Look at what I have become I am now a man with nothing to his name I'm gonna pack my bags and go To a place where I can start a new life I'm sick of this town and the Job that I have and the People who want me to change Dear Mother, dear Brother, Dear Sister, dear lover, I'm sorry, I'm leaving this town I've become a bit homesick And I'll admit I miss the love that I once had Should I say or should I go Back to the place where all my friends and family are? But i'm sick of that town and the Job that I had and the People who want me to change Dear Mother, dear Brother, Dear Sister, dead lover, I'm sorry, I'm not coming back Sick of it all Now, It's been so long Since I've been back in this town But, I will be back in my home Where all of my friends and family are But i'm sick of this town and the Job that I have and the People who want me to change Dear Mother, dear Brother, Dear Sister, dear lover, I'm sorry, I'm that I left this town

I finally see the truth, you're just another dead end I really thought that you and I could just be friends But as the time ticked on and we grew apart I had to make a plan that you're no longer of And I guess its time I told you all the truth I thought I loved a girl but it was infatuation And I was such a fool to fall under her grasp But now I learned my lesson, don't let anyone in I can't take anymore of this You're just a memory from the past I tried to reason with you but You just cant hide the truth Don't make a promise you cant keep Cus I can see right through all your lies I tried to reason with you but You just cant hide the truth And its been a couple of years and I don't miss you at all If you ever thought I would well then you thought wrong And me being with you was definitely one Of the worst mistakes that I could've ever done So don't you dare come back and ask me to Forgive for all the bullshit you put me through Cus you should know by now that I never would Give another fucking chance to somebody like you I can't take anymore of this You're just a memory from the past I tried to reason with you but You just cant hide the truth Don't make a promise you cant keep Cus I can see right through all your lies I tried to reason with you but You just cant hide the truth

Why did you have to go to fight for our rights and freedom? And sacrifice your life so that we could live in peace? You cross my mind each day I should've stopped you from walking out of our door Now I live with the regret As the years go by, I get lonelier each day I walk to your tomb, so I could be with you I just want to know, why did you have to go? I gave you all my love, and I gave you all my life I gave it all for you, but you're no longer here The countless memories of the days I spent with you Those were the best days of my life I tried to live my life, to find somebody new But no one could compare to the person that you were I look at our photograph so I don't forget your face You're the only one I loved, but it just wasn't enough It's been 10 years to the day and I still miss you, dear I hope that you're in heaven With the angels by your side I just want to know, why did you have to go? I gave you all my love, and I gave you all my life I gave it all for you, but you're no longer here The countless memories of the days I spent with you Those were the best days of my life Now the time has come that I see you again I've waited for so long, now I'll be with you again I'm finally here with you An eternity of love, til' death do us part In heaven or in hell My days of grief are gone, i'm finally here with you Thank you, God For protecting my true love

Suck 02:54
You pretend like we never were something You told a lie, and broke down in your face You said you love me, but all I have to say is THIS SONG FUCKING SUCKS Now lets be honest here, this song was about a girl But halfway through it I decided to change the words Now I don't even know what the fuck i'm singing Man, this song really fucking sucks I'm literally ripping blink-182 Man, this song really fucking sucks I'm also ripping of Green Day To be honest, I wrote this song back in grade 9 It makes no fucking sense so i'm just winging the lyrics You said you love me, but all I have to say is THIS SONG FUCKING SUCKS Now lets be honest here, this song was about a girl But halfway through it I decided to change the words Now I don't even know what the fuck i'm singing Man, this song really fucking sucks I'm literally ripping blink-182 Man, this song really fucking sucks I'm also ripping of Green Day

I see you from the corner of my eye (x2) Walking down the street, to see you where we meet And all that comes to mind are the memories that we keep See you in the halls surrounded by the walls And I wish that we could talk, but I just don't have the guts Days go by You pass by Time will fly Until you're mine Even though you're gone, I've been through hell and back And after everything, I'll still be here right by your side Even though it hurts, time will heal the pain After everything, I'll still be here right by your side A day or two ago, I wrote these words to you "You're the only girl that ever tried and gave a damn" Maybe its for the best to put us to test To see if we could last or end up just like the rest Days go by You pass by Time will fly Until you're mine After all the fights, regrets and consequence After everything, I'll still be here right by your side Maybe it's for the best for us to just be friends But after everything, I'll still be here right by your side But then I start to wonder if you're even worth my time You left me in the dark when I needed you the most And I still remember the night when I took you on our very first date And ever since that night I knew That I loved you Days go by You pass by Time will fly Until you're mine I see you from the corner of my eye (x2) I'll always be standing right by your side (2x) I'll always be (x3) Standing by your side

I can't live my life without you by my side Day by day as time goes by I see a bright future in your eyes And it saddens me how the pain has got the best of you So i'll pray that one day you'll be whole again I hope one day you'll be whole again I will defend you til' the very end I will do my best to treat you well You don't have to do this alone The burden invested in you Is the burden invested in me I will carry it til' we grow old I will carry it til' we grow strong The burden invested in you Is the burden invested in me I will defend you til' the very end I won't let them break you down You lust the love that you never had And I pray to God that you will find The one who'll show you what true love is The one who'll defend you til' the day they die Please don't cry as I let you go This wont be our final goodbye Because one day we will meet again And when that day comes, I wont let you go I hope one day you'll be whole again I will defend you til' the very end I will do my best to treat you well You don't have to do this alone The burden invested in you Is the burden invested in me I will carry it til' we grow old I will carry it til' we grow strong The burden invested in you Is the burden invested in me I will defend you til' the very end I won't let them break you down You took the blade to numb the pain You took the drugs to feel okay But even so, you're perfect to me You say you're a mess and deserve no one But I know that is not the truth You'll be okay Now you're gone, and I think of you You took a piece of me with you back home Now I've fallen, and I cant let go I miss you dearly, and it starts to show That my love for you is bulletproof And even though you're miles away I will do my best to wait for the day The day I hold you in my arms again I hope one day you'll be whole again I will defend you til' the very end I will do my best to treat you well You don't have to do this alone The burden invested in you Is the burden invested in me I will carry it til' we grow old I will carry it til' we grow strong The burden invested in you Is the burden invested in me I will defend you til' the very end I won't let them break you down

One & Only 04:26
Dear old lover You were my one and only My better half The first girl who was able to show me That somebody could care That I have a purpose in life Now I guess I gotta be honest I have to say what was left unsaid I know that I fucked up I know that I hurt you and I broke my own promise Just listen to what I have to say On that night in November when we first kissed I felt something that I never felt before Did you ever feel the same? Dear old lover It's been a long time since have talked about our old memories Both the good and the bad, so now I ask If there is a chance that we could be The one thing that we used to be Back when we were just 17 Back to the good old days And it's been about a year since we last spoke You have moved on, and i'm alone I can't complain, it's all my fault But I still have hope that we could try Again just to see how long it lasts And try to figure out if its meant to be Is this love? Is it clear to see? Am I doing the right thing? On the night of my prom at the end of June I should have been honest and told you the truth But now I will live with regret Dear old lover It's been a long time since have talked about our old memories Both the good and the bad, so now I ask If there is a chance that we could be The one thing that we used to be Back when we were just 17 Back to the good old days But now that you're gone with someone else Deep down inside, it's killing me It's killing me Maybe we should only be friends But deep down inside, it's killing me It's killing me Dear old lover You were my one and only You were my better half The first girl who was able to show me That somebody could care That I have a purpose in this life, I do But now I ask If there is a chance that we could be The one thing that we used to be Back when we were just 17 Back to the good old days

Hello, it's me I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet To go over everything They say that time's supposed to heal ya But I ain't done much healing Hello, can you hear me? I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be When we were younger and free I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet There's such a difference between us And a million miles Hello from the other side I must have called a thousand times To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done But when I call you never seem to be home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I've tried To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore Hello, how are you? It's so typical of me to talk about myself. I'm sorry I hope that you're well Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened? it's no secret that the both of us Are running out of time Hello from the other side I must have called a thousand times To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done But when I call you never seem to be home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I've tried To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Back again to the place where it all began A journey that turned me into a man I still tend to miss this place somedays No turning back, gotta face whats ahead of me Take the path, do whats right, be a better man I just don't feel like a grown up yet But now, I have to live my life and grow The time has come for me to walk alone But I dwell on the past While I live in the present But it's time to look forward to the future I am no longer the kid that I was back in high school I will become the grown up that i'm meant to be I've learned a lot since I dropped out of college The real world is not like they make it to be I wish I could go back to being a kid I go to work here and there just to make money WHAT ARE THOSE!? Fuck Skechers, i'd rather teach This isn't what I thought my life would be But now, I have to live my life and grow The time has come for me to walk alone But I dwell on the past While I live in the present But it's time to look forward to the future I am no longer the kid that I was back in high school I will become the grown up that i'm meant to be Nobody's gonna stop me now I'll do what I want to do Everybody's gonna hear me now I'll take over this world Take over the world (x2)
