Survival is a must and focus is key But making it to the weekend seems impossible to me *4 more sleepless nights And a diminshing appetite Rampid, running thoughts ignite So much, it becomes difficult to write System overload, I fear I may explode Eyes open to find you dressed in the smell of rain These dreams are driving me insane To never look into your eyes again The thought's too much to entertain* A new place to call home and re-plant my roots Full of excitement, yet aprehension's no minute Forget wings, give me a parachute Thrilling adventure's in my pursuit* Survival is a must and focus is key But making it to the weekend seems impossible to me

*That whore Chicago stole you away Luring you, in with city lights Three thousand miles away from here I lay in bed alone tonight I guess I'm just the girl from back home Me or her, no comparisson Unfamiliar but so exciting New adventure, party for one Quite unfair to blame these new habits It's become, clear that I can't win Teasing you with opportunities She is a seductive siren But if you stayed, I would've left Sad to say, that's how this unfolds No chance for us to be together Or at least, that's what I'm told* I lay in bed alone tonight That whore Chicago stole you away That whore Chicago That whore Chicago

I woke up with a sinking heart Slept for 12 hours, yet still I'm tired This mind has been racing on a one way track The song's stuck on repeat and I can't seem to get it back *I think I might be ready Readyh to skip to the next song But even as I write this to tell you I'm through... I'm still thinking of you I was never able to make you fall for me, because I'm the one who fell for you Couldn't cathc me, so here I lay on the ground Couldn't pick me up, even though you tried to But I no longer need your help to get around* I'm trying to convince myself that we're truly friends and I haven't lost you for good But this "friendship" feeds a fire And just like a fading flame would We have dissolved into a dying desire* I'll write myself a forget-me-not and promise to remember Because tonight you get a goodbye Even though I'll see you in December Things will have changed and I won't be able to hide behind lies* Even though I'll see you in December Things will have changed and I won't be able to hide behind lies

"I don't understand why he breaks promises" He's going to break your heart "I'm upset and can't stop crying" I swear, I'll make him cry "He has alot to explain" More than you think *When she dances, why doesn't she notice when she steps on people's toes I'm sick of you dancing all over me, so I step aside But with your eyes shut tight this "preoccupation" has turned into obsessive thoughts and threatning tendancies How are you feeling this morning "Everything is perfect" Did you tell him you were crying you're eyes out, just last night? "Well, no" Oh, and why is that "Because he called"* "He's the one for me" The one you need to get rid of "I love him so much" You love the idea of him "We'll be together forever" Until you realize what you've gotten yourself into* "He's been away for too long" Not long enough "I'll just die if I can't see him" Well don't hold your breath "He can't wait to see me" He can't wait to get with you* "You don't even get how good it feels" You're right, I don't But you don't understand how bad it will hurt Then, the person who's toes you've been dancing on will pick up the pieces
