How About You Lyrics By Staind

if someone else showed you the way
would you take the wheel and steer?
it hurts me that you're not ashamed
of what you're doing here
if they jumped off a bridge
would you meet them on the ground?
or would you try and claim
that it never made a sound

[chorus]
everyone plays the hand they're dealt
and learns to walk through life themselves
not everything in life is handed on a plate
when people think your words are true
it doesn't matter what you do
i sold my soul to get here
how 'bout you?

so you choose to force your hand
what a strange way to make freinds
and you always change the rules
so the drama never ends
and you blindly go through life
judging only by what its worth
just try not to forget
that the meek inherit earth

[chorus]

so please don't take offense
this is just a point of view
cuz i'm the only one who
will say these things to you

[chorus]

Price To Play Lyrics By Staind

Failed to see how destructive we can be (can be)
Taking without giving back till the damage can be seen (be seen)

Can you see?! Can you see?!

The more you take the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see and all you gave
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules no one no blame
The price to pay to play the game

Empathy the chosen way to be (to be)
Blindly look the other way while you waste away with me (with me)

Can you see?! Can you see?!

The more you take the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see and all you gave
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules no one no blame
The price to pay to play the game

What you pay to play the game [x4]

The more you take the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see and all you gave
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules no one no blame
The price to pay to play the game

What you pay to play the game [x4

Epiphany Lyrics By Staind

Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the thing's I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause i don't take anymore
or this, I want to come apart.
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious heart

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
though I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

Change Lyrics By Staind

If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inisde but
Have so much that I could feel some
pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

I try and try to break away from all the hate
I'm feeling for every one of you that's ever
done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
for the way I'm living. I guess I can't 'cause
I don't feel like I deserve it

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
the shame I feel. Forgive me.

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within me.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

AGAIN!

Fill Me Up Lyrics By Staind

i just had to let you know
cuz i don't always let it show
you give me needed room to grow
and i just had to tell you so

[chorus]

you fill me up,
you're in my veins
a look could take my breath away
and all these things, you give away
sometimes i take for granted
it's just like poetry inside to hear you breathing by my side
like i'm in heaven and i've died
so glad you're with me for this ride

[chorus]

i see your face to start my day
makes my all bad dreams go away
and all the stupid games we play
wouldn't have it any other way

[chorus (x2)]

Crawl Lyrics By Staind

I'm so lonely
You're so beautiful
Not the only
One that's pitiful

Scratched and torn I lay here in pieces
Craving all of your deadly vices
Like to think that I'm not addicted
But I guess I wear it well

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through you

Here I am now
Not a lot has changed
Nothing' better
Everything's the same

Late at night I can hear your voices
Talking shit about all my choices
You would think you've known me forever
Just because you know my name

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through you

Everything falls apart
Everything... [3x]

Everything falls apart
Everything [3x]

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through

Open Your Eyes Lyrics By Staind

As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof over head
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
and Your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the cold rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?
