Verse For the longest time, I thought that sadness would always fill my mind, But now I know, it’s just like a cloudy sky, Good things will come, and make the sun shine, Just be patient sad one, ‘cause you will get your time Chorus And I don’t know why but people will, oh, people will always lie, And I wish that I could just grab the truth right out of their eyes, And I’ll spend all my days and all my nights trying to figure out why, We’re always trying to figure out why Verse I don’t know what to do this time, ‘cause I’m falling for your eyes, But I know I’m only, setting up my own demise, But everytime I see you, you train my heart to need you, The sun forever shines, no longer a cloud in my sky Chorus And I don’t know why but people will, oh, people will always lie, And I wish that I could just grab the truth right out of their eyes, And I’ll spend all my days and all my nights trying to figure out why, We’re always trying to figure out why Bridge We’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out in time, We’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out in time, ‘Cause We’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out this time, We’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out, oh, we’ll figure it out this time Chorus And I don’t know why but people will, oh, people will always lie, And I wish that I could just grab the truth right out of their eyes, And I’ll spend all my days and all my nights trying to figure out why, We’re always trying to figure out why

Mason 03:44
Verse Mason won’t you find me a new home, ‘Cause I’m lost and I need somewhere to go, Just a place to lay my head at night, Even just under the sky Pre-Chorus Mason, Mason, please don’t leave my side Mason, Mason, please don’t leave my side Chorus It’s like I’m trapped in this body and I’m frozen solid I’m trapped in this body and I’m frozen, Solid Verse Mason I can’t remember your face, All because I’m in this dark and lonely place, Scared to sleep, scared to dream, scared of you coming to visit me, The doors are locked but I’m too weak Pre-Chorus Mason, Mason, please don’t leave my side Mason, Mason, please don’t leave my side Chorus It’s like I’m trapped in this body and I’m frozen solid I’m trapped in this body and I’m frozen, solid, I’m trapped in this body and I’m frozen solid, I’m trapped in this body and I’m frozen, Solid

Erase 02:37
Verse Sitting at the table doin’ shots ‘cause I can’t face all of these memories I just want to erase, Everytime I close my eyes I see your pretty face and I just want to know why you had to change, The challenge that I face is that I want to move away but I can’t bring myself to make that break, My head is getting worse because I can’t juggle the pain, you know, I can’t juggle the pain that you’re away Chorus How did we get so dark? How did we fall apart? X2 Verse Now my lungs are burning ‘cause I’ve smoked too many cigarettes in a failed attempt to forget, Everytime I close my eyes I see your cheeky smile and I just wanna know why you had to lie, I am incapable of being unbreakable because I can’t fix my problems, My head is getting worse because I can’t juggle the pain, you know, I can’t juggle the pain that you’re away Chorus How did we get so dark? How did we fall apart? X2

11:37 05:13
Verse I’ve been watching the paint dry, on these four walls, and I can’t stop thinking, maybe we weren’t good at all, And all these memories I have of us, are ripped up on the floor, we were so sweet and delicate, now we just scream inside these walls, And there’s nothing left to say, ‘cause you just act a different way Chorus You used to be my sunshine on every cloudy day, And I wanted the rain to stop but it kept pouring away, You were the reason that I would get up out of bed, Now I’ll just lie here ‘till I’m dead Verse You and me, you said we were anomalies, so crazy perfect in every way, But it’s 11:37 and I just haven’t slept yet ‘cause I forgot to eat again, And my mind is going crazy, ‘cause you’re so far away from me, This distance oh it’s killing me, this distance oh it’s killing me Chorus You used to be my sunshine on every cloudy day, And I wanted the rain to stop but it kept pouring away, You were the reason that I would get up out of bed, Now I’ll just lie here ‘till I’m dead Bridge How do you sleep at night, knowing you’re the reason for this storm? X2 How do you sleep at night knowing you’re the reason, knowing you’re the reason? X2 Chorus You used to be my sunshine on every cloudy day, And I wanted the rain to stop but it kept pouring away, You were the reason that I would get up out of bed, Now I’ll just lie here ‘till I’m dead Outrow I’ll just lay here ‘till I’m dead, Can I just lie here ‘till I’m dead? I’ll just lie here ‘till I’m dead

Landslide 03:21
Verse I’m trapped in a landslide of emotions for you, Can’t get out from underneath the weight of the truth, You take my patience and through it straight through the roof, But I’m trapped in a landslide of emotions for you, And I can’t break through Chorus Sick of standing on shaky ground with you, Don’t wanna break up but I can’t find the truth, So sick of fighting to keep the real you, You know it’s true, I’m stuck with you Verse I’m trapped on the outside of a bi-standers view, Can’t see the darkness when I’m beaming at you, At home it’s like the universe is brand new, And I’m trapped on the outside of a bi-standers view, And I can’t break through Chorus Sick of standing on shaky ground with you, Don’t wanna break up but I can’t find the truth, So sick of fighting to keep the real you, You know it’s true, I’m stuck with you Bridge And I could break free, I could run for the trees, But when I look back you’re staring at me, It’s hard to let go when you’ve had so much to hold, And I can’t say no to those eyes you know, But I’m Chorus Sick of standing on shaky ground with you, Don’t wanna break up but I can’t find the truth, So sick of fighting to keep the real you, You know it’s true, Final Chorus I’m sick of standing on shaky ground with you, Don’t wanna break up but I can’t find the truth, So sick of fighting to keep the real you, You know it’s true, You know it’s true, I’m stuck with you
