i want the world to go away 
i want to find the words to say 
so i can start to speak my mind 
trying to look straight ahead 
is like trying to take back what i said 
it seems i'm running out of time 

they say in the end i'll be okay
 i can't look back at yesterday 
and i can only blame myself 
for holding back from how i feel 
holding out for something real 
for keeping my heart on the shelf 

there's got to be much more to life there's got to be a better day 
why is it always a wasted night? there's got to be a better way 

you know exactly what to do 
you gotta know i envy you 
cause what you say you want is real 
you always said that it was fate 
oh how i wish i could relate 
but i don't know how i should feel
