I've had my share of life's ups and downs But fate's been kind, the downs have been few I guess you could say that I've been lucky And I guess you could say, it's all because of you If anyone should ever write my life story For whatever reason, there might be You'd be there between each line of pain and glory 'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me You're the best thing that ever happened to me Oh, there have been times when the times were so hard But somehow, some way I made it through And for every moment I've spent hurting There's been a moment spent loving you If anyone should ever write my life story For whatever reason, there might be You'd be there between each line of pain and glory 'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me You're the best thing that ever happened to me

Here we go again It's like you're calling all the shots Before I shoot them And I hate that Every time I turn my back I wonder what you'll say to make me sound Like someone different It's not worth it anymore We've been picking up the pieces Leaving all the dust behind Sick of all the pressure You're just wasting time And I don't ever wanna Know what it feels like To be a shadow of myself And I don't ever wanna Come back down from this feeling What makes you think that You know what's better for me And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath Your made up version of me There you go again believing That the truth is what you're reading Talk some shit I haven't heard before If you've got something to say (Don't wanna talk about it) If you need someone to blame (Go on and cry about it) I measure life in minutes But these critics think they've got me figured out We've been picking up the pieces Leaving all the dust behind (We left what wasn't ours behind) Sick of all the pressure You're just wasting time And I don't ever wanna Know what it feels like To be a shadow of myself And I don't ever wanna Come back down from this feeling What makes you think that You know what's better for me And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath Your made up version of me I've lost the strength to keep my Grip on the reality that Every thought from day to day Is fading from my memory But I will never let this grow Out of my control And watch your step so you don't Fall into this hole you dug alone This hole you dug alone And I don't ever wanna Know what it feels like To be a shadow of myself And I don't ever wanna Come back down from this feeling What makes you think that You know what's better for me And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath Your made up version of me

Should I offer up my hand? And save a wish for once for all of us And should I offer up my hand? And lay the guilt on myself So, it's easier to not stay, yeah, to not stay, yeah 'Cause I found you in your corner I pulled you out of the clouds You left in such a hurry Your face is lost in the crowd Should I open up my eyes? Or just ignore who you are And what you could have been And should I open up my eyes? And make believe you will change So, it's easier to not stay, yeah, to not stay, yeah 'Cause I found you in your corner I pulled you out of the clouds You left in such a hurry Your face is lost in the crowd 'Cause I found you in your corner I pulled you out of the clouds You left in such a hurry Your face is lost in the crowd 'Cause I found you in your corner I pulled you out of the clouds You left in such a hurry Your face is lost in the crowd Your face is lost in the crowd Your face is lost in the crowd

There's something I have to tell you Before it's too late There's someone needs a timing I could be the same Got to listen to you clearly Would you understand it all Would you hold it all together Do we run up in the bar Everyone needs someone to listen to If you don't want to shine on Could you know it all And if someone lay before you know it could be true A voice in the crowd You came upon a (?) Just an alibi Did you have to go do it Do you feel you want to try But if you'd only see the reason why (?) When someone came, someone rose, someone left I don't know if you could be sure But you don't understand And if the days were good You'll never know the way we planned And if the time is there for severancing and sentiment A voice in the crowd A voice in the crowd

I'm in with the 'In' crowd I go where the 'In' crowd goes I'm in with the 'In' crowd And I know what the 'In' crowd knows (How to have fun) Any time of the year, don't you hear? (How to have fun) Dressin' fine, makin' time We breeze up and down the street We get respect from the people we meet They make way, day or night They know the 'In' crowd is out of sight I'm in with the 'In' crowd I know ev'ry latest dance When you're in with 'In' crowd It's easy to find romance (And we work out) At a spot where the beat's really hot (And we work out) If it's square we ain't there We make ev'ry minute count Our share is always the biggest amount Other guys imitate us But the original's still the greatest We got our own way of walkin' We got our way of talkin' (Gotta have fun) Any time of the year, don't you hear (Gotta have fun) Spendin' cash, talkin' trash Girl, I'll show you a real good time Come on with me and leave your troubles behind I don't care where you've been You ain't been nowhere till you been in (With the 'In' crowd) With the 'In' crowd With the 'In' crowd

Will you come over and spend the time Until the sunrise Your skin is too bright shinning in the dark Oh god Why do i have to cry when you're by my side You're mine Taking you to rides at the night And seeing you smile So we're slow dancing in the crowd While we're the only lighted ones You're shy and i'm having my perfect time With you Take me between your arms That's where I always belong I don't want to lie I'm missing you all the time Why do i have to cry when you're by my side Oh you're mine Taking you to rides at the night And seeing you smile So we're slow dancing in the crowd While we're the only lighted ones You're shy and i'm having my perfect time With you
