I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears. And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave, 'cause your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone. These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears, and I've held your hand through all of these years, but you still have all of me. You used to captivate me by your resonating light. Now I'm bound by the life you left behind. Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams. Your voice, it chased away all the sanity in me. These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream, i'd fight away all of your fears, and i've held your hand through all of these years, but you still have all of me. I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone. But though you're still with me I've been alone all along. When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears, and i've held your hand through all of these years, but you still have all of me. (x2)

now i will tell you what i've done for you
50 thousand tears i've cried
screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
and you still won't hear me (I'm going under)
don't want your hand this time i'll save myself
maybe i'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
not tormented daily defeated by you
just when i thought i'd reached the bottom
i'm dying again

i'm going under (going under)
drowning in you (drowning in you)
i'm falling forever (falling forever)
i've got to break through
i'm going under

blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
so i don't know what's real and what's not
always confusing the thoughts in my head
so i can't trust myself anymore
i'm dying again

i'm going under (going under)
drowning in you (drowning in you)
i'm falling forever (falling forever)
i've got to break through

so go on and scream
scream at me i'm so far away (so far away)
i won't be broken again
i've got to breathe i can't keep going under

I'm dying again

I'm going under (going under)
drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Going under (drowning in you)
I'm going under

Always see it on TV
or read it in the magazines
celebrities they want sympathy
all they do is piss and moan, inside the rolling stone
talking about how hard life can be
id like to see them spend a week
living life out on the street
I dont think they would survive
if they could spend a day or two walking in someone else’s shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall, they would fall
(fall)

lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they’re always complainin, always complainin
if money is such a problem, well they got mansions
think we should rob them

did you know when you were famous you could kill your wife
and theres no such thing as 25-to-life
as long as you’ve got the cash to pay for Cochren
and did you know if you were caught and you were smoking crack
McDonalds wouldn’t even want to take you back
you could always just run for mayor of D.C.
I’d like to see them spend a week
living life out on the street
I don’t think they would survive
if they could spend a day or two
walking in someone else’s shoes
I think they’d stumble and they’d fall
they would fall

lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they’re always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
well they got mansions
think we should rob them
(rob them)

(they would fall...fall)
lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they’re always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
they've got so many problems
think I could solve them
lifestyles of the rich and the famous
we’ll take your clothes, cash, cars, and homes just stop complainin
lifestyles of the rich and famous (x3)

It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life,
That's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same

At my high school

It felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see

That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna,
I don't ever wanna be

You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you

"Go to college,
a university
Get a real job"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind

Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be

You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you

Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playin with yourself again

You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Ya'll got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Ya'll got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no

it's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you

And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how, you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what i really am
This is how you remind me
Of what i really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"
yet, yet
are we having fun yet [3x]

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

[chorus]
Why should I care
'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
Yeah, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't okay
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

[chorus]

Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care
'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone

Why should I care
'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care
We're not going anywhere
[repeat x 2]

Uh Huh
Life's like this
Uh Huh
Uh Huh
That's the way it is

Cause life's like this
Uh Huh
Uh Huh
That's the way it is

Chill out
What you yellin for?
Lay back
It's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see

I like you the way you are
When we're drivin in your car
And you're talkin to me one-on-one
But you become

Somebody else
Round everyone else
Your watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn into
Honesty and promise me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin else
Where you are and where it's at you see
You're makin me
Laugh out
When you strike a pose
Take off
All your preppy clothes
You know
You're not foolin anyone
When you become

Somebody else
Round everyone else
Your watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn into
Honesty and promise me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
(no no no)
No no

No no
(no no no)
No no

Chill out
What you yellin for?
Lay back
It's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see

Somebody else
Round everyone else
Your watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn into
Honesty and promise me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
(yeah yeah)
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frusterated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn it into
Honesty and promise me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no

So you think you got it all worked out
You got your hotpants on
You got your arse right out, you
Think you're something but you ain't special
And me and my drop-dress, we won't do at all

Spent so long tryin' to fit the prototype
Kept a stick in the gears and I never got it right
What's the use?
What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl, oh

Keep what you don't want
Doing down there
Cos I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time
I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better

All you girls
You look as if you hate me
What'm I doing still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
(Ah)
But that's ok

So you got your little groupies and gangs
You got your VIP
Your member-only things
Your happy-clappys and your VC crew
And if you get in their way, they got 10 on you

And I don't wanna be in that game
Don't wanna follow the leader, no way
What's the use?
What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl

So you can do what you're doing down there
Cos I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time
I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better

All you girls
You look as if you hate me
Why'm I still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit

So what we don't look the same?
So what we don't, so what we don't
So what I don't play your game?
So what I don't, so what I don't
So what if I don't?

All you girls
You look as if you hate me
Why'm I still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit (misfit)
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit (I'm a misfit)
You're superficial
I'm a misfit

All you girls
You look as if you hate me
Why'm I still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit

But that's ok
