Verse 1
The world has lost its mystery for me,
i’ve become so discontent.
I can't keep this up much longer.
I'm done being stronger.
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but why do i let your name get to me.
The words you speak cut like knives,
so deep straight through my arteries.
Chorus
I tried too hard, gave too much.
And just as easily i’ve given up.
On all the things you ever meant to me,
and all the futures i thought we’d ever see.
But none of that really matters now.
I’ve give up on you somehow.
Verse 2
Now all of my friends are imaginary,
It's the way its always been.
I'm all packed up. With nowhere to go.
It's such shame, real darn shame
This house was never a home.
The words you speak cut like knives,
so deep straight through my arteries.
Chorus
I tried too hard, gave too much.
And just as easily i’ve given up.
On all the things you ever meant to me,
and all the futures i thought we’d ever see.
Bridge
I'm moving on, Stepping out.
Sick of all this fear and doubt.
I didn't think getting over you,
Would be this easy.
I tried too hard, gave too much.
And just as easily i’ve given up.
On all the things you ever meant to me,
And all the futures i thought we'd ever see.
I tried too hard, gave too much.
And just as easily i’ve given up. x2
On all the things you ever meant to me,

Verse 1
I'm not afraid to die,
but I'd like to live while I've got time.
I've always wondered what it’d be like,
living as a ghost.
Watching what becomes of me,
Who I’ll meet and what I'll see.
Will I be remembered
Chorus
And now it's late at night,
I lay in the dark unable to sleep.
I keep on holding my breathe real tight;
when I'm trying to breath.
I've been dreaming of a way out,
From this life and the mess that is me.
I'll say goodbye for now,
With a hope it's the last night in this town.
Woah woah last night in this town Woah Woah
Verse 2:
I know, i know.
I need to make the most
Of the time I've got here.
I sit around waiting
for my life to change.
I think you can show me how,
Because i know i need this now,
I just wanna be remembered.
Chorus:
And now it's late at night,
I lay in the dark unable to sleep.
I keep on holding my breathe real tight;
when I'm trying to breath.
Ive been dreaming of a way out,
From the life and the mess that is me.
So I'll say goodbye for now,
With a hope it's the last night in this town.
Bridge x2:
So ill say goodbye,
to the life that i once knew.
I think you’ll find,
that i'm not leaving you.
But i’m thinking,
this is the start of something.
I'm wondering.
Chorus:
And now it's late at night,
I lay in the dark unable to sleep.
I keep on holding my breathe real tight;
When I'm trying to breath.
Im dreaming of a way out,
from this life and mess that is me.
I'll say goodbye for now
With a hope it's the last night in this town.
Woah woah last night in this town
Woah woah last night in this town

Verse
I need this to belong,
I've never felt at home till now.
I've only ever been a fuck up,
just wanting to fit in.
I day dream about where i want to be.
Coz I've always wanted to be there.
None of this comes easy,
but its all that i care about.
I know my head is in the clouds,
i’m just trying to make you proud.
Chorus
I’ve never really felt apart of anything,
until now and i'm too afraid to let go.
I do my best to hide the scars,
and cover the pain.
But i think im too naive to realise,
that i wear my heart on my sleeve.
Verse
Things has changed
and its for the best.
I can only hope and pray,
that it keeps going my way.
i’m still trying to make you proud
but i don’t know how much more i can take,
before i break.
Chorus
I’ve never really felt apart of anything,
until now and i'm too afraid to let go.
I do my best to hide the scars,
and cover the pain.
But i think im too naive to realise,
that i wear my heart on my sleeve.
Bridge
Now i know,
i just need to let go.
Of the past,
and everything holding me back .
But i dont know how, when its all I've known.

Verse
I lost myself amidst the fault lines.
Fell in with a crowd who always stepped out of time.
The ground it shook the skeleton in me,
lost my nerve without cavalry.
When it came to war,
It was all in the name of glory.
But we all know,
It was me who never did time.
Pre-Chorus
I saw the clock tick and ran for my life.
Chorus
But one day I'll hold true to my name,
Pick up the pieces and take all the blame.
Here's to hoping you never find out,
How much of a mess I was when I struck out.
Verse
It's taken awhile for me to believe,
there's time and a place for things to work simultaneously.
Right now I'm happy,
happier then I've ever been before.
Coz life's planning out,
how I imagined it be.
But we still know,
it's me who never did time.
Pre-Chorus
The clock kept on ticking as I ran for my life.
Chorus x2:
But one day I'll hold true to my name,
Pick up the pieces and take all the blame.
Here's to hoping you never find out,
How much a mess I was when I struck out.
Outro
Let me hold onto what I believe, Let me hold on.
HOLDFAST
Let me hold onto what I believe, let me hold on.
HOLDFAST

Verse 1
We are the lost kids,
the hopeless ones.
Musics in our blood.
It keeps our hearts beating.
Verse 2
The beat we keep
is one of our own,
but it keeps us moving
Yeah it keeps us moving
Chorus
So here it is the generic pop punk song,
the one you’ll be singing
long after we're gone.
We just wanna, we just wanna stay on your mind.
Verse 3
We are the lost kids,
the hopeless ones.
We have big dreams,
that pull us along.
Verse 4
Imperfect misfits,
that’ll prove you wrong.
With even bigger things,
that keep us moving on.
Chorus x 2
So here it is the generic pop punk song,
The one you’ll be singing
long after we're gone.
We just want to stay on your mind.
Instrumental
Chorus out x 2
So here it is the generic pop punk song,
The one you’ll be singing
long after we're gone.
We just want to stay on your mind.
