It's a Lesson, At Least

There have been nights i've hated,
And many that i've tried to forget.
You know there's been days
That i just wish never happened..
But there'll never be one i regret.
I've played at shows this empty.
Wrote songs that meant nothing to me.
Been knocked down and nearly stayed there.
And i said i don't.. but i care.

With no place to go,
We'll just walk these endless streets alone.

Tonight wont feel cold.
I bet you never thought
This town could be so empty.
Place your hand to me,
Say there's still something
Beating underneath.
And lift this weight up off me.

So this year was one day too long,
You said things i wish you'd supressed..
That meant nothing to you,
And to me even less.

And that night that we talked
In the soaking rain,
We spoke our thoughts
But the words were all in vain.
Hope went through me,
Broke every piece on the way.

With no place to go,
We'll just walk these endless streets alone.

Tonight wont feel cold.
I bet you never thought
This town could be so empty.
Place your hand to me,
Say there's still something
Beating underneath.
And lift this weight up off me.

So calm down,
This isn't your concern.
Sure i make mistakes,
But never seem to learn.

Just calm down
Cause i'll get through.
I've done things wrong,
Messed things up,
Let things go,
But i'll never let you...

Tonight wont feel cold.
I bet you never thought
This town could be so empty.
Place your hand to me,
Say theres still something
Beating underneath.
And lift this weight up off me.

Lift this weight up off me.
