it's time for drastic measures they're not taking you seriously

and when the music stops

all we have are words merely

so listen up

they're not taking you seriously

and i'd write the words

if i only knew what you needed

touch you in the heart

try and stop the bleeding

and all i want is for you to be okay

i'll do anything for you

just say the word

and i'll write the words

and tell everyone our story

try and find their hearts

hope they don't ignore me

and all i want is for us to be okay

i'd give my life for you

just say the word and i'll say the words

it's what i do it's not my choice

they touch me in my heart

i try and give 'em all a voice and hey. and i don't want it if it's easy

well i can't have it until i've really worked for it

because all you'll have is this idiot

but i'll write the words

and if you give me 5 minutes

i might break your heart

but we're just beginning

and all i want is for us to be okay

i'll do anything for you just say the words

and i'll spread the word

as far as this body can reach

try and find their hearts

no matter how deep

and i'll die for you

i love you all with all i am

i'll do anything for you just say the words

and hey

when i've stopped believing. i hope you'll pick up all these pieces that i'm leaving

because you don't want me if i'm cutting all these corners

these corners. and when the music stops

all we have are words merely

so listen up

they're not taking you seriously

they don't respect you

it might be your managing style

if they neglect you

you might try not being kind

when no one likes you

it's time to start docking their pay

what if they hurt you?

you might try filing a complaint

but remember sticks and stones and

stick those stones

where you can use 'em again

make 'em

bruise when you send

that they'll lose in the end when they feel your revenge

but right now's the time

and it's got to be drastic

trying to hold it all together

with prayer and some plastic ties

no matter what the size

i try and try and die

a little death every time i close my eyes and

resurrect and pass right by

a-another day

another chance

another window!

but they're not taking you seriously though

hey!

we're downsizing your accounts

oh no!

we're all hoping things will bounce

we got to do what's right for the economy

we have to let you go

because we have

no more money

they're not taking you seriously

you're oblivious and can't feel shame

it must be how you carry yourself

you're the only one to blame -

so listen up

oh well

listen up!

and when i've stopped believing

i hope you'll pick up all these pieces that i'm leaving

because you don't want me if i'm cutting all these corners

i've been cutting all these corners

these corners.
