I should never have stayed here
But you took away all the pain and all the fear
Tell me you want me and I’ll stay
Show me your sorrow and you’ll take me away
And I could never leave you, cause then I’d be just like the other guys
You know that I would never do anything to hurt you or make you cry
But saying goodbye is the least of my worries
You know that I mean it when I say
Us two holding hands, the future in grasp
I just wasn’t meant to be with you, with you
So what you’re telling me is, is that you want to stay with me
But baby, I can see you’re not alright and this was not meant to be
And isolation was never gonna help anyone
And I refuse to hold you under when your life has just begun
But saying goodbye is the least of my worries
You know that I mean it when I say
Forget about the past, we’re both free at last, I just wasn’t meant to be with you
Yeah saying goodbye is the least of my worries
You know I won’t beg you when I say
Forget about the past, we’re both free at last, I just wasn’t meant to be with you
But saying good, but saying goodbye is the least of my worries
And saying goodbye is the least of my worries
You know that I mean it when I say
Us two holding hands, the future in grasp, I just wasn’t meant to be with you
And saying goodbye
You know I won’t beg you when I say
Forget about the past, we’re both free at last, I just wasn’t meant to be with you

You wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear
A little girl lost in a bigger city, and I ain't ever seen nobody look this pretty
My conscious is screaming telling me to stay clear
You told me you live in a house of cards
Your mind works like another fine piece of art
But I know, coming so close, it's so hard to resist, but you wanted some more
You did not care
Putting your arms around my waist
So I, some Romeo, I was gonna let go
I was about to explode
Tried to get away
Tried to run fast out of this place
But you, you linger in my life
You'll never, you'll never say goodbye, goodbye
Please baby tell me what I am doing wrong
Days turn into nights that turn into ways that you start a fight
And all the people passing by, they'll stop and stare
Their eyes are depressingly thin
Oh what I great mess I am in
But you, you're taking my control
You'll never, you'll never let me go
Your house of cards, your house of cards, yours
Your house of cards, your house of cards, yours
You'll take me to your house of cards, yours

Some nights I never change
Time cannot be replaced
My heart is bleeding red and it won't heal
But I don't know what to do
I want what's best for you
Thoughts run through my head and I don't know what I should do
I've always tried to do my best, for you and me
As I lay awake
My mind runs all over you
It's a risk you take
When you ask someone to love you
All of my memories stay
Wasting our time away
I get so overflown with feelings so real
And I don't know what to do
I want what's best for you
But I cannot watch you as you’re begging me not to leave
I've always tried to do my best, for you and me
As I lay awake
My mind runs all over you
It's a risk you take
When you ask someone to love you
As I lay awake
My mind runs all over you
It’s a risk you take
When you ask someone to love you
Holo mua ke ola
Holo mua ke ola
Holo mua ke ola
As I, as I watch you, as I watch you slip away
As I, as I lay here in my bed awake

Back when I used to know you
I never let anything in the way
Of what I had planned for the both of us
No two could ever be the same
But you took my life
Some spark inside
And it all came crashing down on me from the inside
You took away a part of me
And they say it's all okay, but is it really?
You never change, you never change
And I thought that it was my fault for being so dumb
I guess these things just don't work out
You never stop 'till you get what you want
Maybe it's a mistake
Maybe this is all a dream and I just have to wake
Nothing ever seems real anyway
I can't write your songs well
'Cause they're not my goddamn songs
If you want screams you'll get them
If you want screams you'll get them
And now that you're gone
Do I feel so much better?
Oh I hope you're happy now
'Cause I hate living in the past
But I cannot remember, oh please please remember how it feels to know everything will be alright
Just please get away from me
'Cause I cannot stand to be so close to you anymore, anymore

Run into your world, I wonder why you think you're all alone
With my silicone faces and your empty home
We could be the ones who keep
The earth it burns the way you turn
And I'm not best, I feel it too
But I'll always be here for you
Forever is now, knowing that anyhow
And while I'm asleep I'm dreaming of the way down
But everyone is much too loud
Change it up a size you think that it's been lost some time ago
Maybe you'll realize you never found the letter you last wrote
But why do I always keep missing?
You know what it's like to be the one who always wishes
Forever is now knowing that anyhow
And while I'm asleep I'm dreaming of the way down
But everyone is much too loud
I'll never, I'll never see you again my love
Forever is now, knowing that anyhow
And while I'm asleep I'm dreaming of the way down
But everyone is much too loud

Let me show you how it all begun right here
Let me take you back to when we were just kids
And I know it's been so long since its felt like this
It's taken a long time and a whole lot more of risks
But now I can see
Something has taken over me
And the moment it feels
Feels like forever now
But now I can see
I know, I know I'm not perfect
But there's something right here, and I think it's taking over me, over me
I remember the promises we made
And it took us so long just to find our way
I remember the very first thing you said
It has never ever left my head
And you took me someplace so brand new
Somewhere that I never ever knew
And now I can finally say
We have made something of ourselves today
But now I can see
Something has taken over me
And the moment it feels
Feels like forever now
But now I can see
I know, I know I'm not perfect
But there's something right here, and I think it's taking over me
It's been forever now, momentum momentum
It's been forever now, momentum momentum
