Listen to me now
And try to hear my words
I'm gonna tell the truth
Even if it hurts
And you don't understand me
And I can't make you whole
I've been too demanding
That's why I've got to go

Oh
Still we keep on pushing, pushing 'til there's nothing left
And everything you say is something we will soon regret

Well there's a world beyond these walls
Yeah I know it, feel it every day
And the love we used to have
Well it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need
Isn't this one and it's breaking me
But there's no time for ordinary words

Give it to me straight
So I can feel your pain
Nothing lasts forever
Life don't work that way
I know you love to hate me
But it's too late for that

Oh
Still we keep on pushing, pushing 'til there's nothing left
And everything we say is something we will soon regret

Well there's a world beyond these walls
Yeah I know it, feel it every day
And the love we used to have
Well it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need
Isn't this one and it's breaking me
There's no time for ordinary words

Oh
Still we keep on pushing, pushing 'til there's nothing left
And everything we say is something we will soon regret

Well there's a world beyond these walls
Yeah I know it feel it every day
And the love we used to have
Well it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need isn't this one and it's breaking me
But there's no time for ordinary words
No, there's no time for ordinary words
