The blues have wrapped their arms Oh how I wish it was you instead That I knew better than those around me But something changed along the way And you're the reason I'm wanting to stay I can't turn my back and leave you After all you've done for me

Yeah you got my back against the wall I said you got me where you want me again And I can't turn away I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin' like a fool I'm stuck here in-between The shadows of my yesterday I want to get away I need to get away Now you

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying Just living proof that the camera's lying And oh, oh open wide You can't turn back Because this road is all you'll ever have 'Cause you'll go out in style You'll go out in style Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess

It's like one step forward and two steps back No matter what I do you're always mad Maybe we're not meant to be And I, I can't change your mind I know it's like trying to turn around on a one way street I can't give you what you want And it's killing me

Don't hold back your love I know what it's like to be forgotten Left alone with your simple dreams But even dreams are fading fast No one to turn to when you can't sleep at night Waking up to another day that will soon be over And if you think that time

We're building it up We can't wait To burn it to the ground And you were there at the turn To break it back down To burn it down And fan the flames As your blazes burn Waiting to let me know

You're gorgeous You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have You're so gorgeous You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad You should take it as a compliment And I'm so furious At you for making me feel

Come on, come on don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back, now I'm haunted You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time

This is the start of the ending Check mate, there's no defending When it's over, it's over, it's over I'm watching all the moves you make Can't turn back now, it's too late I'm counting all of your mistakes Caught up in a crossfire hurricane Wish I could

Come on, come on don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted Can't turn back, now I'm haunted
