Necessity drove us together but we tore each other apart Combined we were unstoppable Greater than the sum of our parts Your judgement is clouded Your ethics are corrupt People need to pay for their sins You used to be headed north, now your compass points you south Change is the only constant I used to follow your lead, now I’m running ‘till my feet bleed Change is the only constant You had the chance to go in quietly But you chose instead to fight Can’t comprehend your choices Can’t tell wrong from right Your judgement is clouded Your ethics are corrupt People need to pay for their sins You used to be headed north, now your compass points you south Change is the only constant I used to follow your lead, now I’m running ‘till my feet bleed Change is the only constant Your judgement is clouded Your ethics are corrupt People need to pay for their sins You used to be headed north, now your compass points you south Change is the only constant I used to follow your lead, now I’m running ‘till my feet bleed Change is the only constant Pain is the only constant

Help Me Too 03:15
I was feeling lonely and cast out My mind made me wanna shout Needed someone to guide me But I had doubts Then I found you And I feel like I Can make it alright That emptiness inside Being alone just does not suit And I’d be better on a team I can help you But you can sure as hell help me too Feel like I’m on cloud nine You are finally all mine Needed someone, you found me We will shine Then I found you And I feel like I Can make it alright That emptiness inside Being alone just does not suit And I’d be better on a team I can help you But you can sure as hell help me too I screwed up, I failed I feel like it’s all over But no one can win every battle And no man should fall without a struggle Then I found you And I feel like I Can make it alright That emptiness inside I’m here, for you And I just ask that You be there for You be there for me too Being alone just does not suit And I’d be better on a team I can help you Being alone just does not suit And I’d be better on a team I can help you Yeah, I can help you But you can sure as hell help me too

I was a kid You smiled down at You were a man I looked up to I saw you Not that often I didn’t know What I meant to You met her Your whole life changed You moved away I saw you much less But still I thought That I meant as Much to you As you did to me I see everything so much clearer now You don’t know what you were someway, somehow What I had was a piece of family But all I wanted was a friend I met them And my whole life changed They knew me By their own name I knew I’d Be in their lives Forever And always make them smile I see everything so much clearer now You don’t know what you were someway, somehow What I had was a piece of family But all I wanted was a friend I see now that things won’t be The way that I thought they would I want to be who you once were Be the man that I know I should This is no story With an ending so abrupt I’ll take my turn to smile down Instead of smiling up I see everything so much clearer now You don’t know what you were someway, somehow What I had was a piece of family But all I wanted was a friend I see everything so much clearer now You don’t know what you were, someway somehow What I have is a piece of family and now I also have a friend

Everything is quiet now No one left at home Just myself and no you It's been a long time Since I've been alone You saw to that But now it's all up to me Too much to say too much to do But I know I need to try One day just isn't enough time To learn how to say goodbye I can't prepare myself for this But that's my cross to bear I try to keep a smile on The weight of loss is crushing me Felt preemptively All that matters is now I don't want this to be real (One day just isn't enough time To learn how to say goodbye) Too much to say too much to do But I know I need to try One day just isn't enough time To learn how to say goodbye Looking back is far too easy But at the same time very hard Thinking about all the good times Sitting there in our back yard And I know you'd want me to carry on Too much to say too much to do But I know I need to try One day just isn't enough time To learn how to say goodbye (To learn how to say goodbye) Too much to say too much to do But I know I need to try One day just isn't enough time To learn how to say goodbye Too much to say too much to do But I know I need to try One day just isn't enough time To learn how to say goodbye Goodbye
