Up all night and crying
Up all night and crying to myself
I'm losing all my lines

Up all night and lying
Up all night and lying to myself
I'm wasting all my time

Up all night and dying
I never wanna see what you believe
I'm wasting my time
Just one more line and you're gonna see

I'm not gonna beat around the bush
If I have to then I'm gonna push
To make you see what I mean
That it's never gonna be that way clean
All the meaning for things in my life
Didn't come til I turned down the night
Either way, something's gotta give
Pretending to live

This race is never over
This race you're racing against time
You're bound to lose

I'm never gonna see you
I'm never gonna see you this side
And I don't like getting news

I'm never gonna free you
You think you're the only one who's gone wrong?
Surrounded by people you call friends—what good are they at the end?
When the hell are you gonna be strong?

I'll never be able to leave you this way
In my thoughts you'll always stay
Like the child that I knew from the start
And the person that's breaking my heart
My love for you's going nowhere
But it doesn't seem like you really care
Either way, something's gotta give

I know that time is standing by, waiting for you to join in
Even if you don't know, I'm telling you—you're waiting to begin.

Up all night and trying
Up all night and trying to say what I mean to you.
Now my nights are over
Now my nights are over and now I can say this to you.
I love you so sincerely
You know we're all trying to peace
Everyone's had something go bad
With our friends or our moms and our dads
Will you listen, cause I want you to see

I'll never be able to leave you this way
In my thoughts you'll always stay
Like the child that I knew from the start
And the person that's breaking my heart
My love for you, why can't you hear?
Stop running, 'cause you're running from fear
It's all taking, and there's nothing to give
Pretending to live
