1. The Critic - (4:14)
So what if what I say
so what if what I do
isn't what you wanted too
that doesn't justify you
tearing me down
with all that you say
it seems you only live
to doubt my every move
pretending like you always knew
but I don't care if you don't
like what you see
cause I'll do as I please
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
No matter where I am
no matter where I go
you never can leave me alone
you might as well just tell me
you're wasting your time
cause you're going to fail
and now I finally know
and now I finally see
the reason why you couldn't be
the person that you dreamed of
you gave it all up
well I won't do the same
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same, no
Leave me alone
I need more than room to grow
cause we're not the same
you treat my life like it's a game
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same
we're not the same
2. Never Saw It Coming - (3:21)
All of the things
that happened just so I can be here
who's pulling the strings?
do I have company?
cause I'd like to think
that I'm in control of my own destiny
all of the signs begin to point the other way
And who would have known
that I'd be standing right here next to you
cause I never saw it coming
and who would have known
that I'd get control of things I do
all the could have should haves
never would have happened anyway
Maybe it's me
or maybe there's something more to it
I believe what I see
cause seeing is believing
and I'd like to think
that I'm in control of when and how I go
what if I stepped outside
and I got blown away
And who would have known
that I'd be standing right here next to you
cause I never saw it coming
and who would have known
that I'd get control of things I do
all the could have should haves
never would have happened me
all the could have should haves
never would have happened anyway
Happened anyway
happened anyway
I never saw it coming
I never saw it coming
(happened anyway)
I never saw it coming
I never saw it coming
all the could have should haves
never would have happened to me
all the could have should haves
never would have happened
Who would have known
that I'd be standing right here next to you
cause I never saw it coming
and who would have known
that I'd get control of things I do
all the could have should haves
never would have happened me
and now I know that everything
that's going on around me
is meant to be
they're gonna happen anyway
3. Open Your Eyes - (3:46)
You want what you deserve
but it's right in front of you
you want something better
then any other
you don't even bother
to figure what it is
that you think you deserve
you'll find it all one day
but not this way
Open your eyes
your heart will follow
open your eyes
see what you've been missing
open your eyes
and find the answer
I can't take anymore
have you ever asked yourself
what am I looking for?
you're indecisive
you are just another
caught up in all of this
plastic glamorous world
you'll never see
who you could be
Open your eyes
you're heart will follow
open your eyes
see what you've been missing
open your eyes
and find the answer
Your world is waiting, anticipating,
but your time is fading,
if you never open your eyes
If only you could see,
that there is something you can do,
to make this better
Open your eyes
you're heart will follow
open your eyes
see what you've been missing
open your eyes
and find the answer
You're world is waiting, anticipating,
but your time is fading,
if you never open your eyes
4. Running Away (Acoustic) - (3:01)
I don't want you to give it all up
and leave your own life collecting dust
and I don't want you to feel sorry for me
you never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
and tell me that everything's all right
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
why are you running away?
I did enough to show you that I
was willing to give and sacrifice
and I was the one who was lifting you up
when you thought your life had had enough
and when I get close you turn away,
there's nothing that I can do or say
so now I need you to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
why are you running away?
Is it me? Is it you?
nothing that I can do
to make you change your mind
Is it me? Is it you?
nothing that I can do
is it a waste of time?
Is it me? Is it you?
nothing that I can do
to make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
why are you running away?
(what is it I have to say?)
so why are you running away?
(to make you admit you're afraid)
why are you running away?
5. Up And Gone (Acoustic) - (3:20)
Staring at the white above
can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead?
or is it in my head?
(where'd I go wrong?)
Staring at the white above
one day I closed my eyes
and here I am
a cold unhappy man
I've come to realize the life I have
I hate, the pulse I need is slowly fading
until I've lost it all
I've been waiting for an inspiration
for a chance I never got to take
before it's much too late
(where'd I go wrong?)
Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away
It feels as if the boy in me
has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
approach him slow, don't be afraid to say
"can he come out and play?"
(where'd I go wrong?)
Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away
Staring at the sky above
I've found a chance I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes
(where'd I go wrong?)
Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
(where'd I go wrong?)
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away
(where'd I go wrong?)
6. Crawling In The Dark (Acoustic) - (3:09)
I will dedicate and sacrifice my every-thing
for just a seconds worth of how my story's ending
and I wish I could know if the directions that I take
and all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
is there something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
Help me carry on
assure me it's ok to
use my heart and not my eyes
to navigate the darkness
will the ending be
ever coming suddenly?
will I ever get to see
the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
is there something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go? (have to go)
and how much longer until I finally know? (finally know)
cause I am looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
in front of me
Show me what it's for
make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
is there something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
7. Ready For You (Acoustic) - (2:58)
Go on, make me feel it's useless
when in fact it's you that needs to have me near
so now, keep me at safe distance
and with a little persistence
I'll make it crystal clear
That I'll be around
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
I'll be around
what else am I supposed to do
so when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
Now you seem to be content with
a one sided of friendship
with you I've got to chase
slow down,
so I can smell the roses
but the road you've chose
is crooked and unpaved
Cause I'll be around
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
I'll be around
what else am I supposed to do
when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
Cause I'll be around
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
I'll be around
what else am I supposed to do
when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'll be around,
only if you want me to
be there by your side
I'm ready for you
don't be afraid
I know what you're going through
so when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
