This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocket, every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady, something empties within And we say yeah, with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding on to something that's invisible there Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got What was left when that fire was gone I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even know what kind of things I said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead So picking up the pieces, now where to begin The hardest part of ending is starting again I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got I'm missing out the end, missing out the beginning Just a voice like a riot rock in every revision But you listen to your soul and you buy it every time And the words that stay shall make you forget I'm saying this by an open ear Like we're holding on to something that's invisible there Cause we're holding on to what I haven't got
