If I Were You - Hoobastank

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all that's wrong instead of all that's right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless it's to complain
It's driving me insane

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that I have
If I were you

Look at what's around you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten how just hard it used to be?
So what's it going to take for you to realize
That all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the world I love that I do

Yeah if I were you
Yeah if I were you
If I were you
If I were you

So what's it going to take for you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the world I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I wanna do
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you

Disappear - Hoobastank

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me

Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace
Of the person
The person that I need

Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Can you make them disappear
Make them disappear, oh whoa

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Gonna search through every face
Without a single trace
Of the person
The person that I need

Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Running Away - Hoobastank

I don't want you
To give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be

And I don't need you
To be by my side
To tell me that everything's alright
I just wanted you
To tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

I did enough
To show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had, had enough
And when I get close
You turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you
To tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
To make you change your mind.....

(why you)
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
Is it a waste of time?

Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
To make you change your mind

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
(What is it I have to say?)
So why are you running away?
(To make you admit you're afraid)
Why are you running away?

Born To Lead - Hoobastank

With eyes closed tightly
I march so blindly
Pretending everything’s fine
‘Cause you’re there to keep me in line

I don’t want your guidance
I’ll break my silence
So sick of asking and being denied
And now I realize

We’re holding the key
To unlock the destiny
We we’re born to lead
We’re finally free
No longer follow
We know we we’re born to lead
We we’re born to lead

You can’t ignore me (you can’t ignore me)
You can’t think for me (you can’t think for me)
Your world will come crashing down to the ground
‘Cause I figured you out

We we’re born to lead
We we’re born to lead

I used to think I’m all alone
But now I see our numbers grow
I’m not afraid to break away
Think on my own

With eyes wide open
My new life begins
Without you there to tell me when
We’re in hell when you can’t stop me now

Crawling In The Dark - Hoobastank

I will dedicate and sacrifice my everything
For just a seconds worth of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing

Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more
Than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer

Help me carry on
Assure me its ok to
Use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

Show me what its for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
looking for the answer
Is there something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer

So when and how will I know?(know echo back)

How much further do I have to go? (have to go)
How much longer until I finally know? (finally know)
Cause I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me

Show me what its for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more
Than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer

Inside Of You - Hoobastank

It seems so obvious
There's something up with us
I swear I feel it from across the room
So can I ask you this
Not to be forward miss
But I think I'd kill myself
If I never knew

What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
Cause I love the way you move
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you

Just ask and I will do
Anything you want me to
There is no limit to
How far I will go
And I'm sure I can't pretend
To be a gentleman
But before I begin
I just gotta know
(Just gotta know)
(Just gotta know)

What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
Cause I love the way you move
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you

For now I'll play the game
And I'm waiting for your move
But I've gotta say
That I never lose

What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
What do I have to do
To get inside of you
To get inside of you
Cause I love the way you move
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you

When I'm inside of you
You
You
When I'm inside of you

The Reason - Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so, I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
