I'm sick of wasting my time girl I can see what the future holds They're only laughing at your jokes Cause they want something from you I'm Fading fast Maybe it's something I lack But I can't let go There's nothing holding me back from It's been so long that I can't even remember My heart's as bare as a tree in December I was shook when I met you Memories I hold onto Washed away like tears in rain I can't stand to feel that pain I'm Fading fast Maybe it's something I lack But I can't let go There's nothing holding me back from It's been so long that I can't even remember My heart's as bare as a tree in December I'm sick of wasting my time girl I can see what the future holds They're only laughing at my jokes Cause they want something from me

You think you're so smart I see how well you play the part It won't be like this forever Two months without it Starting to feel the pressure Just when you think You've got it figured out Life has a way Of knocking you around There's nothing left for me The future is hard to see You think I'm too carefree Agree to disagree Searching for something new When it's right in front of you Maybe you've been duped on reality As you perceive it through your crooked vanity You're not going to be this young forever Two years without it Starting to feel the pressure People tell me I'm insane But they should stay in their lane They're looking for someone to blame I must admit it's a shame I only bend until I break I'm older but I make the same mistakes If I don't get it together Will I be stuck in this town forever? Empty streets that are too dead for dreaming What is left to find redeeming? There's nothing left for me The future is hard to see You think I'm too carefree Agree to disagree

Just be yourself, can’t be anyone else, and know yourself, to love yourself Some will push and pull to remove you from your frame, time will bend and meld to the power of your brain When you can be alone there’s a power that you gain, be the love you want and their love you will attain

I tried so hard To get you to fall in love And it hurts so bad when I look you in the eyes Still I went the whole mile To get you to fall in love All this pain and suffering Question if it was worth my time Question if it was worth my time

My Dream 01:31
I've been dreaming all about it Now I can't seem to go a day without it The thought of you keeps my heart on beat When I'm walking down the street So discreetly From my head to my feet Something's got a hold on me And I think it's going to be a long time Til I get get the picture out of my mind Maybe the world wouldn't be so cruel If you trust me not to be a fool Wouldn't it be cool If I could give what I'm meant to give And we had a place to live

Running Away 02:15
I'm sick of being on the run And the worst has just begun I try to sing but the words don't come And I choke It doesn't do a single thing To let you know about the state I'm in My future's looking awful grim And it shows When I'm feeling down I have to be honest With myself out loud All the cards are down On the table now And I feel like I'm born to lose When it's been a day I can't seem to find The right words to say I get so scared sometimes I can't help running away You're not listening You're just waiting for your turn to speak The future looks awful bleank and so... All your dreams are collecting dust And you change your mind so much You can't even trust yourself When I'm feeling down I have to be honest With myself out loud All the cards are down On the table now And I feel like I'm born to lose When it's been a day I can't seem to find The right words to say I get so scared sometimes I can't help running away You do the same old thing It's like you never learn Light a fire and watch it burn All the lines retraced I feel I must erase Does that mean I'm a hopeless case? When it's been a day I can't seem to find The right words to say I get so scared sometimes I can't help running Can't help running away

There's nothing I can do to make you stay When your mind's made up there is no other way It won't be long I'll take my own advice How could I be so wrong I fell for the same thing twice I think you use me just to pass the time I don't wanna be the one to change your mind Shrouded in a veil of little white lies this time around I want to get so far away that I can't be found You expect so much from me but give nothing in return I guess it's like they say just a lesson to be learned I wish I could get back my sanity I need to get back to reality Acting out a lie will kill your heart and make you cold I think it's time you look deep down and break the mold But the days you thought were over come back in your mind And you have no self control, you can't leave them behind You're going to wake up and I won't be there Then it's your turn to pick up the pieces No I don't need another reason Now it's your turn to pick up the pieces

All these things I pretend to be, you know the truth is catching up with me. Always running when the feeling arrives, now I can’t look myself in the eyes. These days I try not to get too angry too fast, ‘cause I don’t wanna repeat the past.

Been sitting here by the phone, won’t leave it well enough alone, cause this time in know for sure it’ll be my girl Been sitting here all day long, never thought she could do me any wrong, I think I know this time for sure that I’ve been played She’s been playing her same old games, never loses always ends the same. It’s been so long since she’s called my name, she led me on, made me feel so lame. I’m better off on my own, no more waiting my the phone, it’s about time I grew a pair and just moved on. Can’t believe I was such a fool, that’s what I get for playing by her rules, next time I’ll know for sure not to play her game

Jimmy 02:42
Jimmy was a philosopher, got a degree in bio-physics, took a hit off the pookie and he went all up in flames Jimmy won’t you come back down forever. He’s sad, he’s got a song about you. He’s sad, about the age of Aquarius. Jimmy was a king of spades, gonna kill you with one eye open. But he went up and saw the guy who did that awful thing. Jimmy won’t you come back down forever. He’s upset, he’s got the sun above him. He’s sad, about the age of Aquarius. Jimmy won’t you find a place to wander, just believe, it’s all worth it in the end. Save the dream, it’s all worth it in the end. Just believe, just believe with Jimmy
