Will we pay, for the lives we pushed away
Or find a way, I'm just asking you to stay

So how can I, just up and leave without a goodbye,
I'll find a way for you to stay,
If you stay right beside me
It's not enough to just sit still all my life,
So I'll escape or I'll at least have tried
So let's open up our eyes to see the light
Well for what are we waiting?
Tell me what are you waiting

Oh, yeah in the end it's how hard we try,
But we do just enough to get by
No, it doesn't matter how hard we try,
To stay alive and I don't know why
Why you don't seem to care anymore,
And if you're letting me walk out the door,
Then you must be satisfied with the way
That your life passes by

And it starts today,
And I'm surprised you feel the same way
For what it's worth, you were my world,
You looked past and you waited
You waited for me to get past all the pain,
And put the pain all in the past once again
And when I needed to escape, you found a way
Well I think I'm excited
God I hope I'm excited

Oh, yeah in the end it's how hard we try,
But we do just enough to get by
Oh, it doesn't matter how hard we try,
To stay alive and I don't know why
Why you don't seem to care anymore,
And if you're letting me walk out the door,
Then you must be satisfied with the way
That your life passes by

I'll make it clear what I mean,
Yea I just want you to stay with me
We won't get caught in between, you'll see
We can leave all of ourselves far behind
Stay until the very end

Oh, when in the end babe it's how hard we try,
We'll never get enough done to get by
Oh, but still I'll follow you into the light
And you say,
And you, don't see to care anymore,
And if you're letting me walk out the door,
You'll never be satisfied with the way
That your life passes by
