So this is what I get for trying to be nice
 Like it's the only time I've ever cared
 These blank walls make me sick
 Like excuses made up quick
 I'd move forward if I only could
 I'd like to thank you for this effort
 It left me barely breathing on this stretcher
 We'll work things out in the end
 But we'll still be far from friends
 Take my hand, run it through your hair again
 I'll just pretend you're someone else
 ♪
 It's what I always did
 I'm not gonna force it if it doesn't fit
 I'm not supposed to feel like this
 But the weight of the world is just too strong for me
 And I think I might just run away
 Back to your door
 ♪
 Empty days and lonely nights
 Provide a blueprint for the things I write
 So when people ask me, I know just what to say
 The thought of you helps me wake up every day
 And I don't believe in fate (in fate)
 The only fate is the fate you make (you make)
 So I'll keep my nose to the grindstone
 'Cause that's all that I can do
 I've got good friends that help me, too
 Someday I will get back to you
 ♪
 On the back of my hand is the number she wrote
 I'll call her when my whole world goes up in smoke
 Until then I'll wonder what could have been
 'Cause everything works itself out in the end
 In the end
