Lyrics

Throw It Away

Keep it quiet
Don't give them problems
Doesn't matter what you wanna say
Bury all the things that you've been feeling
And you've been told to live your life this way

I don't even know you anymore

I can't believe you threw it away
I'm standing right in front of your face
You live your life afraid to change
This is what you really want

And you wanted to believe in something
Nothing ever takes away the pain
And you live your life expecting nothing
It's just another piece they take away

I don't think you know you anymore

I can't believe you threw it away
I'm standing right in front of your face
You live your life afraid to change
This is what you really want
I can't believe you threw it away
I'm standing right in front of your face
You live your life afraid to change
This is what you really want

And all these things you'll never know about me
Stumble again, blinded again
Can't you see
And all these things you'll never know about me
Stumble again, blinded again
Why can't you see

I can't believe you threw it away

I can't believe you threw it away
I'm standing right in front of your face
You live your life afraid to change
This is what you really want
I can't believe you threw it away
I'm standing right in front of your face
You live your life afraid to change
Is this what you really want?
