"Rapid Hope Loss"--Dashboard Confessional

You called to say you wanted out.

Well, I can't say I blame you now.

Sometimes you've got to fall

before you're found out.

Well thanks for waiting this long to show yourself.

Cause now that I can see you,

I don't think you're worth a second glance.

So much for all the promises you made, they served you well

and now you're gone and they're wasted on me.

So much for your endearing sense of charm, it served you well

and now it's gone and you're wasted on me.

You called to say you wanted out.

Well, I can't say I blame you now.

Sometimes you've got to fall

before you're found out.

Well thanks, thanks for waiting this long to show yourself, show yourself.

Cause now that I can see you,

I don't think you're worth a second glance.

So much for all the promises you made, they served you well

and now you're gone and they're wasted on me.

So much for your endearing sense of charm, it served you well

and now it's gone and you're wasted on me.

I guess that all you've got is all you're gonna get,

so much for, so much more

I guess that all you've got is all you're gonna get,

so much for, so much more

Do what you must if that's what you wish,

I can't be a pardon to this

you have a sense that you were born with

You'll find a way to make things right.

I guess that all you've got is all you're gonna get.

so much for, so much more

I guess that all you've got is all you're gonna get.

so much for, so much more

I guess that all you've got is all you're gonna get.

so much for, so much more


"All Hail the Heartbreaker"--the Spill Canvas

I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways

My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days

I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes

To a whole new world that had since been in disguise

But that day will most likely never come for me

And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck

to everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures

And overanalyze your words

But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard

It's taking everything in me

just to forget your sweater so far

I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world

But your undecisive mind shows me that

you are "just another girl"

I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real

What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams

maybe then you'd know how I feel

But that day will most likely never come for me

And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck

to everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures

And overanalyze your words

But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard

It's taking everything in me

just to forget your sweater so far

I can honestly say

that I never, ever, ever felt this way

Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin

These are the parts of your body

that cause my comatose to begin

I can honestly say

that I never, ever, ever felt this way

Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin

These are the parts of your body

that cause my comatose to begin

I will sleep another day

I don't really need to anyway

What's the point when my dreams are infected

with words you used to say

I will breathe in a moment

As long as I keep my distance

I wouldn't want to go messing anything up

So don't go worrying about me

It's not like I think about you constantly

So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect

your life anymore

I knew it the moment you walked into the door

So don't go worrying about me

It's not like I think about you constantly

So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect

your life anymore

I knew it the moment you walked into the door

I'll let you get the best of me

Because there's nothing else that I do well

I'll let you get the best of me

Because there's nothing else that I do well

I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker

I guess that's how this one's gonna go I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker

You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim

"All hail the heartbreaker"


"Halfway to Somewhere"--Brandon Henderson

Well, hello there! Bet you’d never thought you’d see me here

When I myself could not have guessed

Well I still have all of my reasons

Though they’re unclear

Isn’t that the way when you’re depressed

I wonder which lie will sound the best

Hell, if my mind accepts the things my heart refuses

I’ll be no better than the rest

So if you pass me by

I may not know the answers to the when’s, the why’s, or how’s

But I’m secure in my reply

I know I must be halfway to somewhere by now

Well, I’m thinkin’ ‘bout life and where it leads

I wonder, am I putting mine to shame

Well maybe everyone just has to move at different speeds

So no one else’s story sounds the same

Hell, why should I have to feel indebted to anyone

I see my reasons getting clearer

Hell, I know that there’s some faith that’s still embedded

In that person that I see in the mirror

So if you pass me by

I may not know the answers to the when’s, the why’s, or how’s

But I’m secure in my reply

I know I must be halfway to somewhere by now

I’m not giving in

To the things I’ve never been

So don’t save a seat for me at the pity party
