Carpediem

will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Becauseof you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it outI cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cryEvery night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
Over the same damn thing

Because of you
Inever stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my lifebecause it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you, Because of you

Out here in the fields
I farm for my meals
I get my back into my living.
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven.
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally, takemy hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder.
The exodus is here
The happy wolds are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older.

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland.
Teenage wasteland
Oh, yeah
Teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

2 AM and she calls me cause I´m still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
Idon´t love him, winter just wasn´t my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you´re all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can´t jump the track
We´re like cars on a cable
and life´s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button, girl
So cradle your head in your hands.
Andbreathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
"Just a day," he said down to the flask in his fist
Ain´t been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he´s been down for awhile
But my God it´s so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him maybe I´ll just sing about it

Cause you can´t jump the track
We´re like cars on...
