Today is goanna be the day
That they're goanna throw it back to you

I always wondered what it would be like to be loved
To have a strong heart
To say what’s on my mind

Sometimes I can’t even look at myself in the mirror
All I see is self-consciousness
And failure

By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do

When I had you
I had strength
When I had you
I had confidence
When I had you
I had it all

And this sea of pain I’m drowning in
Is causing my suicidal thoughts to win

I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

Is it possible that you are still attached me?
Is it possible that maybe
Just maybe
You still love me?

And I know you said you hated me
And I know you never want to see my face again
But,
If you did see my face
Would it bring back our memories?

Not only the memories
But the passion
But the caring
But the love
But the way you said my name

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

And I’ve been trying to get over you
I swear I have
But your memories are burned into my eyes
My brain.
My heart.
My skin.

And if I ever learn to love again
I can only pray I won’t destroy
Another kindred soul

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me

To be back in your arms is all I ask for
To feel your love
Just one last time

If I could take back all the bad things I ever said
I would
I would take back every despicable mistake
And replace it with all my love

And after all

They say we live multiple lives
I hope to fall for you again
When I’m gone, too

You’re my wonderwall.
