Can someone please just shake the lies out of me?
It seems that every word I say don't mean a thing
I've tried so hard to reel you closer to freedom
But with every cast I just exhaust all my options

Tonight, tonight we're going to make all the headlines
It's so damn hard to push my pride to the side

I'll take back everything I said
But know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean, of my emptiness
When these words aren't meaningless

I feel I'm constantly restricted by shackles
This so-called 'ball and chain' is all I've ever known
I've climbed some mountains I thought I'd never tackle
They gave me sense of hope, and most of all, a sense of home

Tonight, tonight we are gonna make all the headlines
I've tried for nights to write a new beginning, and failed every time

I'll take back everything I said
But know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
I'll come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
When these words aren't meaningless

Oh girl, you know everywhere I want to go
I won't stop, I can't stop
'Til I get just what I want
[X2]

Tonight, tonight we're gonna make all the headlines
Oh it's so damn hard

I'll take back everything I said
But know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
I'll come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
When these words aren't meaningless
