Hawthorne Heights - Picket Fences lyrics

The places I remember are getting worn and withered My heart's the picket fences and needs a little mending am I not everything you thought I should be? The faces in the picture are burnt just like the real ones Our skin is the exposure it's gotten so much older But am I not everything you thought I should be? This life long competition still reeks of repetition I've failed at everything I tried to do my life plays in front of you And now I've realized there's nothing left for me to hide I've opened myself enough for the world to see my guts Where are you now? and where have you been? Everything and everyone, Everything and everyone Must come to an end The children in the school yard have grown so cold and tired The shift is almost over I'm praying I don't get fired Life isn't everything I thought it should be The bills left on the table will be payed if I was able to Work a few more hours, my life has grown so sour Because I'm not everything I thought I could be This life long competition still reeks of repetition I've failed at everything I tried to do my life plays in front of you And now I've realized there's nothing left for me to hide I've opened myself enough for the world to see my guts Where are you now? and where have you been? Everything and everyone, Everything and everyone Must come to an end The places I remember are getting worn and withered My heart's the picket fences and needs a little mending am I not everything you thought I should be?
