I've been up all these nights counting this city lights, listening to Jimmy Eat World, planning my escape from this place. So I started to write these songs about how many times I've painted you in my mind. I'm playing with matches but never found the guts to tell you how I cared. I will hold on, keeping all those good memories close to me and when it will be said and done, I'll leave like summer leaves in leaves I will hold on, keeping all those good memories close to me I'll forever rewind my vhs, like when I was young. Do you remember the night we feel in love listening hand in hand to "the rock show?" and every time I passed through your house crouching you from your window hoping to crawl in your bed with you. I know that now you're living your own life. I know I have to live mine. I will hold on, keeping all those good memories close to me and when it will be said and done, I'll leave like summer leaves in leaves I will hold on, keeping all those good memories close to me I'll forever rewind my vhs, like when I was young. And I still write all these fucking songs about how I picture you in my mind even if you're far away I will hold on and start to live my life. But jesus christ! I'm only 23 years old yes, jesus christ! I am a walking mess. I will hold on, keeping all those good memories close to you You'll forever rewind your vhs, like when you were young.

It's time, to set things right even if I have to fight with myself I terribly miss the old me, the one I'm pretending to be. I'm walking on this floorboard full of shard of glass (7 years of bad luck) but I'm still tryin' to be alive, still tryin' to survive. I am what I choose to be regrets, mistakes will never break me I wear my heart on a sleeve even if it's hard for me to handle. I am what I choose to be regrets, mistakes will never break me I wear my heart on a sleeve even if it's hard for me to handle. 7 years of bad luck in those nightmares that I'm still stuck pretending to feel different but my mind is still fucked up. Sorry to say that you're that blind, you could have read between the lines, sorry to say that I'm not that type, not that guy who runs and hide. I am what I choose to be regrets, mistakes will never break me I wear my heart on a sleeve even if it's hard for me to handle. I am what I choose to be regrets, mistakes will never break me I wear my heart on a sleeve even if it's hard for me to handle. I terribily miss the old me the one that I pretend to be even if I'm growing older I'll never leave the boy who is inside of me. I terribily miss the old me the one that I pretend to be even if I'm growing older I'll never leave the boy who is inside of me. I'm trying to be alive, I'm tryin to survive I.M.N.S.A , my usually state of mind. I am what I choose to be regrets, mistakes will never break me I wear my heart on a sleeve even if it's hard for me to handle. I am what I choose to be regrets, mistakes will never break me I wear my heart on a sleeve even if it's hard for me to handle.

Up here this place doesn't look so sad and since you've left the grass has stopped it's growing. It’s been so long since everything seemed to fit I always pictured myself as being someone you’d miss. I miss the smell of the rain when I passed next your house but I'm not getting over it, getting used to it. Even if the time passes the wind still blows your name I am sorry, but I won't wait for you anymore. So meet me in derry and believe me that you won't find floating balloons there I know that you miss me everytime that you say my name. You said you've thoughts to carry, but you took time to knew me and a minute to forget me. Your hair is winter fire January embers my heart burns there, too. I feel the weakness and when I lie at my best, I lie to myself like when I was young. but I'm not getting over it, getting used to it even if the time passes the wind still blows your name. So meet me in derry and believe me that you won't find floating balloons there I know that you miss me everytime that you say my name. You said you've thoughts to carry, but you took time to knew me and a minute to forget me. Your hair is winter fire January embers My heart burns there, too. meet me in derry I won't wait for you. Missing you feels like an endless winter.

Latelly I've been mentally occupied, and my wallet is stuffed full of pictures, letters, keepsakes and memories. So this is the first time and the last time I'll let myself fuck up the person I want to be. In my closet I've got skeletons that I hide I hope I haven't left one outside so please believe me when I tell you that my life sucks more than you could ever bet. But I'm not sorry anymore for my mistakes because I've grown up and now I'm here to say: I'm not growing older I'm just getting stronger even if I have to carry the weight of the world on my wobbly knees I am holding on and if the weight is too heavy I am moving on, away from this. I'll take the longest way to run away from home and I know that I'm not sorry anymore. So mirror mirror on the wall, tell me what I've been searching for, cos I've been lost a part of myself thousand miles away from me. How many times I've thought about this: "I terribily miss the old me" I'll follow the only light that will never goes out just to find myself. In my closet I've got skeletons that I hide I hope I haven't left one outside so please believe me when I tell you that my life sucks more than you could ever ever bet But I'm not sorry anymore for my mistakes because I've grown up and now I'm here to say: I'm not growing older I'm just getting stronger even if I have to carry the weight of the world on my wobbly knees I am holding on and if the weight is too heavy I am moving on, away from this. So this is the first time and the last time I'll let myself fuck up the person I want to be. I'm not growing older I'm just getting stronger even if I have to carry the weight of the world on my wobbly knees I am holding on and if the weight is too heavy I am moving on, away from this.

As an another day pass by I'll spend my nights alone wasting time in my bed, listening to the same old sad songs. But for an another day and another year, I'll live my life away from fears, I know that i have to tie up loose ends. I feel like I should be concerned, to all those things that i've burned all I ever wanted was someone to tell me I'm wrong. I'm just a kid who's stuck in the middle, of being a man or remain the boy he used to be. This place has never been my home, but I need to carry on I will rise up with my two feet. Here we go again trying to fake a decent smile to deal with these days that are all the same, high hopes and good days It helps to think I'm not alone. And I'm fighting with all my strenght, just to feel okay, high hopes and good days It helps to think I'm not alone. And for all these things I've ever done, I'm not sorry anymore. I terribly miss the old me.
