Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


What more do you want from me?
I've given you all that you need.
First it's one thing and then the next,
I'm still trying to read the expression you left.
One minute you're here and the next you're gone,
Chasing after you has become my life.
I've given up on hope and soon our love,
Done waiting around for you to notice.
Feelings that you poured to me,
Used to matter but now they don't.
Learn to make up your mind,
Until then, goodbye.
I said I was wrong,
I said I was right,
Nothing ever turns out all right.
What does it take to please you?
With everything you know I do.
Some things seem real,
Others a dream,
But now I'm leaving.
How does it feel not knowing I'm there?
Forever I swear I am done.
Notes that you wrote are being burned,
Moments we had are long forgotten.
I washed my face to get rid of your smell,
Threw out my jacket that you wore.
Get it through your head that I'm serious,
There's no more you and I.
Take him, him, or that other guy,
Out of my sight and off you go.
I don't know you anymore,
Just another face in the world.
Save your apologies for when you need a lie,
'Cause the bank doesn't cash them.
I said I was wrong,
I said I was right,
Nothing ever turns out all right.
What does it take to please you?
With everything you know I do.
Some things seem real,
Others a dream,
But now I'm leaving.
Beg on your knees, leave a hundred messages,
I'll push right past, I'll show you the new me.
Fear rests within your eyes,
I can tell because I'm the source.
Get over me 'cause I'm over you,
Haven't you got the clue?
I said I was wrong,
I said I was right,
Nothing ever turns out all right.
What does it take to please you?
With everything you know I do.
Some things seem real,
Others a dream,
But now I'm leaving.
I am going away,
I'm leaving.
