[Verse 1]
I hope you hear my song
I'd rather burn out than to fade away
All the damage is done
The "dramatic one" has gone away

[Chorus 1]
And without any words, I can hear your name
It's a different verse but the song is the same
I've paid my dues but the bills all remain for us

[Verse 2]
Never wanted to lie
But tell 'em I'm doing fine
Tell 'em I'll be okay
And maybe I'll be alright

[Post-Verse]
The saddest songs that I wrote are how I wish you were here
The saddest songs that I wrote...I wish you were here
The saddest songs that I wrote

[Chorus 2]
And without any words, I can hear your name
It's a different verse but the song is the same
I've paid my dues but the bills all remain for us, yeah
[Bridge]
I said all my soul
I laid it out on the radio
Oh how I wish you could say
"Well done" to me (Yea)

[Chorus 3]
And without any words, I can hear your name
A different verse but the song is the same
I've paid my dues but the bills all remain
I hope for the best but I'm anxious to see
This revolution is small but it matters to me
I wanted it all but you wanted to breathe
I can never understand why you wanted to bleed for us

[Outro]
Alls I've ever known is another world where I am not alone
Will my heart just allow you to breathe
I wish you were here, yeah
That's all
