You said you’d see those stars from a mile away You’ll never live that down Playing legend everywhere we went You stayed with me somehow I would have followed you I never got to tell you anything You never got to see these tears What I have I owe it all to you It’s been killing me for years I would have followed you ‘til The of end of my days I would have followed you ‘til The of end of my days And I’ll remember you ‘til The end of my days I will remember you ‘til The end of my days And all the days All the days All the days All the days Of my life

All the Same 04:12
You said you’d live with no one else You said you’d live with no one else You said you’d stay with no one else I hope you’re happy all the same I hope you’re happy all the same I thought that no one else was right I needed help to carry on I needed highs to hide my pain I needed help and then you came Where are you now I hope the choice I made was right I hope the choice you made was right And I hope you’re happy all the same I hope you’re happy all the same I hope you’re happy all the same I hope you’re happy all the same

Darkness so bright that I had to find light We had been waiting for years Terrible days and terrible weeks No end in sight for our tears It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming Where is the light that I saw in your face The one that was always on show I have to find where I lost that old place I have to know where to go It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming Terrible days have gone for a while Terrible days have gone for a while Terrible days have gone for a while Terrible days have gone for a while It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming Long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming

Fight 02:38
We'll take it on the chin That's what we've always done before We'll let them all back in That's what we've always done before Tonight we've gotta fight We'll break them while we can Tonight we gotta fight All the hell they put us through Why are we such passive fools Let's break them while we can Tonight we've gotta fight We'll break them while we can Tonight we gotta fight Let's break them while we can Tonight we gotta fight All the hell they put us through Why are we such passive fools Let's break them while we can
