Capo 3:   G   D   Em   C Verse 1:   tears like rain drown you in your pain weighing you down you are breaking let them fall this is your once for all lifting you up you are breaking you are breaking Chorus: close your eyes for a while put away your umbrella now so you can feel the rain on your face let it take you away from this place give your tears up to the storm rain like tears can soak into your heart if you let your walls fall down get wrapped up in the sound just breathe just breathe Verse 2: still you cry as you stare up at the sky calling you home you are searching don’t stop now or else you’ll never be found holding

Verse 1: sometimes you feel like nobody cares it seems dark and cold and you get scared you just feel so alone you start to give up hope Refrain: but I’ll be there to catch you when you fall I’ll be there to give you my all and when you feel alone and cold full of doubt fed up with it all and you just want out I’ll be there to remind you happiness comes from inside you so take my hand you can trust me 'cause I’ll always be there Verse 2: sometimes you feel like it’s falling apart you’ve lost control, can’t find your heart you just want it to end you hide from your friends Refrain: but I’ll be

this is beauty? lips full and red they're just swollen tainted by the poison she vomits upon the truth who could look at those eyes and wonder at their sparkle? they are merely diamonds catching light and spitting it back out letting none find its way in would you compare her to a rose? her skin is only soft because every night she breaks off the thorns and carefully fixes them on her heart they think this is beauty? I can't stand looking at her that's why I avoid mirrors

he is difficult, stubborn and occasionally infuriating too many grudges fester behind his flashing hazel eyes and he refuses to love himself he is broken and bleeding and he is too beautiful for words there are scars stark and straight striping his arm from his wrist to his elbow mocking any happiness he finds now that the bleeding has stopped and I want with all my heart to love them away so that he can forget the empty boy who drew them there in a desperate attempt to make himself feel something his emotions were beaten out of him more by words and stares than by fists and in times of quiet when he is still and alone he fo

losing you was like being rescued from drowning only to realize I had gills first breath came crashing in but my lungs were made of glass now shattered shards fill me up I'm breaking from the inside out the breaths don't stop I'm still gasping because air isn't enough I need to be breathing you and each you-less breath breaks off another piece of me until I'm coughing up memories please just put me back in the water

When I was fourteen, I smoked my first cigarette. Partly because I was bored and partly because I always knew it'd happen eventually. A couple weeks later I tried weed. I figured, why not? Being high sounded like a good time. It gets my mind off things. What does a kid like me need to forget about? I'm only seventeen, but I'm pretty sure I've already screwed myself over. I've ruined more than one person. I said things that tore them apart. I knew exactly what to say to break them and that's why I said what I did. I wanted to break them the way they broke me. Look at me. I'm nothing. I'm never gonna be anything. I'm just another runaway pothea

he's been stabbed in the back so many times he can recognize a blade by its bite and he's bled so much there's nothing left to lose he's been knocked off his feet so many times he can't keep his footing on any kind of ground half the time he doesn't even know if he's standing or falling but tears are for people who care and anger is for people who had something else in mind trust is something you can't give when there are knife wounds in your back love isn't something you can risk when you don't know where you stand so he'll stumble along empty and alone dry eyes and a still heart until a blade sticks or he just doesn't

I walked a mile in his shoes and ended up a mile away from everything I'd ever known everyone I'd ever loved with blisters on my heart I saw the world through his eyes colours were dull faces were blank but no tears would fall if no one else cares, why should I? I stood in his shoes looked through his eyes and saw myself running and getting nowhere silently crying reaching, but always too far and I hated myself for being just another person who would never understand

Verse 1 dancing eyes and clever lies the tiger boy comes out tonight he's got that look says I know I took your heart, I traded for a smile he races away to find more prey another girl with silky hair steals a kiss and leaves her there Refrain nobody, nobody, nobody stands a chance against those tiger eyes, oh how they dance there's a purr in his song and it won't be long before the lion steps down as king 'cause the tiger boy, he's got everything Verse 2 Burning eyes and whispered lies the tiger boy has fun tonight with just a touch no, it don't take much she's his, prey to his smile he loves today in his own way th

there's a tiger in the city there's a tiger in the streets get under the covers hide beneath your sheets the tiger's getting hungry he wants some food to eat curl under your blanket you're safe if you're asleep there's a tiger in the city there's a tiger in the streets sleep now my darling hear the tiger's padded feet walking past your door there and back out to the street there's a tiger in the city there's a tiger in the streets
