Priorities Suck

I know why you said goodbye, but I can’t help that I don’t have the time
I’m stuck here inside the fear, that something else would stop you being mine
Things were starting to go wrong, I knew it wouldn’t be that long
Before you’re on my back and I know I can’t handle that
Too much going on inside, then comes the day you thought I lied
But i’ve never walked that road, my head’s in overload
I know what I have to do to so I can make things right
But how can I do what I need to do when I can’t sleep at night
And when I get my way, something else comes up, that’s just my luck
Life doesn’t give a fuck - priorities just suck.
Woah, woah, woah
Then next time you crossed the line, and found someone who’d come around to play
You thought that you’d get me back, even though I had to go away
Things were starting to go wrong, I knew it wouldn’t be that long
Before you cut me loose and all I did was tell the truth
Too much going on inside, then comes the day you thought I lied
But i’ve never played that game, now you’re the one to blame
I know what I have to do to so I can make things right
But how can I do what I need to do when I can’t sleep at night
And when I get my way, something else comes up, that’s just my luck
Life doesn’t give a fuck - priorities just suck.
Gave you everything I could
Never questioned if I should
What else did I need to do
To get the trust I gave to you?
And stop you finding someone else to screw
I know what I have to do to so I can make things right
But how can I do what I need to do when I can’t sleep at night
And when I get my way, something else comes up, that’s just my luck
Life doesn’t give a fuck - priorities just suck.

First Plane Home

Wake up and see the place you’re in, you must be half asleep,
It’s obvious it’s not for you, and now you’re into deep,
And don’t go answering those promises that you can’t keep,
Cause now you’ve blown it all and lost it all in one clean sweep
But you’ll be on that first plane home so you’ll never be alone again and
I don’t care that your friends will all be there for you,
It's not like you’ve been around the fucking world for 20 years,
And now here comes the tears
I never knew that you could miss someone in just a week
It must be hard for you when your relationship is so unique
When you’re alone you find it hard and things are looking bleak
But when you’re in his arms again there are no words to speak
But you’ll be on that first plane home so you’ll never be alone again and
I don’t care that your friends will all be there for you,
It's not like you’ve been around the fucking world for 20 years,
And now here comes the tears
You think you’ve got it all worked out
But now you’re running back
You think you’ve got it all worked out
But now you’re running back
But you’ll be on that first plane home so you’ll never be alone again and
I don’t care that your friends will all be there for you,
It's not like you’ve been around the fucking world for 20 years,
And now here comes the tears

Before You Go Away

Cold cup of coffee staring at the wall
Sat there for days alone in the hall
Losing its warmth like the blood in my veins
But if it means that much, I hate you all the same
The house is empty, no one makes a sound
Used to be so full of life now no one comes around
Those were the best of times, why did it have to change?
But if it means that much, I hate you all the same
So see you, 'cause I know longer need you
Have you got something to say...
Before you go away?
So long to the one who made it all go wrong
Have you got something to say...
Before you go away?
My heart is turning black like day into night
And just like the sun, you're losing this fight
Won't be prepared for how I play my game
But if it means that much, I hate you all the same
Hot cup of coffee held within my hand
An empty space where your picture used to stand
I hear no whining driving me insane
But if it means that much I hate you all the same
So see you, 'cause I know longer need you
Have you got something to say...
Before you go away?
So long to the one who made it all go wrong
Have you got something to say...
Before you go away?

Someone Else

I've never seen this before
I'm lying on the cold hard floor
With visions in my head
Of what would happen if I were dead
I don't feel like myself
Now I'm turning into someone else
And it's haunting me
I just want to be...
Free of these thoughts, and free of this memory
(It's tearing me apart)
Free of this life, and all of its misery
(Take me back to the start)
I thought I had it all
I never knew that I could fall so hard
That if would leave so many scars
I don't feel like myself
Now I'm turning into someone else
And it's haunting me
I just want to be...
Free of these thoughts, and free of this memory
(It's tearing me apart)
Free of this life, and all of its misery
(Take me back to the start)
It's tearing me apart
Take me back to the start

Everybody needs
A life that they can lead
And don't be foolish and say your life is someone else
'Cause what if some day they're not there
Sometimes you need time
So that you can find
What you want but focus more on what you need
'Cause what if some day they're not there
So don't forget I'm here
When you're no longer near
Cause even though you're gone
I know it won't be for too long, so...
Keep me close and just
Miss me the most and I
Promise I will give you more
Than I have ever done before...
Where can you turn to
If there's nothing you do
Think of all the time you spent, it will just give you more strength
'Cause what if someday they're not there...
And there'll be nothing you can share
So don't forget I'm here
When you're no longer near
Cause even though you're gone
I know it won't be for too long, so...
Keep me close and just
Miss me the most and I
Promise I will give you more
Than I have ever done before...

Making A Statement
04:00

I see you sit in silence
Your lips are sealed up tight
Your mind is filled with violence
And keeps you up all night
It's hard to look in your eyes
When you are scaring me
It's hard to live with these lies
I need to set them free
And then you say we'll be just fine tomorrow
But we all know that this will happen all again tomorrow, unless you...
Change your ways
Give back what you take
Forget all that happened
From yesterday
I've been quiet too long
Now I'm saying you're wrong
Better clear up your act
'Cause I'm making a statement
You tend to stare straight through me
As if I'm hardly there
Mess me round, confuse me
And you don't even care
The rain upon my window
May as well be tears
I'm scared to show I'm sad though
But it's time to face my fears
And then you say we'll be just fine tomorrow
But we all know that this will happen all again tomorrow, unless you...
Change your ways
Give back what you take
Forget all that happened
From yesterday
I've been quiet too long
Now I'm saying you're wrong
Better clear up your act
'Cause I'm making a statement

Let me take you back to midnight
When all the lights were way down low
Took me round the back in the moonlight
Underneath the falling snow
Say you'll "be right back" and "I'm sorry"
"There's something that I need to do"
But time passes and I'm starting to worry
Waiting out in the cold for you
So I'm standing alone seeing double
Has something happened is she ok?
Start to wonder if she's in trouble
Or is that she wanted to get away?
I don't know what I'm doing here
But I know one thing for sure
She is gone, I'm not pretending
This ain't no happy ending
I go to leave and it's three in the morning
My clothes are wet and my phone is dead
Thinking why she would go with no warning
And now I can't get her out of my head
But I only know what she looks like
Didn't get her number or name
I start to panic that something's not right
Wanted a present but "Christmas" never came
So I'm standing alone seeing double
Has something happened is she ok?
Start to wonder if she's in trouble
Or is that she wanted to get away?
I don't know what I'm doing here
But I know one thing for sure
She is gone, I'm not pretending
This ain't no happy ending

I'm so tired of all the lies and fallacies, the overwhelming jealousy.
I'm so bored of all the stupid hypocrites tearing other's lives to bits.
Oooooh, they think that they all have the time for everybody's life but mine.
Oooooh, they think that they all have the hours for everybody's lives but ours
You know who you are, but never take the blame, you're happy with your new found fame.
But its fine, just go, it's your life so you're allowed to, but we're all having fun without you.
I'm so done, with all the silly games you play, throwing people's time away
And I don't care, if you've got somewhere else to go, but we all think that's pretty low.
Oooooh, they think that they all have the time for everybody's life but mine.
Oooooh, they think that they all have the hours for everybody's lives but ours
You know who you are, but never take the blame, you're happy with your new found fame.
But its fine, just go, it's your life so you're allowed to, but we're all having fun without you.
We're all having fun without you, you think that we don't know about you, have you ever wondered we might just doubt you, we're all having fun without you...
