TRANSCRIPT
Thought that I was strongI know the words I need to say
Frozen in my placeI let the moment slip away
I’ve been screaming on the inside and I know you feel the painCan you hear me, can you hear me? (ah, ah, ah)
Say its over, yes its over but I need you anywaySay you love me but its not enough
Never meant to liebut I’m not the girl you think you know
The more that I am with youthe more that I am all alone
I’ve been screaming on the inside and I know you feel the painCan you hear me, can you hear me? (ah, ah, ah)
Say its over, yes its over but I need you anywaySay you love me but its not enough
Not that I’m so differentNot that I don’t see the dying light of what we used to beBut how can I forgive you- You changedand I’m a liar by your sideI’m about to lose my mindcause I’ve been screaming on the inside and I know you feel the painCan you hear me, can you hear meYou’ve been dreaming if you’re thinking that I still belong to youand I’ve been dying cause I’m lying to myself (ah, ah, ah)Say its over, yes its over but I need you anywaySay you love me but its not enough
T H E C H A N G E
Do what you what you want, if you have a dream for betterDo what you what you want till you don’t want it anymore
(remember who you really are)Do what you what you want, your world’s closing in on you now
(it isn’t over)Stand and face the unknown
(got to remember who you really are)Every heart in my hands like a pale reflection
Hello, hello remember me?I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through
Do what you what you want, you don’t have to lay your life down(it isn’t over)
Do what you what you want till you find what you’re looking for (got to remember who you really are)
But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you
Hello, hello remember me?I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believeHello, hello remember me?I’m everything you can’t controlSomewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe
There’s still timeclose your eyesonly love will guide you homeTear down the walls and free your soulTill we crash we’re forever spiraling down, down, down, down
Hello, hello, its only me infecting everything you loveSomewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believeHello, hello remember me?I’m everything you can’t controlSomewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to learn forgivenessHello, hello remember me?I’m everything you can’t controlSomewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through

Speak your mindlike I care
I can see your lips movingI’ve just learned not to hear
Don’t waste your time
Its never enough for you, babyDon’t want to play your game anymore
no matter what you sayI’m all out of love for you, baby
and now that I’ve tried everythingI’ll numb the pain till I am made of stone
Take your timeI’m not scared
Make me everything you need me to beso the judgement seems fair
Don’t waste your time
Its never enough for you, babyDon’t want to play your game anymoreno matter what you sayI’m all out of love for you, babyand now that I’ve tried everythingI’ll numb the pain till I am made to tear out my heart for the way that it feelsI will still remember when you’ve long forgotten me
Its never enough for you, babyDon’t want to play your game anymoreno matter what you sayI’m all out of love for you, babyand now that I’ve tried everythingI’ll numb the pain till I am made of stone
M A D E O F S T O N E
I pulled away to face the painI close my eyes and drift away
over the fear that I will never find a way to heal my souland I will wander till the end of time
torn away from you
My heart is brokensweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow’s hold (over my heart)
I can’t go on living this wayBut I can’t go back the way I came
chained to this fear that I will never find a way to heal my souland I will wander till the end of time
half alive without you
My heart is brokensweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us
ChangeOpen your eyes to the lightI denied it all so long, oh so longSay goodbyeGoodbye
My heart is brokenrelease me, I can’t hold ondeliver us My heart is brokensweet sleep, my dark angeldeliver us My heart is brokensweet sleep, my dark angeldeliver us from sorrow’s hold
M Y H E A r T I S B r O k E N
Make me whole againOpen your eyes
Taunted by the shadows of your lightCold and far away
like you’re not even mineUndo everything and take me higher
Never believing what they say cause I’m
Counting the days to meet you on the other sideI will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other sideCome and take me home
I’m not giving inI want you back
holding together by the shards of our pastStole my heart away
I can’t let you goBreak these chains and let me fly to you
high above the world belowOver and over in my mind
Counting the days to meet you on the other sideI will always be waiting until the day that I see you on the other sideCome and take me home
I am so lost without my place inside your heartI wont survive I need to know you hear meAwaken and release my love
Counting the days to meet you on the other sideI will always be waiting until the day that I see you on the other sideCome and take meCounting the days to meet you on the other sideI will always be waiting until the day that I see you on the other sideCome and take me home
T H E O T H E r S I D E
It’s too late to change your mindeven though this fragile world is tearing apart at the seams
I can’t wash these sins awaythis sinking feeling every day I’m waking up in someone else’s life
Is it so hard for you, cause it’s so hard for meto believe that what we dreamed could ever come to life again
cause I cannot erase this lie
Not gonna let this day go byI’m gonna save this wasted life and nothing can stand in my way
Not enough to say goodbyeBurn it till there’s nothing left
I’m drowning in the mess that I have made
Is it so hard for you, cause it’s so hard for meto believe that what we dreamed could ever come to life againcause I cannot erase this darkness in me
The water’s rising around usthere is no other way downI only have myself to blame for it all
Is it so hard for you, cause it’s so hard for meto believe that what we dreamed could ever come to life againif I could just erase my mindbut I cannot erase this lie
E r A S E T H I S
Embrace the silencecause there’s nothing that can change the way I feel
Taken all that you wantednow there’s nothing that can change the way I feel
Hold on, little girlThe end is soon to come
Sick of it all, sick of it allWe will not follow
Sick of it all, sick of it allThey don’t understand how
Sick we are, sick we are of this bottomless pit of lies
behind closed eyes
Oceans between us and there’s nothing that can change the way I feel
I can still taste the poisonof every thought, every breath I wasted here
Hold on, little girlThe end is soon to come
Sick of it all, sick of it allWe will not followSick of it all, sick of it allThey don’t understand how Sick we are, sick we are of this bottomless pit of liesbehind closed eyes
Someday you’ll know the painSomeday the light will break throughAnd nothing you tell yourself will save us from the truthscreaming out
Sick of it all, sick of it allWe will not followSick of it all, sick of it allThey don’t understand how Sick we are, sick we are of this bottomless pit of liesbehind closed eyes
S I C k
I found a grave brushed off the face
felt your light andI remember why I know this place
I found a birdclosing her eyes one last time
and I wonder if she dreamed like me
As much as it hurts, ain’t it wonderful to feel?So go on and break your wings
Follow your heart till it bleedsas we run towards the end of the dream
I’m not afraidI pushed through the pain
and I’m on fireI remember how to breathe again
As much as it hurts, ain’t it wonderful to feel?So go on and break your wingsFollow your heart till it bleedsas we run towards the end of the dream
Why must we fall apartto understand how to flyI will find a wayeven without wingsFollow your heart till it bleedsas we run towards the end of the dreamFollow your heart till it bleedsand we’ve come to the end of the dream
E N D O F T H E D r E A M
I’ve been believing in something so distant as if I was human
And I’ve been denying this feeling of hopelessnessin me, in me
All the promises I madejust to let you down
You believed in me but I’m broken
I have nothing leftand all I feel is this cruel wanting
We’ve been falling for all this timeand now I’m lost in paradise
As much as I’d like the past not to existit still does
And as much as I’d like to feel like I belong hereI’m just as scared as you
I have nothing leftand all I feel is this cruel wantingWe’ve been falling for all this timeand now I’m lost in paradise
Run away, run awayOne day we wont feel this pain anymoreTake it all away, shadows of youcause they wont let me go
till I have nothing leftand all I feel is this cruel wantingWe’ve been falling for all this timeand now I’m lost in paradise
Alone and lost in paradise
L O S T I N P A r A D I S E
Don’t want to be the one to walk awaybut I can’t bear the thought of one more day
I think I finally understand what it means to be lost
Can’t find the road to lead us out of thisa million miles from where we burned the bridge
Can’t keep pretending everything’s gonna be alrightwith the whole world falling around me
Cross the oceans in my mindFind the strength to say goodbye
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
Fallen so far from where we were beforeYou’ll never find what you’ve been searching for
Someone to fill the void and make up for all of those missing pieces of you
like I could only dream to do
Cross the oceans in my mindFind the strength to say goodbyeEverything that we believed in was a lieCross the oceans in your mindFind a way to blur the lineIn the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
And we never learnso we fall down againheaven help me find a way to dream within this nightmare
Cross the oceans in my mindFind the strength to say goodbyeEverything that we believed in was a lieCross the oceans in your mindFind a way to blur the lineIn the end you never can wash the blood from your hands
O C E A N S
Way down, I’ve been way downunderneath this skin
waiting to hear my name again
I’m sorrynothing can hold me
I adore you stillbut I hear them calling
and nothing can hold me
Way down, all the way downI will hear your voice
but I’ll no longer understand
I’m sorrynothing can hold me
I adore you stillbut I hear them calling
I was looking to the sky when I knew I’d be swimming homeand I cannot betray my kindThey are hereit’s my time
I’m sorrynothing can hold meI adore you stillbut I hear them callingand nothing can hold me
S W I M M I N G H O M E
Everything is so dark and I know there’s something wrong but I can’t turn the light on
In that split second changewhen you knew we couldn’t hold on I realized
I live to love you
Save yourselfDon’t look back
Tearing us apart until it’s all goneThe only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the waves
but I remember
I won’t give up on youI can feel you in my heart just show me the way
I don’t belong here aloneI can still see your face
where it’s burned into my mind I die every time I close my eyes
you’re always there
Save yourselfDon’t look backTearing us apart until it’s all goneThe only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the wavesBut I’m the one who’s drowningWithout your love I am lostand I can never go back home
All across the oceanWe are calling, callingAre you thereNothing left for me till I find you because it’s all goneThe only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the wavesBut I’m the one who’s drowningWithout your love I am lostand I can never go back home
N E v E r G O B A C k
Serve your twisted enemyso you might earn forgiveness
You know your whole world is waitingso why can’t you speak?
I feel it coming over meI’m still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everythingor just a new way to bleed
So go and tell all your friends that I’m a failure underneathif it makes you feel like a bigger man
But its my heart, my life that you’re calling a lieI’ve played this game before
and I can’t take anymore
I feel it coming over meI’m still a slave to these dreamsIs this the end of everythingor just a new way to bleed
by drifting far beyond the edgefreedom, freedom can’t you feel the ground caving in?freedom, give us a reason to believe again
I feel it coming over meI’m still a slave to these dreamsIs this the end of everythingor just a new way to bleed
N E W W A Y T O B L E E D
Hollow, like you don’t remember meUnderneath everything I guess I always dreamed
that I would be the one to take you away from all this wasted painbut I can’t save you from yourself
Don’t you want to feelDon’t you want to live your life
How much longer are you gonna give into the fearHolding you down until you’re frozen
I can’t let you fall apartYou don’t even know what you’ve done to me
but I would be the one to take you away from all this wasted painIf you could just wake up
Don’t you want to feelDon’t you want to live your life
How much longer are you gonna give into the fearHolding you down until you’re
All aloneAll alone and drowning in your pastTake it backTake it back I still believe you can
Don’t you want to feelDon’t you want to live your lifeHow much longer are you gonna give into the fearI can’t go on pretending so give me something realNo one in your way but youHow much longer are you gonna give into the fearHolding you down till you disappear
D I S A P P E A r
It’s taking you too long to decideand I don’t want to be the one, the one
crying over wasted timeIf you think you’re strong enough to let me in
then come on, stand up and be honest
I’m tired of feeling so alone cause you won’t let me understand
I don’t want to pretendI want to feel, I want to live
Say you will or say you wontopen your heart to me
Now or never tell the truthIs this real, is this real?
Whenever you’re around I can’t fight itYou get under my skin in a way that I like it
and I can’t take anymoreTell me what you want from me or leave me alone
cause I’m all caught up and I’m losing control
I’m tired of holding on so tightwhen you won’t let me understand
Now I’m falling apart
I never meant to lose myself
Say you will or say you wontopen your heart to meNow or never tell the truthIs this real, is this real?Say you will or say you wontopen your heart to meNow or never tell the truthIs this real, is this real?
Like drops of rain against my heartcut through like silverand I want to make you feel that wayand I want to make you feel the way that I do
Say you will or say you wontopen your heart to meNow or never tell the truthIs this real?Say you will or say you wontopen your heart to meNow or never tell the truthIs this real, is this real?

Turn out the lightsFeed the fire till my soul breaks free
My heart is high as the waves above meDon’t need to understand
Too lost to loseDon’t fight my tears cause they feel so good
And II will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mindFollow my love back through the same secret door
Look past the endIt’s a dream, as it’s always beenAll life lives on if we’ve ever loved it
And I I will remember how to flyUnlock the heavens in my mindFollow my love back through the same secret door
