3 Doors Down

Live For Today

Show me the road and i will find my own
You build your bridges and i'll burn em down
So far away and all alone i roam
I'll take my chances in the here and now

And all you wonder is who's for sale, well you wont know now and i wont tell
Your always hiding throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

[chorus]
And god only knows all the places ive been
But i love this life that i'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so i'll live for today

Another day and yet anothers done spending a life living with in the past
I'll take the chance before the chance has gone
You never know when it'll be your last

But still you wonder who's for sale, well you wont know now and i wont tell
Your always hiding throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

[chorus]
And god only knows all the places ive been
But i love this life that i'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so i'll live for today

We'll know when we run out of time until it's all over with
And there'll be no where to run
We'll never say it but we're over out heads and we're drowning inside with all the things we've said

[chorus]
And god only knows all the places ive been
But i love this life that i'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so i'll live for today

God only knows all the places ive been
But i love this life that i'm living in
I wont look back to regret yesterday
Were not handed tomorrow so i'll live for today

Living A Lie

Say goodbye to all my troubles
Say goodbye to this
I'm saying goodbye to all the desperation I've lived in
It doeest hurt to talk about it
It sometimes helps me through
Now there's nothing left to talk about
I'll tell you....

Now it's time to say goodbye
I've been living this lie for way to long
I can't handle this lie got to say goodbye
I've been living this lie for way to long

Blame it on this way of thinking
Blame it on someone
There's no answers only questions that have come undone
It doesn't help to think about it
It only makes me feel used
Now there's nothing left to think about
Nothing's true....

Now it's time to say goodbye
I've been living this lie for way to long
I can't handle this lie got to say goodbye
I've been living this lie for way to long

I wish that we could do this all again
I wish that I could stay but I can't
And now it's time to leave this all behind
Of all the things to say we said goodbye

Now it's time to say goodbye
And now it's time to say goodbye
Now it's time to say goodbye
I've been living this lie for way to long

I can't handle this life
I can't handle this life
I can't handle this life
I'm dead

Loser

Breathe in right away.
Nothing seems to fill this place.
I need this everytime
So take your lies, get off my case.
Someday I will find
A love that flows through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away.

You're getting closer
To pushing me off of life's little edge
'Cause I'm a loser
And sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer
You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
'Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah.

This is getting old.
I can't break these chains that I hold
My body's growing cold
There's nothing left of this mind or my soul.
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of this poison is taking me higher.
This will fall away, this will fall away.

You're getting closer
To pushing me off of life's little edge.
'Cause I'm a loser
And sooner or later you know I'll be dead.
You're getting closer
You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
'Cause I'm a loser
I'm a loser!

You're getting closer
To pushing me off of life's little edge.
'Cause I'm a loser
And sooner or later you know I'll be dead.
You're getting closer
You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall.
'Cause I'm a loser

You're getting closer
To pushing me off of life's little edge
'Cause I'm a loser
And sooner or later you know I'll be dead.
You're getting closer
You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall.
'Cause I'm a loser.

Man In My Mind

Cloud in my mind,
Trouble my thoughts.
Your silence is beauty,
But your beauty is lost.
There's a sandy man hidden.
You seven times think
That you're very tired and ridden,
But you never once blink.

There's a man in my mind,
Kickin' in the walls.
Trailin' my innocence,
Paralyzing all my thoughts.

Got a wide eyed view
From a chemical thrill,
Set in the pace of time
And prowlin' the killin' field.
Tracer from far away
To this life in my empty cell.
It seems life is just a lie
But there's still the lie to tell.

There's a man in my mind.
Kickin' in the walls.
Trailin' my innocence,
Paralyzing all my thoughts.

There's a man in my mind.
Kickin' in the walls.
Trailin' my innocence,
Paralyzing all my thoughts.

There's man in my mind
There's a man.
The man in mine

My World

You're stuck on a chain
And you're toeing a lie
It seems like every time that you catch up
You only fall behind

[Chorus]
And you're trapped inside this world you made yourself
But that's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
Cause my worlds bigger than your problems and it's bigger than me
That's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
Cause my worlds bigger than your problems and it's bigger than me

There's always someone to blame
For the things you do to yourself..mmm
You think that everything that's going wrong is because of someone else

[Chorus]
And you're trapped inside this world you made yourself
And that's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
Cause my worlds bigger than your problems and it's bigger than me
Its not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
Cause my worlds bigger than your problems and it's bigger than me

And it's bigger than me
Whoooa

Cause I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in

And that's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
Cause my worlds bigger than your problems and it's bigger than me
Its not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
Cause my worlds bigger than your problems and it's bigger than me

Cause my worlds bigger than your problems and it's bigger than me

Never Will I Break

Lay me down
Wash this blood off my hands for me while i cry, cry out
Don't let me die before i go to sleep
And i can't keep going
But i can't start again

The road i walk is paved with broken promises i've made
At least a million i've fallen
But never will i break

These walls i make
They could hold me in and hold me back today
Oh but tomorrow's new and i'll walk right out and walk right over you
If you hear me screaming
Please don't let me fall again

The road i walk is paved with broken promises i've made
At least a million i've fallen
But never will i break

My time is on it's way
I'll fall but i wont break

The road i walk is paved with broken promises i've made
At least a million i've fallen
But never will i break

The road i walk is paved with broken promises i've made
At least a million i've fallen
But never will i break

Not Enough

Seven days underpaid gotta give it up.
Got no time for this life that I'm livin' up.
Shackled down, kicked around, now slave to the grind.
Need some time for myself.

I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time
So I'll get up with you.
If you don't understand
Man, you've gotta believe,
There's too much of you but there is not enough of me.

There's not enough of me.

Same old song world moves on while I'm still in bed.
Meet tomorrow today just to get ahead.
Jump the gun on the run,
I'm the only one.
Who think that I'm fallin' behing?

I'll give you anything that you want me to.
But I don't have the time so I'll get up with you.
If you don't understand
Man, you've got to believe.
There's too much of you.
But there's not enough of me.
There's not enought of me.
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll get up with you.
If you don't understand
Man you've gotta believe
There's too much of you
There's too much of me.

I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll get up with you.
If you don't understand, man, you've got to believe.
There's too much of you
But there's not enough of me.

Pages

What happens to a man when
He spills his heart on a page and
He watches words flow away then
His feelings lie on the page alone
There waiting
For someone who cares to read them
To open their eyes to see them
To see if they can make his thoughts their own
To find out that maybe your life's not perfect
Maybe it's not worth what he gives away

You can see that this broken soul is bleeding
So you can see your feelings inside yourself
And wander through my heart
Letting you see through me
Now only consumes me
Forget your pain, watch me fall apart

What happens to a soul when
It's trapped inside his emotions
And all of these words he's spoken
They bind him to the life he's left behind
And every new step he takes
He knows that he might not make it
To all of these dreams that he has yet to find
Maybe your life's not perfect
But maybe it's not worth what he gives away

You can see that this broken soul is bleeding
So you can see your feelings inside yourself
And wander through my heart
Letting you see through me
Now only consumes me
Forget your pain and watch me fall apart

As I fall apart

You can see that this broken soul is bleeding
So you can see your feelings inside yourself
And wander through my heart
Letting you see through me
Now only consumes me
Forget your pain and watch me fall apart

As I fall apart

Pop Song

Why do you make me feel so ugly inside and out
What is it I say what is in your brain
That makes you so damn sure that

What you want is what I'm trying to be
Nothing's real but what's inside
If I'm so blind then how can I see
I can feel you pulling me under
I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down
I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down

Why should I try when nothing I do makes you proud
All the words you say they don't mean a thing
The silence screams so loud

What you want is what I'm trying to be
Nothing's real but what's inside
If I'm so blind than how can I see
I can feel you pulling me under
I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down
I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down

I'm down
I'm down
I'm down

I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down
I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down

I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down
I can't hold on like this with you bringing me down

I'm down
I'm down

Right Where I Belong

There's a difference than spending time with me
And killing time while im there
Too many ppl and too many things
And it makes me feel like hell
You're half gone as I can see
And all of this she says to me

[Chorus]
There's too many questions
And too many strings
And it wont keep there selves tied
I'm on a rollercoaster ride
It Feels like im lying next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But in spite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
That I'm right where I belong


I know I get a little bit crazy
But I never done you no wrong
Well I get distracted and carried away
And It's been this way too long

But I don't know what you need from me
Cause all I know is what I can see


There's too many questions
And too many strings
And it wont keep there selves tied
I'm on a rollercoaster ride
It Feels like im lying next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But inspite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
That I'm right where I belong

Im right where I belong
Go on, Play it for me Son


[Chorus]
There's too many questions
And too many strings
And it wont keep there selves tied
I'm on a rollercoaster ride
It Feels like im lying next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But inspite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
That I'm right where I belong

Runaway

Do you ever think about running away
'cause I was thinkin' about leavin' today
We'll follow forever where our hearts wanna go
Maybe we'll live somewhere where nobody knows our names
Then things might change for the good

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too long
Too long, oh no

Do you ever think about not comin' back
Hoppin' on a train and we'll burn up the tracks
We'll jump off somewhere that we don't know how to say
Maybe hitch a ride from someone who can tell us the way
To where these things might change for the good

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
Where forever is never too long
Not with you right here by me
Maybe, maybe we'll just see
Where this road will lead for us

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
Forever is never too long

Running Out Of Days

There's too much work and I'm spent
There's too much pressure and I admit
I got no time to move ahead
Have you heard one thing that I've said

And all these little things in life they all create this haze
There's too many things to get done, and I'm running out of days

And I can't last here for so long
I feel this current it's so strong
It gets me further down the line
It gets me closer to the line

And all these little things in life they all create this haze
There's too many things to get done, and I'm running out of days

All these little things in life they all create this haze
There's too many things to get done, and I'm running out of days

Will all these little things in life they all create this haze
And now I'm running out of time I can't see through this haze
My friend tell me why it has to be this way
There's too many things to get done, and I'm running out of days

Sarah Yellin'

She says, I've got something to say
She knows what she says will change everything
She led through to many sleepless nights
She's crying, she's crying, she's crying

Mother that man took my soul away
Father how could you ever treat me this way
Brother don't let him do this again
This time it's over I'm gonna make it end
Now it's over and the old man is dead
Lying on the ground bullet in his head

She stood at the foot of the guilty bed last night
She held what she said for the rest of her life
She did all what see said she is gonna do
She's through, she's through, she's through, yeah

Mother that man took my soul away
Father how could you ever treat me this way
Brother don't let him do this again
This time it's over I'm gonna make it end
Now it's over and the old man is dead
Lying on the ground bullet in his head

There's a bullet in your head
I kept falling down, I kept falling down
I kept crying out, I kept crying out
I keep falling down, I keep falling down
On me, on me, on me, on me

Now it's over, this is what she said
He's lying on the ground bullet in his head

She Don't Want The World

The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up
And never lets it show
She can't take much more of this
But she can't let it go
And that's ok, she don't want the world

All the things she says
While he's just lying there
Without someone to hear her cry
She slips off into a dream
About a place to hide
And that's ok, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away
Now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world

Those words he never spoke
Haunt her life, the memories
Of all the times before
She tried to show him love
While he would only ask for more
But it's ok, she don't want the world

Softly in her sleep
Pictures of the life she's longing
For slowly appear
She's seen them all before
But somehow never quite this clear
She just smiles, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away
Now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world

A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again
This time to face the day
She swears there's time to make it
As she simply walks away
And it's ok, she don't want the world

Smack

Rubber headed motor junky,
Run me down and try to stomp me.
Throw my life away and I'll be worthless just like you.
Somewhere now a baby's crying,
Down the road his mother's dying
Shot a line and blew her mind and now she's turnin' blue.

Don't you throw your life away
Just wait untill another day.
Don't you throw your life away
Cause baby I can feel it.
Don't you ever comprimise it.
Don't you even realise it?
Don't you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it now.

Trip and fall,
I'm sure you all can tell me
What is on the wall
Behind the liquor store where you get smacked up all the time.
Perfect ilttle life you wasted, overdosed and that death you tasted.
Scared you back into yourself, and now you walk the line

Don't you throw your life away
Just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it.
Don't you ever comprimise it
Don't you even realise it
Don't you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it now.

Life away
Life away
Life away

So I Need You

If you could step into my head,
Tell me would you still know me
And if you woke up in my bed,
Tell me then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
Leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head
That I call mine
And I will say

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because you're holding up my world
So I need you.
Your imitaion of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

And if I jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge,
Tell me would you still follow me
And if I made you mad today,
Tell me would you love me tomorrow?
Please. or would you say that you don't care,
And then leave me standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in despair and screamin'

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need you.
Your imitaion of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you.

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own (oh no no no no no yeah yeah)

Oh no I can't let you go my little girl
Because your holding up my world,
So I need you.
Your imitation of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you.

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you, baby yeah
