I can't stand to think about, a heart so big it hurts like hell. Oh my God I gave my best before three whole years to end like this. But do you wanna fall apart? I can't stop if you can't start, do you wanna fall apart?
Well I could, if you can, try to fix what I've undone, 'cause I hate what I've become.

[Chorus]
You know me, oh you think you do, you just don't see the same, I've been waiting all this time to be, something I can't define so let's cause-a-scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet over something, yeah something, I just gotta get myself over me.

I could stand to do without all the people I have left behind, what's the point in goin' 'round when it's straight line baby it's straight line down so let's make a list of who we need, and it's not much if anything, let's make a list of who we need
And we'll throw it away, 'cause we don't need anyone, no we don't need anyone.

[Chorus]
And I hate what I've become

You know the night-life is just not for me, 'cause all you really need are a few good friends, go 'head and go out and be all night long, you know they started something I can't stand to reform the city, count me out! 'Cause all this time is wasted on, everything I've done!

[Chorus]
(repeat)
