The Reason

I wanna live, I wanna leave, i wanna open up and breathe
i wanna go, i wanna be, i wanna feel it constantly
gotta show, gotta say, i've gotta feeling that won't go away
i've gotta know if they got away, my opportunities
(chorus)
just one chance is all i ever wanted
just one time i'd like to win the game
from now on i'll take the chance if i can have it
just one just one

i need to think, i need to feed, i need to see if i still bleed
i need a place, i need a time, 'cause i need to step outside that line
gonna give, gonna take, i'm gonna scream 'til i am awake
i'm gonna push, i'm gonna pull, open up the door

(chorus)

and if i knew when the door was open i'd go through, i would go on through
and i can say, when i do i'll never be the same, never be the same

(chorus)

there never seems to be, because what i believe, a moment i'm not trying
to show them who i am, why can't they understand the things that
they're denying?
they're denying...

so what should i do, just lay next to you as though i'm unaffected?
and who should i be when they're judging me as though i'm unaffected?

a chance they'd never give to ever want to live the life that i am made of
theres nothing left to prove, my heart's forever true, what is it they're
afraid of?
afraid of....

so what should i do, just lay next to you as though i'm unaffected?
and who should i be when they're judging me as though i'm unaffected?

before they even saw my face they knew that i was not the same
and decided i was not the one for you, for you...

so what should i do? i'm not unaffected
and who should i be? i'm not unaffected

so what should i do, just lay next to you as though i'm unaffected?
and who should i be when they're judging me as though i'm unaffected?


unaffected.......

I thought it was to good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
Someone who would help me get to through
And fill an emptiness I had inside me
But you kept inside, and I just denied
Some things that we should have both said
I knew it was to good to be true
Cuz i'm the only one who understands me

What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only...


Remember they thought we were to young
To really know what it takes to make it
But we had survived all what we have done
So we could show them all that they're mistaken
But who could have known, the lies that would grow
Until we could see right through them
Remember they knew we were to young
We still don't know what it takes to make it

What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only one

We could have made it work
We could have found a way
We should have done our best
To see another day
But we kept it all inside
Until it was to late
And now we're both alone
The consequence we pay
For throwin' it all away (x2)

What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only...

What happened to us? (x4)

whenever i step outside, somebody claims to see the light
it seems to me that all of us have lost our patience
'cause everyone thinks they're right, and nobody thinks that there just might
be more than one road to our final destination

but i'm not ever going to know if i'm right or wrong
'cause we're all going in the same direction
and i'm not sure which way to go because all along
we've been goin in the same direction

i'm tired of playing games, of looking for someone else to blame
for all the holes in answers that are clearly showing
for something to fill the space, was all of the time i spent a waste
'cause so many choices point the same way i was going

so why does there only have to be one correct philosophy?
i don't want to go and follow you just to end up like one of them
and why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
i'd like to think that i can go my own way and meet you in the end

but i'm not ever going to know...

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears
That

I've done everything as you said
I followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly

But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control

Where should I go, what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know, if I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all alone I thought you would be there

So let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control

Where should I go, what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know, if I can trust you
Or all of the things you've said to me

And I may never know
The answer to this endless mystery

Where should I go, what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me

It's still a mystery
It's still a mystery

I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control

I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control

Where should I go, what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know, if I can trust you
Or all of the things you've said to me

And I may never know
The answer to this endless mystery

Where should I go, what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me

I'm spinning out of control, out of control
I'm spinning out of control, out of control
