We carried you in our arms on Independence Day And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so? To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No" Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so alone And life is brief It was all very painless When you went out to receive All that false instruction Which we never could believe And now the heart is filled with gold As if it was a purse But, oh, what kind of love is this Which goes from bad to worse? Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so alone And life is brief We pointed you the way to go And scratched your name in sand Though you just thought it was nothing more Than a place for you to stand I want you to know that while we watched You discovered no one would be true That I myself was among The ones who thought It was just a childish thing to do Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so alone And life is brief

You won't even look my way Is there nothing I can say To make us how we used to be You won't even know this's me Tell me what came over you To make you ex so one through? You said you love me endlessly Now this is how it's gonna be Well it's gonna be a sea of tears for me It's gonna be a life of the misery How many games will you make me play Before you can give me the time of day Act like I don't exist What kind of love is this You turn on me so suddenly Now this is how it's gonna be Well it's gonna be a sea of tears for me It's gonna be a life of the? How many days will you make me? Before you can give me the time again Well it's gonna be a sea of tears for me Well it's gonna be a sea of tears for me

I write your name in my breath on the window Sit and watch as it fades away The painful memories Of the tears of yesterday The sky is cold and gray Just like it was when we both went our separate ways And the rain won't wash away All the dirt of my mistakes So I write your name in my breath on the window Sit and watch as it fades away The painful memories Of the tears of yesterday The deafening sound of rain It's not enough to drown my thoughts to ease the pain So instead I'll soak it in While I stare outside again And I write your name in my breath on the window Sit and watch as it fades away The painful memories Of the tears of yesterday I try so hard, but I can't seem to let go I lost so much when you walked away The painful memories Of the tears of yesterday The sun just won't seem to come out Not since you walked away Now I cannot escape I cannot escape the rain The rain So I write your name in my breath on the window Sit and watch as it fades away The painful memories Of the tears of yesterday I try so hard, but I can't seem to let go I lost so much when you walked away The painful memories Of the tears of yesterday Yesterday Yesterday

You couldn't find your peace Within the bitterness that burns For the Sleeping Dogs that lie Forever to return, forever to return Gone but not forgotten You cut me down just to watch me bleed Gone but not forgotten I gave you the last word and that's the last thing you'll take from me Isn't justice that you hope? Believe in the story that you sell For the Sleeping Dogs that lie They are live and well, live and well Gone but not forgotten You cut me down just to watch me bleed Gone but not forgotten I gave you the last word and that's the last thing you take from me Gone but not forgotten You cut me down just to watch me bleed Gone but not forgotten I gave you the last word and that's the last thing you take from me The last thing you take from me The last thing you take from me

I'm looking for pleasure My pleasure is pain I know that the night is calling for the evil shuffle again It starts with a feeling I'm losing control There's blood on the ceiling, baby, and the voices call from below (Yea) Mad man living inside me He won't let me go Mad man who's smiling so frightening Turn my night to a beautiful nightmare (Yea) I crawl in the shadows I pray on the weak When I do the evil shuffle, yea, you won't be moving you feet I'll never escape it Death brings me to life You'll cry for mercy baby but the laughter is getting you high Mad man living inside me He won't let me go Mad man who's smiling so frightening Turn my night to a beautiful nightmare Mad man who lives inside me Driving me crazy all night long Doing the evil shuffle Is really where I do belong Is where I do belong Mad man living inside me He won't let me go Mad man who's smiling so frightening Turn my night to a beautiful nightmare (Yea)

Count the seconds, catch my breath Feelings come and go again Count my blessings, hope they hear me too, too Trapped inside this spider web Scared of life and scared of death Trapped inside these walls I built of doom, doom Won't you let me, won't you let me through? (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Don't regret me, even when I do I've been calling out for someone Mouth around the gun Nothing feels right Nothing feels right All the pain gets trapped in my lungs Drowning in my blood Nothing feels right Nothing feels right Is it a lost fight Or is it a long drive home? Long drive home Lost what I've been dreaming of One eye open, one eye shut Lost the only ones I'll ever love, yeah My reflection beats me up Smiling as I take that punch My reflection is my favorite drug, yeah, yeah, yeah Won't you let me, won't you let me through? (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Don't regret me, even when I do I've been calling out for someone Mouth around the gun Nothing feels right Nothing feels right All the pain gets trapped in my lungs Drowning in my blood Nothing feels right Nothing feels right Is it a lost fight Out on the front line? Will I watch the sunrise As I take the long drive home? Long drive home Long drive home Long drive home I've been calling out for someone Mouth around the gun Nothing feels right Nothing feels right All the pain gets trapped in my lungs Drowning in my blood Nothing feels right Nothing feels right Nothing feels right Nothing feels right Nothing feels right Nothing feels right Is it a lost fight Out on the front line? Will I watch the sunrise As I take the long drive home?
