Alive In Standby Weigh You Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lied straight to your face
When I said that it was over
Two damn years and I just find myself getting older
Sometimes I wish it could still be us
‘Cause I'd rather hold you than my grudge
Carry me away
This time I want you with me every day

[Chorus]
I hope you don't become
That girl from back at home
‘Cause I can't bare the thought
Time will tell girl
But I want you to know
Be careful where you throw your words around
Because they'll always weigh you down

[Verse 2]
Under pressure
It leaves me breathless
You can change my mind
I will be reckless
You've got a pretty face
But not the heart to match it
I give you everything
And watched you waste your chances
My biggest fear is that
We'll lose touch
‘Cause my only crime is that
I cared too much

[Chorus]
I hope you, oh God I swear…
You better not become that girl from back at home ‘Cause I can't bare the thought
Time will tell girl
But I want you to know
Be careful where you throw your words around
Because they'll always weigh you down

[Bridge]
Why did you tell me that you'd never be like them?
And all those times we spent together, was it for nothing?
Nobody wins if we fall back, then give in
We never learn from our sins
We fall apart
You're so uptight
And always so quick to fight
I swear you're scared I just might
Treat you right

[Chorus]
I hope you don't become
That girl from back at home
‘Cause I can't bare the thought
Time will tell girl
But I want you to know
Be careful where you throw your words around
Because they'll always weigh you down

[Outro]
Nobody wins if we fall back then give in
We never learn from our sins
We fall apart
