1.How To Break A Heart
I think you were expecting a love song, something sweet
telling everyone how much you meant to me
I guess i just don't really recall
so don't worry I'm sure theres plenty of other guys
who will fall for your fake smile and buy up all your lies
You just made the biggest mistake of your life
and I'm thinking that you finally understand
But you took this long ago so who's heartless now？
This is me letting you know that you've been replaced
This is me letting you know that I'm letting you go
I cant miss you until you leave so go on now
Just let me get used to you walking away
cause this is me letting you know that I'm letting you go
Mow the best part is your contact
while weathered 'buts' still intact
its impersonal and I'm still strangely comfortable with that.
You can go right ahead, its failure in a phrase
I'm starting to think you will never understand
But you took this long ago so who's heartless now？
This is me letting you know that you've been replaced
This is me letting you know that I'm letting you go
I cant miss you until you leave so go on now
Just let me get used to you walking away
cause this is me letting you know that I'm letting you go
I'll write your name in a song
and I'll call you out on everything
that you've ever done wrong.
The world will sing along so let me clear the air.
You're gone and I'm still here.
But you took this long ago so who's heartless now？
This is me letting you know that you've been replaced
This is me letting you know that I'm letting you go
But you took this long ago so who's heartless now？
This is me letting you know that you've been replaced
This is me letting you know that I'm letting you go
I cant miss you until you leave so go on now
Just let me get used to you walking away
cause this is me letting you know that I'm letting you go
2.Paper Thin Walls
There were so many things that i wanted to say
But i held my tongue to keep that smile on my face.
was it a heavy heart that made you fall from grace？
So lets look back you were just eighteen
with a face cut our of a movie screen
and it's been since then i know her heart is my home
and its the only place I'll stay
And then you walked in with a song from a pen
that sings of everything you say.
With a songs so sweet but the words so weak
Its just the devil's part you'll play.
How do you sleep？ How do you breathe？
What did your eyes look like when i was falling apart？
How could I be？ How could I see？
The way your heart stopped burning
when he wasn't exactly what you wanted me to be？
It was the best of times and years gone by
but with one breath an apology and his name on her lips.
Between the walls and the floor had kept him secret.
Now it's in every room in this house and I'm screaming
at the shadows until my lungs give out.
She's the only thing that i wanted to keep
cause its her voice still sing me to sleep.
How do you sleep？ How do you breathe？
What did your eyes look like when i was falling apart？
How could I be？ How could I see？
The way your heart stopped burning
when he wasn't exactly what you wanted me to be？
I wasn't too sure how to say in a song
how the tone of the moment was just so wrong.
Who needs the heartache anyway？
And every little line every stroke of the pen
reminds me of a time that was lost
when we didn't know the thoughts and whispers...
I will never be the same
How do you sleep？ How do you breathe？
What did your eyes look like when i was falling apart？
How could I be？ How could I see？
The way your heart stopped burning
when he wasn't exactly what you wanted me to be？
How do you sleep？ How do you breathe？
What did your eyes look like when i was falling apart？
How could I be？ How could I see？
The way your heart stopped burning
when he wasn't exactly what you wanted me to be？
3.Sleepless In Syracuse
She said 'I'm done with you'
but with the softest of smiles waiting patiently upon her lips
She sits like a shadow perfectly against the comforter.
Back lit by the sliver of light creeping silently
through the curtain, as insufficient as these paper thin walls
at keeping the outside world at bay.
She leaves me speechless, I just don't know what to say
And my hands are quick to hold her closer
And my hands will hold her tighter
And my hands need to hold her forever
A modest mouse, she is mine
She said I am the ghost against the sheets.
My smirk belies the tension in my teeth,
Quiet love, the sun sleeps lazy on a Saturday.
She is the lightest of sleepers, a one of a kind
a secret as close to the heart as her head upon mine.
Our hearts keep time,
a countdown announcing tomorrow is on its way.
You hold my attention the way you hold my heart.
Ever so tightly, just never let it alone.
And my hands are quick to hold her closer
And my hands will hold her tighter
And my hands need to hold her forever
A modest mouse, she is mine
She said I am the ghost against the sheets.
My smirk belies the tension in my teeth,
Quiet love, the sun sleeps lazy on a Saturday.
And I'm all choked up, cause you've got
one hand on my heart and one of my throat, so it goes.
And I'm all choked up, cause you've got
one had on my heart and one on my throat, don't let go.
And my hands are quick to hold her closer
And my hands will hold her tighter
And my hands need to hold her forever
A modest mouse, she is mine
She said I am the ghost against the sheets.
My smirk belies the tension in my teeth,
Quiet love, the sun sleeps lazy on a Saturday.
4.Off Limits
I have a pretty good memory
at least when it comes to things i want to remember.
I'll always remember,
and your not easy to forget
I remember every detail of that goodbye.
It broke my heart but I moved on.
I had to, I couldn't wait around forever.
I wasn't expecting a thing,
and I always get what I'm expecting
Boys will be boys so lets all raise our glasses make a toast
that the fact is that we're both here and scared.
So we find ourselves alone again
Look how we've walked to face the end. Are you proud？
We trace our steps back in the sand.
See our memories holding hands.
Can you help me write this down？
Mother always said hindsight was 20／20
but I'm as blind as a bat and thats never going to change.
Boys will be boys so lets all raise our glasses make a toast
that the fact is that we're both here and scared.
We'll lead the noise and we'll scream to the rafters
that we'll be here long after you've left.
Well I guess the heart repairs
I like to think that
I gave as good as I got from you, and i gave it all away
Well I knew exactly what I was getting myself into.
I just saved you the trouble, I just saved you the trouble
Well I knew exactly what I was getting myself into.
I just saved you the trouble, I just saved you the trouble
Save some grace for when you're just trying to save face.
Oh what a tangled web we weave
Boys will be boys so lets all raise our glasses make a toast
that the fact is that we're both here and scared.
We'll lead the noise and we'll scream to the rafters
that we'll be here long after you've left.
Well I guess the heart repairs
5.Welcome To New York,Now Get A Job
Each heartbeat becomes miles and
I'm only feeling further away from home with days left to go.
Where the trees mark the horizon line
like a finger against your lips.
You whisper welcome home when Syracuse is in sight
New York, New York, you're a sight for sore eyes.
With a sunrise kiss you welcome these boys home with open arms.
I'd say we missed you but you see it in our hearts.
Now we're packing our bags and kissing our loved ones goodbye
but our bodies are longing to feel the road
traveling beneath our feet, so don't cry for me.
We'll be back soon with wide eyes and a thousand stories
to tell fill the end of time.
From the top of the world in the back of the van
it feels like our hearts are in the palm of your hands.
No one could ever have told us that it's not a fairy tale.
From the top of the world in the back of the van
New York, New York, you're a sight for sore eyes.
With a sunrise kiss you welcome
6.There's A Lesson To Be Learned Here
I never made you a promise that I didn't keep.
Maybe I kept things hidden,
maybe I played a little too close to the chest.
You know you do the same, you keep the walls up like
you're keeping something secret, something safe.
But I'm not having it, I figured you out
I had you figured out from the start.
You gotta know when to show and when to fold,
but I'm telling you this game is getting old
Maybe he's a bad bet, oh baby I'm your baddest bet.
Now you're too late and I'm gone like the tears he'll kiss away.
When you realize I'm never coming home again.
These miles are the markings on this bedroom wall
showing you're every bit the dreamer you deny yourself to be
But thats what I always loved the most.
You just push it away, sweep it under the rug.
So the company you keep, and you keep it well,
won't know about the company you kept with me.
You gotta know when to show and when to fold,
but I'm telling you this game is getting old
Maybe he's a bad bet, oh baby I'm your baddest bet.
Now you're too late and I'm gone like the tears he'll kiss away.
When you realize I'm never coming home again.
I am the boy your parents warned you about.
Don't bring me home, Don't bring me home.
Give me two guesses what you're into tonight
But I only need one. I only ever needed one.
Give me two guesses what you're into tonight
But I only need one. I only ever needed one.
You gotta know when to show and when to fold,
but I'm telling you this game is getting old
Maybe he's a bad bet, oh baby I'm your baddest bet.
Now you're too late and I'm gone like the tears he'll kiss away.
When you realize I'm never coming home again.
You gotta know when to show and when to fold,
but I'm telling you this game is getting old
Maybe he's a bad bet, oh baby I'm your baddest bet.
Maybe he's a bad bet, oh baby I'm your baddest bet.
7.Stay Gold,Denise Hoffman,Stay Gold
Honor Bright - Stay Gold, Denise Hoffman, Stay Gold
Do you remember when we said, we said
We would never let it get this far, but we did, we did.
I'm not going to wait around
for you to figure out what a mistake you're making
Just let me down, just let me down.
I've been through this before
but somehow my hearts still breaking
So this is how, so this is how
'I love you' becomes 'goodbye'
So this is how
You told me once I asked you twice
how your words would become mine
I never wanted to miss you
Now we're talking again and it feels so distant
Like you're just holding back while I'm just holding on
to every little thing that ever made sense.
What are you doing？ What are you doing to me？
So this is how
You told me once I asked you twice
how your words would become mine
I never wanted to miss you
I followed all your advice
as your heart connects to mine
I know I'm not supposed to miss you
Is it okay if I still love you？
I still love you.
Now we know we're up against,
what we're up against
You've heard it all but I'm not getting through.
I'm never getting through to you,
now your gone and I'm broken
Do you remember when we said, we said
We would never let it get this far, but we did, we did
Do you remember when this meant, this meant
everything not just to me but to everyone
Now your gone and I'm broken
You told me once I asked you twice
how your words would become mine.
I never wanted to miss you.
I followed all of your advice
as your connects to mine
I know I'm not supposed to miss you.
8.Hust Symphony
Some may say it's just life
and the way we live these days in rough times.
So we're reckless and we know this.
But I have to disagree
I never want to become that one, that guy
Just get it right. Oh what a mess.
Now I'm bitter and so jaded
and you're the leader for the symphony
thats been playing my heart strings
Cut them one by one you're just setting me free.
I could thank you for everything you never did for me.
You knew what you were getting into from the start
now we'll play it off like it was all my fault
It's always my fault. Sure and I'm used to it
My shoulders are broad I can bare the weight.
My shoulders are broad...I can't bare this.
So take these words to heart and hold them tightly
You know me, I'll never let them go.
Now I'm bitter and so jaded
and you're the leader for the symphony
thats been playing my heart strings
Cut them one by one you're just setting me free.
Now I'm bitter and so jaded
and you're the leader for the symphony
thats been playing my heart strings
Cut them one by one you're just setting me free.
This comes easy now
You'll regret this but I won't
If leaving me was the easy part
Now watch as everybody knows
what you did to me
as my words relive this.
what you did to me
as my words relive this.
Now I'm bitter and so jaded
and you're the leader for the symphony
thats been playing my heart strings
Cut them one by one you're just setting me free.
Now I'm bitter and so jaded
and you're the leader for the symphony
thats been playing my heart strings
Cut them one by one you're just setting me free.
Cut them one by one I'll just say it, your pathetic.
9.Don't Tell Mama
An evening of introductions
leading me around by the hand like this
was second nature to you.
But I'm not complaining I admit
I enjoy the company and you haven't taken things too far.
But that's no promise yet.
So show me your next move like it's your last move
like you have something to prove to me
So maybe I worry a bit but you're a nervous wreck
and I can't get a single answer out of you
Keep your head held high and chin up darling.
I'll watch your fact light up from your eyes
with a style and grace only you could provide.
Let me be another reason for you to smile.
You scoff at every compliment
but I won't let it stop me now.
I love the red in your cheeks and the way you hide
between my heart and my silver tongue
A soothsayer she says am I
Well I suppose I cannot tell a lie
And I won't, I would never lie to you
This was more than just a bed to sleep in, so kiss and tell
I'll make a believer out of you, but I'll make a liar out of me.
We're no worse off than we are right now
Always the mother, what would we do without you？
10.Holdfast
Early mornings followed by long days of doing nothing
Weekends flying by with just a memory
and I can't seem to slow down.
We keep wishing, we keep waiting for things to go our way.
Hold the line! Never forget why you're dying to be here.
With our portraits painted by sunset horizons.
I'm ready for a change of pace
but this nine to five is dragging me down
I need to get our of here but before I say goodbye
before I lose my mind.
It's all these little things that keep me holding on
Hold the line! Never forget why you're dying to be here.
With our portraits painted by sunset horizons.
If it wasn't for friendship and the love of music
it wouldn't be worth doing
So make it worth it, you make it worth it
To all my best friends you make it worth it
So make it worth it
To all our families you make it worth it
So make it worth it
For all your love and support you make it worth it
So make it worth it
To all of you, you make it worth it
So make it worth it.
11.Bednotch And Boomsticks
Insinuating that's something wrong. Why won't you tell me？
Your lips pose the perfect question and I'm still
breaking myself in two just to find an answer.
Let me stitch myself together for you
Are we just rag dolls？
As lifeless as the winter buried in snow？
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
My heart is beating away like the hands of a clock
ticking away seconds at a time
Still watching my every move
like it's my last step on splintered glass
covering this buildings edge
One hundred feet to the ground below.
Are we just rag dolls？
As lifeless as the winter buried in snow？
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
I feel so alive.
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
Tell me that you'll hold on and raise your glass to the sky.
A new dawn is breaking, my hands are shaking,
tonight we'll toast to life
