i try

my feet move beneath me
but my head is somewhere else
my hands move of there own accord
as i am searching through the corn
but no one's there
cause no one cares

should i care
about the life you're leading
you are bleeding all over the couch
your mouth's the only thing i care about

should i care
about the life i'm surely leaving
i've done enough reading to travel the world

when i fall
i try
when i take it all
i try
when i ruin it all for someone else i try so hard
i'll just try harder next time

would anyone mind
if i just laughed and cried at the same time
my emotions are mildy wild
like a zoo
that fits in your shoe

i've got pretty small shoes to fill
but i try to overflow them
with all my dreams and wishes
but eleven:eleven has passed
and it won't come back

when i fall
i try
when i take it all
i try
when i ruin it all for someone else i try so hard
i'll just try harder next time

do you care
about the life you're leading
you are bleeding all over my damn couch
is your money the only thing you care about

would you please care
about the life i'm surely leaving
i've done enough reading to travel the whole world round

i'm surely leaving
getting out of this town
so that you won't follow:
i'm burning this city to the ground

when i fell
i tried
when i took it all
i still tried
then i ruined it all for someone else
now i'm done trying

see for yourself what i've become

i'm a cheater
cause you made me that way
i'm a liar
you taught me what to say
i'm loud
when i'm yelling at you
i'm always yelling at you

i'm pretty
yeah i'm pretty full of it
i'm lame
i never know what i'm doing
i fall
when you push me down
you push me down again

i'm a theif
i never returned your heart
i'm a murderer
i wish this was the hardest part
i'm a bird
cause i'll fly away
oh i'll fly away

where am i
who am i
when am i
what am i doing!

i am cheater
i am a liar
i am loud
and i am proud

i am full of shit!
i am lame
i will fall down
will there be a crowd

i am a theif
i am a muderer
i am not a bird not a bird
cause you won't let me fly away
fly away
you won't let me fly away

(my headphones should play) your voice

speak to me
hold my hand as you
talk with me
keep my head up
so you can speak to me
i'll stay awake just don't hang up
cause i wanna hear you speak

well can you sing
all those lies would be much prettier if you would
sing to me
put the slander to a melody
i don't care what you say
as long as it's for me
just just just sing

oh my memory fails me
that mp3 is so boring
what do i remember
that mp4 i've heard it all before
why can't my headphones play your voice
they should play your voice in my head
why can't my headphones your voice
my headphones should play your voice
back to me when you're gone
so i can sleep
so i will dream
of your voice

even when you scream
woah! you scream so loud
even when you scream it calms me down
so scream
and yell
and shout
and pound your hands on me
anything
just scream just scream just scream just speak just sing
it helps me

oh my memory is failing me
that mp3 is so boring
my mp4 i've all that crap before
play my headphones play your voice
play my headphones play your voice
come on headphones why won't it play your voice
back to me when you're not here


when you're not here
i want your song in my heart
i want your lies in my head
just lie to me just lie to me just lie to me just lie to me just lie to me
oh i'll believe
as long as it's your voice
those three words
are even sweeter when you don't mean it
just lie to me
you know i'll believe

shhhhhh
shut off that mp3 or 4 or 5
break my headphones
turn on my memory
i don't wanna hear your voice near me
