a move, so carefully,

Get me down and let me bleed

And i'll slowly walk away
