[Verse One]
I am infective.
I am defective.
My mind is in a haze.
My body is in a maze.
And you can't bring me out.

I am dying.
I am crying.
My whole body is shaking.
My dreams are breaking.
This looks like the end.

[Chorus]
Uh-oh, you see the look in my eyes,
Breaking past all those intentional lies.
But, I'm laying,
Here praying,
For a chance to break on out.
And, I'm staying,
Delaying,
On my decision now.

[Verse Two]
I am a shock wave.
I cannot behave.
No one's holding me down.
For I refuse to let me drown.
Free as a bird, I fly.

I am a griever.
I am a believer.
So I-I can make it through.
Reaching my way to you.
Between me are no boundaries.

[Chorus]
Uh-oh, you see the look in my eyes,
Breaking past all those intentional lies.
But, I'm laying,
Here praying,
For a chance to break on out.
And, I'm staying,
Delaying,
On my decision now.

[Bridge]
Never a right day for goodbyes.
Not free as a bird, high in the skies.
Never a cry that you can't hear.
Not a single moment you don't fear.

[Chorus]
Uh-oh, you see the look in my eyes,
Breaking past all those intentional lies.
But, I'm laying,
Here praying,
For a chance to break on out.
And, I'm staying,
Delaying,
On my decision now.

Sum 41 - "Pieces"

I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don’t believe it makes me real
I’d thought it’d be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things that I said

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don’t know how it got so bad
Sometimes it’s so crazy that nothing could save me
But it’s the only thing that I have

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

(On my own!)

I tried to be perfect
It just wasn’t worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It’s hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own


Keep smiling. :]
