Hung Up 03:34
You left me hanging, so I watched your roses die Like ghosts in a room of light, you never even said goodbye Who would've thought there'd be a way to kill my self esteem My thoughts are so tempting and the sky's calling my name Cherish the memories, they won't last forever Leave me behind and I'll sit back and dwell on Your last words that shattered my teenage heart Dreams broke, love fractured, you tore my life apart Someday, I will say, everything will be okay But I need a way to get me through the night I'm afraid to try, was this whole thing one big lie, maybe my instincts told me right Let me rot here in the dark, you were my only light

Just stand back and watch me burn I'll make sure you get your turn Fuck the regrets and the rules I've got nothing left to lose It's only after we've lost everything That we are free to do anything So I'll run away just to escape All the pointless drama and the hate In this town that I so much despise It brings me down, I don't even know why Let's burn this book of memories saved To wipe this frown right off of my face 'Cause I've been waiting for way too long For everything to not feel wrong I should've known you wouldn't stay true With friends like these, I don't need you I found a way to ease my pain Surrounded by those who feel the same Here's to the one who split me in two With friends like these, I don't need you Here's to another night of watching the city burn Another broken heart, another lesson learned Go ahead and say what's on your mind 'Cause truth be told, you're still on mine But the difference between me and you Is that I have friends to get me through

Fly Away 03:53
I watch you on your throne, your heart is made of stone Judging everyone is a sport that you condone Don't think I can't see that you have grown to be Exactly what I hate, and we always disagree This place is not my own, a dream all based on hope This town has pushed my limits as far as they can go How lovely it must be, the secrets that you keep You wear the mask of God to hide what's really underneath Take me away from all this pain, there's a reason that I'm so ashamed Someday I will grow my wings and fly away And I won't miss a single thing about you I used to think that I was the one who I despised But you clearly proved me wrong with your deceitful lies How can somebody be so demanding And give nothing in return, so disappointing I swear to God that I'm gonna leave it all behind For a chance to show that I can be a shining light While you stay where you are, hiding in the dark When you see me living out my dream, remember who you are Crush your crown and love for yourself, you're no better than me
