Who are you? I don't understand I was seventeen with the world in my hands God, I really hate this And all you have to say You think you know me, but I'm not the same I don't have to fight it Not on every day And win or lose to hopelessness, but in a different way I don't mean to fail you, but I'd leave it all behind The brass is loud and breaking, but I'll sing it one more time So let me down slowly So let me down slowly I don't wanna stay up, I'm a let down Screaming in the backseat Wishing I was home now I don't wanna give up that's a cop out Living off the bad heat Sticking to my clothes now It's like every other week, what a long year When i look around it's like everything's my worst fear I don't wanna stay up, I'm a let down Screaming in the backseat wishing I was home now So let me down slowly So let me down slowly So let me down slowly It's like every other week, what a long year When I look around it's like everything's my worst fear It's like every other week, what a long year When I look around it's like everything's my worst fear

For more or less For better or for worse Slam the door, a window flies open Feel the contours of my words I am bruised but not broken For better or for worse For more or less Don't look backwards Don't look forwards Mom has been my compass Has been my compass I call you from the crossroads Come and be good to me And treat me right Who knows the direction the winds will blow? Come and kiss me softly in this hard life Whisper sweet things and just let go And just let go And just let me go And just let go And just let go And just let go Come and be good to me And treat me right Who knows the direction winds will blow? Winds will blow Don't look forwards Don't look forwards And just let me go For better or for worse More or less Don't look backward and don't look forwards Mom has been my compass Has been my compass I call you, I call you from the crossroads Come and be good to me Treat me right Who knows the direction winds will blow? Come and kiss me softly in this hard life Whisper sweet things and just let me go

I don't love you anymore It's been a while and I am sure You left me for another girl You left me in a broken world You left me lying in the street You left me without body heat I curled into rust My body turned into dust I couldn't get out of the hole I was so lonely, all alone When the phone rang, I wasn't there When my parents called, I just sat and stared I went to sleep Hoped that my life I could cheat Take me off the face of this lonely world Let me turn and turn in your love It's been a while And I don't love you anymore You walked away from me Out of the blue and you were free I was such a fool I gave more to keep things cool But if you showed up at my door This is what I'd implore I don't love you anymore I don't love you anymore You left me in a cage My only defense was rage

Execution It's an american dream Have no mercy on me Please don't have mercy Don't let them prove I was wrong When we know so bad what's right Don't let them dig up my grave Sometimes a feeling is reason enough Execution It's an american dream Like the chinese and the saudis The north koreans and the nigerians If europe takes it away Inject me with something else Fill me up with something else And if they try to take our love away Please don't have mercy!
