Change in the air And they'll hide everywhere And no one knows who's in control Repress and restrain Still the pressure and the pain Wash the blood off your hands This time she won't understand You're working so hard And you're never in charge

I can't understand why I've been put here I'm stuck in a world of sympathy With nobody watching over me To all those not living in the here and now And the words roll over and over Yet our hearts will never be lifted Where did they go? The days we used

So dry your weeping eyes I will never leave, no I don't never want to hear you say that again Baby I'm not going nowhere Look at me, you understand me? Now, what gave you the silly idea that I'm about to leave Girl who you been listening to? They must be

There's a man on the corner Begging for help There's a man that walks past him And he's drowning in wealth Who doesn't understand How disappointment destroys the soul Every look of shame Is a wound that will never heal What has he done to deserve this

I found out what it takes to be a man Now mom and dad will never understand Seventeen and strung out on confusion Trapped inside a roll of disillusion Secrets collecting dust but never forget Skeletons come to life in my closet What's happening to me

It's not easy To say goodbye I wanted you for life You and me in the wind I never thought there'd come a time That our story would end It's hard to understand But I guess I'll have to try

Every part of me Maybe I will never be Who I was before Maybe I don't know her anymore Maybe who I am today Ain't so far from yesterday Can I find a way to be How it's gonna be I wanna understand

It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Now don't you understand I'm never changing who I am I don't ever want to let you down I don't ever want to leave this town 'Cause after all This city

I never seem to understand The time, the place and who I am It's like I'm living a lie Don't keep it from me This is a free fall Define a way to stay alive Mirror mirror How far will I go? Despite the foundation, I am falling

Can make me feel The world can disappear Make my heart heal And make it oh so clear We can talk in circles Going round in a million ways And never understand 'Cause our words are whispers
