I've thought too hard about how things should
have been
And maybe a handshake was as close as we were
But that's no excuse, I let it go too far
And I realize now it was never there
And I'm not surprise
I hear the threats and the criticisms but it's
nothing to fear
They can take their shots but it won't cause me to
break
Time will prove who's committed and who's a fake
My concern, keeps me alive
Somet
My accomplishments
What's it to you
I try my best at what I do
Live this day to have some fun
Won't change my goals
So I guess you've won
Your advice a waste of time
Knowing what i've earned is mine
Spirits get lifted
Words may get twisted
Still I hold my place
Attacks have been made
Sincerity fades
I refuse to save face
Should I forget
Lose my step and turn back
I can't let go
Of what I've a
Every time I talk to you conversation drifts the
same way
Things you wish you'd seen or wanted to do
There's always something in the way
We risk so little and regret so much
I don't lack the will to tr
Growing up not slowing down
Time got your best just look around
But I've found something that keeps me aware
A whole scene of people with the couruge to care
Your youth is behind you
As if you were de
You live for the moment
It lasts for a second
As life passes by like a dream
Put faith in an instinct
Not feeling what you think
Find out that it's not what it seems
I can't live these days for you
You think I'm living in the past
Living out something long gone
But what's so wrong with believing what made me
who I am
That's why I won't give up
Your criticism won't get in the Way!
I'd rather say
We shout our slogans at the top of our lungs
But in the end nothing's done
The game of pointing fingers
It's so fucking old
You gave up on what you said
The scene let you down so you move ahead
Just
You're telling me the things I want are so
worthless
Well I'm telling you your ways will keep you down
I know you'd feel so much better...about yourself
If I put my goals aside...and followed you around
There's nothing left to be done
I won't fight against what can't be won
Sorry if I let you down
But I won't be pushed around
I can accept this blame
Even though the tracks spell out your name
I can o
Expectations that I built up
Now finally come to light
So naive because I never thought
So many could lose sight
I reached out to grab a hold
But you passed me by
Was it worth a try?
I just tried to
I can't help but wonder
If we're listening or just singing along
I hold this all so close..does it compare to what
I've felt
If you strip away what's not important
Will it still beat in your heart?
It
Am I the the fool
For holding in
All these words
And their value
Taken to heart
Lessons learned
I always felt
It was sacred
Understand our directions face separate ways
You just be the critic and
When I think back to what I said
It all made sense in my head
But how long did you wait?
How long did you try?
Now I'm left to wonder
How I'm going to get by
Just because I thought you were wrong
Do
It can't be said in one word
There's no simple answer
So don't tell me that you
That you have it all figured out
Because I'll always be searching...for the truth
The difference between us...is that I
Why is it you can ruin everything we've made with
one touch
And all the effort you waste lashing out...
could get something done
I'll stay focused, you stay lost
Take a look man
Consider the fucking c
The last time that I faced you
I swore it was the last time
I'd tell you what this meant to me
But it's back again
I don't know what to do
You painted me in a corner
And I'm sick of dealing with you
Looking past
The weight of words not taken to heart
It seemed so safe and innocent to start
But now I'm on the outside looking in
Won't let this example go to waste
Let's not lay the blame
On those w
Whatever happened to integrity
To putting your thoughts into something you
believe
I can't even count the amount of shit I've been
told
It's coming to a head, how will I react?
This is one thing you ca
