I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two If Happy Ever Afters did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairy tales are full

I'll set you free if you follow me The hope is still not gone Somewhere behind the clouds Reach out touch the hand of God How far until the edge? These wrong ways are mine But the whole world can just go to hell This life is killing me My feelings inside

It's a last resort And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone, Don't talk to strangers, And don't walk into danger. Oh you go to sleep on your own, Don't talk to strangers. Oh, in the strangest dreams, walking by your side It

I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes Can you hear the desperate cries that are calling out your name? Twisting your arms, holding out

I just keep on wishin' that the money made you stay You ain't never cared about that bullshit anyway You know I would throw it all away All this stuntin' couldn't satisfy my soul Got a hundred big faces, but I'm still alone Ayy, I would throw it all away

Looking back I still have so many questions So many things unanswered Like what did I do? What could I do? Was there ever a moment you cared? Or was I always ugly and abandoned Remember all the times you wished me harm You wished me dead How could I have

So listen, oh Oh, you oughta spare your face the razor Because no one's gonna spare the time for you Morning's come you watch the red sun rise The LED still flickers in your eyes No one's gonna watch you as you go From a house you didn't build and can't

The saints are coming I say no matter how I try I realize there's no reply How long now? I cried to my daddy on the telephone The line went But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent There is a house in New Orleans They call the risin'

How are you still holding on? One day it's here and then it's gone On your own Through the eyes of someone else You and everybody else What's it all about You've felt this way for far too long Waiting for a change to come You know you're not the only one

Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? You only love to see me breaking You only want me 'cause I'm taken You don't really want my heart No, you just like to know you can Still be the one who gets it breaking You only want me when I'm taken Now
