Run away when you are down.
Pick up the pace cause you fear the sound of mistakes
that are getting closer every time.
Time is catching up to you.
You keep on trying to escape your problems,
but problems keep on catching you.
You should try to turn the other way and escape your lies.
You run with no direction,
can you find direction now?
Say when you'll never change,
I'm hoping that you'll say.
But I doubt it will come,
and I doubt it will stay,
and I doubt if you want me anyway.
Can you find direction now?

Easy way out You said so yourself
I always took the easy way out
but you can't see me coming down when you're jumping ship.
I thought we wanted more,
I guess I was wrong.
You can't take the easy way out,
it's not that easy now.
You can't take that easy way,
and you'll think I'll stay,
but like the years,
I'm drifting away.
You said so yourself, this time,
I won't take the easy way out.
The truth is what I'm all about.
But I should have known,

You dream to waste too long, been counting on those you knew as friends.
Just to see them turn and plot and fall before you.
The sacrifice of life for them you'd make but now you know as lies,
just replace yourself with those who feel the same way that you do.
When you think that life has done you wrong,
pushed you down enough, don't shake your head and say o.k.
Because if you think my life is yours to wrong-then call me on my bluff,
and you'll turn and run away.
The pain behind my eyes was recognized from the time you came to me.
But cigarettes can cloud my mind for only just so long.
To disrespect my intellect through ways and means you can't confuse.
It breaks my heart and it tears me up inside.
I should have learned not to sacrifice myself.
Don't fall beneath me.
I should have learned not to contradict myself.
Don't crawl beneath me.
But now I've learned to see myself with someone else.
You say its o.k. for me to want to,
you tell me its alright for me to be sad.

Tearing pictures of the wall,
you took the fall from truth so everyone could see that you don't live your life
for me.
You live for you and there's nothing I can do,
but try to climb out the trenches I've dug cause I can't see underground.
I'm not saying that I understand what it's like to be living in spite,
but five years from now it'll all seem so trite.

Step outside and listen.
As you cut through the tension,
the world is crumbling down around you-it's found you.
When you woke up yesterday,
there was nothing left for me to say to you
because you wanted me to be true.
When all you feel is pain,
ands somehow things have changed I'll be coming home to you.
When I forgot to call,
you knew it all,
it was coming down on you.
Will you still be waiting,
that's something I can't ask you to be.
Will you be still waiting for me?
I'm waiting for you and something is wrong,
but I just can't put my finger on it.
You never listened and you'll never listen now,
you know what I'm about,
but is that sufficient?
Do you hear the words I say?
It hurts when you talk that way.
You say you'll listen cause you'd like to live together lives,
but come on,
you could have any other boy to take my place and hold when you're feeling
alone.
How can you say that I'm supposed to stay when you talk on to me that way?
Oh come on.
I can't see what's supposed to be,
but if you trust me it might turn ok.
