Expectations 04:39
i've got expectations but they only cause me pain (it's such a dirty game, it's such a dirty game) i breathe in slowly, inhaling only time (it's always on my mind, it's always on my mind) i try to break free from what is keeping me in line (it's always on my mind, it's always on my mind) i've been wasting all this time (thinking ahead) and i think that i am fine (breathe instead) but i'm only right now (let it go) i'm only right now please, let it go it won't happen like that stop worrying time does not go that fast you've got expectations, i can see them in your smile (it will only last awhile, it will only last awhile) you feel you have it all, yeah you feel you have it all (there is nothing to have, there is nothing to have) hold on to what you are (never let go, never let go) i've been wasting all this time (thinking ahead) and i think that i am fine (breathe instead) but i'm only right now (let it go) i'm only right now please, let it go it won't happen like that stop worrying time does not go that fast. . .

Window 04:18
when I go to bed at night I hear your voice through my window but when your voice isn't there I can't fall asleep at all, love wander out on frozen ground and now the town has all been closed down and you're not here but now there's nothing left to fear when I've done something wrong your quiet whisper in my ear and you're not fine don't tell me fine I can see right through your clear windowpanes the sound you hear when you're alone is not my voice it's just the dial tone and I'm not there sometimes it seems that you don't care at all why don't you care it just seems like that's not fair! you're standing there ignoring truth while sirens blare why can't you find it in yourself to spend some time with me?

if you're feeling down, look around you a different point of view, you're not alone if you're feeling down, take a breath if you're feeling down, take a breath no one's the best all these people act like they know more than you but these people are lost and lonely too if you're hurting inside, let me know if you're hurting inside, let me know together we'll find hope

Forget 04:37
i remember waking in september i said, "i can't forget the months behind" i remember sleeping through december just to keep my peace of mind now i know to always hold on to the people who love you and make things right and i won't back down until i find that sunny place where i once was i know i never can forget this now, forget this now i know i never can forget this now, forget this now time goes and no one seems to know i remember waking in september i said, "i can't forget the months behind" i remember waking in december just to find my peace of mind now i know to let the moment sink in and let your love begin before it's too late i won't back down until i find that sunny place where i once was i know i never can forget this now, forget this now i know i never can forget this now, forget this now time goes and no one seems to know i know i never can forget this now, forget this now i know i never can forget this now, forget this now

you say happiness is fading setting like a sun i say "don't put your faith in possessions or you will die like one, like one, like one" i wake up each day in this bed that i've borrowed i kick and turn and stretch to find my place in this world ah hell, sometimes it's hard just to get out of bed but i'm not giving up, no not yet, not yet no not today, no not today i know you are hurting i can feel it too you say that you are growing too fast dying too soon, too soon, too soon i wake up each day in this bed that i've borrowed i kick and turn and stretch to find my place in this world ah hell, sometimes it's hard just to get out of bed but i'm not giving up, not yet, not yet i wake up each day in this bed that i've borrowed i kick and scream and turn to find my place in this world ah hell, sometimes it's hard just to get out of bed but i'm not giving up, no not today, not today i'm not giving up, not today, not today

Green Tea 04:13
stop and watch the snow falling it builds gradually to let you know time is strong, it drags you along sometimes it's hard to find solid ground just follow the sound i can see the worry deep in your eyes the tears rolling are no surprise you are hurt, you're falling apart sometimes it's hard to find solid ground just follow the sound time is strong, it drags you along sometimes it's hard to find solid ground so just find this moment this moment...

maybe you've had enough of me something inside you struggles free you're addicted to changing all the things that we have known now I'm all alone don't give up on me don't give up on me if you knew the insides of my soul you'd see my heart has not been alright night takes the sun and we lose light you've been saying some strange things I don't wanna believe that you've known all along you knew that this day would come I'll leave you alone tonight I'll leave you alone tonight I'll cry in bed and keep my lips shut tight I can get you to change if I keep hinting that I'm dying inside no it won't be alright I'll never give up on you I'll never give up on you I'll never be able to tell you what to do and I don't need to but baby I want to

I'm in the room playing songs to the beat of the ekg the song's getting slower it was my last resort of everything I thought I could save you The night is cold out there but I don't feel a thing the warmth and feeling you were always sure to bring is lost and now I hate it that I loved you too much I"m in the park throwing seeds on the grass hoping one day your soul will grow green one long year of dark, the sun won't show I thought I could bring you back it's hard to look at stars through your broken glass and as the crowd comes in to judge you on your past I'm crushed cause no one knows that I could love you so much I never meant to let you die

take your time and run away like you still can i'm trying to save you take your time and hold it tight while you still can i'm trying to save you (i am dying i am growing i am dying i am growing) time goes on we grow older i am growing dying always finding what is right and never letting go if you are out of control I know just where to take you take you home (i am dying i am growing i am dying i am growing) time goes on we grow older
