Barter and trade always passive aggressive In spite of who you say you are Smother my name under soil & dirt In the earth Widen the distance apart Fuck an apology, I’m not sorry for anything I’ve been holding back my apathy for far too long You don’t deserve what you haven’t earned And your place in my heart has just grown so small
I’d like to think that you’re worth my time But you embody everything that I hate Take a good hard look at what you see I’ve lost all my hope and all my faith Cause when I barely fuck up you just recoil and weep What do you want from me? I’m just a kid who got in too deep My walls are built up high forever bound to be steep I’ve got a birds eye view of all the secrets you keep
Try to tell me that you knew from the start That I would come to know that most would never enter my heart Because I’m colder than the others [. From: http://www.elyrics.net .] It’s what sets me apart You manipulate and try to shine a light on my dark But this is my life. You should bounce & never call again No more strife. Go find it in the souls of the other men You know you’re not as smart as you look I’m gonna take back what you took

I’m just a kid who got in too deep My walls are built up high forever bound to be steep I’ve got a birds eye view of all the secrets you keep
You know you’re not as smart as you look I’m going to take back what you took And you didn’t know shit from the start
Living like a captive in my home Feeling sorry for myself, petrified to be alone You showed up and then you said to me hey boy, It’s time to stop singing, it’s time to start living It’s not much but all we’ve got, is each other
We are bitter broken people, but at least we keep each other company In a world where we’re trained to disagree And you never fail to mention, you’re a loner and a liar To find my heart, buried beneath the lost cause I used to be
I’m a wreck, and she’s a mess Anything is better than this loneliness And then she said to me hey boy It’s time to stop giving, it’s time to stop hanging on It’s not much but all we’ve got, is each other
We are bitter broken people, but at least we keep each other company In a world where we’re trained to disagree And you never fail to mention, you’re a loner and a liar To find my heart, buried beneath the lost cause I used to be

As soon as I let decide to open up again I scare the person away. Or more appropriately maybe I just chosen the wrong person at the wrong time.
I understand the apprehension, but it really hurts when your being misunderstood and feeling like you where never really given a chance. Its life I guess.
I really went the extra mile this time. Its tempting to want to give up and get angry and bitter, try to just cover everything up with anger and mistrust, but I’m too old for that.
You never meant to hurt me your just dealing with all the mistrust and hell you’ve been put through the best way you known how. I really was ready to put myself through whatever you could throw at me, really and truthfully be there for you, like I wasn’t before. I was ready to except you for who you are and help you feel less alone, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.
And while it does really hurt to let it go, if that’s what you need, that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Believe me when I say
that there will always be cold days,
but the grass is only greener here if you plant it that way.
You can lock yourself away,
give up, forget, go back to sleep,
or you can realize that there is so much more to life than yesterday.
I don’t need a life preserver to keep my head above the waves,
no matter where the current takes me.
I want to find out what it means to walk an even plane
where I don’t need a pacifier to keep my wits about me
I’m writing the letters on the wall
to remind myself to get back up every time I fall.
And maybe just wading will save me,
and maybe the ebbing tide will suck me underneath.
And I’ve had so much trouble keeping all these worries from my head.
But I’ll keep swimming ‘til I’m dead.
I don’t need a life preserver to keep my head above the waves,
no matter where the current takes me.
Yeah I want to find out what it means to walk an even plane
where I don’t need a pacifier to keep my wits about me
to keep my wits about me
This is the day we all begin to let our fear go and learn to swim
This is the day we all begin to let our fear go
Believe me when I say
that there will always be cold days,
but the grass is only greener here if you plant it that way.
