Singer: Hoobastank

I stand here face to face
With someone that I used to know ,
He used to look at me and laugh.
But now he claims
That he's known me for so very long,
But I remember being no one.
[...]
Did you know me?
Or were you too preoccupied
With playing king in your small kingdom?
And now the real world
Has stripped you of your royalty
And from your kingdom you're evicted.
I'm standing face to face
With someone you used to know,
Who looked at me with a smile.
But now he claims
He knows me for a long time,
But I remember what was for him a nobody.
[...]
Did you know me?
Or was too busy
Games in king in your small Kingdom?
And now the real world
Stripped you of your royalty,
And you are banished from his Kingdom.

I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me?
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me.
And I wanted to be like you -
Perfect, unattainable.
Now you want me to be with you
Do you recall now,
I acted like I was nothing?
Forget it! It's all over now,
And I don't want you to be part of me.

No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me.
No photos or letters
Nothing will never replace.
Reminders (Yes anything!) -
Nothing will never replace.
You revealed revealed the real me.

In a darkened room
Right beside the bed
There an empty suitcase waits 'til I leave again.
I try to fill it up
With things that feel like home
But no matter what goes in, I still feel alone
When I'm on my own.
In a darkened room
Right next to the bed -
There an empty suitcase waits, when I will go again.
I'm trying to fill it
Things reminiscent of home,
But even with them I'll be lonely
When I'm by myself.

(Go) Where should I go?
(Do) What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me
"Go" - where should I go?
"Do" - what should I do?
I don't know what you want from me.
Since I don't know
Can you believe it,
I don't understand what do you want from me.

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all along I thought you would be there
To let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was
I feel like getting pissed off;
Trying to focus but everything is blurry,
And I thought you'd be here,
To let me know that I am not alone, -
But in fact that's exactly what I was.

I've done everything as you say
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded
I'm spinning out of control
I did everything as you said
I followed your rules without question,
I thought it would help to clarify the situation.
But instead help me to see...
I turned around and like it was blind!
I'm freaking out!

This is where I know I'm safe
The road is my escape
A hiding place from you under the sky
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
The moonlight blankets me
The stars will be my company tonight
No dеstinаtiоn!
I have found the calm
Inside the storm.
Here I know that I'm safe,
The road is my salvation,
Hidden from you place under heaven.
Nowhere else I would rather be.
Moonlight bathes me,
The stars will be my company today.
There is no purpose!
I found peace
In the midst of the storm.

The further I run
The more than I've become
Weightless and numb to the hurting
Worries and fears hold no gravity here
It's the only place
It all makes sense to me
The farther I run,
So I become more
Weightless and insensitive to pain,
Worries and fears does not matter here.
This is the only place
Where everything makes sense.

I run away
Through the dark and empty space
Where the wind will erase your memory
Here in the black there is no turning back
It's the only place where I can get away.
I'm running
Through the dark empty space,
Where the wind will erase my memories.
Here in the darkness there's no turning back
This is the only place where you can go.

How'd I fall so far, now no one can find me
There's nothing behind me, to take me back to start
Can someone remind me, of who that I used to be?
I can't seem to wake up from this dream
I can't catch my breath enough to scream
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause your wishes may not be what they seem
I feel dirty, now I have no one to find.
And there is nothing nearby that would bring me back to the beginning.
Somebody remind me, what was I?
It seems that I don't awake from this dream
I don't have enough air to scream.
Careful what you wish for,
After all, they may not be what they seem.

Everything I know will change, I'll never be the same
So I'm told as a voice repeats "Again, again and again"
What if it doesn't feel like everyone said it should?
What have I become?
Realise in a moment my ambition is a curse
'Cause it hides all the best in me but shows the worst
Things will change and I'll never be the same.
I hear a voice, repeating: "again, again and again."
What if it's not there as described?
What have I become?
How low have I sunk that I cannot find?
At one point I realize that ambition is my curse,
They hide the best in me, revealing only the worst.

Years from now
Memories
Will fill our minds with images
Of how good it used to be
So why don't we
Seize this day
Capture all the moments
Before time takes them away
Years later,
Memories
Fill our minds with pictures
As was well before.
So why
Not the day
Catching moments
Before time takes them away?

So look around
And take it in
Enjoy this moment while you can
'Cause we may never be, never be here again
Every sound
Every sight
Remember how this feels tonight
'Cause we may never be, never be here again
Look around
And catch all
Enjoy the moment while you can.
In fact, we may never find ourselves here again.
Every sound
Every glance -
Remember this feeling,
Because we may never be here again.
