Verse 1:
It's all about you, and not about me. I'll be anything you want me to be.
But then in turn, take it out on me. You were blind, I didn't see.
Take a step back, this has happened before, I don't know what you're looking for.
The way you are, I think you will find will get you left behind.
Chorus:
I don't know should I laugh, or should I run from this nightmare,
Sleepless nights alone, anything I do is not fair.
With the turning of tides, when friend say goodbye,
No one's left standing, but me.
Verse 2:
As time goes on, you're changing fast, and here I thought we were gonna last.
You don't even spare a smile for me. Nothing I do makes you happy.
You'll watch me burn, mess with my head. Looking back I had misread.
Anything I've done for you is anything you wouldn't do.
Chorus: (x2)
I don't know should I laugh, or should I run from this nightmare,
Sleepless nights alone, anything I do is not fair.
With the turning of tides, when friends say goodbye,
No one's left standing,
No one's left standing,
No one's left standing, but me.

This Isn't You

Verse 1:
Don’t you find it strange?
How it all has changed.
You look down and see
That you’re afraid of me.
I’m a threat to you and yours
And I’m opening closed doors.
This is not what you have planned
And for this I will not stand
Pre-Chorus 1:
To see you lie, 'cause I can see it in your eyes,
And you just don't understand the kind of turmoil in my mind.
Chorus:
You'll ask me once, I'll tell you twice, and still again, it won't suffice,
D'you see the fire in my eyes?
And just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards.This isn't me and isn't you,
This isn't you.
Verse 2:
Power with words you like to twist
Casts a shadow that does not exist.
I'm a martyr for my cause,
But I'm not looking for applause.
I'll carry on but stronger now,
And you'll forever wonder how
I stayed standing tall,
While you just hoped to watch me
Pre-Chorus 2:
Fall and lose my way, but I'll keep fighting every day,
And soon you'll realise we're not the same in any way.
Chorus: (x2)
You'll ask me once, I'll tell you twice, and still again, it won't suffice,
D'you see the fire in my eyes?
And just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards.
This isn't me and isn't you,
This isn't you.

Nothing Left To Say

Verse 1:
I’m happy to be no one but me.
Still I’m convinced I’m not, so I’m stuck helplessly.
Between the past repeating, the songs that never end.
A future that is daunting that I can’t comprehend.
Verse 2:
Every single year I just hope I get by.
There’s voices laughing at me and I don’t know where to hide.
No matter how I try to change there’s nothing I can do.
Don’t pity me or act surprised, I don’t care about you.
Pre-Chorus:
I have nothing left to say.
Chorus:
You don’t know how hard it’s been.
My sanity is wearing thin.
I’ll do what’s right, and stay unknown.
'Cause how I feel is never shown.
Verse 3:
I’m happy to see no one’s like me.
Living to please somebody else and no one’s really free.
The pin drop is deafening and no one makes a sound.
You realise you’re on your own and don’t hope to be found.
Pre-Chorus:
I have nothing left to say
Chorus: (x2)
You don’t know how hard it’s been.
My sanity is wearing thin.
I’ll do what’s right, and stay unknown.
‘Cause how I feel is never shown.

Verse 1:
My first day on the job was not what I expected.
But then again it’s every day you feel slightly rejected,
And I won’t lie it stung, like vodka stings your tongue.
But fuck it I’ll move on, 'cause I won’t let you dickheads bring me down.
Chorus:
Do you like what I say? Do you like what I do?
Do you like what I wear? Do you like what I play?
Do you like what I say? Do you like what I do?
Do you like what I wear? Do you like what I play?
'Cause you’re not me or you. I’ll do what I want to do.
Fuck me? Well, fuck you! I’ll do whatever I want to do.
Verse 2:
I see the way you look at me with your judging eyes.
What happens next might come as a surprise.
If you say “screw you”, then I’ll say “screw you too”.
You only accept the old, so I’ll bring something new to me and you.
Chorus:
Do you like what I say? Do you like what I do?
Do you like what I wear? Do you like what I play?
Do you like what I say? Do you like what I do?
Do you like what I wear? Do you like what I play?
'Cause you’re not me or you. I’ll do what I want to do.
Fuck me? Well, fuck you! I’ll do whatever I want to do.
Chorus:
Do you like what I say? Do you like what I do?
Do you like what I wear? Do you like what I play?
Do you like what I say? Do you like what I do?
Do you like what I wear? Do you like what I play?
'Cause you’re not me or you. I’ll do what I want to do.
Fuck me? Well, fuck you! I’ll do whatever I want to do.
Fuck you.

Verse 1:
Six months wasting time, I realise I was only wasting mine.
Plans I could have made now can never be made at all.
Got laid off today, and now it looks like I’m not getting laid at all.
Protection in my pocket is the only cash that I really own.
Pre-Chorus:
Things can change – not always for the better.
Like when you wake up seeing rain,
And it just gets keeps getting wetter
Chorus:
At the end of the day
I’ll be there to pat you on the back.
So don’t hold back ‘cause I’ll be there
Even when you don’t need me.
Verse 2:
Things I wish I said, things I shouldn’t have kept inside my head.
Now you’ve gone away, I really do hate feeling this way.
It’ll never be the same, but we’ll both know that too much has changed.
I’ve no choice but to be someone who I don’t want to be.
Pre-Chorus:
Things can change – not always for the better.
Like when you wake up seeing rain,
And it just gets keeps getting wetter
Chorus: (x2)
At the end of the day
I’ll be there to pat you on the back.
So don’t hold back ‘cause I’ll be there
Even when you don’t need me.
At the end of the day
I’ll be there to pat you on the back.
So don’t hold back ‘cause I’ll be there
Even when you don’t need me.
