I’m going crazy yeah I’m pulling my hair Revved up and ready but I’m going nowhere Read all the magazines in your waiting room Now I’m waiting on the word and I’m sealing my doom Uh huh, uh huh, oh yeah Don’t want to act like the rest of the guys Not gonna learn and I’m not gonna try Don’t wait my turn and I don’t wait in line But I’m waiting all the time and I’m not sure why Uh huh, uh huh, oh yeah But it’s hard to be lonely tonight It’s hard to be lonely Tonight I think I’m crawling out of my skin How’d we end up in this place again? Don’t know upside down don’t know right from wrong When the days fly by why’s it take so long? Uh huh, uh huh, oh yeah But it’s hard to be lonely tonight It’s hard to be lonely tonight And I’m never gonna get it, never gonna get it right But it’s hard to be lonely Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, oh yeah It’s hard to be lonely tonight It’s hard to be lonely tonight It’s hard to be lonely tonight It’s hard to be lonely tonight

Fix me a drink is all I’ve heard tonight Is that what you think? Maybe I’m not too bright Good, better, best, and bested – get pissed ’cause it’s expected If it’s a war you want I might Drank a ton and we had our fun Yeah we did tonight Called me names and you played your games Yeah you did tonight What’s truth and what is fiction Doesn’t matter just give me friction We’re gonna burn it down tonight So fix me a drink is all you’ve heard tonight? You do the math, stuck here the rest of your life Never mix and never worry, peel the labels till they’re blurry If it’s a war you want I might Drank a ton and we had our fun Yeah we did tonight Called me names and you played your games Yeah you did tonight What’s truth and what is fiction Doesn’t matter just give me friction We’re gonna burn it down tonight Pulled a gun and we had our fun Yeah we did tonight Called me names and you played your games Yeah you did tonight Dashed hopes and good intentions they're things we never mention But you can bet we will tonight Yeah you can bet we will tonight Yeah you can bet we will tonight

This debutante Knows what she wants Takes no shit And claps back twice as quick Something for the girl with every Something for the girl with every Something for the girl with everything She’s got the whole wide world to see It’s rather bittersweet to see her leave ‘Cause no one here loves her more than me This debutante She’s a beauty like her mom Gets things done She’s a real, live army of one Something for the girl with every Something for the girl with every Something for the girl with everything Something for the girl with everything She’s got the whole wide world to see It’s rather bittersweet to see her leave ‘Cause no one here loves her more than me Something for the girl with every Something for the girl with every Something for the girl with everything Something for the girl with everything

If we ever get out alive I’m going to tell you how I feel Well it’s been better days To say what I wanna say But it’s hard to believe it’s real Now we’re both on our backs And we’re tied to the tracks I guess I thought there would always be time But I’ll stay by your side through this terrible ride If we ever get out If we ever get out If we ever get out alive If we ever get out alive Just survive the whole ordeal And we'll maybe be fine or just losing our minds But the worst of it’s been revealed Now we’re both on our backs And we’re tied to the tracks I guess I thought there would always be time But I’ll stay by your side as we wait for a ride Just to get out alive And I can do anything Just ’cause I want to Just ’cause I want to now It doesn’t mean anything If we never get out Ever get out alive If we ever get out alive Ever get out alive If we ever get out alive If we ever get out alive If we ever get out alive I’m going to tell you how I feel

You know something so small Becomes a big, big deal I know it’s easy to hurt I know it’s easy to feel Like everything I break Everything you’ve thrown Becomes another reason we should be alone Yeah it’s all imaginary, all imaginary And I don’t think it’s worth it anymore I don’t know why I Listen to the words you say When I tried playing by the rules And I wound up in the same old place Everybody knows that it’s just how you feel Playing along but it’s just not real No it’s all imaginary, all imaginary And I don’t think it’s worth it anymore Everything I break Everything you’ve thrown Becomes another reason we should be alone Yeah it’s all imaginary, all imaginary I don’t think it’s worth it I don’t think it’s worth it I don’t think it’s worth it Anymore

You think that you’re no good We talk around it like people should You spend your free time running away Now that loneliness has come to stay, but I believe in you Even though you won’t hear me say it I believe in you, I believe in you Make no mistake you’re all you’ve got Lines are open so call your shots Don’t let ’em tell you that it’s over and done Millions will enter but you’ve already won I believe in you Even though you won’t hear me say it I believe in you, I believe in you I believe in you Even though you won’t hear me say it I believe in you, I believe in you May come a time when you're all alone Social life dull as a dial tone Second guess every kindness you’ve been shown I believe in you Even though you won’t hear me say it I believe in you, I believe in you I believe in you Even though you won’t hear me say it I believe in you, I believe in you

I guess I felt it out there A sort of numbness in my knees She asked me what my name was Mumbled something strange in Japanese I’ve never been a planner Follow where the path just goes Prob’ly should’ve asked her If she had plans, she had plans to go And I know she don’t hang around here Hang around here now I see her in my dreams I don’t remember what we talk about That’s okay I’ll prob’ly find out somehow Somewhere there’s a place for us Somewhere good enough’s enough Somewhere there’s enough to go around But not in this town Guess I put it out there I was reckless in my youth Guess it got me somewhere Now I’ll hold space, space and time for you And I know she don’t hang around here Hang around here now See her in my dreams I don’t remember what we talked about That’s okay I’ll prob’ly find out somehow Somewhere there’s a place for us Somewhere good enough’s enough Somewhere there’s enough to go around Just not in this town And I know she don’t hang around here Hang around here now I see her in my dreams I don’t remember what we talked about That’s okay I’ll prob’ly find out somehow Somewhere there’s a place for us Somewhere good enough’s enough Somewhere there’s enough to go around Just not in this town Somewhere there’s a place for us Somewhere good enough’s enough Somewhere there’s enough to go around Just not in this town

It’s only so long I can pretend There’s nothing wrong (with you) ‘Cause I’m not that strong But what if I was We’d never get along I don’t know what to say When you push me away Pull me close the very next day Come on, come on, come on Why can’t you see what you’re doing to me? Come on, come on, come on I’m put upon It’s all too much Now things are too far gone Let’s just prolong Our little act And maybe I won’t let on That I don’t know what to say When you push me away And pull me close the very next day Come on, come on, come on Why can’t you see what you’re doing to me? Come on, come on, come on I’m in misery when you tell me It’s all over and now we’re through Call me tomorrow tell me what to do Wish I’d never laid eyes on you Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on

There’s a line we should’ve never crossed And it’s not worth comparing what we both have lost And I know you’re feeling kinda double-crossed But I follow along ’cause I know you’re the boss And I’m sorry but the joke’s on you And it won’t get better ’cause you want it to Yeah I’m sorry but the joke’s on you And it won’t get better ’cause you want it to Well it’s too soon to tell if anybody’s won And it’s not worth comparing what we both have done Been quite a while since we had any fun But I’ll hang around till you cut and run And I’m sorry but the joke’s on you And it won’t get better ’cause you want it to Yeah I’m sorry but that’s the way it was And it won’t get better ’cause you hope it does And I’m sorry but the joke’s on you And it won’t get better ’cause you want it to Yeah I’m sorry but that’s the way it was And it won’t get better ’cause you hope it does I’m sorry but the joke’s on you And it won’t get better ’cause you want it to Yeah I’m sorry but the joke’s on you And it won’t get better ’cause you want it to

There’s no use trying to figure you out I gave up, I gave up a long time ago I worked at it for years and years With nothing, nothing, nothing to show Despite the stupid games that you played There must be a reason why I stayed Bigfoot, Stonehenge, killer bees UFOs and ESP Anastasia and you it seems The world’s greatest unsolved mysteries It’s over now what can I say? What can I say, it’s the end of the line Was it worth it? (No!) Was it worth it? (No!) Still I don’t mind Despite the stupid games that you played There must be a reason why I stayed Bigfoot, Stonehenge, killer bees UFOs and ESP Anastasia and you it seems The world’s greatest unsolved Bigfoot, Stonehenge, killer bees UFOs and ESP Anastasia and you it seems The world’s greatest unsolved mysteries The world’s greatest unsolved mysteries The world’s greatest

The pleasure of her company Is your responsibility Just one minor request Mr. 9 to 5 Man needs a bigger brainpan Daddy won’t be impressed It’s on the tip of her tongue Don’t get carried away You’re a shiny new toy and she’s ready to play Whoa you’re a temporary problem Whoa temporary problem They’ve seen your kind before Gonna get you sorted out They’re gonna show you to the door You must be delirious If you think it’s serious They’ve already made up her mind There’s no room for daddy’s girl in your teeny-tiny world Now she’s biding her time It’s on the tip of her tongue Don’t get carried away You’re a shiny new toy and she’s ready to play Whoa you’re a temporary problem Whoa temporary problem They’ve seen your kind before Gonna get you sorted out They’re gonna show you to the door
