My Turn Lyrics - hoobastank

I have been patiently waiting in line
Watching everyone passing me by
And I can't seem to figure out
When's it going to be my turn?

I'm sick and tired of paying my dues
Played the game 'til the end and I lose
So can somebody tell me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

I've always followed and played by the rules
But the prize goes to those who aren't due
Still nobody can answer me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
'Cause yesterday, I've burned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Whoa, when's it going to be my turn?
Whoa, when's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
'Cause yesterday, I've burned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

I Don't Think I Love You Lyrics - hoobastank

I wonder what you'll take from me today
Sanity or just my breath away
It's hard to say
Impossible for me to tell
We're always walking on eggshells
Who you're going to be from day to day today

[Chorus:]
I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

Wonder why it is that you don't see
What you've changed since we first met
And how much that is killing me
I know that I will always miss
The butterflies of our first kiss
And how you use to smile so easily

[Chorus:]
I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

[Bridge:]
It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never thought that it will come to this
I know we'll never get back
To how we were before
Cuz I know that I don't love you anymore

It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I know that I don't love you anymore, anymore

So Close, So Far Lyrics - hoobastank

I wake up all alone
Somewhere unfamiliar
I've been gone so many days I'm losing count
When I think of home I see your face
Though I have to wait

We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I miss hearing your laughter
All the little things
Forgotten what it's like to hold you
Cause where I am right now
So unforgiving
It's numbing everything

We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

(So promise)
No matter how long it takes for me to get back to you
You'll wait for me
(I promise)
No matter how far away I go I'll come back for you
Just wait and see

I miss being at home
I miss your face
Don't think I can wait

You're so close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
So close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I promise
It's tearing me apart
No matter how far away I go I'll come back for you
I promise
It's tearing me apart
What I would do
What I would do
What I would do, I'll be there with you

All About You Lyrics - hoobastank

Spill out my heart...
But you don't hear a word...
Cause your busy thinking bout how long til its your turn...
So you can go on and on, about yourself
Go on and on, about yourself...
And my heart can go back on the shelve...
And go on and on, about yourself...

[Chorus]
But its not all about you,
All about you,
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, YOU!!!
Its not all about you, but we'll charge without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you!!

Whatever I do, you've already done...
Only you've done it better and way before anyone...
Cause you think, that its some game to win
You think, that its some game to win...
Accomplishments and places been...
You think, that its some game to win...

[Chorus]
But its not all about you,
All about you,
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, YOU!!!
Its not all about you, but we'll charge without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you!!
Care about you, you, YOU!!!

Go on and on and on about yourself...
Go on and on and on about yourself...
The places that you go...
The places that you've been...
Why can't you say no one cares about you...

[Chorus]
Its not all about You!
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, YOU!!!
Its not all about you, but we'll charge without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you!!
Care about you

The Letter Lyrics - hoobastank

"Meet me there at midnight, same place we always go,
I'm absolutely sure he doesn't know."

Those words jump off the letter, that I found behind our
Bed, haunting me they echo in my head
In my head...

It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that I found
I've memorized it line for line
Too bad the letter isn't mine....

"When can I next see you? I've been counting down the days.
I promise you our secret will be safe."

No, I just can't continue, reading through my tears,
The meaning of the letter is so clear....

It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that I found
I've memorized it line for line
Too bad the letter isn't mine....

You wanted me to find it, girl.
You never tried to hide it, girl.
The writing nevere fades, the words are here to stay.

I hope you find this letter, I'm writing you today,
These will be the last words that I say....

It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that you've found
It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that you've found

So, memorize it line for line:
I won't be there to say you GOOD BYE.

Tears Of Yesterday Lyrics - hoobastank

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
Its 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

Sick Of Hanging On Lyrics - hoobastank

First you tell me it's over,
Then you try to get me to stay.
I'm so confused,
What am I gonna do?
You pull me in so you can push me away?
The minute you tell me you need me,
But it's right before you walk out the door!
You're hot then you're cold, now the game's getting old
Who am I supposed to be anymore?

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

Choose cause you can't have it both ways
Choose so I know what to do
Cause I can't believe that's who you're going to be
You've had your cake and now you're leaving it too!

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on
You need to make up your mind
And even though it'll stand
This is your only chance

I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

Let me go or I'll let go!

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

You're The One Lyrics - hoobastank

Tonight I'm letting go
Of all the old excuses
The fears I built so close
Cause inside I've always known
That no one else could ever do
Or ever feel like home

Theres so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure

You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken to long to say

My life began
The night we spent together
Now I cannot live
I'd die any other way

I'm not afraid

You're the one

It's hasn't always been
The best of times
But if you'd ask
I'd do it all again

(are you ready to begin)

I'm ready to begin
A brand new chapter of our lives
Just tell me where and when

(a brand new chapter in our lives)

Cause theres so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure

You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say

My life began
The night we spent together
Now I can not live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid

You're the one

[instrumental]

You're the one
Who understands
Who makes me better than I am
I do it all because of you
When all we had
Had come undone
You stood and fought
And didn't run
You're the one who
Pulled us through

You're the one
I feel it more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say

Our lives began
The night we spent together
Now I can not live
I'd die any other way

I'm not afraid
You're the one

Who The Hell Am I? Lyrics - hoobastank

Yeah!!

No more lying to myself
Pretending to myself
And now I'm hiding how I feel behind a smile
Living in constant self denial

There's something I need to say

No more running from my fights
And no more giving up when I know I'm right
Sick of trying to fit in
Wondering what I could have been

There's something I need to say
Its growing everyday
Things are going to change

I wont apologise
For who I come to be
Cos who the hell am I?
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cos who the hell am I?
If I can't be me

No more need to justify
Everything I do, everything I like
No more blood from biting my tongue
Too afraid to upset anyone

There's something I need to say

No more guilt for what I see
Staring at the mirror back at me

There's something I need to say
Its growing everyday
Things are going to change

I wont apologise
For who I come to be
Cos who the hell am I
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
Cos who the hell am I
If I can't be me

And it feels like I am naked
Stripped for you to see
My scars and imperfections
But you don't seem to notice
Cos your too busy covering up your cuts and bruises
From who knows what
Just like me
So why apologise
For who I've come to be
Cos who the hell am I
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cos this is who I am and that's fine with me

You Need To Be Here Lyrics - hoobastank

I feel the wind brush across my face like a

I feel the wind brush across my face
Like an invisible wave crashing over me
I started holding my breath the moment I left
Wondering what the day was going to bring for me

But there's no way that I could every prepare
For the scope of it all, for the chill in the air
The cold of the rain, the warmth of the day
I'm never gonna be the same

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me

It's something new and beyond every corner is a mystery
'Cause every road that I've taken
Can never be mistaken for the one that now is under my feet
And I realize with open eyes
Every second that we have is once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me

'Cause something's incomplete, not quite how it should be
And I try and I try just to live in the moment
But everything I do just leads me back to you
'Cause there is no substitute

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
You need to be here, you need to be here with me

Gone Gone Gone Lyrics - hoobastank

I've been having trouble looking in the mirror
'Cause when I do I can't stand the person that I see
All though my face is still the same underneath something has changed
From all the shit you've said and done to me, oh no, no

Don't you ever realize the damage you were doing?
Are you aware of all the mess that I've cleaned up?
And now I see just who you are, I can't believe it got this far
And it's time to say enough is enough

So I'll be gone, gone, gone, we started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone, we ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie, it's too late to apologize
By the time this song is done I'll be gone

I should have listened when my friends said you were crazy
I should've shown a little spine and self-respect
But I couldn't see the signs, the so called love had made me blind
And tied me up and left me for dead

So I'll be gone, gone, gone, we started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone, we ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie, it's too late to apologize
By the time this song is done I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Don't beg me to reconsider
Don't bother getting on your knees
'Cause there's absolutely nothing you can say to change my mind
So save your breath, save your breath

'Cause I'll be gone, we started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone, we ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie, it's too late to apologize
By the time this song is done I'll be gone, I'll be gone, yeah I'll be gone

Replace You Lyrics - hoobastank

In a darkened room
right beside the bed
There an empty suitcase waits 'til I leave again.

I try to fill it up
with things that feel like home
but no matter what goes in, I still feel alone
When I'm on my own.

[CHORUS]
No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.

Now it's time to go
and you're still sound asleep
when you wake up, next to you just cold empty sheets.

I gather all my things
from off the bedroom floor
One more kiss reminds me of what I'm leaving for
Then I close the door.

[CHORUS x2]

Nothing can ever replace you
Nothing can ever replace you

You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me

Oh...oh...
Oh...oh...
Oh...

[CHORUS x2]

Stay With Me Lyrics - hoobastank

You've felt unloved before
You've felt unwanted
You've tried to close the door on a past
in which you're haunted.

I don't know how to make it right
I don't know how to change it
I just know it wasn't your fault
So just let me say this.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

The past is a memory
The future's a mystery (the future's a mystery)
Where we'll be going
What will we be
As long as it's you and me.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me (I promise I'll be there)

You can go back if you want to
I've always been there
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me (Stay with me)

The Rules Lyrics - hoobastank

All you people listen up!
You are incapable of rational thought!
You will not think!
You will not move!
You will not clinch!
You will not have random synapse in your brain housing group! ?
Is that clear?
Sir, yes, Sir!
If I give the word, you will move!
If I do not give the word, you will not carry on random thoughts, is that clear?
Sir, yes, Sir!
You will not tell me what you think!
I don't care what you think!
What you think is irrelevant!
Lock your bodies, and stand by for command!

Born To Lead Lyrics - hoobastank

With eyes closed tightly,
I march so blindly.
Pretending everything's fine,
'Cause you're there to keep me in line.
I don't want your guidance,
I'll break my silence.
So sick of asking and being denied and now I realise.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

You can't ignore me (you can't ingnore me)
You cant think for me (you can't think for me)
Your world will come crashing down to the ground,
'Cause I figured you out.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

I use to think I'm ALL alone,
But now I see our numbers grow.
I'm not afraid to break away,
Think on my own

With eyes wide open,
My new life begins.
Without you there to tell me, when, where and how,
And you can't stop me now!

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead.

Moving Forward Lyrics - hoobastank

At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

I stand before, a road that will lead,
Into the unknown. At least unknown to me.
I want to go, but I'm paralysed with fear.
Fear of a choise, where the outcome isn't clear.

Nooo, but still I gooo.

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

I wonder if, the journey will be,
Shorter as I hope, or much longer than it seems.
But either way, I've made up my mind.
I'm through feeling scared, I'm leaving that behind.

Sooo, Now it's time to gooo.

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

And in while I''l be singing,

Na, nana nana

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.

And I take, the first step of a million more!
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before!
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward!

Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward...

Na, nana nana

Inside Of You Lyrics - hoobastank

It seems so obvious
Theres something up with us
I swear I feel it
From across the room.
So can I ask you this?
Not to be forward, miss,
But I think I'll kill myself
If I never know...

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you...

Just ask and I will do
Anything you want me to
There is no limit
To how far I will go..
And I'm sure I can't pretend
To be a gentlemen..
But before I began,
I just gotta know,
Just gotta know....

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you...

For now I'll play the game
And I'm waiting for your move
But I've got to say
That I never lose..

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you...
When I'm inside of you.
You...
You...
You...
When I'm inside of you...

The First Of Me Lyrics - hoobastank

I must make a choice
A tough decision
Listen to my voice
Should I give in
To temptation, admiration
One leads to myself
The other some one else
Just an empty shell
Just an empty shell

It's harder than it seems
When you're told that
All your hopes and dreams
Are yours to hold if
You just give them
What's expected
Something they can sell
Put upon a shelf
But I am not for sale
I am not for sale

[Chorus:]
I hear a voice inside
It's grown into a scream
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me
'cause I can't live the lie
I am just what you see
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me

If I can't refuse
The price they offer
I am sure to lose
And I will suffer
Sell my soul to make a profit
All I have to do
Is make believe it's true
That something I can't do
That something I can't do

[Chorus]

So when the waiting's done
It's time to face the truth
You know you're good enough
Deep down inside of you

You've finally woken up
If only just to prove
You were born to lead the way
And be the first of you

Good Enough Lyrics - hoobastank

I only wanted you to feel,
How I thought you deserved to feel.
The way you always said you wanted to.

You wanted all we have to be real,
And every word we say to be true.
Still after all I gave it's not enough for you.

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

I only wanted you to see,
That you can be who you wanted to be.
And fill the lonely void inside of you.

I gave you everything that you need,
Did what you always wanted to do.
Still after all I've done I can't get through.

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

Good enough!

I've wasted my time!
Go find someone else!

Good enough!

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

Enough, enough, enough!

If I Were You lyrics - hoobastank

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless its to complain
Its driving me insane

If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that i have
If i were you

Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the ones I love that i do
If i were you

So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the ones I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I've wanted to
If i were you

Without A Fight lyrics - hoobastank

WHOOHOOW

WAKE UP, our life is calling! We're smoking, but not on fire!
Give us a sign that we're alive!

STEP OUT of indecision! How we've been hypnotized!
To think that everything's all right!

The clock is counting down... The clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away... The seconds tick away!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

LET'S GO, the curtain's open! Get this show on the road!
I want to feel my heart explode!

NO MORE pro-crastination! Tracking my feet below! ?
Now I want everyone to know!

The clock is counting down... The clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away... The seconds tick away!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

YEAH! COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

We must pick up the pace! No time to play it safe!
Before you know it's much too late!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

FIGHT! [16x]

WHOOOOOOOOOOO-hoow... hahaha

Don't Tell Me lyrics - hoobastank

Don't tell me that you are ready to change.
Don't tell me that from now it won't be the same.
It doesn't matter, 'cause at the end of the day,
It isn't what you say, it's what you do!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

Don't tell me you'll make things better for us.
Don't tell me that you're some one I can trust.
It doesn't mean a thing to me just because,
It isn't what you say, it's what you do!

Your actions will speak louder than you!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

So show me that you really figured it out.
And show me everything that you are about.
But if you can't then you should just shut your mouth!..

'cause I don't care what you say or what you do,
You can't take back what you've put me through.
Your actions will speak louder than you!..

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

Forever...

Look Where We Are lyrics - hoobastank

I still remember the time,
When this all felt like a dream.
So completely out of reach,
Frustrating.

We kept our nose to the grind,
Make the days turn into weeks.
Hoping time will heal the pain,
Of waiting.

Now it seems so long ago.

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

I used to wonder if I,
Would ever have the chance to be,
Something more than what you see.
I doubt it.

We learned to open our eyes,
Now I both think we'd agree, ?
That we're better off than when we started.

There's still so much left to go ?

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

And the best is yet to come.
'cause our story isn't done.
No! No! No! No! No!

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

Look where we are now.
No! No! No! No! No!
Look where we are now.

Look where we are now.
No! No! No! No! No!

Say The Same lyrics - hoobastank

We've walked together down this winding road,
In search of something true. Together we grew.

But now our journey has come to an end,
And it's on to something new. For me and you.

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
The same.

So many memories, we got to make,
The challenges we met. (?) I'll never forget.

'cause those lessons made us who we are today,
Now we're taking the next step. Without a regret.
No regret.

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
I hope you can say,
The same.

All I'm telling you (All I'm telling you)
'til I get to the end. (?) I would do it again! Do it again!

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
I hope you can say,

That you understand,
The only life we have,
Is here and now,
Not up in the clouds.
With every breath we can say,
It is a brand new day.
I know I can say,
I know I can say!
I know I can say,
The same!

If Only lyrics - hoobastank

I thought it wasn't wrong,
To hide from you,
Simple truth.

I was scared,
I felt it all along,
But it hurt to much for me, to share.

If only I, had been less blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
IF only I, could change your mind,
If only I had known, If only I had you...

Finally understand,
Why things have happened,
And how it all could go so wrong.

Will this pain ever end?
'cause I don't think I can carry on.

If only I, had been less blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
If only I, could change your mind,
If only I had known, If only I had you...

If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..

If only I, had been less blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
If only I, could have spoke my mind,
If only it were true, We could start brand-new
I know I'll make it through
If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..

More Than A Memory lyrics - hoobastank

I've become tired
Of Wasting my time
Thinkin' about choices
That I've made
Cause I can't move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can do now is change the way
That I use to be
Cause now it's seems
Crystal clear to me

you're so much more
Than a memory
Yes, you're so much more
Than a memory

It wasn't fair
For me just to go
Act like I knew what you've been though
Cause I wasn't there
And I'll never know
Couldn't see from
Your point of view
But I'm doing all I can
For you to see
That I understand
That I understand

You're so much more
Than a memory
Yes, you're so much more
Than a memory
So don't close the door
On what still can be
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory

Please don't Go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
I know that I was wrong
I was wrong

You're so much more
Than a memory
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory
So don't close the door
On what still can be
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory

Please don't go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
And I was wrong

Please don't go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
And I knew I was wrong
And I was wrong

Finally Awake lyrics - hoobastank

I’ve been going through the motions
Watching things pass me by
Sleep-walking through my life
But you came along and shook my world up
No longer scared to try, my eyes are open wide

And I never felt like this before,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake
‘Cause you’re just what I’ve been waiting for,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake

‘Cause it used to feel like I was dreaming,
So hard for me to see what’s real and make believe
But everything is now in focus,
I’ve finally broken through, I owe it all to you

And I never felt like this before,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake
‘Cause you’re just what I’ve been waiting for,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake

I’ve missed enough, I’ve got some catching up to do
And if it’s not too much, I’d like to do it all with you
I’ve missed enough, I’ve got some catching up to do
And if it’s not too much, I’d like to do it all with you

And I never felt like this before,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake
‘Cause you’re just what I’ve been waiting for,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake

I’ve missed enough, I’ve got some catching up to do
(I’m finally awake)
And if it’s not too much, I’d like to do it all with you

Face The Music lyrics - hoobastank

Through all we’ve watched you always take the path of least resistance.
We’ve seen you searching for a way that you can cheat the system.
You had us fooled but now the truth has finally been uncovered.
We’ll never look at you the same because we’ve all discovered…

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Your game is over now,
the ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
you’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘cause it’s time for you to face the music

We watched you swear that everything we’ve heard is fabricated.
You said the stories were all false or just exaggerated.
But it turns out that you’re the one who’s making up the stories,
keeping us in the dark while you bask in your own fame and glory.

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Your game is over now,
the ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
you’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘cause it’s time for you to face the music

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.
Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Well, we’ve got news for you.

Your game is over now,
the ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
you’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘cause your true colors have come through,
now there’s nothing you can do.
It’s time for you to face the music.

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.
Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

"The Reason" (2003)

Same Direction lyrics - hoobastank

Whenever i step outside, somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.
'cause everyone thinks they're right,
And nobody thinks that there just might
Be more than one road to our final destination

But i'm not ever going to know if i'm right or wrong
'cause we're all going in the same direction
And i'm not sure which way to go because all along
We've been going in the same direction

I'm tired of playing games, of looking for someone else to blame
For all the holes in answers that are clearly showing
For something to fill the space, was all of the time i spent a waste
'cause so many choices point the same way i was going.....

So why does there only have to be one correct philosophy?
I don't want to go and follow you just to end up like one of them
And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that i can go my own way and meet you in the end.

But i'm not ever going to know..........

Out Of Control lyrics - hoobastank

I've done everything as you say
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all along I thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All of the things you've said to me

I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control...

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All the things you've said to me

And I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

What Happened To Us? lyrics - hoobastank

[Verse 1:]
I thought it was too good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
Someone who would help me to get through
And fill an emptiness i had inside me
But you kept inside and I just denied
Some things that we should have both said
I knew it was too good to be true
Cause i'm the only one who understands me

[Chorus:]
What happened to us
We used to be so perfect, now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us
And deep inside I wonder, did i lose my only?

[Verse 2:]
Remember they thought we were too young
To really know what it takes to make it
But we had survived off what we have done
So we could show them all that they're mistaken
But who could have known the lies that would grow
Until we could see right through them
Remember they knew we were too young
We still don't know what it takes to make it

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
We could have made it work, we could have found a way,
We should have done our best to see another day
But we kept it all inside until it was too late
And now we're both alone, the consequence we pay
For throwing it all away, for throwing it all away...

[Chorus]

Escape lyrics - hoobastank

Another day goes without any change
The feeling we live with still remains
We're stuck in a hole and we're searching for anything to hold onto
There has to be somewhere that we can be safe from the lives we live each day
There has to be somewhere that we can be far away...

We have to escape and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together, together everyday
We have to escape....

We could be living how we wanted to
Instead of doing things we're forced to do
With no one to tell us that we should be going throughwhat they went through
There has to be some place that nobody knows, somewhere we can only go
There has to be some place that we can be all alone....

We have to escape...

Just One lyrics - hoobastank

I wanna live
I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breathe
I wanna go
I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show
Gotta stay
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know
If they got away
My opportunities

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

I need to think
I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place
I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give
Gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I'm awake
I'm gonna push
Gonna pull
Open up the door

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

And if I knew
When the door was open
I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say
What I do never be the same
Never be the same

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Lucky lyrics - hoobastank

I knew how it felt to be another one in need of someone to show the way
Until you saw a part of me that nobody else
Could see and my life hasn't been the same...

[Chorus:]
You make me feel lucky as I can be... [x2]

Before I couldn't get a break,
Never had a chance to make
The impressions I want to
But now it falls right into place
When I get to see your face
Then there's nothing that I can't do...

[Chorus]

No more dark days, only sun rays
No more hard ways with you today

You make me feel....

[Chorus]

From The Heart lyrics - hoobastank

There was a time when our dreams felt so real
Just out of reach but not too far to feel
Together we'd finally make them come true
'Cause anythings possible when i was with you
But they kept on saying we'd never amount to anything....

All of the dreams we built up from the ground
They never believed them they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start, we will rebuild them from the heart

'Cause once all we wanted seemed so far away
But with everystep it was closer each day
The more that we tried it was within our grasp
The more that they told us that it wouldn't last
And everyone said we were crazy for giving up everything....

The Reason lyrics - hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You [x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Let It Out lyrics - hoobastank

This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
(if you don't like it)

Go ahead, you know just what you want to do
Don't deny, you feel cause I feel it to
Take a look all around, you'll feel it in the air
From the sky to the ground, I feel it everywhere

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)

This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
To let it out
To let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
(if you don't like it)
(if you don't like it)

Unaffected lyrics - hoobastank

[1st verse:]

There never seems to be
Because what i believe
A moment i'm not trying
To show them who i am
Why can't they understand
The things that they're denying?

They're denying.....

[chorus:]

So what should i do
Just lay next to you
As though i'm unaffected
And who should i be
When they're judging me
As though i'm unaffected?

[2nd verse:]

A chance they'd never give
To ever want to live
The life that i am made of
There's nothing left to prove
My heart's forever true
What is it they're afraid of?

Afraid of.....

[chorus:]

So what should i do
Just lay next to you
As though i'm unaffected
And who should i be
When they're judging me
As though i'm unaffected?

Before they even saw my face
The knew that i was not the same
And decided i was not the one for you
For you.....

So what should i do?
I'm not unaffected
And who should i be?
I'm not unaffected

[chorus:]

So what should i do
Just lay next to you
As though i'm unaffected
And who should i be
When they're judging me
As though i'm unaffected?

Unaffected...[repeat 4 times]

Never There lyrics - hoobastank

[1st verse:]
I'm filling up inside
Like i need to open wide
And pour my heart out to you
But i'll just get denied
And all i wanted was someone to hear what i'm going through

[chorus:]
Everytime that i need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where i need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)

[2nd verse:]
You were supposed to see
All the signs i left to read in front of your face
You were supposed to be
The closest thing to being me
But you're the furthest away
That's because.....

[chorus:]
Everytime that i need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where i need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)

You're never there

And i doubt
That i will ever find out
If there's a way to get out
Of feeling all alone
Cause latley
I've been thinking
Maybe
That no one's going to save me
I'll do it on my own.....

On my own

[chorus:]
Everytime that i need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where i need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)

Disappear lyrics - hoobastank

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Can you make them disappear?
Make them disappear

There's a pain that sleeps inside
Sleeps with just one eye
And awakens, the moment that you leave
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Crawling In The Dark lyrics - hoobastank

I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Remember Me lyrics - hoobastank

I stand here face to face
With someone that I used to know
He used to look at me and laugh
But now he claims
That he's known me for so very long
But I remember being no one
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
And you're not allowed to be a part of me
Did you know me?
Or were you too preoccupied
With playing king in your small kingdom
And now the real world
Has stripped you of your royalty
And from your kingdom you're evicted
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me

Running Away lyrics - hoobastank

I don't want you to give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
To tell me that everything's alright
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Cause I did enough to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close, you turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
Is it a waste of time?
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
...What is it I've got to say...
So why are you running away?
...To make you admit you're afraid...
Why are you running away?

Pieces lyrics - hoobastank

Turn around and pick up the pieces
I, like a rock, sink
Sinking til I hit the bottom
The water is much deeper than I thought
Nothing to swim with
Kicking but I keep sinking
A lesson that no one could have ever taught
Cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
I see the picture
Blurry but now it's in focus
A fairy tale I purchased on my own
I finally woke up
Everything is better
A chance for me to open up and grow
I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
Suffocating sinking further almost everyday
Barely treading water knowing I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
Turn around and pick up the pieces

Let You Know lyrics - hoobastank

I just thought that I'd let you know
That although I'm far
I'm close to you within
And all the time spent by your side
Is taken deep in me
Held for me to keep
To look upon when I'm feeling like
Everything and one
Is hurting me for something or other
It takes me to a better place
Nowhere I'd rather go
Thought I'd let you know
Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
Who you are
And what you do
I'm burning to be in you
I just thought that I'd let you know
Being near you is
A gift I only wish I could treasure
But for now I'll sit and wait
I'm still burning though
Thought I'd let you know
Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
Who you are
What you do
I'm burning to be in you
Thought I'd let you know
Feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know
It feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know
Who you are
And what you do
Makes me burn to be in you
Who you are
And what you do
I'm burning to be in you

Better lyrics - hoobastank

Just when I thought that I was better
I realized that I don't know what better was
Is it.........
Better than I used to be?
Better for you or for me?
I'd better hurry cause I need a better view of things
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
And I'm not getting any better
Cause everytime I can't remember what it's for
Is it.........
Better now than yesterday?
Better that I am this way?
I'd better not be so afraid
I bet I shouldn't say
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
Me be you
