She said not to leave but don't you make a sound
When I'm weighed down with this doubt, oh I will stick around
And I know you said to stay, but when I'm being pushed around

Follow the day, oh I will stand my ground
Never wanna be one to shy away from a situation
You're calling my name but I refuse to listen

In to all the afterthoughts and into all the experience you taught
Oh I will face the day
Cut to the chase, oh I see more than one face


Reality is better than my dreams could ever be
And when I fall asleep it feels like I'll be here forever

In time I'll smile, worth the while
I was imagining your hand
In place of mine, I'll trace a line to make you understand

And when you look at me your eyes they light a thousand rooms
You take a smile and heal my memories and my open wounds
I live to fight another day


Once bitten twice shy, oh now I beg you to defy
Me one last time, just one last time (just one last)

Educate me on the mess that I created when I left
Chase this away, just to say it's ok
If all I do is sit and moan on what it's like to feel alone

Pull me off my chair and I'll begin to care
Let's write down our memories and talk out by the willow trees
We can take the day

Cut to the chase, oh I see more than one face

Reality is better than my dreams could ever be

And when I fall asleep it feels like I'll be here forever
In time I'll smile, worth the while
I was imagining your hand

In place of mine, I'll trace a line to make you understand
And when you look at me your eyes they light a thousand rooms
You take a smile and heal my memories and my open wounds

I live to fight another day

This sweet satire's got me so confused

And all it takes is just one hit to make me bruise
This sweet satire's got me so headspun
And you don't need me to tell you that you have won


Reality is better than my dreams could ever be
And when I fall asleep it feels like I'll be here forever

In time I'll smile, worth the while
I was imagining your hand
In place of mine, I'll trace a line to make you understand

And when you look at me your eyes they light a thousand rooms
You take a smile and heal my memories and my open wounds
I live to fight another day
