Moving Up 02:26
I moved up in the world and I won’t look down Can’t confine me to this town Pointless words and sleepless nights are the reasons I still fight You think that life is easy, but being nice was your favorite lie You took this all for granted, but at the end you didn’t try To make it worth it and fix these problems End this hope for a better tomorrow So now I know who I can trust, and I’ll face the facts that I must move on So I take a step back and look at my life, no regrets I’ve cut the ties It’s getting better with every line I feel like I’m on top of it all, it’s my time to get what I want I won’t be held back anymore, the decisions are made These memories will fade I’ve realized that I never needed you It was you who held me back from all the great things I can do I could have made a difference, you should have stayed But in the end you strayed away And here I remain strong, even though everything was wrong It’s my time I’m on top of it all, I’ll get what I want, and I won’t look back

Hey Lance 03:10
Moving on is the hardest part when you can't find the words to start with There's too much on my mind to forget I won't regret all the things we did And it kills me to think that all of it will end And I'd give anything for one more night here with my friends So as much as it hurts to say goodbye I know in my heart it's not the last time I'll still see you, we'll keep in touch Friends forever, and brothers at heart So I thought we'd always be together Now I know nothing lasts forever Life goes on, but it's for the better There's one thing, I'll always remember 'Cause I'll remember all those wasted nights We always spent together, I wish they'd last forever As you go down highways and cross state lines Don't forget all those friends you left behind Time won't defeat us, I'll always stand by your side And no one cares much when I say I wish you weren't so far away But separation's harder every day I'd hate to see all of our dreams go astray All I can say is I wish that you would stay And I'll replay the good times over in my mind While every one moves on with the next chapters of their lives It's nothing new to the world, but it's the hardest thing for me

Ignorance 02:17
I didn’t want it to come down to this Why do you have to be so ignorant There’s only so much I can stand and you’ve exceeded my limits And it took less than a minute There’s no point in starting a war ‘Cause to be honest you’re not worth it Your fake friends will keep you here, but not for too long You’ll never leave because you don’t deserve it Do you really think you’ve accomplished something ‘Cause in my eyes you haven’t done anything Nothing at all You were never ever anything All those words you said weren’t true to me
4.
Take a look in the mirror and tell me what you see Friends tell you to listen, but you ignore their plea You’re so codependent, but you hate everyone you meet Keep stewing in jealousy and your sense of defeat Quit again, see if I care I’m numb to this, it’s happened too many times Spend years craving change, And now you’re too scared to change anything at all Lazy to a fault and bitter to a point of no return Search your past to find someone to blame But you know it’s you all along, you know it’s true The names will change and faces fade, but people stay the same But my problems stay the same I’m sick of writing the same songs over again I couldn’t bring myself to say this One year later and nothing’s changed at all Was there even a point at all I swore that twelve months has brought me progress Lately my life has been a mess Keep bitchin’ to a crowd of zero, where’s your passion What happened to your devotion, take charge, take action ‘Cause you need help, you’re just fine You never decide for yourself I couldn’t bring myself to say this I’ve always hit the concrete face first Time to pack up and start over Nothing can define you Start over, pick a side
5.
Time to look back and think away, take the other lines out of play Put all the words want to say, and make this made up memory stay Turn these thoughts into reality and carve them into stone Prevent the past from coming back just let it go You’re a better man now let it be known That was then and this is now, time has let you grow You’d like to think you were too young to know Even though it doesn’t seem so long ago Something tells you that you’ve always known You dug a pit too deep without a ladder or a rope Wishing there was a way to block out the past Take the memories you want and make sure the others don’t last You used to think you were even with everybody else Now you’re sinking to the bottom, can’t take a breath to yell for help But who would even save you You did this to yourself
