What's wrong with me, I hear her say
Forget everything, and what it means to me
I'm not alive, that's what she means
I hate to disappoint her, I only need some room to breathe
What's wrong with me, what's wrong with you
Must we compete, who speaks the truth
You can have it all, if it serves you well
As long as I leave with myself
Chorus:
I'm wide awake, I was dead before today
If you make it till tomorrow, see it works both ways
I will not try to apologize, for what I know is right
Another chance wrapped up again
Makes it difficult for you to comprehend
Just give it time, time's all we've had
I loved you as a child, now I must leave as a man
(Chorus)
It's so easy to be near me
When all I've said gets lost between
No, I don't know what you mean
It's so easy to believe me
Maybe I shouldn't, yes I can
You know exactly who I am
I shouldn't fake this thing
I've mistaken
for love, and I need to set her free
Let her walk away
And leave with the best part of me
What's wrong with me, what's wrong with you
Must we compete, who speaks the truth
You can have it all, if it serves you well
As long as I leave with myself
(Chorus)
Call it
something
that she needs to be
Call it
something
that she needs to find in me
Forget everything, and what it means to me
I'm not alive, that's what she means
I hate to disappoint her, I only need some room to breathe
Must we compete, who speaks the truth
You can have it all, if it serves you well
As long as I leave with myself
I'm wide awake, I was dead before today
If you make it till tomorrow, see it works both ways
I will not try to apologize, for what I know is right
Makes it difficult for you to comprehend
Just give it time, time's all we've had
I loved you as a child, now I must leave as a man
When all I've said gets lost between
No, I don't know what you mean
It's so easy to believe me
Maybe I shouldn't, yes I can
You know exactly who I am
I've mistaken
for love, and I need to set her free
Let her walk away
And leave with the best part of me
Must we compete, who speaks the truth
You can have it all, if it serves you well
As long as I leave with myself
something
that she needs to be
Call it
something
that she needs to find in me

i have never heard this song b4 or the band i'm actually lookin 4 a different song but reading the lyrics to this i thinks it's about a guy and a girl who were b/f and g/f when they were kids now he wants to move on and find someone else. see the sentance, "i loved you as a child now i must leave as a man"
i love this song and i sorta agree with green1 about the meaning
In my opinion, it's about a guy who is just stepping back from a girl...because he feels overburdened with the relationship.
But he is getting sick of the girl, and is deciding to tell her off, instead of being wrapped around her finger. Telling her to take him or leave him...cause he isn't playing her game anymore
