lyrics

DAY BY DAY I FIND MYSELF IN A WASTE
AN EMPTY WORN OUT PRACTICE SPACE
STRUGGLING THROUGH MEMORIES
OF THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
HOW COULD YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON ME
LOCKING US OUT AND LOOKING AWAY
BUT WE GREW STRONGER EVERYDAY

I HELD BACK THE HATE JUST TO FIND AN ESCAPE
A REVELATION I LONGED BUT DREADED TO MAKE
YOU WERE GONE AND YOU'RE NEVER COMING BACK
I'LL PRAY FOR YOU BUT
ITS TIME TO GO ON
TO LIVE ON TO MOVE ON
I'LL LEAVE MY HATRED TRAPPED IN A SONG
YOUR EGO HELD US BACK FOR TOO LONG
YOUR EGO HELD US BACK FOR TOO LONG

WE ALL STRIVE TO BE DIFFERENT
BUT REALLY WE ARE ALL THE SAME
IT SICKENS ME THAT WE ARE ALL THE SAME

OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME?
YOU'RE NOT CLOSE TO PERFECTION
AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT
I HOPE YOU DROWN IN YOUR SELFISH WAYS
I'VE SAID IT ONCE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN
YOU JUST WISH YOU WERE ME

I BELIEVED IN YOU WHEN YOU FORCE FED ME LIES
I COULDN'T SEE THE EVIL BEHIND YOUR EYES
NOW ITS TIME FOR YOU
TO LET ME LIVE OUT MY LIFE

BOW!

WE ARE UNBREAKABLE
NOTHING THAT YOU EVER SAY CAN CHANGE THAT FACT
WE ARE INVINCIBLE
AND STANDING STRONG

OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME?
YOU'RE NOT CLOSE TO PERFECTION
AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT
I HOPE YOU DROWN IN YOUR SELFISH WAYS
I'VE SAID IT ONCE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN
YOU JUST WISH YOU WERE ME

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? X4
