I can't stand to think about
A heart so big it hurts like hell
Oh my god i gave my best
But for three whole years to end like this
Well do you want to fall apart
I can't stop if you cant start
Do you want to fall apart
I could if you can try to fix what I've undone
Cause I hate what I've become
You know me, oh you think you do
You just dont seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be
Something i can't define so lets cause a scene
Clap our hands and stomp our feet or something
Yeah something
I've just got to get myself over me
I could stand to do without
All the people i have left behind
Whats the point in going around when its a straight line baby
A straight line down
So lets make a list of who me need
And its not much, if anything
Lets make a list of who we need
And we'll throw it away
Cause we dont need anyone
No we dont need anyone
You know me, oh you think you do
You just dont seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be
Something i can't define so lets cause a scene
Clap our hands and stomp our feet or something
Yeah something
I've just got to get myself over me
And I hate what I've become
You know the night life is just not for me
Cause all you really need are a few good friends
I dont want to go out and be on my own
You know they started something i cant stand
You leave for the city
Well count me out
Cause all this time is wasted on everything I've done
