lyrics

I'm fallin' faster than it looks like, but I'll let you in,
I'll let you fall with me.
And I can't explain just how I get by 'cause I don't know, my dear please show me.
'Cause I've been here before and I don't wanna play this game tonight,
No I don't wanna play this game tonight.

Tell me if you have ever felt like you don't fit in, like you're a freak
'Cause I fit in fine I guess I'm a cool kid, but I find myself smilin' awkwardly at people I just can't relate to
And they don't understand, but I'm selfish just to think that they might change
Some call them friends, but aren't friends supposed to care?

I'm more than a memory, I'm alive, but I'm livin' this lie that you sold me a thousand and one times,
And I won't shut up because you told me I'm shutting up only 'cause I know we're all little dyin' machines.

We'll never grow out of pretending 'cause no one does,
Sometimes it's the only thing we know.
But just for a while could we be honest 'cause I think he's right: I've never heard the truth from you a day in my whole life.
And I don't think it's fair that some people don't know what fairness is,
And you've said "I'll change" before, but I know you never will,

Just take a second and think before you forget how to breathe,
Don't let the things that shake you break you,
Get up and trust your feet stand for what you believe and for what it's worth...

I'm fallin' faster than it looks like, but i'll let you in. I'll let you fall with me.

I'm more than a memory, I'm alive, but I'm livin' this lie that you sold me a thousand and one times,
And I won't shut up because you told me I'm shutting up only 'cause I know we're all little...
I'm more than a memory, I'm alive, but I'm livin' this lie that you sold me a thousand and one times,
And I won't shut up because you told me I'm shutting up only 'cause I know we're all little dyin' machines.
