Lyrics A Day To Remember - Westfall

It's the start of a brand new day
And I'm struggling to stay awake
So I can just stumble outside

Losing hope and my whole life
I'm just scraping by
Hoping no one will notice me

Here I am again
Trying to give in
To another bitter end

I don't think it'd be wrong
To be alone tonight
Please make this all end

(And I'm watching the lights flow by)

Watching the cars pass
Thinking they won't last
Darkness clouds all of my windows
Darkness clouds all of my windows

Taking my last breath
Time flows out my chest
I have lost the will to be
I have lost the will to be

Here I am again
Trying to give in
To another bitter end

I don't think it'd be wrong
To be alone tonight
Please make this end

And I could've changed the world
with my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
with my accomplishments

Here I am again
Trying to give in
To another bitter end

I don't think it'd be wrong
To be alone tonight
Please make this end

And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments
And I could've changed the world
With my accomplishments

Lyrics A Day To Remember - It's Complicated

Here we go again, another night of being bummed.
I'll keep to myself, avoid the sun,
And cancel plans with everyone I know.
Cause this is how it always ends:
Our bond will break cause you can’t relate
To anyone, to anything at all.

You brought your worst and I’m right here.
Now I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear.

You’re not the person that I knew back then.
It’s all too late to set things straight cause everything has been.
Ynu’re not the person that I knew back then.
Let's try and act like this didn’t happen. 
Move on with your friends like you ever had them.

You still know me, still not cut out for this sort of thing.
Never one to be caught in between,
I need constant reminders of everything.
So what? It’s who I am, but I think I've played it off so well.
I just hold it in, no matter how I’ve been, 
So nobody, nobody can tell.

You brought your worst and I’m right here.
Now I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear.

You’re not the person that I knew back then.
It’s all too late to set things straight cause everything has been.
You’re not the person that I knew back then.
Let's try and act like this didn’t happen. 
Move on with your friends like you ever had them.

I won’t sleep till the break of dawn (break of dawn)
I can't let our problems find me here, so everybody come on!

You brought your worst and I’m right here.
I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear.

You’re not the person that I knew back then.
It’s all too late to set things straight cause everything has been.
You’re not the person that I knew back then.
Let's try and act like this didn’t happen. 
Move on with your friends like you ever had them.

You’re not the person that I knew back then.
It’s all too late to set things straight cause everything has been.
You’re not the person that I knew back then.
Let's try and act like this didn’t happen. 
Move on with your friends like you ever had them.

Lyrics A Day To Remember - Out Of Time

I’ve never felt so sober
I’ve never felt the low that I feel tonight
Your words made everything drag on and on
I finally found her,
and when I did I just couldn’t make things right.
Is this really happening?
Oh God I think I just ruined my life

What the fuck am I doing?
I can’t tell the difference from wrong and right
I second guess my decisions
Cause I haven’t been this person in my whole life
I think I need something new here
When I keep longing for what I had
No need for second opinions
I do the best I can to ruin what I have
Come on

Don’t think you’ve got to go it alone here
I’ve got nothing left to hide
You've got time, just make up your mind

I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we’re running out of time

Let's have three cheers for the new year
(Hey, hey, hey)
Here's to hoping it's not as bad
This wasn't part of my vision
The optimist in me swore we could make this last, but no
You ruined my favorite records
I listen to them and think of you
I just hope you remember
All of the countless times that I believed in you, for what?

Don’t think you’ve got to go it alone here
I’ve got nothing left to hide
You've got time, just make up your mind

I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we’re running out of time

Just know that it kills me
When I hear anything to do with you
If you don't see it, just believe me
I need to be right where you are
You know that I’m leaving (I'm leaving),
And you won't hear until a year from now
But this kills me (this kills me)
Cause now I hate that everything's, everything's about you

I thought this was what you wanted
Someone who gets everything right (Gets everything right)
I thought this was what you wanted
Someone to put you first in their life
Cause we’re running out of time

Don’t think you’ve got to go it alone here
I’ve got nothing left to hide
You've got time, just make up your mind

Lyrics A Day To Remember - Have Faith In Me

Have faith in me
Cause there are things that I've seen I don't believe
So cling to what you know and never let go
You should know things aren't always what they seem

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I'm going crazy
Cause there are things in the streets I don't believe
So we'll pretend it's alright (pretend it's alright)
and stay in for the night
Oh what a world
I'll keep you safe here with me (with me)

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall

They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall

Have faith in me

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did (Go, Did)
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it (Fall, Meant It)
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did

Lyrics A Day To Remember - Here's To The Past

Here's to the past

Let's all think back on what brought us here
This is my grasp on what is real
Don't tell me how I feel
With all that's passed I can't relate
With myself from day to day
why does everything seem so far away
to me

There's no turning back from here
I've got to get away from everyone who's left
Everyone who's left
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away

We've all been down this path before
You're trapped in this town
And it wears you down
When we leave today then maybe you'll understand
This constant struggle isn't always in the palm of my hand

There's no turning back from here
I've got to get away from everyone who's left
Everyone who's left
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away

This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time
This man will stand the test of time

I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
I'll tell the saddest story
Of how we made it through this past year
(Past year, past year...)
They said we'd walk away
You'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself
they said we'd fade away

Lyrics A Day To Remember - Last Request

They noticed the ways you changed
Over the years that we've all stayed the same.
Look back through the past,
Yet, we all knew that you wouldn't last.

You see yourself in the puddles left from the rain,
And all to remember is your stain.
Just live your life. Live it for yourself and be happy.
So you're wrong in the way you wanted to be.
The only one who matters is you.

Now watch you slip away
To your ledge you've chosen finally.
You picked your role; you've played your part,
But what you didn't know this plays a tragedy.

You see yourself in the puddles left from the rain,
And all to remember is your stain.
Just live your life. Live it for yourself and be happy.
So you're wrong in the way you wanted to be.
The only one who matters is you.

What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where you were coming from.
What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where we were coming from.
What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where we were coming from.
What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where you were coming from.

'Cause it breaks my heart
'Cause it breaks my heart
'Cause it breaks my heart
'Cause it breaks...

Just live your life. Live it for yourself and be happy.
So you're wrong in the way you wanted to be.
The only one who matters is...

What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where you were coming from.
What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where we were coming from.
What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where we were coming from.
What you waiting for?
I bet you didn't know where we were coming from.

Lyrics A Day To Remember - Welcome To The Family

We're finally alone at last
Oh how I've waited for this day to come
There's just something about you that rubs me wrong
You're not worth my attention
I built this with my own two hands
If you could spare me the time
Stop using me as your next misconception

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

It won't be long before you meet your end
You're nothing more than a passing trend
So keep those cameras rolling
You think I wouldn't remember?
You thought that I would lose faith in myself
You can spare me the lies
You don't believe in me
Your life's a contradiction

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

We draw the line at being in your life
Here's to the man of the hour
We'll cast out problems aside
Cheers to your future, may they bury you alive

Move!

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

Lyrics A Day To Remember - Heartless

For once my eyes are open to you, and everything you've said. 
For once your web of lies is in the open. 
I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left. 
Now still you act as if I'm just a burden.
I've finally let go. Let go, let go.

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart 
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

I've been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life. 
I'm damaged from the inside. I've been broken. 
Don't threaten me with what you think I feel. 
If you could read my mind you'd be in tears.

I'm sick of your excuses you hold above me.
I've finally come to terms with what I am.
I'm nothing in your eyes, and this will not change.
I'm living in a dream.

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on. 
'Cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart 
I've been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

And I'll close my eyes, and I'll dream of a better time 
When I'll be finally past this and I'll be happy on my own. 
I've done all I can, and still I'm the one to be cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who would wipe those tears from your eyes. 
But I guess I'll play second best, to a world that will never care about you. 
You'll never understand you're just another pretty face
You'll tell me that you care, and then run straight back to him. 
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away.
 
You never did know how to whisper.

You're such a liar. Tell me the truth. 
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth. 
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth. 
Do the world a favor, stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat.

Lyrics A Day To Remember - A Second Glance

This is for you (this is for you).
You're the one worth waiting for.
You're all I ever needed in this life.

Let's take a look back, so we can see,
What it took to bring us here and we're
So reminded of better days,
When we were both happy.

This is for you (this is for you).
You're the one worth waiting for.
You're all I ever needed in this life. 
[x2]

Words can't express,
the impact you've made on me,
And -- in my entire life.
And all I can say is that I love you,
For everything it turned out to be.

This is for you (this is for you).
You're the one worth waiting for.
You're all I ever needed in this life. 
[x2]

Cause I try,
So hard to make this right (right).

You've got my back on the wall.

After all you've put me through,
My friends still stay true. 
[x2]

Your reign is over,
Why couldn't you prove me wrong? 
[x2]

Lyrics A Day To Remember - All I Want

I’m always screaming my lungs out
Till my head starts spinning
Playing my songs is the way I cope with life
Won’t keep my voice down
Know the words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud

I like to keep things honest.
I’m a safe bet like your life’s staked on it, for real
I’d hate to keep you all wondering
I’m a constant like the seasons 
I will never be forgotten, man

Let’s leave no words unspoken
And save regrets for the broken
Will you even look back when you think of me?

All I want is a place to call my own,
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low

Still got something left to prove
It tends to keep things moving
While everyone around me says my last days are looming overhead
But what the hell do they think they know?
My head's above the water while they drown in the undertow

Let’s leave no words unspoken
And save regrets for the broken
Will you even look back when you think of me?

All I want is a place to call my own,
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low
All I want is a place to call my own,
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low

And if you take it from me,
Live your life for yourself
Cause when it’s all said and done you don’t need anyone else, come on

So let’s get back to when everything seemed perfect
Not a worry in the world, tell me was it all worth it?
I get what I want, so everyone’s always judging me
I’m not afraid of anything, I’ve got the whole world in front of me

All I want is a place to call my own,
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low
All I want is a place to call my own,
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa
You know to keep your hopes up high and your head down low

Keep your head down low
Keep your head down low
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low
