Advice 03:17
We don’t have all day! Your luck’s just like mine! You’re always whining, It seems like you’re always complaining. And even on sunny days you say, “Why won’t my heart stop raining?” We don’t have all day To sit around and complain! If I were you I just might think twice Before opening my mouth, And shutting out advice. Your talk is too smooth, And if you knew what was good for you Then why don’t you Accept the fact that what you get is yours? And don’t go knocking on someone else’s door. We don’t have all day To sit around and complain! If I were you I just might think twice Before opening my mouth, And shutting out advice. Instrumental We don’t have all day To sit around and complain! If I were you I just might think twice Before opening my mouth, And shutting you out! We don’t have all day To sit around and complain! If I were you I just might think twice Before opening my mouth, And shutting out advice.

Crash & Burn 03:05
You’re searching for the answers, Well, who wouldn’t be in your position? Never heal the hurt that’s Sweeping over me. Your nerves are still in shock, From all the methamphetamines That you’ve been inhaling all evening. So you see, when it comes to the test You crash and burn like all the rest. You’re not convincing anyone of anything. Yeah! You’re lying to yourself. And when you go to sleep at night, You’re waking up the same. Same game! Your days and nights are wasted on Philosophies that you’ve created And are never grounded in reality. You don’t know Why you’re here, So you just kill away All of your pain and fear. When it comes to the test You crash and burn like all the rest. You’re not convincing anyone of anything. Yeah! You’re lying to yourself. And when you go to sleep at night, You’re waking up the same. Same game! Instrumental You’re not convincing anyone of anything. Yeah! You’re lying to yourself. And when you go to sleep at night, You’re waking up the same. Same game!

Easy Way Out 03:41
As you look back on your past, The whole thing just seems so easy. Memories remind you of days, You wish you could take them back. You took the easy way out in everything, Obviously not concentrating. But in time you'll find You're warning others not to find The easy way out. Yesterday you just found out what last week was all about, So you ran. You just got done having fun at your girlfriend's house, Now she's pregnant so you run. You took the easy way out in everything, Obviously not concentrating. But in time you'll find You're warning others not to find The easy way out. Instrumental You took the easy way out in everything, Obviously not concentrating. But in time you'll find You're warning others not to find The easy way out.

Drop Dead 02:49
I have begun to realize That time is not on my side. It seems so clear That you, my dear Are gently killing me. And I cannot find the words to say To make you leave You've bound me up inside your promises And now I cannot breathe You know the truth, The things I say to you. But now I'm giving up. She's making me fall in love again. She made me drop dead. And I never thought that she could be The one who's killing me. It's been so long Since we first met, Now my heart is filled with regret. Angry with me eternally, Yet never accepting apology. And I cannot find the words to say To make you leave You've bound me up inside your promises And now I cannot breathe You know the truth, The things I say to you. But now I'm giving up. She's making me fall in love again. She made me drop dead. And I never thought that she could be The one who's killing me. Never have been, never could be Closer to me. And I don't know why I feel this way, With all that I say. She's making me fall in love again. She made me drop dead. And I never thought that she could be The one who's killing me.

The Only One 02:47
Don’t you break my heart, Because I can’t even start, Imaging me coming to you Begging you to stay. This is not the end, The end where it began, Where I began imagining me Begging you to stay. Oh girl! Oh girl! Can’t you see, That you’re the only one For me? Oh girl! Oh girl! Can’t you see, That you’re the only one For me? Now, girl you’re so fine. But don’t be so unkind. I wanna make you happy Every minute, every day. And you say I’m no fun, But I haven’t begun Showing you how much fun That we would have Every day. Oh girl! Oh girl! Can’t you see, That you’re the only one For me? Oh girl! Oh girl! Can’t you see, That you’re the only one For me? Instrumental Oh girl… Oh girl… Can’t you see, That you’re the only one For me? Oh girl! Oh girl! Can’t you see, That you’re the only one? Yeah yeah yeah! Oh girl! Oh girl! Can’t you see, That you’re the only one For me?

Tired 04:03
Dancing the night away, staying up all night. And sleeping through the day, sleeping through the day. You're starting to wonder now, what is this life for? All you do is nothing. Nothing more and more... Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing more and more. You're wondering, wondering, what is your life for? You've been searching, searching, but you haven't found a door. You're wondering, wondering, what is your life for? You've been searching, searching, but you haven't found a door. Are you tired of stress that these days require. A token for some rest and a payment for a smile. Yet you still have time to party day and night. So quit your whining, suck it up, this is a part of life. Nothing, nothing, nothing nothing more and more. You're wondering, wondering, what is your life for? You've been searching, searching, but you haven't found a door. You're wondering, wondering, what is your life for? You've been searching, searching, but you haven't found a door. Instrumental Tired of all the stress, all the responsibilities. You're tired of all the stress, all the responsibilities. You're wondering, wondering, what is your life for? You've been searching, searching, but you haven't found a door. You're wondering, wondering, what is your life for? You've been searching, searching, searching.

I see you clearly coming Back from a huge fistfight. You stumble blindly as you Try to walk with all your might. Obviously something’s not working Out for you very well, my friend. I think you need to go back to Some principles that were brought By a man. He was an answer to Most men’s prayers. Died for us, but we Still live foolishly. What else can i say? You luckily made it back home, Look, you’re still alive. This could have been your last night, What would have happened if you died? You search your mind, heart and Still forget, you still don’t know. You see, I know the answer to this question. I know where I’m going to go. You see, for you it’s not too late. So why do you wait? If you died tonight, Don’t you want your heart To be right? What else can I say? You see, for you it’s not too late. So why do you wait? If you died tonight, Don’t you want your heart To be right? What else can I say? He was an answer to Most men’s prayers. Died for us, but we Still live foolishly. He was an answer to Most men’s prayers. Died for us, but we Still live foolishly. He was an answer to Most men’s prayers. Died for us, but we Still live foolishly. He was an answer to Most men’s prayers. Died for us, but we Still live foolishly…

What have you decided, through those thoughts and fears? Have they come to life throughout those long long years? And if you knew what was good for you, You would pack your bags and leave. Get out of this town, far away from me. And we'd be good, finally we would be happy! We would live our lives with no more misery. And we'd be good, finally we would be happy! We would live our lives with no more misery. And what if all these things you thought finally came true to you? Would you count your blessings daily? And when you find that perfect guy, Don't forget what you did to me. And you better pray that That perfect guy will never talk to me! And we'd be good, finally we would be happy! We would live our lives with no more misery. And we'd be good, finally we would be happy! We would live our lives with no more misery. No more you and me. No more misery, No more misery, No more you and me. Instrumental And we'd be good, finally we would be happy! We would live our lives with no more misery. And we'd be good, finally we would be happy! We would live our lives with no more misery.

He Realized 03:41
Sitting down at that little table, He didn’t know it’d be fatal. He didn’t know that the color he was, Was wrong. I guess, what took him so long? Now he realized. Now he realized. When will he find out The truth in his lies? When will he find out The truth in his little lies? Some guys walked in and They looked at him. They said he Looked like sin. They laughed some more And they walked away. And to this day He doesn’t look at himself The same. Now he realized. Now he cries. He realizes he cries. When will he find out The truth in his lies? When will he find out The truth in his little lies? Instrumental When will he find out The truth in his lies? When will he find out The truth in his little lies?
