| It seems I’ve fallen short of everything that I have felt inside
|
| From empty promises to discontent and broken compromise
|
| Now looking back I may have said I had the answers to it all
|
| But after digging deeper, regret seems to be my downfall
|
| Another episode in the never-ending consequence
|
| Of boy meets girl and love and the apple of their punishment
|
| A tear is shed as boy parts girl to go their separate ways
|
| In hopes to find another one someday
|
| And now I’ve found the secret to the broken-hearted
|
| Take a stand and I’ll guide you to the very end
|
| I’ve only found myself here a million times or more
|
| Enough to shed some light on what’s in store
|
| 'Cause I built my life around the black and white
|
| And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight
|
| And though my heart’s in transit, and this time it’s branded
|
| It’s the simplest things that I miss inside
|
| 'Cause I built my life around the black and white
|
| And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight
|
| Well, stay just where we are, shout out from miles afar, screaming
|
| I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess I’m just trying too hard
|
| I’ve sold friends and traded them for tears
|
| I gave up hope when nothing looked so clear
|
| I can’t repeat the past, nor can I make it last
|
| But all I wish tonight is that I’ll get this right
|
| Of boy meets girl and love and the apple of their punishment
|
| A tear is shed as boy parts girl to go their separate ways
|
| Only knowing things are never gonna change
|
| And now I’ve found the secret to the broken-hearted
|
| Take a stand and I’ll guide you to the very end
|
| I’ve only found myself here a million times or more
|
| Enough to shed some light on what’s in store
|
| 'Cause I built my life around the black and white
