Wake me up, wake me up turn me on, pour me out
Pick me up, can't go wrong
Turn me around, make me turn around
Jump right off, jump right off the
Wall that you left behind to
Keep me out, push me away, smiling as you're leaving
Saying that we're gonna
Be okay
Be okay
Be okay
Be okay
Lie through your teeth, lie through your teeth
And pretend you love them
Even when they ask if everything's okay
You just show them, just make up your mind
Make up your mind without
Thinking or feeling or talking or waiting
Or asking me if it's me you should be dating
Or holding my heart in your hands before
Crushing and judging and pushing and shoving
The life that we built down my throat
Before I can
Start even
Breathing I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy
With your choices and where you are
A new boyfriend to replace me
After I helped you pay for your car
Just give me the news, tell me how you feel
Don't masquerade, paper dolls
Telling them that everything they know is real
For you there's no difference, just some different inference
Can't you tell
Just a new guy to do everything I did
But not nearly half as well
I feel like I belong with the voices in the gravestone, and
I had no choice, I had no choice but to believe
To believe there was more for you and me
That there was more for us out of
Life is too sentimental
Can't hold it or touch it or even make it too elemental
Feeling like metal, cold to the touch
Like icicles hanging in the air between us
To defeat us, to beat us
To cheapen, weaken, and retreat us
From one another
Set the sail, paranoia sets in
Get the mail, get the post
The closest dose of fear, just be trust
I know you got lost
Wading through the poisonous words and thoughts
From a lost cause
Your own mom got to you
Telling you everything that she wanted you
And you believed her
You never took the time to ask
If after five years that I thought we would ever last
So I guess you have her answer
That she's had to cut me away from you
Like I was cancer
I feel like I belong with the voices in the gravestone, and
I had no choice, I had no choice but to believe
To believe there was more for you and me
That there was more for us out of
I feel like I belong with the voices in the gravestone, and
I had no choice, I had no choice but to believe
To believe there was more for you and me
That there was more for us out of
It's kind of a travesty
Like something out of a book or even a B-rated movie
To lose me
To throw me away and abuse me
To justify to yourself that you can make a decision
That excludes me
From your illusion
Your delusional conclusion
Misrepresenting truth like politicians
And the constitution
Confusion
Obfuscate my words and intentions
For a union
And who's that
Everything you hope to achieve so soon then
You're jealous, I know
You're lonely, I know
All of your friends are getting married
Having babies
And you've got nothing to show them
Except a dead-end job selling books by the dozens
Dredging your nails from those
So here we are, buddy
I'm not gonna lie
I was pretty destroyed
But I got news for you
You can't put the hole inside the void
It wants what it wants
It takes what it gets
Writing to other men
Won't dissolve your regret
But you don't understand that yet
You don't listen to me anyway
So how can I forget you
If you only knew what I went through
Then you'd be writing this song if I was you
But I knew my place now
I've cleaned myself up
I'm ready to face down my fears and ambitions
Under condition
The wishing fiction in a person missions
Evaporates to somewhere
It always goes somewhere
Maybe somewhere I belong
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I feel like I belong with the voices in the gravestone, and
I had no choice, I had no choice but to believe
To believe there was more for you and me
That there was more for us out of
I feel like I belong with the voices in the gravestone, and
I had no choice, I had no choice but to believe
To believe there was more for you and me
That there was more for us out of
Life
If only I could turn back time
