Haven't always been this way
I wasn't born a renegade
I felt alone, still feel afraid
I stumbled through it anyway

I wish someone would have told me that this life is ours to choose
No one's sending you the keys or a book with all the rules
The little that I know I'll t

We had life in our eyes and the world was on our side
Speedin' along with no map, it was all green lights
It was just you and I
When somethin' dies, doesn't mean that it's over
We're not like them, we don't have to be cold as ice
We could be you and I

So take my hand fo

White knuckles
And sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clenched shut jaw
I've got another headache again tonight

Eyes on fire, eyes on fire
And they burn from all the tears
I've been crying, I've been crying
I've been dying over you

Tie a knot in the rope

I've been dreaming of friendly faces
I've got so much time to kill
Just imagine people laughing
I know, someday, we will
And even if it's far away
Get me through another day

Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world’s been spinning si

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss Knowing-It's-All-Good it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm st

Mama please stop cryin', I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you said

You fight about money, 'bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is

I'm coming up
So you better get this party started
I'm coming up
So you better get this party started

Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody's waiting for me to arrive
Sending out the message to all of my friends
We'll be looking flashy in my Mercedes-

Right from the start
You were a thief, you stole my heart
And I your willing victim

I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch, you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh

I'm lying here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine
'Cause it's making me itch
I sai

I know that I'm running out of time
I want it all, hmm, hmm
And I'm wishing they'd stop tryna turn me off
I want it all, hmm, hmm
And I'm walking on a wire
Trying to go higher
Feels like I'm surrounded by clowns and liars
Even when I give it all away
I want it all

If someone told me that the world would end tonight
You could take all that I got, for once I wouldn't start a fight
You could have my liquor, take my dinner, take my fun
My birthday cake, my soul, my dog, take everything I love

But, oh, one thing I'm never gonna do
Is thro

Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many times have I kicked you out of here?
Or said something insulting?
Da, da, da, da, da

I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na

I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (nope)

I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight

Trust fall, baby
It's a trust fall, baby

Picture a place where it all doesn't hurt
Where everything's safe and it doesn't get worse, oh my
We see through bloodshot eyes
Picture a place somewhere else far away
Where you know what they mean and they mean what they say to

Ever wonder about what he's doing?
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna di

There's something in the way you roll your eyes
Takes me back to a better time
When I saw everything is good
But now you're the only thing that's good

Trying to stand up on my own two feet
This conversation ain't coming easily
And darling, I know it's getting late
S

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the brok

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up the great big hill of hope
For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was never this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed just

I think of you when I think about forever
I hear a joke and I know you would've told it better
I think of you out of the blue when I'm watching a movie that you'd hate
You'd said you were never one to hesitate
You were always first in line, so why would it be different for Heaven

You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around, uh huh
That's right
I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh, that's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out<
