A DAY TO REMEMBER LYRICS

1. Sticks & Bricks

I am fueled by all forms of failure
I paid the price
So, I'll take what's mine!

Bet ya didn't see that one comin'
Cause I do as I please
And apologize for nothing.
My time is flying
But I'm still second to none.
Always shining the brightest
When I'm placed under the gun.
So here I stand,
The only son of a working class man
I won't be held back
I can't be held down

Where were you
When my walls came falling down?
You tried to hide
You stood close by
And didn't make a sound!

(Say something!)

Find you some paper
And I'll go grab you a pen
You can start taking notes
On how this all started again.
Been dead last but found my way to the front
With my inspirational quotes on why
I never gave up!

Where were you
When my walls came falling down?
(When you falling down)
You tried to hide
You stood close by
And didn't make a sound!
Where were you
When it all came back around?
(Goes back around)
The reasons why you passed me by
Will always hold you down.

(Say something!)

If you can't stand the pressure
Stay the fuck out of my way!
I know my place!
This one goes out to everyone
Who's lied to my face!
MY HEART IS FILLED WITH HATE!

I'm making a difference,
I'm taking a chance.
You can say what you want about me
But no one can tell me I can't!

Where were you
When my walls came falling down?
(When you falling down)
You tried to hide
You stood close by
And didn't make a sound!
Where were you
When it all came back around?
(Goes back around)
The reasons why you passed me by
Will always hold you down.

SAY SOMETHING!!

2. All I Want

I'm always screaming my lungs out
till my head starts spinning.
Playing my songs is the way
I cope with life. Won't keep my voice down.
Know the words I speak are the thoughts
I think out loud.
I like to keep things honest.
I'm a safe bet like your life's
staked on it. For real.
I'd hate to keep you all wondering.
I'm constant like the seasons,
and I will never be forgotten man.

Let's leave no words unspoken
and save regrets for the broken.
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.

Keep your hopes up high and your head down low.

Still got something left to prove.
It tends to keep things movin.
While everyone around me
says my last days are looming
overhead but just what the hell
do they think they know?
I keep my head above the water
while they drown in the undertow.

Let's leave no words unspoken
and save regrets for the broken.
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.

All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.

If you take it from me,
live your life for yourself.
Cause when it's all said and done
you don't need anyone else.(come on)

So let's get back to when
everything seemed perfect.
Not a worry in the world,
so tell me was this all worth it?
I get what I want,
so everyones always judging me.
I'm not afraid of anything,
and I've got the whole world in front of me.

All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.

All I want is a place to call my own,
to mend the hearts of everyone
who feels alone (whoa)
You know to keep your hopes up high
and your head down low.

Keep your heads down low.
Keep your heads down low.
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low.

3. It's Complicated

Here we go again, another night of being bombed
I can tell myself I'll avoid this time and cancel plans with everyone
I know cause this is how it always ends
Our bond will break cause you can't relate to anyone, to anything at all
You brought your worst and I'm right here
Though I've seen it all and it's never been so clear

You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right 'cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen,
follow your friends like you ever had them

You still know me, still not cut out for this sort of thing
Never wanna be caught in between, I need constant reminders of everything
So what
It's who I am, I played it off so well I just hold it in no matter how I've been
So nobody, nobody can tell
You brought your worst and I'm right here
Though I've seen it all and it's never been so clear

You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen
You something your friends like you ever had them

I won't sleep till the break of dawn break of dawn (break of dawn)
I can't wear our problems from in here
So everybody come on

You brought your worst and I'm right here
and I've seen it all and it's never been so clear

You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen,
follow your friends like you ever had them

You're not the person that I knew back then
It's not too late to set this right cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen,
follow your friends like you ever had them

4. This Is The House That Doubt Built

Don't get me started on what it means to be alive
You're lying to yourself and yet still you act surprised
Cause you're scared and can't come to terms with what you are
The wolves in sheep's clothing will only lead you so far
You'll wait and they'll go cause in the end we all end up alone so just wait you'll know

Forget everything just for tonight we'll sing like everyone when they're alone
Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa

I rely on myself just making sure that was clear I'm not in need of your crutches
I've faced all my fears and I won what I knew I could have
Life is not a punch card make the best of what you have

But don't wait just go
And when you find yourself please let me know
It's not too late just let go

Forget everything just for tonight we'll sing like everyone when they're alone
Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa

Let's believe that if we all stand together we're a force that can shake the whole world
For once we're doing something right when we sing whoa, whoa

In the end it's not about what you have
In the end it's all about where you wanna go
And the roads you take to help you get there I hope you think that's fair

Cause you've only got one life to lead so don't take for granted those little things
Those little things are all that we have

Forget everything just for tonight we'll sing like everyone when they're alone
Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa

Let's believe that if we all stand together we're a force that can shake the whole world
For once we're doing something right when we sing whoa, whoa

(I say whoa whoa whoa whoa)

Can't forget everything

Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa, whoa

5. 2nd Sucks

You're afraid,
like I make my deals with the devil.
You've been at it for years
but couldn't reach that next level.
Let's keep it real,
this is no competition to me.
Even if everyone around you acts
like they don't see.

Is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
is what you'll always be.
I hold my cards to my chest.
I laid my life on the line
so I expect nothing less from you.

I speak the truth,
and everybody else knows it.
So set your ego to the side
and just get the fuck over it.
Can't waist my time
on hateful people like you.
So keep wishing you were me,
and I'll keep making you have to.

Is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
is what you'll always be.
I hold my cards to my chest.
I laid my life on the line
so I expect nothing less from you.

I just cant believe
its really come to this
because without me
you would not exist.

Hey hey
still got somethin left to say.
Only one in the world
I depend on is me.
I need nothin from no one
I take what I need.
Get ahold of yourself
and keep away from me.

Is anybody else listening?
Outta sight, outta mind
is what you'll always be.
I hold my cards to my chest.
I laid my life on the line
so I expect nothing less from you.

6. Better Off This Way

I wonder if you'll notice, if they lock me up and throw away the key
Gotta be open minded, you've got a lot to learn in the ways of me
you've always got to say something,
I'm none of your concern but you wont listen at all
you know I'd rather say nothing, and just be proud of myself
I'm tearing down these walls.
When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you can I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I've found a better way
to help keep you from me, I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
You gotta keep this coming, tell me like you know it
but you don't know nothing, your call.
We can settle this like gentlemen, or meet me at the back
to end it all inside again.
My whole life's been waiting, ever since I can remember
Been anxious awaiting your fall, and don't let me be a long while
Can't let go of my life till I know you're done.
When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you can I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I've found a better way
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
You Want It, You've got It
You've always been such a waste of tim
You Want It, You've got It
A friend of your's is no friend of mine
You Want It, You've got It
When will you act your age
You Want It, You've got It
You're the reason things have to change
Wo-oh [2x]
You're the reason things have to change
Wo-oh [2x]
When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you can I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I've found a better way
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [2x]
I'm better off this way

7. All Signs Point To Lauderdale

I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
2, 3, 4!
Remember when I tried?
I never strayed too far from you
Forever by your side
No matter what I was going through
But now I never know the things to say to you
That help me prove that I'm still on your side
I never show just what you do to me
Cause I'm what's always wrong
I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
I hate this town cause no one can understand
I just can't be tied down
Nothing comes between me and my plans
So now I never know the things to say to you
That help me prove that I'm still on your side
I never show just what you do to me
Cause I'm what's always wrong
I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
And don't believe a word they're telling to you
Don't believe a word they're telling to you
They let me down
When will I find where I fit in?
I hate this town
My world cannot ever bring me down
Gave everything I had to turn it back around
Cause our time's worth something bigger than both you and me
I can't live my life always backing down
I gotta do this right, then they can't make a sound
Cause I'm here for nothing, least I can say
I stand for something
You and me, we stand for something
I hate this town, it's so washed up
And all my friends don't give a fuck
They'll tell me that it's just bad luck
When will I find where I fit in?
And don't believe a word they're telling to you
Don't believe a word they're telling to you
They let me down
When will I find where I fit in?
I hate this town

8. You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic

I'm a mess that's the best way to describe it
I leave no time to myself the only way I can fight it
When I'm alone it's like I'm staring into a mirror
Don't know the person inside it and that's never been any clearer
I miss our family and I miss all my friends
If you had it to do over your do it over again
Cause I would, it means something more to me
There's a whole in my heart where you use to be

I still wish you the best of luck baby
And don't go thinking this was a waste of time
I couldn't forget you if I tried
You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words may be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of my past mistakes down inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life

I confess, that I brought this all on my self
Condemned to suffer alone, like there's nobody else
When your gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing
So I'll keep living the lie and just hope that your listening

I tried to make us a life here
But our foundation was built on sand
Now stop and run until the damage was done
And I've never had the upper hand

I still wish you the best of luck baby
And don't go thinking this was a waste of time
I couldn't forget you if I tried
You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words may be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of my past mistakes down inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life

All the things you love are all the things I hate
How did we get here in the first place?

All but your cold blood inside your mind (All my trust)
Is always burning inside of me (All the way)
I can't make any more progress I know I'll faint
The only thing that can heal this this time is space

You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words may be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of my past mistakes down inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life
For my whole life

9. Out Of Time

I've never felt so sober
I've never felt the way I feel tonight
Your words made everything drag on, and on
I finally found her, and when I did I just couldn't make things right
Is this really happening, oh god I think I just ruined my life

What the fuck am I doing?
I can't tell the difference from wrong and right
I can guess my decisions
cause I haven't been this person in my whole life
I think I need something new here
When I keep longing for what I had
No need for second opinions
I do the best I can to ruin what I have
come on

Don't think you've got to go in alone here
I've got nothing left to hide
your dying just make up your mind

I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we're running out of time

Something just from the new year
Hey, Hey, Hey
It's a moment that's not as bad
it's what's a part of my vision
The optimistic me, so we can make this last but no
You ruined my favorite records
By singing them then I think of you
That's just hope you remember
All of the guilt inside, and I believed in you for once

Don't think you've got to go in alone here
I've got nothing left to hide
Your time, just make up your mind

I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we're running out of time

Just know that it kills me
When I hear anything to do with you
You will see, oh believe me
I need to be right where you are
And know that I'm leaving, leaving
And you won't hear for a year from now
And this kills me.
Cause now I think that everything everything was about you

I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we're running out of time

Don't think you've got to go in alone here
I've got nothing left to hide
Your time, just make up your mind

10. If I Leave

Let's go!!!
In the beginning I was upfront
Nothing to think about, you'd always hear me out
We made a pact and never gave up, when everything would change we'd always stay the same
Something went wrong along the way, you come around and there's nothing left to say
Its like we're strangers anyway
What more could you ask of me

It's been a long time coming
But everyone's going to hear me out

If I leave bet you'll wish I stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now
If I leave this, if I leave this way

I've always been a man of action
Never let anything keep a hold of me
Could always tell when somethings missing
Like I knew everything, except for you and me
I can't make you want to stay

I still gave it everything, I guess I'll never catch my break

It's been a long time coming
But everyone's going to hear me now

If I leave bet you'll wish I stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now
You know that time can't help us now
If I leave I'll move away
And try to right all the wrongs we ever made
Won't let your problems weigh me down
If I leave this, if I leave this

Never thought I'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we would come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
I've come to terms with exactly what we are

Never thought I'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we'd come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
I've come to terms with exactly what we are

If I leave bet you'll wish I stayed
Make you regret all the things you said to me
You know that time can't help us now
You know that time can't help us now
If I leave I'll move away
And try to right all the wrongs we ever made
Won't let your problems weigh me down
If I leave this, if I leave this
Never thought I'd be the last one standing
Never thought that we would come this far
You'll always be there looking over my shoulder
I've come to terms with exactly what we are
If I leave this, if I leave this way
