You knew I would fall Before I would break And you knew it all All that I could take I don’t know why I thought it was you I’d change the hands of time If only I knew ‘Cause I’ve seen the best and worst that’s inside of me Dreams are all mixed up with reality It could’ve been anyone Been anyone A Thousand Hearts could’ve bloomed here before You came into view and it had to be yours And all the wasted time is reminding me of Searching for you in another’s touch But if I knew then, what I know now Then baby I swear I’d be making you proud It’s taken some time, but now I realize I’m yours ‘Cause if I knew then, what I know now We’d climb to the top and we’d never look down I was waiting for something But it’s not for nothing anymore I was chasing a light From a star that’s out of reach But you can’t stand how I just might Not stay so weak ‘Cause I’ve seen the best and worst that’s inside of me Dreams are all mixed up with reality It could’ve been anyone Been anyone A Thousand Hearts could’ve bloomed here before You came into view and it had to be yours And all the wasted time is reminding me of Searching for you in another’s touch But If I knew then, what I know now Then baby I swear I’d be making you proud It’s taken some time, but now I realize I’m yours ‘Cause if I knew then, what I know now We’d climb to the top and we’d never look down I was waiting for something But it’s not for nothing anymore ‘Cause I’ve seen the best and worst that’s inside of me Dreams are all mixed up with reality It could’ve been anyone Been anyone A Thousand Hearts could’ve bloomed here before You came into view and it had to be yours And all the wasted time is reminding me of Searching for you in another’s touch But If I knew then, what I know now Then baby I swear I’d be making you proud It’s taken some time, but now I realize I’m yours ‘Cause if I knew then, what I know now We’d climb to the top and we’d never look down I was waiting for something But it’s not for nothing anymore

The Recipe 03:31
Who decided when the words came out? You said I couldn’t have these selfish doubts, I know But I’m thinking it’s the fact that I can Your self destructing from the inside out Never find a way to talk it out, I know But I’m thinking it’s the fact that I can But you wouldn’t waste away those thoughts I never had and you wouldn’t waste away Because it’s honesty and things you promise me Always on a list and growing constantly then I said I thought our love was just a recipe Who would’ve thought that it’d mean everything to me You know you’re beautiful without that dress If time is fleeting let’s embrace this mess I know And if that’s a fact you won’t need it at all But you wouldn’t waste away those thoughts I never had and you wouldn’t waste away Because it’s honesty and things you promise me Always on a list and growing constantly Then I said I thought our love was just a recipe Who would’ve thought that it’d mean everything And in the morning light we’ll turn the wrongs to right Rearrange the odds and we can save tonight I thought our love was just a recipe Who would’ve thought that it’d mean everything to me I wanna know what it’s like To barely sleep through the night And not have a care at all And though I know it’s been said I’ve had these doubts in my head But none that I can recall Because it’s honesty and things you promise me Always on a list and growing constantly Then I said I thought our love was just a recipe Who would’ve thought that it’d mean everything And in the morning light we’ll turn the wrongs to right Rearrange the odds and we can save tonight I thought our love was just a recipe Who would’ve thought that it’d mean everything to me

10 AM 03:34
10am once again and you're giving me the run around I heard you said in your head that you wanna hear a different sound The sun was hot But you were so cold We’re too young for this to be getting old And you taste the same We’ve been led astray Thought that I realized that I’m not on my own again Is it bad that I’m sad but I just don’t know why yet I was looking up You were looking down You were breathing in But I was fading out Now you can’t deny So I’ll ask why When will my love just be enough? When will my love not be a crutch? If it’s not for you Then I hope someone feels the way that I do When will my love just be enough? You used to smile with your eyes but there’s no shine anymore There’s a pain that’s replaced the magic that was there before Now I’m caught up In the middle Between a hard place That should be simple I’ve lost the words to say But decided what’s best for me When will my love just be enough? When will my love not be a crutch? If it’s not for you Then I hope someone feels the way that I do When will my love just be enough? Now I’m caught up In the middle Between a hard place That should be simple It should be simple When will my love just be enough? When will my love not be a crutch? If it’s not for you Then I hope someone feels the way that I do When will my love just be enough?

You hate to say it but you’re not okay You love this game but you know that I won’t play She’s 23 with a teenage dream Another pull of this and it’s all done And for the record in her eyes she’s second to none From the pills, cheap thrills and nicotine It’s like I’m digging up a picket fence There’s nothing worse than losing confidence I still lie awake with the memories For crying out loud Tell me something You where all that I want But now you made me believe That I can’t depend on anyone after all For crying out loud What did you think You say we’re changing, and I would agree But how can you fight the feeling When you don’t feel anything at all Where can I put you in this one track mind? I was growing comfortable with leaving you behind In this never ending race? But if I gave you what you want, would you remember my name? You were indestructible, how’d you end up in flames? And still try to lie straight to my face My face, so For crying out loud Tell me something You were all that I want But now you made me believe That I can’t depend on anyone after all For crying out loud What did you think You say we’re changing, and I would agree But how can you fight the feeling When you don’t feel anything at all It’s like I’m digging up a picket fence There’s nothing worse than losing confidence So stay close erase those memories For crying out loud Tell me something You we’re all that I want But now you made me believe That I can’t depend on anyone after all For crying out loud What did you think You say we’re changing, and I would agree But how can you fight the feeling When you don’t feel anything and How can you fight the feeling When you don’t feel anything at all Anything at all (Anything at all)

So what's it mean When every dream I have's about you now? I can't believe You get to me the way you do somehow It's criminal Believe me It's easy to let this go deeper The taste could be sweeter, come on You're too strong And far gone I'll keep my composure, just tell me What this is really all about I feel you tearing down Castles in my head While we're in different beds So what's it mean When every dream I have's about you now? I can't believe You get to me the way you do somehow It's criminal It's criminal It's criminal I'm sideways Can I say you pull me to pieces Just tell me your secrets, come on For what it's worth I'm most concerned with how you got me here in the first place So what’s it really all about I feel you tearing down Castles in my head While we're in different beds So what's it mean When every dream I have's about you now? I can't believe You get to me the way you do somehow It's criminal It's criminal Believe me It's easy to let this go deeper The taste could be sweeter, come on You're too strong And far gone I'll keep my composure, just tell me What’s it really all about I feel you tearing down Castles in my head While we're in different beds And I'm a world away Somehow you'll come find me To close to stay on track Tossing and turning back It's criminal So what's it mean When every dream I have's about you now? (Its criminal) I can't believe You get to me the way you do somehow It's criminal It's criminal (For what it's worth) (I'm most concerned with how you got me here in the first place)

One year ago with a flower in hand One year ago we wrote our names in the sand The wind would blow your summer hair (One year ago) Once easy love, now you're making it rough You know I try and say it's never enough You left with ease and didn't care (One year ago) What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna finally get some sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone (When you're dead and gone) Ten years from now we'll be tired and old Ten years from now we won't ever leave home Singing "I'll be there for you" (Ten years from now) Give me the one and only reason that could make me believe You were everything I want, But not the thing that I need It's hard to say, it's sad but true What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna finally get some sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna finally get some sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone You only get redemption when you're dead and gone Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh When you're dead and gone
