Find A Way

I have been anticipating
That I finally start my dreams
But it just seems like lately
I have been just wasting away
They're always criticizing
About what I really love
Is this your way of being angry
Cause you'll never be truly happy
Just have faith, do what you were made to do
Don't let anybody bring you down
And If you can find a way
To leave from this place
Then I will run with a burning passion in my heart
When I can't stop singing, I can't keep waiting for all of this
And call this life our own
I have been under pressure
To follow everybody's path
But what's the point?
If I'm miserable for the rest of my life
Just have faith, do what you were made to do
Don't let anybody bring you down
And If you can find a way
To leave from this place
Then I will run with a burning passion in my heart
When I can't stop singing, I can't keep waiting for all of this
And call this life our own
We'll shine brighter than city lights
And northern skies, and burning stars (x2)
And If you can find a way
To leave from this place
Then I will run with a burning passion in my heart
When I can't stop singing, I can't keep waiting for all of this
And call this life our own

Losing Sleep

Have the rest of your lies shown, who you really are?
I'll be quiet and let you show your true colors
So the world can paint a picture of what you're made of
Keep him close to you before you lose it all
Cause I've been losing sleep since you left me
I'm sorry I was the only one who cared
You could of told me the story of how you fell for him
But instead you just left me broken
I forgot that you don't have the decency of humanity you just do whatever to please you
Keep your eyes wide open
For the moment when your life shakes and you can't hold on
You cannot hide from all of this now
Cause I've been losing sleep since you left me
I'm sorry I was the only one who cared
You could of told me the story of how you fell for him
But instead you just left me broken
I've been waiting forever for someone like you
I guess you were never worth a second of my time
I will always forgive you for everything eventually
But the next that you do this to somebody
else things will get interesting
Cause I've been losing sleep since you left me
I'm sorry I was the only one who cared
You could of told me the story of how you fell for him
But instead you just left me broken
I've been waiting forever for someone like you
I guess you were never worth a second of my time

Oh is this just me? Cause I’ve been thinking
About the world and how it works
Cause you see we hurt so easily, it’s going too far this time
Cause we’ve been so caught up in, filling these voids inside of us
But the truth is some can’t hold in, this pain any longer
This cannot go on any longer
We've been asking why is this just me?
We're crying out please save me now
Save me from this broken world
And oh can you now see?
What you're doing does more than what you think?
It's gone too far, to the point where we run in fear from where you are
Cause you aren't fully seeing
What this does effects our lives and how we live!
This cannot go on any longer
We've been asking why is this just me?
We're crying out please save me now
Save me from this broken world
Think about every action that you make
It could cause someone to want to leave this life
We've been captives to what they've said and done to us
It's not worth it to prison ourselves inside our minds
We're breaking out, We won't be slaves anymore
We broke the mold, It's finally time to live our lives
This cannot go on any longer
We've been asking why is this just me?
We're crying out please save me now
Save me from this broken world

I've been dreaming of a place
Where the stars collide and you and me will have much brighter days
And I've been dreaming of a place where the darkness shines
And you and me will forget all our pain
And all this time
I fell apart
From living life
And doing things my own way
Miserable and hopeless, I never thought that I could
Make it out
But you have saved me from myself
And now my heart is beaming
I'll never be the same
And I've been dreaming of a time
When our wars will end and you and me will have a better life
And I've been dreaming of a time
When our passion burns and all these dreams will finally come alive
And all this time
I fell apart
From living life
And doing things my own way
Miserable and hopeless, I never thought that I could
Make it out
But you have saved me from myself
And now my heart is beaming
I'll never be the same
I fell into the darkest time of my life
Trapped inside by everything that failed before
With you and I, it never stayed out of my mind
But now my life is restored
Miserable and hopeless, I never thought that I could
Make it out
But you have saved me from myself
Miserable and hopeless, I never thought that I could
(You saved my life, you saved my life, you saved my life)
(I was in the darkest time of my life, I was in the darkest time of my life)
Make it out
But you have saved me from myself
And now my heart is beaming
I'll never be the same

The Story Of You And Me

I've been thinking
how this never goes my way
it's caused these feelings of hatred every day
And after all this time I try so hard
To fix you and me
It all just ends the same as every time, it blows up in my face
Nothing I do is working, which led to this weary heart
Every time I try harder it puts me behind the start
I tried fixing everything
All I wanted was for the best but you weren't the best for me
And now I'm falling to pieces because I got my hopes up
On everything that failed
Now I've been waiting
To finally take control
Of all the feelings
The art of letting go
And after all these days that have went by I still think of you
I wish that I could just erase the past
These thoughts won't leave my head
Nothing I do is working, which led to this weary heart
Every time I try harder it puts me behind the start
I tried fixing everything
All I wanted was for the best but you weren't the best for me
And now I'm falling to pieces because I got my hopes up
On everything that failed
It all went away when I forgave you
For all the wrong things that you did to me
It set peace in my mind and it gave me my life back
It has it has let me go, healed these wounds and set me free
I tried fixing everything
All I wanted was for the best but you weren't the best for me
And now I'm falling to pieces because I got my hopes up
On everything that failed

Keep Fighting

I saw her as she was wondering through the streets at night
I asked what was wrong
As the tears fell on her scars
She said I "had been dreaming of life
but on my mind is suicide"
Take my hand and I'll lead you where you're suppose to go
I don't have all of the answers, but this hope will take you home
I know you can't hold this in anymore
It feels like it's your only escape
I'll hold you in my arms and tell you everything will be alright
Keep Fighting
She told me how she thought she could never love herself
This was the girl with the biggest heart
Who always thought way to hard
She saw everyone's beauty but her own
But didn't understand she meant the world
Darling your arms were meant to be held
Not to be covered in cuts and scars
Sweetie don't try and leave the world
You mean absolutely everything
With everything you've been through
You don't deserve this tortured heart
You are more than
The pain that they all have caused
It hurts but you'll make it through the night
I know you can't hold this in anymore
It feels like it's your only escape
I know you can't hold this in anymore
It feels like it's your only escape
I'll hold you in my arms and tell you everything will be alright
He'll hold you in his arms
And show you everything
Will be alright
Keep Fighting
