TOMORROW STARTS TODAY

you filled my head with empty promises you never kept i heard you swear you thought the happy times would never end moments we spent together little did you know i heard about your antics time and time and time again what your so called friends told me, couldn't get inside my mind take your place in history and step aside, tomorrow starts today the letters sent convey the words you never meant tossed in garbage with barely a second thought your phone calls go unanswered nothing's left to say i won't dwell in the past cause what we had has long since gone did you really think i was that blind, that i would never see what your so called friends told my couldn't get inside my mind take your place in history and step aside, tomorrow starts today, hey i never talk to you what good would talking do i said about all i could say just living for today i never talk to you, i never talk to you what good would talking do, but start it over, over did you really think i was that blink

SELFISH MEANS

use some common sense for once because you take more than you give turn a deaf ear on the ones whose problems don't concern you selfish means are not an end, my friend selfish means are not an end, time for giving up never take the time to listen it's never in your best interest don't have enough humiliation to care about the rest selfish means are not an end, my friend selfish means are not an end, time for giving up built a wall that won't come down, desperation's common no time for answers, just stupid questions selfish means are not an end, selfish means are not an end time for giving up, this time, this time let go of the past and face it

STATE

i must say thanks for giving me reasons to always doubt myself is that the way that it should be never mind i'm back on my feet running away from the problems i can't face they're not as simple as they seem back down (back down) cave in (cave in) look at the state i'm in, too late to set it right 4 years on it all adds up gave you my life and you didn't give a fuck so chalk one up for lesson learned back again and bended knee you no longer have a hold on me it's safe to say i've got no more regrets back down (back down) cave in (cave in) look at the state i'm in too late to set it right set it right don't call this a solution you can only blame yourself i saw though your faults, you didn't see through mine if you words justify your actions you should've quit while you're ahead back down, cave in, look at the state i'm in (state i'm in)

SUMMER PHOTOS

i've been down this lonely road before i'm here to say it don't get better that summer photo leaves me hurting more and my opinion doesn't matter don't want to think about the fun we had i won't pretend to care don't want to hear about what was said, your heart was never there you said rejection used to turn you on that was your one burning confession never the one to care and now you're feeling lonely i really hope you've learned your lesson don't want to think about the fun we had i won't pretend to care don't want to think about what was said you're heart was never there every time we played the game i thought that i would go insane my feelings never counted you played me like a violin, with that silly little grin my feelings still amounted to nothing, didn't give a damn next time you think about what we had just remember all the moments we shared together while you shared them with those summer photos you had stolen don't want to think about what we had i won't pretend to care don't want to think about what was said your heart was never there don't want to think about what we had your heart was never there don't want to think about what was said i won't pretend to care

WELL DONE

trust what a fucked up word it's more often misunderstood the last time we talked was all my fault but i'm not the one to blame you had a million chances to prove me wrong when i was right i'm not what you had in mind do you remember when things seemed more at ease didn't put forth the effort to please ourselves now i won't look back and things will never be the same. you had a million chances to prove me wrong when i was right i'm not what you had in mind what's on your mind i need to take a look inside i gave you a million chances don't fool me with those second glances i need to take a look inside beaten beyond a reasonable doubt, do you know what i'm talking about i've seen it all a million times it's time to take back what was mine you had a million chances to prove me wrong when i was right i'm not what you had in mind i've spent many hours screaming, while my feelings were concealed now i wanna take a moment and tell you how i really fell don't blame my unforgiveness you can't have what is gone quit searching for an answer, what we had is done could i ever take it back, and start again. today's the day i walk away, and realize this is the end trust, some fucked up word you often misunderstood last time we talked i took a walk and learned to forget your name
