Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It wasn't workin', we started
Not in my eyes
Now I'm the uninvited
One more time
[Verse 2]
Let loose in the wrong direction
With no alibi
This couldn't be more disastrous
Why do we lie?
[Verse 3]
It's not what you know, it's not how you feel
We can walk this road, we can make this real
(Why do we lie?) We can make this right, give me one more chance
Give me one more life, give me one more fight
[Verse 4]
Everything must come to pass, the present tense not made to last
Funny how life can turn your world around
If I turn off my heart after you, I'll be free
If I turn off my heart after you, I'll be free
[Verse 5]
(Baby) Promises meant forever
Future's desire (It's always something)
To be thrown against the wall (It's always something)
Out of our minds
[Verse 6]
(Baby) A piece of me clings to you
(No words) Not lettin' go (It's always something)
It's time to move on, my dear (It's always something)
Stop holdin' on
[Verse 7]
It's not what you know, it's not how you feel
We can walk this road, we can make this real
(Why do we lie?) We can make this right, give me one more chance
Give me one more life, give me one more fight
[Verse 8]
Everything must come to pass, the present tense not made to last
Funny how life can turn your world around
Everything must come to pass, the present tense not made to last
Nothing you say can turn my world around
[Verse 9]
If I turn off my heart
If I turn off my heart
If I turn off my heart after you, I'll be free
If I turn off my heart after you, I'll be free
[Verse 10]
Everything must come to pass, the present tense not made to last
Funny how life can turn your world around
Everything must come to pass, the present tense not made to last
Nothing you say can turn my world around
[Verse 11]
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na, na
Na na na, na na na
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na, na
Na na
