I’m in the business of misery,
Let’s take it from the top.
She’s got a body like an hourglass that’s ticking like a clock.
It’s a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I can’t lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we had caught on fire,
She’s got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.

[Chorus:]
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But, I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But god does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so…
It just feels so good.

Second chances they don’t ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you’re nothing more, I’m sorry, that’ll never change.
And about forgiveness, we’re both supposed to have exchanged.
I’m sorry honey, but I’m passing up, now look this way.
Well there’s a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it’s easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But, I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But god does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so…
It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving.

Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But, I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But god does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so…
It just feels so good.

Oh no I just keep on falling
(Back to the same old…)
Where’s hope when misery comes crawling?
(Oh my way, Ay…)
With your faith you’ll trigger a landslide
(victory)
Kill off this common sense of mind

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
We don’t need the headlines
We just want…

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

Right now you’re the only reason
(I’m not letting go, oh…)
Time out if everyone’s worth pleasing
(Well ha-ha!)
You’ll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
to kill off their finite state of mind

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
No, we don’t want your headlines
We just want…

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure?
[repeat x2]

Alright, so you think you’re ready?
Ok, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
We were born for this
Alright, so you think you’re ready?
OK, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this

We were born for
We were born for

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?

We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this

I’m sitting in a room
Made up of only big white walls
And in the halls
There are people looking through
The win.. the window
Though they know exactly what we’re here for
Don’t look up just let them think
There’s no place else you’d rather be

You’re always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from
Don’t you know by now
You can’t turn back
Because this road is all you’ll ever have

It’s obvious that you’re dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera’s lying
And oh oh open wide
Cause this is your night so smile
Cause you’ll go out in style
You’ll go out in style

If you let me I could
I’d show you how to build your fences
Set restrictions
Separate from the world
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame the limelight

Don’t look up just let them think
There’s no place else you’d rather be in now
You can’t turn back
Because this road is all you’ll ever have

It’s obvious that you’re dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera’s lying
And oh oh open wide
This is your night so smile

Yeah yeah you’re asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in
Yeah yeah well you’re just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let’s see you walk in
I said let’s see you walk in

Yeah yeah well you’re just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let’s see you walk in
I said let’s see you walk in

It’s obvious that you’re dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera’s lying
And oh oh open wide
You’re oh oh open wide
You’re oh oh open wide
Cause you’ll go out in style
You’ll go out in style

I am outside
And I’ve been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I’ve seen worlds that don’t belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I like to capture this voice
it came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I’ll show myself it wasn’t forged
We’re at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me

And I’ll take the truth at any cost

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth, scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth, scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush
Crush, crush

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than’ this

If you want to play it like a game
Come on, come on let’s play
‘Cause I’d rather waste my life pretending than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth, scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth, scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush
Crush, crush

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than’ this now

Rock and roll baby, don’t you know that we’re all alone now
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, don’t you know, baby that we’re all alone now
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll hey, don’t you know, baby that we’re all alone now
Give me something to sing about

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than’ no

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than’
More than this
Ohh
Hmm

I’ve gone for too long living like I’m not alive
So I’m going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I’m gonna make sure it’s replaced
With chances taken
Hope embraced
I hope I told you

I’m not going
cause I’ve been waiting for a miracle
And I’m not leaving
I won’t let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you

We’ve learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We’ve tied our pain below and no one ever has to know
That inside we’re broken
I tried to patch things up again
To cut my tears and kill my fears
But have I told you how I..

I’m not going
Cause I’ve been waiting for a miracle
And I’m not leaving
I won’t let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you

It’s not faith if, if you use your eyes
Oh why

Get it right this time (this time)
Let’s leave this all behind
Oh why

We’ll get it right this time
It’s not faith if you’re using your eyes
Oh why

I’ve gone for too long living like I’m not alive
So I’m going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I

I don’t want to run from anything uncomfortable
I just want, no
I just need this pain to end right here

I’m not going
Cause I’ve been waiting for a miracle
And I’m not leaving
I won’t let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you

Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you

It’s not faith if, if you use your eyes
If you use your eyes
If you use your eyes

What a shame we all became, such fragile broken things,
A memory remains, Just a tiny spark,
I give it all my oxygen, to let the flames begin,
So let the flames begin,

Ohhhh Glory…. Ohh Glory!

This is, how we’ll dance when,
when they try to take us down,
This is what we’ll be ohh glory.

Somewhere weakness is our strength,
And i’ll die searching for it,
I can’t let myself regret, such selfishness,
My pain I know the trouble caused, no matter how long,
I believe that there’s hope,

buried beneath it all, and,
hiding beneath it all and,
growing beneath it all and…

This is, how we’ll dance when,
when they try to take us down,
This is how we’ll sing out…
This is, how we’ll stand when,
when they burn our houses down,
This is what we’ll be Oh Glory!

Reaching as I sink down into life.
Reaching as I sink down into life.

This is, how we dance when,
when they try to take us down,
This is how we’ll sing out.
This is, how we’ll stand when,
when they burn our houses down,
This is what we’ll be Oh Glory!

And when it rains on this side of town
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don’t miss a thing
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
and convinced yourself
that it’s not the reason you don’t see the sun anymore

and no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
(no oh) I need an ending
So why can’t you stay
Just long enough to explain

And when it rains
You always find an escape
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And you’ll sleep till May
You’ll say that you don’t want to see the sun anymore

and no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
(no oh) I need an ending
So why can’t you stay
Just long enough to explain

(Explain your side, Take my side)
Take these chances to turn it around
Take these chances we’ll make it somehow
And Take these chances and turn it around
Just turn it around.

and no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming and
(no oh) I need an ending
So why can’t you stay
Just long enough to explain

You can take your time, take my time.

Somehow everything’s gonna fall right into place
if we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
if only time flew like a dove
we gotta make it fly faster than I’m falling in love

this time we’re not giving up
let’s make it last forever
screaming “hallelujah”
we’ll make it last forever

holding onto patience, wearing thin
I can’t force these eyes to see the end
if only time flew like a dove
we could watch it fly and just keep looking on

this time we’re not giving up
let’s make it last forever
screaming “hallelujah”
we’ll make it last forever

and we’ve got time on our hands
and we’ve got, got nothing but time on our hands
got nothing but, got nothing but
got nothing but time on our hands

this time we’re not giving up
oh, let’s make it last forever
screaming “hallelujah”
“hallelujah”
“hallelujah”

No sir, well I don’t want to be the blame
Not anymore
It’s your turn to take a seat
We’re settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can’t decide, you have made it harder just to go on
Why all the possibilities where I was wrong

That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
I drowned out all my senses with the sound of it’s beating
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa

I wonder how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here
‘Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holding on to silly things
I never learned why when all the possibilities I’m sure you heard

That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
I drowned out all my senses with the sound of it’s beating
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa

They make you wait to me, to me
And I’ll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart started right in me
Let’s start, hey

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
I can’t trust myself with anything but this
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
