lyrics

you're not real
just the chaos that springs from a butterfly
you're a ghost that came from nothing and left with less
than even the lesson learned

and you still keep asking, as if nothing's ever happened
you keep trying
but you burned so bright that your light burned out so very soon


and you didn't have the courage to stay
and you didn't have the courage to say
and couldn't take the high road, so it ended on the low road of cheap cliches

when the going gets tough the weak break down and cut and run
fight or flight depends on the shiny new thing that comes along

you're so real
the people left behind will remember you
you're a storm
and you changed them all the way that you wanted to

now the road that you traveled is cleared of all it's meaning
cause looking back means nothing if you can't look forward
with head held high and your eyes wide open with piece of mind

and you've got to have the courage to stay
and you've got to have the courage to stay
and you've got to have the courage to say the words that hurt and then walk away

when the going gets tough the weak break down and cut and run
fight or flight depends on the shiny new thing that comes along
then you're not tied down to anything or anyone
cause giving up is easy... it's hard, yeah – it seems both right and wrong
